Chapter 141 Why is the Female Emperor speaks in Coquettish Tone?
"i'm slightly unwell. i'll have the imperial physician treat me when i return to the palace. lord gu, there's no need to trouble yourself," mu yuyan, with a slightly reddened face, finished speaking in a different voice.
she had tried her best to alter her tone, but in doing so, the initially cool and elegant feeling was lost. instead, it became somewhat inconsistent with her status... a bit flirtatious!
oh~ if master gu finds out that this voice came from me, i'm really done for...
after mu yuyan finished speaking, a wave of shame surged over her like a tide.
she covered her hot and flushed face with her jade-like hand, and her earlobes were crystal clear and delicate.
but at this point, there was no choice but to speak!
alas, xiao fei'er was dumbfounded. she never expected that her majesty could manipulate her voice like this. could it be that she practiced day and night with lord gu?
in the pavilion!
su hua and zhang qingwei had strange expressions. they remembered that the female emperor didn't sound like this before.
could it be that she suddenly developed a throat illness? sitting in the observing seat, gu lan was utterly shocked!
damn! how come this dignified female emperor sounds so coquettish?!
too frightening!
"gu lan, pay respects to her majesty!"
gu lan endured his inner complaints and bowed towards the direction of the rockery.
"it's alright; let's continue playing chess. lord gu, just enjoy watching. perhaps her majesty is genuinely inconvenient." su hua quickly intervened.
"okay." gu lan responded mildly.
at this moment, zhang qingwei had already made a wrong move.
under su hua's systematic encirclement, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous situation!
as long as the grand tutor played normally, within ten moves, zhang would lose the entire game...
gu lan observed the chessboard, already having a conclusion in his mind.
after a few more moves, the situation became clear. the white pieces were in decline, and the outcome was evident.
zhang qingwei was about to give up, intending to concede and start anew as before. however, when his gaze swept over gu lan, he raised his eyebrows!
"lord gu, do you see a way out in this situation?" zhang qingwei asked somewhat awkwardly. after all, ending up like this and having the younger generation clean up the mess was a bit of a disgrace to his reputation as a literary master.
"does this young man understand chess?" su hua was surprised. he thought gu lan was just recommended by zhang qingwei due to their good relationship, to gain some familiarity.
"a bit, a bit..."
since he was here, gu lan didn't want to let zhang lose face. he didn't mind admitting to doing a little "bad" thing by helping the female emperor when she needed it.
however, he remained calm; after all, the advantage was too great!
clap!
su hua adjusted his sleeve and continued to place black pieces.
however, after a few more rounds, su hua sensed something was wrong! discover stories with empire
why was this young man making the best moves every step of the way?!
was there not a single misstep?
zhang qingwei watched the game unfold, his eyes becoming increasingly bright, and he exclaimed excitedly, "this is the route i wanted to take with those later moves. young master gu has walked it all!"
hearing his voice and the clear sounds of placing stones on the board, mu yuyan in the study started feeling a bit itchy!
although she knew that her husband could write chess manuals, she never played chess with him. unexpectedly, his practical skills were so impressive. she was also a master of chess, and at this moment, her heart burned with a bit of curiosity...
after a quarter of an hour, in the pavilion, su hua was sweating profusely. the white pieces on the chessboard had made a strong comeback, cutting through the black pieces, rendering them unable to resist!
even xiao fei'er, who didn't know much about chess, could see su hua's decline!
after placing two more pieces, su hua wiped his sweat and awkwardly smiled, "the rising tide of the yangtze river pushes the waves before it. young man, your chess skills are profound. i concede!"
the old man now lacked the tone of an imperial tutor and instead had a very humble and respectful attitude, seeking advice.
gu lan didn't become conceited because of such a small matter. after all, he didn't know that, in terms of cultivation, he was stronger...
gu lan still smiled modestly, "it's just luck on the part of the junior. grand tutor was momentarily careless, and i took advantage of it."
"in any case, i've lost!" su hua thought, "this young man's character is really good. he knows how to save face to the elderly..."
he squinted and smiled at gu lan.
his gaze somewhat resembled the look of a teacher-in-law at his son's wife... cough, the feeling of being the teacher of the son-in-law!
"no need to play anymore. if senior brother can't win, it seems normal for me to lose too!" zhang qingwei smiled.
although he had forgotten the original purpose of coming today, he seemed to have found another reason to feel better!
"would you like to stay for a meal, young man?"
"no, it's been a long time since i've been home, and i'm afraid my family will worry." gu lan bowed and took his leave.
of course, su hua thought he had stayed at the residence for too long and probably didn't think he would end up in a fight outside the city, lecturing to the buddha's disciple for too long!
after a moment, gu lan and zhang qingwei left together. xiao fei'er, being the female emperor's maid, naturally stayed behind.
"your majesty?" she gently called from the door of the study.
after a while, mu yuyan lifted the barrier and revealed her blushing face. "has my husband... left?"
