Imperial Study Room.
Qi Yun's Imperial Study Room was very elegant, with a desk made from the finest huanghuali wood, beside which there was a small winding waters of the ornamental stream. Nearby, a small red clay stove was boiling water.
The water boiled, rising gently, shrouding this corner in a misty haze, resembling a fairyland.
Perhaps having found his son who had been lost for many years, Qi Yun was in an exceptionally good mood. Nowadays, apart from his busy affairs of state, his favorite pastime was brewing tea, under the pretext of cultivating himself.
When Li Qingmu entered, this was the scene he saw.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
"Come, come, accompany me in a game of chess. Ah, within this Imperial Palace, your chess skills are unrivaled, even my newly found Xiao Shiqi can't rival you!"
Qi Yun set up the chessboard, sighing emotionally, while Li Qingmu's handsome face quivered slightly.
"Your subject... obeys the order."
