The Micro Garden is located in the back garden of Prince Xuanping's palace and was built when Fu Guan's father, Fu Lan, was still alive.

Fu Lan likes flowers and plants. When building the micro garden, he deliberately transplanted many seasonal plants from various places. As the seasons change, the scenery in the garden changes accordingly. Flowers and plants grow at different times in the four seasons, and each solar term is neither too colorful nor too deserted.

When Lou Xiyue came to Weiyuan with the handyman, he happened to meet several maids coming out of the garden. They bowed to Lou Xiyue one by one, and Lou Xiyue asked, "Where is your prince?" She glanced into the garden, "Why did he invite me here?"

The maid replied: "To return to the princess, the prince has been waiting in the garden for a long time. The prince invites the princess to come inside and talk about it. Then you will know the reason."

After that, the maids left one after another. Lou Xiyue looked back at them, and the doubts in her heart became even worse: What kind of tricks was Fu Guan playing?
"Your Majesty, please," the servant said.

Lou Xiyue looked forward, then walked inside. After a while, the flowers full of autumn chrysanthemums receded on both sides of her. When she raised her eyes again, she saw the Octagonal Pavilion covered by flowers and plants.

She took a closer look and saw Fu Guan standing in the pavilion, with Xuan Yi waiting at the side. The two of them were playing with something with their heads lowered. While they were moving, the sound of a piano could be heard from time to time in the Octagonal Pavilion.

Lou Xiyue thought to herself: Fu Guan is very "leisurely" and came here specifically to play the piano.

She walked over and asked at the same time: "Why are you calling me here?" As she got closer, Lou Xiyue saw that there was not only a long piano in the pavilion, but also many orchestral instruments, such as zither, Konghou, pipa, erhu and so on.

"What are you doing?" Lou Xiyue gently plucked the strings and said, "Why, in your late twenties, have you finally remembered your life ideal of playing the piano and playing music?" She turned to look at Fu Guan.

Hearing this, Fu Guan said with a smile: "These are not prepared for me. It is you who wants to play them - these are prepared for you. How about it? Do you have any instruments you like?"

"???" Lou Xiyue only had a question mark above his head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are these prepared for me? It's ridiculous. When did I say I wanted to study music theory?"

Fu Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, you are the one who nodded and agreed to sneak into Qianjiao Garden."

"So what?" Lou Xiyue said, "I promised to be this 'spy', but I never said I wanted you to find these things."

Fu Guan: "If you don't understand music theory, how can you sneak into the garden?" He said: "Don't forget, with what identity you want to enter Qianjiao Garden."

Lou Xiyue: "..."

She suddenly understood and realized that she seemed to have dug a hole for herself, so she had no choice but to say: "So it's this...that's all, I understand."

She glanced at the various orchestral instruments piled up in the pavilion and asked: "In that case... what is the identity of the person preparing this time?" As she said that, Lou Xiyue looked at Xuan Yi, who was also in the pavilion.

Xuan Yi smiled and replied: "My subordinate said, I hope the princess will not be angry."

"Since it is something I have promised a long time ago, I should abide by my promise. Even if the identity you find is not what I expected, I should act in accordance with my promise." Lou Xiyue said:
"I'm not so narrow-minded that I would get angry over such a trivial matter. Just say what you say."

Xuan Yi said: "The princess should know that the night banquet in Qianjiao Garden was prepared by Nie Huaishen. In order to allow the queen to sneak into the garden smoothly, I started with people under Nie Huaishen and finally decided on a candidate today——

"The other party is a distant relative of the Nie family's housekeeper. In the early years, his family fell into decline and he once lived in a romantic land. That girl was also famous for a long time, but her reputation was gradually forgotten after she redeemed herself. In recent years, there is little news about her in the public." Xuan Yi said:

"The Princess may have heard of her name before - she is Miss Izumo, the number one violin player in Jiangnan."

The Izumo girl of Cuiyan Tower caused a sensation with her beauty and talent.

Back then, Cuiyan Tower was crowded with visitors, and 90% of the guests who came to visit were there for her. I heard that someone once spent a lot of money just to hear her play a piece of music.

Its illustrious name is evident. Of course, Lou Xiyue also had a relationship with that Izumo girl, and it was all thanks to Wen Jisheng.

Two years ago, Lou Xiyue received a secret letter from Wen Jisheng, asking her to meet him in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Only then did he realize that Wen Jisheng had the Izumo girl with him.

Smell the sound of silence and enjoy the wine. He once bought wine at Cuiyan Tower and got acquainted with the Izumo girl. At that time, the Izumo girl was entangled by a domineering wealthy businessman. Wen Jisheng got into trouble and rescued the man.

But after he was rescued, he didn't know how to deal with the other party. Not only that, he also had an urgent task to deal with at that time.

In desperation, after hearing the silent sound, he called Lou Xiyue to help with the cooking.

Lou Xiyue naturally didn't have any good ideas. After much thought, she could only use the help of the wealthy businessman's enemies to cause some trouble for the wealthy businessman. Only then did Miss Izumo's urgent need be solved.

Since then, Lou Xiyue has not heard any news about Miss Izumo.

"I have heard a little about it." She said: "But Miss Izumo has already left Cuiyan Tower and returned home to be a good woman. Now I have decided to borrow her identity..."

After all, she was someone who had tried so hard to save. Lou Xiyue had to ask: "Did Nie Huaishen really include her in the list for this Qianjiaoyuan night banquet?"

This question is not difficult to answer.

Xuan Yi said: "The princess doesn't know something. Even though Miss Izumo has redeemed herself, she still has to rely on her family.

"Miss Izumo's family has been supported by the Nie family's housekeeper for many years. Now that the Nie family has established a relationship with the prince, they are naturally eager to send Miss Izumo over."

He said: "Whether Miss Izumo is willing or not, she cannot refuse. Because of this, she must be the one that attracts the attention of everyone at the banquet night. Therefore, if the princess wants to replace her, she will have to put in more effort."

As he spoke, Xuan Yi pointed at the musical instruments in a circle around him.

"..." Lou Xiyue nodded: "Okay, I understand."

On the other side, Fu Guan couldn't help laughing when he saw her headache expression. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, there's nothing else to do here. Just step aside first."

Hearing this, Xuan Yi dismissed the garden servants, leaving enough space for the two of them.

Fu Guan took a step closer: "I saw you looked different just now. Could it be that the Izumo girl is an acquaintance?"

Lou Xiyue shook her head and said: "I can't say we are familiar with each other, but we have met once." She simply explained the past in a few words, and then said: "I thought she was in peace with her after leaving Cuiyan Tower, but now she has become a Nie Huaishen’s chess piece.”

"The so-called impermanence of things is probably like this." Fu Guandao: "I didn't know there was this story in it. It can be regarded as an accident. So, what are your plans for the follow-up? Help her again?"

"I don't know." Lou Xiyue said, "We will decide after the banquet is over."

As she said that, her eyes fell on the strings, and she couldn't help but have a headache: "I think the top priority should be to save me - the questions you gave me are too difficult. Miss Izumo is the number one piano player in Jiangnan, how can I temporarily It’s impossible to learn a second piano player just by cramming!”

Fu Guan looked at her and smiled: "Don't worry, you are not alone. Am I still here?"

The business trip is almost over! It is expected that normal updates will resume next week
