Chapter 343
"Your Majesty!"
Ji Yunqing held it in for a long time before angrily saying, "Aren't you guys bullying an honest man like me?"
With the same welfare benefits, others don't have to work, but she has to do more work. It seems that their lives are peaceful and quiet, but she is the one who is carrying the burden!
After thinking it over, she felt that she couldn't believe what King Zhao said.
But after Ji Yunqing searched for a long time, there really was no one else.
"Don't look for me anymore. Come over and play chess with me!"
In fact, King Zhao had been recuperating from his wound for a few days and felt that it had healed a lot, so he planned to follow his previous idea and take advantage of the time to teach Ji Shi well.
So that she can understand some rules and know when to advance and retreat, it can be considered a small gift to her.
Let’s start with the simplest game of chess.
Playing chess can reflect many things about a person.
Ji Yunqing didn't know what Prince Zhao was planning. She frowned and watched the maid help Prince Zhao sit up, stuffing a pillow behind his back for him to lean on.
She was actually very embarrassed: "Your Majesty, um...I don't know how to play chess"
King Zhao was unmoved by this.
"I will teach you"
"……Oh well!"
Ji Yunqing waited until the maid skillfully placed a small table on the bed and set up the chessboard before stepping forward.
But sitting on the edge of the bed like this is too uncomfortable, right?
Seeing King Zhao sitting at one end of the bed, Ji Yunqing simply took off his shoes, sat at the end of the bed, and covered himself with half of King Zhao's quilt, making himself comfortable!
King Zhao looked at all this: "..."
The feeling of disgust in my heart became even stronger.
He couldn't help but sneered: "It seems that I should teach you the rules first."
How could there be such an unruly woman who would sit directly on his bed?
Ji Yunqing turned a deaf ear to this and shouted in a familiar voice: "Prince, please bring the plate of snacks next to you. We can eat while playing chess."
King Zhao's face darkened: "How dare you order me to do something?"
As he said this, he brought over a plate of snacks with a gloomy face.
I really don’t know what’s so delicious about this sweet thing?
Ji Yunqing looked at the chessboard in front of him worriedly, and finally turned his gaze to King Zhao.
King Zhao was very generous and considerate: "I will allow you to go first."
He doesn't bully people.
then……
Ji Yunqing blinked the same innocent eyes as Ruirui and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please tell me the rules of chess first."
As for playing chess, especially Go, she only learned a little bit when she was forced to play the game in her previous life, and she had never won!
Now I have forgotten it all!
King Zhao was surprised. How could there be someone in the world so stupid that he couldn't even play chess?
He kept his face stiff and repeated the rules.
In the first game, Ji Yunqing was completely defeated.
In the second game, Ji Yunqing was still completely defeated.
In the third game, Ji Yunqing was still completely defeated.
……
In the twentieth game, Ji Yunqing was furious. He stared at the chess game that was halfway through, and then he lifted up the entire table and turned it over.
"Alright, my lord, it's your turn now!"
King Zhao: “…”
He held the white piece in his hand and watched helplessly as his neat and orderly white pieces turned into a mess of black pieces. Then someone simply and roughly grabbed his hand, snatched the white piece away, and stuffed a black piece into his hand.
Ji Yunqing pursed his lips and said in a crisp tone: "This is yours, take it down quickly!"
In the end, Ji Yunqing still lost.
This time, Ji Yunqing did not directly ask to start over, but looked carefully at the chessboard in front of him.
There was finally a hint of relief in King Zhao's eyes. Although this woman was disgusting, she was at least ambitious.
The next thing he heard was a sentence full of doubt.
Ji Yunqing asked in a pure and innocent voice: "Your Highness, this chess game...how do you know that I lost?"
King Zhao: ...Can’t you even see this?
He finally couldn't help it: "No more chess, play a song for me!"
Ji Yunqing was very dissatisfied. She actually wanted to learn how to play chess. After all, it was a talent!
Besides, if she learned how to play chess, she could use it to kill time with the women in the mansion in the future.
——She doesn’t know how to play mahjong, but she must find some entertainment activity during her retirement life, right?
But seeing King Zhao's ugly expression, Ji Yunqing tactfully did not object.
She has the talent of playing the piano!
It's rare that King Zhao likes to listen to it.
Ji Yunqing quickly calmed himself down and began to ask happily, "My Lord, what song do you want to listen to?"
When King Zhao heard this, his expression instantly improved a lot.
I actually felt a strange sense of relief in my heart. Even if I can't play chess, it's good to be able to play music.
"It's up to you"
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Okay"
The maid in Prince Zhao's main courtyard was very diligent. She brought over a guqin without much delay and placed it on the guqin table that had just been brought over.
Ji Yunqing pretended to walk forward to check, and then pretended to be "shocked", and then looked at King Zhao:
"Your Majesty, this is a great piano!"
King Zhao on the bed showed a satisfied look and nodded modestly: "You have good taste."
Ji Yunqing smiled, she also felt that she had good taste.
Although she couldn't tell whether the piano was good or not, she just went through the motions to praise it - that's how it's portrayed in TV dramas and how it's praised in novels!
At this time, when Eunuch Shi heard the news that Concubine Ji was going to play the piano, his face changed drastically.
He hurried over with anxious look on his face: Prince, is the music played by Concubine Ji acceptable?
You are still injured now, don't you want to live?
However, Eunuch Shi was stopped outside, and he did not dare to step in easily without the prince's order.
Should we stop it?
Unexpectedly, after just a moment of hesitation, there came a burst of terrible piano sounds like chickens and sheep being slaughtered in the wind and rain.
Eunuch Shi was frightened by the noise. He suddenly fell to the ground, holding his chest and began to gasp for breath.
But one of his arms pointed persistently into the room.
"Help, go and save the prince!"
We can't let Concubine Ji play the piano anymore!
No one has ever told him that Concubine Ji's skills can be taken to a higher level!
The maid guarding the gate was also frightened, her eyes wide open. What the hell was going on?
Didn’t you say playing the piano?
Separated by a wall, King Zhao listened twice and called out, "Stop playing!"
Then he held on to a fluke and thought, what if Ji was not familiar with this piece of music?
"Change the song!"
After hearing this, Ji Yunqing naturally changed his fingering technique and switched to another one that had the same effect.
King Zhao immediately stopped them, his face pale.
Now I finally understand why I have always disliked and even hated this woman.
Because he couldn't tell at the moment whether Ji was playing the piano or trying to murder him?
Ji Yunqing didn't stop what she was doing. She thought it sounded pretty good. If she played it a few more times, maybe it would sound even better.
The door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and the sharp and piercing voice of Eunuch Shi could not stop ringing: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"
