The next afternoon, Xiao Qin came back from the capital and called Ye Qingchen into the room.

"The Queen Mother has agreed. However, I must warn you that the matter is very important and must not be careless. You must keep a low profile and be careful at all times. If the matter is exposed, not only will you be in danger, but the Queen Mother and I will also be in danger. It’s your fault!”

Ye Qingchen said: "Princess, don't worry, although my words may sometimes be unreliable, my actions will never be ambiguous."

Xiao Qin nodded, pointed to the bundle on the bed and said, "Put on these clothes and you will be the eunuch Xiao Zizi. You will follow me into the palace later."

After that, she walked out of the room.

Ye Qingchen put on clothes and walked out. Xiao Qin took one look and frowned.

"Your appearance was exposed as soon as you entered the palace! Eunuchs are supposed to be humble, nodding and bowing like slaves. How can I find someone like you with your head held high?"

Ye Qingchen hunched over and said with a flattering smile, "I will obey the princess's teachings!"

Xiao Qin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You dog slave, you have to be good when you enter the palace and curb your sharp edges."

Ye Qingchen lowered his head and glanced at his crotch, and said with a wicked smile: "My sharp edge can be retracted and released freely, how can it be exposed at will?"

"Shameless, gangster!" Xiao Qin rolled her eyes at him and shook her head helplessly.

……

In the Cining Palace, the music of the piano lingers.

Empress Dowager Dugu was dressed in a phoenix crown and was sitting on a soft chair with her eyes slightly closed and her face intoxicated.

After the song was over, Shi Yingchun stood up, handed the pipa to the maid, and said a blessing to the Queen Mother.

"Okay, okay!"

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and was full of praise. The maids standing on the left and right also applauded and praised.

The maid in pink skirt who was closest to the Queen Mother picked up the tea cup and handed it to the Queen Mother. She said happily: "Since Miss Shi came here yesterday, the Queen Mother's mood has obviously improved a lot."

This girl is well-behaved, very good at talking, and has a pleasant voice. She is the Queen Mother's favorite personal maid, and is called Bai Ling.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "If we can be accompanied by such wonderful music every day, the Ai family will definitely live a few more years!"

Bai Ling said: "The Queen Mother has the same lifespan as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon have the same age. How many years can she live?"

The Queen Mother said: "Only you can say it!"

At this time, a middle-aged eunuch came in from outside and reported: "To the Queen Mother, Miss Li Qingwan of the Prime Minister's Mansion has come to pay her respects!"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Let her come in."

"Yes!"

After the eunuch went out, the Queen Mother looked at Shi Yingchun and said: "This Li Qingwan is the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Li Linpu. She has been popular with the Ai family since she was a child. Now she is only 17 years old, and she is already well-known for her talent. She is proficient in all poems, lyrics and songs, and is recognized by the capital. The most talented woman!"

"She is so amazing!" Shi Yingchun praised.

"Haha..." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, "Don't belittle yourself, your attainments in music are also quite profound!"

Bai Ling suddenly opened his eyes wide and said happily: "Hey, Miss Li is good at poetry, and Miss Shi is good at music. If they cooperate, one writes lyrics and the other composes music, they will definitely be able to create a nice song!"

"Yeah!" The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, "What a good idea!"

While he was talking, he saw a woman coming under the guidance of the eunuch.

Shi Yingchun looked at Li Qingwan and saw that she had a delicate face, a slender figure, and a lovely melancholy temperament hidden between her eyebrows.

She is so beautiful and talented, and she was born into a prime minister’s family! She really took advantage of all the good things. Shi Yingchun felt envious in her heart.

On second thought, there is nothing to envy. This girl has Mr. Ye, and has also entered the immortal sect. How can an ordinary person like you compare?

After Li Qingwan entered the house, she knelt down and paid her respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother lifted her up, looked at her face and said, "Why did Wan'er think of coming over to see the Ai family today?"

Li Qingwan smiled slightly and said: "Wan'er has been loved by the Queen Mother since she was a child. She misses her all the time and wishes she could visit every day."

She glanced at Shi Yingchun and saw that she was not dressed as a maid, and then said, "The Queen Mother has guests today. Did Wan'er come at the wrong time?"

"You came at the right time." The Queen Mother smiled, "Miss Shi is proficient in music, and you are good at poetry. The Ai family is just hoping that you two will collaborate."

"Okay, okay!" Li Qingwan said happily.

The Queen Mother said: "It takes time to compose music and lyrics. Seeing that it's noon, let's have lunch. After that, you can go to Miss Shi's room and slowly prepare and communicate."

……

After lunch, the Queen Mother returned to the palace to take a lunch break.

Shi Yingchun took Li Qingwan to her residence in Cining Palace.

Li Qingwan was born in a prime minister's family. She has been superior to others since she was a child. She is naturally more confident and has a lively and cheerful personality. It was Shi Yingchun's first time entering the palace. Although she had already stayed for one night, she was still a little nervous.

Since they first met, Li Qingwan has always taken the initiative to talk to Shi Yingchun.

After sitting down, Li Qingwan asked: "Miss Shi, can you sing a song from your previous works for me to listen to? This way I can have a creative direction."

Shi Yingchun said modestly: "Yes, yes, I do it for my own entertainment in my spare time. I'm afraid that Miss Li will laugh if I sing it."

"Where are you talking?" Li Qingwan said with a smile, "Even the Queen Mother is full of praise for you, why do you have to be too modest? Come on, sing a song and let me know."

Shi Yingchun thought for a while, pursed her lips and said, "Then let's sing a song called "Shui Tiao Ge Tou, When Will the Bright Moon Come?"

Li Qingwan sat up straight, as if she was ready to listen.

"When will the bright moon be there, ask Qingtian about the wine, I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it today..."

The voice is clear and the melody is beautiful.

Li Qingwan's expression gradually became stunned.

She is recognized as a literary genius in Beijing. She wrote a song called "Dream Order" when she was five years old, which is still widely sung today.

Mr. Mo Zaiyu, a leading literary figure and world-famous poet, visited her personally and accepted her as his apprentice.

From then on, she had the title of the most talented woman in the capital. In ancient times, there were very few talented women. Most of the women among the common people were illiterate. If they could be ranked first in the capital, naturally no one in the entire Qian Kingdom would dare to be ranked above them.

She was proficient in poetry and poetry, but she only had a partial understanding of music, so she couldn't comment on how well Shi Yingchun sang.

But she really heard the words in the song.

She kept asking in her mind: Oh my God, who wrote these words?

She has a photographic memory of reading, and after listening to Shi Yingchun sing, she can already recite the entire poem.

Shi Yingchun looked at her sheepishly and said, "You didn't sing well and made Miss Li laugh!"

Li Qingwan stood up and grabbed Shi Yingchun's wrist, her eyes shining with thirst for knowledge.

"Miss Shi, tell me quickly, who wrote this poem?"

Shi Yingchun was startled and slightly stunned. Then he realized that it was not a hymn but a hymn, so he replied: "It was composed by Mr. Ye!"

"Mr. Ye, which Mr. Ye?" Li Qingwan asked anxiously.

"Ye..." Ye Qingchen almost blurted out the words, but Shi Yingchun suddenly stopped and broke into a cold sweat.

She thought to herself: Something almost went wrong just now. Li Qingwan is the daughter of the prime minister. Although she seems to be close to the Queen Mother, I don't know what her position is in her heart.

"Tell me quickly!" Seeing her hesitation, Li Qingwan urged even more anxiously.
