Jiangnan has been a place of mountains and rivers since ancient times, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is also a place where many talented writers and poets have emerged. The green willows brushed past, and the lingering mist and rain added a bit of fantasy. In a restaurant on the most prosperous street, the half-open window vaguely showed a handsome man.
"Your Highness has been in Jiangnan for some time. I wonder if you are having fun?" The woman spoke slowly, her sleeves moving slightly as she looked at the person in front of her with a voice as soft as the breeze.
"Jiangnan is so beautiful that even I am reluctant to leave." His slightly upturned peach blossom eyes seemed to contain a smile as he glanced at the woman in front of him. His slender fingertips looked somewhat indifferent against the background of the black spots.
How long has it been since he played chess so leisurely? He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Your Highness, you seem quite leisurely." The white piece fell lightly, and the originally loose chessboard became even more scattered.
His thin lips curled up slightly, looking free and uninhibited. But he did not refute, "Haha, being in the emperor's house, it's rare to have the opportunity to enjoy it. How can I miss this great opportunity?"
The woman smiled slightly, "Your Highness is quite open-minded." How could she not know that he was not as carefree as others said, but seeing his appearance at this moment, she was still slightly dazed.
"Haha, even if I am kind-hearted, it is difficult for others to tolerate me." The black piece fell, and suddenly, the collapse of the chessboard disappeared, and in the distance, there was a strong breath of killing. Judging from the situation, the white pieces were also surrounded!
"The position of the prince always blocks some people's way, so it requires..." The red lips slightly raised, and before the words fell, the white piece fell, and the chess game book returned to its original peaceful state in a moment.
"That depends on my mood." He played with the jade piece in his hand and without thinking, he placed it on the chess piece, which made the woman next to him frown slightly. If the white piece still had a chance of survival just now, it would be surrounded and besieged on all sides at this moment.
"I didn't expect that your chess skills are getting better and better. You can even solve my chess game." Looking at the white piece falling again, Mo Zilian's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I was just clever at the moment. However, this move was a bit risky." She looked at the chessboard with a thoughtful look in her almond-shaped eyes. She had considered it for a long time before making the decision.
"It's indeed good, but there is always a loophole. If you don't pay attention to the future, you will be in danger!" The black piece fell, and the white pieces scattered, each separated.
The woman in front of him looked at the situation and was at a loss for a moment, with a slight hesitation on her fingertips. Mo Zilian did not urge her and took a sip of Jiangnan Gulongjing tea. It tasted sweet and delicious, with a slight bitterness on the tip of the tongue, but it turned sweet in a moment, and the fragrance lingered in the mouth for a moment.
The way of tea is also the way of life. So is the way of chess.
"This move is very different. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to come up with it, but if it is you, it would be a relief." The woman in front of him hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind. Even if she could linger a little longer, it was better than just killing her directly.
"The principle of putting oneself in danger in order to survive is applied to the fullest extent!" There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although he was praising the chess game, his eyes were looking at the woman in front of him.
"It was just a coincidence..." The woman who was seen by Mo Zilian lowered her eyes with a respectful look on her face. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mo Zilian.
He opened the fan slightly and said, "You are always so modest..." This added a touch of romantic charm to Mo Zilian.
"Your Highness, someone wants to see you." A servant suddenly came from outside the door and said, "Come in." Lazily and casually,
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The visitor knelt on the ground and saluted like Mo Zilian.
"Get up." He waved his hand, and seemed to look at the visitor casually. The visitor was none other than the informant he had placed next to Shen Yu. If something major had not happened, he would never come to find him.
“Your Highness…” The informant in front of him seemed to want to say something, but looking at the woman in front of him, he gestured to ask for the prince’s permission.
"Haha, you go down first." The sound of the fan closing slightly brought out an unrestrained and unrestrained style, and at this moment the black spot fell!
The outcome of the chess game is already decided!
"Well, Your Highness, please take your leave." The woman in front of him bowed and left the room. However, at the moment when the door was closed, she could not help but take one more look through the gap in the door.
There was a trace of obsession in her watery eyes, but she turned around and smiled bitterly. It was impossible. Thinking too much would only make it a foolish dream. She should just do her duty. As long as she was not discovered, she would not care about her little thoughts.
"What happened?" The room was filled with smoke and there were only the two of them. Mo Zilian looked at the chessboard thoughtfully and asked softly.
"Your Highness, the virtuous concubine has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison." The visitor succinctly recounted the entire cause and effect of the incident, while Mo Zilian held his chin with an ambiguous light in the depths of his eyes. His pupils were as black as ink, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Interesting, it's quite interesting." A hearty laugh came from Mo Zilian's lips, with a hint of amusement. Mo Zilian now felt that Shen Yu was really interesting. It seemed that this was a good show. How could this good show be allowed to continue alone
Mo Zilian stood up from the couch and stretched his body slightly. He had been so leisurely these past few days that he seemed a little bored. Now that he finally had some fun, how could he miss his business
"Your Highness..." The informant wanted to say something else, "Okay, I know what to do." He waved his hand gently, the brightness in the corner of his eyes never changed.
After Mo Zilian left the private room, he went straight downstairs.
As it was not meal time at the moment, the restaurant seemed unusually elegant, exuding a different kind of sentiment. It was just so because the owner of the restaurant was a gentle woman, so how could the restaurant she opened not match her temperament
"Your Highness." The woman stepped forward gently, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days. Now I have some things to take care of, so I'd like to excuse myself first." Mo Zilian had a slight smile in the corner of his eyes and his expression was gentle.
"It is my blessing. If Your Majesty says so, I really can't bear it." She covered her face gently with her sleeves, while Mo Zilian laughed.
"Okay, I'm leaving first." After saying that, he didn't delay any longer. There were still many things in this world waiting for him to deal with. The land of willows and smoke was not as attractive as everyone said.
