If you don’t eat the toast, you will be fined.

Mu Bailian thought she had won Liang Shaoxuan's favor that day, and she felt so happy all day long.

Little did she know that a pair of eyes in the darkness had been watching her every move.

On this day, Mu Bailian took a carriage to Baohua Tower as usual.

She has already found out clearly that Liang Shaoxuan will go to Baohua Building today.

Just when she stood outside the door of Baohua Tower and looked up, several big men suddenly appeared from behind and covered the mouths and noses of Mu Bailian and the little maid from behind with drugged handkerchiefs.

Before Mu Bailian could even hum, she was faintly carried away.

At this time, Liang Shaoxuan walked out of Baohua Building.

He ran into Princess Huiqing head-on.

"I have met the princess!" Liang Shaoxuan bowed his hands.

"Young Master Liang is polite." Princess Huiqing greeted with a smile. Ever since Xu Liuyun made a scene at the Ji Banquet, the Queen Mother ordered her to change her target.

Hence, today's chance encounter happened.

"I wonder where Mr. Liang is going?" Princess Huiqing asked gently with a slight smile on her face.

Liang Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be surprised, "I'm going to Panshi Garden now."

Princess Huiqing heard this and said, "I heard that there is a poetry competition in Baohua Tower today. Why is Mr. Liang leaving so soon?"

Liang Shaoxuan paused for a moment before replying, "Brother Xu got a new pair of fine catalpa wood chessboards, and he insisted on asking me to come over and appreciate them."

Princess Huiqing's expression turned slightly stiff, and she couldn't help but suspect that Liang Shaoxuan said this on purpose.

After a pause, Princess Huiqing gathered her thoughts and said calmly, "Oh? I wonder if I, Princess, have the honor to go and appreciate this rare chessboard together?"

Liang Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Princess Huiqing would take the initiative to mention that he wanted to go together. However, he quickly returned to normal and bowed his hands in salute, "My princess is willing to go, I am honored to do so!"

Princess Huiqing nodded happily, then got on the carriage and headed to Panshi Garden with Liang Shaoxuan.

Panshi Garden is famous for all kinds of strange stones in the garden. Whether on the picturesque verandah or along the flower paths, there are all kinds of strange stones. There is even a rockery with strange stones in the lake in the center of the garden.

Liang Shaoxuan led Princess Huiqing through the veranda and along the lake to an octagonal pavilion.

"Princess please!" Liang Shaoxuan made a "please" gesture and turned sideways to let Princess Huiqing go first.

Xu Liuyun in the pavilion saw the two walking together from a distance. He raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, then understood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.

"I've met the princess!" Xu Liuyun came forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"Young master Xu, there is no need to be polite!" Princess Huiqing looked calm and relaxed.

"Brother Xu!" Liang Shaoxuan and Xu Liuyun greeted each other. Liang Shaoxuan looked a little ashamed because he had brought Princess Huiqing here without permission. Seeing this, Xu Liuyun couldn't help but raise his lips teasingly.

"When I heard that Mr. Xu got a pair of catalpa wood chessboards, I wanted to come over and learn more about it. Mr. Xu wouldn't be surprised, right?" Princess Huiqing looked at Xu Liuyun tenderly.

In fact, she still didn't want to give up on Xu Liuyun. Firstly, she did have a good impression of Xu Liuyun, and secondly, she was unwilling to admit that she had lost to Princess Ronghua.

She thinks that she is not inferior to Princess Ronghua in terms of appearance or talent. The only thing she loses is her identity.

"Of course not!" Xu Liuyun replied calmly.

With that said, he invited the two of them to go over to the stone table to appreciate the chessboard he had obtained.

Liang Shaoxuan's eyes lit up when he saw it. He caressed the chessboard fondly, and the smile on his face was a sincere and excited smile he had never seen before. He praised repeatedly, "This catalpa wood chessboard is light and strong, not easily deformed, and has fine wood grain.

It is a good material for making chessboards and is worthy of being called an antique treasure."

"Brother Liang really has a vision!" Xu Liuyun crossed his arms across his chest and curved his lips, looking like a playboy.

"Brother Xu, please!" Liang Shaoxuan felt itchy for a moment, so he invited Xu Liuyun to sit down and play a game of chess.

Xu Liuyun glanced at Princess Huiqing and said, "We can't neglect our distinguished guest!"

One sentence made Liang Shaoxuan's face heat up, and he forgot about Princess Huiqing as soon as he became happy.

"I've lost my composure, Princess, please forgive me!" Liang Shaoxuan bowed his hands.

Princess Huiqing smiled casually, "If you don't mind, Mr. Liang, how about I play a game of chess with you?"

Liang Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and replied: "It's an honor for me that the princess is willing to show you my face."

So, Liang Shaoxuan and Princess Huiqing sat down face to face, one holding the black stones and the other holding the white stones and started playing chess.

Xu Liuyun stood behind Liang Shaoxuan and watched quietly, and found that Princess Huiqing still had some merits, at least she played the game well.

While watching the chess game, a man's shouting and cursing suddenly came to my ears.

Xu Liuyun looked back unexpectedly and saw a man in green clothes beating a girl who was singing on the veranda by the lake.

"It's your blessing that I have fallen in love with you, and you dare to pick up Joe with me. You're really going to be punished with a toast!"

The man in Tsing Yi's filthy insults came out of his mouth. The old man on the side quickly protected the girl with his body, but was beaten even harder by the man in Tsing Yi.

Xu Liuyun disliked him for disturbing his purity, so he flicked a copper coin in his hand.

"Who?" The man in Tsing Yi was hit on the bridge of his nose by a copper coin. The pain suddenly made his eyes dart like stars. He covered his nose and shouted.

Xu Liuyun smiled coldly and didn't answer him, just watching him jump up and down like a clown.

"Which bastard is he? Dare to attack your grandfather, but don't dare to admit it?" The man in Tsing Yi walked back and forth, dancing angrily.

Suddenly seeing the blood on his own hand, he jumped angrily, "Who is it, grandpa, get out of here!"

But no one responded to him, and no one stood up.

The noise on his side finally made Princess Huiqing frown, but she only wanted to win Liang Shaoxuan's favor today and didn't want to cause more trouble.

When the man in green clothes saw that no one acknowledged him, he was so angry that he rushed to the top of his head. He rushed over and grabbed the girl who was still lying on the ground, and threw her into the lake.

Xu Liuyun was forced to take action.

I saw him leap over, pick up the girl by the waist, spin a few times in the air, and land firmly in front of the man in green.

"So it's you!" The man in green looked at Xu Liuyun with a sinister look.

"Huo Baoju, you really can't change your habit of eating shit!" Of course Xu Liuyun recognized this person.

Huo Baoju, the concubine of Grand Sima Huo Yunting, used his father's reputation to do a lot of tyranny, and thus formed a rift with Xu Liuyun. Neither of them could tolerate the other.

Enemies were really jealous when they met. Huo Baoju asked with red eyes: "Did you hit grandpa and me?"

Xu Liuyun sneered coldly, "Your grandpa is here, and your grandson still dares to be so presumptuous!"

"Xu Liuyun, don't think I'm afraid of you!" The man in green said arrogantly, but the timidity in his eyes couldn't be deceived.

It's just a paper tiger! The disdain in Xu Liuyun's eyes was undisguised, and he stretched out his hand impatiently, "Bring it here!"

"What?" The man in Tsing Yi was startled and took a step back.

"You hurt someone, and you still want to pay back the money? Believe it or not, I will arrest you and go to the official to see if I will ransom you?" Xu Liuyun threatened.

When Huo Yunting was mentioned, Huo Baoju immediately withered. He was able to dominate outside because his father didn't know what he was doing. Otherwise, Huo Yunting, who always pays attention to reputation, would have to skin him!

Huo Baoju immediately winked at his subordinate, who quickly threw a piece of silver to the old man.

"Thank you so much, young master!" The old man kowtowed to Xu Liuyun with tears in his eyes, and then helped the girl leave.

"etc!"

Just as Xu Liuyun was about to leave, Huo Baoju called out to him.

Xu Liuyun looked back and looked at him coldly, without speaking but with a sense of intimidation.

"If you hurt me, you have to pay me back!"

He looked like he would not give up until the money was given, and Xu Liuyun smiled, "I will give you the money, can you take it?"

Looking at the silver ingot held in Xu Liuyun's hand, Huo Baoju unconsciously covered his nose.
