    Qi Yan turned around and saw the chess box on the shelf, and said with a smile: "I haven't played chess with His Highness for a long time. I wonder if Your Highness is interested in talking about a game with me?"

    Nangong Jingnu happily agreed. The two of them did not ask the servants to come in to serve. Nangong Jingnu brought the chessboard, while Qi Yan stood up and took down the chess box from the shelf.

    After opening the box, Qi Yan naturally picked up a sunspot and placed it on the star, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

    In the past, she and Nangong Jingnu played handicap chess, with Qi Yan handing over two to four pieces, and then holding white to go first.

    Seeing Qi Yan¡¯s embarrassed expression, Nangong Jingnu said lightly: ¡°Guess first.¡±

    "Okay." Qi Yan threw the black stones back into the box and pushed the white stones in front of Nangong Jingnu. Nangong Jingnu caught the odd numbers, while Qi Yan caught the even numbers. According to the rules, Nangong Jingnu took the white ones and went first.

    Nangong Jingnu: "Asking for advice." As she said that, she pressed a white stone on the star position in the upper left corner of the chessboard

    On the other side, the court had a different look. It was rare that "Nangong Rang" did not come. The prison prince Nangong Da and the third prince Nangong Wang once again debated the choice of the examiner.

    The examination is to select talents for the final palace examination. It can be said that the examiner is the nominal "mentor" of all candidates this year. Whichever faction masters this is equivalent to monopolizing the talent pool in the court in the next three years.

    The fifth prince Nangongda recommended Gong Yanghuai, the Minister of Rites, as the examiner for this session. The Ministry of Rites had always been responsible for the imperial examinations in the Wei State. Gong Yanghuai was from a noble family and had been selected as the second place, both in terms of qualifications and status.  They all meet the requirements of an examiner. The most important thing is that Gong Yanghuai has now joined Nangong Da's camp

    Even though Qi Yan once wrote to him and told him: Our only mission is to be loyal to the emperor.  The implication is to warn Gong Yanghuai not to take sides easily. The position of the crown prince has not yet been decided, and the battle for the throne is changing. No one knows the answer until the last moment.  There are many lessons learned in history. Every time a new emperor ascends the throne, a large number of officials are replaced. If you want to gain a foothold in the court until the end, the best way is to remain neutral. Only by doing nothing wrong can you be wise and protect yourself

    However, what Gongyang Huai represents in the court is not just him, but the family interests of the entire Gongyang clan.  He is not a very popular minister like Zhongshu Ling Xing Jingfu, and neither side will offend the other easily.

    Although the official status of the Minister of Rites is not low, when the party struggle reaches this stage, if he does not choose a side, he may not be able to keep his hat.

    After deliberation and decision-making by the entire Gongyang clan, Nangongda, the prince of the country, was chosen.

    The third prince, Nangong Wang, recommended Lu Boyuan, the then Minister of Civil Affairs, the eldest son of Taiwei Mansion and the former number one scholar.

    Since the fall of Concubine Hui¡¯s mother¡¯s family and the imprisonment of the second and fourth princes, Lu Boyuan and Nangong Wang have gradually become close friends. Of course, Qi Yan also contributed to this.

    She once gave Nangong Wang a clever plan, asking him to find a way to win the support of the Taiwei Mansion.

    Since Lu Quan complained of illness five years ago, he has rarely gone to court and has been retreating to Tangquan Mountain to recuperate.  This matter could be deceived, but Qi Yan could not deceive others. She knew that Lu Quan wanted to drag the emperor to death in this way.

    As long as Nangong Rang dies, Lu Quan, as the founding father and veteran of two dynasties, and Nangong Rang¡¯s opposite-sex brother, there is no way the new emperor will take action against the Taiwei Mansion again!

    Lu Quan once told his eldest son not to take sides. Unfortunately, Lu Boyuan did not have as keen a sense of politics as his father.  He is a man with great ambitions and is unwilling to live in his father's shadow all his life, so naturally he hits it off with Nangong Wang.

    In Lu Boyuan's view, although Nangong Da is the prince of the prison country and seems to have more advantages than Nangong Wang, these are just appearances.

    First of all, the mother-in-law of the fifth prince is not noble. They are both concubines, but they are not as old as Nangong Wang. The most important thing is that he is disabled. Based on Lu Boyuan's understanding of the emperor: Nangong Wang will never let such a person be easily criticized.  The prince inherited the throne.

    ¡­¡­

    Of course, there are different opinions regarding the selection of the examiner.

    Some veterans of the neutral faction recommended Zhongshu Ling Xing Jingfu, which is the so-called "loyal to the emperor" force.

    But no matter who among the three serves as the examiner, it will have no practical benefit to Nangong Jingnu. What she needs now is someone who can extradite talents to her own camp.

    In Weiming Palace, Nangong Shunu held Qi Yuxiao¡¯s hand and walked on the way to the main hall.

    The little guy was in a good mood today and was bouncing along the way.

    Nangong Shunu, who has always abided by palace rules and etiquette, has never restricted Xiao Yuxiao's nature. Today, she looks a little distracted.

    Suddenly, Nangong Shunu stopped, Qi YuHave you ever thought about losing?  "

    Qi Yan suddenly raised her head, looked directly into Nangong Jingnu's eyes, and whispered: "If I lose, I will let His Highness do whatever he wants."

    Nangong Jingnu opened her mouth, and a sour feeling spread in her chest.

    In fact, she couldn¡¯t explain why she was so obsessed with it. She just wanted to completely defeat Qi Yan. She wanted to win everything Qi Yan was confident about!

    But¡­¡­

    Then what?  What happens after you win?

    Nangong Jingnu never thought about it

    Is it an illusion?  Nangong Jingnu actually read the deep sadness in those amber eyes.

    No matter how he is dealt with, what can he do to Qi Yan?

    Nangong Jingnu failed to understand the meaning of these four words in the end, just like many of the profound words Qi Yan said.

    With her fists tightened again and again, Nangong Jingnu looked directly into Qi Yan's eyes, her red lips parted lightly: "Okay, I promise you."

    "Thank you, Your Highness." Qi Yan smiled, but the sadness in her eyes was a bit stronger.

    Nangong Jingnu: "Tell me, what do you want me to promise you?"

    Qi Yan: "It's on my mind. If I win, I would like to ask Your Highness to tell me what is pressing on your heart." Qi Yan's voice was very soft, with a sense of determination.

    Nangong Jingnu¡¯s heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and her eyes felt a little hot.  It has been too long, too long, and no one has asked me if I have anything on my mind

    The affairs of the court were like a big stone weighing on Nangong Jingnu's heart. No matter how tired or painful she was, she could not share it with anyone.

    Qi Yan did not stipulate what the "worry" was. For a moment, Nangong Jingnu really wanted to let it out!

    Nangong Jingnu looked at the empty space in the corner of the chessboard again. She didn't think she would lose.

    However, if Qi Yan wins

    Nangong Jingnu: "Okay."

    With a "pop" sound, Qi Yan made a decisive move.

    Qi Yan: "Then it's settled."
