Chapter 175 I have little education, so don’t lie to me!
Although Xiao Yufei is also a very smart woman, her talent in chess is far inferior to Xie Wanqing.
As long as Li Changsheng used his brain a little, she would be lost.
In this way, the two played ten games.
Xiao Yufei lost nine games in a row.
By the tenth game, Li Changsheng saw that Xiao Yufei was about to cry because of losing, and she looked so pitiful.
She deliberately let the opponent win, which allowed her to win the game by chance and avoid being shaved bald.
With Xiao Yufei's intelligence, how could she not see that this was something that "His Majesty" intended to let her do?
This touched her heart, and she smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, your chess skills are superb. I am ashamed to be inferior to you!"
Li Changsheng was very happy and said with a smile: "My dear, this is only your first day of learning. To have such a record is already very good."
"If it were Yuzhu, she would probably lose every time she fights!"
Yuzhu, who was serving nearby, was stunned when she heard His Majesty suddenly change the subject to herself.
Uh, you two were just playing chess, why did this involve me?
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice.
"Yes, that's right, I definitely lose every time I fight. I'm far inferior to the Queen!"
Concubine Xiao Yu glanced at Yuzhu and said with a somewhat resentful tone:
"Your Majesty, do you think that I can only compete with Yuzhu?"
Li Changsheng smiled and asked, "My dear, who do you want to compete with?"
Xiao Yufei fiddled with the chess piece in her hand and said quietly:
"Your Majesty, what was Xie Zhaoyi's winning rate when she first learned the Five Stars Linking Beads?"
Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "It's the same as ours, 19 to 10!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yufei's resentful eyes instantly brightened up.
"Really? I heard from the Queen Mother that Concubine Xie is quite proficient in chess. How come she's just like me?"
When she said this, she was a little smug and smiled.
However, the next moment, she stopped smiling.
"I said 19 to 1, she won nine games, and I won one by luck!"
Xiao Yufei: "..."
"Hmph, no more fun, Your Majesty only knows how to bully others!"
Li Changsheng looked at Xiao Yufei who was acting like a spoiled child. Her every move was so charming that his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"My beloved, I taught Consort Xie two games. You might not be as good as her at this Five Stars in a Row game."
"But in another game, even if ten of them were put together, they would definitely not be as good as you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yufei immediately became interested again and asked curiously, "Oh, what is the other game?"
Li Changsheng gently bit Xiao Yufei's earlobe, grinned and said, "Play poker!"
Xiao Yufei, like a curious baby with a strong thirst for knowledge, asked seriously, "Playing poker? What kind of game is that?"
Li Changsheng did not answer, but simply picked up Xiao Yufei by the waist in a princess hug and walked towards the phoenix couch.
"My dear, you will know in a moment!"
……
After two hours, Li Changsheng's poker class officially ended.
Xiao Yufei was sweating profusely, nestled in Li Changsheng's arms, panting and saying:
"Your Majesty, this is what you call playing poker. You're so mean, you only know how to bully others!"
Li Changsheng smiled mischievously and asked, "My beloved, do you like me bullying you like this?"
When Xiao Yufei heard this, her pretty face turned red again.
Her every frown and smile is truly charming.
Li Changsheng gently kissed Xiao Yufei's forehead, which was covered with beads of sweat.
"My dear, you know I just love bullying you like this!"
When Xiao Yufei heard this, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and she replied shyly.
"Since Your Majesty likes it, then I am willing to do this every day and be bullied by Your Majesty!"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the whole process of being "bullied" just now.
Suddenly, even the snow-white neck felt burning hot.
After a while, Xiao Yufei's eyes flickered again and she asked curiously:
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand. I don't know if I should tell you or not."
Li Changsheng deliberately put on a stern face and said, "My beloved, how can you be so polite in front of me? But you can speak freely!"
After receiving the nod, Xiao Yufei gathered her thoughts and asked:
"Your Majesty, you have been staying in the deep palace all this time. Where did you learn so many new things?"
Li Changsheng's cunning eyes swirled back and forth, and he said with a smile: "Of course it's in the book!"
Xiao Yufei was half-believing and half-doubting: "Did you learn it from a book?"
Li Changsheng nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's right. As the sage said: Books contain golden houses and beautiful women."
"My beloved concubine may not understand me yet. I am a solitary person with no hobbies or interests. I just like to read books of sages and listen to their teachings!"
Xiao Yufei: “???”
At this moment, her pretty face, which still had a blush, was filled with a classic line.
I have little education, so don’t lie to me!
Did the ancient sages teach you that playing poker is an immoral, evil and exciting game?
It seems that in all likelihood, they are reading banned books that are easy to harmonize.
Alas, it seems that His Majesty is not as busy as Leo said, with so many things to do every day and working day and night!
But she changed her mind.
Perhaps, His Majesty's temperament changed drastically because he read these not-so-serious banned books.
Change your past indifference towards yourself.
If you have to choose between the previous Majesty and the current Majesty.
She would definitely choose the latter.
After all, the previous Majesty couldn't even play such an exciting game as poker with her.
He was like a eunuch, not even touching her at all.
So much so that in the end, she even suspected that His Majesty was having an affair with someone else.
He also specifically asked Leo to go and secretly investigate the situation.
Thinking of the bitter experiences of the past three years, Xiao Yufei burst into laughter again.
In this regard, she did not intend to advise His Majesty to "read books written by virtuous people and stay away from banned books" or to work hard to govern the country.
On the contrary, he wants to "go along with the tide" with Your Majesty.
"Your Majesty, what book are you reading? Could you lend it to me?"
When Li Changsheng heard that Xiao Yufei actually offered to borrow a book, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He conjured up a scene in his mind.
He and Xiao Yufei were in bed together, reading those banned books.
When the emotions are deep, you may even be unable to resist imitating others.
Wouldn't it be more difficult to unlock the posture with half the effort?
Thinking of the excitement, the corners of Li Changsheng's mouth rose slightly, filled with an evil smile.
"My beloved, next time I come to Ganquan Palace, I will bring those sage books with me. Then we can study together and listen to the teachings of the sages!"
Seeing that "Your Majesty" was serious again, he described reading the banned books as reading the books of sages.
Xiao Yufei forced herself to hold back her laughter, as if she had heard someone say that he didn't like money.
It was obvious from her flushed cheeks that she was really feeling very uncomfortable.
Concubine Xiao Yu secretly glanced at "His Majesty" and found that he was staring at her.
The four eyes met.
She was completely defeated.
He burst out laughing on the spot, and his body shook with laughter, and tears came out.
Even spit out a snot bubble.
I felt that I had embarrassed myself in front of "His Majesty" and my image was completely ruined.
Xiao Yufei then forced herself to stop smiling and hurriedly tried to hide her embarrassment.
However, in Li Changsheng's eyes, this is the most genuine side of a girl, without any affectation.
Li Changsheng hugged Xiao Yufei tightly in his arms again.
The two of them whispered sweet nothings to each other.
Before we knew it, the sky in the east was already turning pale.
Seeing that the time of parting had come, Li Changsheng and Xiao Yufei agreed to meet again next time, and planned to return to the palace.
When she returned to Weiyang Palace, Empress Ying Yue was still awake and practicing diligently like an old monk in meditation.
The crazy momentum of internal competition is so intense that even Li Changsheng, the former 007 workplace animal, has to admit defeat.
Seeing Li Changsheng coming back, Ying Yue raised her eyelids and asked coldly:
"Little Li, did you comfort Empress Xiao during your visit to Ganquan Palace?"
Li Changsheng took off his disguise and clasped his fists in a salute: "I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission!"
"The Empress is so grateful to His Majesty that she even wants to send her niece, Xiao Ziyan, to the palace as well!"
Ying Yue frowned slightly and asked, "Could this Xiao Ziyan be the daughter of the Xiao family that you rescued?"
Li Changsheng said: "Yes, it's her!"
Ying Yue did not answer, but stared at Li Changsheng with cold eyes.
Even Li Changsheng, who was a thick-skinned man, felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake and felt terrified.
After a moment of dead silence, Ying Yue spoke again:
"Li Changsheng, do you know how to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Li Changsheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It seems that this empress is really hard to fool!
However, even though it was difficult to fool him, he still said:
"Your Majesty, this crime of deceiving the emperor deserves beheading and the extermination of all three clans!"
Ying Yue said coldly: "It's good that you know!"
Li Changsheng displayed his sincerity and said loudly, "I have always kept this in mind and am deeply loyal to Your Majesty. I have never forgotten it for a single day!"
When Ying Yue saw that bastard Li Changsheng was talking some high-sounding nonsense, her teeth started to chatter.
"You bastard, you're such a smooth talker! You talk better than you sing!"
"It's obviously you who is attracted by her beauty and wants to touch Xiao Ziyan, yet you even dare to use the Queen's words as a pretext."
"I think you're becoming more and more lawless. Don't think I won't kill you just because you're a little capable!"
After hearing this, Li Changsheng finally understood what made the empress so angry.
His mind raced as he quickly analyzed the current situation.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that the Empress was most likely deceiving me.
With this in mind, he resolutely raised his head and faced the empress's sharp and concentrated eyes.
"Every word I just said is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go ask the Empress in person!"
Li Changsheng was sure that he could defeat the empress, so he would not ask Empress Xiao Yufei.
As long as she doesn't ask in person.
There is not enough evidence to prove that you lied.
In this way, as long as your attitude is stronger and your tone is more sincere.
This is changing!
The Empress will naturally become weaker.
What's more, there are not many talented people available under the Empress' command.
When they meet a monstrous talent like him, they would like to treat him like a few oxen and horses, working him day and night.
How could he really blame himself at this critical moment?
as predicted!
The development of things was just as Li Changsheng expected.
Ying Yue's momentum gradually weakened with Li Changsheng's tough attitude.
She no longer held on to Li Changsheng, but was tempted by his beauty and wanted to take advantage of Xiao Ziyan's body.
Instead, he tacitly agreed with what Li Changsheng had just said, and continued to ask along the same topic:
"Since the Queen intended to allow her niece Xiao Ziyan to enter the palace, how did you respond to her? Did you agree right away?"
Li Changsheng shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not!"
"After all, I am only His Majesty's shadow, not the real His Majesty. How can I presumptuously make decisions for His Majesty?"
"Therefore, we have postponed it for a year on the pretext of being busy with court affairs!"
I heard that there is still one year left to mediate.
Ying Yue felt a little relieved and said calmly, "You did a good job. This matter really needs to be considered carefully."
"The most urgent thing is to find out. Was letting Xiao Ziyan into the palace a sudden decision of the Queen, or was it a long-planned plan by the General?"
Li Changsheng clasped his fists and bowed: "Yes, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly for Your Majesty!"
Ying Yue waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest!"
"promise!"
Li Changsheng bowed in response, then stood up and left Changle Palace.
Seeing this, Qingying, who had been silent all the time, also spoke up:
"Your Majesty, it's almost dawn, and you've been up all night again. Take a break and don't let yourself get sick!"
Although Ying Yue stayed up late to cultivate immortality, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
She picked up a chessboard from under her feet and called out to Qingying who was about to leave.
"Qingying, don't leave in such a hurry, let's play a game of chess."
"How about playing the five-star combo that bastard made?"
