Taiping Lake is only half an hour away from the imperial city. It is usually guarded by the imperial guards, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it.
Spring has arrived, and tender grass has begun to sprout along the shores of Taiping Lake. Occasionally, a few small flowers that have withstood the chill of early spring can be seen, adding a touch of spring to the lakeside.
The palace staff had already set up many temporary tents for the nobles to rest in, and piled up firewood. They were just waiting for it to get dark so that they could light the bonfires.
Xiao Yanchu walked up to Madam Su, who was taking a walk by the lake, and said, "Greetings, Madam Su."
When Madam Su saw Xiao Yanchu, she knew he had come to see Xiao Jin. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities. Mu Yao, come with me for a walk over there."
After Madam Su and Su Muyao had gone some distance, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin took a walk by the lake, with Hu Qing and Yanluo following not far behind.
"Ah Jin is truly a man of few words, but when he speaks, he amazes everyone. I underestimated him. I wonder what else Ah Jin knows that I don't know about him," Xiao Yanchu teased.
Xiao Yanchu was initially surprised by Su Ruojin's performance of "Anqu" today, but he quickly calmed down. His Ajin could do anything very well.
At this moment, Xiao Yanchu had long forgotten that the tangled mess hanging at his waist was also made by Su Ruojin.
Hearing Xiao Yanchu's praise, Su Ruojin rarely showed a hint of girlish pride, "There's a lot you don't know."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yanchu couldn't help but smile. "Then I'll look forward to what surprises Ajin has in store. I wonder if I'll have the honor of having Ajin play a piece for me alone."
Upon hearing this, the smug look on Su Ruojin's face vanished instantly, replaced by embarrassment.
"Well, it's not that I don't want to play for you, it's just that... this is the only piece I can play." Su Ruojin said somewhat embarrassedly.
She was incredibly busy when she was a child, ever since she met her four masters.
The master master made her study various difficult diseases, poison making and antidote, while the second master made her learn mechanisms, formations, light body skills and martial arts.
Her third master made her learn all kinds of dances and needlework, while her fourth master taught her everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting, plus Grandpa Xiao who forced her to practice calligraphy every day.
Su Ruojin wished she could turn one person into ten to use.
Fortunately, she learns things quickly. She learns what interests her and puts off what doesn't, or just messes around with things until her teachers give up, like with embroidery.
Practicing the piano was painful for her, and she originally wanted to put it off.
But he couldn't bear to see his fourth master sitting on the ground every day, holding his zither and crying, lamenting that his musical skills had no successor. So he reluctantly agreed to learn a piece.
She originally wanted to pick a piece of music that a three-year-old child would learn and then forget about it.
Unexpectedly, when her fourth master heard that she only wanted to learn one piece, he immediately gave her his masterpiece "Anqu" to practice, promising that she only needed to master this one piece.
Su Ruojin had no choice but to grit her teeth and practice. After her fourth master finally nodded in satisfaction, she never touched the zither again until today.
In fact, Su Ruojin was not very clear about the status of "Anqu" in the qin world. She just felt that her fourth master was writing such a long piece for no reason, and there were all kinds of fingering changes in the middle, which was very annoying.
Fortunately, she had been practicing acupuncture since childhood. In a sense, the two have something in common, both requiring flexible and strong fingers to control subtle changes in force, so she didn't find it difficult to practice.
When Xiao Yanchu heard that Su Ruojin only knew this one song, and saw her somewhat embarrassed expression, he was first taken aback, and then let out a soft laugh.
His Ah Jin is really quite interesting.
If the circumstances had allowed, he would have loved to hold her tightly in his arms.
No rush. He has plenty of time to explore everything about Ah Jin for the rest of his life.
Xiao Yanchu suddenly felt that life was too short, only a few decades, not enough.
Xiao Yanchu reached out and gently grasped Su Ruojin's hand. "It's alright. I'll play for Ajin from now on."
