Ling Zhou was stunned and looked at Ling Hai in surprise.
Chen Yiru frowned. This was clearly flattery! Although she didn't want to admit it, didn't want to admit that Ling Zhou was not as good as Bell Alder. But apart from status, in terms of etiquette, talent, demeanor and temperament, Ling Zhou was really far inferior to Bell Alder.
It can be said that there is absolutely no comparison.
So, this is obviously a veiled praise but a hidden criticism!
Moreover, although Ling Hai's voice was not loud, it was not small either. His words were clearly heard by the people around him. This made the people around him sneer, but due to Ling Zhou's identity, they dared not show it and could only hold it in.
Among them was a young girl who was originally fascinated by Bell Alder playing the piano. However, after hearing what Ling Hai said, her pretty face frowned. If there was no young man next to her pulling her, she would have stood up and talked to Ling Hai.
In her opinion, how could a mere Ling Zhou be qualified to be with the prince charming Bale Alderby?
"Xiao Haizi is not behaving well!"
Ling Zhou glanced at Ling Hai and said calmly.
Damn, Xiao Haizi is making himself uncomfortable!
Ling Hai's teeth chattered with anger and his hands clenched into fists, but in this situation, he didn't dare to confront Ling Zhou, not even a word of rebuttal. He was a smart man and knew why the royal family tolerated him everywhere. If he dared to make things difficult for Ling Zhou in public, the royal family would definitely not forgive him.
Thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Zhou, I heard that Bell Alder is a staunch suitor of Princess Yaslan."
Ling Zhou was stunned and looked at Ling Hai strangely. Did he know something?
Chen Yiru frowned even more.
"Your Highness, let's dance."
Yang Lianxin looked at the men and women dancing on the dance floor, and invited Ling Zhou with longing.
Ling Zhou nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go."
As a member of the royal family, although his predecessor was a playboy, he was also trained in etiquette from a young age. Ballroom dancing, as a social dance for the upper class, he naturally knew how to do it.
Holding Yang Lianxin's hand, the two came to the dance floor. One hand gently held Yang Lianxin's waist, and the other hand held her little hand, dancing with their feet, like a pair of elves.
Although Lingzhou had bad rumors, it had to be said that he had never lost his status in terms of aristocratic etiquette.
…
"Your Highness, this first dance should be performed by you and Lord Zhou."
In the corner, the old man said to the woman in the black dress.
“It’s meaningless.”
The woman said calmly as she looked at Ling Zhou and Yang Lianxin dancing on the dance floor.
The old man hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I heard that Bell Alder already knows about your upcoming engagement to Your Highness Yu Zhou. Do you think he will take the initiative to stir up trouble by following you all the way?"
The woman frowned and said nothing.
…
After the song ended, Ling Zhou and Yang Lianxin returned to their seats and drank some juice. Ling Zhou said, "Oh! This is so boring. Sister Yiru, let's go back."
Chen Yiru nodded and was about to speak. Suddenly her pretty face changed and she said, "Your Highness, you may not be able to leave yet."
"ah?"
Ling Zhou was stunned and turned around to see a young man walking towards them. It was the young swordsman who had just played the piano, Bell Alder, also known as the Little God of Music.
"Hello, Your Highness, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Bell Alder, and I'm from the Alder family in the UK."
Bell Alder performed a noble etiquette and spoke in a warm tone.
Ling Zhou raised his chin, glanced at the other party, and responded with standard aristocratic etiquette, saying: "Hello, Lord Bell, welcome to Lanling. Let's chat in the palace when we have time. Now I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Having said that, he was about to take his people away.
This Bell seemed amiable and polite, but Ling Zhou felt that this guy was here to cause trouble.
As expected, Bell Alder's expression remained unchanged. He bowed calmly and gently, and said, "Your Highness, I heard that you have unique insights into music theory. This is our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."
His words stunned everyone in the room.
What's going on?
Study piano skills with Ling Zhou?
Are you kidding me?
In everyone's eyes, Ling Zhou was just a dandy prince who had no knowledge or skills. In terms of piano skills, he might not be able to beat Bell Alder, let alone a junior high school student.
Ling Zhou was stunned, pointed at himself in disbelief, and said, "You want to compete with me in playing the piano?"
Bell frowned, but still spoke in a gentle and polite tone, "Yes, Your Highness. The last time I met Your Highness Qiao Yu, He told me that you have profound attainments in the art of playing the zither. So this time I came to Lanling, mainly to learn from Your Highness Zhou about the art of playing the zither and to verify my shortcomings."
Ling Zhou frowned. The Qiao Yu the other party was talking about was Princess Ya Si Lan, Qiao Yu Ya Si Lan. How did he involve Qiao Yu? Also, this guy looked gentle and polite. I didn't expect that he would have a set of tricks to trick people.
The routine is very complicated!
Bell's words also made everyone in the field look strange.
Lingzhou knows piano?
Are you kidding me? I'm afraid you can't even read the musical notation.
Behind him, Ling Hai's heart skipped a beat, and a look of gloating flashed in his eyes.
He is 5 years older than Lingzhou, and he has watched Lingzhou grow up. He knows exactly how capable Lingzhou is.
If you're talking about 'smashing pianos', Ling Zhou is good at it, because when he was a child, Lord Lan Ling once invited a world-famous music teacher to teach Ling Zhou the art of piano. Because Ling Zhou had a perverse temper, he smashed several pianos.
Chen Yiru frowned, and when she looked at Bell Alder, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
She was worried in her heart, worried about Ling Zhou, and prayed that he would not do anything stupid.
This hall is filled with young men from all over Lanling and from many ancient European noble families. If Ling Zhou behaves in such an occasion, he will be disgraced.
Thinking about it, she felt a little sad. As Prince Lan Ling, being forced to this point was really...
…
"Your Highness, did you really say that?"
The old man asked the elegant woman who was sitting casually on the sofa.
The woman frowned and said, "I was annoyed by this guy last time, and my father insisted on marrying Lan Ling, which made me feel bad, so I said something angry."
The old man shook his head and said, "What should we do now? Should we watch His Highness Zhou make a fool of himself?"
The woman frowned and said, "Forget it, I'll go out."
As she said this, she was about to stand up and rescue Ling Zhou.
At this time, Ling Zhou spoke in the field.
He looked at Bell with a smile and said, "Examining piano skills? Great!"
His words shocked everyone in the field.
What happened? Why did he agree?
The woman who was about to stand up froze for a moment, then sat back down and said calmly, "If he wants to embarrass himself, let him do it. If he embarrasses himself too much, it will be a good opportunity for my father to cancel this engagement that shouldn't have taken place."
The old man looked at Ling Zhou, who looked lazy in the middle of the field, shook his head and stopped talking.
