On the shore, a simple pier appeared that seemed to be integrated with the surrounding scenery. Huafang gradually moved closer.
When the boat stopped, Fatty Shao got off the boat first.
Then, Mu Qingge also stepped onto the mud covered with pink fallen flowers.
A group of warblers and swallows came ashore one after another, carrying food boxes and wine utensils. Following the two handsome men from Luodu, they headed towards the depths of the peach blossom forest.
After walking along the winding path for a while, suddenly, a misty piano sound came.
The sound of the piano is like the clouds in the sky or the mist in the mountains, so erratic and elusive.
Involuntarily, Mu Qingge headed towards the place where the sound of the piano came from because of the faint familiarity in her heart.
Fatty Shao and others naturally had no choice but to follow.
Peach blossoms are charming everywhere, and I just want to be in this forest.
After walking around in the dense peach blossom forest for a while, Mu Qingge walked out of the dense forest and came to an open place. The sound of the piano seemed to be in her ears, but the scene that caught her eyes made her eyes shrink.
'It's him! '
…
Pink and white peach blossoms are falling in the forest, dancing with the wind.
A rare open space turned out to be an octagonal pavilion for viewing.
In the pavilion, the incense burner curls up, and the green smoke is like silk. A tall, goose-yellow figure sat cross-legged and lowered his hands to play the piano. His dark hair was untied and moved in the wind.
The scattered petals sometimes kissed his hair, sometimes falling between the strings.
The broad sleeves of the robe brushed against the surface of the piano from time to time due to the movements of the fingertips, as gently as if they were caressing the lover's face.
With bloodless white skin and handsome and picturesque facial features, he looks like an immortal in the peach blossom forest, making it difficult to look away.
But he seemed extremely fragile, fearing that if the wild wind in the forest blew any harder, it would blow him to pieces.
'Wise King! '
Mu Qingge was slightly surprised.
She didn't expect to meet him again here.
The three times they met, this man who was as quiet as dead water gave her an unspeakable feeling. He seemed so fragile that he needed everyone's protection, yet he seemed to be so far away from everyone.
He is still alive in this world, but it seems that he has already gone by the wind.
In him, Mu Qingge couldn't find a trace of the aura that a living person should have. He is said to be a puppet, but people feel pity for him and don't want to hurt him.
Just... his identity.
Mu Qingge's eyes darkened. She did not forget that the man in front of her was the son of the Emperor of Qin. Qin Jinchen, who was named the Wise King, was not favored.
The wise king, the idle king.
I'm afraid, this title shows the emperor's thoughts.
It was best for this son who didn't like him to just be an idler, ignore everything and fend for himself.
For no reason, that fragile beauty caused Mu Qingge to feel a little distressed. She is a waste, but she gets all the love from her grandfather and aunt.
He is a prince, but he is disliked by his own father because of his frail body and unlucky birth.
This special life experience and experience may be the origin of his temperament. Mu Qingge clearly saw the clean and fragile beauty, but what he felt was the endless blackness.
The sound of the piano breaks suddenly.
It seemed that the man playing the piano finally noticed someone breaking in.
Mu Qingge's eyes moved slightly and naturally met those calm and unruffled eyes.
It's still as clear-cut as black and white, but without any emotion. Or... hiding it too deeply
Mu Qingge didn't know.
But since someone had discovered his uninvited appearance, he naturally wanted to go up and say hello.
After thinking about it in her mind, she walked calmly out of the cover of branches and leaves and came to the open space.
Fatty Shao and the other women naturally went with her. A group of people appeared outside the Octagonal Pavilion in front of Qin Jinchen, but they still did not cause any waves in his eyes.
Mu Qingge approached, but did not enter the Octagonal Pavilion.
He just stood outside the pavilion, cupped his fists at the people in the pavilion and said, "Today I was outing with my friends and overheard the sound of the piano in the pavilion. Mu Qingge came after hearing the sound, but it disturbed the Xian Wang's Yaxing. I hope the Xian Wang will not be surprised."
"What! Is he the mysterious wise king?" Fatty Shao was surprised and sighed behind Mu Qingge.
The mysterious wise king
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the Mu family's information is indeed correct. This wise king is really reclusive and rarely appears in people's sight. Even Fatty Shao, a dandy, didn’t recognize him.
"Fat man, I haven't seen His Highness the Xian King yet." Mu Qingge reminded him.
"Ah! Oh. Shao Yueze of the Shao family has met His Highness the Wise King. His Highness is a thousand years old." Fatty Shao, who was reminded, immediately saluted. At the same time, a group of warblers behind him also knelt down and saluted in fear.
In an instant, Mu Qingge was the only person standing.
Qin Jinchen's calm eyes slowly moved away from Mu Qingge, skipped Fatty Shao's fat body, and landed directly on the beauties.
After a few moments, he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes blocking his black and white eyes.
"It's just for fun, so there's no need to stick to etiquette."
This was the first time Mu Qingge heard him speak. There was a sense of detachment in his voice. Very slow and flat. There is a hint of clarity in the paleness, and there is a natural nobility.
It is different from Qin Jinhao's cold and arrogant aura, and it is also different from Mr. Monster's mysterious and mellow fragrance.
However, she felt that this voice could reach people's hearts. Like jade beads falling onto a plate.
