Chapter 47 Searching for Sound

Early in the morning, the matter of the prince's reward to Cao Fu for the "Five-color Peony Map" at last night's night banquet has long been known to everyone. Everyone also praised the prince and Cao Fu for performing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" together. Even the casino set up which candidate was selected for the gambling game, and Cao Fu was overwhelming.

Qiao Zhihan, who originally felt that Cao Fu was more of an eyesore, heard the talk of the people in the morning, and couldn't help but panic even more, forgetting Murong Shuo's explanation last night, and rushed straight to the prince's main hall halfway before he realized what he had done.

But if she wanted to turn around, she was really unwilling. can only hesitate in place, hesitating whether to advance or retreat. Fortunately, she didn't linger for long, and Murong Shuo slowly walked to her side. He knows Qiao Zhihan's character best, so he also expected today's events. In order not to embarrass her alone, he appeared by her side at the right time.

Qiao Zhihan saw Murong Shuo walking slowly, thinking that he had just happened to come over, he didn't think too much, he just felt saved, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, what a coincidence, are you going to find Your Highness?"

"Your Highness made an appointment with me to play chess before, so if you're fine, go back first. Murong Shuo ignored Qiao Zhihan's joy and persuaded.

"Can't I go along? I want to study together?" Qiao Zhihan couldn't help but grab Murong Shuo's sleeve and prayed with her eyes.

"No, we're going to play chess, and it's inconvenient to have you. Murong Shuo sternly refused. But he didn't take away the sleeves that Qiao Zhihan was holding.

"But, I will obediently not speak......" Qiao Zhihan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally saw that Murong Shuo's face really did not change at all, so he had to give up and let go. Reluctantly looked at the prince's main hall, turned back three times one step at a time, and then let go of his steps and left until he turned the corner and couldn't see. And in the middle of this, she didn't even look at Murong Shuo again. Although Murong Shuo's eyes were full of gloom, he also liked her persistence and focus.

After Qiao Zhihan left completely, Murong Shuo raised his feet and walked towards the main hall of the prince. He didn't actually make an appointment to play chess with the prince, it was just an excuse to go to him. But now, there must be nothing more than this reason to the prince's liking.

The five candidates were sent to the mansion, and he could only stay in the mansion and could not do anything. He had no intention of choosing a concubine, but now although he chose it, these people sent it, and he knew that the final result had been decided. Why bother with choosing? Moreover, watching several women fighting back and forth, he was very annoyed.

Murong Shuo's search was just so that he could relax a little. Playing the chessboard in the Qingfeng Courtyard, it began to fall in black and white. However, after a while, Murong Shuo, who was deaf and clear-sighted, faintly heard the sound of a piano coming.

Seeing that Murong Shuo stopped, the prince also improved his internal strength and listened quietly, and sure enough, he heard the sound of the piano coming from nowhere, and the tune was very familiar. After listening carefully, he and Murong Shuo glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix!"

"Can you hear the sound of the piano?" asked the prince. Although he said that he was Murong Shuo's senior brother, it was only a little earlier than him, Murong Shuo had the family heirloom internal force of the Murong family as the foundation, and his skill was many times higher than him.

"Apricot Garden...... Shomei Garden. Murong Shuo listened intently, and quickly discerned the direction to answer.

"Is it her?" As soon as the prince heard Songmei Yuan, he remembered Luo Zijin who sang "Crane Song" last night, and couldn't help but smile, "Go take a closer look?"

"Your Highness, this is not good, it is daylight now. Murong Shuo didn't want Qiao Zhihan to be sad when he found out, so he persuaded him.

"Do you have no confidence in me, or in yourself? The prince was more stubborn than he imagined, and insisted.

"How can you ......" Murong Shuo couldn't help but say when he heard that the prince also mentioned the little gong. But halfway through the words, he remembered that the prince didn't know that Qiao Zhihan had mentioned the small gong to him once yesterday, and it was his own overreaction that stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong with me?" the prince didn't know why, frowned and asked, but without waiting for Murong Shuo to answer, he got up and said, "Let's go, it's too late, maybe you'll miss something." ”

"Alas...... Don't you say that you are annoyed when you see them?" Murong Shuo said helplessly. Didn't he come here to play chess because he was annoyed?

"There are also those who are not annoying, let's go. Seeing that Murong Shuo still didn't move, the prince stepped forward and pulled him up to leave. Murong Shuo had no choice but to follow the prince, and the two flew out of the Qingfeng Courtyard one after the other, without even finding the royal house guarding outside.

The two soon flew silently into the apricot orchard, the sound of the piano did not stop, the two followed the sound of the piano to find it, and each found a suitable position at the corner of the eaves. As the name suggests, there are many pine and plum blossoms planted naturally. Under the plum blossom trees in the garden, there are polished and smooth stone tables and chairs, which are just right for playing the piano. Luo Zijin sat there and kept playing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

"Looks like she stole a lot yesterday. Murong Shuo listened for a while and laughed in a low voice.

"I am very happy to be able to teach a good apprentice. The prince said magnanimously. He noticed Luo Zijin watching his fingering yesterday, but he didn't expect her to start practicing early in the morning. Not only did I not feel disgusted, but I was very pleased.

Murong Shuo shook his head and did not answer. They are on a high place, so they naturally have a full view of everything around them. Even Hua Yueyao, who had been sitting on the second floor of Baiyue Building, could see it clearly. It's just that this is the prince's mansion, the place where Murong Shuo and the prince are hiding, and even Hua Yueyao can't see it.

As soon as the prince finished speaking, Murong Shuo saw Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan coming back from outside hand in hand. The two little girls are quite happy. When I entered the garden, I was still smiling on my face, but if I looked closely, the little gong was still a little more restrained.

However, Xiao Lan changed from a smile to a pout, and approached with a reluctant face: "Miss, is this song so good, you have been playing all morning, so let's rest." ”

"I'm not tired, you can go play if you want to rest, you don't have to wait here. Luo Zijin stopped what he was doing, lightly pressed the strings, frowned and shook his head dissatisfied.

"How can this be done!Miss, why are you unhappy? Why are you frowning again? Is it because His Royal Highness the Qi Prince did not reward you, but only rewarded the young lady of the Cao family who showed off her martial arts?" Xiao Lan asked unreservedly when she saw that there was no one around.

"Is your young lady such a stingy person?" Luo Zijin rubbed his temples speechlessly, if people heard this, his innocence in this life would be ruined. Why can't she teach?

"It's not...... What's the reason for that?" Xiao Lan shook her head, but she couldn't think of the reason and could only ask stupidly.

"You have been by Miss's side for so long, can't you still see that Miss is dissatisfied with her piano?" Xiao Gong saw that Xiao Lan's head couldn't turn, and Miss was speechless with anger, so she had to come forward and explain.
