The banquet ended.
Meng Qianqian went to the Zhaoming Palace of the Supreme Emperor.
The elderly gentleman was sitting in a pavilion teaching Treasure Piggy how to play chess.
That little rascal, who usually couldn't sit still, was astonishingly quiet and focused on the chessboard.
Meng Qianqian approached, and the little one was completely unaware, staring seriously at the board.
"Supreme Emperor."
Lu Yuan bowed in salute.
The Supreme Emperor raised his hand, signaling Lu Yuan not to disturb the little one playing chess.
Lu Yuan's lips twitched.
After a trip, not only was his status at home insecure, but also his standing in the Imperial Palace had become precarious.
Meng Qianqian bowed to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
Treasure Piggy scratched its head.
Lu Yuan raised his slender fingers like jade and pointed to a spot on the board: "Place it here."
The Supreme Emperor sternly said, "Silent spectators of a game are true gentlemen!"
