Chapter 44

"Your Highness doesn't want to hide your secrets, right?" Cao Fu asked with an innocent smile.

Since Miss Cao is willing to dance, of course this palace is willing to cheer up the banquet. Seeing Cao Fu ask, the prince stretched his brows again and agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, please let the courtiers go down and change their clothes. Cao Fu saw that the prince agreed, and thanked him. When he turned around and left in front of Luo Zijin's seat, he raised his chin proudly.

The prince was also busy with the royal house to fetch the guqin he often used. When the two came and went, Wang Wu got the piano, and Cao Fu also changed into dance clothes, and his graceful posture was even more charming and moving against the backdrop of the tailor-made dance clothes. Even the woman's little gong couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking at her intently, purifying her eyes.

"Your Highness, the courtiers are ready. I don't know if it's because of the change of dance clothes, Cao Fu's voice sounds more tactful and soft. The posture of the blessed body is also more and more soft and moving.

"Good. The prince nodded, and his eyes stayed on Cao Fu from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, before taking a deep breath, raising his hands, and slowly putting them on the strings. Seeing this, Cao Fu hurriedly put up his hands and waited for the music to sound.

Listening to the qinshui pavilion, he suddenly fell into silence. Everyone focused their eyes on Cao Fu, even the prince looked at her, and in a few breaths, his fingers jumped, and the elegant rhyme of the guqin flowed out of his fingers. It's really a light and slow twist to wipe and pick up, and there is love before it becomes a tune. As soon as the sound of the prince's subordinates came out, it attracted everyone's attention to him. Even Cao Fu almost missed a beat as soon as he danced. If she hadn't refocused, I'm afraid she would have lost her adult.

Asking the prince to accompany her was part of her design, but she didn't want to, the prince's piano skills were really better than those famous teachers she had invited before. Surprise is surprise, but she is more of a joy. She learned to dance because she loves to dance, and competing with Luo Zijin is secondary. She is confident that her dancing style is the best in the capital. Now that she can have such an excellent piano skill from the prince, she really has no regrets except for her true purpose.

Cao Fu began to dance, and some of the crowd turned their gaze back to her. Among all the people, only Luo Zijin never turned his head to look at Cao Fu since he turned his head to look at the prince. For her, it was the prince's piano skills that really interested her. It's not that she hasn't heard this song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", she can play it herself, but she just listens to it too much, but she feels that this is the essence of this song. He was stunned by himself, just staring at the movements of the prince's hands.

The prince's frail body is just Taoguang's obscurity, and he is the senior brother of Murong Shuo and Qiao Zhihan, and the internal strength of this martial arts is not weak. was watched by Luo Zijin like this, how could he not be aware. It's just that she realizes that her focus is only on her own hands, so she can only sigh in her heart and just don't know.

Tingqin Water Pavilion is located on the water of the garden lake, and it is actually very close to Murong Shuo's Qingfeng Courtyard. It's just that one is a guest residence and the other is the Prince's Mansion Garden, so there are more than three walls between them, and it is far away from the road. But there are no other buildings around the Qinshui Pavilion, the sound comes from the lake, standing on the second floor of the Qingfeng Courtyard, you can hear it clearly.

The prince wanted to have a night banquet for five candidates, but Murong Shuo didn't feel any interest, but he couldn't help Qiao Zhihan to know the situation. Therefore, he suggested that the prince set the location of the night banquet at the Tingqin Water Pavilion. Qiao Zhihan used the excuse of being a guest in his Qingfeng Courtyard tonight, and secretly listened to the movements over there in the Qinshui Pavilion with his internal strength.

The sound of the prince's piano came along the lake, and it could be heard clearly without internal force. It's just that Qiao Zhihan doesn't know much about music, so she can only look at Murong Shuo and ask, "Senior brother, what is this song played by Senior Brother Prince?" Why did that Miss Cao ask Senior Brother Prince to play this song to cheer her up?"

This piece is called "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", which was composed by the queen when the emperor and the queen were most affectionate, and taught to the emperor. The emperor played this song on the queen's birthday to cheer up the queen's singing and dancing, which became a good story. Murong Shuo looked down at the innocent and ignorant Qiao Zhihan and explained.

"In that case, this song was composed by my brother's parents back then? No wonder my brother can play it so well!" Qiao Zhihan looked at Tingqin Shuixie with admiration, although she couldn't see the prince, but when she heard the sound of the piano, she was also fascinated by it.

However, after worshipping for a long time, she seemed to remember something, and asked suspiciously: "Does that Miss Cao also know this story, so she asked Senior Brother Prince to play this tune? What does she mean?"

"What can it mean, it's just that I want to emulate the emperor and queen back then. Murong Shuo tried his best to ignore Qiao Zhihan's admiration for the crown prince just now and replied.

"Emulate the emperor and queen, why should she? Senior Brother Crown Prince even agreed. Didn't Senior Brother see her intentions?" Qiao Zhihan didn't want to believe it and denied the facts.

"I can't see it, I just have to cooperate. Cao Fu is the daughter of the military department, and she is bound to account for one of the last two candidates. You've been paying attention lately, don't make a mistake or forget the rules. Murong Shuo looked at Qiao Zhihan, who was a little out of control, and admonished.

He is not afraid that Qiao Zhihan will make mistakes, because no matter what she does wrong, he can help her solve it. All he was worried about was that Qiao Zhihan would blame herself for her mistakes and hindering the prince. He didn't want to see her sad, so he could only tell her in advance through the prince's affairs. She is just for the good of the prince, and she will control herself.

"I know, I will definitely not let the prince master ...... again Your Highness is embarrassed. It's just that His Royal Highness will really choose that Miss Cao in the end?" Qiao Zhihan is really for the prince's business, and she will be obedient. It's just that she still asked unwillingly.

"It's not her, it's also the Miss of the Hua family, or the Miss Fei family. Of the two candidates, the person of the second prince is bound to occupy one. If the Divine Tree chooses her in the end, it can only accept her fate. Murong Shuo shook his head and sighed.

"What about Prime Minister Luo's daughter? I heard that yesterday she asked Her Highness for a small gong. What do you think?" Qiao Zhihan's mood gradually stabilized, although there was still music coming from the lake in the wind, but she didn't understand it and didn't care anymore, just asked.

"It's just a coincidence. Murong Shuo didn't want to mention the matter of Xiaogong in front of Qiao Zhihan, so he just said.

"That's it, there's no beginning or end, senior brother, you also know that I don't understand your words well, so you can say a few more words. Qiao Zhihan scratched her head, her face full of confusion.

"Do you really want to know?" Murong Shuo looked at Qiao Zhihan and said seriously. He knew what she wanted to know, but she just didn't want to admit it. If it hurts her, even if it is a fact, he doesn't want to say it.
