Xue Lin's lips curled up slightly. She thought that Ji Xuan was quite bold to recommend himself. Shouldn't men in this era stay at home and let their parents arrange their marriage?
"Oh? Then Xuexi was curious about how old Young Master was.”
"I won't hide it from you, Princess.”
Nineteen? He was the same age as her. She couldn't help but ask about his birth characters. They were actually on the same day and month. The smile on her face deepened.
While the two were chatting happily, Xue Lin saw Hao Yuan's slightly angry eyes staring at her and quickly said goodbye and returned to her seat. The crowd continued to exclaim.
"This poem is neat and has a broad artistic conception. It can be said to be of the highest quality. The first place is well-deserved."
"Let me see, let me see! After all, the scenery of West Lake in June was different from the four seasons. The lotus leaves connecting the sky were infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun were unusually red. Good, good Sun Reflecting Lotus Bie Yanghong!”
Xue Lin didn't have much joy on her face. She listened to everyone's praise, but her eyes were searching for Feng Lan. When he finally appeared in her line of sight, she had already walked over impatiently.
"Have you found it?" she asked Feng Lan.
Feng Lan shook her head.
Xue Lin sighed and murmured,""It's not easy for me to leave the palace…"
"This subordinate is incompetent. This subordinate will go and inquire again.”
Xue Lin stopped him." Forget it. It's too late. Feng Lan, thank you for your hard work. You must have encountered a lot of trouble on the way, right?"”
"This is my duty! Actually, it's not too much trouble, but…"
Xue Lin listened quietly, frowning from time to time. Her palms broke out in cold sweat from time to time. While she was engrossed in listening, Feng Lan stopped and gave her a look. She finally understood. When she turned around and saw everyone looking at her expectantly, she was completely confused.
As she thought about what had just happened, she sat down next to Hiroshi gracefully with a faint smile on her face.
"I want you to play a song." Hiroshi reminded her softly. She was stunned and almost collapsed. What? How could she play the zither? She didn't know anything about zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Although she had practiced hard in the palace for many days, her foundation was limited. It was already good enough that she could play intermittently. How could she bring it out? Moreover, it was in front of these aristocrats!
"I…I don't know how to." In the end, she still leaned close to Hiroshi's ear and said this.
Hiroshi was also shocked. He lowered his voice and said,""How come you don't even know this?"
Seeing that more and more eyes were on her, Xue Lin could only smile awkwardly. She took the zither and plucked it gently. The sound was crisp and the echo was melodious. It seemed to be a good zither. However, she would not…After thinking about it, she steeled her heart and said to everyone," Snow Tide would like to sing a song for everyone. Usually, it's Uncle who plays Snow Tide and sings. Today, can Uncle…" Her eyes kept signaling to Hiroshi. Hiroshi felt helpless and could only agree, but…what exactly did she want to sing? How was he supposed to play?
"When will the bright moon appear?" Xue Lin whispered to him again. He calmed down a little. He had never heard this song before. He had only heard Xue Lin sing it often. He had also heard her play it intermittently, but he had never heard it in its entirety! Forget it, it's better than not having any clues, right?
After making up his mind, he took the zither and tried a few notes on it. Seeing Xue Lin blinking at him, he gritted his teeth and played slowly. Xue Lin started singing,"
When will the bright moon appear? I ask the blue sky with wine. I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to go back with the wind, but I am afraid that it is too cold at the top of the palace. Dancing and making clear the shadow, how can it seem to be in the world? Turn to the vermilion pavilion, low Qi door, light sleepless. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye to the round? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. It is difficult to complete this since ancient times. I hope that people will live long, thousands of miles away to share the moon.
Xue Lin's singing voice was very sweet and elegant. In the lotus garden filled with flowers and under everyone's intoxicated eyes, her singing became more and more ethereal and refined. Hiroshi also cooperated well. When the last note fell, everyone was still immersed in the music for a long time.
This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can the world hear it?
What a divine song!
At this moment, no one could tell whether the zither or the song was good. However, this time, they really did not come in vain. The sound would really linger in the air for three days.
Hiroshi clearly realized that from now on, she had completely integrated into the aristocratic circle. Her future path would become broader, and she would become the ultimate goal of all the young masters. Of course, this also included the extremely proud Zi Qing. Their marriage would not have any more twists and turns.
What about him? He would only be her Imperial Uncle. From the moment the plan began, it was already destined. Now, everything was going surprisingly smoothly, but why did his heart hurt so much?
"Ziqing!" Xue Lin stopped the focus of the crowd and revealed a gentle smile. Everyone was suffocated and stared at her as if their souls had been stolen away. Zi Qing's face flushed red as he walked up to her.
The two of them, one was extraordinarily beautiful, the other was as handsome as an immortal. At this moment, they stood together in harmony and happiness, like a pair of perfect people, firmly attracting everyone's attention.
Zi Qing knew that everyone was looking at them. To be honest, she was indeed very outstanding. He had originally thought that she was just a flirtatious princess who looked like gold on the outside. He did not expect that…her talent was actually not inferior to Yun Miao's!
When she sang " When the Bright Moon Appears ", he was so shocked that his heart trembled slightly. For someone as proud as him, there were very few people in this world who could catch his eye. She had undoubtedly become one of them.
Zi Qing smiled. It was a smile of sincere admiration. "Princess, what do you want Ziqing to do?”Since he had lost, he had to help her with something.
Zi Qing smiled. It was a smile of sincere admiration. "Princess, what do you want Ziqing to do?”Since he had lost, he had to help her with something.
However, she smiled and said softly," I know that this matter might put you in a difficult position, but in order not to hurt anyone..."
"Princess, feel free to speak. As long as Ziqing can do it, he will do his best.”
" Uh... this..." She bit her lower lip and thought about her words." You and Zike are both very outstanding. I don't want to hurt either of you, but if we get married, it will inevitably hurt you or him." Therefore, I can only marry one of you and Zike. This is my personal opinion. Because Xuexi grew up by her father's side, she knew how painful it was for him to miss his mother every day. Therefore, she swore that she would only marry one person who was close to her in the future and would never let him down. And the only person I want to marry is you.”
Zi Qing was shocked on the spot, and a layer of mist instantly appeared in his eyes. If water was three thousand, he would only take a ladle to drink. This was the most expensive promise in this world, and he had obtained it. The romantic legend of holding your hand and growing old together, the dream of love that I once thought was the most unreachable, actually came from Princess Anping's mouth! For a moment, he only knew how to stare at her in a daze. He stared at her without blinking. Even his breathing almost stopped. It was as if she was the only one left in the world at this moment.
He was so lucky that she actually treated him sincerely! No, this was impossible. How could she change so quickly? He had a feeling that she was lying to him, but even so, his heart was still shaken. This kind of shock was something he had never encountered in his life. It was the most expensive and extravagant thing in the world, love. A love that was enough to make people turn their backs to the fire.
"Ziqing?" Seeing that he was silent, she called out worriedly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he impulsively hugged her in the lotus garden that was filled with the fragrance of flowers. "I'm content with your words. Thank you, Xuexi. I also want to promise you that I, Wei Ziqing, will be loyal to you for the rest of my life. I will do everything I can to love and protect you.”
At that moment, she knew that she had won Ziqing's heart. She had succeeded, but there was no joy in her heart. She admired herself more and more for lying to such an extent. Hao Yuan reminded her to act as soon as possible, because Yun Niao had already been to the Prime Minister's residence several times and had reached a tacit agreement with the Prime Minister. He had even hinted that she would first obtain Zi Qing and Zi Ke's bodies, but she couldn't do such a thing. In the end, she had even said those words to Zi Qing, saying that she would only marry him. If Hiroshi found out, he would probably scold her fiercely, right? However, he did not know that marrying Ziqing was already her biggest concession and bottom line.
After she returned to the palace, she began to practice calligraphy and piano with Ling Shuang. Every night, she quietly waited for the guards to inquire about a few words. She had very few connections, and Hiroshi did not intend to bring her into their network. Fortunately, she met many scholars at the poetry meet, and they slowly became her power.
Ji Xuan had entered the palace once, and Xue Lin had a good chat with him. She asked him many questions about the army and the life of the aristocrats, and Ji Xuan patiently answered them one by one. Before they left, the two of them were reluctant to part, and finally gave each other a token before giving up.
After sending Ji Xuan off, Hiroshi's voice rang out from behind him,""Your current mission is Ziqing and Zike. It's best not to provoke the others in case something goes wrong. I'm moving into your Tranquil Palace tomorrow, but there are still ten days before your wedding. You can't be careless during this period.”
She didn't say anything, and her emotions were difficult to calm down. At this moment, Xiaomei shouted from afar,""Princess, bad news! Not good!"
