Chapter 58: Not surprising
The room is still the secret private room from last time, and the interior layout is the same as last time, exactly the same.
"Your Highness, Miss Zhongqing is back today, do you need her to sing a song for you?"
When the manager asked Xiao Wu for instructions, he deliberately glanced at Chu Wanxiang to see if she would be unhappy.
I saw Chu Wanxiang take a sip of warm sake, picked up a few dishes and tasted them, she was very satisfied, she didn't care what the housekeeper said.
Chu Mohan saw that she was only focused on filling her stomach, smiled helplessly, and nodded to the manager.
It's been so long, and it's time for me to come back with some useful news.
The butler took the order to step down, and after a while, a richly dressed woman came.
The woman is holding a guqin in her hand, and her fingers are slender and shiny, which looks pleasing to the eye.
Melon seed face, phoenix eyes, slender willow waist, various styles.
Such a woman should be the type that many men like.
Chu Wanxiang glanced at Chu Mohan unconsciously, only to see him smiling at the woman, and that smile seemed to be different from usual.
It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Gong is also interested in this woman, right?
This made Chu Wanxiang feel a little curious, what is the charm of this woman?
Put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Zhou Qin seriously.
"Your Highness the Princess."
On the way here, Zhou Qin had already learned about the situation from the housekeeper.
So it is not surprising that Chu Wanxiang exists.
"This is Tingfenglou's flower face, the girl who loves you."
Chu Mohan pointed at Zhou Qin and said to Chu Wanxiang.
"Girl with love." Chu Wanxiang politely replied.
This made Zhong Qing a little surprised. Ordinary women of high status will more or less look down on brothel women like them. Even if they don't say it, they will show contempt and disdain in their behavior.
But the princess of the Ming Emperor in front of her is different. From her, she didn't feel any contempt for her. Not only that, but she also solemnly returned the gift to herself.
This made Zhong Qing feel both surprised and moved.
"This woman that Your Highness has taken a fancy to is really extraordinary."
Zhou Qin said to Chu Mohan with a smile.
Chu Mohan smiled and said nothing, Zhong Qing's evaluation of Chu Wanxiang made him feel inexplicably proud.
"It's been a long time since I've listened to your music, and it just so happens that today the Queen Mother married this king and the Ming Emperor, so you can put on a song, this is a congratulatory gift from this king, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Qin frowned and smiled, gently playing with the guqin in front of him with ten fingers, and the sound of Zheng Zheng came out from between his fingers.
Pluck the strings and chant softly, like gurgling water, refreshing people's hearts.
"Play the guqin, listen to the wind and light strings, and chant softly. Into the rhyme into the heart, condensed in the cup of the pavilion, when you wake up from a dream, prosperous like a dream like duckweed. ”
Chu Wanxiang listened to the sound of the piano, her heart felt surging, and on a whim, she began to chant.
Her poems fit the mood of loving to play the piano, and the melody becomes a poem that resonates with people's hearts.
The fingers that love to pluck the strings tremble slightly, and after so many years, they finally found their soulmate.
Xiao Wu listened carefully to the music and savored the poetry. He was very impressed by Chu Wanxiang's talent.
I really found a treasure, and I was secretly happy in my heart.
In an instant, the song ended, and the aftermath faded away.
Chu Wanxiang and Zhou Qin glanced at each other, and both of them showed the most beautiful smiles.
"Congratulations to Your Highness for finding such a good person." Xiao Wu was very pleased with Zhou Qin's heartfelt wishes.
Yes, his princess really is the most wonderful person in the world.
"Love, your piano art has reached a new level." Chu Mohan put down the wine glass in his hand and praised it without hesitation.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment. Today, the reason why I can have such an artistic conception is thanks to the princess. Zhou Qin is very talented and rarely admires strangers, but this time, his admiration for Chu Wanxiang was unexpected.
There are not many people who are proficient in temperament, and there are very few bosom friends. I am fortunate to meet Chu Wanxiang today, which is my lifelong wish.
She has been lonely all her life, and although she lives in a brothel, she has a noble sentiment, like plum blossoms. Ordinary people only think that she is arrogant and artificial, and that she is not easy to approach. For so many years, only Xiao Wu could understand his temperament.
Today, it is difficult to meet a transparent person like Chu Wanxiang, which makes Zhou Qin feel like an old friend at first sight.
"Emperor Ming has exposed her ugliness, I hope Miss Zhongqing will not be surprised." Chu Wanxiang glanced at Zhou Qin with a smile.
There is not the slightest cheesiness about the Oiran in front of her, and her beautiful appearance reveals a cold temperament, as well as her unique style.
This kind of temperament is not something that ordinary people in the market can have. It seems that a girl in love must have an untold story.
"Love, what have you discovered these days."
After listening to the music and filling your stomach, it's time to talk about business.
Chu Mohan held back the smile in his eyes and asked Zhou Qin seriously.
Chu Wanxiang saw that he didn't seem to want to avoid him, so he sat there generously, waiting for Zhongqing to answer.
Bingyi: "To get back to the point, my subordinates have been sending people to follow the prince of the abolished Yunguo Kingdom in the past few days, and found that he has a close relationship with Zhao Lianting and Hong Luqing. ”
Chu Wanxiang: "As Hong Luqing, Leng Yuanxun is already responsible for receiving guests from other countries, so it is not surprising that Leng Yuanxun is close. ”
Chu Mohan nodded: "Emperor Ming is right. ”
Bingyi: "But after further investigation, I found that Duan Wuluo, who had written a book to slander the Marquis of Zhenbei, was also in the mansion. ”
This news caused Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang's expressions to change slightly.
Isn't Duan Wuluo the poetry club after he was imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison? How could it appear in the Zhao family?
"If Duan Wuluo is really in the Zhao family, Dali Temple will not be able to manage it, and if the prisoner's escape is reported, Dali Temple will be held accountable in accordance with the law." Chu Wanxiang looked at Chu Mohan.
"There is another thing, Zhao Lianting once asked Master Zhong for a Xiucai named Mo Qingchen, saying that as long as Xiucai was handed over to him, Duan Wuluo would be informed of his whereabouts." Zhou Qin continued.
Judging from this person's actions, his purpose in leaving the suspicious person in the mansion was to exchange Mo Qingchen with Master Zhong. There must be some unknown connection between Mo Qingchen and him. If Master Zhong was willing to send Mo Qingchen to exchange, the crisis in Dali Temple would be solved. Chu Wanxiang said.
"If it's really that simple, then." Zhou Qin smiled bitterly: "The difficulty is that Mr. Zhong refuses to hand over Mo Qingchen. ”
"Zhong Lao is a person who loves talents, Mo Qingchen's talent is so outstanding, he must be deeply liked by Zhong Lao, thinking that Zhao Lianting is cunning and scheming, Mr. Zhong is afraid that Zhao Lianting will be unfavorable to Mo Qingchen, so he refuses to agree."
Xiao Wu and Ye Xiuyuan can be regarded as friends for a long time. When they were young, they learned a lot from Zhong Yeyuan. Strictly speaking, Zhong Yeyuan is half his teacher, so he knows Zhong Yeyuan's habits very well.
