Emperor Yue summoned Wei Ya to the Imperial Study Room, indeed for the matter of appointing the Crown Prince.
However, at present, he was playing chess with Wei Ya.
Wei Ya had a gentle and mild disposition, which showed in his style of playing chess—he was cautious and hesitant. Even when presented with a favorable situation, he found it hard to make bold decisions and launch an aggressive assault.
The father and son played three games, and each time Emperor Yue won.
Wei Ya's face was filled with embarrassment, "Father Emperor, chess really isn't your son's forte. Perhaps it would be better to call Xiaoshu to keep you company. I'm afraid I might dampen Father Emperor's spirits!"
Emperor Yue waved his hand dismissively, "Enough of that, he won't have many peaceful days ahead, so let him rest for these three days! As for you, I'm afraid you'll have plenty of leisure time in the future."
Wei Ya's hand holding the black piece paused.
