Shaohua is Junqing

After the emperor left, Yan Haiyun also wanted to leave, but before he could open his mouth, Siyu said first: "Young Master Yan, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, just play in the palace for a while."

"I'm fine. The princess asked me to stay, so I stayed." Yan Haiyun was so happy when Shao Hua asked him to stay a little longer. Even if he was asked to go to work, he would be happy to do so.

"Master Xiaoyan, can you play chess?"

"I know a thing or two."

"Mr. Xiaoyan has always been very modest. If you say you know a thing or two, then you must be very powerful."

"I dare not, I dare not." Yan Haiyun said hurriedly.

"How about we play a game together? I'm learning it recently."

"of course can."

Beitang Mo Ran was listening and watching from the side and couldn't help but laugh. This girl was finding someone to practice on again.

Caidie brought the chessboard and chess pieces, and Siyu and Yan Haiyun started playing.

Beitang Mo Ran sat aside, drinking tea and watching the two of them play chess.

Although Yan Haiyun's chess skills were not as good as Beitang Mo Ran's, they were much better than Si Yu who had just started. Not long after the first game, Si Yu got into trouble and naturally lost in the end. After playing two more games, Si Yu still lost all of them, which made Yan Haiyun very embarrassed and begged: "Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"It's normal to win and lose in chess. I lost because I'm not good at chess. What's your crime? Master Xiaoyan, you're being too serious."

"The princess' chess skills have improved. Let's play another game." Beitang Mo Ran said lightly from the side.

He thought that although Siyu said she didn't care, she must feel bad after losing three games in a row. This would easily undermine her enthusiasm and self-confidence. Siyu completed the first three games independently, so he suggested playing another game to help her out.

"Okay, let's play another round."

Beitang Mo Ran had this thought, and so did Yan Haiyun. He had already planned to let the princess win the next game. In fact, winning or losing was not important to him at all. It was such a wonderful thing to be able to eat and play chess with the person he loved.

The fourth game of chess began. Beitang Mo Ran and Yan Hai Yun both wanted to help Si Yu, but she didn't know and was concentrating entirely on the chessboard.

Siyu was holding the black piece. When she was about to make a move, Beitang Mo Ran coughed lightly. Siyu turned to look at him. He shook his head slightly, indicating that she should not make a move at that place. Siyu frowned slightly in confusion, turned her head to look at the chessboard, and thought seriously, but she did not make a move on the black piece in her hand.

Beitang Mo Ran and Yan Hai Yun were both very patient people. Seeing that Si Yu was thinking about how to make her move, they did not urge her but watched and waited quietly.

After thinking for a while, Siyu found another place to place the chess piece and placed it there without hesitation.

Siyu played this game of chess extremely seriously and spent a long time thinking, so this game took longer than the total time of the previous three games, but no one complained about the long time.

"Congratulations, Princess, you've won half a piece." Caidie said happily after carefully counting the chess pieces on the board.

"Really? I really won, you didn't count wrong?" Siyu couldn't believe that she could win.

"I counted carefully twice, and it is true that the princess won half a piece. If the princess doesn't believe me, you can ask the prince. The prince has been watching from the side."

Upon hearing this, Siyu turned to look at Beitang Mo Ran, her bright eyes shining with anticipation.

Beitang Mo Ran smiled and nodded at her. Si Yu got his affirmation and jumped up from her chair happily, "Great, I won."

"Congratulations, Princess." Yan Haiyun stood up and bowed.

"It seems that I am not a bad student. I still have some talent and I have made some progress."

"The princess is a beginner, but to be able to reach this level, she is truly talented." Yan Haiyun said.

"I learn Go just to play it for fun when I have nothing to do. I won't participate in any big competitions. As long as I don't get beaten too badly, that's fine."

"Si Yu, you've played several games of chess in a row, you must be very tired. Go back to your room and rest for a while. It's getting dark." Beitang Mo Ran said.

Siyu looked out the window when she heard that. Caidie walked outside and looked, then said, "It's almost the evening hour."

"It's so late, Mr. Xiaoyan, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that a game of chess would take so long. You should go home quickly."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, and I'll come back another day. Goodbye."

Good times are always short, and no matter how reluctant Yan Haiyun is, he really has to go.

After seeing Yan Haiyun off, Siyu returned to Qingfangyuan to rest.
