The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 934 - 518: The Bet Between An Ning and Xiao Jinxing, Sweet (Third Update)
An Ning rarely blushes.
As someone from the apocalypse, being made to blush and feel heated by an ancient person in such a matter, she felt humiliated.
But in front of so many palace attendants, many words ultimately couldn’t be spoken.
How could Xiao Jinxing be this thick-skinned?
She suddenly got up from the soft couch, "I’m tired, I’m going to sleep."
Xiao Jinxing watched An Ning looking a bit flustered.
He would rather have her dislike him and be angry with him now than have her deliberately distant, indifferent and lukewarm.
"Your Majesty, does the Empress mean for you to... sow seeds?" Ping Eunuch asked shakily.
The lotus seed soup in Xiao Jinxing’s hand almost fell to the ground.
Ping Eunuch quickly said with deference, "This servant spoke wrongly, this servant should die."
"Enough, enough, withdraw." Xiao Jinxing commanded.
"This servant takes leave." Ping Eunuch quickly got up.
Then he called for all the palace attendants in the room to leave together.
Xiao Jinxing placed the lotus seed soup on the tea table.
His fingers seemed to tremble slightly.
He stood up and walked into the inner hall.
An Ning had already taken off her outer garments and was sitting at the dressing table, combing her hair.
The palace attendant serving An Ning saw the Emperor approaching and quickly bowed and left.
An Ning looked at Xiao Jinxing through the copper mirror.
Watching him walk up behind her and naturally take the comb from her hand.
An Ning frowned.
Xiao Jinxing smoothly helped her comb her sleek long hair.
Back in the apocalypse, An Ning actually didn’t have long hair, it was only at shoulder length and she found it hard to manage.
Now with Ye Qichi’s long, black, smooth hair, she actually grew fond of it.
"Are you tired?" Xiao Jinxing asked while combing her hair.
"Not tired."
Having slept too long in the afternoon, she really didn’t feel sleepy.
"Do you want to play a game of chess with me?" Xiao Jinxing requested.
"Black and white chess?"
"Yes."
"I’m an expert." An Ning reminded him.
"Give it a try."
"Just playing chess feels dull." An Ning suddenly said, "Why don’t we make a wager?"
"Alright."
"Best of three. If I win, you will not sleep here tonight." An Ning said directly.
"And if you lose?"
"I won’t lose." An Ning said confidently.
Because An Ning’s grandfather liked playing chess, and to get good medicine from him, she always had to use chess bets to win, having researched the game thoroughly, it was impossible to lose.
"What if you do?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Up to you," An Ning assured, unconcerned.
"Kiss me voluntarily," Xiao Jinxing said.
"Deal." An Ning agreed readily.
The first thing wasn’t a big deal, and secondly, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t win.
"The kind that involves tongue," Xiao Jinxing added.
An Ning turned to look at Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered, his gaze falling on her hair.
The book also said Xiao Jinxing was of the ascetic type.
Even when he reconciled with Bai Mowan later, he was courteous in bed.
Did she accidentally press some hidden button with her transmission?!
"Then I need to add a condition," An Ning wasn’t about to suffer a loss.
"Go ahead."
"Not just tonight, but for three days, you can’t come to my bedroom."
"Alright," Xiao Jinxing agreed readily.
The two of them started immediately.
Soon, they were sitting beside the chessboard, playing seriously.
The first game.
Xiao Jinxing lost quickly.
In less than a stick of incense, the board was all lost.
An Ning smiled smugly.
Xiao Jinxing’s expression was serious, but it was unclear how he felt.
Anyway, An Ning thought this guy must be panicking inside!
The second game began.
An Ning used her array to lure Xiao Jinxing into making mistakes.
It took half an hour for her to make Xiao Jinxing lose just now, but this time she planned to make him lose in ten minutes, doubting life!
However.
After a whole two hours,
She used so many arrays, set such a big trap, yet Xiao Jinxing didn’t fall for it even once.
She couldn’t help but look up at Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing sensed her gaze, also looked up at her.
His lips curled into a smile, voice magnetic and warm, "Please continue, madam."
An Ning gritted her teeth.
Knowing well that during a chess game, one should not be rash.
Panicking would lead to incomplete considerations and falling into the opponent’s trap.
She took a deep breath.
After considering, she made her move.
Just as she placed the piece, An Ning saw Xiao Jinxing’s lips lift into a smile.
Damn!
At that instant, An Ning realized she had made a wrong move.
Clearly falling into Xiao Jinxing’s trap.
This guy is really sneaky.
She saw Xiao Jinxing’s slender fingers slowly placing a piece, and then... the board was set.
"One more game," An Ning said directly.
Meaning, don’t get smug.
Xiao Jinxing smiled elegantly and gently.
The third game began.
An Ning knew Xiao Jinxing wasn’t easy to fool, so she played more steadily.
In the first game, Xiao Jinxing didn’t understand her tactics and fell into her trap quickly.
In the second game, Xiao Jinxing learned from experience, became cautious, and played steadily, while she was too eager and lost to him.
In the third game, it was truly a test of mutual chess skills.
Both were fully focused.
Time passed quietly between them.
Unknowingly how long.
Outside the lattice window, the sky turned from pitch black to slightly light. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The last game remained unresolved.
An Ning yawned.
Not because of sleepiness.
Playing chess with Xiao Jinxing didn’t allow for drowsiness.
Drowsiness meant losing.
It was her first time meeting an equal in chess.
Her grandfather, a chess enthusiast, used to fall into her traps repeatedly.
However, Xiao Jinxing could see through her tricks.
He always avoided her pitfalls effortlessly.
"Tired?" Xiao Jinxing’s eyes were clearly on the chessboard, yet he noticed all her thoughts.
While she dared not be distracted for a moment.
"So why don’t you surrender and admit defeat?" An Ning yawned again.
She was indeed somewhat tired.
Her whole body felt stiff.
"That’s not possible," Xiao Jinxing said directly.
An Ning rolled her eyes.
Knew well people like him would never really let her win.
"I plan to live at Fengqi Palace in the future."
"..." An Ning instantly, was full of energy.
Xiao Jinxing watched her, smiling again.
Ping Eunuch was naturally accompanying and serving all along.
After all, it’s not sowing season.
He just wanted to sigh; ever since the Empress, since Princess Youyou and Prince Luming entered the palace, the Emperor’s smile hasn’t ceased.
Even if the Empress treated him with cold indifference.
Ping Eunuch suddenly dared not imagine, if someday, the Empress, along with the princess and prince, left the Imperial Palace again.
What would become of the Emperor?!
Afraid more ruthless than a walking dead.
"Alright." Xiao Jinxing placed a piece.
An Ning’s eyes widened.
She hadn’t seen how Xiao Jinxing won, and when she figured it out, she was truly blocked, losing completely!
