Xuanyue sat on the stone bench slowly, wearing a Luo skirt and swaying lightly, her green jade fingers slightly plucked the strings of the pipa in her arms, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded in the villa.

In the courtyard that was still noisy just now, all that was left was the sound of the piano that plucked people's heartstrings. Several people in the courtyard were intoxicated, especially Zhou Chengru, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, his eyes were slightly closed, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was now fascinated by it.

Jiang Ling recovered from the sound of the piano slightly, and quietly looked at Zhou Chengzhi, only to see that the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xuan Yue who was playing the piano, as if he was listening to the music carefully, and as if he was just looking at this beauty thoughtfully.

Jiang Ling pursed his lips, and said in his heart that all men in the world are the same, and no one can pass the beauty pass. She went to see Xuanyue again, this beauty was about sixteen or seventeen years old, she was really good-looking, especially the pitiful weak temperament, not to mention a man, even she, a woman, was inevitably a little distressed when she saw it.

Just looking at it, Jiang Ling suddenly had some strange feelings, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this woman called Xuanyue seemed to have seen it somewhere.

After pondering for a moment, a sudden inspiration struck. She has indeed seen her, just in the previous life, she was the singer next to Zhou Chengzhi.

It's just that in the previous life, Jiang Ling didn't know much about Zhou Chengzhi, and he didn't know much about him, let alone the people around him. Now I barely remember that in the first few years, in the few face-to-faces, Zhou Chengzhi seemed to be accompanied by a servant, and there were some rumors about this stunning singer in the palace, but she was the crown princess and was not familiar with Zhou Chengzhi at all, so naturally she didn't care about such a stunning singer beside him. Later, I didn't see it again, and of course I didn't pay attention to it.

Where a nameless singer ends up going, no one in the palace will care.

It turned out to be this Xuanyue.

After playing the song, Xuan Yue got up and saluted. Zhou Chengru sat on the ground and applauded vigorously: "It's good!" Good! ”

Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "There is Miss Lao Xuanyue." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand to the butler.

The housekeeper understood, and within a moment, he came over with a small wooden box and opened it in front of Xuanyue, revealing the silver with white flowers inside.

"Miss Xuanyue, this is a little bit of the heart of my son-in-law, please smile."

Xuan Yue didn't look at the wooden box, but just took two steps forward with the pipa, and knelt down in front of Zhou Chengzhi with an ordinary voice: "Xuan Yue knows that Gongzi is a noble man from the capital, and Xuan Yue doesn't ask for this money, only one thing to ask for." ”

Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Miss Xuanyue, please speak." ”

Xuanyue said: "Xuanyue has had no father and no mother since she was a child, and was sold into the Qinglou by her uncle's family, and has since fallen into the dust. Now that I am getting older, the bustards are no longer satisfied that I only sell my art and do not sell my body, although Xuan Yue is a dusty woman, but she also knows the truth of chastity, if you want to force me to sell my body, Xuan Yue would rather die. Xuanyue has had a thin savings over the years, and it is not a problem to redeem herself, but I am afraid that they will not let me go. Therefore, Xuanyue asked Gongzi to take me out of Yangzhou City, and I would be willing to be a slave and a maid in the future. ”

Zhou Chengzhi looked at the beauty who was about to cry, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Chengru who was looking at him curiously with wide-eyed eyes, and nodded: "Okay, this request is not a big deal." It just so happens that my eldest brother likes to listen to you play the piano and sing songs, so I will redeem myself for you and take you back to the capital. ”

Xuanyue put down the pipa, kowtowed heavily, and cried with joy: "Thank you, Childe!" Thank you, Childe! ”

Zhou Chengwen, who was standing beside Jiang Ling, chuckled, turned his head to her ear and said, "See?" My second brother still has the face to blame me for going to the flower boat, but he himself is even more excessive, so he simply took the Qinglou woman back to the palace. I really admire him, I don't have the ability to do it at his age. ”

At the same time as he said this, Zhou Chengzhi had already turned his head with a cold face and looked at Shang Jiang Ling's gaze. Jiang Ling grinned dryly.

Zhou Chengzhi raised his hand to signal Xuanyue to get up, and he bent down again to pull Zhou Chengru on the ground up, and instructed the housekeeper: "You can handle Miss Xuanyue's affairs, let her live in the villa for the next two days, firstly, to play the piano to appease my eldest brother, and secondly, to avoid harassment by her host." ”

"Yes, Childe." Butler Road.

Zhou Chengzhi waved his hand: "Miss Xuanyue must have guessed our identity, so there is no need to deliberately hide it." ”

The housekeeper said again: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

Xuan Yue lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhou Chengzhi thought for a moment, and then said: "In the past two days, you take care of my eldest brother more, and if he wants to drink, you can play the piano for him." I've been tossed for so long, and I want to take a break. ”

Xuan Yue said: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Zhou Chengzhi walked up to Zhou Chengwen and said lightly: "Second brother, don't worry, if you take your eldest brother to the flower boat, I won't confide in my father and emperor, of course it hasn't happened." ”

Zhou Chengwen sneered: "Of course you won't confide, you yourself will bring the Qinglou woman back to the capital, do you still have the face to sue me?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi didn't care about his cynicism, and only said to Jiang Ling: "I took Miss Xuanyue back, but I felt that she had a poor background, and I saw that my eldest brother likes to listen to her play the piano and sing songs, and she will help take care of her eldest brother in the future, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Jiang Ling said in her heart that she had lived a lifetime, but she had also lived a strange life, and she had seen the tyrant of the previous life and become a great benevolent person with compassion.

She smiled, and her tone was inevitably a little sour: "It's a good thing that my brother has such kindness. That's it, and said to the prince again, "Cousin, it's almost time for us to go back to Jiangfu, and if it's a little later, I'm afraid that my father will worry again." ”

Zhou Chengwen nodded: "Yes, then let's go." After speaking, he remembered something and told Zhou Chengzhi, "Third brother, you have been looking at the eldest brother for a few days, if he is really addicted to alcohol and is found by his father when he returns to the palace, we both have to take off a layer of skin." ”

Zhou Chengzhi said lightly: "You don't need to explain the matter of the eldest brother. ”

Zhou Chengwen snorted, and said in a strange manner: "Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs." Ling'er, let's go! ”

After the two left, Zhou Chengzhi walked up to Xuan Yue and said coldly: "You know very well what my identity is, I will take you into the palace, and the identity you give you is naturally the girl next to my eldest brother." Would you like to? ”

Xuanyue said: "The slave family is willing." ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "The palace is not as good as the outside, you are honest, don't think about any crooked thoughts, don't think about things that shouldn't be thought, serve my eldest brother honestly, you can naturally live without worrying about food and clothing, if you want to go out of the palace and marry in the future, I can also help arrange it." ”

Xuanyue said: "The slave family doesn't expect to marry anyone, but I hope to serve the eldest prince well, and I am very grateful to avoid the fate of being ruined." ”

Zhou Chengzhi looked at her, frowned slightly, then waved his hand, and instructed as he walked towards the house: "You take care of my eldest brother, don't let him find wine to drink." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Chengzhi, who returned to the room, rubbed his brows, and looked at the scene in the courtyard from afar from the gap in the window lattice, Xuan Yue spoke to his eldest brother gently and gently, and Zhou Chengru responded ignorantly.

He had always felt that women were a nuisance. In his last life, he met Xuanyue in the capital, and she was a gift from his subordinates who flattered him, and he only thought that she was a singer who played the piano and sang for him in his spare time, and he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, her loyal Cheng Dù was completely beyond his imagination. He was killed in the field, and she traveled thousands of miles to take care of her, and finally died for him.

He did too much evil in his last life, and he owed a lot of people, and Xuanyue was one of them.

He didn't want to have anything to do with her in this life, and if he thought about it, she wouldn't be as disgraceful as she was in her previous life. Helpless fate, seeing that she was in dire straits, as a person who wanted to be a good person, he still chose to help her, and he should repay the kindness of the previous world.
