Chapter 65 - 62

"A game of Xiangqi huh, I never expected the entire situation to suddenly become a game." Song Liya muttered.

After speaking with Song Feng Mian, Yu Yingyi decided to head back to her room and explain everything to Song Liya. Surprisingly, Song Liya took everything calmly and well except for the fact that she punished Yu Yingyi by having a full-on make-out session with her.

"You get how it is now?" asked Yu Yingyi for reassurance.

"I do, but that depends if my mother and Jia Xin Yi decide to go against us, what if they support us instead?" asked Song Liya.

"That won't happen because the empress or your mother stated she loved Jia Xin Yi and still does. Although she said that, not everyone can let a grudge go so easily, there's also the part where the empress wants to win this deal where I have to be a male to the public." Yu Yingyi replied.

"That makes sense since Jia Xin Yi loves my mother too, that means she'll support whatever decision my mother makes. They're even more powerful since Jia Xin Yi is also an empress, she has ever plan countered," said Song Liya.

"Exactly, that's why there's something I want to try out," said Yu Yingyi.

"What is it?" asked Song Liya, curiosity filling her.

"I want to gain Jia Xin Yi's favor." Yu Yingyi answered.

Song Liya's eyes went wide, she was in disbelief.

"I know, I know. It sounds crazy since you just said Jia Xin Yi would support whatever decisions the empress makes but, Jia Xin Yi is also a woman." Yu Yingyi added.

"Jia Xin Yi is a woman, I know. What're you trying to say?" asked Song Liya.

"Tsk, tsk, you don't get it? They're literally the same sex and they're into each other. Since we're going to be starting the legalization of same-sex, don't you think Jia Xin Yi would lean towards our side a bit more because she also wishes to be together with the empress?" Yu Yingyi proposed.

Song Liya's eyes widened again, all the gears in her mind started to turn again and everything was starting to make sense.

"But the thing is, how do we get Jia Xin Yi on our side when we barely know her?' asked Song Liya.

"That's where I come in, I'll have a talk with her and she'll accept no matter what." Yu Yingyi replied.

Song Liya narrowed her eyebrows and stared deeper into Yu Yingyi. "Somehow, I don't trust you having a talk with her."

"Why is that?"

"Because it sounds like you're planning to seduce her or something," said Song Liya turning her head away.

Yu Yingyi let out a loud chuckle, it was the most absurd thing she's heard Song Liya say all week.

"Liya, you do know Jia Xin Yi is like a decade older than me right? I'm not into someone who's older than me by ten years, five years is the widest gap I'll go to," said Yu Yingyi.

"Hmph, how would I know?" Song Liya pouted.

"Ah, princess, you're so cute when you act jealous," said Yu Yingyi as she patted Liya's soft head.

"This isn't the time to be flirting or acting cute! This is serious!" Song Liya exclaimed.

"This is the first time I've heard you said that. Oh my, are you that jealous? Alright, I won't have a talk with her then." said Yu Yingyi.

"I didn't say anything about that, you can talk with all you want."

"Alright then, I was going to talk to Jia Xin Yi whether you wanted or didn't want me to anyway."

"...are you perhaps trying to provoke me?"

"Of course not, I'm just saying that this plan had to work with me talking to Jia Xin Yi so I was going to talk to her either way." Yu Yingyi explained.

"That's what I thought, is there anything else that you're supposed to do now?" asked Song Liya.

"Actually, yes, let's go to your sister's room where Jia Yi and your sister are. I need to talk to them." Yu Yingyi replied.

"Although I'd rather stay here and talk to you all day and all night, I guess we can go to my sister's room for your plan." Song Liya said in a slightly complaining tone.

"Don't be so grumpy, we're basically always together no matter how far apart we are. You're constantly on my mind and I'm constantly on your mind, am I right?" asked Yu Yingyi.

"*Sigh* I can't go against something that's true," said Song Liya as she glanced up to meet Yu Yingyi's eyes. "But do you have confidence in this plan? I don't want you to mentally break down when something goes wrong."

"Don't worry, I won't break down. In fact, I'm really confident about this plan, you wanna know why?" Yu Yingyi asked in a teasing tone.

"Why?"

"Because I have the amazing, spectacular, genius, and fierce princess with me. What could go wrong?"

Song Liya smiled at the compliments said to her, she felt her cheeks heat up a bit, she couldn't resist Yu Yingyi.

"Come here," said Song Liya reaching her arms out.

Yu Yingyi instantly understood and sat on Song Liya's lap. Yu Yingyi put her hands on Song Liya's cheeks and planted several soft kisses on her lips. Both of them savoring the taste.

"Yingyi, you shouldn't tease too much unless you want to start something," said Song Liya in a husky tone.

Yu Yingyi felt that she was in danger and quickly backed away from Song Liya and covered her body with her arms.

"Relax, I wasn't going to do anything to you considering the atmosphere in the air right now. Moreover, we have to go to my sister's room right?"

Yu Yingyi felt relieved and rested her arms at her side. "Right, let's go there now, I want to finish discussing the plan today."

"By today...so when are we going to start the plan?"

"After the plan is finished, when else? I want to hurry this up as fast as possible so I could be with you in public without having to hide my intendity.

Song Liya smiled, warmth filled her heart as her heartbeats started to become rapid.

"Let's hurry up and go."

"Suddenly you want to hurry up, is something wrong?"
