Chapter 298 Pipa Ballad 9
She also seems to know that what she has done recently has gone too far. After all, she can't say that she is reborn. She always tells the prince to be careful, but there is no evidence, which is really unconvincing.

Fortunately, she was in charge of a part of the White Lotus Sect under the prince, so she simply decided to look for evidence by herself.

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of June. Because it was Prince Ping's birthday, Qing'er went to cook a bowl of longevity noodles early in the morning.

She specially made the soup base with chicken broth that has been simmered all night, and the noodles she kneaded are also chewy and smooth.

A long piece of noodles just took up half of the bowl, poured chicken soup and other condiments, and she happily took the tray to find Lian Ping.

There was a dedicated cook in the mansion, but everyone knew that Miss Qing'er was close to their prince, so they simply gave up the kitchen to Qing'er.

Unfortunately, when she arrived, several subordinate officials happened to come to the mansion, some of them were the real subordinates of King Ping secretly, and some were colleagues who had worked with King Ping recently in the Ministry of Rites.

I don't know who spread the news that today is King Ping's birthday, so these people came here together, planning to invite King Ping to go out to celebrate.

However, Prince Ping did not like the excitement. He declined the No. [-] restaurant and the No. [-] music studio. He appeared gentle on the surface, but in fact he had a firm attitude.

These officials had nothing to do, and were about to leave angrily, when Qing'er came over with their faces.

These officials have been in the officialdom for many years, and they can see at a glance that the prince is very fond of the girl who looks like a maid, and everyone who was planning to leave suddenly feels hopeful.

"My lord..." Seeing so many people suddenly, Qing'er was still a little scared, and she was not as lively as usual, "I... Is it not the right time for my servant to come?"

She took a step back slightly, Lian Ping saw the tray in her hand at a glance, and beckoned directly, "What are you carrying?"

"It's nothing." Her little head also shrank back.

"Bring it in." The voice was calm but full of doubts, Qing'er moved his feet, but still took it in bravely.

"Mian?" His voice was slightly surprised.

"Longevity noodles," she couldn't help correcting.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, but because there were still people there, he didn't show it. He glanced at the other people who were still there, and his eyes clearly meant chasing guests.

However, there were still some officials who were bolder. They stared at him and finished their invitation, "The weather is good at this time. Why don't you take this girl with you to go boating on the lake? I think it will be a lot of fun."

When she heard about the lake tour, Qing'er's eyes shone at first. Lian Ping saw her very interested look and finally nodded.

"Then it will be this afternoon."

A group of officials finally achieved their goal, no matter if they were sincere or not, they were all relieved to leave Prince Ping's mansion at this time.

Qing'er, who stayed behind, watched Lian Ping eagerly after eating up a bowl of chicken soup longevity noodles.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with a veil and said, "That's right, I can do it often in the future."

She couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Longevity noodles are only eaten on birthdays."

He smiled and was in a good mood, "Then eat this every birthday."

For some reason, she was a little burned by his smiling face, and she still didn't take out the purse she was planning to have in her sleeve.

In the afternoon, Qing'er picked up a box of tea specially prepared in the kitchen and happily followed Lian Ping into the carriage.

The horse's hooves clattered, the wheels rolled, and they arrived at the river in a short time. This is a river that surrounds the capital, named Bibo.

Both sides of the river are covered with various restaurants and teahouses. Occasionally, there are also flower houses interspersed among them. Some brothel girls are waving to the river from the upper floors.

And there are many painting boats moored by the river, and there are already many boats floating in the center of the river.

The few officials had been waiting here long ago, and they all changed into their regular uniforms, leading King Ping, Qing'er and other accompanying guards to board the ship together.

Taking care of the presence of the girl, they deliberately divided the boat into two parts, separated by a curtain. Qing'er was led to the back of the boat by two maids, while King Ping and the officials made tea at the bow.

The boat moved slowly, floating leisurely in the water, Qing'er looked around inside the boat, and ate the pastry she brought boredly.

Suddenly hearing music from the boat beside her, she suddenly found something to do, and directed the maid to go to the front and ask if she wanted to listen to the music.

After receiving King Ping's consent, she took out the pipa on board and adjusted it before starting to play.

She just played casually, playing whatever sheet music came to her mind, and lost her mind unconsciously.

The fingers automatically strummed according to the inherent melody, getting faster and faster, and the sound of the music directly covered the sounds of several boat boats around.

The nearby ships couldn't help but move closer to Prince Ping's ship.

"What song is this? It has the momentum to make my blood surge."

"Miss Yiyi, what do you think of the music?"

"I'm ashamed to be a slave."

"Lean over, lean over, and see which famous artist played it."

The area in the middle of the river was lively, and King Ping couldn't help frowning when he heard the music. He didn't teach her this song.

It wasn't until the end of the song that Qing'er came back to his senses, and the two maids beside him couldn't help but praise, "Young lady is good at playing the piano!"

However, there is already a boat approaching from the bow, "May I ask if the sound of the zither just came from here?"

"No." Lian Ping responded directly, and those officials who originally planned to open their mouths were stuck in their throats.

For the first time, I saw their prince's ability to open his eyes and tell lies.

And the people outside obviously didn't believe it, "How is it possible? My hearing is not bad. Hey, brother, which flower house are you looking for?"

King Ping's face darkened immediately, but it was covered by a mask, so others couldn't see it, but the officials sitting next to King Ping directly felt the sense of oppression coming from him.

An official stood up quickly and said, "If you say no, it's no. Why don't you leave now!"

"Hey, do you know who I am, my lord? If you dare to let me go away, I will definitely watch it today."

The rich young man who was so arrogant just stepped on the two bows of the boat and was about to step over, but was stopped by several guards standing on the bow.

Other boaters also came closer, but they did not move, as if they were watching a show.

Those officials were also very embarrassed. They finally invited the prince to come out, but something like this happened.

On the other side of the bow, they were still pushing and shoving each other, one of them didn't pay attention, and with a "plop", the rich man fell into the water.

Now the people on the rich man's boat immediately panicked, and a group of people shouted, "Come quickly, Mr. Xiao has fallen into the water!"

There were also servants who jumped into the river to save people, making a mess.

"Young Master Xiao?" an official muttered.

"But the only seedling of Xiao Shang's calligrapher?"
