Chapter 1043 The Emperor Arrives!

Zhang Yun immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you for your grace."

Soon there were palace officials on the chessboard, Qin Zhao and Zhang Yun each sat in a corner and began to play against each other.

The first chess game was in a stalemate, Zhang Yun did not dare to take the initiative to attack easily, and decided to focus on defense first.

Qin Zhao seemed to be playing slowly and carelessly, but he was actually familiar with the game.

She really hadn't played chess for a long time. After Ruxi left the palace, almost no one played against her. This thing has to be played frequently to become more proficient. But she is a smart person, and after this short period of adjustment, she is already familiar with it.

Zhang Yun didn't know that Qin Zhao's inattentiveness was purely looking for feelings. She thought that an expert should be like Qin Zhao, but she didn't know that she gave Qin Zhao enough time to adapt.

After two quarters of an hour, there were more and more people in the Imperial Garden.

Zhang Yun also knew that today's day was special, she did not dare to delay any longer, and simply launched the attack first.

Qin Zhao also changed his gentle chess style in an instant, and launched a counterattack under Zhang Yun's pressing step by step. The two fought on the chessboard.

Then Zhang Yun saw a gap in Qin Zhao's space and made a decisive move. Who would have guessed that she had just dropped the chess piece and found out that this was a trap set by Qin Zhao, and she couldn't quit and regret the chess move.

In the end, Qin Zhao won cleanly, and Zhang Yun was convinced that he lost: "The imperial concubine's chess skills are superb, and the people's daughters admire it."

She has never admired anyone, and Concubine Qin is unique.

This clear chess style is also what she likes.

"Acceptance, Ben Gong won by luck." Qin Zhao replied with a smile.

If Zhang Yun had not given her time to adapt at the beginning, she would have lost at the beginning. It wasn't a big deal for her to lose, but her current status was a noble concubine, and she represented the court. If she lost on such an occasion, the concubines and concubines of the harem had no face.

"The noble concubine is too modest." Zhang Yun only said that Qin Zhao was going down the stairs for her, and she was more grateful to Qin Zhao.

When Qin Zhao saw Zhuang Qing and Ruxi coming, he called them to him and said to Ruxi, "Would you like to play against Yi with Miss Zhang?"

"No, Minnu hasn't played chess for too long, and her chess skills are already unfamiliar." Ruxi replied with a smile.

Qin Zhao didn't force it, but pulled Zhuang Qing and Ruxi to chat.

When Mrs. Xu appeared, Qin Zhao asked for Mrs. Xu to be brought over, including Chen's mother.

"How is your father recently?" Qin Zhao went straight to the topic.

Xu Shi had never seen such a big scene, she was trembling and trembling, and when she heard Qin Zhao's question, she didn't dare to lift her head: "Master has been doing well recently, and the situation is stable."

As long as he is not provoked by Qin Zhao, there is not much of a problem with the master's situation.

Originally, the old man had eaten well and lived well in these years. Except for the occasional babble, he was fine at other times.

"Well, that's good." Qin Zhao's eyes were fixed on Chen's mother.

Chen's mother didn't dare to raise her head, but Qin Zhao said again, "The last time I went back to the palace to stay at the Qin mansion for two days, it was Mama Chen who left other trivial matters to accompany the palace. This time, as the host of the palace, I also brought Chen. Mom is walking in the imperial garden."

Chen's mother was instantly flattered: "Old slave dare not."

Baozhu stepped forward to lead Chen's mother to Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao left the others behind, brought a few close ones, and then brought Chen's mother to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

The rest of the less important people followed closely. Along the way, everyone not only admired all kinds of exotic flowers, but also saw a lot of food and drinks in the shape of petals.

Everyone thought the food was pretty, and it was all self-service.

Qin Zhao explained to everyone that this was a buffet.

There is no need to worry about safety, because there are palace maids and servants guarding every three feet away, even if someone deliberately wants to start, there is no chance.

After Xiao Ce ascended the throne, this was the first time that the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival was held.

Some people also entered the palace to participate in the Wanhua Festival during the period of the previous emperor, but the previous Wanhua Festival was far less intentional and innovative than this time.

In the bottom of their hearts, everyone just thought that Qin Zhao, a noble concubine, was born beautiful and might not be able to compare to the previous imperial concubine Wu Guifei in terms of managing affairs.

But looking at some details, concubine Qin Gui is really capable, especially when everyone has eaten the carefully prepared food, everyone's eyes lit up, and they just felt that this trip was worth it.

Some people forgot that this trip was to make friends with Qin Zhao, and also forgot the original purpose of sending their noble daughter into the palace, and they all stopped to taste the food before the food.

Qin Zhao, of course, saw this small detail, and knew that the food prepared by Baoyu was so powerful that it easily bought the hearts of these noble women and noble women.

Chen's mother was particularly eye-catching among the many nobles. Everyone was guessing who this person was, and it was only later that they found out that this was the slave of the Qin family. Even Mrs. Xu couldn't wait by Qin Guifei's side, but this servant could. Everyone guessed that there was something special about Mother Chen's identity.

Some people even thought of Chen's mother, thinking that after this Wanhua Festival, they could flatter Chen's mother and maybe get close to Qin Guifei.

Qin Zhao didn't expect that just because she wanted to take Chen's mother for a walk in the imperial garden, someone would hit Chen's mother's idea.

She simply felt that Mama Chen was kind and might have something to do with herself, so she took Mama Chen for a walk on her own territory.

She kindly asked about the Qin family, and also asked the age of Chen's mother and where she was from. Chen's mother answered one by one, always with her head half lowered, looking very frightened.

Seeing this scene, Princess Yongchun couldn't help but ask Qin Zhao, "Who are you, Mama Chen?"

"The last time Ben Gong went back to the Qin family, thanks to Mother Chen for bringing Ben Gong to know the Qin family. Although it seems like a small matter, it is a big deal for Ben Gong." Qin Zhao replied with a smile.

Princess Yongchun didn't expect this: "It's just that simple?"

"Otherwise, how complicated does the eldest princess think?" Qin Zhao smiled.

Princess Yongchun looked at Qin Zhao, and then looked at Chen's mother: "I think the picture of the two of you walking together is quite interesting."

"How do you say that?" This time it was Qin Zhao's turn to be curious.

Princess Yongchun thought about it for a while, but still didn't know how to describe it, "I can't describe it."

Qin Zhao looked at Chen's mother, "Bengong thinks Chen's mother is very kind."

Perhaps Princess Yongchun wanted to say that the picture of her walking with Mother Chen was not against harmony?

During the lively moment, Qin Zhao slowed down, only because a familiar footstep sounded, the owner of the voice was Xiao Ce.

Not only Xiao Ce came, this time Wu Xirou also came with Xiao Ce.

Because in the public, although she didn't want to see Xiao Ce, she couldn't avoid it like the last time.

This time, her coping strategy was to pretend she didn't know Xiao Ce was here, and continued to talk and laugh with others.

While the atmosphere was very good, there was a high-pitched voice from the servant: "The emperor is here!"
