Chapter 22: Stunning
Xiao Yu was really curious about the woman playing the piano.
It had been three or four days since we last saw each other. If I miss you today, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for a long time again.
He always does things according to his heart. Now that he has made up his mind, he naturally cannot miss the person who is in front of him.
When he saw someone was about to leave, he subconsciously called out to stop him.
The birds in the forest flew away in panic, and the bamboo leaves fell from the branches. The woman's slender figure trembled slightly, and then she turned her head little by little as if frightened.
The woman had a petite figure with a slender and weak waist. Through the gauze, one could vaguely see her snow-white skin.
The pink and green palace maid's dress could not hide her otherworldly feeling. Far from being vulgar, it exuded a bit of agility in her elegance.
Xiao Yu didn't expect that she was really a little palace maid.
His eyebrows raised, and his eyes moved upwards and gradually fell on her face.
The palm-sized face was covered with a veil, hiding her beautiful facial features, including her nose and red lips, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes exposed.
Those were indeed a pair of very beautiful eyes.
There is innocence and tenderness in the black and white eyes, with the corners of the eyes raised. The lively eyes are timid and charming, but also reveal a bit of innocence that is ignorant of the world.
When she saw him calling her, she tilted her head, with curiosity and vigilance in her eyes.
Xiao Yu looked at the pair of eyes, then looked up at the bird perched on the bamboo branch.
I couldn't help it, and a smile appeared in my eyes.
The little girl in front of me has the same movements and expressions as the bird!
Perhaps she noticed that his gaze was too explicit, so the woman frowned slightly and turned her body to avoid his scorching gaze.
The jade-like earlobe gradually turned red.
Zi Su saw it and quickly stretched out her hands to block Shen Fu: "You!"
She looked at the person in front of her bravely, stretched out her hand to protect Shen Fu behind her: “Who are you, don’t look at our girl like that!”
"How dare you." Upon hearing this, Lin An hurried forward and scolded. In the entire palace, who else had the courage to speak to the Emperor like that?
"Do you know who you are looking at..."
"Ahem," Lin An was blocked by Xiao Yu before he could finish his words. He waved his hand to stop Lin An from saying the next words.
The gaze that was originally on Shen Fu also softened a lot: "I am sorry for being rude."
He had just woken up early in the morning, wearing only casual clothes, a dark robe of which one couldn't tell what it was made of. His gentle voice immediately put people off their guard.
Zi Su's vigilance gradually faded, and the hand that was originally raised high was slowly put down. But when he thought of the girl behind him, he still mustered up the courage to stand in front of Shen Fu.
"Are you two palace maids?" Xiao Yu looked at them appraisingly, his gaze passing through Zi Su and falling on Chen Fu behind her.
The gaze that fell on her was gentle and elegant, and if you didn't know better, you would think he was a gentle gentleman.
Only Shen Fu knew that the emperor was not as calm as he appeared.
Thinking of the various methods used against her, Shen Fu's body stiffened slightly.
She reached out and pulled Zisu, then took two steps forward holding the zither, knelt down and saluted His Majesty: "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Although the person in front of him was greeting correctly, his kneeling was obviously stiff.
Although this person was wearing a palace maid's skirt, she was obviously not a palace maid.
But when has there ever been such a beauty in the palace?
"Which palace are you from?" Xiao Yu asked.
The emperor's eyes were full of exploration. Shen Fu's brows were tightly furrowed. She deliberately raised her eyes and looked at His Majesty in panic, then lowered her eyes and replied: "This slave... This slave is from Chang... Changming Palace."
The woman's voice was timid and soft, and even though she was trying to remain calm, she couldn't hide the nervousness and panic in her voice.
"Changming Palace?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows. When did this palace exist in the palace?
Lin An behind him subconsciously stepped forward, and caught a glimpse of the smile in His Majesty's eyes, and swallowed the words in his throat instantly.
"It seems that there is no Changming Palace in the palace." Xiao Yu pointed it out directly.
Chen Fu was just talking nonsense to begin with, so she naturally felt guilty after being exposed. She immediately looked up without even having to pretend the panic in her eyes.
"I..." The voice suddenly became hesitant and vague.
Even through the gauze, one could still see the gradually flushing face: "I... your servant remembered it wrongly."
Holding Qin's hand tightly, Shen Fu lowered her head, her eyes trembling: "This servant is from Hehuan Palace."
Chen Fu hurriedly mentioned the palace, then hugged the zither in her arms tightly and bent her knees in panic: "This servant has no intention of disturbing the noble, this... I will leave now."
After she finished speaking, she pulled up Zi Su, who was standing dazed beside her, and ran quickly into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Xiao Yu stood where he was, watching the woman's voice and shadow completely disappear from his sight.
Lin An stood on one side with his body bent, looking at the Emperor like this, with a smile in his eyes.
It looks like there will be a new lady in the harem soon.
"Your Majesty, please ask me to go to the Hehuan Palace..."
"Idiot!" Xiao Yu turned around and kicked Lin An lightly. Although the action was a bit rough, he didn't use much force. "How can she be from Hehuan Palace?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he strode forward. Lin An pretended to cry out, got up from the ground, and hurriedly followed the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the little palace maid lied to you?" Lin An was really shocked. He had never seen anyone dare to lie to Your Majesty.
"I'm afraid that not only the residence is fake, but even the identity of the palace maid is fake." Xiao Yu strode hurriedly, shook his head and smiled.
Lin An followed behind His Majesty, and seeing His Majesty's expression, he was obviously still confused: "This... Your Majesty, you said that person was not a palace maid?"
That would be lying to His Majesty.
But His Majesty was not angry at all, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"How many palace maids have you seen like her?" Xiao Yu sneered.
Not to mention the stunning figure that couldn't be concealed even by her appearance.
Just look at the Jiaoweiqin in her hand, it's obvious that it was made by a master.
What's more, is there any palace maid in the entire palace who has such piano skills and such an extraordinary temperament?
Thinking of the stunning glimpse just now.
Inevitably, some thoughts arose in his mind. He stroked the jade ring on his fingertips and looked down.
Lin An noticed the Emperor's gaze and immediately understood.
He leaned forward, smiling: "I'll check it out right away."
