Chapter 236 Messy Chess Pieces

Xiao Jiuyuan’s words were cold and merciless, and a direct slap to Xiao Tianyi’s face. Xiao Jiuyuan was telling him directly that as a prince, did he have nothing else to do?

If the imperial courts heard about this, those that supported Xiao Tianyi would probably be disappointed again. Maybe some of them would even switch their alliances again.

With a darkened face, Xiao Tianyi couldn’t say anything to rebuke him. Even though he was angry, he couldn’t do anything about it.

Yun Qianyu was very happy to see this, but she didn’t think Xiao Jiuyuan was out to protect her. Xiao Jiuyuan probably didn’t want his name to be tarnished, that’s all.

Although Yun Qianyu felt this way, everyone around her thought that Xiao Jiuyuan was protecting her.

With that, none of the women dared to ridicule Yun Qianyu anymore.

Xiao Jiuyuan, who had always been on the top of the world, had now spoken out for a woman.

Originally, they thought that although Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t reject Yun Qianyu, he might not actually take her to be his princess consort, but now it seemed that he was protecting this fiancee.

Whether he was doing it to protect Yun Qianyu or to protect his name, the people there knew that they couldn’t mess with Yun Qianyu anymore.

Yun Qianxue, who was opposite to Yun Qianyu, saw that Xiao Jiuyuan was protecting Yun Qianyu. Moreover, Xiao Tianyi did not even speak after Xiao Jiuyuan ridiculed him. It could be seen that Xiao Jiuyuan was indeed a powerful person. ‘Xiao Jiuyuan is a real man.’

Yun Qianxue was attracted to Xiao Jiuyuan and envious of Yun Qianyu.

Ignoring other people’s thoughts, Yun Qianyu slowly walked out and randomly picked out a paper slip from the box. After grabbing a paper slip she passed it to the servant girl beside her.

The servant girl opened the note and read, “Chess.”

Many people looked at Yun Qianyu, some were worried, others felt happy.

Among the different talents, chess was not an easy talent. On the contrary, it was much more difficult. The women of various noble families were taught different talents since childhood. However, chess required talent and intelligence. Studying hard did not guarantee a brilliant chess player.

‘Yun Qianyu is really unlucky to get chess.’

Yun Qianyu ignored the crowd and gracefully walked to the chessboard. Grabbing the black and white pieces, she placed them on the board, seemingly in a random manner. In the eyes of the crowd, she seemed like a kid that was just randomly placing the black and white pieces.

After she placed the black and white pieces, the board seemed like a big mess.

After she was done, she nodded slightly at the people around her, and then walked back to her seat. From the beginning to the end, she did not seem arrogant or lowly.

The way she acted gained people’s respect, especially Yan Jinghong and Yan Qingfeng. Yun Qianyu’s demeanor was truly that of a noblewoman, worthy to be a prince’s princess consort.

‘It’s a pity that this cousin of mine gave up on such a woman.’

Xiao Tianyi also saw Yun Qianyu’s demeanor. She seemed completely different, even with a ruined face her aura was impressive.

Staring at Yun Qianyu, Xiao Tianyi thought about Xiao Jiuyuan protecting her, ‘Does Xiao Jiuyuan like her?’

Thinking about it, Xiao Tianyi felt particularly depressed.
