Just when Qingyan was about to implement the next plan, she heard a majestic voice.
"What's the fuss about here?"
But before Qingyan could answer, Su Qingyuan was thrown to the shore all wet and sat there. Su Ming looked at his daughter who was rescued on the shore and smiled and said respectfully to the young man next to him, "Your Majesty, I'm grateful."
Su Qingyuan glared at Xia He next to her and said dissatisfiedly, then slapped him on the face, "You bitch, didn't you see me fall into the water?"
Xia He knew that he was in the wrong, so he just covered his red cheeks and stood aside.
"How could I not save such a beautiful woman?" The young man did not put his eyes on Su Qingyuan. He turned to look at Su Ming and said, "This must be your daughter. She is so graceful and graceful."
Only then did Su Ming realize how rude Su Qingyuan's actions just now were. He looked at the young man and said apologetically, "I made the prince laugh. This is the official's daughter, Su Qingyuan." He pointed at Su Qingyuan with a flattering smile on his face. , then when he looked at Qingyan, his eyes were obviously more disdainful, "This is the daughter of General Dingguo, the eldest brother of the lower official."
Qingyan didn't care about the disdain in Su Ming's eyes. She looked at the young man in front of her and bowed, "I have met the Crown Prince."
"What happened just now? Yuanyuan, why did you fall into the water?" Su Ming said and looked at Su Qingyan aside, as if he wanted to eat Su Qingyan alive.
"Second uncle, I just took two maids for a walk in the garden after dinner. Who knows, I happened to see my eldest sister accidentally falling into the water." Qingyan looked at Su Ming and said with a smile, "However, the girls around me are all I don’t know how to swim.” In just a few words, everything was cleared up.
After hearing Qingyan's words, Su Ming glared at her. He glanced at Xia He and said impatiently, "Hurry up and help the young lady to change clothes."
"My slave... I obey your orders." She said and helped Su Qingyuan, who looked unhappy, to leave.
Looking at Su Qingyuan's back, the young man walked to Su Qingyan's side and whispered in her ear, "It's really a good show."
The boy's unique masculine breath hit her ears. Qingyan subconsciously took a step back. She said with a smile, "Qingyan doesn't know what the prince means. If nothing is wrong, second uncle, please forgive Qingyan for taking the first step." Then she turned around and left first, followed by Zizhu and Bai Zhi following her footsteps.
Looking at Su Qingyan's retreating back, Su Ming frowned. He looked at the young man with a respectful look on his face, "Although this girl is raised by my wife, she is an uneducated family member. I hope the prince doesn't mind." .”
"Oh." The young man's voice rose, and when he looked at Su Ming, his tone suddenly became cold, "Your Majesty, do you mean to look down on military generals?"
"I don't dare." Su Ming obviously didn't expect the young man to say such a thing.
"Humph." The young man shook his sleeves and turned to leave.
But thinking of the scene he just saw, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he thought to himself; that little girl is quite interesting.

After returning to the room, Bai Zhi told Huang Cen and Lu'e the scene in a lively and vivid manner, which made them hold their stomachs and laugh.
"Baizhi, if I live on the street in the future, your storyteller skills may still come in handy." Qingyan said with a soft smile while drinking tea.
Bai Zhi couldn't tell that Qingyan was teasing her. She blushed and said dissatisfiedly, "How can a young lady tease someone like this?"
"Miss, I'm just teasing you. Isn't this just a compliment?" Zi Zhu looked at Bai Zhi with a smile on her face and said, "If it is really what the miss said, then Bai Zhi will be our savior."
"Sister Zi Zhu!" Bai Zhi stamped her foot and said dissatisfiedly, "I will never pay attention to you again."
Looking at the people playing and laughing, Qingyan thought about the person she met before.
When she was Qilian Qingyan, she had a close friend named Zhongli Jingshu when she was young. Jingshu was once considered one of the most beautiful women in Nanchen Kingdom. Although she was a few years older than her, the two of them were very different. They became close friends because of the same hobbies.
And this young man is the eldest son of her close friend - Murong Jingxuan.
Jing Shu once said in her letter that in order to stabilize the throne, the King of Toga kept the newborn Murong Jingxuan as a hostage in the capital and raised him under his knees personally.
But she never thought that Murong Jingxuan would become such a libertine. If Jing Shu found out, she didn't know how sad she would be.
"Zizhu, bring my piano." Qingyan looked at Zizhu and said calmly.
After listening to Qingyan's words, Zi Zhu looked at her in surprise.
Although Qingyan was born into a well-known family, she was not good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How could she think of playing the piano today
Looking at Zi Zhu who had not moved for a long time, she seemed to have thought of something and then said with a smile, "I learned a piece of music under the guidance of an expert while sleeping a few nights ago. Now I will play it for you to listen to. If you don't play it well, But please don’t laugh at me.”
After Bai Zhi heard this, she and Lv E took out the qin from the bottom of the cabinet and wiped it carefully. Finally, they lit incense next to the qin.
Looking at their appearance, Qingyan walked to the piano and sat down. She plucked the strings to test the sound, and murmured in a low voice, "What a Wutong Guqin."
Qingyan seemed to have thought of something and began to play seriously. The first half of the song was so ethereal that it made people feel as if they were in nature, with birds and animals all around them. The melody in the second half gradually changed. Low, the last low moan seems to express all the joys and sorrows in the world.
At the end of the song, a familiar voice was heard saying, "How do you know how to play this song "Ten Thousand Beasts Facing the Phoenix" that has been famous for more than five years?"
Qingyan followed the voice and saw Murong Jingxuan sitting on the windowsill with a piece of grass in his mouth. The man in front of her had distinct features and his angular face looked extremely handsome under the candlelight. He seems to be bohemian, but the look in his eyes occasionally makes people not to underestimate him. He is wearing a straight purple robe with golden silk thread embroidered with auspicious cloud pattern on the hem, and a wide belt with moon white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist. A jade pendant of excellent quality was hung.
"I didn't know that when the crown prince arrives, I won't be able to welcome you from afar." Qingyan pressed the strings of the piano and looked into Murong Jingxuan's eyes and said calmly.
"Little beauty, you haven't answered my question yet?" Murong Jingxuan looked at her and said with a teasing smile, "Is it possible that this prince is so handsome and handsome that you have taken a fancy to him?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say such disrespectful words. Qingyan has not yet reached the age of hair. If someone with a heart listens to it, it will embarrass Qingyan." Qingyan said with a serious face while looking at Murong Jingxuan.
Looking at Qingyan's appearance, he appeared in front of her the next second and raised her chin, "My dear lady, could it be that you really like this prince?"
Murong Jingxuan's frivolous words made Qingyan slap his hand away. She stepped back a few steps and scolded coldly, "You are so impudent!"
Murong Jingxuan listened to Qingyan's words and raised a smile on his lips, "Little lady, don't you want to tell me why you can play "Ten Thousand Beasts Facing the Phoenix" which has been famous for five years?"
