Right at this moment, there was a loud sound, followed by a crisp sound like a pearl dropping onto a jade plate, breaking the silence between the two. He looked in the direction of the sound. In the corridor, the two court ladies were standing there dumbfounded, looking like they were about to cry. On the ground, there were pieces and chess boards that had been flipped over. The black and white chess pieces were distinct, giving off a scattered sense of beauty.

However, this scene only left the two young palace maids at a loss.

Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue walked to the corridor. Seeing this, Feng Qing asked, "What happened?"

When the two of them saw Feng Qing, they immediately kneeled on the ground. "Your Highness, please forgive us."

"Answer my question." Feng Chen's cold demeanor caused the two young maidservants to be even more silent. "In reply to Your Highness, this servant is a palace maid from the Snowy Orchid Palace. The Empress and the emperor had a game of chess yesterday, and arranged to set up an ancient chess game today. I hope the emperor can enlighten me, but who would've thought that this cat would come from somewhere and startle this servant. I lost control and scattered the game."

With that, the palace maid also began to cry.

Empress Xue Lan?

Feng Qing thought for a moment and his brows slightly creased.

Then, their eyes fell on the cat they were talking about. It was a black cat. It was sitting in the corner, weak but did not make any sound. Seeing that someone was looking at it, it stood up and wobbled in front of Feng Qing. With a meow, it grabbed onto Feng Qing's robe.

This scene frightened the two palace maids so much that their faces paled.

But in the next second, he saw Feng Qing pick up the cat, and then, the chess piece that was scattered across the board fell down onto it one by one. In a bland voice, she said, "The ancient book of Linglong Sword in the palace, the one on the left is the Thousand Revolution Exquisite Pagoda. Empress Xue Lan is too kind. "

While he was speaking, the ancient book was gradually taking shape.

Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but be shocked.

She knew this game of chess. When he was in the organization, he would often go through some weird antiques. He had seen this chess piece back then as well. She even went to learn chess because of this.

It was said that studying chess could temper a person's personality and calm them down. It was the most suitable game for her.

Very quickly, the man filled up the chess set. However, when he looked at the game, he only frowned.

The two palace maids, on the other hand, survived the calamity and looked at Feng Qing as though they were looking at a god. "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, the Crown Prince is very knowledgeable."

Feng Qing shook his head.

The young palace maid didn't know why Feng Qing was shaking her head, but Mu Ru Yue slightly raised her brows as she suddenly came to a realization while looking at a black chess piece that fell beside her. He then picked up the chess piece and placed it on the upper right side of the board.

"Is Your Highness looking for this chess piece?"

Mu Ru Yue's words made Feng Qing slightly shocked. He turned his head back and his eyes were filled with surprise as he asked, "You know this chess playing manual?"

Mu Ru Yue didn't expect the cold and aloof crown prince to have such an expression. She was stunned for a moment before nodding her head. "I saw it by chance."

"Since you are able to memorize this ancient book, it is likely that you have studied the ancient book as well, no?" Feng Chen asked.

Mu Ru Yue nodded, not showing any modesty.

"In that case, why don't we spar on the spot? I am very interested in this chess book, but I haven't met anyone who knows about it. " Feng Qing looked at the sincere expression on Mu Ru Yue's face, so much so that Mu Ru Yue couldn't reject it.

Mu Ru Yue was also extremely curious. She wanted to know the direction and method of this chess book in the eyes of the ancients. He had forgotten about enmity and rules in an instant. He lightly lifted his skirt and sat on the floor.

Feng Qing was also like her.
