After the song ended, Yu Jinzhi was unable to come back to her senses for a long time. Qingyu did not dare to disturb her. After a long while, she tentatively called out, "Princess?"

Yu Jinzhi came to her senses.

"what happened?"

"I don't think I've ever heard the princess play this piece of music before." Qingyu said.

"I just made it when I was bored." Yu Jinzhi gently plucked the strings of the zither.

"The princess can compose her own music? As expected, there is no one in the entire capital who can compare to the princess." Qingyu focused on praising, and no matter what Yu Jinzhi said, she would just praise her.

Yu Jinzhi naturally wouldn't take these words seriously, she didn't have the nerve to do that. Besides... being the best at everything wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"The princess has been playing for a while. Can I take a break? I'll go get some cakes. Today the kitchen has made the princess' favorite water chestnut cake." Qingyu looked expectant.

Water chestnut cake... Yu Jinzhi didn't feel hungry before, but now after hearing this, she began to miss the time when she secretly ate water chestnut cake in the general's mansion.

What she remembered most clearly was that she ate too much once, so she had indigestion. It was because she was craving for the water chestnut cake that she secretly hid a few pieces and ate them secretly on the bed in the middle of the night, and ended up making the bed full of them.

As expected, she had a stomachache the next day. Yu Sheng was angry with her and felt distressed. He hugged her and rubbed her stomach for a long time.

Another time, she got angry because of learning the rules and was scolded by the Queen. She ran back to the palace secretly, feeling very wronged, and then Yu Sheng used water chestnut cake to cheer her up.

"Hearing you talk about it, I'm actually a little greedy." Yu Jinzhi's expression softened a little.

When Qingyu heard this, she suddenly became happy: "Then I'll get it right away!" Qingyu said and ran out quickly. Anyway, when there was no one around, she would be very lively.

Yu Jinzhi was also helpless, but it was good like this. She looked out the window, and saw "Shadow Three" waiting outside.

"When did you start standing here?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"When the princess was playing the piano." Xie Yuxiu, pretending to be Ying San, spoke, but his voice was so hoarse that it was impossible to tell the original tone at all.

Yu Jinzhi was stunned when she heard these words and was unable to react for a moment.

"You actually spoke?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"The princess said yesterday that she wanted to listen, but I'm afraid my voice is not nice." Xie Yuxiu said again.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "It's just a voice, how can it be divided into nice or bad?" She also remembered that Ying San said last night that his voice was damaged due to being smoked by a fire.

"The princess plays the piano very nicely." Xie Yuxiu changed the subject.

"I haven't played it for a long time. Do you want to listen? I'll play it for you." Yu Jinzhi has never been arrogant towards the people below her.

Xie Yuxiu was a little surprised. She was actually willing to play the piano for a shadow guard? But... he seemed a little jealous.

"It is my honor that the princess is willing to play the piano for me." Xie Yuxiu continued.

Yu Jinzhi was not shy, and after hearing this, her movements became brisk again. Xie Yuxiu didn't even listen to the music, but he kept looking at Yu Jinzhi. The way she played the piano now was a little different from the way she played it before.

She used to be carefree and lived like a little sun every day. But now... even if she tried her best to look happy, she still couldn't hide the sadness between her eyebrows.

"Have you learned it?" Yu Jinzhi didn't know why she was chatting with a shadow guard, and she didn't know why she asked him such a question. She just felt that she wanted to chat with you now.

"No." Xie Yuxiu replied.

Whether as Ying San or Xie Yuxiu, he is not proficient in the art of playing the zither.

"Princess." Qingyu had already returned with the water chestnut cake.

"It's still hot, eat it while it's hot." Qingyu put the food in front of Yu Jinzhi. Xie Yuxiu also saw it, he knew that Yu Jinzhi liked to eat this.

Yu Jinzhi picked up a piece and thought it would taste better when it was hot. But when she put it in her mouth, she felt that the taste was a little different from before.

"Has the chef who makes water chestnut cake been changed?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"No, it's still Old Tang. Does Princess feel that the taste is different?" Qingyu asked.

"It seems a little different from before." As Yu Jinzhi spoke, her mood seemed to become depressed.

Qingyu and Xie Yuxiu also discovered it, but she didn't know how to comfort them. It wasn't the water chestnut cake that tasted different, but her mood was a little different.

After Yu Jinzhi finished eating the piece of water chestnut cake, she never took the second piece. Qingyu originally wanted to make her feel better and cheer her up, so she brought the water chestnut cake over, but she didn't expect that it would backfire.

After Xie Yuxiu left Yu Jinzhi's courtyard, he went directly back to the palace. However...

Wang Yi looked at the eunuch beside him in bewilderment: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why are you making water chestnut cakes for no reason?"

The palace servant shook his head, he didn't know either.

"Is this another stimulation?" Wang Yi felt puzzled, but he guessed that something must have happened to Princess Jiayu just now, otherwise there would be no stimulation.

Xie Yuxiu had been staying in the imperial kitchen since he came back, and the palace servants there were terrified because Xie Yuxiu had been asking them to teach him how to make water chestnut cakes, and each one had a different flavor.

Oh, it’s really difficult to do.

Xie Yuxiu worked all afternoon, and only came out of the imperial kitchen when it was almost dark outside. And he... he looked so miserable.

There is a lot of powder on his body. How can he look like an emperor?

"Your Majesty?" Wang Yi looked at Xie Yuxiu and took the initiative to move forward.

Xie Yuxiu still looked dissatisfied. He had never done this kind of work before, so he couldn't do it well even after trying it many times.

"Go back to Zichen Palace and ask someone to invite a musician. I want to learn how to play the zither." Xie Yuxiu was already out of patience.

Wang Yi: “…” The whole day today has been confusing.

Just now he was making water chestnut cakes, and now he is practicing the piano? What on earth is your majesty up to today? Has he changed his mind after going to the general's mansion?

That night, Xie Yuxiu studied the zither in Zichen Palace for the entire night, and the zither player next to him also had a lot of complaints.

Because Xie Yuxiu also said that he wanted to be on the same level as Princess Jiayu...

Well, is Princess Jiayu's piano skills comparable to those of ordinary people? Unfortunately, he only dared to say this in his heart.
