"And then?" asked the storyteller.

And then ...... Then I somehow became the most favored princess. Xu Liyin laughed self-deprecatingly, with endless bitterness in her voice.

Xu Liyin held the warm teacup, wanting to warm her cold hands.

With a sigh, she began to speak again.

It was because of her brave glance at the emperor on the riverside that she inexplicably became a princess who was known to be favored by the emperor.

Even if she was a concubine, at that time, no one dared to say no.

In the face of this sudden change, Xu Liyin's only joy was to be able to openly send Bai Yaochu, who was a pianist, to play the piano for her.

Every time she faced Bai Yaochu, who was quietly playing the piano for her in the pear blossom forest, her heart sank and lost a little bit.

"You...... Can you say something to me?" Finally, after looking for him three times, Xu Liyin plucked up her courage and carefully asked what she said to him for the first time in the real sense.

But he just stopped stroking the piano in his hand and smiled at Xu Liyin.

"Don't you want to talk to me?" Xu Liyin faced his extremely gentle eyes, and her heart was indescribably lost.

Bai Yaochu finally frowned slightly, and began to gesture with his hands that Liyin couldn't understand.

Maybe Bai Yaochu saw the confusion in Xu Liyin's eyes, and the movements in his hands froze there, and after a long time, he helplessly evoked a wry smile.

Xu Liyin didn't know why, but she clearly felt that Bai Yaochu's bitter smile made her feel very distressed.

That's a thirteen-year-old girl's distress for the person she likes...... It felt like my heart aching, sour.

"Princess, the white qin master can't speak. At this time, a palace maid stepped forward and gently explained in Xu Liyin's ear.

"What? how is it possible?" When Xu Liyin heard this, she immediately stood up from the stone bench and looked at Bai Yaochu's fairy-like face, unable to believe it.

Bai Yaochu's face suddenly turned a little pale when he faced Xu Liyin's surprised expression, and a trace of injury crossed his eyes.

"I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong. No matter how confused Xu Liyin was, she could see the sadness in Bai Yaochu's eyes at a glance, and she hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of him, and explained.

And Bai Yaochu didn't react much to Xu Liyin's explanation, just shook his head, put away the paulownia wood piano behind his back, and saluted Xu Liyin, bypassing Xu Liyin and wanting to leave.

"Don't go!" Xu Liyin watched him pass by her without looking at her, her heart ached, and she finally turned around and grabbed Bai Yaochu's hand.

It's just that these two hands shook their hearts, what kind of feeling was that?

Xu Liyin, who was still young at that time, said: The moment I touched his hand, I felt as if I had grabbed something.

It was only later that I found out that it had captured his heart.

"You ...... You go down first. Xu Liyin still didn't let go of Bai Yaochu's hand, but just stammered a little and withdrew a group of slaves.

"Bai Yaochu, you ...... You believe me, I was just surprised just now, I didn't mean anything else, don't you go, okay?" Xu Liyin's small face was instantly dyed with a moving flush, but those clear eyes stared firmly at Bai Yaochu's face.

Bai Yaochu was stunned for a long time, looked at Xu Liyin's crimson face, and finally smiled again and nodded.

Bai Yaochu shook Xu Liyin's hand, suddenly let go, turned around and walked back to sit down, put down the paulownia on his back, and began to play again.

In an instant, the sound of this melodious piano spread throughout the palace.
