Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 160 Encounter
After Ling Youyao had lunch at the princess mansion, Fu Yunchuo had a sudden whim and called a group of young men in white clothes to come and play music.

"Everyone in the palace's residence is multi-talented, three points better than the musicians in the palace. I like listening to Shixi playing the piano the most on weekdays."

After finishing speaking, a young man holding a piano walked out of the crowd, with clear and gentle eyes, a very fair complexion, and a slight smile on his lips. Princess Guojing."

Ling Youyao looked at the young man secretly, and when she met his eyes, she felt inexplicably familiar.

Where did she seem to have seen these eyes?

Fu Yunchuo was in a good mood, and said to Shi Xi: "It's rare for Princess Jing to come to the house as a guest, let's play one of your best pieces."

"Yes." Shi Xi hugged the qin and turned around, walked to the side and sat down, put the qin on the table, stretched out a hand with sharp joints, and gently placed it on the strings.

The curling sound of the piano slowly came out from the fingertips, and a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" went up the beam.

When Ling Youyao heard this song, she couldn't help but look at Shi Xi more.

The eldest princess's mansion raised a lot of public affairs, and everyone knew it well, but no one dared to bring it to the public.But Shi Xi was just one of the many faces, but he dared to openly play "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" to express his feelings to the eldest princess.

I don't know if he is favored by the eldest princess, or because he is bold?

Obviously, Fu Yunchuo was not moved by his confession, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

Others at the scene either dismissed Shi Xi's move, or turned a blind eye to it. They are also the counselors of the princess mansion. They understand that only by winning the favor of the eldest princess can they live better, but the dignity engraved in their bones prevents them. Let go of your face, and just like Shi Xi, go to ask for favors openly.

Ling Youyao ate her snacks in silence, and suddenly remembered the piece of music she heard when she passed the courtyard just now. Although she only heard a section, the flavor of it was deeper than Shixi's, but she didn't know who was playing the piano.

Fu Yunchuo noticed her absent-mindedness, and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that his playing is too bad for your liking?"

As soon as these words came out, a crack appeared on Shi Xi's gentle face, and he almost played it wrong.

The others turned their eyes away one after another, pretending not to hear the words, but there was a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.

Ling Youyao could feel Shi Xi's embarrassment without looking, and quickly explained: "Your Highness misunderstood, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't know anything about piano art, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I am good at playing the piano."

"You are modest." Fu Yunchuo didn't believe her words, and stopped immediately, "Okay, you go down."

Shi Xi looked a little embarrassed, reluctantly put away the piano, and gave Ling Youyao a resentful look before leaving.

Ling Youyao felt bitter, and said that there are many right and wrong places where there are many women, and now it seems that men are the same.

When Shi Xi left, Fu Yunchuo no longer had the heart to listen to the music, and said to Ling Youyao: "I'm a little tired today, so I won't keep you for dinner, and I will send someone to take you back later."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ling Youyao readily agreed.

After finally leaving the princess mansion, she felt relieved.

On the way back, Ling Youyao said to Yin Zhu: "Next time I will never dare to go to the Princess Mansion again."

Yin Zhu comforted and said: "What are you afraid of? You are Princess Jing. According to your seniority, you should call the eldest princess a royal sister. He is just a counselor raised by the eldest princess in the mansion. He treated you like that just now. You didn't treat him. For the sake of the Eldest Princess, I am extra merciful."

"That's right," Lu Bao also said, "From my servant's point of view, the Eldest Princess doesn't seem to like that person very much, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Ling Youyao subconsciously blurted out: "Then who do you think the eldest princess likes?"

Lu Bao was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I don't even know about this."

There are so many people in the eldest princess's mansion, and each has its own merits. If she was asked to choose a favorite, she probably wouldn't be able to choose one.

Yin Zhu was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Holding her chin, Ling Youyao looked at the quaint street outside the car window, and murmured: "It's nothing, I just want to gossip."

Yinzhu and Lubao looked at each other, but said nothing.

The carriage was driving unhurriedly on the wet Qingshiban Street. Today, the snow stopped, the snow on the road gradually melted, and the shops on both sides returned to their previous vitality. When passing Tianxiang Pavilion, Ling Youyao suddenly wanted to take a look. Zhen Pavilion, so people went to the other side.

Since its opening, the business of Qianzhen Pavilion has been very good. Lu Sheng is so busy every day that he gets dizzy. The heavy snow these days just gave him a chance to rest.

But as soon as the snow stopped, he got busy again.

When Ling Youyao came, Lu Sheng was sorting out the account books for the past month. Seeing her coming, he quickly put down his work and came up to her.

"Ma'am, why are you here? It's very cold today. If you need anything, you can send someone to let me know. Why do you need to go there yourself?"

"I happened to be out on business, so I thought of coming over to take a look." Ling Youyao smiled.

Lu Sheng poured hot tea for her, and said, "It's been snowing these days, so there's not much business, but after the snow stopped today, a few tables of business came again, although it's not as cold as before, but it's freezing cold today, I think the big guys are too." I don't want to go out."

Holding hot tea, Ling Youyao looked at the situation in the lobby downstairs, thoughtfully.

Lu Sheng thought she was worried, so he said: "You don't have to worry too much, we are still doing well, when the weather gets warmer, business will naturally improve."

The nobles in the capital always like to draw something new. Although there are many tricks in Qianzhen Pavilion, it seems that it is just the same after a long time.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Youyao said: "The winter in the capital is not long, but if we want to wait passively like this, I'm afraid we will have to close the door when the spring begins."

"Madam, what do you think we should do?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Let me go back and think about it carefully before I tell you."

"it is good."

While the two were talking, a soft female voice suddenly came from downstairs: "I don't know if your shopkeeper is here?"

Ling Youyao heard the prestige and looked over, and saw that the girl was wearing an elegant Yuehua skirt, surrounded by a thick cloak, her eyebrows were like smoke, her eyes were full of waves, her lips were not dotted and vermilion, like a lotus flower in June, elegant but not lost Delicate.

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have noticed her gaze, and looked up.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and Ling Youyao met those black and clear eyes, as if something touched her heartstrings.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at her, then looked away.

Ling Youyao shook her head, secretly lamented her beauty in her heart, then turned to Lu Sheng and said, "Go down and have a look."

"Hey." Lu Sheng got the order and hurried downstairs.

Ling Youyao looked at Mu Xiaoxiao secretly from the corner of her eyes, and whispered to Yinzhu, "Do you know that girl? She is so pretty too."

Yinzhu: "." You are not bad either!
