Chapter 185: Good Fortune
Xiao Xixi was able to sit upright at first, but soon she could no longer sit still.
She first moved her hands, then her legs, and finally she simply leaned her entire body on the edge of the table, as if she had no bones, and her whole body exuded a lazy, salted fish scent.
She supported her chin with her left hand and picked up a white piece with her right hand. Without thinking much, she just glanced casually at the chessboard and put the white piece down.
This is how she always plays chess. She never thinks about the impact this move will have on the subsequent situation, and relies entirely on her intuition.
When she played chess with her master and fellow disciples in the mountains before, she played chess in the same way, following her intuition.
All the tricks and techniques are nothing to her.
Although her unconventional way of playing chess cannot guarantee winning every game, it can always make her opponents exhausted.
So the master and fellow disciples didn't like to play chess with her.
The reason is simple: the experience is extremely bad!
The situation on the chessboard has entered a white-hot stage, and the next moment is the crucial moment to decide the outcome.
Even Nie Changping, who was watching the show, couldn't help but get nervous.
He stared at the chessboard without blinking, wanting to see who would win or lose in the end.
In the end, Luo Qinghan lost by one move.
Nie Changping was stunned.
He said in disbelief, "I never knew Xiao Liangdi's chess skills were so superb!"
Xiao Xixi chuckled: "Thank you."
Luo Qinghan had no expression on his face: "Come again."
At the beginning of the second round, Xiao Xixi was still in a lazy state, not using her brain at all, relying only on her intuition.
This time Luo Qinghan learned his lesson and no longer used common sense to predict what Xiao Xixi would do next.
He just followed the simplest way of thinking about chess and played the game the way it should be played.
Because he didn't need to think too much, he made his moves much faster than in the previous game.
He is fast, and Xiao Xixi is also fast.
Nie Changping saw the two of them placing chess pieces quickly, and the number of black and white pieces on the board increased rapidly.
After a while, Xiao Xixi lost.
Nie Changping was confused.
He hasn't even reacted yet, how come the game of chess is over?
Luo Qinghan said leisurely: "Thank you."
Xiao Xixi yawned: "Are you coming again?"
"Come again."
Baoqin and another palace maid stepped forward and helped them put the black and white chess pieces into two chess boxes respectively.
Nie Changping couldn't sit still any longer: "Your Highness, it's getting late. I should go back."
Luo Qinghan nodded slightly.
Nie Changping was about to say goodbye and leave when he heard Xiao Xixi say.
"I see from the young prince's face that he has good fortune today. You can go to the gambling house and try your luck, but remember to stop when you are ahead and don't be greedy."
Nie Changping was overjoyed. It happened that he hadn't been to the gambling house for a long time, so he could go and have some fun today.
He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "When I win money, I will buy you something delicious."
Hearing that there was something delicious, Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "What's delicious?"
"There is a Suxiangtang in Shengjing that specializes in making all kinds of pastries. It is said that this craftsmanship is passed down from ancestors, and the taste is quite good. I will bring you two boxes of desserts later."
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"
Nie Changping left happily.
Xiao Xixi's heart was filled with longing for Suxiangtang, and she was a little absent-minded while playing chess.
Soon she lost again.
Luo Qinghan, as the winner, did not feel happy.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Are you coming again?"
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "No more."
