The 17th Five-in-a-Row Championship

  Li Chengqian has always thought that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is like a modern soap opera, full of emotions and romance, catering to women. Women enjoy these spiritual substances with their inexplicable properties, crying and laughing, just like children love to eat junk food like KFC.

  Li Chengqian's grandmother, mother, younger aunt and wife, these four women represent the attitude of despising him for this theory. How can a fish know the joy of water if it is not a fish?

  Li Chengqian has always been spiritually disdainful of "Dream of the Red Chamber", but he is only spiritually free, and extremely unfree in his actions. When he and his younger sister were in junior high school, his sister fell in love with "Dream of the Red Chamber". She not only read it herself but also made Li Chengqian follow her to watch it together. So from junior high school to high school, he watched "Dream of the Red Chamber" twice. In college, in order to pursue his wife, he reviewed "Dream of the Red Chamber" once again. After getting married, he and his wife watched it twice more with a mix of pain and joy. As for TV dramas, he has lost count of how many episodes he has seen.

  At that time, Li Chengqian would never have thought that he would travel through time and space to the Tang Dynasty, and then share "Dream of Red Mansions" with women in the Tang Dynasty ahead of time, becoming a friend of women for a while!

  Li Chengqian had just finished lecturing on Chapter 1 of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and several princesses and young women excitedly shouted for him to lecture on Chapter 2.

  "What excitement!" Li Chengqian saw that the Empress was still in good spirits, her eyes full of anticipation, and decided to continue with the second part, "Listen carefully, the second part, Mrs. Jia..."

  "The Empress Dowager, the wife of Grandson Wang has come to pay her respects and is waiting outside." At this time, a eunuch walked in and said.

  Li Chengqian stopped and saw the empress, who had heard this person's words, close her eyes wearily for two seconds before opening them again. Li Chengqian felt a hint of sharp light flash through her gaze, and her temperament and aura suddenly became much stronger, truly befitting an empress!

  She said: "Please come in, sister-in-law."

  Li Chengqian heard the Empress address someone as "sister-in-law", and realized that the visitor must be his aunt.

  When guests arrived, more than half of Li Chengqian's female readers dispersed. The palace maids left first, then several princesses consciously avoided and also left. Only Li Chengqian, Su He, and one princess remained.

  After a while, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in from outside, with a warm smile on her face and a loving gaze sweeping over Li Chengqian's three juniors. She then bowed to the empress on the bed: "Princess Wang Zhaojun pays respects to Your Majesty."

  "Sister-in-law, no need for such courtesy with Guanyin, get up quickly."

  Guanyin is the childhood name of the Empress Dowager.

  The queen's gaze turned to Li Chengqian and the others, instructing them, "Don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your aunt?"

  "Chengqian has seen his aunt," said Li Chengqian.

  Su He and the princess also asked Li Chengqian with the same sentence pattern, and the princess called herself "Lizhi".

  "Chengqian and the Crown Prince's consort, as well as Chang Le, can stay by the Empress' side, it's truly filial!" Longsun Wangshi praised them affectionately, "They're really good kids!"

  "It should be!" Li Chengqian said modestly.

  The queen said: "Chengqian, you all go out first, I have something to say to your mother and your aunt."

  "Yes."

  After leaving the bedroom, the princess excitedly pulled Li Chengqian's hand: "Imperial brother, where did you hear so many good stories? They're getting better and better!"

  "Heh heh, are you Chang Le?" Li Chengqian remembered that Su He had mentioned before that Princess Chang Le was his younger sister from the same mother, and also the eldest among them.

  "My younger sister's name is Li Lijun. Father Emperor conferred upon me the title of Princess Chang Le." The elder sister smiled, and that small round face looked very pretty.

  They walked to the small hall, and unexpectedly, several princesses had not left. Seeing Li Chengqian come out, they hurriedly surrounded him: "Imperial brother, imperial brother, we still want to hear you tell us about Dream of Red Mansions, you tell us!"

  Li Chengqian sat down on the couch, and Xiao Chen poured him a glass of boiled water. He drank half a cup before saying to the women surrounding him: "Wait for Mother to arrive too, I don't want to repeat myself."

  "Ah?" The little women were disappointed.

  There was a person who wouldn't give up, holding onto Li Chengqian's arm and shaking it while acting spoiled: "Imperial brother, we know you're the best, so just tell us!"

  "No way." Li Chengqian's nose twitched, "You smell so good, what's your name?"

  "Hehe, my sister is called He Pu Gong Zhu, Li Shu!" Li Shu proudly took out a small golden ball, "This is the Ling Hua Niao Ming Jin Xun Ball that Father Emperor gave me yesterday, it smells so good!"

  The other princesses looked at the golden ball with envy, and Li Yu's vanity was greatly satisfied.

  The elder sister pouted, holding onto Li Chengqian's other hand, and looked at Li Yu with a pleased expression, coquettishly saying: "Imperial brother, I want to hear a story."

  "No way." Li Chengqian treated everyone equally, "Let's wait and listen with Mother later. Now let's find a game to relieve boredom. What games can be played here? Playing chess, is there a chess set?"

  Big sister should say: "Go chess. Royal brother, sister and you play a game of Go!"

  "Go? I don't know how." Li Cheng conceded defeat.

  The princesses suddenly remembered that Li Chengqian had lost his soul and was showing signs of sadness.

  Wow, the sisterly affection among these young women is really deep!

  Li Yu proposed: "Let's play a game of shooting arrows into a pot. If the Emperor loses, he has to tell us stories."

  "What is a spittoon?"

  "Shooting a pot, also called throwing a pot, involves placing a wine jug five feet away and using an arrow without an arrowhead to shoot at it by hand. Whoever gets their arrow in wins," said the big sister with great interest.

  Does this sound like I've been cheated by myself in my past life for over a dozen times?

  Li Chengqian shook his head: "No play."

  Several princesses suddenly lost interest.

  "How about we flip a coin?"

  Li Chengqian turned his head and asked her inquiringly. Su Hong said gently, "Guessing the number of pieces is to hide the chess pieces with your hands and let you guess how many there are."

  Too childish! Li Chengqian thought, this is Su E who was afraid that he wouldn't be good at playing Go and shooting marbles, those two high-level games, so he came up with a simple one.

  Li Chengqian was moved and immediately said with a shock: "I'll teach you all to play Go, Little Chen, bring the Go board."

  "Go?" The little women were stunned, and when Little Chen brought out the Go board, they all gathered around.

  It's indeed an imperial family item, even the Go board is made of sandalwood. If it were to be sold in modern times, this small stool-like Go board, without considering its historical value, would likely cost hundreds of millions!

  "Second Brother, aren't you going to play Go? Why are you staring at the board with your mouth watering?" Big Sister said in a low voice.

  "Oh, no... How embarrassing! Cough, Go is very simple, like this, like that... Did you understand?"

  "It sounds like a lot of fun!" Big sister saw that the other young women were still in doubt, so she rushed to the other side of the chessboard and said, "Brother, let's play a game first!"

  "Go ahead."

  Hmph, you block me, I'll block you back.

  As the number of pieces on the board increased, Dajie supported her pretty forehead with her hand, and her slender eyebrows were twisted together.

  The women standing around watching were very unkind, although their expressions showed concern for the big sister, they would point at her and then withdraw their hands, biting their small white teeth on their plump pink lips, looking very conflicted!

  "Don't worry, you all come together, I won't think that you're ganging up on me!" Li Chengqian said with a big smile.

  Li Yu's small mouth curled up, "Father Emperor taught us, watch chess without speaking..."

  Another loli joined in, "…True woman!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, several princesses and young women burst out laughing together, covering their small mouths with their hands, their sleeves fluttering wildly, the sound they made like dozens of silver bells ringing together on a wind chime.

  "Here is where you are the most stupid!" Li Chengqian teased her.

  Li Yu glared with wide eyes in discontent.

  "Watching chess... This chess is a shortened term for Go, right? So what should I call this, Five-in-a-Row or Go?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

  Li Yu and several young women were stunned.

  "Go is all about surrounding each other, you surround me and I surround you, until one of us dies. This five-stone go..." He stretched out a hand, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and said forcefully, "It's about uniting all forces to let the weak defeat the strong, that's what makes this five-stone go interesting and fun!"

  He slowly said: "What does it mean for you to die and me to live?"

  The little women looked at each other and then noticed Su He's stifled smile beside Li Chengqian, humming: "Crooked reasoning."

  "Big brother......" Da Jie said with a bitter face at this time, "I give up!"

  She pointed at the chessboard, "Here, here, and here, there are four or five places where if you just make one more move, brother would win, but brother has been letting me win all along!"

  Li Yuanyang jumped up and said: "Fifth sister, let me play a game with the emperor!"

  The elder sister smiled and gave way, Li Yu sat down, a kind of general's majestic and bold aura burst out from her body!

  "The little girl has a very strong murderous aura." Li Chengqian smiled lightly, unaffected, "Bring the horse over!"

  Clang, clang, you block me, I'll block you, you chase me, I'll kill you. This little girl has a set of skills, much better than Big Sister, but after all, she's just a beginner, thinking of beating Li Chengqian this old bird is still too early!

  When a man is surrounded by a group of women for some time, there is always the scent of cosmetics in the air. If someone of the same sex approaches at this time, he will feel very sensitive to it. So when Li Zhi squeezed in, Li Chengqian immediately discovered him.

  "Where's Xiao Er?" Li Chengqian asked again, blocking Li Yu's way and making her furious. She was about to explode with anger, but at the same time, she lightly moved her lips and asked Li Zhi.

  "I've seen the Emperor, but the young prince is tired from playing and has gone to sleep." Li Zhi said formally.

  His eyes were fixed on the chessboard, his gaze very intense.

  "Want to play?" Li Chengqian asked, "A man, what's with the hesitation? Come and replace your brother!"

  Before Li Zhi had a chance to respond, he was already scooped up by Li Chengqian and placed in his arms, then handed a chess piece.

  This little boy is a bit timid, the chess pieces are all in his hands, and he still wants to glance at Li Shu opposite him. Li Shu, this little tiger, is going crazy, with a fierce glint in her eyes. The little boy was startled and was about to jump into Li Chengqian's arms.

  Li Chengqian patted him on the back: "What's there to be afraid of? The little tiger can't show off his might!"

  Then Li Chengqian still grasped his hand and put the chess piece down.
