Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 105

Hot spring palace, Yixue Pavilion.

"The princess said she wanted to play a new game. What is it?" Bai Ruoshu asked.

"This game is called 'You Draw, I Guess'." Siyu repeated the rules of the game. "Today there are many people playing, so we will take turns. Whoever guesses correctly first will come up and draw. We will take turns for an incense stick of time, and then see who has the most guesses. Except for Mingyue and me, you can all drink. The one who guesses the most will be rewarded by this princess, and the one who guesses the least will be fined."

"Then let's get started."

"Okay, let's play rock-paper-scissors. The loser starts first."

Several people were happily playing the word guessing game, and the time of an incense stick passed quickly.

"Cai Die, tell me the result quickly."

"The person who guessed the most words correctly was Master Xiaoyan, who guessed seven correctly. Next was the Princess and Miss Mingyue, who each guessed five correctly. The person who guessed the least was Master Xiaobai, who only guessed two correctly."

"Hey, this is my first time playing this game. I'm not familiar with it yet, so it's normal that I guess less."

"It's okay, there are still many words. Let's take a break and then continue playing."

The emperor and Fang Qingyan were walking in the palace accompanied by a group of palace maids and guards, when they suddenly heard laughter coming from the courtyard in front.

"What's ahead?"

"Your Majesty, in front is Yixue Pavilion where the princess and Miss Ming live." Eunuch Zhou looked up and said.

"It sounds like it's very lively, let's go check it out."

Arriving at the gate of Yixue Pavilion, the emperor stopped the eunuch who wanted to inform them, left the palace maids and guards outside the door, and only allowed Fang Qingyan and Eunuch Zhou to accompany him.

The three of them walked into the yard and saw Siyu, Mingyue, Yan Haiyun and others jumping around and having a lot of fun. They didn't notice the emperor coming at all.

After a while, Eunuch Zhou coughed lightly, which attracted everyone's attention.

"emperor."

"Your humble servant/disciple pays respect to His Majesty."

"Fang Jieyu."

"Greetings to the princess, and to all the gentlemen."

"No need to be polite. What are you playing?"

"It's a hopscotch game." Siyu told the emperor how to play and the rules.

"It looks interesting, can I join in?"

"Of course you can. Concubine Fang, come play too. Let's regroup. The emperor and Concubine Fang, I and Master Xiaoyan are in one group, and Mingyue, Lord Su, General Chu and Lord Xiaobai are in another group."

It was a rare opportunity for the emperor and his subjects to have fun together, so he was particularly excited. Fang Qingyan had been brought up with strict family education since she was a child, and had never played so freely before, so she was also eager to try.

Beitang Mo Ran felt bored staying alone in the huge Dongming Palace and wanted to find Su Xunxian to drink tea and play chess. The maid went to Jingping Garden and reported that he was not there. Even Yan Haiyun and Bai Ruoshu were not there either. This made him very curious. Since he couldn't find Su Xunxian, he might as well go and see Siyu.

Beitang Mo Ran came to Yixiu Pavilion. Before he entered the yard, he heard laughter inside. He smiled faintly, knowing that Siyu was playing games with her friends.

He walked into the courtyard and happened to see the emperor gesticulating with his hands, which surprised him. He grew up with the emperor and knew his nephew's personality better than anyone else. He was a man of few words, serious, and even a little old-fashioned. It was the first time that he was gesticulating so freely today.

"Your Highness Prince Chen." Eunuch Zhou was the first to see Beitang Mo Ran.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

"The prince is here. We are playing a word guessing game. Would you like to join us?" Siyu said with a smile.

"Okay." He never refuses Siyu's invitation.

"I'm a little tired, you guys go play, I'm going back to the palace."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Siyu walked over and took Beitang Moran's hand, "Come, I'll tell you how to play."

Everyone played the word guessing game for a while, and then played hopscotch with Mingyue for a while, and time passed quickly.

The kitchen manager Tao came to Yixue Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Princess, and all the gentlemen, lunch is ready. Please move to Lingmei Pavilion to eat."

"I understand, please step down."

"We've been playing for so long, and I'm really tired and hungry. Let's go quickly." Siyu said.

After everyone had their meal at Lingmei Pavilion, they returned to their own residences to rest.
