I have to do a task today too

Chapter 170 The Cultivation of a Concubine 23
After dinner, Su Ran still inherited the bad habit of the original owner, leaning against the bedside to read a book, under the dim light, the dim yellow paper, like a master's meticulously carved profile, the shadow lines printed on the window It's all eye-catching.

Qi Yan actually arrived as promised, he looked out of the window twice, Gao Heng urged, and then entered the room.

When the man came in, he was still cold, so he took off his cloak and dried his hands by the stove until his whole body was warmed before he pulled Suran's hand.

"Why lie on the bed and read a book?" He asked curiously, without any other meaning, she is not from Qi country, even if she has some habits different, he would not blame her on this point.

"The concubine is a bit lazy." Su Ran smiled a little embarrassedly, "Since the majesty is here, the concubine will not read it."

"It's okay, just look at it, what are you looking at?"

"Fact book, tell a love story between a poor scholar and a rich girl, hee hee."

"Look." Qi Yan lost interest when he heard the words huabenzi, and as expected, he looked away without interest after hearing her continue talking.

But there was an inexplicable resentment in her heart, would she rather read this kind of script without asking what she wanted to do?

"What is this?" Turning his eyes, he saw the unfinished chess game on the couch not far away.

It was a little far away, and he couldn't see the situation clearly, so Qi Yan was going to walk over.

"The concubine played chess with me when she was free yesterday, but she didn't know how to play it, so she put it somewhere." Su Ran was a little shy, "The concubine knows that your majesty is very good at chess, so I must see it. The concubine's game is not good, alas, Your Majesty should not read it." As he said that, he wanted to stop him from going forward to watch the chess game.

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, looked back at her, his eyes suddenly became complicated, but he didn't say anything, just went forward.

Heizi and Baizi seemed to be in a stalemate, and no one could go any further, so they had to freeze in place. Su Ran left it alone, probably because he wanted to find a solution before withdrawing.

"Come here." Qi Yan called Su Ran not long after he sat down.

Her mind is now full of the current sizzle of the 404 database, which is analyzing Qi Yan's possible mental activities now, because the look in the eyes just now was very meaningful, and 404 didn't understand, so she had to use a cheating device.

"Why do you want to play against yourself?" Qi Yan said this while staring at the chess game.

"Because the empress wants to look at the accounts, she doesn't have time to play with the concubine, and neither can Qianyun and Baijin, so." Su Ran suddenly thought of something in the middle of speaking, and immediately defended herself, "The concubine didn't pester her all the time. The empress played with the concubine, and the concubine only suggested this game of chess when the empress had time, and the empress agreed."

In the middle of speaking, she stopped by herself, because Qi Yan laughed.

"What are you laughing at, Your Majesty?"

"That's it?"

"That's it." Su Ran was wrapped in a small blanket, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

"What are you afraid of? I won't blame you." Qi Yan stretched out his hand, gently pinched her chin, and lifted her face.

The small and delicate facial features were still pale, but when she blinked, she was full of agility in an instant, and suddenly the lights in the room lost their brightness.

"Come on, let me help you see how to solve this situation." Qi Yan quickly looked away, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it all by himself, and if it spread out tomorrow morning, everyone would call him worse than a beast.

The two stared at the chessboard, Su Ran saw that he hadn't responded, asked 404, and felt that it was time to show his true strength.

"His Majesty."

"I"

The two actually spoke at the same time.

"Your Majesty, please speak first." Su Ran looked at him.

"It's better to say it, I will listen to your thoughts first."

"The concubine thinks that this is a dead end. If there is no way out, how about the concubine accompany His Majesty to another round?" Her eyes were full of smiles and cunning.

"Are you sure you're the one accompanying me?" Qi Yan glanced at her with a half-smile, and he would really say that he obviously wanted to play.

After clearing up the mess, Su Ran happily picked up a white piece: "Your Majesty, the concubine first?"

Before he could respond, he was the first to land the chess piece on the chessboard with a crisp sound.

Qi Yan didn't mind, and picked up a sunspot lightly: "I won't let you, you should be more serious."

Su Ran sneered in her heart, just kidding, she has the bug 404, so she is afraid that she won't win you?It's just that there is still some disbelief on the surface, and then it turns into pretending to be strong: "The concubine will go all out!"

Of course, the first game ended with Su Ran losing, but Su Ran was not discouraged at all. She grabbed Qi Yan's sleeve and refused to let go: "Your Majesty, let's play again, just one game!"

Qi Yan expected such a result. Of course he knew his own level. The former chess master praised himself as a good seed for chess, but it is a pity that he came to be the emperor.

However, during the game just now, he didn't feel that Su Ran was much worse than himself, at least in terms of the overall situation and details, he was even more thoughtful than himself, so in fact, he really wanted to play another game. of.

However, the emperor's pride naturally did not allow him to make a plea. Seeing that Su Ran made such a sincere request, he still had to pretend to be reluctant.

This is really a strange woman, he has never met a woman who can play chess like him, or maybe she is better than him in chess, in order to deliberately lose to him?

Then he can't take it lightly.

"Okay, just one game."

Su Ran was happy when she got the response, she took the initiative to clean up the chessboard and made a gesture of please.

Qi Yan was not polite, and dropped a son.

This game of chess has been played for a long time, Qian Yun and Gao Heng at the door looked at each other in blank dismay, it was already at this point, why are the two masters still not asleep?

Although tomorrow is rest and mu, but you can't sleep?
Qian Yun then took the opportunity to change tea, and saw that the two of them were looking at the same chessboard with the same posture and frowning, a little inexplicable.

After leaving the room and talking to Gao Heng, he immediately expressed his understanding.

It's probably due to meeting opponents in chess, and His Majesty is just such a hobby, playing chess, and those who can play chess well are generally looked at by His Majesty, let alone being on par with his level.

It seems that I didn't sleep well tonight, Gao Heng sighed inwardly.

"Your lady is good at chess." Gao Heng complained.

"I don't know either. It always depends on the empress and herself. We slaves don't know."

Well, to be able to play like this, there is no doubt that he is a master, Gao Heng once again sighed for his lost sleep.
