Family Has a Concubine

But Ye Tangcai's eyes widened: "Do you want to take advantage if you lose?" Smiling angrily, "You pay tribute every year, and our grand qi doubles the congratulatory gifts to you. Now you actually say that if you lose, you will pay more tribute." Doubling? Then, wouldn’t we, Grand Qi, want to give you twice as much? You’re actually borrowing chess to take advantage of us, right?”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent, and then there was a "boom", Emperor Zhengxuan and the courtiers burst out laughing, hahaha, tears almost came out of laughter.

Paying tribute is just an attitude. In the past, Daqi wanted to save face. In order to show his demeanor as a great country, when others gave one catty, they returned two catties.

Now that the national treasury is empty, and the old habits and regulations are here again, they can't bear to lose face.

And they don't want to give more gifts in return, and it's not easy to bring them up, otherwise they will look petty. Da Qi has been holding back for several years, and now Ye Tangcai actually made it clear in this situation, which suddenly made Da Qi feel all face.

Emperor Zheng Xuan looked at Ye Tangcai and couldn't help but sigh slightly, she really is a talented woman! However, it is not talent, but eloquence!

Because of Ye Tangcai's words, Bei Yan's face turned green and pale, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Beilin and Dong'an either looked up at the beams of the house, or lowered their heads to touch their noses, because they also gave away one catty and received two catties to take advantage of Da Qi.

Hu Naduo's small face burst into embarrassment, and she became angry from embarrassment: "You, how could we..." It's really cunning!

Actually use this method to escape Douqi!

"We Daqi really don't care about your tribute, but we want to maintain the relationship between the two countries." Ye Tangcai said, "However, since you are so sincere, we should accompany you. How about this, My husband likes to eat northern Yanmi, so if you lose, send 100,000 rice grains to the southwest!"

As soon as Ye Tangcai agreed, Hu Naduo couldn't wait to agree: "Okay!" After she answered a good word, she realized what Ye Tangcai said.

"Fifth Sister!" Hu Mo's face changed, and he jumped up.

But Hu Naduo has already agreed.

Emperor Zhengxuan, the crown prince and the others gasped when they heard this. If you lose, you will get 100,000 rice grains? Could it be that Ye Tangcai dug a hole for Bei Yan to step on? This is to send rations to my husband! What a good daughter-in-law of Daqi!

All of a sudden, one hundred thousand was cheated, and the problem of food and grass was temporarily solved!

Emperor Zhengxuan burst into ecstasy. Now they are worrying about food and military supplies, and their hair is almost falling out. He was thinking about how to ask Bei Yan to borrow money. If he did, it would be embarrassing and embarrassing, and it would also expose Da Qi's shortcomings.

They were thinking of various ways, but she didn't want to, she brought up the issue of food and grass in a few words, and she didn't have to pay it back!

After Emperor Zhengxuan was excited, he was a little worried again. After all, the lottery is indeed attractive, but it has to be won!

But... since she dared to do this, maybe she has confidence!

Not only Emperor Zhengxuan, but also the people present here in Daqi think so.

Da Qi thought of it, and Bei Yan naturally thought of it too! After all, no one is a fool.

But if you take back what you say, won't it become the laughing stock of others? They, Beiyan, finally raised their eyebrows, and if they suddenly said, no comparison! We dare not! Then this face was thrown to grandma's house and became a big laughing stock among these countries.

Hu Naduo was also a little dazed, Hu Mo's face was livid, and the envoys of Beiyan behind him stared at Hu Naduo bitterly.

One of the old men stood up: "Our princess..."

"Your princess is Dayan's imperial daughter." Ye Tangcai chuckled.

The old man couldn't say a word about Dayan's imperial daughter.

"Hehe, indeed, the competition is only interesting if it wins." Hu Mo suddenly laughed out loud, agreeing to the competition.

"Brother Huang..." Hu Naduo looked at Hu Mo begging for help. She also regretted it, she was so impulsive.

Hu Mo glared at her, his thoughts turned sharply, and he kept thinking of countermeasures. Looking at the tone of this beauty, I can be sure that she must be a good Go player, maybe even better than that Liao Jueyao!

But even if he is better than Liao Jueyao, he may not be able to win Hu Naduo. After all, it was very easy for Hu Naduo to win against Liao Jueyao.

But Hu Mo is a cautious person, and he dare not take this risk. Not a single sliver can be risked.

If it was Na Duo's junior sister, Haizhu, who played the battle, it would be foolproof.

However, it was Na Duo who invited the battle, and now it was suddenly replaced by Hai Zhu. Na Duo was still their Princess of Yan, and if they changed, it would be a slap in the face! And this Daqi might not agree!

While Hu Mo was thinking of a plan, the courtiers on Da Qi's side were also whispering to each other.

Cai Jie whispered in Emperor Zhengxuan's ear: "Miss Chu San once won against Liao Jueyao. It was just at King Liang's birthday banquet last year!"

"Really?" Emperor Zhengxuan widened his eyes, feeling excited.

"Even if you really beat Liao Jueyao, you may not be able to win Princess Beiyan." The voice of the Crown Princess was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

Emperor Zhengxuan's face darkened, and he glanced at her coldly.

The Crown Princess was shocked, but she had already thought about her words, and said: "After all, Princess Yan is really... Let's not have too much hope, and let the emperor be disappointed if we don't get it."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "The Crown Princess is right, so don't take it lightly."

Emperor Zhengxuan felt a little unhappy, but he still had a little hope after all. After all, even if he lost... well, it was just that he couldn't get Beiyan's food and grass, and of course, he would lose face.

Emperor Zhengxuan was worried and worried, and the courtiers of Daqi were also in the same mood. But he still had hope for Ye Tangcai.

"Qihuang." At this time, Hu Mo smiled and cupped his hands.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old eyes flashed, did he think of any countermeasures? But what countermeasures will there be now, unless Beiyan is shameless!

"Our Haizhu girl is Na Duo's junior junior sister. She came all the way from here, and she also wants to compete." Hu Mo said.

Emperor Zhengxuan showed a sneer on his face: "Princess Yan who promised to fight. Is your Beiyan royal family so dishonest?"

Hu Mo was not angry, but smiled instead: "We are not breaking our promises, and our princess did not say no to the battle, but asked Haizhu girl to participate."

"What do you mean!" Zhang Zan yelled angrily, "Do you still want to play a game of chess between the two of you? Or do you two take turns playing against us?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials of Daqi sneered at Beiyan, and even the envoys of Beilin and Dongan cast a mocking glance at Beiyan, stupid, he had to finish the battle on his knees !

"How could our Beiyan do such a shameless thing." Hu Mo said, "But today they all came here to learn chess skills. It would be a pity if they couldn't have a formal competition. Moreover, One game is too monotonous, how about this, let's play three games and win two out of three sets. It just so happens that sister Naduo came here together, so let the three of them come together to challenge the three female chess players of yours."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent again.

The people of Beiyan showed a smile, and Emperor Zhengxuan and his courtiers turned dark, and they were so angry that they were about to beat them.

Liao Jueyao is the number one female chess player in Qiqi. The title of the number one talented woman is not fake. Her chess skills are really good, but there are people outside the people, and there is a sky outside the sky.

But the top representative of their Daqi is only Liao Jueyao, who is not as good as Beiyan. Ye Tangcai is a complete surprise. Now that he is in a hurry, where can he find one?

"You Beiyan are too shameless." Lu Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said coldly.

"How shameless are we?" Hu Mo laughed, "You Daqi said you wanted the lottery, and Beiyan gave it to you. You said that if you were fighting against Na Duo, we didn't refuse. Excuse me, is there anything we can't do?"

"You—" Lu Zhi's face darkened.

"You should hurry up and decide on the candidate." Hu Mo said, and glanced at Ye Tangcai, she is really a beauty, tsk tsk! Unfortunately, it is a scheming one.

Ye Tangcai's downcast eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Emperor Zhengxuan sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face. Although this is a competition and a chess game between the daughter's family, it is related to the Southwest War and the fate of Daqi, so it cannot be sloppy.

Emperor Zhengxuan wanted to call all the cabinet ministers over and went to the study to discuss, but now Beiyan smiled and sat on the side calmly, as if it was just an ordinary matter.

If they all ran back to discuss with a group of courtiers, they would be left behind, and they would lose in terms of momentum first.

So Emperor Zhengxuan was so anxious that the muscles on his old face trembled, but he didn't say a word, looking calm and composed.

Empress Zheng on the side said in a low voice: "There are three of them, and there are very few female chess players on our side. Naturally, Ye Tangcai has to go, and Liao Jueyao also has to go. Now we have to find another person. Ye Tangcai is still I don’t know why, although Liao Jueyao has lost before, she only lost the princess and Haizhu. If she is against this kind of Ai’er, she might win. If Ye Tangcai is lucky and wins, then we will win. This person ..."

"Are you looking for someone to make up the numbers?" Emperor Zhengxuan gave her a cold look, "How can you be sure that Liao Jueyao and Ye Tangcai will win? If one of them loses, then we will lose."

Empress Zheng pursed her lips, not wanting to tell him anymore. Because it doesn't matter if this kind of thing is discussed again, after all, who can decide whether to win or lose.

Therefore, the candidates still have to be cautious.

As Emperor Xuan thought about it, he looked down at the colorful ladies and ladies sitting below.

Those noble ladies and noble ladies all shrank their heads and lowered their bodies in fright. Who dares to go! Their chess skills are not as good as Liao Jueyao, so they don't do such unlucky things!

"Your Majesty." At this time, Ye Tangcai walked to the center of the hall and saluted Emperor Zhengxuan, "I have a candidate."

Hearing these words, Chu Pingfeng, who was sitting next to Liao Jueyao, felt his heart skip a beat, and then his heart skipped a beat.

"Who?" Emperor Zhengxuan said.

"I have a good friend who lives in my house. She is very good at chess, even among the noble girls in the capital." Ye Tangcai said. "It's called Qi Min."

"No!" Chu Pingfeng immediately jumped up.

This sudden sound startled everyone in the hall.

Liao Shoufu sneered: "Presumptuous! Sit down quickly!" Now that the emperor is speaking, when will it be his turn to speak.
