play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Empress Dowager Guo motioned Qin Shu to sit down. Soon, he caught the doubt on Qin Shu's face. Her face was kind and unhurried, and she said with a smile: "The emperor is a biological child of the Ai family. Mother and son are of the same mind. This son is of the same mind." I think every mother knows that you are very good, worthy of the emperor's love, and worthy of the emperor doing that for you."

After the words were settled, Queen Mother Guo smiled lightly and said: "Having said that, you are a smart person. I guess the Aijia said that you are more blessed than the Aijia. There is no need for the Aijia to elaborate on the details. You should understand it. Bar?"

After Qin Shu listened, her mind was spinning rapidly. Maybe the Queen Mother Guo didn't know what she was hiding, and Xuanyuan Che didn't tell the Queen Mother Guo, but how could the Queen Mother Guo not know about Xuanyuan Che's actions towards the harem? Che's thoughts on her must have been revealed to Queen Mother Guo, Xuanyuan Che's mother.

She replied seriously: "I understand what the Queen Mother said."

Empress Dowager Guo smiled and said: "It's good to understand. It's rare for the emperor to treat you with kindness. Although the decree to let you enter the palace is a bit unexpected, it is rare in the world, especially in this deep palace. The Ai family believes that you will better."

Qin Shu couldn't go on further. The current relationship between her and Xuanyuan Che was developing pretty well, but the word 'better' would take more time to be verified. .

At first, she thought it was a bit sudden that the Queen Mother wanted to summon her, but ended up talking to her like this. But having said that, it was interesting that the Queen Mother didn't mind Xuanyuan Che's behavior.

Seeing this, Queen Mother Guo turned around and said, "Let's not talk about this. Just take your time. I guess there is still a while before lunch time. Can you play a game of chess with the Ai family?"

After hearing what Empress Dowager Guo said, Qin Shu pulled away from her thoughts and shifted her gaze to the chessboard.

Obviously, when she saw the chess game in front of her, it should be some ancient chess scores. She said: "The Queen Mother has profound chess skills, which is beyond the reach of my concubine. It's good that the Queen Mother doesn't mind my concubine's mistakes."

Empress Dowager Guo said: "You don't have to be too modest. The daughter of Duke Ding is naturally smart. However, although playing chess does not take much effort, it is also very tiring. If you feel tired and uncomfortable, just tell the Ai family that you can play chess." Chess is just for entertainment, it’s not about competing in chess skills.”

Qin Shu stood up and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration."

Queen Mother Guo said: "You are weak, so you don't have to bow every time. There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to worry too much about the red tape. Do you remember what Ai Jia said?"

Qin Shu nodded, "Yes."

Then, Qin Shu picked out the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard and put them into the chess holder next to them. Then she pushed the black pieces in front of the Queen Mother Guo and said, "The Queen Mother, please go first."

Empress Dowager Guo smiled and said, "Then the Ai family will go first."

Qin Shu only agreed. She didn't know much about the Queen Mother Guo, but this person's attitude made her somewhat confused.

On the chessboard, black and white stones fall alternately.

In her previous life, Qin Shu was the top agent of the organization and participated in various missions under different circumstances. It can be said that she had to be as proficient as possible in all kinds of skills.

Besides, in this life, she used to be in Nanxiang City, and her father and brother would often play chess with her when they had nothing to do.

Therefore, she is not bad at chess skills. The Queen Mother Guo in front of her is obviously good at studying various ancient chess techniques, but she is good at winning with cleverness. Those techniques do not work for her.

Logically speaking, it should be over by the middle game, but her opponent was the Queen Mother, so she restrained herself. Instead, she inadvertently exposed her flaws, allowing her opponent to win in the end.

Qin Shu put the remaining chess pieces back into the chess holder and said, "The Queen Mother's chess moves are exquisite, and I admire you."

Queen Mother Guo glanced at the situation on the chessboard, with a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Why, are you afraid that if you win against the Aijia, the Aijia will be unhappy?"

The corner of Qin Shu's mouth twitched slightly. Her skill at hiding her flaws was very good. Logically speaking, it would be impossible to be discovered.

Queen Mother Guo said: "From the beginning to the end, there was no problem with every step. The Ai family can feel that your chess skills are better than the Ai family, but the final result is that you lost. It can be seen that you At which step, I deliberately missed the flaw and guided the Ai family to win the chess game step by step, but the Ai family didn't notice it yet."

Qin Shu admired her in her heart. Logically speaking, if her opponent won, she would win. But this person won, but he could infer from the chess game he won. It was her intention. Seeing this, she did not avoid it anymore. She stood up and said: A courtesy, "The Queen Mother is wise, but I am narrow-minded."

"It has nothing to do with this. You don't have to do this in the future." Queen Mother Guo looked at Qin Shu and said, "Also, you forgot what the Ai family just said to you before playing chess. Don't always bow."

Listening to these words, Qin Shu judged from Queen Mother Guo's expression that this person did not care because of that. Of course, she would not say any more and would just accept it.

At this time, Nanny Sun came over and said softly: "Your Majesty, lunch is ready in the small kitchen."

Empress Dowager Guo stood up, glanced at Qin Shu, and said, "The Ai family was thinking that when you were a child, you went to Nanxiang City with your parents and lived in the south for a long time. When you entered the palace, you must have missed the delicacies there, so they specially ordered you to do so. The people in the kitchen have prepared meals according to the taste of the South. Go and have a look, I just wonder if you like it?"

Qin Shu said: "It's all good. I'm not picky about food." She thought for a while and then added, "Because I'm weak, I have to pay more attention to my diet."

Queen Mother Guo said: "The Ai family has also taken this into consideration. They are all delicate dishes and will not be difficult to digest."

Qin Shu did not expect that Queen Mother Guo would be so considerate, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Queen Mother Guo: "Don't be alienated from the Ai family. The Ai family hopes that we are a real family. Do you understand what the Ai family means?"

Of course Qin Shu could think of what Empress Dowager Guo was referring to, just when she was about to answer.

A palace servant came in and called, "Queen Mother Qi, the Emperor is here."

Queen Mother Guo looked at Qin Shu, smiled at her, and said, "It seems that someone is very worried. They are afraid that the Ai family will embarrass you if they summon you alone."

Qin Shu was surprised that Queen Mother Guo actually used this to tease her? Without thinking, she blurted out, "The Queen Mother is serious. It is the most common thing for the Emperor to come to greet the Queen Mother and to have lunch with the Queen Mother. How could he be afraid that the Queen Mother would embarrass his concubine?"

At the same time, Xuanyuan Che had entered the palace.

Xuanyuan Che saluted Empress Dowager Guo respectfully, "Son, I wish to express my regards to the Empress Dowager."

Qin Shu also bowed to Xuanyuan Che, "I send my regards to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace."

"The emperor does not need to be polite." As the Queen Mother Guo spoke, she turned to Qin Shu and said, "What the Aijia said is wrong. Some people said they came to pay their respects to the Aijia, but after stepping into the palace of the Aijia, those eyes... I haven’t moved away from you since the beginning.”
