After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

In the next two days, there will be two competitions every day, three games each time.

Chu Qinghuang never won again.

After Fucang won three games in the morning, he apologized as usual. After making sure that Chu Qinghuang was not angry, he silently turned around and entered Xinuang Pavilion, and brought a set of chess equipment. The black and white chess pieces that felt warm in the tentacles were from Nuan Yu It was taken from the Hong family's warehouse during the last house raid.

Chu Qinghuang had worked hard and had no interest in those gold and silver mundane things. She was not short of silver anyway, so she kept this chess set.

Although the original owner was powerful in martial arts, he was not good at chess and had little interest in romance. Therefore, there were almost no chess sets, pianos and flutes in the eldest princess's house to pass the time.

After Chu Qinghuang ransacked his house, he left behind a set of chess sets and an ebony piano.

At this time, this set of chess equipment really came in handy.

Seeing Fucang placing the chessboard on the low couch in front of the window, Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment, walked over and sat down, and said calmly: "Do you really want to learn?"

Fu Cang nodded: "Yes."

"As a master, I will be stricter." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "If you don't learn well, you may be beaten."

Fucang pursed her thin lips lightly and said nothing.

"But don't worry, I won't use the whip on you." Chu Qinghuang knew that the whip was his shadow. Moreover, the long whip was a weapon to her. It was used to deal with others, and she would not punish her own people. "Slightly Then you go outside and find a cane to use as your home rule."

Rattan?

Fu Cang was silent for a moment: "The cane is not very strong, so it won't hurt if it hits someone."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "You have the final say whether it hurts or not?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Chu Qinghuang motioned for him to sit down and placed the black chess box in front of him: "You go first with black."

Fu Cang lowered his eyebrows, took out a black stone from the chess box, and dropped it onto the chess board.

Chu Qinghuang then followed up with a white piece and had a brief conversation with Fucang while placing the piece. Fucang was indeed not very good at playing chess, but this was not surprising.

The Shadow Guards of the Dark Pavilion have learned killing techniques since they were young, and most of their martial arts are so powerful that they are difficult to guard against. Whether it is protecting the master or performing assassination tasks, they rarely fail. In other aspects, they can only learn the ability to test poisons and identify poisons.

As for playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, those are talents that only the nobles have the leisure to display.

Chu Qinghuang was not surprised that Fucang was not good at it.

She would teach as much as she had time, it would be beneficial and harmless anyway.

The evening time passed little by little in the completely unequal game between the two. When it got dark, it finally started to rain continuously outside, which took away a little bit of the heat and made the air feel a little cooler.

Aunt Wu came to report: "Your Highness, Concubine Duan, please come into the palace."

Chu Qinghuang's eyes fell on the chessboard, and his voice was calm: "It's so late, why are you going to the palace?"

"Mother Zhao from Ganquan Palace said that Concubine Duan has not had dinner with His Highness for a long time, and she wants His Highness to come into the palace so that mother and daughter can talk."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows, talking between mother and daughter?

The last time they met, he had a tough tone and wanted her to marry Ling Jing, but now he was taking the tender approach of mother and daughter?

With slightly deep eyebrows, Chu Qinghuang nodded casually: "Let Aunt Zhao wait first, I will go after finishing this dish."

Aunt Wu hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, is this okay?"

Although a nanny is insignificant, Aunt Zhao represents Concubine Duan. The mother invites her, but the daughter puts on airs, which seems a bit unjustifiable.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "You don't have to be afraid of her. If she dares to lose her temper, you can slap her."

ah?

Aunt Wu's expression tightened. Her Royal Highness the Princess could whip someone at any time, but she didn't dare. She was just a nanny. As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the master. So the master behind Aunt Zhao is the one who has received the favor of the Holy Spirit. The concubine...

Chu Qinghuang's eyes turned slightly: "Hongyu is in the backyard?"

"Here I am."

Chu Qinghuang ordered: "Let him entertain Nanny Zhao."

Ah this...

Aunt Wu's expression was even weirder. Concubine Duan intended for the princess to marry a nephew of the Ling family, but Her Royal Highness the Princess asked her attendant to entertain Aunt Zhao?

Are you sure that Your Highness did not deliberately cause trouble for Concubine Duan?

Nanny Wu murmured in her heart, but she did not dare to question her master's words again and again. She respectfully agreed and turned around to go to the backyard.

"Fucang." Chu Qinghuang took a piece and put it on the chessboard, and said in a calm voice, "Do you know why I asked Hong Yu to entertain Aunt Zhao?"

Fucang thought for a moment: "I don't know."

"When playing chess, you must be attentive, focused, and calm." Chu Qinghuang dropped a white piece onto the chessboard with a calm tone. "If you have an impetuous mind and are overjoyed or angry, the result will only be a disastrous defeat."

Fucang didn't know whether he understood what she wanted to express, so he nodded obediently: "Yes."

"The same goes for other things. If it can be solved with force, you can use force to solve it. If it is not convenient to use force to solve it for the time being, you have to use your brain to think about it." Chu Qinghuang raised her eyes and looked at him, "Concubine Duan 20 She has been favored for many years. Although she is not the queen of the palace, the power behind her is no less than that of the queen. We cannot use force to deal with the Ling family for the time being. "

Fu Cang nodded: "Yes."

"However, even if we don't use force, I don't have the temperament to swallow my anger. If Concubine Duan makes me unhappy, I don't mind causing trouble for her." Chu Qinghuang's eyebrows were slightly cold, "She can tolerate it once or twice, but she can tolerate it three times or four times. You can force yourself to endure it, and after a while, she will no longer be able to control her emotions. "

As if something clicked in his mind, Fucang suddenly realized: "I understand."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "What do you understand?"

"Concubine Duan is being favored, and it is not convenient for the master to confront her head-on for the time being." Fucang said, "So let her lose control of her emotions and lose her composure first."

Going against one's own mother, even if you win in the end, will be talked about and even lead to some bad consequences - no one will care who is right and who is wrong between mother and daughter, and no one cares how Concubine Duan treats her. Daughter, as long as the mother and daughter are hostile, the world will definitely criticize the "unfilial daughter".

Besides, the Ling family holds military power, and only a fool would break up with them until they have the military power in their own hands.

But even if you don't break up with them for the time being, it doesn't mean you have to tolerate their unreasonable troubles. It's okay to cause trouble for them. After all, Chu Qinghuang's temper is recognized as "ignorant", and some minor rudeness can be punished. tolerate.

Once a person loses control of his emotions, he is prone to do irrational things - especially concubines in the palace.

The queen and concubines are always by the emperor's side, and they are in the center of power. They make too many mistakes, and even the most favored concubines will gradually lose the emperor's favor.

A daughter could not confront her mother directly, but the emperor wanted to deal with his concubine, but no one dared to express dissatisfaction.

This is what people often call strategy.

Fucang came to the conclusion in his heart that his highness was a smart and strategic woman, skilled in both civil and military affairs, and had a strong heart. She was much more powerful than many men in the world.

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyes slightly, looking at Fucang with an increasingly subtle expression.

The little shadow guard seemed to admire her.

After a moment of silence, she didn't mind letting him admire him even more: "Although doing it yourself is very fulfilling, killing with a borrowed knife is also a common tactic that people use. Whether it is in the harem or on the battlefield, this tactic is always feasible."

Fucang nodded, the master was indeed well versed in the art of intrigue.

Chu Qinghuang couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She found that mind reading was a very interesting power. The rich psychological thoughts of the little shadow guard could make her feel good.
