Ren Yaoqi once again felt that Xiao Jinglin was being unfair when she complained that Mr. Zou was too rigid and strict.
After thinking for a moment, Ren Yaoqi raised her hand and plucked the strings. A series of deep and rich guqin sounds flowed out from under her fingers, instantly attracting Xiao Jinglin's attention. She couldn't help but listen carefully for a moment, until Ren Yaoqi stopped, then she asked curiously: "This song is very nice, what's the name?"
"The moon is full over the mountains. Princess, do you want to learn?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi's gentle and peaceful smile and nodded: "Well, let's go with this one."
Mr. Zou glanced at Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully, then said thoughtfully, "This poem is indeed suitable for the princess."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and finished playing the song.
She had just seen that Xiao Jinglin's fingers were quite nimble, but her technique was rusty and she always played a few beats faster. The piece she had chosen happened to be a faster tune, but it didn't require much technique, so it was perfect for someone with nimble fingers.
Mr. Zou then began to explain to Xiao Jinglin in detail how to play this song. Fortunately, Xiao Jinglin was willing to listen carefully.
After trying it for a short while, Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Well, it's easier than the previous one." There was also some interest in playing in his eyes.
It wasn't until Xiao Jinglin rubbed her fingers and kneaded her wrists that Mr. Zou said sympathetically, "Let's stop here for today. The princess is making rapid progress. We can continue practicing tomorrow."
Xiao Jinglin nodded and naturally agreed.
After seeing Mr. Zou off, Xiao Jinglin invited Ren Yaoqi to go for a walk outside: "This is your first time here, I'll take you for a walk so you don't get lost when you come to look for me next time."
Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin out of the side hall. When passing the main hall, Ren Yaoqi casually glanced over there. When he saw the two women waiting in the corridor to be summoned by Princess Yanbei, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Jinglin felt a little strange when he saw Ren Yaoqi stop: "What's wrong?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just saw someone I know."
Xiao Jinglin also glanced towards the main hall, and then looked at her maid Hongying.
Hongying stepped forward and whispered, "It must be the wife of some official. There have been quite a few women of officials who have come to pay their respects to the princess lately. The one waiting outside must be of a lower rank. Huh? Has she gone in?"
Nanny Xin, who was beside the princess, came out and led the two women waiting at the door into the main hall.
Many women came to pay their respects to the princess every day, but she didn't summon everyone. Usually she would summon one or two, and the rest would wait outside, waiting for a word or two from the princess.
What Ren Yaoqi just saw was Fang Yacun's wife, Liu, the sister-in-law of Aunt Fang.
Liu had been staying at the Ren family's villa these days, and Ren Yaoqi had someone keep an eye on her. Since arriving in Yunyang City, Liu had been very active, moving around a lot every day. However, Ren Yaoqi had been busy with the Lei and Han families these days, so he had no time to worry about her.
I didn't expect to meet him today.
This Liu was really capable. She actually found a way to find the Yanbei Palace and successfully met the Yanbei Princess.
Aunt Fang's biggest backers are the Fang family and Fang Yacun. From Ren Yaoqi's point of view, Fang Yacun's successful career is not a good thing for her.
Because of thinking about Liu's affairs, Ren Yaoqi was a little absent-minded when he followed Xiao Jinglin around. However, he finally got a general idea of the Yanbei Palace. Xiao Jinglin and other female relatives lived in the west of the palace, while Xiao Jingxi and his family lived in the east. This reminded Ren Yaoqi of the East Palace and the West Palace.
