The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Soon, all the daughters who dared to go on stage had performed in turn, and the rest were those who were already too shy to perform, and now seeing everyone else’s performance, they were even more afraid to go on and embarrass themselves.

Seeing those people's jealous yet regretful expressions for not practicing well on weekdays, Xie Zhichan couldn't help but sneer in her heart, why don't they feel that they are not good enough at this time? Didn't they despise her just now?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Princess Yongtai calling her name and said with a smile: "Does the Crown Prince's Consort have any talents to show? I see that the Crown Prince's Consort is quite interested in this."

Xie Zhichan was about to politely refuse, saying that she had no talent, when he heard the voice of the uninvited guest saying, "What talent does she have? She can only slap people."

Xie Zhichan looked around and saw that it was Pei Jingrou who was talking. Next to her was Lin, who was drinking tea leisurely and had no intention of stopping Pei Jingrou.

Pei Jingrou was sitting in the crowd, watching Xie Zhining, Huang Baoying, and He Ying making things difficult for Xie Zhichan. She didn't expect that none of them could defeat her, and her eldest brother was still protecting this woman.

Seeing her and Pei Yi chatting happily, he thought of the slap at Tingxueju and found it annoying. He couldn't hold it back any longer and couldn't help but come out to provoke Xie Zhichan.

After hearing this, Xie Zhichan felt it difficult to continue saying that she had no talents to show. She thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I see that all the daughters are very good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Unfortunately, I don't know any of these."

As soon as she finished speaking, many women present laughed.

Xie Zhichan didn't care at all, and continued: "But these things are hard enough for everyone to practice on weekdays. We have seen so much today, why not try something new and really relax."

Seeing her calm expression, as if there was something really interesting, everyone became curious again.

Someone even took the initiative to ask, "I wonder what the Crown Prince's Consort wants to play with us?"

Even Pei Yi looked up at Xie Zhichan who was standing beside him. He didn't know what tricks the little fox was going to play next. However, it was her who dug the hole for others to fall into after all.

Xie Zhichan glanced at everyone with an expression that said "the answer will be revealed soon", then turned around and gave Xiao Liu'er an instruction.

Xiao Liu'er turned around and left, but came back after a while with a square wooden box in her hand.

Xie Zhichan took the wooden box from Xiao Liu'er, held it in his hand, and said to everyone with a smile: "Let's play the River Map and Luo Shu."

She found a stone bench in the garden and sat down. She placed the wooden box on the stone table, opened the box, took out two wooden boxes from it, and pulled the boxes open. She saw a stack of white paper inside. On the top piece of paper, there were three nine-square grids drawn horizontally and vertically. There were three or four fewer numbers in each of the nine-square grids. There were also many small square chess pieces with numbers engraved on them in the box.

She took out a piece of question paper, lifted the square hollow pressure plate on the question tray, put the question paper down, pressed down the pressure plate, and put the other box in the same way. The question papers on the two question trays were exactly the same.

Xie Zhichan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said to everyone: "Today, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you can come up and challenge me to play the River Map and Luoshu. The easiest game is currently on the board. The winner stays and the loser leaves. If I win, a new challenger can come on stage. The challenger can choose the difficulty level of the question. Who will be the first one?"

When everyone heard that she didn't say what would happen if she lost, and her confident look made it seem as if everyone would definitely lose to her, they immediately became angry.

Huang Baoying mocked, "The Crown Prince's Concubine only said what to do if you win, but didn't say what to do if you lose. Could it be that all the noble ladies here combined are not as good as you? Although the River Chart and Luoshu are the most difficult mathematics, those of us who have family learning were all taught together with our brothers. We are all familiar with rituals, music, and numerology, and we are not incapable of playing with this stuff. The Crown Prince's Concubine really underestimates us. She doesn't even want to set up a jackpot for losing."

Xie Zhichan thought to herself, I was just thinking about how to make the game more exciting, and then someone handed her a ladder. It was just in time.

She smiled gratefully and said to Huang Baoying, "I am just a person who knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How dare I look down on all the masters here? Just now, the princess said that no matter what talent it is, it is just for fun. I didn't mention any prizes. If Miss Huang thinks that not setting a prize is disrespectful to everyone, it is not impossible if you want to set a prize."

She smiled, looked at everyone and said, "In the past, when I played chess with the prince, the winnings and losses were calculated according to the chess pieces, one tael of silver for each chess piece. Since we are just playing today, let's also calculate it according to the chess pieces, one tael of silver for each chess piece. How about that?"

Everyone was silent for a while. They just listened and heard that Prince Pei and his wife had this kind of hobby. They just didn't know who won more.

However, some people felt jealous after hearing this.

Huang Baoying added: "You put these two question plates on the same table. Who knows if you will plagiarize others?"

Xie Zhichan thought to herself, she didn't have to plagiarize others, but she didn't want others to plagiarize her, because it would be pointless to cheat then.

He smiled and said, "In that case, let's set up two tables, set up a double-sided copper gong in the middle to block it, and then appoint a supervisor to arrange the distribution of question papers to ensure that the questions on the two question trays are the same. Then find a question checker to start by beating the gong. Put a small copper stick on the table of the answerer, and whoever finishes answering the question first will take the initiative to beat the gong to end it. How do you do?"

When everyone heard that a chess piece was only worth one or two taels of silver, they silently calculated in their minds that losing a game would only result in a few taels of silver, so those who knew how to play were eager to try.

Xie Zhichan was also calculating in her mind: as long as she could win ten chess pieces in a game, it would be ten taels of silver per game. The higher the difficulty, the more empty chess squares there were, and the more chess pieces she could win, so it would not be just ten taels of silver per game.

As expected, everyone nominated Princess Yongtai as the supervisor. Princess Yongtai arranged two servants in the mansion to distribute the test papers, and found an old accountant who was proficient in the River Map and Luoshu to be in charge of the opening and checking the questions.

He also asked people to place the two question boxes on two separate tables, and as Xie Zhichan said, a double-sided bronze gong was set up in the middle of the two tables to serve as a cover.

Xie Zhichan sat at one of the tables. The other table was vacant for a while, and then Huang Baoying sat there confidently.

A noble lady smiled and said, "I heard that Sister Baoying learned arithmetic better than her brothers when she was young. After she came of age, she has been learning accounting from Madam Huang, so playing with the River Chart and the Luoshu is no problem for her."

Two servants from the Princess's mansion each held two pieces of question paper and presented them to Princess Yongtai. After she glanced at them, they took them away and placed them on two question plates. She then nodded to the old accountant who was responsible for ringing the gong and stepped aside.

At the sound of a gong, the two men began to fill the chess board with chess pieces.
