Night fell quietly. Although it was dark, one could still clearly feel the stuffy air all around, as if even the air had become sticky.

Huameiju.

When Lin Miaoyin heard that His Highness would be coming over tonight, she began to make careful preparations early.

At this moment, she sat on the couch nervously and expectantly, twisting the handkerchief in her hands.

Next to her is her personal maid Yuqi.

"Yuqi, take a quick look at my makeup, is there anything wrong with it?"

Lin Miaoyin's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Yuqi.

"Master, you have light makeup tonight, your face is rosy, your eyebrows are like distant black, your eyes are like autumn waves, and you are still beautiful. Your Highness will definitely like it."

In order to ease her master's nervousness, Yuqi smiled widely, praised her softly, and her eyes were full of sincerity.

Lin Miaoyin has a petite figure, a beautiful face, and a pitiful appearance that easily arouses a man's desire to protect her.

At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were lightly bitten with her pearly teeth. Her nervousness was fully apparent, making her even more lovable.

Yesterday, the prince went to the concubine's place. The three newlyweds were secretly thinking that the prince would summon the newlyweds tonight, but Lin Miaoyin didn't expect that she would be the first one.

Among the three of them, Lin Miaoyin had the lowest status. Although she was a noble lady of the highest class in Jinzhou, when she came to the capital, Ye Yaqin's father was a second-rank commander-in-chief, and Mu Liyue's father was a third-rank minister of the imperial court. They were both women from aristocratic families.

I originally thought that Her Highness would go to Ye Yaqin first based on their status, but she actually came to Huameiju.

Could it be that His Highness had already remembered her on the day of the selection?

Do you have some feelings towards her?

The more Lin Miaoyin thought about it, the more her heart started beating like a deer, and two blushes quickly appeared on her cheeks.

"Master, His Highness is already on his way to Huamei Residence."

A palace servant hurried in and bowed slightly to report to Lin Miaoyin.

Lin Miaoyin and other concubines had learned the palace rules before the selection, so they naturally knew that they needed to greet the Crown Prince in advance in order to serve him.

Then she took a deep breath, stood up from the couch, straightened her dress, raised what she thought was her most beautiful smile, and walked out of the bedroom with light steps.

At the entrance of Huameiju, Lin Miaoyin stood respectfully with an upright posture and a hint of submissiveness.

Her eyes extended outward from time to time, full of anticipation and nervousness.

Jun Zechen walked slowly out of the deep darkness, his steps steady and powerful.

Lin Miaoyin had never carefully looked at the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before. At this moment, as His Royal Highness gradually approached, she took a quick glance at him. Her handsome face made her lower her head shyly in an instant, and her cheeks turned as red as the sunset.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Miaoyin bowed slightly, her voice soft and a little shy.

"Get up."

Jun Zechen's voice was light, calm and without any waves.

Then, without looking around, he walked past her and went straight into the house.

Lin Miaoyin followed behind him, and only at this moment did she dare to quietly raise her head and look at the majestic figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His broad shoulders and straight spine made her heart beat faster.

Jun Zechen came over after dinner. He didn't spend much time in the harem in his previous life, but this woman had also been in his harem for many years, and Jun Zechen was already familiar with her.

When he saw them again, his heart was as calm as water, just like the kind of person who knew everything about everyone, whether it was their personality, what they would do in the future, or their admiration for him, so Jun Zechen's heart was not disturbed at all.

After entering the room, Jun Zechen sat down on the couch very casually with smooth movements.

Anshun respectfully handed the book he brought from Yude Hall to Jun Zechen.

This is a collection of poems that Jun Zechen used to kill time. After all, it was still early.

Lin Miaoyin sat obediently on the other side of the couch, her body slightly tense, not quite sure what to say.

If she spoke rashly, would His Highness think she was noisy?

Lin Miaoyin bit her lips lightly, leaving faint marks on them with her pearly teeth. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes wandering, and seemed a little at a loss.

In the silent room, there was only the slight sound of papers turning when Jun Zechen was flipping through books.

Lin Miaoyin felt that she couldn't just wait passively like this. After hesitating for a long time, she mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, how about I play the piano for you?"

Jun Zechen did not take his eyes off the book, but just nodded slightly.

Lin Miaoyin gave Yuqi a look, and Yuqi understood and took her piano.

In fact, playing the piano is not Lin Miaoyin's special skill, but Lin Miaoyin does not know His Highness's preferences at the moment, so she can only try it out first.

Later, after I have a deeper understanding of Your Highness’ preferences, I will study hard.

Yuqi placed the piano properly, and Lin Miaoyin walked over and sat down. She gently tested the piano sound with her slender fingers, and then began to play the song she was most familiar with.

The melody was melodious and graceful, flowing into people's hearts like a gurgling stream. A pair of affectionate eyes always looked at Jun Zechen, with shyness and admiration.

She sat there concentrating on playing the piano, while he half-reclined and leisurely read a book. The scene looked very peaceful and beautiful.

However, Lin Miaoyin's piano music reflects her inner shyness. Every note carries the feelings of a young girl in love, making the air seem to be filled with a subtle sweetness.

Jun Zechen knew clearly that Lin Miaoyin was not very good at playing the piano, and the one with superb piano skills was Ye Yaqin.

However, Ye Yaqin is as ambitious as the Ye family. Although she appears gentle on the surface, she is actually very scheming and uses many tricks.

As a result, Jun Zechen felt that Ye Yaqin's piano music no longer had the elegance of grace, but was instead tainted with the vulgarity of power.
