Looking at Jiang Ranli with determination in his eyes, Yinzhen smiled helplessly. The next second, he pinched Jiang Ranli's cheek with his big hand and said with concern, "You don't have to be so serious when playing chess with the Emperor. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose."
Maybe I could have been careless in the past, but this time it’s about my life-saving talisman, I have to be serious!
After thinking about it, Jiang Ranli became more determined to continue studying the chess records. "I made a bet with the Emperor. If I win, he will give me a life-saving talisman. If I lose, I will obey any of his orders."
Originally, Jiang Ranli didn't want to tell Yinzhen about this, but then she thought, if she got the life-saving talisman, the news would definitely spread. Instead of letting Yinzhen hear about it from other people, it would be better for her to tell it directly herself, which could also avoid a lot of possible misunderstandings.
Jiang Ranli's words made Yin'er pause in stroking her head. He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms, his heart in turmoil.
After a pause, Yinzhen scratched Jiang Ranli's pretty nose and said in a low and magnetic voice, "You don't have to worry too much about those things. Your husband is here to take care of everything."
What he meant was that he knew why Jiang Ranli was trying so hard to play chess with Emperor Kangxi and why she was trying so hard to get the life-saving talisman, but he didn't want her to work too hard and didn't want her to worry about those things.
At the same time, a voice that had always existed in Yin'er's heart became clearer and louder.
At midnight, Yinzhen hugged the sleeping Jiang Ranli with his eyes full of worry. He thought about what had happened in recent years, the situation of the Eighth Prince, the current situation in the court, and Jiang Ranli's growing worry, and what she had been working hard to do over the years.
Is my future going to be miserable?
Thinking of this, Yinzhen turned to look at Jiang Ranli who was sleeping, his deep eyes full of worry.
The next day.
Jiang Ranli once again played chess against Emperor Kangxi, but after fighting desperately all the way, she still lost.
Looking at the messy chess pieces on the chessboard, Jiang Ranli was extremely depressed. She had originally thought that she would be able to win at least once, but the result was like this.
Sighing deeply, Jiang Ranli looked at Emperor Kangxi who looked quite happy, and said weakly, "Father, I lost again."
Emperor Kangxi frowned and said, "Well, you lost again."
"Yes, then I won't disturb Your Majesty from handling government affairs. If Your Majesty has any instructions, please summon me at any time. I'll go down first."
Having said that, Jiang Ranli stood up, bowed, then turned and walked out of the tent.
Li Dequan walked to Emperor Kangxi and replaced the cold tea for him, saying, "Your Majesty, your chess skills have improved again."
Hearing this, Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "It's not that my chess skills have improved, but that girl cares too much about winning or losing. She is bound to lose sight of the big picture and lose the small details."
In the past, Jiang Ranli had never cared so much about winning or losing, so today's situation would not have happened. He wanted to win too much and considered too many things, which was actually detrimental to the result.
"The concubine has never cared much about gains and losses. I don't know why she cares so much this time," Li Dequan was very puzzled.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the chessboard in front of him that had not been removed yet, and his stern eyes narrowed slightly, "That girl wants a life-saving talisman, why?"
Li Dequan was puzzled, and then guessed, "Although the concubine often acts unexpectedly, she also knows her limits. It should not be because she has done something wrong that she is asking Your Majesty for a life-saving talisman."
