Li Lizhi had forgotten to ask for Fu Su's name and background because she had been talking to him.
"Who is he?"
Li Lizhi looked at the chess set on the table, her limpid eyes filled with endless curiosity.
From Fu Su's temperament, speech, and talent, she could tell that he was definitely a descendant of a big family. However, she had no impression of him at all. Could he have come from somewhere else?
To be able to create his own chess, such a person could not be a nobody.
Just as Li Lizhi was deep in thought, the butler had already sent Fu Su and Zhang Yi away and returned to the garden.
But before he could say anything, Li Lizhi stepped forward and asked,""Butler Chen, who were those two guests just now?”
"The two guests?"
Butler Chen was slightly stunned, but he did not hide it. He replied,"Their backgrounds are not small. The older one is the Right Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Zhang Yi.”
"When he was studying in Chang 'an, he received guidance from the old master, so he came to visit.”
" I didn't expect that the once down-and-out young man would actually become the famous Right Prime Minister of the State of Qin. Fate is truly unpredictable…"
The butler sighed. He had a deep impression of Zhang Yi.
" He's the Right Prime Minister of the State of Qin?!"
Li Lizhi's eyes widened. She didn't expect the ordinary-looking middle-aged man to have such an identity.
But if that middle-aged man was the Right Prime Minister of the State of Qin, could that white-robed youth be…
Thinking of this, Li Lizhi's heart trembled.
"Butler Chen, who is that handsome young master in a white robe? Could he be Young Master Qin, Fu Su?”
The maid asked in surprise.
She asked the question on behalf of Li Lizhi.
"This…this little one is not sure, but that young master seems to be Minister Zhang's junior.”
"Young Master Qin's status is so noble, why would he come personally to pay a visit?”
Butler Chen shook his head and said.
No matter what, Young Master Qin was still the crown prince of a country. Although Kong Yingda was famous, she did not have the face to invite him to visit.
Hearing this, Li Lizhi sighed in her heart. An indescribable emotion spread in her heart.
Yes, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Li Lizhi felt a little disappointed. She went forward to put away the chess set and left.
"Your Highness, your book…"
Butler Chen wanted to stop Li Lizhi, but she had already walked far away with the maid.
He was left standing on the spot, confused.
……
On the other side.
On the carriage back to the Chamberlain of Dependencies, Fu Su looked at the street outside the carriage, but his gaze was somewhat erratic.
For some reason, the stunning beauty of the young girl he had seen at the Residence of Confucius kept appearing in his mind.
This was what it meant to be unforgettable.
Zhang Yi was sitting opposite Fu Su. When he saw Fu Su in a daze, he opened his mouth and said,"" The turtledove at the pass, on the continent of the river, a graceful lady, a gentleman's good match…"
Fu Su retracted his gaze and saw Zhang Yi's mischievous smile.
"The Prime Minister is really in a good mood to tease this Young Master.”
Fu Su said helplessly.
Naturally, he knew that Zhang Yi had recited that poem to him to tease him.
"Young Master has already written his thoughts on his face, this official is only saying it.”
Zhang Yi laughed out loud.
"That lady just now is indeed a rare beauty. If I were twenty years younger, I would also fall in love with you. It's normal for Young Master to be moved.”
"Why? Do you want me to find out which family's daughter that girl is from in Chang 'an?”
Although he sounded like he was joking, he was not joking.
As long as Fu Su was willing, he would get someone to investigate his background.
However, Fu Su shook his head and refused. He said indifferently,""There's no need. Although it's fate that we met, there's no need to disturb others.”
"Besides, there are more important things to do.”
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved by the girl he saw at the Residence of Confucius. No man could reject that beauty.
However, Fu Su was very rational.
He came to Chang 'an for the alliance and marriage. He wanted to marry the princess of Tang. He did not want to bring unnecessary trouble to the alliance of the two countries and affect the interests of Qin.
Everything was for Great Qin!
Looking at Fu Su's expression, the admiration in Zhang Yi's eyes grew stronger.
It was only at this moment that he truly recognized Fu Su's potential to replace Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, and become the ruler of Great Qin!
Everyone in the world had desires.
Fools indulge their desires, ascetics restrain their desires, and wise men restrain their desires.
Kings were different from all three. Kings couldn't be without desires, but they could use greater desires to cover up all small desires. This was the fundamental difference!
Fu Su's ambition was to revive Great Qin. Compared to this goal, everything else was insignificant.
Fu Su did not know that he had unintentionally passed Zhang Yi's test and had truly obtained the approval of this wise minister of the State of Qin. He continued to chat and laugh with him.
The carriage traveled on the wide official road, as if it was heading towards a bright future.
Everything had a bright future.
……
After Li Lizhi went back, she asked people to make many sets of Chinese chess that Fu Su had given her. Then, she gave them to some nobles and national chess players.
Because she felt that Chinese chess was not much worse than Go and should not be buried like this.
The Eldest Princess of the Great Tang was quite famous, and the new chess pieces that she had personally promoted had attracted a lot of attention.
Different from Chinese chess, Go had a high threshold and upper limit. Moreover, it was very boring for ordinary people.
However, the threshold of Chinese chess was low, and it did not require much in-depth study to master it. Moreover, the mysteries of it were quite deep and involved the art of war.
Even some of the national Go players had a high evaluation of Chinese chess. They believed that although it was not as profound as Go, it contained the art of war and was quite unique.
Therefore, chess quickly spread among the noble circles in Chang 'an and the upper class.
In just a few days, Chinese chess had become popular in Chang 'an!
The concubines in the palace were even more interested.
There was no entertainment in the palace, and it was extremely boring on weekdays. The appearance of Chinese chess was undoubtedly a good way to pass the time. Not only was it more interesting than Go, but it also sounded elegant.
As a result, almost all the concubines in the palace had a set. When they had nothing to do, they would invite each other to play chess, or pull the servant maids and eunuchs to play chess, playing happily.
