Dragon Roar Hall.

Ambergris is burning in the antique dragon-mouth incense burner.

The lingering fragrance wafted out from the mouths of the nine dragons.

The entire Dragon Roar Hall is filled with a sweet fragrance, which makes people feel like they are strolling in a garden full of blooming flowers, which is refreshing.

Murong Qinghong was playing chess with a man with a mask on his face.

The chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him had been eaten by the masked man and there were only a few left.

The masked man sat upright, playing with a chess piece in his hand.

Because he was wearing a mask, no expression could be seen on his face. He only had a pair of eyes like a cold pond, looking at Murong Qinghong with a playful look.

Murong Qinghong frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought.

I felt like I saw a ghost.

When I watched the little maid playing chess with Minister Yang's daughter in Chaoyang Palace, I saw that her style of play was vigorous and her moves were fierce, and she defeated Minister Yang's daughter without any chance to fight back or defend herself.

How come this method doesn't work for me? It's really weird.

While Murong Qinghong was stunned, the last chess piece was taken away by the masked man.

Murong Qinghong raised his head blankly, looking confused.

How come his chess skills have improved so quickly even though I haven't played against him for a while?

"Junior brother, there is no outsider here, so take that thing off your face? It is an eyesore."

"Your Majesty, I will not take it off. I find it very comfortable wearing it and don't find it a nuisance at all." The masked man said coldly.

What a joke! I wasn't allowed to take it off when the little girl was around, and now you say it's in the way. I have to wear it anyway and it's an eyesore to you.

"Stingy! I just want to see if you two have any tacit understanding, to see if the little girl can recognize you."

"Then, in your opinion, Your Majesty, did the little girl recognize me?" Gu Hantian said coldly.

Murong Qinghong pondered for a while and shook his head: "I don't think I can recognize you. If I recognize you, why wouldn't the little girl recognize you?"

Gu Hantian thought about it and the little girl staggered and threw herself at him, but before he could reach out his hand, she ran away with a sweet laugh.

There is also a little girl who always raises her eyebrows and winks at me.

The little girl must have recognized me!

If she's having a bad temper, I'll have to put in some effort to coax her.

It’s all the emperor’s fault. He summoned me back from Lanhai County and the only condition was that I had to wear this troublesome mask and not let me meet the little girl.

Haha, I didn’t expect that the emperor would have such a bad taste.

"Junior brother, I haven't seen you for a year. Why do I feel that your chess style has changed?" Murong Qinghong asked Gu Hantian while looking at the chessboard, "Why do I feel that your chess style is a bit similar to that of the little girl?"

Gu Hantian said proudly: "Don't they say that people get redder when they are around red people, and blacker when they are around black people?

When I had nothing to do in Lanhai County, I played chess with the little girl many times. I was influenced by her bold and decisive style of play.

Your Majesty, even you can’t stop this.”

"It's not that it can't be stopped, it's that it's simply vulnerable." Murong Qinghong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "When we usually play chess, we are always very careful, for fear of making a wrong move and giving others an opportunity to take advantage.

I've never seen a little girl fight like this without caring about anything and rushing forward all the way."

"Haha, the little girl's way of playing often has the effect of taking the opponent by surprise. Plus, the little girl's chess skills are very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to cope with her." Gu Hantian looked proud.

Murong Qinghong looked at his junior fellow apprentice, who was taking advantage of him and acting like a good boy, and really wanted to slap him.

There are three thousand beauties in my harem, but there is not a single one I like. It’s really depressing to think about it.

"Junior brother, when are you two going to get married?"

When Gu Hantian, who was looking very proud, heard the emperor ask this, he became speechless.

The little girl always says that she is still young and hasn't played enough.

When will the little girl have enough fun and be willing to marry me?

In his eyes, the little girl is not small at all, and she is very attractive!

Murong Qinghong looked at Gu Hantian who looked like he had no words to express his grievances.

He asked jokingly, "What's the matter? Could it be that the little girl still doesn't want to marry you?

I never thought that a hard and smelly stone like you would end up being held tightly in the hands of a little girl. Hahahaha!"

Murong Qinghong then felt that the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot, and he laughed out loud.

Gu Hantian threw away the chess piece he was playing with, stood up and walked out.

"Junior brother, where are you going?"

"We have been traveling non-stop for several days, so I am going to take a rest.

Get enough rest to watch my little girl's wonderful performance the next day." Gu Hantian walked away without looking back.

Gu Hantian has a separate small palace in the palace, where he lived when he was the emperor's tutor.

Even though you have been in Lanhai County for such a long time, there are palace servants who clean the house regularly, so you can just move in directly.

Gu Hantian returned to the palace where he lived, stood at the door of the palace, looked at the three words "Xiao Yun Palace" on the plaque, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

There is really a deep connection between me and this word "Yun".

Songyan stood at the palace gate eagerly waiting for her own master.

But when the young master had reached the palace gate, he suddenly stopped, as if he had seen a ghost, and smiled gently.

Songyan looked around quietly, wondering if the young master was possessed by something.

There are many innocent ghosts in the palace, especially young and beautiful female ghosts.

The red lantern hanging in front of the door swayed in the breeze, like the bloody mouth of the female ghost.

Songyan shuddered all over, goosebumps all over the ground, and felt a gust of cold wind.

"Son!"

Song Yan shouted as he quickly took a few steps towards Gu Hantian and came to meet him.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Gu Hantian looked at Song Yan's flustered look and made a joking remark.

It would have been better if Gu Hantian didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, Song Yan grabbed Gu Hantian's sleeve.

Gu Hantian frowned: "Song Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Songyan smiled embarrassedly.

He quickly let go of Gu Hantian's sleeve: "Sir, it's nothing. I'll help you drain the water, you can take a bath and then rest quickly. After traveling for so many days, even the strongest person can't stand it."

Songyan said this and quickly slipped away.

Gu Hantian shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to Song Yan, who was so jumpy.

When he arrived at the bathroom, he saw that Song Yan had already prepared the bath water. Gu Hantian took off his robe, stepped into the bathtub and slid in.

The black hair swayed with the waves, and the skin as white as fine porcelain was faintly visible in the waves.

With his whole body wrapped in warm water, Gu Hantian sighed comfortably.

When I closed my eyes, what came into my mind was a little girl with bells tied to her bare feet and her delicate wrists, dancing passionately on a small drum.

The tight dance skirt showed off the little girl's proud curves.

Those lively eyes are charming and passionate, making people want to drown in her gentle gaze.

The passionate and unrestrained drum beats and the ringing bells seem to still ring in my ears.

Feeling itchy under his nose, Gu Hantian reached out to wipe it, and his hand was covered in blood.

Since we parted, I have been thinking of our meeting. I have been with you in my dreams many times.

Gu Hantian smiled softly as he knew he could see his beloved girl again the next day.
