Atuo Qingye had always admired the culture of the Daye Dynasty, and naturally he had also dabbled in chess. He even hired a tutor, and he believed that he had some talent in chess, learning faster than his brothers. He was quite proud of this.
But now they have been slaughtered without a single survivor.
Gu Linchao showed him what true chess skill really meant.
Moreover, he had a feeling that Gu Linchao was somewhat murderous today.
The chess pieces on the board seemed to have transformed into a vast army, trapping him within them, unable to struggle, with no way forward.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he looked as if he was about to collapse.
It took him a long time to come to his senses. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb. I admire you to the point of prostration."
"Prince Atuo is too kind," Gu Linchao said calmly, picking up the chess piece and putting it back in the chess box. "Would the prince like to play another game?"
Atuo Qingye dared not play chess with him any longer and quickly shook his head, "No, the Regent's chess skills are beyond my reach. If we play again, the result will be the same. I suddenly feel a little unwell and want to go back to the inn to rest."
Gu Linchao nodded. "In that case, I will see you off."
Atuoqingye waved his hand, "No need, no need. The Regent is busy with state affairs, so he should focus on them. I know the way, I can go back by myself."
"Then Prince Atuo, please take care. I won't see you off." Gu Linchao said in a calm voice.
A Tuoqingye only felt alive again after leaving the study.
Sure enough, the cold-faced war god of Daye was not called that for nothing.
He raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
...
Atuo Jianghua was visiting Daye for the first time and found everything novel and interesting.
Wen Nong Nong patiently stayed by her side, carefully explaining things she didn't understand.
Before long, their arms were covered with bags and packages.
Wen Nong Nong's eyes darted around, and she turned around and slung the large and small bags over Si Yi's shoulders.
Si Yi's face was somewhat dark.
Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly, "It was your prince who sent you to follow me, so helping me carry some things isn't a big deal, is it?"
Si Yi pursed her lips in resignation.
"Nongnong, what is that bright red, round thing?" A-Tuo Jianghua's curious voice rang out again.
Wen Nongnong looked in the direction she was pointing, no longer wanting to criticize her, "That's candied hawthorn, you haven't seen it before, have you?"
"No, we don't have anything like that on our grasslands. We only have dried meat, mare's milk wine, and wine," Atuo Jianghua said, swallowing hard. "Are candied hawthorns delicious?"
"That's something for kids to eat," Wen Nongnong said, but she still went over and bought two skewers.
One bunch of ginger flowers was handed to Atuo, and another bunch was handed to Siyi.
A-Tuo Jiang Hua happily accepted the ginger flower and started eating, while Si Yi coldly turned his face away.
I already said it's something for kids to eat, why did I still hand it to him? What does that mean?
"Little Si Yi, are you really not going to eat?" Wen Nong Nong looked at him with a smile.
"I'm not eating," Si Yi said, and walked straight ahead.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong didn't force him and took a bite of a candied hawthorn herself.
Afterwards, Atuo Jianghua wanted to go shopping at a clothing store, but Wen Nongnong stopped her.
It was getting dark, and her legs were tired from walking; she really didn't want to walk anymore.
"If you like our Daye clothing, you don't need to go shopping. Just come to the manor tomorrow, and I'll give you a set." Anyway, her wardrobe is full of new clothes.
Atuo Jianghua looked at the dress she was wearing and thought it was absolutely beautiful, so she readily agreed, "Alright then. Do you like our Hui-Xin clothing? If you do, I'll bring you a new set tomorrow."
Wen Nongnong's eyes lit up when she saw the exotic ethnic costume she was wearing, and she nodded, "Okay."
