Chapter 69 Concubine Zhao succeeded!

The closer you get, the clearer the singing becomes.

Besides the melodious tune, there is also a strong sense of sadness that cannot be dissolved, which makes people feel uncomfortable when listening to it.

Luo Qinghan stopped and looked at the woman in front of him with her back to him, remaining silent.

The woman didn't turn around until the song was over.

The green pine tree hiding in the dark opened its eyes wide and watched carefully.

With the help of the bright moonlight, he could see the woman's face clearly. It was Miss Zhao!

Concubine Zhao didn't expect that the prince was here. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt down in haste to pay her respects.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I did not know that His Royal Highness was here. I was unable to perform my greetings in time. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Her voice was pleasant to begin with, and now it was trembling slightly with panic, making her sound even more pitiful and fragile. No one would be able to blame her after hearing it.

Luo Qinghan asked her to stand up.

Lady Zhao was wearing a moon-white floor-length dress. The soft and thin fabric stuck to her body, making her figure look even more graceful and slender. With her fair, pretty oval face and rosy, plump lips, she was even more beautiful than anything else.

This was the first time she saw the prince at such a close distance, and she felt both nervous and excited.

She raised her head cautiously and looked at the prince shyly.

There is obvious emotion hidden in those watery eyes.

Luo Qinghan asked: "What did you sing just now?"

"It's a tune from my hometown, called 'Watching the Sunset on a Boat at Dusk'."

"Your hometown is in Chenliu County?"

"Yes."

Luo Qinghan looked at her for a moment and said, "I didn't know that there were people from the same hometown as my mother in the East Palace. How did you get into the palace?"

Concubine Zhao blushed as he looked at her, and replied coyly, "I entered the palace during the selection last year."

"It's so late, why are you here instead of staying in your room?"

"I have been in the palace for more than half a year. I miss my hometown and relatives very much, but I dare not tell others about this. I can only come here quietly to sing a folk song from my hometown to comfort my homesickness."

At the end of her speech, Lady Zhao lowered her head in disappointment, and the golden butterfly hairpin in her hair trembled slightly.

Luo Qinghan stretched out his right hand, pinched her chin, and forced her to raise her head.

The two looked at each other.

When Concubine Zhao looked at the prince's handsome face, her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably and her body felt a little weak.

She was so shy that she wanted to hide away, but she couldn't bear to do so. Her voice trembled slightly, like a crabapple flower in full bloom, waiting for her lover to pick it.

"Your Highness..."

Eunuch Chang wanted to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that they were still outside and it would be bad if someone passed by and saw this scene. If His Royal Highness wanted to have some fun, it would be better for him to go back inside.

But he knew the prince's temperament, and if he said this, he would definitely be slapped in the face.

Eunuch Chang could only sigh and waved to the palace maids and eunuchs behind him.

Everyone turned away tactfully, not daring to look any further.

Qingsong, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and thought, it's all over, Concubine Zhao has succeeded!

He was afraid that if he continued watching, he would see something inappropriate for children. Anyway, he already knew everything he needed to know, so there was no need to stay here any longer. He simply looked away and ran away quietly.

Luo Qing looked coldly at the beautiful Zhao who was so close to him. He had no reaction to her shy expression and his eyes were as cold as a knife.

"Who asked you to come here to sing? And who told you that my mother was from Chenliu County?"

Lady Zhao’s body trembled, and then she froze in place.

Her pupils shrank slightly, and her face showed a moment of panic.

"What are you saying, Your Highness? I don't understand."
