A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

Lin Qingyang's pipa music really "shocked" the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor. Unexpectedly, the usually well-behaved and quiet "gentle and weak" Lin Qingyang was actually "hiding her talents". Was it because she couldn't show them or didn't want to show them?

Master Xiang looked at the prince's expression and knew that he must have some affection for Lin Qingyang.

The prince went to the prime minister's residence specially to listen to Lin Qing playing the piano. If he said he had no thoughts, he would be lying.

In the past, the prince often came to the prime minister's residence, but mostly to seek advice from the tutor.

Lin Meir, the daughter of the prime minister, also covets the position of the crown princess. After all, the crown prince is outstanding in appearance, character and talent. He is also the only son of the emperor. He is the future emperor. All the noble ladies in the capital are scrambling to get into the crown prince's mansion.

There is only one prince, so ministers don’t have to worry about standing on the wrong side.

However, the prince’s attitude towards everyone was similar. Although Lin Meir had the upper hand because of her proximity to the crowd, the prince just treated her with courtesy.

But this time, the prince first rewarded Lin Qingyang at the Xiao family, and then ran to the prime minister's residence, mentioned Lin Qingyang implicitly, and praised her generously after listening to the pipa.

The Prime Minister was not surprised by the Prince's behavior. After all, Lin Qingyang looked very much like his deceased daughter. No one in the capital could compare to Lin Qingyang's appearance. The Prince was just an ordinary man.

"Miss Lin is both talented and intelligent." The prince clapped his hands in praise after hearing this.

"Your Highness, I have finished listening to the Pipa. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." After Lin Qingyang finished speaking, he turned around holding the Pipa, walked out of the front yard, and returned to his room.

It was rare to see such a woman who didn't flatter the prince. Most daughters would be "guided" by their families to show their presence in front of the prince, but Lin Qingyang came and went in a hurry, not taking herself seriously at all.

In the following days, the prince came to the prime minister's residence several times, and each time he brought some small gifts to Lin Qingyang. Lin Qingyang acted "flattered" every time, although she had received these gifts in her previous life. Lin Qingyang didn't care about these gifts, but Lin Mei'er cared a lot!

"Girl, the prince has sent you another gift. Today, the people from that courtyard have been making trouble in the kitchen for a long time." When Zi Su was removing Lin Qingyang's makeup, she secretly told her about Lin Meir's movements.

"Don't worry about her. Miss Zhuang hasn't come to see me these days. Sigh!" Lin Qingyang remembered that she hadn't seen Zhuang Weining for six or seven days since they parted at the Xiao family last time. She is almost thirteen years old, so it's time for her to help her leave the house.

"I heard that Duke Qing is back, so Miss Zhuang should be at home with her father!" Zi Su told Lin Qingyang what she heard.

"When did you come back?" Lin Qingyang was annoyed by the prince these days and didn't pay much attention to the banker's affairs.

In the previous life, Zhuang Weining committed suicide because of the matter of the illegitimate son of the Marquis's Mansion. Duke Qing also came back at this time. However, Lin Qingyang had very little communication with Duke Qing in the three years since he returned to Beijing.

Zi Su finished removing Lin Qingyang's makeup and tidied up the jewelry box on the dressing table. As she did so, she answered, "He has only been back for a day or two. I heard that the Duke is not often in the capital. He only comes back for the Queen Mother's Christmas, the Spring Festival, and the Spring Hunt."

"Then this time it might be because of the Spring Hunt!"

Lin Qingyang remembered that the spring hunt was about to begin at this time in his previous life, but the Duke of Qing did not participate in that hunt.

In her previous life, during the spring hunt, Lin Meir ordered someone to tamper with her horse, and she almost got into trouble. It was Xiao Caihe from the Xiao family who saved her. It was also because of this life-saving incident that Lin Qingyang always regarded Xiao Caihe as her savior and treated her as her own sister. In this life, she should not owe her a favor, and should give this favor to someone else.

The maids left, and Lin Qingyang prepared to go to bed. Lying on the bed, she was planning things about the spring hunt. She should ask her men to make some preparations. For some people, the fruits of their own labor must eventually be tasted by themselves!

On March 12, Zhuang Weining came to see Lin Qingyang again.

"I have said long ago that I would invite you to my house. It is better to do it today than to wait for another day. Come to my house today, and I want to ask you some music theory knowledge!" Zhuang Weining always had a very good reason to come to Lin Qingyang.

The Prime Minister's Residence and the Duke of Qing's Residence were only half a street apart, and they arrived there in a short while.

After entering the Duke's Mansion, Zhuang Weining took Lin Qingyang to the main courtyard. After walking a few steps, they heard a voice: "Little girl, didn't you just go out? Why are you back again!" Lin Qingyang looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elder who was about forty or fifty years old. Judging from his clothes, she should be able to guess who he is. After all, this person's eyebrows and eyes are similar to Zhuang Weining.

"Lin Qingyang greets the Duke." Lin Qingyang hurriedly saluted.

"This must be Prime Minister Lin's granddaughter, right? No need to be so polite. There aren't so many rules in my house." The Duke said, all the while looking at the daughter of an old friend in front of him.

The moment Lin Qingyang looked up, he saw the same "surprise" in the Duke's eyes as the Emperor's.

"You...you look so much like your mother." The Duke came back to his senses and said softly to Lin Qingyang.

"Mother mentioned the Duke, saying that he was one of her good friends when she was young, and that he was the kindest person." Lin Qingyang was telling the truth. Her mother once said that if she encountered any problem in the capital, she could go to Duke Qing. However, in her previous life, she thought she could rely on the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Crown Prince, so she did not look for Duke Qing. In this life, Zhuang Weining appeared first, and she had to hold on to Duke Qing tightly, perhaps he could help her when necessary.

"Father, I'll take Qing Yang down first and let her stay at our house today."

Duke Qing nodded, indicating that they could leave, and Zhuang Weining took Lin Qingyang to his own yard.

The mansion of Duke Qing is filled with plain and simple decorations. It is not luxurious, but practical.

"I haven't left the house since we last met. I'm going to go hunting in a few days, and my brother asked me to practice archery. My arms have been sore these days." Zhuang Weining tapped his shoulder and asked, "Can you shoot arrows?"

Lin Qingyang learned no less in the countryside than the girls in Beijing. Except for not knowing kung fu, she learned a little bit of everything, but she was not proficient in any of it. This was how she evaluated herself.

"Yes, but my shooting is not good." Lin Qingyang told the truth.

Zhuang Weining placed his head on Lin Qingyang's shoulder affectionately, "Tell me if there is anything else you don't know."
