The eldest princess stroked the paint-peeled hanging flower door. No matter how good a place is, if no one lives there and no one repairs it, it will eventually fall into disrepair.
If she didn't fight for it, she would have withered along with the Zhaoyang Palace and been buried in the dust, and no one in the capital would have remembered her former glory and honor.
Qiao Yue ran in crying and threw herself into the eldest princess' arms.
"Aunt, I'm sorry that I couldn't complete what you asked me to do."
The eldest princess wrung out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from Qiao Yue's face. "Good child, don't cry. I know I've wronged you. It's really hard for our Qiao Yue to associate with such an inferior person."

The princess placed a black piece on the chessboard and said cheerfully, "Ji Yunhuan was lucky. Winning one piece is nothing. The real show has just begun. It's still uncertain who will win."
"Yu'er, go and get Lord Xu. I want to finish this game of chess with him."
