Qingcheng's photographic memory had already shown its potential back in the residence, and today, it brought her benefits. Because she had memorized the palace rules word for word, Female Official Chen had no way to deal with her. She was the first to be released from the Hall of Elegance and ordered her to prepare for the music lesson the next day.
Ji Minmin panicked and stuttered a few times. She made a mistake and was punished to kneel for an extra two hours. Qian Yalan had the worst memory and had memorized five places wrongly. Originally, she had to kneel for another ten hours. Fortunately, Qian Yamei came over and pleaded for mercy. Female Official Chen finally showed mercy and reduced the punishment by four hours.
Qingcheng returned to Changrui Palace. Qingfeng and Mingyue asked a lot of questions, and when they learned that Miss hadn't suffered any physical pain, they finally felt at ease.
Ah Ji touched his swollen face and knelt down before Qingcheng.""Many thanks to Young Lady for saving my life. Ah Ji's life is nothing. Fortunately, Young Lady is fine.”
"Ah Ji, don't say that. What do you mean by life or death? We are all the same. Your Young Miss should be back soon, so you can rest assured. As for your face, I'll go and prepare some medicinal herbs. It'll definitely heal faster after applying them.”
"Thank you so much, Miss Mu Rong. It was also thanks to your intercession that the Empress did not punish him severely.”
Ji Minmin returned after two hours. When she saw Ah Ji, she asked with heartache,"Ah Ji, does your face still hurt? I've made you suffer."
"Ah Ji applied the medicine that Miss Mu Rong gave him and is feeling much better now. As for you, Miss, are you alright?”
"My knee hurts a little." "Right, let's go find my sister. I have something to tell her," Ji Minmin said.”
"Miss Mu Rong said that she would come over later.”
Sure enough, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qingcheng and Qingfeng came again.
"Min Min, you came back in time?"
"Not long ago." "It's all thanks to Sister's courage and knowledge that Concubine Ru was lenient. I only knelt for an extra hour."”
"That's good." Qingcheng sat down.
"Big sister, there is something that little sister doesn't understand.”Ji Minmin said.
"What is it?" Qingcheng asked.
"It was Qian Yamei who caused trouble. Why didn't you tell her? She had released the cockroach on purpose to scare people.”"She's always making things difficult for us. Why did you let her go?" Ji Minmin asked.”
"She just wanted to scare us. She didn't expect that the Empress would come and cause this matter to blow up. If I didn't say so, she would be hard pressed to absolve herself of the blame. Forget it, we haven't suffered much sin anyway, so we should forgive people. Moreover, everyone's father and brother are officials of the same dynasty, so we should give them some face.”
Ji Minmin was convinced." Sister is stupid, but Sister is thoughtful."”
"Where? Qian Yalan is the daughter of the Prime Minister and should be used to being arrogant. In the future, as long as we give in to her modestly and talk less to her, we will naturally be at peace.”
"Alright, I'll listen to you." "Fortunately, Sister is here," Ji Minmin said sincerely."Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to stay in this palace peacefully."”
"The Imperial Palace is not a place where everyone can live.”"Therefore, I hope to leave the palace as soon as possible," Qingcheng said.”
After a while, Ji Minmin suddenly asked,"Sister, you're not even afraid of the Empress, so why are you afraid of cockroaches?”
Qingcheng smiled embarrassedly.”
Qing Feng hurriedly said," Miss Ji, you might not know this, but Miss once swallowed half of a cockroach when she was young. When she realized that there was only half of the body left in the bowl, it was already too late. As a result, she vomited and had diarrhea. She only stopped after two days. From then on, Miss was afraid of cockroaches.”
"Oh, I see!" Ji Minmin was enlightened.
In order to save her face, Qing Feng said,""Actually, our young miss is very capable.”
"Qingfeng, have you forgotten what I taught you?”Qingcheng chided softly.
Qing Feng stuck out his tongue.”
"Then I'll punish you!"
Qingfeng was not afraid." My good miss, you are a magnanimous person."”
Qingcheng giggled." I'm going to punish you by sewing two more sachets!" she said.”
"Alright, Qingfeng is willing to be punished!" Qing Feng nodded willingly.
"Can you give me one?" Ji Minmin asked.
"Of course." Qing Feng was very generous.”
"Anyway, they will be bored here. It's better to find something to do.”Qingcheng said.
In the blink of an eye, it was a new morning in the Chuxiu Palace. Various musical instruments of different sizes were placed in the Chuxiu Hall. Under the leadership of Female Official Gong, the selected women chose their own musical instruments. Ji Minmin wanted to choose the zither, but Qian Yalan snatched the last one, so she could only choose the flute. Seeing that Sister Murong was empty-handed, she felt very strange. She was about to ask, but Female Official Gong spoke first,"Murong Qingcheng, why didn't you choose a musical instrument?”
"Replying to female official, this official's daughter doesn't know music.”Qingcheng said against her will. She was doing this because she wanted to fulfill her wish of leaving the imperial palace faster.
"You're a noble lady of the Murong Clan, yet you don't know how to play the zither and flute?" Lady Gong asked suspiciously.”
"That's right, my mother has always loved silence and doesn't like noise, so she never found anyone to teach my daughter the music of the zither.”
"Then you can pick one at will and practice harder," said Female Official Gong helplessly.”
"Yes, this official's daughter will do her best, but learning music is not something that can be accomplished in a day. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.”Qingcheng said on purpose.
"This official's disappointment is not a big deal. If the Crown Prince is disappointed, then you have no hope.”
"Yes." Qingcheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her original intention was to have the female official send her out of the palace on the grounds that she didn't know music. For this reason, Qingcheng had specially chosen the more difficult pipa to practice with.
Ji Minmin was worried for her." Sister, playing the pipa is extremely difficult. It takes a lot of time for beginners to learn it." You'd better go and change."
"There's no need to change. I just think the pipa is not bad. I like it very much.”Qingcheng said as she hugged the pipa, pretending to be very inexperienced.
"Alright, this official will teach you the blowing technique one by one. Now, you all go your own way.”
"Yes."
For a time, the drums and music in the Hall of Elegance were all playing, but it was chaotic and had no beauty at all. His voice was so loud that even Jin Yuqi, who was reading in the exhibition hall, heard it.
Because she had disturbed his reading mood, she couldn't help but be a little angry."Men, who is making a ruckus outside? You've disturbed this king so much that I can't read in peace!"
Yuming, who was standing guard outside the hall, quickly walked forward and reported,""Your Highness, it's from the Zhuxiu Palace. Please calm down, Your Highness!”
"Chuxiu Palace? Hmph, it's those women who are going to be selected again!" Jin Yuqi was furious." Go and tell Female Official Gong that I don't want to hear these messy melodies. If you want to teach them, teach them one by one."”
"Yes." Yuming lowered his head and left.
Jin Yuqi stood up and shouted,""Wuqing, bring me the sword."
"Master, please calm down! Choosing a female was also to better serve the master in the future.”Wu Qing appeared and held the Crown Prince's Green Dragon Sword in his hand.
"Wu Qing, even you think this prince needs a crown princess?”Jin Yuqi looked at him and held the Green Dragon Sword in his hand.
Wu Qing lowered his head and said," Wu Qing wouldn't dare. You are the Crown Prince, the future ruler of the country. The Crown Princess Consort is the future mother of the country! Moreover, Imperial Preceptor has already said so."
"Ruthless, you talk too much today!”Jin Yuqi suddenly used his lightness skill. In the blink of an eye, he was already outside the hall. The Azure Dragon Sword flew out of its scabbard with a sharp chill.
The Green Dragon Sword was made of the Coldest Black Iron, and it could cut through iron like mud. The sword hilt was engraved with the totem of the Green Dragon, and the scabbard was decorated with seven gems of various colors. Even the Green Dragon's eyes were strange pearls, dazzling and murderous.
Jin Yuqi was very familiar with the Green Dragon Sword, and he kept changing his moves. His body seemed to be flying freely in the clouds. Suddenly, he used his inner energy and the Green Dragon Sword instantly flew straight into the fake mountain in the distance. Boom! The rocks cracked one after another, and the palace maids were dumbfounded.
Wu Qing just silently watched his master. He knew that the Crown Prince was in a bad mood at the moment and it was best not to provoke him.
After nearly an hour, Jin Yuqi's anger finally subsided. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his body, which should be caused by the cold disease. He said to Wu Qing,"Follow this king to the Blazing Flame Pond!"
"Yes." Merciless put away the Green Dragon Sword and began to worry about His Highness 'health."Master, you?"
Jin Yuqi waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
Yuming went to Chuxiu Hall and conveyed the Crown Prince's message. Female Official Gong did not dare to be negligent and did as she was told. One by one, they took turns to play and teach.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, the selected women chatted in groups of three to five.
Ji Minmin leaned closer to Qingcheng and asked softly,""Sister, what kind of person do you think the current Crown Prince is?”
"I'm not sure." " I heard that he's both civil and martial," Murong Qingcheng said." He's made a lot of military achievements."”
"Isn't that a great hero?" Ji Minmin revealed a look of admiration.”
"A beauty paired with a hero?" "What's so good about accompanying the Crown Prince?" Qingcheng asked.”
"Shh!" "Sister, you can't talk nonsense." Ji Minmin looked around.”
Every time they talked about the current Crown Prince, Qingcheng couldn't control her mouth. She lightly smacked her lips and said,""Thank you for your reminder, sister."
"Sister, can you play the pipa?”Ji Minmin asked worriedly.
"I don't care. There are many people who want to be the crown prince's wife. Why should I be one of them?”
"Big Sister, why do you always say such depressing words?!" Ji Minmin couldn't help but shake her head.”
"Alright, I won't say it." Qingcheng held Ji Minmin's hand.”
"My greatest wish is to cure my mother's illness and accompany her well." Ji Minmin raised her eyebrows.”
As they were talking, Qian Yalan, who liked to stir up trouble, walked over again."Murong Qingcheng, is your lute good?”
Qingcheng didn't want to talk to her, and she couldn't be bothered.
Qian Yalan asked for a snub. She walked over and hugged Qingcheng's pipa.
"Miss Qian, what do you want? Throw it?" Ji Minmin asked.
"Smash it? Do you think I'm a fool?" Qian Yalan hugged her pipa and sat down.""This is the best pipa in the palace. I'll let you hear who is the one who understands it!”
