Once Qing'er got acquainted with her, she would become talkative. She talked a lot with Ren Xin and introduced everyone and things she knew in the capital. After hearing this, Ren Xin couldn't help but admire that she was worthy of living in the princess's mansion.

Next to her, a woman like Qing'er knew so many things. Ren Xin still wanted to know more, maybe she could find some information about the stone, but Qing'er urged her to rest early, and she didn't know anything.

Please say it again.

Fortunately, Ren Xin was tired, so she fell on the bed and fell asleep not long after. Until the next day, at three o'clock in the morning, she turned over and opened her eyes slightly, just in time to meet a pair of clean eyes. She was still not awake and seemed to be in a trance.

Seeing Ling'er, she smiled softly, "Good morning, Ling'er."

"Who is Ling'er?" the boy's voice asked curiously. Ren Xin finally woke up. The child in front of her was not Ling'er. The eyes of Zhan Yue and Ling'er were so similar that she once again misidentified the person.

, rubbed his eyes, and saw Zhan Yue squatting on the ground, holding his face with his two small hands, looking at her quietly.

Qing'er brought a basin of water and walked into the house. Seeing that Ren Xin was wondering why Zhan Yue was here, she explained, "Zhan Yue woke up early. I was coming to wake you up before, so I happened to meet him, so I took him with me.

But when he entered the house, he saw you sleeping and refused to let me call you, saying he wanted you to have a good rest."

"Such a considerate child." Ren Xin pinched Zhan Yue's little face and tidied up with Zhan Yue. After breakfast, Chu Qingchen happened to be here. Zhan Yue and Qing'er also got along, so Ren Xin felt relieved.

He left Zhan Yue in the care of Qing'er and followed Chu Qingchen to the Xu Mansion.

Master Xu's residence in the capital was almost exactly the same as Yi Cheng's residence. When he stood at the door and looked at it, Ren Xin felt a strong sense of familiarity. He followed Chu Qingchen into the house and walked between the corridors.

, she even had the illusion of revisiting her old place. If the servants coming and going to greet her were not all unfamiliar faces, Ren Xin would really think that she was back in Yicheng. Chu Qingchen told Ren Xin about the Xu in Yicheng.

The mansion was built based on Master Xu's house in the capital. After Master Xu resigned in anger and left Beijing, the Queen often sent people to take care of the house...

"It seems that the Queen really respects the Master. Otherwise, the remnants of the previous dynasty who were unwilling to obey would have been..." destroyed.

"Yes, but Master is special. The title of Master was given by the late Emperor. The reason is not only that he was the emperor's disciple, but also because he had many disciples, who are all over the world. Now the noise of those disciples is spreading all over the country.

Various places in Yin are doing different things, and the ministers in the court also have many disciples of the dead master..."

Chu Qingchen's explanation completely overturned Ren Xin's long-standing image of Master Xu as a stubborn old man who loves to play tricks. In an instant, he felt that he had grown taller in an instant. Ren Xin even tricked Master Xu into being deliberately tricked by some hermit master.

Hiding his illusion, he began to look forward to what Master Xu would look like after returning to the capital, but he never thought...

The housekeeper came up to them and said that Master Xu was waiting for the two of them at the chess viewing pavilion in the back garden. Chu Qingchen said he knew and sent the housekeeper away to take Ren Xin with him.

As soon as he entered the garden, he looked at the stone table with chess pieces in the pavilion from a distance. Master Xu stood with his hands behind his back, his back facing the direction of Ren Xin, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. His fairy-like appearance felt very literary.

It's different. It's really different. He is indeed a retired master, but he has been pretending to be a master for so many years! The late emperor's imperial master should have had such a temperament.

Ren Xin was full of expectations for the reunion with Master Xu after a long absence. Chu Qingchen didn't understand why Ren Xin's eyes lit up. He led Ren Xin towards Master Xu in confusion. Seeing Master Xu in a daze, he asked softly, "Master?"

Ren Xin has arrived.”

"Xin'er, I'd like to say hello to Master Xu. I haven't seen you for a few months. How are you doing, Master?" Ren Xin wanted to be polite and considerate in front of Master Xu.

Master Xu was brought back to his senses by Ren Xin's voice. He turned around with a sad face. When he saw Ren Xin's familiar face, he was instantly overjoyed and even had a smile on his face. He quickly pulled Ren Xin to look at it.

The chess game on the table, "Xin'er, you're finally here, come on, come on, let's see how you solve this chess game on the table?"

Chu Qingchen was just ignored by Master Xu. Looking at Master Xu's enthusiasm for Ren Xin, he complained in his heart that Master was partial to Ren Xin. He took two steps forward, looked at the chess game on the table, and sarcastically said, "

You haven't cracked such a simple chess game yet, and you dared to boast to me before..."

"This game seems simple, but in fact there is a hidden mystery. Xin'er can't understand it for a moment. Can you please explain it to Xin'er, so that Xin'er can think of a way to solve the game." Ren Xin saw Master Xu's expression gradually darkening.

, Ren Xin wandered between Chu Qingchen and Master Xu, glared at Chu Qingchen, and helped Master Xu to regain some face for him.

"Well, since little girl Xin'er doesn't understand, I'll explain it to you." Master Xu proudly explained the chess game to Ren Xin. In fact, many parts didn't make sense, but Ren Xin still listened patiently and secretly secretly understood it.

Laughing, denying the previous misunderstanding about Master Xu. Master Xu is still Master. He has never changed or pretended. He has always been such a face-loving little old man.

Chu Qingchen watched these two people coming again, and went to the side to find a place to sit down, feeling full of disdain. He just didn't like Ren Xin's smooth appearance.

Master Xu talked for half an hour. Ren Xin was almost sleepy after listening to it. He suppressed the feeling of yawning. Ren Xin pulled the corner of his mouth to stop Master Xu from talking, "Master, I understand. You see Xin'er is like this."

Is this the right move?" After saying that, Ren Xin picked up a piece and landed it lightly on the chessboard. The whole chess game immediately became enlightened, and even reversed the disadvantage of the black piece.

Chu Qingchen watched from the side, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ren Xin in disbelief. The step he thought of was just to bring Heizi back to life temporarily, but he didn't expect Ren Xin to reverse the situation. He didn't fight with Ren Xin.

I have played chess before, but I have played against Master Xu countless times. Every time this old man with no chess skills regretted losing after losing, he would say that playing chess with him, Chu Qingchen, was boring...

Every time he heard Master Xu talk about how he defeated Ren Xin, Chu Qingchen secretly despised Ren Xin's chess skills and laughed at the fact that only two bad chess pieces could be played together when they touched each other, but he never thought that it was him.

He underestimated Ren Xin too much. How could he have forgotten that Ren Xin was such a smooth and thoughtful person? It was not impossible that he deliberately gave in to Master Xu.

Master Xu looked at the chess game and was overjoyed. He wrote down the place where Ren Xin made the move and happily turned around and ran away, "Qingchen, take Xin'er around the house. I'll go into the palace and be back soon!"

Watching the Master from behind as he trotted all the way, Ren Xin had a headache. He somehow felt that the Master was becoming more and more unstable, but...is this what it should be like to be reunited? Excited, happy, with tears in his eyes.

...It seems that these feelings of Master are just for that game of chess, and it seems as if he and Ren Xin have never been separated.

However, this is also good. No matter how long it takes, we will never feel alienated when we meet again.

"That game of chess wasn't played by you and Master, right?" Ren Xin asked Chu Qingchen lazily.

"Why do you see that?" Chu Qingchen studied the chess game on the table without raising his head.

"If you had played this game with me, I would have been completely defeated and there would be no chance of coming back to life. What's more, according to Master's character, if you had played this game with me, then I wouldn't have been able to survive this game. He would have been a long time ago.

I regretted the chess game, and besides, the master wanted to enter the palace in a hurry as soon as the chess game was solved... It must be the queen..." This is the only guess that works. After all, if it weren't for the queen's chess game, Chu Qingchen would have already been in front of the master.

Showing off the chess game.

Ren Xin sat down opposite Chu Qingchen, holding the white piece in her hand, intending to continue the game with Chu Qingchen. She also looked at the chess game, guessing what the queen was thinking.

The two of them stopped talking. They went back and forth to finish the game. Heizi, who had a chance to counterattack because of Ren Xin's son, was suppressed by Bai Zi again and again. Unknowingly, the sun set in the west, and Chu Qing

Chen saw the trend clearly and gave up playing.

"From the beginning, I should have chosen Bai Zi." Chu Qingchen was not convinced, and Ren Xin smiled slightly, "Bai Zi is not suitable for you."

"Why?"

"Because you can't control this game to this extent."

"What, could it be..." Chu Qingchen looked at the chessboard, looking at the overall situation, and then looking at Ren Xin, she was full of surprise. Could it be that she was trying to figure out the Queen's thoughts from the beginning to play this game? Chu Qingchen

She was convinced from the bottom of her heart and said, "You should really meet the Queen. You will definitely be made a confidant."

"Maybe." Ren Xin also wanted to see who this queen was. She originally thought that the queen must be a brave, resourceful and ruthless person like Lu Pheasant and Wu Zetian. But looking at this situation, the queen

With great strategy and benevolence, Bai Zi steadily suppressed Heizi every time, but he would not put him to death. On the contrary, he deliberately gave Heizi some room to breathe.

"However, with Master Xu's chess skills, I'm afraid he has lost now. It is really harder to maintain a draw than to let him win." Chu Qingchen guessed that Master Xu was holding the black piece, which was a little funny.

"No, it will definitely end the same as ours." Ren Xin said matter-of-factly. For the first time, Chu Qingchen felt that Ren Xin was unfathomable. He didn't understand why Ren Xin would say that.

"Because, in some aspects, the Master is very similar to you, hahaha~ But should I say she is kind, or is she sinister? She completely manipulates people into applause..." Ren Xin slowly talked to Chu Qing

Chen put away the chess pieces on the table. Chu Qingchen was full of disdain for Ren Xin's words.

The servants came over and told Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen that Master Xu had returned from the palace and was waiting for Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen to have dinner together. Only then did Ren Xin remember that she had been playing chess with Chu Qingchen before and had no lunch.
