Hey, you are reborn too?

Xie Yongwei almost spit out the tea she had just taken. Her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Jiang Yu in disbelief.

It was because of her embarrassing behavior in her previous life that she wanted to avoid the Queen and the Ninth Princess in this life, but Jiang Yu didn't want her to live in peace!

"The daughter of the general's mansion," the queen mother whispered softly, frowning as if she was trying to recall something, "Since the second prince recommended her, then she will play a song for everyone."

Xie Yongwei almost bit her teeth off. She had no choice but to force a smile and stood up to respond.

Xie Yongwei bowed and was about to respond, but was interrupted by a steady voice.

"Grandmother," Jiang Mian had seen Xie Yongwei's slightly red eyes and tears welling up in her eyes when she finished a song in her previous life. How could he let it happen again in this life? "Grandson thinks it's not appropriate to let Miss Xie perform. Let me play a song for everyone."

"What's wrong with that?" The Queen Mother glanced at Jiang Mian with a look of disapproval, a hint of surprise in her eyes, "However, Mian'er, if you want to play a song for everyone, I will grant your request."

The Queen Mother paused and said, "Mian'er, I remember that you played the flute very well. In my opinion, it would be wonderful for you and Miss Xie to play a piece together."

Jiang Mian froze for a moment, his eyes unconsciously swept towards Xie Yongwei, with a hint of apology in his eyes. He thought the Queen Mother would readily agree to his request, but he never thought that the Queen Mother had her own plans.

"Yes, Grandmother." At this point, Jiang Mian looked at Xie Yongwei's face and saw that she was not angry. He thought it was inconvenient to contradict the Queen Mother again, so he agreed, but made a request in a neutral tone, "But my grandson has a request, I hope Grandmother will agree to it."

"Mian'er," the queen mother became more interested, her face became kind again, she rested her right elbow on the armrest, tilted her head slightly, and rested her hand on it, "What do you want? Tell me."

"My grandson requests," Jiang Mian raised his eyes, not afraid of the Queen Mother's sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Give my grandson and Miss Xie a cup of tea to prepare."

"That's right," the Queen Mother's eyelashes moved slightly, making it difficult to see her eyes. She thought for a moment and agreed, "You two have never cooperated before. Okay, Mian'er, you and Miss Xie should prepare well."

"My grandson thanks the imperial grandmother."

After saying this, Jiang Mian and Xie Yongwei walked towards the pavilion on the water, one in front and one behind.

Looking at Xie Yongwei's thin back, Jiang Mian frowned deeply, a trace of heartache emerged in his heart. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

When they reached the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Xie Yongwei stopped and slowly turned in her direction, as if attracted by an invisible force. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and they were both stunned for a moment when they looked at each other. They each noticed a strange look in the other's eyes, as well as an unknown emotion that had gradually emerged.

"You," Facing the girl's eyes as clear as lake water, Jiang Mian was the first to speak in these years, his voice a little dry, "Which song do you want to play?"

"I am," Xie Yongwei was stunned by Jiang Mian's straightforward question. She blinked lightly, took a deep breath, held her breath, and stared into Jiang Mian's eyes, "I am good at "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun". How about you?"

Jiang Mian responded calmly, his brows slowly relaxed, and a gentle smile revealed in his light-colored pupils, making Xie Yongwei unconsciously sink into it.

"I can do anything." Jiang Mian smiled calmly, curled his fingers lightly behind his back, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

Avi, as long as you are here, I can play any song you want.

"You," Xie Yongwei didn't call him "Brother Mian" easily because she hadn't seen him for four years. Xie Yongwei felt that this person who was reborn with her seemed to have many secrets. Logically, she shouldn't have explored it, but she couldn't help but want to ask him a few questions, "Are you doing well?"

Her voice was so light that it floated in the warm spring sunshine and soon disappeared without a trace.

After a long time without any response, Xie Yongwei's gaze, which had already moved away, returned to Jiang Mian again. Didn't he hear it?

"Awei," Jiang Mian lowered his eyes and looked at her straight, his light-colored pupils were full of tides, especially deep, and his eyes were extremely captivating. He swallowed and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. It's just that I miss you a lot. How about you?"

Xie Yongwei didn't expect him to answer so directly. Her cheeks flushed and two red clouds flew up. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "I..."

She has a delicate appearance, and her shy look when she lowers her head, with a fair and rosy face, is something that makes it easy for people to take their eyes off her.

The atmosphere between the two was ambiguous when a rigid voice suddenly interrupted.

"Your Highness, Miss Xie, the Queen Mother has ordered you to begin playing the music immediately."

Jiang Mian and Xie Yongwei returned the gift at the same time.

After the eunuch walked away, Jiang Mian gently approached Xie Yongwei and leaned down.

"Awei, you can think it over before answering. I'm not in a hurry."

Xie Yongwei pursed her lips gently, loosened her grip on the handkerchief, and a warm current surged in her heart. Her ears turned red and she nodded gently.

Xie Yongwei was already sitting on the piano bench, ready to play at any time. She saw Jiang Mian take the flute from his waist and nodded to her slowly and firmly, indicating that she could start.

Xie Yongwei looked down at the zither and admired it in her heart. It was worthy of being a piece from the palace. It was made of fine sandalwood, the body of the zither was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the strings were just the right tightness.

She rolled up her silk sleeves, concentrated her breath and thought deeply, raised her jade hands lightly, and her slender and elegant hands brushed the strings of the zither, playing layers of rippling music. The sound was clear and melodious, coming across the water, like the sound of a mountain spring. The ethereal sound reminded people of the orchid in the empty valley, and people could not help but sink into it.

Jiang Mian was also shocked. When did Awei's piano skills reach such a high level?

Originally, the reason why she stopped the Queen Mother from letting Xie Yongwei perform was because she didn't want her to embarrass herself in front of everyone. Now that she is at this level, she won't "embarrass herself", but the Queen must be very resentful.

There was a flash of coldness in Jiang Mian's eyes. If the Queen really had the courage to attack Awei, then he would let her know what it meant to be worse than death.

Xie Yongwei played the instrument, concentrating on the strings, and was already immersed in the artistic conception of the piano sound. When the piano sound gradually faded, a flute sounded slowly, like a river flowing into the sea, naturally blending into the piano sound.

The people who were listening to the music across the water were all attracted by the heart-stirring music, their eyes were focused on the pavilion in the water, their faces were filled with joy and satisfaction. The ensemble of the piano and the flute cleansed everyone's soul, as if their souls also floated gently with the music, flew to the riverside, and saw the clouds and water swaying and rushing, and the light smoke floating on the river surface.

When the song ended, everyone was silent. Even the fish in the lake seemed to be drunk and didn't want to swim. Only the rustling of the wind and the mottled shadows of the trees danced gently.

"Good!" The Queen Mother was the first to come to her senses. Every wrinkle on her face was filled with smiles. She clapped her hands loudly, "It's really good!"

Everyone then woke up as if from a dream and started praising the Queen Mother.

After Xie Yongwei finished playing, she did not stand up for a long time. She had long since come out of her artistic conception, but waves of fear inevitably surged in her heart.

In her previous life, although she performed on the same stage with the Ninth Princess, she made a fool of herself and made the Ninth Princess Jiang Ying proud, so the Queen did not specifically target her.

This time, she shined brilliantly, and everyone's praises could be heard from far away in the pavilion. It can be said that she crushed the Ninth Princess. Will the Queen swallow this?

Xie Yongwei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with water. In this life, had she done anything wrong? Could she really only act according to other people's wishes?
