Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 686 One More Advantage

Soon, only the emperor and Concubine Chen were left in the inner room.

Shen Zhinian rested his right elbow on the table, held his chin with one hand and looked at Nangong Xuanyu: "Why did His Majesty let them all go?"

"When we're halfway down, if you or I get thirsty, won't there be anyone to pour tea for us?"

Nangong Xuanyu did not answer this question.

Looking at the pretty and charming Concubine Chen, his eyes gradually became darker and he coaxed her, "There are winners and losers in chess. If that's the case, how can there be no prizes?"

Without Nangong Xuanyu saying anything, Shen Zhinian knew that her guess was correct. This man really had a bad idea...

A blush appeared on her charming cheeks, but she pretended not to understand and looked at Nangong Xuanyu and asked, "What prize does your majesty want?"

The emperor leaned forward slightly, moved closer to Shen Zhinian and whispered a few words.

Shen Zhinian chuckled in his heart.

Although the temperature has not yet turned warm, the entire main hall is heated by the heating, making it very warm. Shen Zhinian stayed in the inner room, wearing even fewer clothes.

This man is really... good at having fun.

Although her former lovers sometimes prepared some new tricks to please her, Shen Zhinian was used to it and would not blush because of such a small scene.

But she knew what effect Nangong Xuanyu wanted to see.

No problem.

Because this man has named her Concubine Chen, tonight, she will act the way he wants to see.

Shen Zhinian lowered her head slightly, revealing a shy profile. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, like two small fans.

Her cheeks were flushed, like a drunk imperial concubine, and she was so embarrassed that she could hardly speak: "Your Majesty, how could you be so... bad!"

Although there were countless women in the harem, it was from Shen Zhinian that the emperor experienced for the first time the joy of the boudoir.

Because those concubines were taken into the harem either to balance the power in the court or to fulfill his duty as the emperor to expand his family.

Only Nian Nian is the one he holds at the top of his heart.

Nangong Xuanyu's slender fingers pinched a black chess piece: "Why? Nian Nian doesn't have confidence in her chess skills, so she doesn't dare?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost stirred, Shen Zhinian satisfied Nangong Xuanyu and deliberately fell for his provocation. She snorted and said, "Who said I dare not?"

"These days, my chess skills have improved a lot. I may not be the loser in the end!"

Nangong Xuanyu raised his eyebrows: "Then I won't be polite to Concubine Chen."

He was the first to place a black piece on the chessboard.

Shen Zhinian followed closely behind and placed a white piece.

Nangong Xuanyu picked up the black piece again and dropped it without thinking: "I still remember the first time I played chess with you when you first entered the palace. I was instantly amazed by your chess skills. We played from dusk to dawn..."

"I have rarely played chess with others since I was a child. I played so much that I forgot the time."

Listening to the emperor's implicit praise, Shen Zhinian was not blinded by pride.

She calmly placed a white piece and asked curiously, "Oh?"

"It is rare. I wonder which beauty has such great chess skills? I love chess and would like to learn from her someday."

Nangong Xuanyu smiled and shook his head, and dropped another black chess piece: "If the concubines in the harem had such superb chess skills, I wouldn't often find them boring."

"It's Gu Jinxiao, Mr. Gu."

Shen Zhinian followed Nangong Xuanyu's steps and said after making a move: "So that's how it is."

That's such a pity...

As a political enemy in her previous life, Shen Zhinian had paid much attention to Gu Jinxiao, but that man had never shown his chess skills in front of others. She didn't know that Gu Jinxiao's chess skills were also very poor.

I just wonder if she will have the chance to experience it in this life?

On the chessboard, Nangong Xuanyu and Shen Zhinian were playing back and forth.

At the beginning, both of them made their moves very quickly, as if they didn't need to think.

But as more and more chess pieces appeared on the chessboard, both Nangong Xuanyu and Shen Zhinian's speed slowed down significantly...

At the end, Shen Zhinian held a white piece in her hand and picked a spot. But before she put the piece down, her heart suddenly tightened slightly!

I almost let my guard down!

This was obviously a trap set by Nangong Xuanyu for her. It seemed to be his loophole, but in fact it was a dead end he prepared for her!

If she dropped the chess piece there, she would lose the game.

Shen Zhinian snorted and said angrily, "Your Majesty is so cunning, I will not fall for your trick!"

Then she dropped the white piece to another place.

Who knows——

Nangong Xuanyu chuckled: "I know Nian Nian is smart and won't fall into a trap easily. But sometimes... being too smart can lead to mistakes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor placed a black piece, and the situation on the chessboard changed drastically in an instant.

Shen Zhinian...lost!

It turned out that Nangong Xuanyu's previous move was just to confuse her. This was his real killer move!

She underestimated the enemy!

Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything, but just looked at her leisurely.

If she loses, she loses. It’s not like she can’t afford to lose!

Shen Zhinian didn't give this man a chance to look down on her. She took off her outermost clothes and threw them aside: "Come again!"

Nangong Xuanyu put all the black pieces on the chessboard into the chess box and pushed it in front of Shen Zhinian: "Don't say that I bully you. This round, Concubine Chen will go first."

Shen Zhinian discovered that when they were together in private before, Nangong Xuanyu rarely called her by her title or position. But now, he would blurt out "Noble Concubine Chen" every once in a while.

It was as if he was teasing her on purpose.

Shen Zhinian didn't bother to be polite with Nangong Xuanyu. He took the chess box and made the first move.

The emperor picked up the white piece and placed it in another place.

She had just lost a game and she didn't have many clothes left to lose.

Shen Zhinian's expression gradually became serious, from sitting casually to sitting upright.

finally--

Time passed by bit by bit, and I didn't know how much time had passed.

As Shen Zhinian placed a black piece, all the white pieces' escape routes were blocked.

She raised her eyes, looked at Nangong Xuanyu with a smile, raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, take it off."

Somehow, although he was the one who proposed the prize, at this moment, he had a strange feeling in his heart...

Perhaps it was because he was an emperor, and no one had ever dared to ask him to take off his clothes in front of him...

Nangong Xuanyu showed no strange expression on his face and silently took off his outer robe.

Next, the two of them played one round after another, with both sides going back and forth.

In general, Nangong Xuanyu and Shen Zhinian won and lost about the same number of times.

But as a woman, Shen Zhinian has a little more advantage than Nangong Xuanyu under this rule...
