Jiang Xiwan couldn't help but tremble when she heard this and took a step back.
Chen Jingxi chuckled. This guy actually liked to scare people. "Your Majesty, do you believe that I, the princess, can solve this chess game?"
"Of course I believe it. The princess and I are both talented and intelligent. There is no need to cheat to solve this small chess game."
Chen Jingxi was very happy. It was a very happy thing to be supported and trusted by others. "In order not to disappoint the prince's trust and to shut up some people, this princess will generously tell you that there is another solution to this chess game."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was already a miracle for someone to have a solution. No one expected that Princess Su had another solution. If she really solved it in another way, the player from the Great Xia national team would probably have to be replaced.
Chen Jingxi slowly walked to the chessboard, extended her slender fingers, and placed a white piece on an empty space in the upper right corner. She said, "If I place this white piece here and capture this black piece, a rare three-fold calamity cycle will occur, and the game will be declared a draw."
Everyone was shocked. If this chess game was a war between two countries, then a draw would be the best solution. In this game, it seemed that Black had a sure win, but if he wanted to trap White, he had to deploy troops, and defense in the rear became a problem.
When two countries are at war, they must also guard against small neighboring countries stealing their territory.
If the white chess pieces want to break through the siege, there is only one way out, which is a bloody one. The cost is too high and it will hurt the foundation. As a general, a desperate battle will only be fought when there is no other way.
"This...this is simply..." someone exclaimed.
Chen Jingxi chuckled, "Why do you still think it's a coincidence?"
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
Chu Jinghuai smiled and said, "The princess is truly surprising this prince more and more."
"Why are you worshipping me? Don't worship me. I'm just a legend."
A hint of smile flashed across Chu Jinghuai's stern face, but this fleeting smile was noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
Finally, Xie An announced, "Princess Su ranked first in poetry and first in chess, tied with Miss Jiang for first place. However, after the three of us discussed it, we all agreed that Princess Su was better, so the first place in this competition is Princess Su."
Chen Jingxi stepped forward and bowed in thanks. After she stood up, she said, "I didn't want to be number one, but some people always look at me provocatively after their performances and say some very unpleasant things. This makes me very unhappy, so I have to teach them a lesson."
After Chen Jingxi finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Jiang Xiwan.
That’s right, I’m talking about you.
Chu Jingyue said excitedly: "Who of you just said that Princess Su has no talent? You are the only ones who are worthy of being called Confucian scholars and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Third Emperor's wife."
"Ninth brother, be low-key. You should be low-key." Although she acted very high-profile, what she said to herself and what she said to others were two different things.
Jiang Xiwan, who was standing aside, had a pale face. She bit her lower lip tightly, clenched her hands into fists, her fingertips trembling slightly, and tried her best to control her emotions.
She will always remember this humiliation, and one day she will make Chen Jingxi kneel before her and beg for mercy.
Princess Yuzhen opened her mouth and wanted to say a few words on behalf of her cousin Jiang Xiwan, but the Queen gave her a warning look and she calmed down.
As Chen Jingxi was accepting everyone's congratulations, she heard Prince Rong's voice: "My third sister-in-law is truly talented and a heroine."
She looked over and saw that the man's expression changed really quickly. Wasn't he the one who laughed the loudest just now?
"I don't dare to call myself a heroine. I am just a princess with some talent, and I don't like to show off, so some people look down on me."
Prince Rong was stunned, then laughed it off and let the matter go.
King Jin Chu Jingxun just sat there from beginning to end, and no one seemed to notice him.
When Chen Jingxi looked at Prince Rong, he glanced at him. He was dressed in white and smiling, like an immortal, who was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The banquet ended with a sound of praise, the emperor left, and Chen Jingxi was still surrounded by people.
"If I could get some guidance from the princess, I would have no regrets even if I died!"
"So does this old minister."
"When is your princess free? We will host a banquet at Qingya Pavilion to welcome her."
"My Lords, thank you for your kindness to Jingxi. When I'm free someday, I'll send someone to tell you all."
She had just arrived here and didn't know how the world protected women. Although she wanted to see the chess skills of people in this era, she had to save her life first.
Chu Jinghuai was staring at his princess gloomily with anger on his face. A group of people with half their bodies buried in the ground were lining up to play chess with his princess. Was this reasonable?
"Princess, it's time to go back." He stood up, took Chen Jingxi's hand, and strode away.
Chen Jingxi turned around and said, "Gentlemen, let's make an appointment again when you are free."
When Chu Jinghuai heard this, he picked up Chen Jingxi and disappeared in front of the group of people.
My Lords: “…”
Ling Feng, who was following behind, had a big question mark in his mind. The prince seemed angry. Why was he angry? The princess made friends with the ministers who were her right-hand men. This would be of great benefit to the prince in the future.
"Chu Jinghuai, put me down. Do you know that this is very rude? If you don't put me down, I will bite you."
"Help! How could I be so unlucky to marry such an inhuman thing like you?" Chen Jingxi kicked with her hands and feet.
"Princess, if you keep yelling and screaming, I won't mind knocking you out."
Chen Jingxi covered her mouth and whispered, "Your Highness, don't I have any dignity? Have you ever seen that princess being carried away in the palace? I just thought you were a good person, and now you treat me like this."
