The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.
Chapter 419 Why is it not a favorable wind?
Cen Yuan didn't know that Emperor Mingde would conduct additional tests this year.
Because he was the martial arts instructor of Yunqi Academy, Emperor Mingde was on guard against him and kept everything under wraps, not letting any secrets leak out.
But when Cen Yuan was giving the lecture, he thought that these people would all be military generals leading troops on marches in the future, so he did not teach for the purpose of examination. Instead, he went through the geographical knowledge of the northern wing and commonly used military strategies in a comprehensive and detailed manner from a practical perspective several times.
As for simulated combat, it was even simpler. In his previous life, when he was at the border, he faced the sand table the most.
He probably has more sand table topographic maps in his mind than the Ministry of War.
Especially in the Lubei area, he had conducted in-depth research on the terrain and environment, otherwise he would not have been able to fight the most beautiful battle in the north wing where the outnumbered side won.
The candidates entered the examination room, and Cen Yuan was waiting outside.
Eunuch Qi came hurriedly, "Sir, the Emperor invites you."
Cen Yuan got up and followed Eunuch Qi to the Talented Scholars Building in the Imperial Examination Hall, where she saw Emperor Mingde sitting leisurely by the railing drinking tea with a chessboard in front of him.
He paid his respects to Emperor Mingde and then stood aside in a proper manner.
Emperor Mingde dismissed the others, pointed to the seat opposite him, and said with a smile, "Sit down."
Cen Yuan sat down as he was told.
Emperor Mingde was in a very good mood, and his voice became cheerful, "I am not used to you being so abiding by the rules."
Cen Yuan replied calmly, "Since I am the son-in-law of the Northern Wing, I should follow the local customs. Father, is that right?"
Emperor Mingde laughed loudly, "Great! Great! Marry into the Northern Wing, my good son-in-law! The weather is very good today, how about... playing a game?"
When Cen Yuan heard that he did not use the word "hand talk", he knew that the other party wanted to chat while playing chess, so he reached out and took the white piece to show respect first.
In the north wing, the white pieces are humble, representing the common people, while the black pieces are noble, representing the dignitaries.
Letting the common people go first was a way for the nobles in the northern wing to show off their status and generosity. He took the initiative to make the first move, which also showed his respect for Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde picked up the black piece and placed it on the plate, "Show your strength, don't be restrained just because you are me."
Cen Yuan lowered his eyebrows and calmly made his move, "If my son-in-law accidentally beats my father, wouldn't that be an offense?"
"Hmm?" Emperor Mingde smiled and shook his head, "You underestimate my magnanimity. Besides, I have never lost since I was a child, so beating you is a piece of cake."
Cen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "That may not be the case. Everything has a beginning. Father, please be more serious."
Emperor Mingde laughed twice again. He liked his son-in-law's neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
As they talked, the two of them moved their black and white pieces back and forth.
Cen Yuan made another move, raised his head and smiled, "Father caught me off guard and gave me an extra test. Was he testing me as a candidate? Or was he testing me as a teacher?"
Emperor Mingde's little trick was exposed, but he was not angry. He dropped the black piece next to a white piece and said, "As a teacher, shouldn't you teach students everything? Are you just reading from the book and teaching them to memorize by heart?"
Cen Yuan raised her eyes to look at the delighted Emperor Mingde, and lightly placed a piece, "So, Father, not only must you defeat me on the chessboard today, but you must also defeat me in the examination room?"
Emperor Mingde raised his eyes and looked at Cen Yuan, "That depends on whether you and your students can turn the tide."
He proudly placed a black piece, and the whole chess game became turbulent and the white pieces had a hard time making any move.
"Then..." Cen Yuan lowered her eyes calmly, holding the white piece with her slender and beautiful fingers, suspending it in the air, "Why do you know it's not a favorable wind?"
After he finished speaking, he pushed the white piece so that it fell between the black pieces.
Emperor Mingde's smile froze on his face as he saw the chess game, which was under his control just a moment ago, become completely different.
I don't know how long it took, but he finally placed another black piece.
As if afraid that the emperor would regret his move, Cen Yuan swiftly took down another piece, and like a sharp knife out of its sheath, he cut the black pieces on both sides in half.
Emperor Mingde's expression changed slightly, and after a while he exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Little Yuanyuan, you are such a talent!"
The originally calm Cen Yuan was completely broken by the word "little Yuan Yuan". She clenched her fist and put it to her mouth and coughed lightly, "Can we not be so upset?"
Emperor Mingde stretched out his hand and punched Cen Yuan on the chest, "Hahaha! Good boy!"
After a few rounds, Emperor Mingde lost and was powerless to recover. "Strange! This is the first time I have lost a game of chess! Even the last time I lost to the late emperor, I lost on purpose."
Cen Yuan leaned back and said sternly, "Let me make it clear that you are not allowed to ask Eunuch Qi to summon me to the palace to play chess with you."
Emperor Mingde: “!!!”
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You are summoned to the palace to play chess with me. Isn't that your honor? How many officials dream of this opportunity, but you despise it so much?
As if she had seen through his thoughts, Cen Yuan smiled, with tiny ripples in her eyes, "I want to accompany my wife, don't disturb me."
Emperor Mingde was so angry that he fell backwards. "Accompany my wife! How much of your time can I waste?"
Cen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "You can also accompany your wife, you have so many women in your harem."
Emperor Mingde: “…”
If you don't agree with me, you'll have to say half a sentence. There's another half sentence like this, "I can go to your room in disguise and play chess."
"Are you sure you are not going to see my mother-in-law?" Cen Yuan tried her best to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't help it. It turned out to be so fun to watch the emperor get humiliated.
Emperor Mingde's ears turned red, and he cleared his throat and said, "You little idiot, I just want to play chess."
"In any case, don't set your sights on my mother-in-law, otherwise my little girl will have to be on guard against thieves." Cen Yuan stretched out his hand and collected the white pieces one by one.
Emperor Mingde looked at the arrogant black pieces all over the chessboard, sighed, and said sullenly, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you."
He recalled that day when Shi Anxia was afraid that he would stay for dinner, so she sent him back to the palace as if he were a dog being chased away. He then understood the girl's position.
She would never allow her innocent mother to live a life of fear and terror, and of course, he would not let the woman he loved fall into such a situation.
Some people should just be kept in mind. This was not the first time he had said this to himself.
Every time, it seems like a determination and a warning to myself.
Cen Yuan then raised her head and explained calmly, "My mother-in-law died very early and had a very hard life. When she was young, she was schemed against by her stepmother, and later when she married into the Marquis's mansion, she was schemed against by her mother-in-law and concubines. Her son died, her daughter was lost, and she was depressed all her life and died very early."
Emperor Mingde's pupils trembled violently, knowing that the other party was talking about the little girl's dream, and even more so the past life they had experienced.
It turns out that she also died young.
He felt indescribably depressed and sad.
Cen Yuan's eyes were firm, and her voice was filled with emotion. "So the little girl wants her mother to be happier, and she also wants you to... live longer. This way, Beiyi will be good, and everyone will be good."
Emperor Mingde's heart was filled with tears.
This is why he likes to stay with Cen Yuan.
This boy is very sincere. Even if the person is a former emperor of another country, even if he is terrifyingly powerful, he is willing to trust him wholeheartedly.
He said calmly, "I know, you don't have to worry." Then he resumed his provocation, "Then how many questions do you think your students can answer correctly?"
