“I had arranged to meet with the Ninth Prince today. Why did you come?”
Han Yuwen didn’t even bother addressing Su Yingxue.
“1 wanted to seek guidance on chess from the Eldest Princess, so I invited Miss Su,” Qin Muyan promptly explained.
Su Yingxue appreciated Qin Muyan’s quick defense, but beside her, Chu Yihan remained as cold as an iceberg.
She felt a chill.
Chu Yihan pulled Su Yingxue up and interlocked their fingers in front of Han Yuwen. He opened his mouth and said, “I must decline the princess’s offer. 1 have already committed to someone for the position of Princess, and I cannot accept your kindness.”
“Thump!”
Han Yuwen’s black piece fell to the ground as her face darkened.
In terms of beauty, she was considered the most beautiful in Qi State, with striking features that rivaled Su Yingxue.
In terms of intelligence, she held control over the court, matching Su Yingxue’s capabilities.
In all other aspects, Su Yingxue couldn’t compare to her.
Why did Chu Yihan reject her?
Why did Chu Yihan reject her for Su Yingxue?
“Your Highness, 1 have always admired your wisdom. But why did you make such a decision? Were you charmed by someone seductive, affecting your decisive judgment?” Han Yuwen’s tone carried mockery as her sharp gaze pierced Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue chuckled, “How can you be sure that Your Highness’s judgment isn’t decisive? No one in the Great Cheng Dynasty has dared to question Your Highness. What makes you think you have the right? In what way do you surpass Your Highness?”
Han Yuwen’s face contorted with mockery. “I’m talking to Your Highness? Since when does a female envoy have the right to interrupt me?”
Previously, Su Yingxue had used her status to suppress her maid. Now, as a princess, she wanted Su Yingxue to understand her position.
“What does she think she is?” Han Yuwen thought.
“A female envoy not only can interrupt you but also knows how to play chess. 1 presume you must be skilled in chess, right?” Su Yingxue picked up a white piece, smiling at Han Yuwen.
“Do you dare to play chess with me?” Han Yuwen sneered. “1 never stoop to bullying the weak.”
“Princess, don’t be so arrogant. What if you lose to someone considered weak?”
Su Yingxue sat down confidently opposite Han Yuwen.
“Miss Su, the Eldest Princess’s chess skills are exceptional. Allow me to play on your behalf,” Qin Muyan offered.
“No need,” Chu Yihan said softly, holding Su Yingxue’s hand.
As soon as she sat down, both Qin Muyan and Chu Yihan rushed to protect her.
Han Yuwen, who had been arrogant, felt an extra surge of anger at this sight.
Such honors had always been hers!
“Princess, do you dare or not?”
Su Yingxue blinked, reassuring the two men on her sides.
“Don’t be so sure that she would lose the moment she sat down.” Su Yingxue thought.
“If you lose, 1 want the Ninth Prince to agree to my proposal,” Han Yuwen said, picking up a chess piece.
Su Yingxue, also holding a chess piece, remained composed. “This is impossible. There are stakes in chess, and it might be more interesting. However, Princess is taking advantage of the situation and is shameless. Therefore, please forgive me for not agreeing to it. After all, I want to save my face.”
Han Yuwen was furious, breaking her chess piece in half.
“Su Yingxue, you will lose this game!”
Han Yuwen, who never liked to talk nonsense, placed her piece. She was determined to make Su Yingxue lose face.
As the game began, Chu Yihan and Qin Muyan looked worried..
