Chapter 20
Li Yin paused for a moment after hearing Ji Zeming's words, then said, "Don't worry, I'll leave right away. There's no need to act like you've seen a ghost." After saying that, he saw that the rain outside the pavilion had gradually subsided, so he left.
When Luo Sanrong saw Li Yin leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ji Zeming and smiled.

"Your Highness, what you ordered has been done." Weidao reported.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look." Li Yin put down the book and came to the Music Hall.
The Palace of Music was the place in the palace that was in charge of singing, dancing, and musical instruments. Any large-scale performances in the palace were organized and arranged by the Palace of Music.
Arriving at the Music Hall, Li Yin looked at the dozen or so dancers standing in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
Eunuch Ma asked curiously, "Your Highness, why did you summon these dancers?"
Li Yin did not say anything, but instructed the head of the Music Hall to arrange a professional to choreograph a dance as soon as possible, and told the dozen or so people to choose the best dancer among them to perform a solo dance.
"Luo Sanrong, from today on, you will be responsible for recording all the steps of the choreography. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."
"yes."
Soon, the news that Crown Prince Li Yin had hired a dozen dancers spread like wildfire, and ministers in the court continued to impeach him, but all of these were forcibly suppressed by His Majesty.
"No, the movement is wrong. Are your arms made of wood? Relax, stretch your arms..." Li Yin looked at Qing'er, the girl who was leading the dance, and scolded her in public without caring about the girl's face at all.
Qing'er adjusted her movements, but was still scolded by Li Yin, saying that her facial expression was wrong.
Luo Sanrong was taking notes beside him, holding his forehead and sighing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sharp tongue is unmatched."
Weidao said nothing and nodded silently.
Luo Sanrong couldn't bear to watch this, so he stepped forward to guide Qing'er's movements and told her the key points of the movements.
Soon, under Luo Sanrong's guidance, Qing'er's movements improved greatly, and Li Yin's complexion looked much better.
The sun was setting in the west, and Qing'er rubbed her arms unconsciously. Luo Sanying signaled Li Yin with his eyes. Li Yin looked at the sky and nodded reluctantly, indicating that they had stopped here for today.
When Qing'er was about to retreat, she accidentally tripped and fell into Li Yin's arms. Li Yin reflexively wanted to push her away, but Luo Sanrong gave Li Yin another look.
What I mean is that Miss Qing'er has been so tired from practicing dancing, and now as the "culprit", what's wrong with you encouraging Miss Qing'er?
So Li Yin suppressed his impatience and perfunctorily patted Miss Qing'er who was lying in his arms. Miss Qing'er quickly got up from Li Yin's arms and respectfully took her leave.
The scene of Miss Qing'er falling into Li Yin's arms was told to the Queen word for word by the person sent by the Queen to monitor her secretly.
"Our prince is really sentimental! If the prince takes charge of government affairs, the dancers of Xia An will have a much easier life!" The queen said with a smile.
"Who says it's not?" the personal maid agreed flatteringly.
The palace maid respectfully served tea, but was knocked to the ground by the queen. The palace maid knelt on the ground trembling.
"I've told you countless times, Your Majesty is pregnant with the dragon heir. You must be extremely careful with what you eat and drink. Is this tea really that hot? Can you drink it?"
"I know I'm wrong."
"Okay, go down quickly!" The personal maid came to the rescue.
"Lan'er, over the years, you are still the one I favor the most. However, this kindness should be used where it should be used. Today, just go and tell father that he doesn't need to worry about the prince's affairs. I have my own way to solve it." Ji Zelan fiddled with her armor and said casually.
Lan'er, the personal maid, withdrew. In fact, she knew that the queen trusted her on the one hand because she was indeed cautious in her work, and on the other hand because she was sent by the prime minister.
Late at night, in the inner hall of the East Palace.
There were only two people in the hall. Li Yin and Luo Sanrong were sitting opposite each other. Li Yin was looking through the choreography booklet handed to him by the head of the Music Hall.
"How are you doing with the things I asked you to record?" Li Yin asked.
"It's almost done." Luo Sanying kept moving his pen.
"What are you doing?" Li Yin raised his head and asked.
"We're arranging the procedures for the dancers to go on and off the stage. By the way, are you sure you want to stay for half an incense stick of time after the dance is over?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because at that time, the real performance has just begun."
"A real show?"
"In short, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to take care of the part you are responsible for." Li Yin said impatiently.
"Tsk, I've already finished the part I'm responsible for."
"So what are you doing now?" Li Yin stood up and walked behind Luo Sanrong.
“I…I…”
Li Yin stood up and picked up the paper on Luo Sanrong's desk. "Are you drawing? No, are you drawing the dancer's movements? Have you memorized them all?"
"Of course, I will hardly forget the moves I have seen once." Luo Sanrong said proudly.
Li Yin was secretly surprised when he saw the album of movements drawn by Luo Sanying and the album of dancers provided by the Music Hall, which were exactly the same. However, he did not show it on his face.
Li Yin patted Luo Sanrong on the back of her head, signaling her to keep trying.
Luo Sanrong curled his lips, said nothing, and continued to recall the dancer's movements.
When Li Yin saw Luo Sanrong's expression, he could guess what she was thinking. He did not scold her, but gave her a doting smile in a corner where Luo Sanrong could not see.
Late at night, Luo Sanying stretched and looked at Li Yin. Li Yin was still busy with the envoys' banquet. She was too embarrassed to ask to go back and rest, so she could only find something to do here.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep on the table.
At dawn the next day, Luo Sanrong found herself sleeping on Li Yin's couch. She quickly checked her clothes and saw that they were still neatly arranged. She relaxed, then suddenly thought, "If she slept on Li Yin's bed, then where did Li Yin go?"
He quickly got up and put on his shoes, and was surprised to find that Li Yin had fallen asleep on the table where he had been working last night.
At this time, the morning sunlight shone on Li Yin's nose bridge, and the clear pores were distinct. Luo Sanrong curiously moved closer to take a look, and gently probed with her hand. Her eyes swept over Li Yin's eyebrows, eyelashes, nose bridge, and lips. Luo Sanrong suddenly found that Li Yin was quite good-looking.
Luo Sanrong didn't realize that he was smiling unconsciously.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and Luo Sanying realized that it was time for Eunuch Ma to call Li Yin to get up.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you up? May I come in?" Eunuch Ma asked tentatively outside the hall.
Luo Sanrong wanted to find a place to hide. After all, it was against the rules to let others see her staying in the same room with the prince for a whole night.
Eunuch Ma was still outside the palace asking, "Your Highness, are you up yet? I'm coming in."
Luo Sanrong had not yet found a suitable hiding place and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Your Highness, I'm coming in?"
Just when Eunuch Ma was about to push the door open, Li Yin, who was lying on the table, did not open his eyes but spoke, "Wait a little longer, come back in half an hour."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Luo Sanying, who was looking for a hiding place, froze. She didn't expect that Li Yin was not asleep at all.
Li Yin stretched himself at this moment, looked at Luo Sanrong who was in a daze, and chuckled, "You are such a coward."
"You..." Luo Sanrong was unable to refute.
