Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

But no matter how Jiang Fenghua knocked on the door, it was quiet outside, without any sound at all.

Lian Ye and Hong Xiu were not there, and Aunt Xu was pretending to be deaf and dumb. Lin Feng was bribed by Hong Xiu and would not come forward to help.

Jiang Fenghua was a little embarrassed. "It's all my fault that I spoiled them too much, which made them lawless. Your Majesty, please take a seat first. Lian Ye may be here soon. I will wait for her to come... and I will definitely punish her."

Xie Shang suddenly asked, "Besides dancing, what else do you usually do when you are alone?"

"My father is a teacher, so naturally I am often spanked on the palm of my hand by him. Master Jiang's spanking hurts a lot." Jiang Fenghua showed a mischievous look on her face.

Xie Shang understood immediately. The Jiang family was a family of scholars, so her talent was naturally not low. Except when she was dancing, she was passionate and seductive, and she was always quiet and dignified. His mother said that he needed such a princess.

"I heard that you also designed Tingxue Pavilion. What an elegant and unique name."

"As long as Your Majesty likes it, this is my duty as a wife." She blurted out.

When the word "wife" was mentioned, her face turned red, her eyes became shy, and she looked charming and lovely.

Jiang Fenghua avoided him and walked to the other side to avoid embarrassment.

Xie Shang also felt embarrassed. Seeing the chessboard next to the desk, he said, "How about you play a game with me? I slept well in the bedroom decorated by the princess, but now I am not sleepy at all."

Jiang Fenghua smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty wants to play chess with me. If you lose, please don't cry and turn into a snotty person."

Her words made Xie Shang stunned for a moment. He looked up and stared at Jiang Fenghua. The little girl in his dream flashed before his eyes. Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, her appearance had long become blurred. The only thing he remembered was her missing front teeth.

I saw her sitting upright beside the chessboard, smiling and saying in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

What she wanted was to be as pure as a blank sheet of paper in Xie Shang's eyes.

When playing chess, Jiang Fenghua is very focused and quiet. She possesses all the qualities of a chess player. She is not startled, fearful, no noisy, and even expressionless, making it difficult for the other party to figure out her mood.

Gradually, Xie Shang also got into the state. He felt that he was well matched when playing against Jiang Fenghua, and even a little overwhelmed. The more he got to know her, the more attracted he was to her.

"Your Highness, you lost. Thank you for letting me win." Jiang Fenghua knew how to play chess and knew that Xie Shang was an expert.

In her previous life, in order to win Xie Shang’s favor, she studied for twenty years, but no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

In this life, she attracted his attention with her appearance, and he was even attracted to her.

It's ridiculous that he keeps saying that he cares about inner beauty rather than outer appearance!

Xie Shang's eyes showed surprise, "Who do you usually play chess with? Master Jiang's chess skills shouldn't be this good!"

She said, "With my elder brother, he traveled a lot and had a wide range of knowledge. He often collected chess records. When I was bored, I would study them a little. Gradually, I defeated my elder brother. He was not convinced and looked for more advanced chess games for me to crack. Over time, I understood the rules."

Xie Shang understood that Jiang Fenghua was the third in line, Jiang Rumeng was nine years older than her and was the second. She also had a brother who was twelve years older than her and was the eldest son of the Jiang family. He asked, "Isn't your brother in Shengjing?"

"Yes, he likes to travel around and is often out and about. My eldest brother also loves us three sisters and often brings us many good things. Your Highness, you have seen the flowers in the courtyard. They were all sent back to Shengjing by my eldest brother. He specially gave them to me and said they were my wedding gifts."

Jiang Fenghua took the initiative to explain and dispel Xie Shang's doubts. Xie Shang was very lazy and didn't like to spend time on women. If he didn't ask, he would never ask, but he would mind.

When Xie Shang heard that the potted plants in the garden were sent by her eldest brother, his mood inexplicably improved. He did not point it out, but asked, "Your eldest brother is often not home, who do you usually play chess with?"

"With myself!"

Xie Shang asked, "How do I play chess by myself?"

Jiang Fenghua was seen holding the black chess pieces in his left hand and the white chess pieces in his right hand. The black pieces fell on the chessboard, and then the white pieces followed closely. Gradually, the chessboard was filled with black and white pieces. Xie Shang stared at him intently, with shock in his pupils.

Jiang Fenghua in front of him was so dazzling. Her eyes were clear and innocent, like a clear spring, confident and charming.

She has an extremely beautiful face, and he thinks any man would be attracted to her!

Fortunately, the Jiang family hid her well, and fortunately, she married him. Xie Shang suddenly felt possessive in his heart. He wanted to possess such a beautiful woman.

This game lasted a long time. Both players were so focused that they didn't pay attention to the time and midnight passed quickly.

Jiang Fenghua was playing chess against herself, but she was barely able to tell who was better. To do this, she had to have two chessboards in her mind at the same time, otherwise it would be impossible.

At the end, Jiang Fenghua's eyes showed a mischievous look, and her brows were furrowed. "I usually prefer the white one, and I think it is silver and cute, but today the black one always has the upper hand, and I really can't accept it."

She was playing the Double Dragon chess game, which no one could break. Jiang Fenghua spent a long time studying it before figuring it out.

Xie Shang snatched the black piece from her left hand and moved it out of position, deliberately letting the white piece take a step, allowing the white piece to win, "Isn't this better?"

Seeing that the chess game was settled, Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "The prince also prefers the white pieces." Her words were ambiguous. Was he starting to favor her too?

Xie Shang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. His facial features were so handsome that they made people intoxicated. Unfortunately, Jiang Fenghua had already seen through him, and these were just appearances.

It was late at night, Xie Shang made an excuse to beat Jiang Fenghua, saying that he wanted to play another game, so Jiang Fenghua had no choice but to risk his life to keep him company.

Because she never stays up late.

I don’t know what’s going on tonight, but Xie Shang keeps losing ground and is getting more and more frustrated the more he fights.

There was another drumbeat outside, and Jiang Fenghua reminded him, "Your Highness, it's already the fourth watch."

Xie Shang put down the chess piece, "So fast?"

"Your Highness has been staring at the chessboard so much that he has forgotten the time. It's so late now. If you don't go back, will Concubine Su misunderstand again?"

Xie Shang almost forgot to go back and coax Su Tingwan. Seeing her calm and composed look, he suddenly regained his fighting spirit. "It's so late now. Doesn't the princess want me to stay? On the night of the wedding, the princess begged me to stay."

Jiang Fenghua's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head slightly, "I had no choice."

Xie Shang stood up and said something ambiguous, "The game of chess is not over yet, let's continue it next time."

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, thinking that he was finally leaving, and was about to see the prince off respectfully.

He said in a cold tone, without allowing any argument, "Concubine Su has already fallen asleep, so I won't wake her up. I'll use the princess's territory to rest for a while." He explained in a cold tone, "I have to go to the government office very early tomorrow morning, and Lanyue Pavilion has my official uniform for work."

What I mean is that this is my territory and it is only natural for me to live here.

"Please do as you please, Your Majesty." Jiang Fenghua agreed in a gentle voice.

After Xie Shang walked to the side hall, Jiang Fenghua got up from her seat and walked to the door. She pulled the door gently and it opened.

She closed the door again. If Xie Shang wanted to leave, how could a door stop him? Man who says one thing and thinks another, how much true love do you have for Su Tingwan in the face of her beauty?
