The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 51: Superb Chess Skills
King Qi really didn't expect that Mu Xiyue not only knew chess, but also had such excellent chess skills. He would not be naive to think that Mu Xiyue was lucky and just happened to break the chess game with a random move.
"Miss Mu is a master of chess. I am convinced of my defeat!"
Xiao Yibai actually didn't know that Mu Xiyue could play chess. He just called out to make the onlookers notice that Mu Xiyue was there, which really surprised him.
Prince An and the Sixth Prince were watching the chess game nearby, and they were all impressed.
Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi, thank you for your compliment. It was just a coincidence."
King Qi invited Mu Xiyue, "Miss Mu, are you interested in playing a round with me?"
Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Okay, it's my honor."
Xiao Yibai gave up his seat and sat down on the chair next to him.
The King of Qi graciously gave the black chess piece to Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue was not polite and picked up the black piece and placed it directly.
The King of Qi also made a move. Mu Xiyue didn't seem to think about it at all. As soon as the King of Qi made a move, she would make another move quickly, every time.
At first, the onlookers thought Mu Xiyue was a chess expert. After all, she turned the game between the two princes around with just one move. Now, seeing her playing chess without even thinking, they all felt that they were overthinking it. It was already great for a country girl to be able to play chess. How could it be possible for her to be so skilled?
The King of Qi’s chess skills are pretty good, but they are still not good enough compared to Mu Xiyue.
Mu Xiyue couldn't let King Qi lose too quickly, so she had to save him some face, so she slowed down the pace of his moves.
Two quarters of an hour later, the King of Qi had occupied most of the chessboard. Everyone thought that the outcome of the situation was known without further ado. Unexpectedly, Mu Xiyue quickly placed a piece and then smiled as she collected the dead white pieces one by one. With this collection, the King of Qi lost two-thirds of his chessboard, and the situation on the chessboard was reversed.
Qi Wangchao's Mu Xiyue gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss Mu, your chess skills are excellent. I am the one who lost. I admit defeat!"
There was no need to move forward with this move. The defeat was already obvious, and the King of Qi saw no possibility of a comeback.
There was no discomfort in King Qi's eyes at losing to Mu Xiyue, but rather admiration and praise.
Mu Xiyue felt that the King of Qi seemed to be upright, at least in this matter. After all, it was not a good look for a noble prince to lose to a country girl.
Seeing the Prince of Qi's good attitude, Mu Xiyue took the white chess piece in front of him and placed it on the board, saying, "Your Highness, there is nothing absolute in this world. Everything depends on human effort. Victory or defeat is a matter of thought. If you give up, you have truly lost."
King Qi looked at the chessboard again. The situation was reversed by just one piece, and Mu Xiyue's words were also very meaningful.
"Nothing is absolute in this world. Everything depends on human effort. Victory or defeat is just a matter of thought. If you give up, you have truly lost."
The King of Qi muttered something about Mu Xiyue, then burst into laughter. He stood up and bowed to Mu Xiyue as if she were his equal. "Miss Mu is very talented. I am grateful for your guidance."
Mu Xiyue stepped aside and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, please forgive me. I am just a country bumpkin. I hope Your Highness will not hold me accountable for my rude words."
Xiao Yibai's chess skills are not worse than King Qi's. He deliberately lost when playing chess with King Qi just now, but when he saw Mu Xiyue's chess skills, he was secretly amazed. Her chess skills were obviously much higher than his.
In her previous life, Mu Xiyue's grandfather was a famous Go master in the country. She was influenced by him since she was a child and naturally became very good at Go. She won the first place in the National Primary School Go Competition when she was in elementary school, the first place in the National Youth Go Competition when she was in junior high school, and the winner in the human-computer game when she was in the second year of high school. The fact that she could win against the computer shows how superb Mu Xiyue's Go skills are.
There were many people who were proficient in chess among the spectators, and they were amazed at the game.
While people were still praising Mu Xiyue's chess skills, there was a commotion in the crowd not far away, and many people were seen following the crowd and walking in one direction.
The Sixth Prince stood on tiptoe to take a look and said, "Is there something exciting happening over there? My three brothers, should we go and take a look?"
Xiao Yibai naturally knew what was going on, so he stood up immediately and said, "Let's go and take a look. Miss Mu, would you like to come with us?"
Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."
This flower-viewing banquet was hosted by Princess Qinyang, so whatever happened at the banquet would naturally be reported to Princess Qinyang first. At this time, Princess Qinyang was walking in front, leading a large group of people behind her to the courtyard where the guests were resting.
So many people rushed into the yard at once, and the yard suddenly became crowded.
Excited voices came out from the room. Although all the people attending the banquet today were unmarried, many men had concubines at home. Even those who had not experienced this knew what these sounds meant.
Princess Qinyang stood in front of the crowd in great embarrassment. After all, she was just an unmarried woman, not even engaged, so it was not appropriate for her to rashly go and see what was going on in the room.
Shao Shuying, who was standing beside her, spoke up, "Princess, this Miss Mu is too shameless. How could she do such a shameful thing in this imperial manor? She doesn't take you, the princess, or the royal family seriously at all!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some people who were not in the know began to discuss in low voices.
Princess Qinyang feigned embarrassment and said, "Shuying, don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen anyone. What if it's not Miss Mu inside? We are all unmarried young men and women here, so it's not appropriate to force our way in. But, but the people inside are really going too far. This is the imperial estate, and I cannot escape the blame for allowing such obscenities to occur at the banquet I hosted."
A maidservant replied, "My Lady, please leave the courtyard with the others and let me go in to see who is so bold."
Mu Xiyue, Xiao Yibai and others stood at the back of the crowd. At this moment, these princes were the people with the highest status here, and it would be unreasonable if they did not show up at this time.
Prince An is the third prince, the eldest among the princes. He knows very well that there must be something fishy about this matter. When he heard Miss Mu mentioned earlier, it must be targeting Miss Mu.
There were so many people in the yard and the noise was so loud, but the people in the house still did their own thing. This kind of thing had happened before at other banquets, but he still had to bite the bullet and go forward.
Prince An did not forget to bring his other brothers along, and also called Mu Xiyue to squeeze to the front of the crowd.
"Miss Mu, the people in front are saying that the person in the room is you. What do you think about this?"
Mu Xiyue curled the corners of her lips. "What do you think, Your Highness Prince An, what's going on in that room? It sounds like someone is abusing a woman. Why isn't anyone trying to stop it?"
Shao Shuying saw Mu Xiyue screaming in shock, "Mu Xiyue, why are you here? Shouldn't you be inside?"
Mu Xiyue looked at her playfully, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "What do you mean, Miss Shao Er? Why can't I be here? And what do you mean I should be inside? You didn't think I was in this room, so you called someone to beat me up, did you? But this is the first time we've met. What grudge do you have that you want someone to beat me up?"
