The first round was chess. Shangguan Lingluosuggested the first round to be chess because her chess skills were personallytaught by Taizi. Even the Emperor was full of praise for Taizi's chess skills.

But once she played with Zi You, Shangguan Lingluoquickly lost the intiative. She was forced to retreat by Zi You and could only resist,but not fight back.

Zi You looked at Shangguan Lingluo wrinkling herforehead, Shangguan LingRan scratching his head, and Taizi deeply frowning. Shesecretly sneered.

No matter how good your chess skills are, they'rejust good on paper. But I learned mine from grandfather. I not only usedmilitary tactics but practiced them with uncle and the slaves. Although Icannot fight on the battlefield, but my skills are still better than yours thathave no real combat experience, right?

Sure enough, before a quarter of an hour later, ShangguanLingluo lost all her pieces and was utterly defeated.

This was something the arrogant gongzhu did notexpect. Her powdered face turned from white to red. Her almond eyes seemed tobe able to spray fire.

The outcome had been decided. Those who knew chesscould tell that the black pieces were surrounded to death by the white pieces.

Shangguan Lingluo could only gnash her teeth. "Thesecond round is calligraphy. Bengong does not believe that Bengong will losethis."

Taizi stepped out to say, "How about this? Let'scombine this round with poetry. You each write a qilu [verse form of eightlines of seven syllables, with rhymes on alternative lines] about autumn. ThisTaizi will judge. Mu Xiaojie wouldn't not trust this Taizi, right?"

I really don't trust you. Just looking at Shangguan Lingluo'sunruliness and willfulness, no one can rest assured with your personalintegrity.

But if you want to be biased in public and damageyour own reputation, then it's not my problem.

Zi You was inwardly two-faced, but nodded on theoutside. "Chennu believes that Taizi will be an impartial judge."
