Chapter 471: Men’s damn desire to win
Zhao Chengye glanced at her coldly and reminded her: “She is my Crown Princess!”
Xu Muhua shrugged and spread her hands: “So what? She is still my best friend! I have known her for much longer than you!”
“You are so brave!”
Xu Muhua immediately burst into tears, “I am really wronged, I am so wronged, I will go to the Crown Princess and ask her to give me justice!” As she
said this, she was about to stand up, as if she was going to ask for justice from the Crown Princess.
Zhao Chengye didn't dare to bet whether she was just bluffing or really going to look for Arong. He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Sit down!"
Xu Muhua hesitated for a moment before sitting down, but she still held the handkerchief and pretended to press the corners of her eyes. It was so fake, but Zhao Chengye couldn't do anything about her!
He forced a smile and said, "Concubine, how can you not take a joke? You are not like the concubine I knew before."
Yes, when he met her before, he only felt that she was a little different from ordinary women. She seemed to be particularly courageous and had her own ideas. He didn't think much of it before, but now that she has become the concubine of the Eastern Palace, he suddenly found that it didn't seem to be a good thing for her to be his concubine in the Eastern Palace.
Look, isn't it proven now?
He is the dignified Crown Prince of Dayong, second only to the emperor and above all others, but now he is being controlled by his concubine!
"It seems that Your Highness doesn't know me well enough. It doesn't matter. There will be many days in the future, and Your Highness will have many opportunities to understand me."
Zhao Chengye said nothing.
"Then where will Your Highness sleep tonight?"
Xu Muhua raised her head and blinked, looking at Zhao Chengye with a pure expression.
Zhao Chengye gritted his teeth secretly and squeezed out a smile, "I am a man, and you are my concubine. I should pity you, so how could I let you sleep in the warm pavilion? I was just joking with you just now!"
Xu Muhua let out a breath, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, "You scared me, it turns out that I was overthinking!"
"It's you who are overthinking!" Could
Xu Muhua not hear his gnashing of teeth? Of course not, but what does it matter?
Zhao Chengye's eyes fell on the short chessboard, "Let's play a game!"
Xu Muhua raised her eyebrows, "Okay!"
So the two of them played chess on the left and right, Xu Muhua played the black pieces, Zhao Chengye played the white pieces, and it was only after he asked Xu Muhua to give way that she played the black pieces.
Zhao Chengye originally wanted to teach her a lesson by playing chess, but seeing that she was playing by herself, he didn't think much about it. He felt that even if she knew how to play, she might not be very good, and it was even more impossible for her to compare with him, so he was confident and ready to kill her without leaving a single piece of armor.
But while he was playing, he stared at the chessboard and didn't move!
This is impossible! How could he lose?
He must have been too careless and let down his guard, allowing Xu Muhua to take advantage of the opportunity!
"Again!"
After an unknown amount of time...
"Again!"
He didn't believe it!
Xu Muhua sat on the Luohan bed with one hand resting on the pillow, and used the other hand to lazily play Go with Zhao Chengye. Her expression was relaxed and natural, and she even didn't care.
"Again!"
He didn't believe it!
Xu Muhua glanced at him, secretly clicked her tongue, and shook her head.
Men, this damn desire to win and lose.
I don't know how many games Zhao Chengye has played, but he still hasn't won! The more he loses, the more he refuses to admit defeat, and the more he wants to get back at them.
But Xu Muhua pushed her hand away, "No more! It's getting late, it's time to get ready to rest!"
Playing, playing, killing time is fine, but it's boring like him. She's not in a competition!
Zhao Chengye frowned and looked at the water clock in the room. He found that it was indeed late. More than an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. Now it was already halfway through the night of Xu!
He was in a dilemma.
It was late, and he should have rested. But he hadn't won a game against Xu Muhua yet! If he just slept like this, wouldn't it be the same as admitting defeat? How could
he, the prince of Dayong, lose to a lady from a noble family, or an unknown lady from a noble family? If this got out, where would he put his face?
Seeing his troubled face, Xu Muhua finally gave him some face and took the initiative to find the stairs for him to go down, saying: "Your Highness, you have worked hard all day, and it is time to rest. Your brain is the least active at this time. Maybe when Your Highness has rested, the outcome will be completely different!"
Zhao Chengye immediately went down the stairs when he heard it, "What you said makes sense, then take a rest first! I will go down with you another day when I have time!"
Yes, it must be because he handled too much official business during the day and was tired, so his brain was a little slow, so he lost to her!
Xu Muhua covered her mouth and yawned.
"By the way, do you have any idea about returning home tomorrow?"
Xu Muhua shook her head, "I don't have any idea, Your Highness just follow the rules."
Zhao Chengye understood, nodded, and stood up, "Then take a rest!"
This time he was very conscious, and he went to the warm pavilion by himself without Xu Muhua's reminder.
Nanny Qi and Wu'er came in to help her lie down.
Nanny Qi tried to hold back but couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why did you let the prince sleep in the warm pavilion again?"
Last night on the wedding night, she insisted on calling the Crown Princess over, and it was astonishing to drive the prince to sleep in the warm pavilion. Last night, she could still say that the Crown Princess was there and took her into consideration, but tonight, why didn't she keep the prince, but let him sleep in the warm pavilion again?
What is your Majesty going to do?
Xu Muhua glanced at Aunt Qi in confusion, "He doesn't want to sleep in the warm room, should I? That's not possible! This bed is mine, of course I sleep on it, how can I let him sleep on it?"
Aunt Qi was very angry, and she lowered her voice even more, "Do you really want to go on like this? You and the prince are husband and wife! How can you keep going like this..."
"Mammy, you are wrong, the prince and the princess are husband and wife! I am a concubine, how can I say we are husband and wife!"
Madam Qi wanted to pinch her to see if she could wake her up!
No matter what, the prince was her husband. Why did she chase him away instead of trying to keep him?
It was true that she and the Crown Princess were good friends, but now that she had entered the Eastern Palace, some things were unavoidable. Besides, it was only right to consummate the marriage. Even if it was consummated, it would not affect the Crown Princess at all!
Xu Muhua did not expect Madam Qi to understand, and said, "Oh, Madam Qi, you don't have to worry about this. I know what's going on! You, just put your mind at ease!"
After that, she rolled over, rolled up the quilt, and wrapped herself up like a cicada pupa. She closed her eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep. You guys should go to sleep too. We'll be busy tomorrow!"
