In fact, this was the third time that both of them met Gu Jue. The first two times were at palace banquets, and they were not familiar with Gu Jue at all.

The same was true for others, who had only met Gu Jue at palace banquets.

Seeing Duke Qin's attitude at this time, and even saying that this was not the first time they met, others couldn't help but think more.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Gu Jue's expression did not change at all. He sat down opposite the old Duke Qin calmly.

However, as soon as I raised my head, I met a pair of warm and bright eyes.

Gu Jue’s body stiffened for a moment.

Since everyone's eyes were on Gu Jue at the moment, the changes in Gu Jue's body naturally could not escape everyone's eyes.

Almost everyone saw that frozen moment.

However, everyone thought that it was because Gu Jue felt uneasy facing Duke Qin and Prince Xiang, and no one thought about it too much.

No matter how much people thought about it, probably no one would have thought that Gu Jue knew His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

No one could have imagined that the two not only knew each other, but had even been together for more than three months.

Shen Zhuo naturally noticed Gu Jue's stiffness and understood what was going on.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhuo walked towards the corner.

It would be better not to affect her. He probably understood her sudden decision this time.

His father would not do this easily, especially since the other party was a woman.

Old Qin would never do that. Shen Zhuo has always been aware of the Qin family's intention to avoid suspicion.

This time, facing Gu Jue, he acted out of character and said something even more thought-provoking.

All these details show that this game of chess is not simple, extremely not simple.

He couldn't think of anyone other than this one person who could mobilize the two great powers of his father and Duke Qin.

But I don’t know if she can understand the importance of this game of chess.

Shen Zhuo went to the corner, and Gu Jue caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye.

There's a slight bitterness in my heart.

It turns out you really don't want to see me.

With this sour feeling, Gu Jue started the game of chess.

She played chess with Duke Qin, and King Xiang watched from the sidelines. Everyone else sat aside because of their status. Only a few old generals stood beside the two of them and watched without caring about their image.

The game he played was chess. On weekdays, Gu Jue played the most Go.

But she is also good at chess, and it is even her strong point.

A few years ago, Gu Jue was a person who played chess and gambled with others every day.

Later, I gradually found it boring, so I switched to playing Go.

Now when I pick up chess again, the familiar feeling comes back.

She didn't even have to think about it, countless ways to win appeared in her mind.

As soon as the game of chess between the two began, Gu Jue noticed something was wrong.

Everything was wrong, starting from the very beginning.

Old Duke Qin shouldn't have this attitude, and he shouldn't even play chess with her.

There are many people in the field who can be rivals to Duke Qin.

Moreover, it was clearly Prince Xiang who was playing chess with Duke Qin just now, and it was only because of her arrival that the players changed.

She didn't know King Xiang. She only heard that he had a very good temper and was easy to talk to. She knew nothing else.

No matter how easy-going or good-tempered a person is, he or she should not have this attitude.

What's more, the other party is a stranger.

Moreover, from the first step taken by the other party, Gu Jue had already sensed the other party's intention to force her to win.

Force her to win?

Are you trying to test her?

Or is it just to warn her? To strike her down?

Gu Juezhi actually had some answers in his mind.

However, since the other party wanted to see her win by any means necessary, she did as he wished.

So, Gu Jue started a perfect performance.

Anyway, this game looks quite fun.

After all, everyone around was scratching their heads and looking totally unpresentable, but Gu Jue actually found it quite fun to watch.

Even when it started, Shen Zhuo was watching in the crowd without being noticed by Gu Jue. Gu Jue's mind was completely attracted by the several old generals around him.

Just when the two were evenly matched, the old butler of the Qin Mansion squeezed into the crowd and whispered something in the ear of Duke Qin.

Only then did the Duke of Qin stop.

It turned out that it was already noon, and seeing that Duke Qin had not yet arrived at the banquet hall, Madam Qin sent someone to urge him.

After taking a look at the chessboard in front of him, a hint of deep meaning flashed in Old Duke Qin's eyes, and he turned to Gu Jue with a smile on his face and said.

"Let's stop here for today. We can finish today's game when we have the chance."

"it is good."

Seeing that both of them stood up, Butler Qin looked at the people around him and said respectfully.

"My Lords, the banquet will begin soon. Please move to the banquet hall."

Dayan's banquets have always had separate seats for men and women. Gu Jue, who was supposed to go to the women's seat, was kept at the men's seat by Duke Qin.

In the words of Duke Qin, "You are now the head of the Marquis' Mansion, so you can sit in this seat. However, if you want to go to the women's seat, you can go."

Duke Qin spoke very frankly, but almost everyone understood one thing.

The Duke of Zhenguo acknowledged that Gu Jue was the one in power in Gu Yuanhou Mansion.

Almost everyone began to change their attitude.

Originally, they didn't take what the emperor said at the palace banquet seriously.

The most important thing is, what’s the use of being the person in charge of the Gu Mansion? Without real power, it doesn’t matter to them at all.

In fact, because of Gu Jue's identity as a woman, they did not take the "farce" in their minds seriously.

Later, some ministers heard that Gu Jue went to the Gu family military camp, but when they inquired, they found out that hundreds of Gu family soldiers had left because of Gu Jue.

Because of this incident, the ministers no longer took Gu Jue seriously.

But what I didn't expect was that Duke Qin acknowledged it and even tacitly agreed to Gu Jue taking over the Gu family's cavalry.

The Qin family tacitly agreed that Gu Jue would really take over the Gu family's cavalry.

This is no small matter. The Qin family is an imperial family and has always supported the current emperor.

Now that they were in public, they had no choice but to think twice before acknowledging Gu Jue’s identity.

Looking at Prince Xiang again, he did not make any statement at this time.

Not making a statement is the biggest statement.

The ministers' eyes changed again and again, and even at the beginning of the banquet some people were still absent-minded.

In fact, Gu Jue had already thought of this situation.

Regardless of whether the game of chess is played today or not, she is destined to sit in this seat.

The Qin family is a staunch imperial family that will always support the emperor and listen to him.

Since the emperor had said so at the beginning, all of Gu Yuanhou's official duties should be handed over to her.

Even after knowing what she did in the military camp, they still did not send anyone to stop her.

Just for this reason, this position is destined to be hers.

In fact, just now during the game of chess, she had already understood the thoughts of Duke Qin and King Xiang, and she also understood the real purpose of playing this game of chess.

The person who really wanted to test and tempt her was not the two people in front of her, but the emperor who was in a high position.

As for the reason, she probably guessed it.
