Chapter 671: 662 Female Veneration: The Great God Above! (17) More 4

"What’s wrong?" the Prince furrowed his brows and looked at them, struggling to free his hand.

You never know until you check.

And when you do check, it’s quite a shock.

The envoys immediately told him what they had found, "This is the situation: the empress was not serious when she chose the Crown Princess. Not many in the Royal Court truly support the eldest princess, and you have just offended the second princess..."

To be honest, opposing the second princess at this time would not yield any good results.

"No," the Prince shook his head, "nobody understands chess better than I do."

"We are not talking about chess..."

"It’s all the same," the Prince sat down on a chair, his gaze steady as he looked at the envoys, "You all are mere spectators, do you know what it felt like when I was playing chess just now? She cornered me at every turn; although we played for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, did you not see that she almost instantly chose her next move every time? In contrast, I spent most of the time thinking about the game, and yet, she could win effortlessly."

"She is already thinking a hundred steps ahead with each move. You always say that even if I arranged troops as a war god might, I cannot compare to her. In her hands, I couldn’t make it past a few moves. With such skill in chess, how could her mind be simple?"

The envoys were initially shocked by the information they found.

But now, hearing the Prince’s words, they gradually came to a realization.

For a moment, they looked at each other; although they did not dare believe it completely, at least they no longer urged the Prince to apologize.

**

The second princess took over the Ministry of Personnel and gradually secured her footing in the Royal Court.

The direction of the Royal Court was slowly changing.

The consorts of the inner Palace also realized this.

"Checkmate." Qin Xuanyun placed the last piece and then withdrew the chessboard, "You..."

He looked at Ye Shaohua, not knowing what to say.

Shaohua said indifferently, "I’ll restore the real exquisite chess game for you another day; it’s quite interesting."

The two were talking when Jun Yiling and Qin Xuanyun’s General were fishing not far away.

It was then that Jun Yiling and the General’s pupils shrank, and they immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards where Ye Shaohua and Qin Xuanyun were. Seeing the two still playing chess, they couldn’t help but shout in shock, "Look out!"

"Clang—"

A flash of cold light reflected off Shaohua’s neck.

Without turning her head, Shaohua flicked a chess piece with her hand and sent it flying, instantly knocking the knife that was about to reach her throat to the ground.

Immediately after, an assassin was knocked to the ground.

The General and Jun Yiling removed the mask from the assassin’s face, revealing a well-known killer from Jianghu. Both widened their eyes in disbelief. How could the eldest princess, who seemed to know nothing in their eyes, possess such high martial art skills?!

Qin Xuanyun’s gaze turned toward the assassin, "You go back first."

Ye Shaohua nodded, "That’s fine."

She returned to the Palace, where Jun Qing was carrying Dim Sum out of the door.

"Shaohua, I’m going to deliver some Dim Sum to your empress mother." Jun Qing was the youngest son of the Jun Family, pampered since childhood. Later, when he entered the Palace, the empress also openly protected him, keeping him away from any heart-wrenching intrigues, so he was yet to realize the change in the empress’s attitude, "The ones left on the table are for you."

He still thought that the empress truly doted on them.

Shaohua looked at the smile on Jun Qing’s face and casually picked up the Dim Sum he had left for her.

After eating two, she turned her gaze back.

Pensive.

"Eldest princess, Lady Jun is here!" a Palace Maid said respectfully from outside.

These days, seeing the Prime Minister and Qin Xuanyun frequently visiting and being very familiar with Ye Shaohua, the Palace Maids knew that even though things hadn’t changed yet, it was still uncertain between the eldest and the second princesses... Whose hand the deer would die in.

Ye Shaohua immediately stood up and invited the two of them in.

"Eldest princess!" Lady Jun examined Ye Shaohua from head to toe, and after seeing she was unharmed, she asked, "Where is His Highness?"

"He went to the empress," Shaohua said without wanting to elaborate, "Grandmother, why have you come to the Palace? Aren’t you supposed to be discussing a marriage proposal for my cousin?"

As she said this, she glanced at Jun Yiling.

Jun Yiling was two years older than Ye Shaohua and should have been married long ago, but she hadn’t had the chance to find a suitable match while on the battlefield. Now that she was back, naturally, the Jun Family was seeking a good marriage for her.

"That is exactly why I am here today," Lady Jun said, her face clouding over with a touch of gloom. They were originally discussing marriage with the eldest son of the Vice Minister of Rites, but when it came time to finalize it, the Vice Minister avoided the meeting and went ahead and fixed another marriage for his son.
