Chu Younan turned his head and took a glance, then said: "Father, she is just an ordinary servant. Comparing with her is a bit too much."

Chi Man was anxious, and immediately said: "It is said that you Wu people are good at poetry and songs. You let the princess compete with me, isn't that bullying? We let her choose first, and she is good at the two games, so it is not bullying!"

Having said this, it would be hypocritical to say more, so Chu Yan immediately said: "Prince Su, let him compete with Princess Gaoliu!"

Chu Younan could not disobey the order. Fortunately, Su Bei was also muttering in his heart: Qinqi calligraphy and painting poetry wine and tea, the original owner had learned all of these! Chu Younan didn't know what the original owner was, but knowing that Ah Bei had learned them, he was relieved.

But he still said to Chu Yan: "Father, if she loses..."

Chu Yan waved his hand at him with a serious face, "Do your best! Winning or losing depends on luck! If you win, I will reward you handsomely!"

The queen at the side whispered in Chu Yan's ear: "Your Majesty, that boy looks pretty, like a girl."

Chu Yan looked at Su Bei meaningfully, and then he realized that it was the little maid who helped solve the murder case last time, so he said again: "If you can win, I will grant you a wish!"

Su Bei was not particularly interested in the previous rewards, but this wish touched her heart.

With this wish, she can be an ordinary person, right? She can really stop being a slave, right?

For this, she must use all her abilities! Chu Younan's heart suddenly sank.

She still wants to leave after all...

Su Bei stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He looked at Princess Yaruo with a smile and said, "Since you let me choose first, then for the first game, I will choose chess."

Yaruo looked at her arrogantly, her eyes full of contempt, "Yes!"

In the middle of the hall, a chess table was set up. Su Bei, dressed in green servant's clothes, sat opposite Princess Yaruo, who was dressed in gorgeous attire.

She held her chin with one hand, picked up a black chess piece with her white fingertips, and placed it on the chessboard calmly.

The hall was eerily quiet, with the sound of chess pieces falling echoing in every corner.

Mei Fei looked over nervously, holding Princess Mu Hui's hand tightly. Her daughter's future life was all pinned on a nameless servant, how could she not be worried.

Mo Gaishi also looked over. It was only the beginning of the game, and he saw Su Bei taking every step carefully, and Ya Ruo ostentatiously conquering cities and territories. He did not want Su Bei to win, because to him, Mu Hui's life was not important, what was important was the alliance with Gao Liu.

The emperor also looked out. The war below seemed calm, but it was actually turbulent. Just like the Wu Kingdom and Gaoliu, on the surface they were diplomatic relations, but in reality the wolf wanted to eat the tiger, and the tiger also wanted to eat the wolf. Gaoliu's prince and princess came directly to Wu's prince and princess, and their intentions were obvious.

Chu Younan was the closest, and he didn't have the mind to think about that much, just concentrating on the chess game. He wanted Su Bei to win, but he didn't want her to win, and he was extremely entangled.

Seeing that Princess Yaruo had surrounded a large group of Su Bei's black pieces, the outcome of the battle seemed to be decided. Almost everyone frowned, but Su Bei still calmly picked up a black piece and slowly put it down.

"Ha! I'm going to win!" Yaruo happily went to collect a large number of black spots from Su Bei.

But Su Bei curled up the corners of his lips, Chu Younan also breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Yan's face showed joy.

After Yaruo took away the black piece, a large space on the chessboard was left empty, which also exposed Yaruo's weakness to Su Bei.

The conservative attack just now suddenly became fierce. Princess Yaruo, whose smile had not yet faded, was suddenly caught in a panic. She tried her best to remedy the situation, but it was of no avail. One white piece after another was taken into Su Bei's pocket.

Those long nights without television and entertainment, playing chess quietly under the moonlight, were fully utilized by Su Bei at this moment.

"In the first game, Abei wins in chess!" Eunuch Wang's voice seemed full of confidence.

Su Bei turned his head and blinked at Chu Younan.

It's best of three games, so as long as you choose two things you are good at, your chance of winning will be 66.67%. In the second game, just try your best. Winning is great, but if you lose, you can still make a comeback in the third game.

Obviously, Chu Yan also thought of this, and his face was full of smiles. On the contrary, the queen beside him gradually frowned.

Mu Hui is indeed just a princess, but she has helped Concubine Mei a lot in her quest for favor. Prince Jin is about to reach adulthood and will become a strong rival in the fight for the throne. It would be best if she could be married far away. It doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive.

Mei Fei had been fighting with the Queen for many years, so she naturally knew what she was thinking. She looked at the Queen from afar, but was suddenly grabbed by the hand by someone on her left.

"Just be patient." Imperial Concubine Yao nodded slowly at her.

Concubine Mei held Concubine Yao's hand, and the temperature of their palms formed a tacit understanding.

"In the second round, this princess chooses archery!" Yaruo said arrogantly.

The Gaoliu princes and princesses were treated equally, and they were educated according to their own will and preferences.

Yaruo had followed Chiman to hunt wolves, tigers, and archery, and she was as good as many men.

Chu Younan frowned slightly. This required a lot of hard work. He wondered if Abei's delicate hands could pull the bow.

Su Bei, however, had a calm expression, neither happy nor sad, he just calmly watched the palace servants prepare the equipment for archery.

After a while, two human-shaped targets were placed at the entrance of the hall. Yaruo picked up the longbow prepared by the palace servants and weighed it, then frowned and said, "Too light, change it!"

Her strength is evident in every word.

Chu Yan raised his hand and said calmly: "Give her another one!"

The palace maid retreated in response, and soon came back with a heavier bow.

Yaruo weighed it again and then showed a satisfied smile. Then she picked up three feather arrows, drew the bow, and shot three arrows in a row at the target without stopping.

The arrows made a whistling sound, one arrow hit the target's heart, one arrow hit the target's left eye, and the other arrow hit the target's right eye.

Everyone gasped, but they heard Chi Man clapping his hands happily, "Great! Great! My little sister's archery skills are better than any man's!"

Chu Younan was a little flustered when he heard Su Bei's words: Oh my! This speed is too fast! He should have been worried, but he felt a little happy unconsciously.

Su Bei calmed himself down, walked forward, picked up the bow that Yaruo said was too light, pulled it once, and then frowned.

Was it because the bowstring was too hard, or was it because her hand was too tender, that it was actually cut! Chu Younan slowly stood up, walked closer to Su Bei, took off the white jade ring on her finger and put it on her hand, then said softly: "Just do your best."

Su Bei bit her lip lightly, nodded, and then pulled the bow again.
