"Qianyu, what's wrong?" Princess Kang asked in surprise after seeing it.
"Empress, this painting!" Qianyu immediately hesitated.
"It's not necessarily me he painted, right?" Princess Kang said with a relaxed smile.
"No, he didn't dare to draw the empress, but he...he drew me." Qianyu's face turned red after saying that, and she stared at Che Mingde, seeming a little angry.
Hearing this, many people were shocked and felt that this car Mingde was really bold.
But because of this, many people came over and found that it was really like this. On the scroll, a girl in red was dancing a sword, and a sword flower emerged from the tip of the sword, which looked full of murderous intent.
"Master Che is really a man who cherishes flowers!" Seeing this painting, Liang Baiyun felt jealous in his heart for some unknown reason, and subconsciously said this.
"When have you seen Qianyu?" Princess Kang asked calmly.
"I met him a few days ago in Beiguan County when I was staying at the inn in Tianshi Mansion." Che Mingde said.
"No wonder, but your portrait painting is not as good as the painting when I first saw Xiaoyi. It was also five or six years ago, right?" Princess Kang asked Zhou Xiaoyi.
"It was painted seven years ago when the prince celebrated his thirtieth birthday." Zhou Xiaoyi said.
"No matter what the painting is, Xiaoyi, you have won this game. There is no painting here, including me, that can match yours." Princess Kang said this specifically.
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess." Zhou Xiaoyi was in a good mood at this time, and obviously felt that he had also won the game.
Princess Kang then laughed and said, "Mr. Che, have you thought about what the next competition will be?"
Hearing Princess Kang's question again, Che Mingde smiled bitterly and said, "My dearest lady, dancing with words and writing is really not what I'm good at."
"The literary meeting is not just about poetry, calligraphy and painting, it can also be about music and even chess skills." Princess Kang specially reminded.
"If this is the case, it seems that I only know a little bit about chess now." Che Mingde said modestly.
"When Mr. Che competes in chess skills, there are generally two types of chess competitions in ordinary literary societies. One is to crack chess records, and the other is to play against multiple players with one person. Which one do you want to choose? The empress has a lot of unsolved chess in her collection at that time. Many of the chess records are rare in the world." Qianyu didn't know if it was because Che Mingde had painted her portrait before, but she specifically said something specific at this moment.
"Is that so?" Che Mingde asked, pretending to be unclear.
"That's true. After all, playing chess will take a lot of time. Just two people playing chess seems a bit unique." Liang Baiyun also helped explain this time.
Che Mingde thought for a while and said: "The chess record is a dead thing, so I will play chess with many people. I just don't know how to play this game. Should I play it alone against several people at the same time, or will it be a game of chess with everyone discussing the moves?"
"Master Che can actually fight against many. I wonder how many of them he can fight against?" Princess Kang seemed to be very interested and asked proactively.
"No more than nine people, too many will be too slow." Che Mingde said generously.
One person versus nine people actually spoke arrogantly, which made many people marvel, and many people immediately started talking among themselves.
After discussing for a while, Princess Kang soon decided: "In this case, we will choose seven people among you, and the remaining two, I am also a little bit skilled. In addition, Qianyu's chess skills are not weak, she can also be considered a , someone comes and sets out the chessboard."
Following Princess Kang's words, the servants soon brought ten chessboards and placed nine of them in front of Che Mingde one by one. The last one was placed in front of Princess Kang. Obviously, Princess Kang did not know how to play. Face to face with Che Mingde.
Che Mingde quickly sat on one side of the chessboard, while eight other people sat on the other side. At the same time, a maid was preparing to move back and forth between Princess Kang and Che Mingde to play the chessboard.
Among these seven people, Zhou Xiaoyi was naturally among them, and when he heard others whispering before, Che Mingde also knew that Zhou Xiaoyi's chess skills were not low, but what surprised him was that Liang Baiyun was the best chess player among the people here. Yes, but Che Mingde also thinks it is reasonable. When he was in Yuan'an County, Che Mingde knew that Liang Taiwei was very good at chess. His father would lose nine times out of ten against him, but there were several times when he was Watching the chess game on the sidelines, although I have never been out of the game, I asked myself that if I had been in the game, I would probably have a better chance of winning. However, in these years, I have never really played against Lord Taiwei.
"Master Che, are you ready?" Just as he was thinking about these things, Princess Kang's question came to his ears.
Che Mingde immediately stood up and saluted: "It's ready, you can start at any time."
"In that case, let's make your move!" After Princess Kang spoke, she also placed a move on her own chessboard first.
At the beginning of the chess game, in the layout stage, everyone present had their own chess moves, and they played very quickly. Che Mingde also made various openings accordingly, and it was just as fast.
After the layout entered the middle game, everyone soon discovered that imagining that Che Mingde had to think about each of the nine games, even if it took a little time, he would definitely think about it for a while, and it would definitely slow down time because of him. As a result, everyone found that Che Mingde Although the speed of the move is slower than during the layout, it is still as fast as lightning compared to others. When the three women, Wang Fei, Qian Yu and Liang Baiyun are out, the remaining few people obviously think slowly at every step, especially Zhou Xiaoyi. , seemed to be deliberately targeted by Che Mingde, and not long after entering the middle game, he actually reached a deadlock and even quickly went to a dead end. This cost him a lot of money in the next move, so that Che Mingde and Qianyu's There are almost two hundred pieces on the chessboard in total, and there are only about a hundred pieces on his chessboard.
"I lost. Mr. Che's chess skills are so high that it's incredible. I'm afraid he's not much different from the two national players today." Soon, Miss Zuo was the first to surrender.
The total number of moves she made in this game of chess was only one hundred and fifty sixty. She gave up so quickly. It was obvious that Miss Zuo was also a very cheerful person, and her evaluation of Che Mingde was already extremely high.
Hearing Miss Zuo's words of admitting defeat, many people seemed to be relieved. Then several people admitted defeat one after another. The most moves were only 150 or 60 moves by both sides, and the few moves were smaller than Miss Zuo's. There are even fewer disks.
Seeing that more than half of the people had already admitted defeat, Zhou Xiaoyi also stood up in relief and said with a rather cool look: "Mingde, you are really good at chess. Zhou also admitted defeat because he didn't know what he was doing."
Zhou Xiaoyi asked himself that he had admitted defeat so coolly, and since others had already admitted defeat, he felt that he was not ashamed. However, when he saw Cha Mingde, he just looked at him and nodded to show that he knew, as if he didn't care about him admitting defeat. Zhou Xiaoyi became more and more dissatisfied with this boy. Regardless of his relationship with Liang Baiyun, he secretly hated him deep in his heart.
