Consort Qin and Consort Jia were old acquaintances in Nanli. Later, when Consort Jia entered Prince Su's mansion, Consort Qin once regarded Consort Jia as a rival in love.
At that time, Shang Xiye neglected Consort Jia in Prince Su's mansion, but took her to the border and kept her by his side.
Later, she was tricked into entering the palace by Shang Xiche, so the two never had a chance to face each other directly.
At this moment, Consort Qin was on the dragon boat. Seeing Consort Jia's wretched state, she looked down on Consort Jia even more. Just as she turned to leave, a plan formed in her mind. She leaned down and whispered a few words in Qi Xuan's ear.
Qi Xuan took a dark jade box from Consort Qin, turned around, and disembarked from the boat, following after Consort Jia.
Before long, everyone had boarded the ship.
The dragon boat took the lead, guiding the other flower boats slowly towards Qianmu Island in the center of Qianmu Lake.
During this period, the talented young men and women on each of the boats exchanged poems from afar, or played musical instruments and sang songs, competing in various ways, creating a lively and entertaining scene.
Ji Fengyao looked left and right, everywhere she looked there were boats full of elegant ladies and lively music and dance, one act ending and another beginning. But their Ninth Prince's flower boat, though the most ornately decorated, was also the most deserted. As a result, many boats that were originally near them subconsciously rowed further away, leaving only their boat on the vast lake, looking very lonely and pitiful.
"Consort Jin, why don't you give it a try?" Ji Fengyao could only pin her hopes on her only backup candidate.
Shanyu Heye shook his head calmly: "Heye only wishes to live a quiet life for the rest of his days and does not want to be in the limelight anymore."
This is Consort Jin's wish; we cannot force her to do something against her will.
But if they remain silent like this, it doesn't seem to fit her bandit persona.
"Even if we lose, we can't lose face. It's better to cause some trouble than to keep quiet," Ji Fengyao said with a roguish air, rolling up her sleeves and turning to ask Lin Shuang, "Do we have any musical instruments on our ship?"
Lin Shuang and Bai Lu were also on the boat for the first time, and they shook their heads in confusion.
At this moment, a guard nearby cleverly chimed in, "Your Highness, this is originally a fine pleasure boat, so there are naturally musical instruments available, all in the lower deck."
"Alright, then take me to see it," Ji Fengyao said without any airs.
That guard was an old man who had been with Shang Xiye for many years, fighting alongside him. He was a die-hard fan of the God of War.
At this moment, because of his quick wit in striking up a conversation, he received a faint, approving look from the Ninth Prince. His heart pounded with joy, and he became even more eager to lead the way for Ji Fengyao.
With Consort Jia out of the way, Chanyu Heye felt more at ease getting close to Ji Fengyao, and curiously followed her into the cabin.
The guard opened the cabin door and saw that not only were all kinds of musical instruments neatly arranged inside, but also all kinds of performance costumes were hanging full of them. Moreover, each of these clothes was sexy and revealing, and very beautiful and tempting.
The Chanyu Heye and his servants only glanced at the clothes a few times before blushing and daring not to look any further.
Although Lin Shuang and Bai Lu were curious, they were still quite well-behaved.
Du Ji Fengyao and Xi Que searched around and looked at everything, almost exploring the entire cabin before finally returning to the shelves where the musical instruments were placed.
“Miss, it seems you don’t know any of these,” Xique glanced at the document and began to expose its flaws.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
He gave the magpie a look, letting her figure it out herself.
"Miss, could it be that the fairy in your dream even taught you musical instruments?" Xi Que pondered for a long time before asking.
Ji Fengyao: "...Huh?!"
