The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671: 318 Glory (First Update)

The Imperial Palace, where the moon rises over the treetops.

The crown princess sat kneeling on the floor that exuded a faint woody fragrance, and right in front of her was a low rectangular table on which a chessboard was prominently placed.

The crown princess was not a person who was particularly fond of the hustle and bustle. The East Palace was usually quite tranquil, but only when Qin Chuyu was there, it would be somewhat lively. However, in recent days, Qin Chuyu had moved to the Emperor’s Huaqing Palace.

So, the East Palace once again became as peaceful as a beautiful, undisturbed pond.

The palace maids stood by the crown princess’s side, focusing their eyes on their noses and their noses on their minds, not making a single sound.

Suddenly, a snap sound echoed as a chess-piece hit the chessboard. The crown princess breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, "Finally."

Only then did the palace maids dare to look at her. A lady-in-waiting who served her closely said with a smile, "Crown Princess, what finally happened?"

The crown princess’ eyes shimmered with joy as she said, "I have finally cracked this chess game."

"Which game did you crack?"

The crown prince came striding in.

The lady-in-waiting and all the palace maids knelt in unison, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

As the crown princess was about to stand up to pay her respects, she was stopped by the crown prince, who quickly walked up to her.

The crown prince took her hand and sat down next to her. He looked at the chessboard on the table and said, "You’ve been playing chess again?"

"With nothing much to do, I played a few rounds," replied the crown princess.

The crown prince chuckled and said, "I think you play every day. Do you love chess so much that you spend more time with the chessboard than you do with me?"

The crown princess gently replied, "The crown prince is teasing."

"I’m not joking. I’m really getting jealous," the crown prince said, but his eyes and gestures were full of love for the crown princess. He gripped her hand tightly and asked her, "You didn’t answer my question earlier. What chess game did you solve?"

The crown prince didn’t really have much interest in playing chess. But if it was something related to the crown princess, he would take it very seriously.

Pointing to the chessboard with her other hand that wasn’t held by him, the crown princess said, "This one, the Kun game."
