"Liu Zhu, this is Prince Guo." When Zhen Huan saw Liu Zhu, she called her over.

"Greetings, Prince Guo." Liu Zhu saluted. Liu Zhu really didn't understand what was going on.

"The piece 'Apricot Blossoms in the Sky' that you just played was very appropriate to the scene." The emperor ignored Liu Zhu.

"Your Majesty, are you familiar with this piece of music?" Zhen Huan asked

"If played with the xun on a spring night, it would sound more elegant and graceful. But playing with the flute now alleviates the melancholy in the song, and adds a bit of the cheerfulness of snow and wind." The emperor used his talent to explain his familiarity with the music score.

"I am a humble concubine, please do not blame me, Your Majesty."

"You played very well. But just now when you played the line 'The grass is all over the place, but I can't get home', the sound of the flute was a little stagnant and whimpering. Are you missing home?" the emperor asked. At this time, he was a little tender, after all, the person in front of him looked very much like his Chun Yuan.

"If there is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang will look back. Your Majesty's hearing is comparable to that of Zhou Gongjin." Zhen Huan is indeed a talented woman. She not only answered the emperor's question tactfully but also praised his talent.

"It has been a long time since I last heard such beautiful flute music. Since the death of Queen Chunyuan, there has been no such beautiful flute music," the emperor said nostalgically.

"Your Highness's praise, I dare not accept it, I dare not compare myself with Queen Chunyuan." Zhen Huan paused and said, "I will return to the palace first. Your Highness, please do as you please."

"go"

The emperor didn't look up. When Zhen Huan passed him, she looked back and left with Liu Zhu.

"The young lady is back." Pei'er was cleaning the dust and when she turned around she saw Zhen Huan coming back and asked.

"Pei'er, go to the palace and ask if Prince Guo has entered the palace today." Pei'er went out after hearing the order.

"My lady, you thought it wasn't Prince Guo who was tasting the flute with you just now." Liu Zhu asked in confusion.

"What do you think?" Zhen Huan looked at her and saw that she obviously didn't understand, so she explained, "It's always better to be more careful."

After a long time, Pei'er came back and said, "My lady, Prince Guo entered the palace today and is now appreciating paintings with the emperor in the Yangxin Palace."

"Hey, I heard that Prince Guo is very steady and looks to be in his forties." Zhen Huan asked Pei'er. She didn't know Liu Zhu, but Pei'er was a maid in the Imperial Household Department and should know Prince Guo.

"No way. Prince Guo was born in the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. He is no more than 25 or 26 years old this year. If we talk about a prince who is in his 40s, it must be Prince Heng. He is easy-going and likes to chat and laugh with us palace maids." Zhen Huan didn't believe that it was Prince Guo in the first place. After hearing what Pei'er said, she was even less convinced that it was Prince Guo.

"What about the emperor?" The person who could walk around the palace freely was most likely the emperor. But she was not sure.

"I don't know about that. The emperor doesn't come to the harem often, and when he does, he is surrounded by a crowd of people. I am of low status and cannot see the emperor," Pei'er shook her head. Pei'er had been in the palace for a short time and had never seen the emperor.

"That's right. Wherever the emperor goes, there is a group of people following him. You go, I'm tired too." Zhen Huan sent Pei'er away, and was wondering whether the person she met today was more likely to be the emperor or Prince Guo.

Zhen Huan really couldn't figure it out. She was told by someone to meet the emperor in the imperial garden, but she didn't know whether the person she met was the emperor or Prince Guo, and it just so happened that no one around her had ever seen the emperor. If it was the emperor, it would be fine, but if it was Prince Guo, it would break the rules. But if it was the emperor, why would he pretend to be Prince Guo?
