Xiao Lan didn't move for a long time, so Liu Yan naturally didn't dare to disturb him and could only wait silently.

Ning Xiang, who was standing behind Xiao Lan, seemed to have realized something as she slowly walked to Xiao Lan's side, reminding her, "Princess, it's your turn to fall."

Eh?

Only then did Xiao Lan wake up. She raised her head and smiled apologetically at Liu Yan, "Sorry, I was distracted."

Once she said that, the crowd was even more surprised. The wangfei actually wanted to apologize?

This time, Liu Yan couldn't stop herself from looking at Xiao Lan. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Lan over and over again. This wangfei was really different …

Xiao Lan gathered her thoughts and began to play chess very seriously. During the time, Xiao Lan casually asked, "I wonder what the Fifth Miss specializes in among all the sisters."

Sisters? Wherever the sisters came from, they were merely birds that the Prince had raised when he had nothing better to do.

Liu Yan smiled faintly, "Reporting to Princess, Liu Yan is good at playing zither."

Touch the zither...

Xiao Lan looked at Liu Yan. "When will you have the time to play a song for this wangfei?"

Liu Yan Luo's hand stopped. She raised her gaze and looked at Xiao Lan. "Princess, do you want to hear Liu Yan caress the zither?"

Xiao Lan nodded calmly. "I do want to hear it."

"Okay." Liu Yan directly turned around to look at Ke Er. "Ke Er, go get my zither."

Ke'er immediately nodded. "Alright, I'll go get it now."

After saying that, Ke'er ran out of the pavilion.

"Alas, wait." Xiao Lan called out to Ke Er. "No need to be in such a hurry."

Xiao Lan looked at Liu Yan. "You are an indifferent and gentle girl. Why are you so impatient?"

Xiao Lan's words caused Liu Yan's heart to tremble. She raised her head to look at Xiao Lan. "How does the Royal Concubine know that Liu Yan is indifferent and gentle?"

Xiao Lan glanced at the chessboard. "You'll know how to be amiable just by looking at how you play chess. You don't have to fight over it."

Liu Yan's throat suddenly felt like it was blocked by a rock, and was indescribably heavy for a moment.

Humble and easygoing, neither contending nor snatching …

She had been at the Regent's Estate for a long time, but she had never imagined that the first person to know her would be the Regent's Consort, who had only seen her on the third side.

After a long while, Liu Yan finally calmed herself down. "Since Princess doesn't want to listen to the zither today, then we'll change the date. If you ever want to hear it, just ask Lady Ning Xiang to call me."

Xiao Lan raised her head to look at Liu Yan. She didn't know why she was so moved, but she didn't seem to have said anything that would move others.

Seeing Liu Yan sincerely waiting for her reply, Xiao Lan could only nod.

"Alright."

After that, the two of them stopped talking and started to get serious.

Liu Yan's maid, Ke Er, slowly moved over to Ning Xiang's side. She said in a low voice, "Your wangfei seems to be doing pretty well too."

Ning Xiang looked at Ke Er with slight displeasure in her eyes. What was she talking about? Her wangfei wasn't that good, but rather that she was especially good.

Right at this moment, a dignified figure calmly walked over from afar. Ning Xiang and Ke Er were the first to notice it. "Your Highness!"

Just as the two of them were about to bow, Xuanyuan Dong waved his hand. Halfway through, the two of them were forced to withdraw.

Xuanyuan Yun walked behind Xiao Lan with light and slow footsteps and his pitch-black eyes swept across the surface of Xiao Lan's chess piece.

The chess game was pretty good.

Liu Yan, who was standing opposite of Xiao Lan, raised her head and saw Xuanyuan Yun. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Xuanyuan Yun.

Liu Yan quickly understood and continued to play chess with Xiao Lan while pretending to be calm and collected.

Xiao Lan's gaze was completely focused on the chess board and didn't notice anything strange in his surroundings.

Liu Yan's gaze could not help but glance at Xuanyuan Feng from time to time, and every time she did, her heart would fiercely tremble.

She had never seen such a peaceful Regent. No, not only was he calm, there was also tenderness in his eyes.

Liu Yan pretended to be calm as she looked towards Xiao Lan.

The girl in front of her was not considered a devastatingly beautiful woman, only a beautiful woman. Her background was not even worth mentioning. A servant girl gave birth to a concubine, and her etiquette skills … He couldn't even mention it because there wasn't any.

She could not understand how a woman like this could make the magnificent Regent reveal such tender feelings.

Liu Yan was shocked, speechless, curious, and also envious.

Xiao Lan dropped his last son and smiled, "This wangfei has won."

Liu Yan smiled along. "That's right, wangfei won."

With that, Liu Yan stood up.

Xiao Lan raised her head, puzzled. As she raised her head, she quickly discovered Xuanyuan Yun standing beside her.

Xiao Lan stood up.

The sudden and excessive movement startled everyone, and everyone couldn't help but look towards Xiao Lan.

Xuanyuan Yun was similarly stunned for a moment before looking at Xiao Lan, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Lan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her in surprise. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to support her face, as if … It was a bit too much.

Sigh … Why so excited?

A moment later, Xiao Lan feigned calmness as she let out a light cough. Her clear eyes looked towards Xuanyuan Yun.

"Don't silently stand behind others. If you are too good-looking, you will scare others."

"Ugh …"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

Rufeng looked towards Xiao Lan. In this world, only she would dare to brazenly speak about the appearance of a prince.

Ning Xiang was already used to this. This array formation was simply nothing, so it was very calm. As for the others, they simply could not calm down.

Liu Yan looked at Xiao Lan in shock and then at Xuanyuan Yun.

The Regent hated it the most when people talked about his appearance. How could she dare …

Amidst everyone's shock and fear, Xuanyuan Feng suddenly smiled faintly.

"Listen..." The Princess seems to be praising This King. "

In an instant, everyone was petrified.

What did their prince say? Praise him? Was she praising him?!

And what shocked them the most was that their prince was actually smiling, and his laugh was especially real!

There were many people inside the pavilion, but at this moment, only Xuanyuan Feng and Xiao Lan could be counted as living beings.

Xuanyuan Yun strode and sat at the spot where Xiao Lan had sat earlier. He extended his hand and held onto Xiao Lan's wrist quite naturally as he exerted a little strength, pulling Xiao Lan to his side without giving any explanation.

"Come, play with this king."

The scorching hot palm passed through the purple muslin dress and quickly pressed on Xiao Lan's skin.

Xiao Lan looked down. Xuanyuan Feng's fingers were distinct, fair and long.

For a moment, Xiao Lan couldn't help but mock inwardly. A grown man's appearance was already extremely outrageous, and even his hands were so beautiful. This was truly too much!

Xuanyuan Yun quickly noticed Xiao Lan's abnormality and his pitch-black eyes followed Xiao Lan's gaze and looked towards his own palm.

Frowning, is there a problem with his hand? What was she always staring at?

"I will." "I will." "Canglan." Xuan Yuan's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Xiao Lan came back to his senses, raising his head to look at Xuanyuan Yun with a dazed look in his eyes, "Is there something you need?"

When he saw Xiao Lan's expression, Xuanyuan Wentian's brows furrowed and he suddenly exerted force with his palm, pulling Xiao Lan into his embrace.

The group that had just recovered from their petrification was once again shocked. Their eyes flashed with panic as they stared at the ground in unison.
