Farewell Flower Festival

After the maid placed the zither in place, everyone seemed to hold their breath, for fear of disturbing such a fairy-like figure.

"Although the second young lady is a stunning beauty, I still prefer a beautiful girl like Xiao Lianzi." Han Lie leaned close to Chao Yan and lowered his voice. His frivolous tone was like a bewitching fragrance in the dark night. Chao Yan rolled her eyes at him. Han Lie continued, "If Xiao Lianzi follows me, I will buy you beautiful clothes and delicious food every day."

I'm just coaxing a child, Chaoyan complained in her heart.

Mu Tianling secretly clenched his palms and his attention was no longer on the people on the stage. He heard no sound behind him and didn't know what Chao Yan's reaction was. He felt a little annoyed.

He reached out for the teacup as if nothing had happened, glanced behind him, and saw Chao Yan move to the other side. His slightly cold expression eased.

The sound of the piano started to get better and better, and everyone's face showed an intoxicated look, as if they were listening to heavenly music.

Chaoyan was also intoxicated by the beautiful sound of the piano, listening to the heavenly music without distraction, but that ignorant person came to disturb her again. Han Lie patted her shoulder and winked at Wen Yunlan.

Chaoyan saw that the other party was a little distracted as he looked at the beautiful figure on the stage, and then looked at the others. Needless to say, Mu Tianyuan's eyes were shining. If the Crown Princess hadn't been opposite him, he would have jumped down from the building. Even Mu Tianqi was a little distracted. It was true that a hero could not resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

She glanced at Mu Tianling again, and his eyes were indeed fixed on the stage. She glanced at Furong again, and felt that the other person's unwillingness and resentment were about to come out.

When the song ended, everyone upstairs and downstairs fell silent, and the lingering sound lingered in the air for three days. After a while, everyone gradually came to their senses and praised the second young lady's piano skills, saying that she was indeed the best in the capital and no one could match her.

"This second young lady plays the piano really well," Mu Tianyuan glanced at Mu Tianling and deliberately raised his voice, "Much better than your maid. Don't bring her out to embarrass yourself in the future."

Furong was extremely embarrassed and lowered her head, not daring to argue.

"I think Miss Furong's playing has a unique flavor, but it's a pity that I didn't get to experience it properly." Han Lie winked at Furong, who blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.

Chaoyan complained in his heart that he was indeed a peacock, spreading his feathers when he saw a beautiful girl.

As if he had sensed what she was thinking, Han Lie blinked at her again, turned his head towards Yan and pretended not to see anything, then saw someone else coming in through the door.

The man was tall, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and holding a folding fan in his hand. He was a very elegant and noble young man.

"This is the eldest master. Be careful. Brother Shang likes to find a pretty little maid like you as his concubine." Han Lie came close to Chao Yan and reminded her in a low voice. She lowered her head a little. Although the other party was most likely not telling the truth, it was better not to let herself be targeted just in case. Who knows what kind of person this eldest master Shang is. It would be troublesome if he was more difficult to deal with than Peacock.

On the other side, Furong deliberately adjusted her hair, as if she wanted to provoke the young master Shang.

However, the other party did not look at her and Chaoyan after he came in. After greeting Mu Tianyuan and Mu Tianqi in turn, his eyes fell on Mu Tianling and asked, "This young man looks unfamiliar. What's your name?"

Mu Tianyuan said: "Don't worry about him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chao Yan introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Prince Ling."

"So it's the Fourth Prince. I'm so sorry." Shang Ye bowed his hands to apologize, and then said, "I heard that the Nine Criminal Department is busy with official business. I didn't want to bother Your Highness. Your Highness, coming here to celebrate my father's birthday today won't interfere with official business, right?"

Mu Tianyuan sneered, "He is a lazy guy, how can he have any official business? He has nothing to do every day after eating. How can he stay idle if he doesn't come to join in the fun?"

Mu Tianling picked up the teacup and scraped it twice, saying, "Luckily I'm here to join in the fun today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hear such beautiful piano music." He then praised, "The Second Miss's piano skills are indeed well-deserved. I think no one in the capital can match her."

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise." Shang Ye responded and then said goodbye to everyone. After a while, a servant came over and told Wen Yunlan a message, and then Wen Yunlan left with the servant.

"Xiao Lianzi, I'll be back soon." Han Lie explained to Chao Yan, then followed the two of them and left quietly.

Here, the servant brought Wen Yunlan to a pavilion, but Shang Ye was not there. The other party had asked the servant to tell him that he had something to discuss with him, but it seemed to be an excuse.

The servant pointed in a direction for Wen Yunlan and asked him to go to the pavilion.

When Wen Yunlan walked over and saw the people in the pavilion, he paused and his face flushed slightly. A maid came over and asked him to come over, and then she and another maid stepped out and stood guard nearby.

When there were only two people left in the pavilion, they didn't know what to say to each other for a moment.

After the quiet atmosphere lasted for a while, Shang Qingrong asked first, "Brother Yun, what did you think of the song just now?" Wen Yunlan replied, "Very good," and added after a pause, "Very nice." She hid her sleeves and smiled, "Brother Yun is still the same." A slightly shy smile also appeared on that warm and handsome face.

The whole scene was seen by a pair of fox eyes hidden behind the flowers.

"How come this kid is still as stupid as a piece of wood? If he doesn't take the initiative, he'll be alone." Han Lie smiled gloatingly, and seeing that the atmosphere between the two was good, he quietly left.

……

After the meal started, a servant came over and said a few words to Mu Tianling, and then Mu Tianling left with him. Then Furong told Chaoyan that she had a headache and wanted to rest for a while. Chaoyan said that if she felt unwell, she should go back first. Furong said it was okay and she would be fine after resting for a while, and left without waiting for Chaoyan to say anything else.

After leaving, Furong quietly followed Mu Tianling and saw him follow the servant into a tea room. After a while, she saw the servant come out and close the door.

She observed the situation around her for a while and saw no one was moving around. She waited patiently for a while and then tiptoed over. Just as she got to the window and was about to poke a small hole to look inside, the door was opened. She trembled with fear and heard someone behind her calling her over. She turned around and walked over with her head down.

"It was Sister Xiao Lian who asked me to come and find Your Highness." Furong explained.

Mu Tianling ignored her and took her into the house before ordering her, "Close the door."

After Furong did as she was told, a blush spread across her face. She lowered her head and followed Mu Tianling into the house. Her heart was pounding, thinking that she was going to be favored.

When she saw there was a person lying on the bed, she was shocked. Then she caught a glimpse of the cold look on Mu Tianling's face and his eyes were so cold that they were a little scary. She was so scared that she took a few steps back.

"Don't you want to become a phoenix? Do as I say, and the position of the Crown Prince's Consort will be yours in the future."
