Chapter 60 Who is playing the piano late at night?
As the crown prince, no matter what his relationship with Yang Guifei was like on weekdays, it was natural for them to put aside their grudges today.
He personally went to the Chengde Marquis' Mansion to preside over the wedding on behalf of the emperor. He was busy all day and drank a lot of wine.
When I returned to the East Palace, my head felt a little dizzy.
Before entering his Yuqing Palace, he heard the faint sound of a piano coming from the small garden beside him.
The sound of the zither is clear and melodious, like the sound of a cold spring rinsing jade.
The sound trembled three times, like a copper bell on the eaves being gently hit by the night wind, shattered into stars and falling into a deep pool, stirring up layers of ripples.
Yan Shixu looked at Yongtai behind him in confusion.
"Who is playing the piano so late at night?"
Yongtai thought to himself, who else could it be? The person who came to attract your attention in the middle of the night must be a certain Fengyi in the East Palace.
He bowed and replied, "I'll go check it out right away."
However, he hadn't yet taken a step forward to see what was going on.
The sound of the zither suddenly became as rapid as rain hitting banana leaves, fingers swishing across the thirteen frets, the staggered sound of the strings like horse hooves crushing an ice river;
Suddenly it becomes slow and gentle like the rolling and unrolling clouds, and the long and slow melody is like the silk spinning by a spring silkworm, lingering and endless.
Yongtai looked at the prince whose expression gradually grew colder, and silently lit a candle for Fengyi in his heart.
This guy must be a fool. Didn’t he make thorough inquiries before coming here?
Your Highness is most disgusted by Yang Guifei's seductive and pretentious tactics.
Judging from the sound of the piano, this person probably learned everything from Yang Guifei.
The next moment, Yan Shixu rubbed his brows and ordered in a cold voice: "Throw it far away, don't disturb my rest."
After saying this, he strode into Yuqing Hall.
Yongtai bowed to his back and then turned and entered the garden.
The woman sat alone in an octagonal pavilion with a bamboo curtain hanging over it. Frosty moonlight slanted down through the carved lattice windows, casting a silver glow on the paulownia wood zither on the table.
She was wearing a plain white shark silk shawl, and her hair was tied up in a loose bun with a gold hairpin. When a few strands of black hair hung down, they reflected a cold and dim light together with the white jade bracelet on her wrist.
At first glance, you might think it was a fairy descending to earth.
Yongtai raised his voice and coughed lightly, and the graceful fairy slowly turned her head.
Looking back and smiling, she is full of charm...
The perfect 45-degree side profile and the perfectly raised jawline are truly captivating.
It’s a pity that the real owner didn’t come…
Just as Yongtai thought, the person playing the piano here was Feng Yingying, the Fengyi who lived in Xiyue Palace.
When Feng Yingying saw the person coming, the impeccable smile on her face froze slightly.
But soon, she forced a smile.
"Eunuch Yong, what a coincidence! The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, and I, Fengyi, was so inspired that I couldn't help but play a tune."
Yongtai's mouth twitched, and he was worried about Feng Fengyi's IQ.
He bowed slightly and spoke calmly to Feng Yingying, "Your Highness has sent me a message. Feng Fengyi disturbed your sleep in the middle of the night and behaved inappropriately. He is confined to Xiyue Palace for a month."
The smile on Feng Yingying's face completely froze.
"No, Eunuch Yong, His Highness must have misunderstood..." I...
Before she could finish, Yongtai waved his hand.
Two eunuchs came over from a distance and "invited" Feng Yingying back.
The next day.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that Feng Yingying tried to seduce His Highness last night.
I failed and was grounded for a month.
After listening to the palace servant's report, Xie Zhenrong sneered, "What a clown."
The reactions of the other Fengyi were different.
Wen Wanqin, who lived with Feng Yingying in Xiyue Palace, just stared at a beautiful flower outside the window without any reaction.
When Yang Xishan paid her respects in the morning, she mocked Feng Yingying in a sarcastic tone.
After hearing this, Lin Fujia felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, she did not listen to Nanny Qiu's advice and dressed up beautifully to meet His Highness halfway.
As for Wen Li'er, she also heard about this.
She took a sip of the hot soup and didn't comment.
She felt that she admired Feng Fengyi's courage. If it were her, she would definitely not dare to do that.
Wen Li'er stroked her belly with a loving smile on her face.
This little life is growing healthily.
She only hopes that her child can grow up healthy and safely by her side.
Time flies, and as the year draws to a close, the weather is getting colder.
Rewards from the Cining Palace would be delivered from time to time.
The gifts sent from Yuqing Palace were particularly numerous, but these rewards were far beyond her rank as Fengyi.
Wen Li'er was a little frightened.
Nanny Qin comforted her, "Master, don't worry. You're pregnant with His Highness's child, so your rank should be elevated. The Crown Prince hasn't mentioned it yet, probably because he wants to wait until you give birth to the little master before promoting you to a higher rank. These rewards now are just to pave the way for a future promotion."
Wen Li'er's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She wasn't happy about her promotion.
Rather, with her rising status, she would be more qualified to raise her own children!
Thinking of this, Wen Li'er planned to ask His Highness directly whether she could raise the child herself.
But since that night, the prince became busy again and rarely went into the backyard.
Wen Li'er thought about it and for the first time took the initiative to send someone to Yuqing Palace to invite the prince over.
After Yan Shixu finished his day's work, Yongtai stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Wen Fengyi sent Qingzhu to deliver a message. He wants you to come over when you have time. He says Wen Fengyi has something important to tell you."
Yan Shixu was a little surprised. This was the first time that his young Fengyi had taken the initiative to ask someone to invite him.
That night, he took Yongtai to Yaohua Palace.
