The casual look of Prince Chen made Emperor Longwu frown subconsciously, but he just moved the corners of his mouth slightly without saying anything.
Then, he ordered Liu Zhongyi to bring the chessboard over.
The material of the chessboard is very good, and it looks like top-grade mutton-fat white jade.
"Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
As Prince Chen spoke, he reached out to take the chess box from Liu Zhongyi's hand and took out a black piece from it.
"How about we follow the old rules and let me go first?"
After saying this, he raised his hand and dropped it without caring whether the old emperor agreed or not.
Emperor Longwu glanced at the chessboard, and then at Prince Chen.
This guy really refuses to take any loss.
Knowing that he was the emperor, he still let himself make the first move, which was clearly a challenge to his authority.
But he also knew that this was not the time to worry about these trivial matters.
So, he touched his chin, picked up a white piece and dropped it.
In less than an incense stick of time, the chessboard was almost full, and the game entered a stalemate.
The old emperor didn't say a word, but just stared at the chessboard with a solemn and serious look on his face.
After a long while, he placed a piece and laughed out loud, "Haha! Prince Chen, it looks like you're going to lose this round!"
Mo Sichen smiled calmly, "That's hard to say. How do you know I will lose? What if I can survive this desperate situation?"
The old emperor looked at the favorable situation on the chessboard and slapped his thigh proudly, "Okay, I'll see what tricks you have. Show them all!"
Mo Sichen was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, he propped up his head and looked at the empty teacup beside him. Then, he said calmly, "No hurry. Your Majesty, could you allow me to think about this for a moment?"
The old emperor: "I agree!"
He is sure to win this round.
No matter how powerful Mo Sichen is, he cannot escape his control, right?
Let alone him thinking about it for a moment longer, it wouldn't matter.
So when the old emperor heard what Mo Sichen said, he agreed without any concern.
But Mo Sichen's next words made him feel a surge of anger in his heart, but seeing Prince Chen's calm look, he didn't know how to vent it.
"You said you wanted Concubine Shu to pour you tea?"
He repeated it again, as if unsure.
Mo Sichen smiled and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, you heard it right."
The old emperor took a deep breath. Although he tried very hard to suppress his urge to hit someone, he still couldn't help but grit his teeth and asked, "Why did you ask her to pour tea? Do you think that my concubine is a palace maid to be ordered around at will?"
Emperor Longwu's voice had grown cold, with a hint of anger in his tone.
As if he had anticipated this reaction, Mo Sichen shrugged innocently. "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have no intention of offending the Imperial Concubine. It's just that there are only the Emperor, me, and the Imperial Concubine in this carriage, and the teapot happens to be with the Imperial Concubine. The sleeves of the dress I'm wearing today are quite large, and if I stand up rashly, I'm afraid I'll ruin the chess game. Besides..."
Having said that, he paused, glanced at Shen Wangshu who was quietly eating melon on the side, and smiled brightly.
"Besides, everyone knows that Imperial Concubine Shu is virtuous and kind. I'm sure Her Majesty will not refuse me such a simple favor."
Shen Wangshu: “…”
Not only does he enjoy it, but he's also very courageous.
How dare he let her, the emperor's woman, pour tea for him in front of the emperor?
"Your Highness really knows how to enjoy life. Since Your Highness has said so, how can I refuse?"
Shen Wangshu said this with a forced smile, then stood up, picked up the teapot and moved over.
"Your Majesty, please drink."
Shen Wangshu looked calm, as if nothing had just happened.
After pouring the tea, he turned around and added more tea for Emperor Longwu.
Smiling gently, "Your Majesty, please have a drink too."
Originally, the old emperor was unhappy when he heard Mo Sichen ask Chen Wangshu to pour him tea, but when he saw Chen Wangshu smiling sweetly at him just now, he felt much more at ease.
Never mind, it’s just a cup of tea. Let him be arrogant for a few more days. After a while, he won’t be able to jump around anymore.
And when Mo Sichen saw Shen Wangshu like this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.
This woman never gave him a good look when she saw him today.
The most important thing is that she smiles so happily at other men in front of him.
Wait until we get to the other palace and see how he deals with her.
Shen Wangshu didn't want to show how close she was to Mo Sichen, but this guy's gaze was too intense, so she had no choice but to turn around and exchange a few words with him.
"Why isn't your Highness drinking? Do you think the tea I poured is not to your taste?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am very content."
Mo Sichen curled his lips into a smile, picked up the cup and drank the tea.
Then he put down the teacup and leaned against the car wall in a lazy manner, holding a black piece in one hand and began to knock it occasionally.
"Prince Chen, have you not made up your mind yet?"
The old emperor seemed to be getting impatient. He played with his teacup and said slowly, "If you really can't think of a trick, you can admit defeat. After all, it's not a disgrace to lose to me..."
"I have thought it over."
However, Mo Sichen did not give him the chance to continue speaking. After he finished speaking, he threw the chess piece in his hand to an inconspicuous place.
With a "click", a black particle fell exactly on that position.
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your submission."
The old emperor looked at the absolute advantage that the black pieces had on the chessboard, and his expression kept changing.
After a while, the hands hanging in the sleeves tightened and tightened, and then slowly loosened.
"Haha, Prince Chen is indeed quite capable. I lost this round."
"No, no, I'm just lucky." Mo Sichen smiled and said modestly.
However, the old emperor didn't think so.
Normally, he didn't show mercy when they played chess, but this time he teased him in front of the concubines.
It seems that this person is destined not to stay.
…
Just as the carriage was settling into an awkward atmosphere, it suddenly jolted violently.
Shen Wangshu didn't sit firmly, and he cried out softly, then he rushed forward.
Mo Sichen subconsciously stretched out his hand and instinctively reached out to help.
But he suddenly reacted while his hand was in the air, and then crossed his hands to protect his chest with lightning speed.
Then, a dramatic scene happened.
Shen Wangshu pressed Mo Sichen against the wall like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, his two slender arms holding Mo Sichen in his arms.
Mo Sichen himself was looking at the person in front of him with a look of horror. The way he crossed his arms to protect his chest was enough to show how pitiful, weak and helpless he was at this moment.
