The flute sound stopped, and everyone in the hall seemed to be still immersed in the fight just now.
“Pah pah pah——”
Feng Yi was the first person to come back to his senses, and his applause also brought the other court officials back to their senses.
In an instant, there was thunderous applause.
The winner and loser are already very clear.
The woman defending the ring didn't show any resentment on her face. She curled her lips towards Ayina and said, "You are so powerful. I accept defeat wholeheartedly."
Ayi Na raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of confidence: "Actually, you are not bad either!"
The defender was replaced by Aina.
Because her performance was so outstanding, she stood on the ring for a long time and no one dared to approach her.
The high priest's eyes swept across the faces of those women who were obviously thinking a lot, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
These ladies only have this much courage!
The little emperor was staring at Ayina with burning eyes.
If there weren't so many people around, he would definitely ask her about her relationship with Qu Li.
They look so similar!
"No one is going up to challenge?" Noticing the eager gazes of the court officials, the little emperor coughed lightly and asked in a calm voice.
The women did not respond.
It is obvious that Aina is a talented person. Just look at the flute piece she just played. Without several years of practice, it would be impossible to play it.
Moreover, her attainments in music are so superb, which shows that she is also good in other aspects.
If you go up at this time, you will definitely be embarrassed.
Just as the little emperor was about to announce the end of the competition, Changsun Lingyue stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I want to challenge you."
The little emperor frowned slightly.
He used to think that Changsun Lingyue was sensible, but why does he feel that she is so-so now?
Chang Sun Li had been paying close attention to the little emperor's expression. He clearly caught the displeasure deep in his eyes, and his heart sank.
Today, Ling Yue disobeyed the emperor's will from the very beginning, which made the little emperor unhappy.
Now, when the little emperor obviously intended to end this meaningless competition, she stood up again. It was really unwise.
The high priest glanced at the two men's faces with interest, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It would be best if Changsun Li took his anger out on the little emperor and became estranged from him!
Under the various gazes of the crowd, Changsun Lingyue walked slowly with her back straight, thinking of Aina.
"Ms. Aina, please give me your guidance."
Ayi Na looked at him with disdain: "It's not really about giving me advice."
"Ms. Aina is too modest." Changsun Lingyue smiled lightly, her voice gentle.
"You're wrong. What I meant is that between you and me, it's not a matter of instruction, but rather a one-sided crushing of strength!"
This is quite arrogant.
It was like a few loud slaps on Changsun Lingyue's face. For a moment, Changsun Lingyue's face was full of excitement.
She stared at Ayi Na in disbelief, "Ms. Ayi Na, it's better to be humble."
No matter how you look at her, she really looks like Qu Li, equally annoying!
Ayi Na raised her red lips. "My master said that humility is for those who are half-full and half-full, using it to cover their faces! If you are good enough, there is no need to hide it!"
"Hasn't Miss Ayi Na heard the saying, 'There are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you?'"
"Of course I've heard of it, but this person is not Miss Changsun!"
There was heated talk between the two, and the atmosphere was tense.
Changsun Lingyue was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She took several deep breaths and finally managed to suppress the rage burning in her chest.
"Then Miss Ayina, let's do it for real!"
Ayi Na's lips curled up. "I heard that Miss Changsun has been personally taught by Prime Minister Changsun since she was a child. Some people also say that Miss Changsun is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting!"
"Not really, I know a thing or two!"
"Then this time, I choose chess!" As soon as Aina finished speaking, a eunuch brought the chessboard over.
A hint of joy appeared between Changsun Lingyue's brows.
Her Go was taught by Changsun Wuji himself. Although she may not be able to beat Changsun Wuji, it should not be difficult for her to beat the arrogant Aina on the opposite side.
Aina skipped the guessing part and made a "please" gesture to Changsun Lingyue.
Chang Sun Lingyue naturally wouldn't agree, "Let's guess first!"
"Since Miss Changsun insists on this, if I continue to let her go first, it will definitely make her feel embarrassed."
This... is really too mean!
Changsun Lingyue stared at Aina and secretly adjusted her breathing.
In the end, Changsun Lingyue won the guess and played first with white.
What makes people speechless is that no matter where Changsun Lingyue places her black piece, Aina's black piece will be placed in the same position as hers.
Once or twice, it won’t make people think too much.
After repeating this several times, people realized that Aina was clearly teasing Changsun Lingyue.
Changsun Lingyue had been stabbed by Aina before the chess game and was feeling uneasy.
Such an action is undoubtedly rubbing her face underfoot.
Changsun Lingyue's breathing was disordered. "Ms. Ayi Na, do you know how to play chess?"
Ayi Na held her chin with one hand, looking lazy: "Of course."
"Then why did you deliberately imitate my chess moves?"
"Miss Changsun, what you said is a bit ridiculous! The chess moves are the same, so you are deliberately imitating?"
"Isn't it?" Changsun Lingyue's eyes were filled with anger. If her gaze could turn into substance, she could shoot Aina opposite her into a hedgehog.
"I just don't want Miss Changsun to lose too quickly. It's too embarrassing!"
"Don't humiliate me!"
"I never humiliate anyone!" Aina answered sincerely.
"you--"
Some people have already heard that Aina's words are clearly calling Changsun Lingyue a non-human.
Changsun Lingyue clenched her fists tightly, almost biting her teeth off.
"Ms. Changsun, I just like to speak the truth. Don't take it too seriously! If you take it seriously, doesn't it mean that you agree with what I said?"
Aina's smile was very bright, but it was also because of this smile that Changsun Lingyue wanted to crush her.
In order to avoid being laughed at, she patiently played a few more rounds.
Without exception, Aina was still imitating her chess moves. Whenever she raised her eyes filled with anger and looked at her, she always had a calm look on her face with her lips curled up, making it impossible for people to vent their anger.
"Ms. Ayi Na, how long are you going to continue like this?"
When Aina was about to make her move, Changsun Lingyue questioned her in a bad tone.
With a "clang" sound, Aina dropped a black particle. This time, she did not imitate Changsun Lingyue.
Changsun Lingyue moved her lips, calmed her mind, picked up a white piece and placed it down.
The two of them fought back and forth, and Changsun Lingyue was actually suppressed.
