Xia Tian was in a good mood, so he started to play chess with Shen Nian.
"You can also play chess?" Shen Nian was surprised. She had never heard that she had learned it.
Xia Tian shook his head and said as a matter of course, "No, it's just right that you teach me."
Shen Nian laughed in silence, he really didn't play by the rules.
The two of them played chess in the warm room for a while until Ningxiang started to serve the meal.
After Shen Nian finished dinner with Xia Tian, he played chess for a while before returning to Lingyun Pavilion.
The next day, Shen Nian came back from duty and went directly to Jinglan Garden.
"The Ice Skating Festival is coming up in a few days. The Emperor asked me to bring you to the palace to play and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"Okay, we must learn these rules. There are nobles in the palace. If I accidentally bump into them, I will lose my life." Xia Tian nodded in agreement.
She couldn't let others find fault with her for not following the rules. By then, even Shen Nian probably wouldn't be able to save her. That's how it's played out in TV dramas.
"Then I'll ask a nanny to teach you tomorrow." Chen Nian felt relieved when he saw Xia Tian agreed. He didn't want to do anything that would force her.
So he came back today to ask for her opinion. He had already invited the person and would bring him over tomorrow.
"Okay, then just have Madam come directly to Jinglan Garden. I will definitely study hard. The more life-saving skills I have, the better."
Shen Nian laughed. His worries were completely unnecessary. This girl was always so insightful.
