Chapter 152: Lose a round, take off a
piece Cheng Jin held up her chin and stared at Chu Chengye suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, you have already eaten three bowls of rice? Don't you want to eat more?"
"If I stay a little longer, it will probably be dawn."
Chu Chengye remained silent.
Cheng Jin continued, "If your Majesty really doesn't want to leave, then I'll let Cuizhu clean up the food."
"Actually, I won't chase you away even if you've finished eating."
Chu Chengye looked up at Cheng Jin and put down his chopsticks. Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing.
Cuizhu immediately cleaned up the food.
Before Chu Chengye could speak, Wei An suddenly came in.
He respectfully saluted Cheng Jin and Chu Chengye, "Your Majesty has finished eating, do you want to leave Jingyang Palace?"
Chu Chengye signaled Wei An to shut up with his eyes.
Wei An then realized that he had done something wrong.
Chu Chengye had instructed in advance that Wei An was not allowed to come in and ask questions before he had finished eating, and his main intention was to delay time.
Wei An was also keeping an eye on the situation inside the house from outside the door, and only came in to test after seeing Cuizhu packed up her things.
Wei An noticed Chu Chengye's expression and immediately changed his words.
"The eunuch outside the door just now said that the sedan chair is broken, and if the emperor wants to go back, he will probably have to wait for a while."
"But I see that it is getting late now, so why don't the emperor stay in Chunhe Palace with Concubine Rong to celebrate the New Year."
Chu Chengye is as strong as an ox, and he usually walks very fast. Cheng Jin has never seen Chu Chengye sitting on a sedan chair.
This excuse is really bad.
But Cheng Jin did not expose this lie full of loopholes.
Cheng Jin nodded and smiled, "In that case, Your Majesty, please stay." As
Cheng Jin spoke, she tugged at Chu Chengye's sleeve and winked at him, as if she really was a concubine who brought disaster to the country.
Chu Chengye was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded.
There was no point in just sitting there, as there was still a long time before midnight.
Cheng Jin took the initiative to ask Chu Chengye to play chess.
The original owner of the book was not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and coincidentally, Cheng Jin was not good at it either.
She sat there staring at Chu Chengye for a long time, and Cuizhu next to her poked Cheng Jin's shoulder and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's your turn."
Cheng Jin followed suit and moved a chess piece.
Chu Chengye also moved a chess piece. When he looked up at Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin was biting her hand and thinking seriously.
Chu Chengye pretended to know nothing and knocked on the position where Cheng Jin should move.
Cheng Jin understood immediately and threw a thankful expression towards Chu Chengye.
But even if Chu Chengye gave in to her in every way, Cheng Jin still had the will but not the strength.
When Chu Chengye was about to win, Cheng Jin sighed and messed up the chess game.
"This game doesn't count, let's play another one."
Chu Chengye crossed his arms and chuckled, "This is the third game you've ruined."
Cheng Jin didn't care, put the chess pieces back in place, and said very seriously.
"This is the last time, I'm going to be serious this time." "It's
too boring to play around."
Realizing that Cheng Jin couldn't afford to lose and was going to cheat, Chu Chengye went along with her and said, "Then how do you want to play?"
Cheng Jin showed a wicked smile on her face, took off a hairpin from her head, and slapped it on the table with a "snap".
"Let's bet something."
Chu Chengye waved his hand and asked Wei An to bring money. Cheng Jin waved her hand and said, "No, just trade with the things you have on you."
"I don't have anything on me, so let's bet with clothes. If you lose a round, you take off one piece. Is that okay?"
Chu Chengye looked at the hairpins on Cheng Jin's head, and then looked at the almost no accessories on his body, and frowned slightly.
No wonder Cheng Jin asked Cui Zhu to put hairpins on her head halfway through the game, and only stopped when her hair was full. It turned out that this was her idea.
But Chu Chengye didn't expect that he would lose at all. He raised his eyebrows slightly and accepted Cheng Jin's bet.
"Okay."
Wei An and Cui Zhu noticed something wrong and retreated quietly.
Cheng Jin was not afraid at all. She looked back and put the chess pieces in place.
Chu Chengye put the ring on the table, and Cheng Jin took it in her hand.
Chu Chengye said, "You haven't started yet, how do you know you will win?"
Cheng Jin said, "It's a matter of time."
After losing so many times in a row, Chu Chengye didn't know where Cheng Jin got the confidence from. He nodded and smiled, and let Cheng Jin play first.
Cheng Jin moved her pawns first.
Chu Chengye followed suit and moved one of them.
Suddenly, the horse that was supposed to move "日" attacked Chu Chengye's camp under Cheng Jin's control.
Chu Chengye's eyes widened, staring at Cheng Jin with confusion, asking her to give a reasonable explanation.
Cheng Jin didn't show any guilt on her face, she explained to Chu Chengye seriously.
"You don't understand, this is a thousand-mile horse."
Chu Chengye: "..."
After that, Cheng Jin ignored Chu Chengye and continued to play her own chess.
Chu Chengye ate Cheng Jin's horse expressionlessly.
Cheng Jin didn't expect Chu Chengye to be so cruel, and with a look of surprise on her face, she continued to set up her own game.
Chu Chengye played with Cheng Jin, listening to her changing three rules.
"This is not a carriage, it's a racing car, it can run very far."
"This is not an ordinary cannon, this is a cannon, it has a long range."
"My handsome man's beauty trap, why doesn't it work?"
Chu Chengye agreed one by one, listening to Cheng Jin's nonsense.
Cheng Jin didn't know how to play in the first place, and even after changing the rules of the game, she was still not as good as Chu Chengye. Seeing that Chu Chengye was about to eat up all her chess pieces, Cheng Jin began to worry about her own things.
Cheng Jin directly let the soldiers next to Chu Chengye's "general" kill Chu Chengye's "general".
Cheng Jin took the "general", and before she could say "I won", she saw Chu Chengye's face full of confusion.
"Forget about what happened before, you used my soldiers to kill my general?"
Cheng Jin nodded with a stiff neck.
"Why?"
Cheng Jin explained without blushing: "You didn't expect it, this is a spy I planted."
Chu Chengye: "..."
No wonder Cheng Jin was so confident that she could win before playing, all the rules were set by Cheng Jin, it would be strange if she didn't win.
Cheng Jin raised her head and smiled at Chu Chengye, and began to ponder the jade ring that Chu Chengye was holding.
[It's not bad to get this good thing during the New Year.]
Chu Chengye suddenly stood up and raised his hand to take the thing from Cheng Jin's hand.
Cheng Jin was shocked and accused Chu Chengye: "What are you doing?"
"I accept the loss."
Chu Chengye smiled and said, "I don't want to deny it, but I want to change this collateral."
Chu Chengye stretched his hand to his waist.
Cheng Jin's sharp eyes immediately saw the big jade pendant hanging on Chu Chengye's waist, and nodded vigorously.
"Change it."
Cheng Jin's eyes never left Chu Chengye's body.
Chu Chengye suddenly smiled, took his hand off the jade pendant, and hooked his hand slightly, and the carved gold belt buckle on Chu Chengye's waist fell down.
Without the restraint around his waist, Chu Chengye's robe slightly spread out, revealing the lining inside.
Chu Chengye tilted his head and smiled at Cheng Jin.
"If you lose a game, take off one piece of clothing. I remember it."
