Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Before setting off, Ziyuan looked at Muxue seriously and explained in detail all the possible situations and countermeasures.

She was clear and organized, spoke in a calm tone, and paid attention to every detail.

"Listen to what's important, and let the unimportant go in one ear and out the other. If you really run into someone who's unreasonable, don't be afraid, it's okay to just take action.

If you can't win, don't force yourself and call me immediately." Ziyuan patted Muxue's shoulder, his eyes full of concern and trust.

Mu Xue nodded seriously and kept these words firmly in mind.

After everything was explained, the two of them didn't delay any longer and Ziyuan flew away directly with Muxue.

If I choose to walk there, it will take too much time.

Along the way, not only do you have to present a variety of cumbersome passes, but you also have to go through layers of notifications. The procedures are extremely complicated, and any slight mistake may delay your trip.

Their destination was Yun Yuyao's residence.

Although the specific start time of the banquet has not been announced yet, they know in their hearts that coming to see Princess Hua Yan is the right choice.

Yun Yuyao has a special status in the palace, and is familiar with them, so she knows a lot of news in the palace.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at Yun Yuyao's residence.

At this time, Yun Yuyao was immersed in the world of books.

The last time Mu Xue came, she only stayed in the living room for a while and did not set foot in Yun Yuyao's room.

At that time, although she saw the door of this room, she did not dare to open it and go in to find out because of various concerns.

And this time, I finally have the opportunity to take a glimpse of its charm.

Muxue followed Ziyuan into the room with great anticipation, but the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.

In her opinion, a princess's room should be filled with all kinds of exquisite and beautiful objects, full of fantasy and luxury.

But Yun Yuyao's room was completely different, without too many gorgeous decorations.

The most eye-catching thing in the entire room is a bookshelf filled with books. The books on the bookshelf are dazzling, covering almost every field.

Not only that, the table where Yun Yuyao was sitting was also piled with books.

Mu Xue glanced at it curiously and found that most of the books were about history.

From the rise and fall of ancient dynasties to the changes in local customs and habits, all kinds of historical books are included.

Looking at these books, Mu Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Yun Yuyao really had a strong interest in history.

Yun Yuyao was immersed in the world of the book and didn't notice anyone coming in.

It wasn't until the footsteps of Ziyuan and Muxue sounded in the room that she suddenly came to her senses.

She immediately put down the book in her hand, stood up from her chair, and walked quickly forward to greet him.

"Now that you're here, please take a seat. Someone will come to notify you when the banquet is about to start.

Also, Xue’er and Master Ziyuan are so beautiful!

I'm so moved just looking at it!" Yun Yuyao's face was filled with a warm smile, and her tone of voice was relaxed and lively, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

After saying that, she sat back in her original seat and continued to immerse herself in the world of books.

Looking at Yun Yuyao's appearance, Mu Xue couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.

To be honest, Yun Yuyao doesn't give the impression of a princess in the traditional sense.

She doesn't have that kind of delicate and artificial temperament, but instead has a bit more free and easy and generous feeling, which makes her feel more like a graceful prince.

This is an indescribable unique temperament that makes people want to get closer and know more about her.

"Xue'er, come on, I'll take you to see what the other rooms look like." Ziyuan seemed to see what Muxue was thinking, and also noticed that the room was a little quiet, so he broke the silence with a smile.

She reached out and took Muxue's hand, leading her out of the dormitory.

They walked along the long corridor, turned a few corners, and came to a new room.

Pushing the door open, Mu Xue's eyes lit up. She saw the room filled with many items for cultivating immortality, including a guzheng, chess sets, a couch, and a low table.

Each item is well-made and exudes an air of simplicity and elegance.

The guzheng stood quietly in the corner, its strings gleaming softly in the dim light, as if telling an ancient story; the chess sets were neatly arranged, and the black and white pieces seemed to be waiting for a wonderful game.

"This should be the leisure room. Do you want to play here for a while?" Ziyuan's voice was soft, with a hint of inquiry and suggestion, and his eyes fell on Muxue with doting.

She knew very well that Muxue had lived in a simple environment before and would be curious about these new things.

"Well, okay." Mu Xue's eyes lit up instantly, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, her excitement was beyond words.

Her eyes were attracted by the dazzling array of items in the house, and she agreed without hesitation.

As soon as she finished speaking, Muxue ran to the guzheng like a happy little deer.

Her eyes were full of curiosity and caution. She reached out and gently touched the strings.

"Ding!" A crisp sound suddenly rang out and echoed in the quiet room.

Mu Xue was startled by the sudden sound and instinctively retracted her hand.

She only dared to play it once, as she was really afraid that the guzheng would break if she moved it a few more times.

After all, she had a painful experience before. She was curious about a strange board and picked it up without thinking much. As a result, she accidentally let the contents fall out.

She was extremely anxious at the time, and her hands were frantically trying to put the parts back together, but no matter how hard she tried, it was of no use.

Later, the matter was discovered and she was severely beaten.

This experience made her more cautious about handling unfamiliar objects.

After leaving Guzheng, Muxue quickly ran to the Go board.

She had never really come into contact with Go, but she had occasionally seen others play the game before and had always had a yearning in her heart.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the black and white chess pieces in the basket, and placed them on the chessboard without thinking.

However, a funny scene occurred.

Ziyuan was originally watching Muxue exploring quietly from the side, with tenderness in her heart.

Seeing Mu Xue's novel "way of playing", she couldn't help but walk over curiously.

When Ziyuan saw that Muxue's chess piece did not fall at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines, but on the square on the chessboard, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!

My Xueer!

This isn't how you play Go. Look, the pieces are placed at the intersections above." Ziyuan explained patiently to Muxue while smiling.

In fact, Ziyuan herself doesn’t know how to play Go. She didn’t come from a wealthy family when she was a child. She grew up in an ordinary rural family that made a living by farming.

In such an environment, elegant skills such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were out of her reach.

But at this moment, in order to make Muxue happy, she still tried hard to pass on the little knowledge she knew to her.

"I don't know how to play Go. Come, I'll teach you a simple game called Gobang. We take turns playing Go on the board. The player who connects his five pieces in a line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins.

This is easy, right? Let's try it." Ziyuan suddenly had an idea and thought of Gobang, a game he had come across by chance before.

She felt that this simple chess game might be more suitable for Muxue and would make it easier for her to find fun in playing.

As Muxue listened to Ziyuan's story, her eyes widened and opened wider, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Soon, she developed a strong interest in Renju, and the two of them sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard, and a small game of chess began.

At the beginning, Mu Xue lost many games in a row because she was not familiar with the rules and lacked experience.

Every time she saw Ziyuan easily connect five pieces, a hint of loss would flash across her eyes, but more of it was a stubborn determination to not admit defeat.

However, Muxue has a strong learning ability and a spirit of never giving up.

As the game progressed, she gradually mastered the techniques and tricks.

In the next few rounds, the two players' strength began to become evenly matched.

Originally, Muxue could only last less than 15 moves before the game was over, but now, she can fight with Ziyuan for more than 20 moves before the winner is decided.

With every move, Mu Xue became more decisive and confident; with every thought, her eyes became more focused and determined.

The only sounds in the room were the gentle "clacking" of the two people's moves and the occasional whispered conversation, which was filled with warmth and joy.
