The two women turned around at the same time and saw that the man standing by the door was no more than twenty years old. He was wearing a silver-white robe with cloud pattern and floral patterns. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with delicate gladiolus patterns. He also had a light blue belt with a rosin-colored purse hanging from it. The silk ribbon swayed, and he had a charming smile. His long hair and seductive eyes made him even more beautiful than the women. However, his smiling eyes emitted a hint of coldness when he looked at Hai Tian and others, which made people feel cold!
The owner of that gentle voice frowned upon seeing the man in white. Her beautiful eyes, shimmering with frost and snow, instantly filled with deep disgust. She sternly said, "Chen Xi, today is the prince's wedding day. How can you wear white?"
After seeing the attire of her fifth brother, Hai Tian also frowned slightly, and a look of disgust also flashed in her eyes. However, her mother had already started to scold Hai Chenxi at this time, and she was too lazy to argue with this illegitimate fifth brother who had always been at odds with her!
The one who was singled out for scolding was the youngest son of the Sea King, Hai Chenxi. His mother was the deceased Sea King's concubine, Concubine Qin, who was once the Sea King's most beloved concubine. However, she died in an accident when Hai Chenxi was five years old!
However, how many people would believe it if it was an accident? There were many cases of vying for favor in the mansion, and it was inevitable that someone would secretly do something shady, causing the accidental death of the former Concubine Qin!
Because of this unique favor, even though Concubine Qin had passed away thirteen years ago, the one that King of the Sea loved the most among his many children was Hai Chenxi. King of the Sea rejected all of Concubine Qin's requests to him to discipline his youngest son who behaved eccentrically and was extremely arrogant!
At this point, Princess Hai couldn't stand Hai Chenxi anymore, and would teach him a lesson in a stern voice whenever she got the chance!
Hai Chenxi, however, seemed to have long been accustomed to the harsh words of the Sea Princess. He didn't care at all for this harmless rebuke. However, the smile on his face emanated a hint of hatred. Staring at the mother and daughter who had been carefully dressed today, especially seeing that the Sea Princess had still maintained herself well after all these years, Hai Chenxi's words were quite disrespectful, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! However, my dress is silver-white with cloud patterns on it, so it can't be considered pure white. Please don't be picky anymore!"
After saying this, Hai Chenxi didn't even look at the two people in front of him. He turned around and left the door with a cold smile. However, the pearl hairpin on Princess Hai's head trembled in anger. She pointed at his back with her right hand but never said a word!
"Mother, why bother with him? Even if he is favored by father, he doesn't have mother's support after all. This favor won't last long!" Hai Tian didn't want to ruin Hai Chenxi's mood, so she took the hand of Princess Hai and comforted him, "Besides, today is big brother's good day. Let's just celebrate ours. Getting angry with that motherless guy will make him look ridiculous! He is just jealous of us now!"
After hearing her daughter's words of comfort, Princess Hai regained her noble demeanor. She raised her hand and gently stroked the golden hairpin on her head. Then, with a hint of concern, she said, "Tian'er, your eldest brother married the granddaughter of the Crown Prince's tutor, so you naturally can't fall behind! You've married well, and the burden on your heart has been half lifted!"
Listening to Princess Hai's instructions, Hai Tian smiled faintly, then turned her gaze to Yun Qianmeng in the garden. She saw Yun Qianmeng was talking with Qu Feiqing with her head down. A murderous look flashed in Hai Tian's eyes, and then she smiled. Her cold and beautiful face was very charming. She supported Princess Hai towards the table and said softly, "My daughter will definitely not let mother down!"
At this time, the garden was very lively. The people who arrived earlier did not expect to see King Chen at this time!
Although Prince Chen had a frosty face that unconsciously gave people a sense of oppression, his facial features were as cold as if carved by a knife, his face had sharp lines and his eyes were deep and sharp. Especially the purple and gold brocade robe with dragon and round flowers that showed his noble status, which made all the rich men raise their fans to take a peek!
Now, Prince Chen had been rejected by Yun Qianmeng. Although he was unwilling to accept this, he was in the residence of Prince of the Sea and could not let someone with ulterior motives reap the benefits. He gave Yun Qianmeng a cold look, turned around and walked out of "Suiyi Garden", which made the young ladies disappointed. They stared at the archway of... Suiyi Garden for a long time before retracting their reluctant gazes!
"The Sea Prince's Palace is truly a beautiful place, blessed with natural beauty. Look at these flowers and plants; they must be rare wild herbs from Yangming Mountain! The Sea Prince truly has a discerning eye, choosing such a precious piece of land!" A young lady from the inner chambers of the family chatted with her fellow young ladies in the distance. This was all their first time at the Sea Prince's Palace, and they were all stunned by its vast expanse and captivated by its unique and thoughtful layout.
The person who just spoke was the granddaughter of Dr. Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Growing up in a family of imperial physicians, she had naturally been exposed to a lot of medical knowledge. Just by looking at the flowers and plants beside her, she could recognize that they were precious herbs that were almost extinct. For her, who loved medicine so much, this was undoubtedly more exciting than getting gold, silver and jewelry. She immediately shared her joy with the other young ladies beside her!
“Miss Sun is absolutely right! However, what is truly rare is that the construction of the Sea Prince’s Palace actually caters to the unique situation of Yangming Mountain and is completely in line with the Tai Chi Bagua diagram! This is extremely rare! I just don’t know who the Sea Prince asked to supervise the construction at that time, and how he was able to build such a magnificent building. If my father were here, he would definitely want to discuss ideas with this person!” The one who spoke this time was Miss Gan Jinmei, the Minister of Works. At this moment, she looked like an expert, with her eyes shining with excitement as she carefully observed the surrounding buildings!
After these two young ladies pointed out the secrets, the other young ladies and gentlemen suddenly realized the hidden depths of the Sea King's Palace. They were afraid that in addition to its vast area, the Sea King's Palace might also hide even more secrets!
Yun Qianmeng and Qu Feiqing listened to their discussion attentively. Both of them frowned imperceptibly. Qu Feiqing, in particular, even glanced at Qu Changqing on purpose, with a hint of unwillingness flashing across her beautiful eyes!
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically about the various things in the Sea King's Mansion when Rong Yunhe, a man with white hair, walked into the gate of the "Sui Yi Garden". He glanced at the garden with cold eyes, and when he saw Yun Qianmeng, his gaze paused for a moment, and then he sat down at the table farthest away from the main table!
When everyone saw that Rong Yunhe was also invited, the young ladies were frightened and the young men acted as flower protectors. They stood up one by one from their seats and squeezed towards the table farthest from Rong Yunhe. For a moment, everyone was scrambling for seats, and the scene was quite spectacular. However, when Yun Qianmeng and the other two saw this scene, all they could show was a hint of ridicule!
These young men are said to be the future pillars of Western Chu, but their feudal ignorance is evident!
Those young ladies say that they can give birth to a better next generation, but with such courage and vision, I am afraid that the ones they give birth to will only be short-sighted!
Seeing them treating Rong Yunhe as a monster and their terrified expressions, Yun Qianmeng suddenly lost interest in looking at them. She turned to look at Rong Yunhe, who was sitting alone at a table. She saw that he was also looking at her, so she smiled and nodded to greet him!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng like this, Qu Changqing and Qu Feiqing looked at Rong Yunhe with doubts. However, they found that although this legitimate son of the Rong family had white hair, he was calm and did not show any anger at the rejection of others. Compared with those rich young men who judge people by their appearance, his character and virtue must be much better than one level!
However, compared to Qu Changqing's observation of people's moral character, Qu Feiqing was concerned about something else. She approached Yun Qianmeng, put her red lips close to Yun Qianmeng's ear, and jokingly said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "This Rong Gongzi, apart from his eye-catching white hair, is truly a handsome young man! I wonder what my sister Meng'er thinks?"
Yun Qianmeng was amused by Qu Feiqing's gossipy look. She glanced at Qu Feiqing, but saw Qu Changqing looking at her seriously. She couldn't help but cough lightly and changed the subject. "Cousin, please don't try to make Meng'er laugh! Master Rong, Master Qianqian, it would be disrespectful for us to discuss this privately! However, Meng'er is very curious about the fifth son of the Sea King at the moment. I wonder if you feel a little curious at the same time?"
Qu Feiqing had finally managed to temporarily forget about the proposal from the Sea Prince's Mansion. When Yun Qianmeng mentioned it again, her mischievous expression suddenly drooped. She kept twirling the round fan in her hands, a trace of worry occasionally appearing between her brows. She pursed her lips and murmured, "You can tell who Hai Tian is by looking at her!"
After these words were spoken, Yun Qianmeng and Qu Changqing laughed quietly. It seemed that Qu Feiqing had a very bad impression of Hai Tian. She actually lumped everyone in the Sea Palace together!
However, judging from what the Neptune's Mansion has shown people now, such a family full of secrets is indeed not suitable for the simple-minded Qu Feiqing!
Yun Qianmeng was just about to speak to comfort Qu Feiqing when she saw another nobleman walk in. She looked closely and found that it was Su Chengyan from the Su Mansion. He was the only one who came today. Su Qianyue must have no face to see people in the future after the incident of falling into the water and the maid having a secret meeting with someone!
However, the arrival of Su Chengyan did not cause much waves. Although Su Chengyan could be called a handsome young man, compared with the noble King Chen and the maverick Rong Yunhe, he did not have any special features, and his family background was not particularly eye-catching!
However, his attitude towards others was indifferent. When his eyes caught sight of Yun Qianmeng, he walked straight towards her quickly. His fast steps made everyone present feel extremely angry!
Yun Qianmeng gently waved the fragrant wood folding fan in her hand, looking at him calmly as he sat across from her at the table...
"You can sit here peacefully!" Su Chengyan looked at Yun Qianmeng who was so calm, and thought of his sister crying all day at home. He suddenly became angry and growled with gritted teeth!
After hearing his words, Yun Qianmeng paused fanning herself, then folded up the fan leaf by leaf and spoke softly, "Don't have the intention to harm others! Master Su should ask what my sister has done! If we don't agree, there's no point in talking. Please sit somewhere else!"
Su Chengyan didn't expect Yun Qianmeng to be so disrespectful to him. She saw him sitting down and even told him to leave. At this time, all the young men and women were staring at this side with the look of watching a good show. If he left at this time, he was afraid that their Su family would have no chance to stay in the circle of young nobles in Kyoto!
Thinking of this, Su Chengyanzheng narrowed his eyes dangerously and stared at Yun Qianmeng, saying sarcastically, "Leave this to yourself, Miss Yun! You shouldn't have the intention to harm others. Miss Yun, don't you think this is quite ironic coming from your mouth?"
Seeing how shameless Su Chengyan was, not only did he refuse to leave but he even mocked Yun Qianmeng, Qu Feiqing, eager to defend her, was about to stand up and speak, but Yun Qianmeng held her hands under the table. Yun Qianmeng didn't show any anger at all. Instead, she looked at Su Chengyan with a smile, playing with the golden tassels on her folding fan with one hand, and said slowly: "I just have to be cautious! If Master Su thinks this is wrong, then go back and ask Miss Su what she did. And isn't it unbecoming of a noble man for Master Su to vent his anger on others like this?"
Qu Changqing originally wanted to ask Su Chengyan to leave... but when he saw Yun Qianmeng handling the situation appropriately and a smile gradually appeared in her eyes, he let her go!
Sure enough, after Su Chengyan heard Yun Qianmeng's last question, he didn't care whether to scold her or not. He was actually a little worried that his behavior just now had violated the etiquette of a rich and noble young man. So he sat where he was, glaring at Yun Qianmeng but didn't say another word!
At this moment, the voice of the housekeeper came from outside the Suiyi Garden, "Princess of the Sea is here! Princess Tian is here!"
Everyone immediately fell silent and stood up to look at the two distinguished women who walked in!
I saw Hai Tian, who was usually arrogant, was now following a middle-aged beautiful woman obediently. The two of them had similar features. I guess this must be the Sea King’s first wife, the Sea Princess!
This Sea Princess looks to be around forty years old, but because she lives a life of luxury and the fresh air on Yangming Mountain is suitable for health, this Sea Princess looks only in her early thirties and appears very young!
Today was a wedding banquet, and the Princess of the Sea wore a bright red palace dress, an eight-gold phoenix hairpin on her head, and pearl and jade earrings on her ears swayed as she walked, but did not make a single sound. It can be seen that although the Princess of the Sea did not often appear in front of the public, she was also a person who paid great attention to etiquette!
Looking at her calm demeanor when she walks, you can tell where Hai Tian learned her intelligence and ability!
Today, Hai Tian was wearing a rose-red floor-length dress with several golden butterflies embroidered on the hem. When Hai Tian walked past the crowd, the embroidery was so brilliant that she looked like a goddess. The young masters of various mansions were obsessed with her, while the daughters of various families were jealous!
"Greetings to Princess Hai and Princess Hai Tian!" When Princess Hai came to the main seat, everyone saluted to the two of them in unison!
The Princess of the Sea smiled dignifiedly, then raised her right hand and said slowly, "Gentlemen and ladies, there's no need to be so reserved. Just treat this as your own garden! Today, we're taking advantage of the Crown Prince's birth to bring everyone together to bond!"
Having said that, who would dare to act presumptuously in the mansion of the Sea King, who holds military power?
Everyone waited until the Sea Princess finished speaking before someone respectfully replied, "Yes!"
Unexpectedly, just as Princess Hai had taken her seat outside the "Sui Yi Garden", the butler's voice rang out again, "His Majesty the Sea has arrived! His Majesty the Chen has arrived! Prime Minister Chu has arrived!"
Everyone stood up again, and the Princess of the Sea stood up from the main seat and moved a little to the left, then she looked at the people who came in with a smile on her face!
However, what no one expected was that Prince Hai Quan was actually pushed in in a wheelchair by a man who looked like a young master. Following closely behind him were Jiang Muchen in a purple and gold prince's robe, and Chu Feiyang in a black brocade robe!
When the Princess of the Sea saw the man pushing the Sea King, the smile on her face froze slightly, but it returned to normal in an instant. She led everyone in bowing to Hai Quan, "Greetings, Your Highness!" "Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Everyone, don't be so formal, please stand up!" A gentle voice sounded in the garden. Everyone stood up after hearing it, and then they looked at the rarely seen Sea King at their leisure!
He was in his forties or fifties, but with a sturdy figure and handsome appearance. Compared with the young gentlemen present, he looked more like a middle-aged man. However, what was unexpected was that the Aquaman, who had been mentioned many times, was sitting in a wheelchair at this time. Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, and everyone must have been full of questions!
Although Aquaman is a military commander, his voice just now had a hint of elegance. I guess it was because he had been surrounded by green mountains and clear waters for these years and specialized in literature and calligraphy!
I have to say that Aquaman’s performance today was beyond everyone’s expectations!
I thought that the Sea King who lived in this palace was an arrogant and domineering figure like Aobai, but when I saw it with my own eyes, it was a completely different scene.
The Sea King seemed to have anticipated everyone's expressions and speculations. With a smile on his face, he allowed the young man to push him in front of the Sea Princess. Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "Today, I am simply inviting everyone here to celebrate the birth of my grandson. Gentlemen and ladies, there is no need to be too formal!"
After saying this, Neptune nodded to the butler beside him, and the butler immediately turned around and left "Sui Yi Garden".
"Your Highness, if you come out like this, be careful not to catch a cold in your legs, and your leg disease will relapse!" The Princess of the Sea saw that the Sea King was in a good mood, but as the mountain wind was gradually rising, she said with a little concern!
But the Sea King waved his hand at her and said in a rare good mood, "I haven't been involved in court affairs for many years. The sons of my colleagues in the court have all grown up. Today is a wedding banquet at home, so naturally I have to come out and meet everyone to strengthen my relationship with my colleagues! Chen Xi, don't you agree?"
Finally, Neptune Jingzheng turned his head to look at the young man behind him, and the man smiled, his narrow phoenix eyes filled with a hint of laughter as he shot a smile at the Neptune Princess in front of him. He said with a sinister tone: "The scenery is beautiful today. Father should really go out for a walk! Otherwise, staying in the study all day will make you sick!"
The Neptune family was chatting casually, but everyone could hear their conversation. When Qu Feiqing heard Neptune call out the young man's name, her expression changed slightly!
Qu Changqing naturally knew what his sister was thinking. Seeing that they were quite far away from the Sea King and the others, he whispered to them, "I've heard from the old lady that our great grandfather treated the Sea King so well because he was injured in a battle while saving our great grandfather. That's why our great grandfather ordered people to find Yangming Mountain so that the Sea King could live out his days there! For all these years, the Sea King has been living an idle prince. Although he receives the annual salary and rewards from the court, he has never once attended court!"
Yun Qianmeng listened to Qu Changqing's explanation, a doubt flashing through her mind. She glanced at Qu Feiqing, who lowered her head and remained silent, and said softly, "It's just that we never imagined that the Sea King had injured both legs and was now in a wheelchair!"
Hearing her question, Qu Changqing's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he shook his head slightly, saying with regret: "The emperor sends imperial doctors to see the Sea King every month, but it is said that they can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause! As for the severity of the injury, the Sea King has not appeared in front of the public for so many years. If we hadn't come here today, I'm afraid we wouldn't know this!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng lowered her head. She still had doubts about the performance of the Sea King family today, especially their conversation just now, which seemed to be intended to let people know that his legs were injured and he couldn't walk!
Yun Qianmeng was originally staring at the folding fan in her hand, but she noticed Qu Feiqing beside her absentmindedly playing with the round fan in her hand. She reached out and snatched the fan, then glanced at the man standing behind the Sea King, who was full of feminine aura, and whispered, "Cousin, I think that's the person the Sea King's wife mentioned!"
Qu Feiqing immediately raised her head and looked at Yun Qianmeng. Unexpectedly, Yun Qianmeng's observation skills were so sharp, so she could only nod helplessly and said in a low voice, "That is the fifth son of the Sea King, Hai Chenxi! He is the only son of the Sea King's late concubine Qin, and also the Sea King's most beloved son! You have seen him today. He is full of evil and is truly terrifying! How can such a person be a husband?"
Hearing her words, Yun Qianmeng looked over and saw Hai Chenxi glaring at the Sea Princess with his eyes slightly narrowed. Although the Sea Princess had a smile on her face, a hint of hatred accidentally slipped into her eyes. Perhaps the relationship between the two was not as harmonious as it seemed!
Just as she was about to look away, she accidentally saw Hai Tian staring at Chu Feiyang with eyes full of infatuation, while Chu Feiyang was staring at her with a smile in his eyes. Before she could look away, she saw Hai Tian's eyes full of anger shooting at her. Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but glare at Chu Feiyang. Then she put her mind on Qu Feiqing and carefully comforted her, "If cousin doesn't want to, you can explain to the old lady and uncle! I believe they will definitely put cousin's happiness first!"
Qu Feiqing was about to speak when Hai Tian's slightly sharp voice came from the front, "Miss Yun, as the daughter of the Prime Minister, why are you sitting so far away? Doesn't it seem that the Sea Prince's Mansion has no rules?"
As soon as Hai Tian said this, everyone's eyes turned to Yun Qianmeng, who didn't want to stand out too much today!
Yun Qianmeng sighed inwardly, yet couldn't help but feel somewhat resentful towards Chu Feiyang. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have become the victim of the city fire. She could only stand up and smile faintly as she replied, "Your Highness, please forgive me! But since Your Highness just said there's no need to be so reserved, I'll just take the nearest seat!"
Yun Qianmeng's answer was impeccable. She used the Sea King as a pretext and simply sat nearby, not offending anyone. However, Hai Tian's expression darkened. Then she continued, "I saw Miss Yun's cooking skills at the old lady's birthday banquet at the Duke of Fuguo's mansion last time. I'm sure Miss Yun is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Hai Tian also appreciates talent, and today I'd like to have a competition with Miss Yun!"
After hearing what Hai Tian said, everyone looked at Yun Qianmeng with some pity!
After all, Hai Tian is a famous talented woman in Xichu, while Yun Qianmeng has been unknown since she was born. Isn't Hai Tian trying to make fun of Yun Qianmeng by comparing her own strengths with others?
Seeing how eager Hai Tian was to embarrass herself, Yun Qianmeng didn't respond. Instead, she said modestly, "The princess is a talented woman from Western Chu. I only learned a few simple characters at home and can't be compared with her!"
Such an answer seemed to be accusing Hai Tian of bullying the weak. In addition, Hai Tian usually seemed a bit domineering in her dealings with others, which won Yun Qianmeng a lot of sympathy votes!
"Father, we haven't even had dinner yet, and I'm already wanting to compete. Isn't that a bit too impatient?" At this moment, Hai Chenxi actually spoke up to help Yun Qianmeng, drawing a glare from Hai Tian. However, Hai Chenxi ignored her and looked at the Sea King sincerely, suggesting, "I'm sure the housekeeper has everything ready. Please move on, Father!"
Seeing that Hai Chenxi was rarely so serious, the Sea King couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He immediately smiled and nodded, and ordered, "In that case, please follow me!"
After saying that, the Sea King's gentle eyes seemed to accidentally sweep across Yun Qianmeng's lowered face, and then he was pushed out of... Suiyi Garden by Hai Chenxi!
Hai Tian looked at the Sea Princess with a gloomy face, who also had a bad look on her face. Although she was annoyed, she could only stand up and follow the Sea King out of the garden!
Everyone was puzzled. Aren’t they having their meals in this... Suiyi Garden?
However, seeing that the masters had all left and the servants from the Sea King's Mansion were not serving the meal, they could only stand up and follow them!
Yun Qianmeng just stood up and was about to take a step forward when someone grabbed her sleeve. Qu Feiqing nervously warned her in a low voice, "Meng'er, if Hai Tian provokes you again, you should excuse yourself by saying you're not feeling well, or you'll fall into her trap!"
Qu Changqing also had a worried look on his face. When he heard Qu Feiqing say what he was thinking, he signaled Yun Qianmeng with his eyes to do as his sister said!
But Yun Qianmeng patted Qu Feiqing's delicate hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, cousin. Now that I'm here, I won't be afraid of her!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's determined expression, as if she came prepared, the brother and sister felt relieved. Seeing that everyone in the garden had left, the three of them also hurried out of the garden!
The crowd walked through the front yard of the Sea King's Mansion, then passed through a section of purple bamboo forest, and finally stepped through a primeval forest. What came into view was a lake that seemed to have no end!
It was noon at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and golden sunlight was shining on the lake. The mountain breeze blew gently across the lake, causing shimmering waves, which stunned everyone's eyes!
This is clearly in the mountains, so why is there such an endless lake? Where does the water come from?
A series of questions immediately popped up in everyone's mind, but Neptune smiled indifferently, then glanced at the butler who had been waiting there. The butler raised his hands and clapped them twice, and a golden and jade-carved sightseeing boat came out from the secret of the primeval forest!
The ship is three stories high, ten feet high, and about fifty feet long. The hull is made of natural old fir wood with a pattern of soaring clouds carved on it and painted with gold lacquer, showing the dignity and grandeur of the Sea King's Palace!
Today, these wealthy young men were all born into wealthy families and had seen all kinds of good things. However, when they saw this lake and this boat on Yangming Mountain, they were immediately shocked. There was something else in everyone's eyes when they looked at Neptune!
However, the Sea King explained with gratitude, "Your Majesty is so gracious. He knows that I cannot leave Yangming Mountain, so he graciously allowed me to dig this artificial lake for my leisure time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood that only the Sea King, who had made great contributions to the country, deserved this honor!
At this time, two guards appeared beside Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen at the same time. The two guards whispered a few words in their ears. King Chen's expression became colder, while the smile on Chu Feiyang's face became even wider!
The Sea King saw it but did not ask any questions. He just asked his servants to help the rich gentlemen get on board!
After boarding the big ship, everyone knew that Neptune had already ordered people to prepare lunch. Sitting in the ship and enjoying the delicious food and admiring the unique scenery outside was a great experience, which made everyone excited!
The Sea King naturally sat at the same table with the King of Chen and Chu Feiyang, each with a different expression! However, due to the Sea King's kindness, he actually let Hai Chenxi sit next to him!
The Sea King was warm and gentle, Jiang Muchen was cold, Chu Feiyang smiled but said nothing, and Hai Chenxi exuded an evil aura...
The Qian Jins felt that their eyes were not enough for a moment, and their gazes kept stealing glances at Jiang Muchen, Chu Feiyang and Hai Chenxi!
Compared with Jiang Muchen who showed his nobility today, Chu Feiyang was mysterious in his black brocade robe with gold thread and phoenix pattern. At the same time, the gold thread piping on the cuffs, lapels and hem added a touch of nobility. Especially with his handsome appearance, smile and silent depth, he made everyone feel at ease!
Although Hai Chenxi is also a handsome man, he is too feminine and evil, which makes people stay away from him. He is not as popular as Jiang Muchen!
As the cups clinked, time passed by bit by bit. Perhaps it was because the Sea King had not cared about worldly affairs for a long time, and he started to have a long conversation with the Chen King Chu Feiyang. The Qianjins just felt bored, so they all apologized and stepped out of the first floor cabin and went to the third floor. Watching the sunlight moving westward, it was also a beautiful sight!
At this moment, a melodious sound of guqin was heard from the cabin on the first floor. Everyone walked down the deck together and saw Hai Tian sitting in front of the guqin, her slender fingers gracefully playing the strings. She gave up her best piece "Ten Sides of Ambush" and played "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"!
The person sitting directly opposite Hai Tian was Chu Feiyang, and while Hai Tian was playing the piano, she stared at Chu Feiyang boldly, her eyes full of determination to win him over!
Everyone knows Hai Tian's heart, but Chu Feiyang is the only one whose expression remains unchanged. He continues to toast and chat with Neptune, not even giving Hai Tian a glance!
When the song ended, everyone was amazed, but only the four people at Neptune's table seemed to have never heard such beautiful piano music!
Hai Tian, however, didn't care much. She withdrew her gaze from Chu Feiyang and looked at Yun Qianmeng. She smiled lightly and said, "Miss Yun, do you know the song we just heard?"
Yun Qian dreamed of Hai Tian like this, and recited to herself, "There is a beautiful person, whom I never forget upon seeing her. One day without seeing her, I miss her like crazy. The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix across the seas. But the beauty is no longer within the east wall. I use my zither to express my true feelings. When will I see Xu Xi again, to comfort my wandering heart? I wish to be worthy of her words, and walk hand in hand with her. Not being able to fly with her is my downfall." The princess plays the zither beautifully, and this piece, 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix,' is truly moving and moving, but it is also quite audacious! I greatly admire the princess's courage!"
Before everyone could recover from Hai Tian's unique piano music, they were shocked by Yun Qianmeng's eloquent poetry!
No one understood why this seldom-seen eldest daughter of the prime minister's family was actually such a hidden master. Not only did she let people know her literary talent without leaving any trace, but she was also implying that Hai Tian was not a virtuous woman and was already eager to express her love to a man even though she was not married yet!
For a moment, the impressions of Yun Qianmeng and Hai Tian on everyone were suddenly reversed. Yun Qianmeng gradually became associated with a talented woman, while Hai Tian's virtues gradually became lacking!
