Chapter 357 Learning to Play Chess

He Yuan felt even more frustrated and angry. After returning from the palace, he ran home with murderous intent.

As soon as he returned home, he called Madam He to his side and slapped her in the face before she could say anything.

"Useless! How do you do things?"

Whenever I think of the dissatisfied looks the Emperor and the Empress gave me today, I feel furious.

I thought she had resolved the matter, but it turned out that they didn't go at all. I remembered the mocking looks they gave me.

I felt so suffocated that I really wanted to tear the woman in front of me to pieces.

"Master, what did I do wrong?" Mrs. He covered her face with her hands.

She looked at He Yuan with grievance, tears welling up in her eyes. Could it be that things today didn't go well?

Unless this is the case, why would the master be so angry? But what does this have to do with her?

"You still have the nerve to say that?" He Yuan pointed at Mrs. He's nose with gritted teeth.

"We have been waiting in the Imperial Study for so long recently, but we didn't see that woman coming. What did you tell him?"

He Yuan's chest was heaving with anger. He thought today's matter could be settled, but he didn't expect this result.

Thinking of those mocking looks, I feel so angry.

"You said that dead girl didn't go!" Mrs. He looked at He Yuan in surprise.

The girl had promised to go before, so how could she not go?

"Who are you asking?" He Yuan glared at Mrs. He with dissatisfaction.

As soon as I saw her unaware look, I knew she was being tricked.

"If that girl can't enter the palace tomorrow, you can just wait to be divorced." He Yuan glared at Mrs. He viciously.

He threw his sleeves and walked away angrily.

"Master!" Mrs. He was shocked.

She stared at He Yuan's back in disbelief. The master never got angry with her, but now he not only beat her.

He even said he wanted to divorce her. It was a little hard for her to accept it for a while, and I felt hatred and anger in my heart.

That damn girl clearly promised me everything, but I ended up cheating her. I really want to kill her.

At this moment, Shen Yiyi was inserting various ornaments into her head.

Looking at the Crown Princess's head, which was so heavy that she couldn't even lift it up, Jiang Zuo frowned curiously.

"Miss, aren't you not interested in these things?"

The Crown Princess never wore any jewelry before, and I have never seen her show any interest in these things.

But now her head is full of ornaments. It's very strange that she is suddenly interested in these things again.

"Is it okay if I don't stay here?" Shen Yiyi held her head.

There's nothing to do here, so what else can I do?

"Oh." Jiang Zuo nodded. It turned out that the Crown Princess was free.

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, do you have any good way to pass the time?" Shen Yiyi looked at him.

It's really boring here since I can't go out for a walk or make pills.

"To kill time?"

"Yes, I do it when I have nothing to do."

"Unless it's a game of chess." Jiang Zuo pinched his chin and looked at the room in front of him.

In such a small place, the only way to pass the time is to play chess.

"Play chess! Sure, then go get a set of chess." Shen Yiyi's eyes lit up. She was worried that it would be uncomfortable to stay in the room.

"Miss, can you play chess?" Jiang Zuo looked at Shen Yiyi, but he had never heard the Crown Princess say that she could play chess.

"No! But you can teach me!" Shen Yiyi's eyes sparkled.

Although she doesn't know how to play chess, she can learn it since she has nothing to do.

"Um... okay." Jiang Zuo nodded.

Since I'm doing nothing here anyway, I might as well teach the Crown Princess how to play chess, then turned and walked out.

It didn't take long for him to bring back a set of chess, which made Shen Yiyi very happy.

He quickly cleaned the table, placed the chessboard on it, and picked up a chess piece.

"What is this horse for?"

Seeing that the Crown Princess really knew nothing about it, Jiang Zuo began to explain patiently.

"Miss, the route this horse is taking is in the shape of a sun, and the route this elephant is taking is in the shape of a field."

Jiang Zuo demonstrated as he spoke, and Shen Yiyi followed suit.

"Oh, I see. What about this pawn?"

"This pawn can only move forward. It can only move left or right after passing here. This rook is really powerful..."

Jiang Zuo explained each one to Shen Yiyi one by one, and soon Shen Yiyi remembered them, and the two began to officially compete.

"A horse walks on the sun, an elephant walks on the field..."

Afraid of making a mistake, Shen Yiyi muttered to herself while moving the chess piece with an extremely serious attitude.

But after all, it was the first time playing chess, so mistakes were inevitable, which was also within Jiang Zuo's expectations.

Every time she took the wrong path, he would explain it patiently, and Shen Yiyi learned very humbly.

In addition, I have just started learning now, and my interest is high, so I am more attentive to it.

Just as it was raining, I heard some noise outside again.

"Miss, someone is coming."

"Don't worry about him." Shen Yiyi waved her hand.

They were having fun, loving each other, and before Jiang Zuo could say anything else, Mrs. He walked in from outside, smiling.

"Miss Shen, this is a game of chess!"

"Yeah." Shen Yiyi agreed without even raising her head, and then urged again.

"It's your turn."

"Oh." Jiang Zuo moved the car in his hand one step to the left.

"General."

"Oh!" Yiyi frowned and quickly pushed the soldier in front of her aside.

"Miss, you, a pawn, can only move forward."

"It's okay, just go for now, and don't go forward next time." Shen Yiyi waved her hand.

Seeing that Shuai is about to be eaten by someone, he has to protect him no matter what.

“……” Jiang Zuo’s mouth twitched, but he still closed his mouth.

Seeing them playing chess as if nothing had happened, Mrs. He was extremely angry but she still managed a smile on her face.

"I didn't expect Miss Shen to be so good at chess! She's just as good as a man."

"Mrs. He, you're joking. I haven't learned it yet." Shen Yiyi pointed to the chessboard in front of her.

He is like a blind man, not realizing that he has taken the wrong path, and he doesn't even know how to praise others.

"..." Mrs. He choked and almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.

This damn girl actually dared to talk to her like that, but when she thought of her purpose, she hid the displeasure on her face.

He waved to the person behind him.

"Miss Shen, I got some good stuff again. I'm here to give it to you."

After saying that, she lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing the golden ingots and various jewelries glittering with gold underneath.

It was obviously many times better than what was given before, and even the gold ingots were ten times more.

Even though it was painful to bear the loss of ten thousand taels of gold, the current matter was important. If this dead girl was not allowed to enter the palace quickly.

If the master gets angry, he will definitely divorce her. Shen Yiyi glanced at the things on the tray.

"..."

This old woman has finally made some progress. The things she got this time are quite decent. But how can she let the matter go so quickly?

Thinking of this, his eyes widened in shock when he looked at the things on the tray.

"Oh! Madam He, what are you doing?"
