Kunshan Jade Die

Chen Changmo, with his beautiful eyebrows and eyes, dressed in white, graceful as a person in a painting, stood out among the musicians in the room, and it was hard not to focus on him.

She quietly walked between Chai Jing and Chen Changmo, blocking Chen Changmo with her body.

Chai Jing cleared her throat and was about to speak, but when she saw Luo Jin's action, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She held back her laughter with difficulty, coughed twice, and said, "Today is my first day in office. I heard that you are all masters among musicians. In fact, I don't know much about music theory. You can play your best songs for me, so that I can have a preliminary understanding. The Queen Mother's birthday is next month, and I will select five musicians from you to play music. Those who are selected will be rewarded."

Several musicians looked at Chen Changmo in unison, thinking that he must be the first to open the show. His piano skills are superb and he is the best in the Yu Music House. He sat in the most conspicuous first seat in the west row, and usually started from here.

Without waiting for Chai Jing's instructions, Luo Jin quickly pointed to the first female pipa musician in the east row, "Start with you, play in order!"

"Yes!"

The pipa musician held her pipa and played the song.

Luo Jin couldn't tell good from bad, she just thought it sounded nice. When the female pipa player finished playing, she clapped her hands immediately, "Good! Nice! Next!"

Next was a male musician who played the flute. He picked up the flute and started playing.

"Not bad, next!"

After half an hour, all the musicians in the east row played their instruments, and it was finally the turn of the musicians in the west row.

Chen Changmo sat in the first seat in the west row. He straightened the instrument in his hand and waited for Luo Jin's instructions to start playing.

Luo Jin smiled slightly and pointed to the last person in the west row, "Here... from the back to the front, the sister in red, it's your turn!"

The female musician in red played the qin. She was stunned for a moment when she heard the words and glanced at Chen Changmo's position. She didn't start her performance until Luo Jin repeated it again.

Another half-hour performance, Luo Jin secretly glanced at Chen Changmo a few times, and saw that he looked a little anxious, but he pretended to be calm and kept smiling. Unfortunately, Chai Jing's line of sight was blocked and she couldn't see his smile at all.

The second performance in the west row ended, and Chen Changmo was the only one who didn't play. He put his hands on the strings again.

Luo Jin suddenly ran towards Chai Jing and grinned, "I'm hungry... Is the princess hungry?"

Chai Jing suppressed her laughter and nodded, "I am indeed hungry."

Luo Jin blinked, "Really? The princess is hungry too? I heard that the Second Prince has prepared a lot of delicious food in Changfeng Garden. Let's go and eat, okay? Let's get off work?"

Chai Jing smiled and said, "Okay, get off work! Everyone has worked hard today, go back and rest early!"

Chen Changmo's lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth. He glanced at Ruan Qin, the female musician playing the pipa opposite him, and winked.

Ruan Qin stood up and said, "Your Highness, Musician Chen hasn't played yet! Should we wait until he finishes playing before..."

Luo Jin raised his eyebrows, "Call me 'Sir', not 'Your Highness', do you understand? Our princess's current identity is the music master, so she should be called 'Sir'."

Ruan Qin said, "Yes..."

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Okay, you can go down."

Ruan Qin was stunned, but saw that Luo Jin had already helped Chai Jing out the door.

She said helplessly: "Sir, the princess is in a hurry to eat, maybe she won't come to listen to the piano. It's all because of that deputy envoy, she has been making trouble..."

Chen Changmo frowned and said: "Let's leave it at that for now, the princess will come again tomorrow, so there is no need to rush."

​​"But I think... that deputy envoy is deliberately squeezing you, sir. But she is the deputy envoy, and we can't do anything about her."

"Think too much, maybe... she is really just hungry."

...

Chai Heng's new house was renamed Changfeng Garden, and its scale was ridiculous. Luo Jin estimated that it was larger than the campus when she was in college. The artificial lake at the entrance alone must be several hundred square meters, and there are black and white swans swimming in the lake, leisurely and contented.

Chai Jing saw Luo Jin staring at the swan for a long time and joked, "Want to eat swan meat?"

Luo Jin laughed and said, "You're calling me a toad, right?"

Chai Heng hesitated and said, "If you want to eat... I'll have someone cook it for you? How do you want to eat it? Steamed or braised?"

Luo Jin waved his hand quickly, "That's not necessary."

Chai Heng took them to the back garden for a visit.

The scale of this back garden shocked Luo Jin again. It was estimated to be at least as big as six football fields. The back garden was well planned. There was a separate area for planting flowers, a place for planting various fruit trees, and a large bamboo forest and willow forest.

There were many animals in the back garden. As soon as Luo Jin entered, she saw a peacock spreading its tail on the roadside and two monkeys lying on a fruit tree nearby, fighting for an apple. It was as if she had come to a zoo.

She walked inside and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Ah, it's Gungun!"

"Be careful, that's a ferrum panda, it's very fierce!" Chai Heng stepped forward and stood in front of Luo Jin, "You'll die if you're bitten by it!"

Chai Jing frowned, "Why do you keep such a fierce beast?"

Chai Heng said, "It eats bamboo, and usually doesn't bite people. Just don't get close and you'll be fine."

Luo Jin didn't dare to step forward, and just watched the panda eating bamboo leisurely from a distance. She once dreamed of raising a panda, but it was just a thought. She didn't expect that someone would actually raise one here.

Does the panda have such a fierce name here? Is it considered a beast?

Most of the animals here are semi-free-range, and they are basically left alone in the forest. There are enough trees and they will find food by themselves. Because they are all vegetarian animals, they will not hunt each other, but they will fight occasionally.

"Okay, let's have dinner first, it's ready." Chai Heng said.

The kitchen in Changfeng Garden is also very large, but it is not fully utilized. Chai Heng only hired two chefs to cook, which is enough. In fact, most of the rooms in the garden were empty. Chai Heng had only a dozen servants in his house, and with him as his master, they could not use up such a large house.

The mansion of this corrupt official was originally used to keep many beauties and servants, as many as a hundred people. When it was Chai Heng's turn to live there, it was inevitable that many rooms were empty.

When the meal was served, Luo Jin had no intention of eating with the Chai brothers and sisters. She was now a court lady, but court ladies were also subjects, and were not qualified to eat at the same table with princes and princesses.

But Chai Jing forced her down on the chair and threatened, "Don't move! Otherwise, your wages will be deducted!"

Luo Jin immediately became obedient, "No move, absolutely no move!"

Just as they were about to eat, Chai Heng's men came to report, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

Luo Jin looked at Chai Jing in embarrassment, "I'm just moving a little? Can I not deduct your wages?"

Chai Jing laughed, "Alright, move, you can't be disrespectful to the Crown Prince."

Chai Qi walked into the dining room while speaking, and the three of them stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite... Second brother, I heard that your garden is quite big, I was wondering if you could help me raise some pets?" Chai Qi said with a smile, "My house is not as big as yours, I don't have the space to raise any."

"Of course, my back garden is very big!"

"Then... bring them up!" Chai Qi waved his hand.

Then several people pushed in two cars from outside, each with a large iron cage.

Chai Heng's eyes went dark when he saw the things in the iron cages, "Black... bears?"

Chai Qi nodded and said, "They are very well behaved, how about you? Help me raise them?"

Chai Heng shook his head quickly, "I can't, I have a lot of animals in my back garden, don't let these two eat them all."

"Eat them if you want." Chai Qi didn't care at all.

"No, it's too precious and can't be eaten! If you want to raise it, you have to keep it in a cage and buy some meat every day to feed it."

"Forget it." Chai Qi was a little disappointed and waved his hand to let his men take the black bear back.

Luo Jin didn't dare to say anything and silently stepped back a few steps.

Who would keep a black bear as a pet? And how well behaved? This thing can blow a person's head off with a slap, okay?

With the prince around, she felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for her to dine with the Chai brothers and sisters so presumptuously. Chai Jing was indeed very close to her, and Chai Heng was also easy-going, but Chai Qi was the prince after all. Luo Jin was unsure of his temper and didn't want to show any presumption in front of him.

She bowed and said, "I feel a little unwell. I will take my leave first."

Chai Jing understood her thoughts and nodded, "Go down."

Luo Jin left the dining room and went out to the yard.

She hadn't eaten yet and was a little hungry. She definitely couldn't go to the dining room, so she went to the kitchen to take some food back. She

didn't meet anyone along the way. After all, the garden was big and there were few people. It was already dark and there were no lights on the road. Luo Jin didn't have a lantern and could only grope her way forward in the dim moonlight.

Suddenly, she noticed a small figure in front of her, walking stealthily and looking back. The figure looked only about one meter tall, like a child.

Luo Jin wondered that Chai Heng hadn't married yet and didn't have any children... Was this brought in by a servant? But Chai Heng was still a prince after all. Even if he had a good temper, he would not let the servants' children wander around the prince's mansion, right?

She felt uneasy and followed the child carefully, wanting to see where he was going.

After walking for a while, the child quietly entered a courtyard gate at the back. Just then, two maids came out, and the child hid beside them.

A maid said, "Everything is packed. I'll go find Deputy Envoy Luo and tell her that she and the princess will stay in this courtyard tonight."

Another maid said, "She should be in the dining room, right? She is so lucky. The princess treats her so well. It is rare for a palace maid who is born in a commoner family to be treated as a sister by the princess. You go find her, and I'll get some candles."

"Get more. I wonder how many candles the princess likes. If she likes it brighter, she can get more than ten candles a night!" After

the two maids left the door, the child appeared from the dark and quietly entered the courtyard.

Luo Jin followed all the way and saw the child enter the inner hall, take out a bag of things from her arms, open the teapot and pour it in carefully.

She widened her eyes and covered her mouth.

He actually put drugs in the princess' tea! Is this something a child can do?

After the child took the drugs, he returned the same way. When he walked into the courtyard, under the light of the courtyard, Luo Jin could see his face clearly.

That was not the face of a child! Just looking at this face, this person must be at least in his twenties, not a child at all!

Luo Jin immediately thought of someone.
