Today was the day to visit the empress dowger Meilin did not sleep peacefully knowing what was in store for his lady, Le Huan was now bowing before the angry empress dowger.

"I see your temperament has changed" the empress dowger said

Le Huan nodded in agreement not saying anything thinking the empress behavior was cute he covered his mouth to hide his smile.

"What brings you here concubine Na Juan?" The empress dowger asked in a foul mood

"His imperial majesty orders that I visit her imperial majesty" he said

"I see you can leave now that you have visited me" she said

Meilin sigh in relief thinking they could leave freely.

"But I do not want to leave" Le Huan said

This had made the hole palace shook what did he said,

"What!" The empress dowger said in an angry tone

"I said his imperial majesty said I should visit but I'd like to stay with empress for a while" he said calmly

"And what makes you so sure this old lady wants to stay with you?"

The empress dowger was really cute only Le Huan can understand, the empress dowger was just your typical granny old cranky and needed company.

"I'm not confident the empress dowger wants to say with Juan but Juan want to stay with empress dowger" he said

The empress dowger looked down on him sensing he wasn't lying.

"And what's makes you want to stay with this empress dowger"

"Well does empress dowger play Xiangqi?" he asked

The empress dowger chuckled coldly it's been years since someone asked her that question and years since she played the game.

"Yes this empress dowger plays do you"

"Juan plays but he is not very good and desires someone wise to teach him and he felt the empress would be wise since she has years of wisdom" Juan said

It wasn't a lie Le Huan has played with many elder he was able to beat most but there was a few who he could not beat and wishes to defeat, since they were in the ancient times the empress dowger would have more knowledge on the game than most in the modern era.

The empress dowger nod then turned to the servant next to her

"Go get me the Xiangqi today I shall teach this concubine how to play" the empress dowger smiled

The two of them went to the palace garden and sit before a small table with a Xiangqi board between them with hot serve to them,

"You shall move first child" she said sipping the tea

Le Huan nods and made the first move the empress dowger looked then closed her eyes then moved, Le Huan watched the empress dowger moved swiftly each time she moved and each step she took was swift accurate and right he was really no match for her but he was glad he decided to learn from the empress dowger.

The empress dowger smiled as she watches the young concubine struggles with her moves it's been years since she last played but playing with this boy made it feel like yesterday this little boy wasn't her opponent suddenly he made a surprising move the empress dowger paused for a second and really think, the little boy had gave her some difficulty moves before but they were a bit easy to counter but this move it gave a bit of trouble one wrong move could put at a bit of disadvantage this little boy have great potential but for now he was still a novice she counters that move then attack and defeat Juan's leader.

Le Huan looked down at the board he was defeated so easily but he wasn't upset instead she nods accepting her defeat.

"Juan has been defeat he congratulates her imperial majesty on her victory"

The empress dowger open her fan and slightly fan herself

"I see promise in you concubine Na Juan come visit me more and I shall teach you"

"This concubine will be glad to so she could learn more from the empress dowger" he said.

The empress dowger nods leaving it at that then Juan bowed and left Meilin was surprised on how well he dealt with the empress dowger without incurring her wrath the miss was truly otherworldly.
