Feng Qing knelt in front of the Buddha statue, with his black hair tied up. His expression was neither sad nor happy, and his whole body was filled with warmth. He clasped his hands together and closed his eyes with a pious expression.

The afterglow of the sun shines down, illuminating the Buddha statue particularly brightly.

The Buddha's eyes are filled with compassion as he stares at the world.

There were footsteps behind him, but Feng Qing didn't open his eyes. There was the sound of clothes rubbing against him, and then someone knelt beside him.

I don't know how long it took, but a slightly majestic voice sounded, "What do you want, Master?"

That voice was cold, and the emperor's innate coolness.

Feng Qing chuckled lightly, and his tone of voice was as gentle as black jade, slowly ringing in his ears, "I pray that the life of the one you love will go well."

Emperor Xuan Zhao lowered his eyes and smiled, with a faint light in his eyes, "Master Mingsu once said that you have lit a long-lasting lamp here."

"Exactly." Feng Qing said with a smile, unhurriedly.

"I have seen you, Mr. Feng." Emperor Xuan Zhao spoke, his tone serious.

"I once traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and was invited by the Xie family to teach the young master of the family. It is also a blessing for the common people to be remembered by your majesty." He was not panicked at all, as calm as a mirror.

Emperor Xuan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that your knowledge is very good. Otherwise, how could a family like the Xie family invite you personally?"

"The grassroots lived in seclusion before coming out of the mountains. By chance, I entered the Xie family."

"Mr. Feng, would you like to have a discussion with me?" Emperor Xuan Zhao spoke again.

Feng Qing said with a smile, "It's an honor for the common people, and they can't ask for it."

The two of them left the main hall and walked towards Emperor Xuanzhao's residence in Wanguo Temple.

Feng Qing bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please."

The two sat down, the eunuch placed the chessboard and stepped away. Emperor Xuanzhao stretched out his hand, "Sir, please go first."

Feng Qing had a smile on his lips and said in a humble tone, "Your Majesty, please come first."

Emperor Xuanzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not give in. Heizi fell down, and then Feng Qing fell down.

After going back and forth several times, Emperor Xuan Zhao shook his head slightly and said, "Sir's chess is too soft and mediocre."

"The long-cherished wish of the common people is for peace in the world. Therefore, when Xie's theory is different from that of the common people, the common people say goodbye and leave."

"Oh? So Mr. Xuan has left the Xie family." Emperor Xuan Zhao raised his lips.

"Of course," Feng Qing said with a smile.

"Sir, do you have any thoughts of joining the imperial court?" Emperor Xuan Zhao Youran changed the subject.

Feng Qing was startled, "Here, the common people aspire to travel the mountains and rivers, but they really have no chance to visit the court."

"That's it. It's a pity that sir is so talented." Emperor Xuan Zhao said calmly.

Feng Qing smiled slightly, as gentle and elegant as ever.

"How long do you want to stay in the temple, sir?" Emperor Xuanzhao put down his chess piece and said.

"About three days." Feng Qing responded.

"I have nothing to do, so I came to meet you to play chess with your husband. Is he willing?" Emperor Xuan Zhao seemed to be asking, but his tone was strong.

"Of course, it's the honor of the common people." Feng Qing had a smile on his brows, like a breeze, and didn't feel anything wrong at all.

At the end of the chess game, Feng Qing sighed, "It's the common people who lost." After saying that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, so the common people took the first step."

Emperor Xuan Zhao looked at the chess game and raised his eyes when he heard the words, "Sir, go slowly."

Feng Qing's posture was elegant, he stepped back slightly and saluted, then turned around and left.

Emperor Xuan Zhao picked up a chess piece, put it in his hand and played with it, his eyes showing some deep meaning.

It is said that one can know one's character by watching chess. This Feng Qing's words were somewhat free and gentle, but there was no edge at all.
