After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli quickly reviewed the day. Did he forget anything?

No.

Chu Yanchen pursed his lips, looking even more aggrieved.

"I remember now. It's a birthday gift," Song Mingli said with a smile, "I have prepared something, but it's not that. How can a piece of music be called a gift?"

"Why don't you call it a gift? I want to listen to it. Play it for me." There was a smile in Chu Yanchen's eyes. He looked at her deeply, and there was a hint of cheating in his tone.

He dared to say that because he saw Jingyou was not here, otherwise Jingyou would have laughed his teeth off.

"Do you really want to hear it?" Song Mingli paused and asked.

Chu Yanchen nodded seriously, "How could this be false?"

"It's just that, with such a good piece before it, it won't sound as good when I play it again." Song Mingli felt a little embarrassed.

Chu Yanchen looked at her for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and gently stroked her head. "Is it the music that I care about? What I care about is the person who plays the piano."

"Someone, go and fetch me the ancient zither that I treasure."

Song Mingli originally wanted to play the famous musical instrument, Jiuxiao Huanpei, which he got from Pei Yuqing.

But after hearing Chu Yanchen's instructions, she didn't say anything.

She hadn't played the piano for a long time, and her hands were already very rusty.

It doesn’t matter what kind of piano he uses. What matters is... he wants to listen.

The servant brought the piano quickly.

The piano is covered with a beautiful piece of twill silk with scattered flowers.

Although he had not yet seen the true appearance of the zither, Song Mingli felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Zi Su and others set up the piano stand, and then uncovered the elegant green scattered flower silk, revealing the true appearance of the piano.

Song Mingli only felt a sour and warm tears welling up in his eyes.

"father……"

She stepped forward, gently stroking the strings and caressing the body of the instrument.

The piano was well maintained and even better than when it was in her hands.

It has been two lifetimes since she was separated from this piano.

She remembered that in her previous life, during the seven years when Gu Qingshan was away from home, she would play this harp whenever she felt lonely and disheartened. Through the melodious music, she would miss her father and spend the long nights there.

This is Daddy's piano, and it was also one of the dowries Daddy gave her.

One day, she suddenly couldn't find the piano.

When she was about to turn the Gu family upside down to find the zither, Sun said coldly, "You play so badly, it would be a waste to keep the zither!"

"That's what my father left for me!" Song Mingli clenched his fists, but still observed the hierarchy of being a daughter-in-law.

"You belong to my Gu family. Everything you have belongs to my Gu family! Forget about the zither! When you die, you will be my Gu family's ghosts!" Sun rolled her eyes. "I took the zither and used it! You play so badly, so you better stop playing it in the future!"

……

"Mingli, what's wrong?"

A pair of warm hands gently fell on Song Mingli's shoulders, pulling her out of her painful memories.

Song Mingli took a deep breath and said, "This is my father's zither. How did it end up in the hands of the prince?"

Chu Yanchen's expression was a little hard to describe. Seeing that Song Mingli had been waiting for his answer, he slowly spoke.

"I met him at Hengtong Pawnshop. General Song is my mentor. I've seen him play this zither, so I recognize it."

"I didn't expect his piano would end up in a pawn shop, and it was even pawned dead. Now that I met him, I bought the piano back."

If you pawn it, you will die.

Although Sun was dead, Song Mingli still felt a suffocating pain in his heart.

She was too weak in her previous life and couldn't even keep her father's things.

Song Mingli looked at the piano, took a deep breath, and sat down at the back of the piano stand.

Since it is Daddy's piano, she will play today's song no matter how badly she plays it.

She will no longer be afraid, will no longer escape, and will no longer give in because of inferiority.

She looked up and smiled at Chu Yanchen, "Thank you..."

Thank you, Chu Yanchen, thank you for finding my father's piano.

Thank you also for allowing me to meet my weak self in my previous life unexpectedly.

In her previous life, she had only played this piece of music over and over in her mind.

In this life, she finally had the courage to put it into practice.

The moment when the smooth piano sound slides out from the fingertips.

Not only Chu Yanchen was stunned, but even Song Mingli himself was stunned.

Does she play it... so skillfully?

The music didn't sound like she was playing it, but more like it was flowing out from the strings.

"The osmanthus cat under the osmanthus tree..."

Song Mingli couldn't help but sing along with the music of the piano.

Her voice was not as charming as Xu Chunlan's. Instead, it was light and ethereal, like a spring in a valley, ethereal and clear.

Chu Yanchen stared at her in a daze, as if he was stunned by what he heard.

His eyes were both intoxicated and obsessed.

It turns out that it is true that it is not the wine that makes people drunk, but people themselves.

Just one song is enough to make Prince Jing, who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, drunk.

The servant outside the door was about to report.

Jin Zhong on the side quickly waved his hands, "Shhh..."

Although Jin Zhong was a eunuch, he was the chief eunuch serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He is not only literate, but also well versed in music.

He listened to the piano music coming from the room and was infected by the cheerful tune, and the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily.

If we say that today in Guiyuan, the third young lady of the Xu family was able to amaze everyone with one song, it was not only because of her piano skills and singing voice.

What’s more, there is the little boat, the osmanthus flowers, and the chubby and cute little orange cat, which are so appropriate for the scene.

So, it touches people's heartstrings at once.

At this time, the sound of Princess Jing's piano, in addition to her skilled piano skills, also contained more emotions.

The sound of the piano with emotion is like being infused with the soul.

The indifference on Jin Zhong's face was gradually replaced by sincere admiration.

He stood outside the door, bowed slightly, listening to the piano music and singing coming from the house.

The song is over.

Prince Jing was stunned for a moment before clapping his hands and saying, "It turns out the princess has another trick up her sleeve!"

"I didn't know that my princess is so modest. How can you say that you played the piano badly? Do you want others to live?"

As soon as Chu Yanchen finished speaking, someone outside hurried to report.

"Your Highness and Princess! The Eastern Palace has a reward!"

The servant opened the curtain.

Only then did Chu Yanchen and Song Mingli notice Jin Zhong who had been standing outside the door for a long time.

Jin Zhong had a dazed expression.

Jin Zhong felt deeply that... if Princess Jing had played this song first today, Third Miss Xu would probably have no chance!

She plays the piano better than Miss Xu San!

"Eunuch Jin?"

"Greetings to Prince Jing and Princess Jing. This is the reward from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Princess Jing."

Jin Zhong came to his senses and hurriedly asked the palace servants behind him to come forward with the reward.

The reward turned out to be the top-quality furs that my second brother brought back this time.

Complete fox skin and sable fur with bright color and glossy texture. You can feel the softness of the fur before you even touch it.

The fluffy hair makes people want to bury their faces in it to feel the tenderness of the hair.

"This is the best fur in the palace. It's getting cold, so it's just in time for us." Jin Zhong said with a smile.

Jin Zhong is a man close to the prince, and he is somewhat arrogant when he appears to be outside.

But the piano music just now conquered his arrogance.

When he spoke to Song Mingli, he seemed particularly friendly.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Thank you for your hard work, eunuch." Song Mingli expressed his gratitude.

Zi Su on the side came forward to give a tip.

Chu Yanchen also asked, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly give a reward to my princess?"

Jin Zhong thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Princess Jing is kind, chivalrous, and good-hearted. His Highness said that such women are role models for the inner house and should be rewarded."

Chu Yanchen was stunned when he heard this.

Ok?

His princess is naturally good in every way, but how did the prince know that?

Jin Zhong was seen off politely.

Chu Yanchen tilted his head, his sharp eyes seemed to see through Song Mingli.

"Don't look at it. It's just saving Miss Xu San from Princess Cheng's plan."

"Although Xu San plotted against my second brother, if Xu San is used to deal with Princess Cheng, the sisters will quarrel, and I think Princess Cheng will have a harder time."

Song Mingli smiled slightly, like a cunning little fox.

……

In Prince Cheng's Mansion, Prince Cheng was glaring at Princess Cheng with cold eyes.

"You arranged for her to go boating and play the piano in Guiyuan?" King Cheng suppressed his anger and sneered, "What a great arrangement! The osmanthus tree, the cat, the piano music and the ballads. It's really interesting."

Princess Cheng was panicked, "Your Majesty, please understand, this was not arranged by me!"

King Cheng narrowed his eyes at her and said, "It's not you? Could she have arranged this in Guiyuan?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't you just want her to serve me? Xu Jinshu, I never thought you would be so jealous!"
