When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Did Qin Liexing appear here to monitor her actions, or did he have other plans?

Since their eyes had already met, if they avoided each other, it would be a bit obvious. Xu Xinyue pretended to agree and nodded to Qin Liexing.

Continue slowly down the spiral staircase.

At the same time, my mind was working rapidly.

If she wanted to be monitored, Qin Liexing thought it would be more convenient since she had "Ming Wu" by her side.

If it is not surveillance, then it means that there is most likely another purpose.

If it wasn't her, the only person who was worthy of him coming here in person today would be one person - Xu Xinyue turned her gaze to look at Yu Qianyue who was one step ahead of her.

She never thought that Qin Liexing had kept something back from her and had not fully told her the complete plan.

Today's boat trip across Qushui is bound to be turbulent.

Xu Xinyue couldn't help but sigh softly without even noticing it.

In just a moment, it was as small as dust and as light as floating dust.

But behind him, Xuan San said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am here, don't worry."

Xu Xinyue knew that he meant to comfort her, so she smiled and did not respond, then got into the carriage with Yu Qianyue.

It takes about quarter of an hour to get to Qushui from here. Xu Xinyue thought that maybe she could warn Yu Qianyue in advance.

However, Qin Liexing did not reveal to Xu Xinyue what his plan was for the day, leaving her at a loss as to how to bring it up.

The person sitting quietly and gracefully opposite her noticed the gaze that had been falling on her. It was gentle and soft, but it didn't make her feel uncomfortable. However, she couldn't help but ask, "Princess Rong, why are you looking at me like this?"

Xu Xinyue took the opportunity to speak up, smiling sweetly, and said, "Since the day of the banquet, I have noticed that Miss Yu is naturally beautiful, elegant and serene. I couldn't take my eyes off her."

"I have this opportunity today, so I naturally can't let it go."

Xu Xinyue seemed to sigh: "At that time, I was thinking, who will end up marrying such a wonderful person, and which young man in Kyoto will be lucky enough to marry her."

The words were brisk, with a hint of teasing. Yu Qianyue was thin-skinned, and in just a moment, her rosy cheeks turned red as if she had drunk alcohol.

Yu Qianyue lowered her eyes shyly and whispered, "Princess Rong, you are too kind. It is not as good as you said."

Xu Xinyue smiled and said, "Although I am married, I am not much older than Miss Yu. Today we are meeting friends through playing the zither, so we have the same interests. You don't have to call me Princess Rong."

"I am a few years older than you, why don't you just call me Sister Xu?"

Yu Qianyue didn't expect Xu Xinyue to be so approachable. The smile on her lips became more relaxed and sincere. She didn't refuse and replied, "Yes, Sister Xu."

Since they had already established a closer relationship, Xu Xinyue asked further, as if jokingly: "Sister Yu was taught by Grand Tutor Yu. With such outstanding talent, she must have thousands of admirers. Does she have a crush on someone?"

Yu Qianyue said frankly: "My father taught me strictly. I was secluded from school, studying, painting and playing music since I was young. He rarely allowed me to interact with the outside world."

She raised her face and smiled innocently: "If it weren't for Sister Xu inviting me today, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have allowed me to come out."

Xu Xinyue's smile froze for a moment, and she asked in surprise, "Master Yu, did you allow you to leave the palace only because you knew it was me?"

Yu Qianyue said frankly: "Father once said that at the birthday banquet that day, he saw that Princess Rong had a kind heart, was not afraid of worldly power, was gentle but not weak, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she should be a role model for women."

"Father is very good at judging people. Since he said so, I believe he will not be wrong."

"When I heard that the one who sent the invitation was Princess Rong, I accepted it without hesitation."

There was an almost intimate friendliness in Yu Qianyue's eyes, her pupils were round, and she looked at Xu Xinyue coquettishly, making Xu Xinyue couldn't help but think of her little orange cat slave, who seemed to have such a look when he looked at her.

Pure, unconditional trust.

Xu Xinyue slowly clenched her hands in her sleeves. She had never had any contact with Master Yu, and had never even met him, but he trusted her so much.

If, she was really taken away by Hongyu, based on this conclusion, I am afraid that the meeting with Yu Qianyue today is really to let "her" succeed.

Xu Xianyue said softly, "Thanks to Master Yu for his kindness."

Xu Xinyue said half seriously and half jokingly: "I will definitely consider the surrounding bees and butterflies for Sister Yu and will not let Sister Yu be easily seduced by some young master."

Yu Qianyue's cheeks flushed even more, and she embarrassedly covered her face with her zither: "Sister Xu is always making fun of me."

Xu Xinyue straightened her face and stopped joking: "I'm not joking. The reason why Master Yu rarely lets Sister Yu contact the outside world is not just because people outside are complicated."

She suddenly cooled her voice and looked at Yu Qianyue seriously:

"It is well known that your Grand Tutor Yu loves you very much. Most of your requests are granted. Therefore, if I can control you, I may have a chance to blackmail Grand Tutor Yu."

The unexpected turn of events left Yu Qianyue stunned.

She listened to Xu Xinyue in bewilderment as she continued, "I know I shouldn't say this, but Madam Yu will tell you in the near future."

Xu Xinyue placed her palm on the back of Yu Qianyue's hand and said:

"There are many evil spirits in human skin in this world. Some people may look harmless and upright on the surface, but they are sinister and calculating inside. I am afraid that even ten of you and I would not be able to resist them. Don't be easily deceived by sweet words and give your heart."

As soon as the words came out, even Xu Xinyue herself felt very familiar with them.

She seemed to have said this to someone before, but that person didn't take it to heart.

The Yu family has only one branch, and Yu Qianyue is the only daughter. Everyone in the house loves her dearly.

He was loved by his parents and brothers, and had never seen any internal strife in the family, let alone the dangers from the outside world.

The Yu family did their best to give her the best.

Thanks to Master Yu's reputation, even at banquets, young ladies from Bepu would take the initiative to talk to him and make friends with him. It can be said that Yu Qianyue was born just like her name - loved by everyone and a jewel in the palm of her hand.

Xu Xinyue thought about it and realized that even if her plan failed, Qin Liexing might not give up easily.

There must be other ways to attract such a pure and reclusive Yu Qianyue to fall in love with him.

If one wants to completely put an end to Qin Liexing's involvement with Grand Tutor Yu, one should not start with Prince Qi. The most important person is Yu Qianyue.

Even though she stopped it once today, she won't be able to stop it a thousand times in the future.

A pile of feathers can sink a boat, and a group of light things can break an axle.

As time goes by, how can Yu Qianyue be on guard?

Although Yu Qianyue didn't think there was anything wrong with this, she said, "Sister Xu, do you mean that I should stop interacting with all men?"

Xu Xinyue felt relieved to see that she listened to him.

Perhaps there is still a chance to eliminate it.

She added:

"No, there is nothing wrong with seeking true love. It is also not in vain to forget about eating and drinking and generalize."

"However, Sister Yu needs to figure out whether this person is here for you or for your father's power in the court."

"I have a way here. If you meet someone you like, you may be able to find out whether this person has other intentions towards you."

……

The carriage stopped by the Qushui River.

Just looking out from the bank of the winding river, the sky after the rain is as clear and cool as blue glass. The sky, clouds, mountains and water are all crystal clear.

The thin ice on the lake surface had almost melted, reflecting the bright and dazzling sunlight.

The stars are twinkling brightly, which is quite a sight.

Xu Xinyue jumped off the carriage and took a breath of the fresh, slightly cool lake breeze. The refreshing feeling flowed from her lips and teeth to every part of her body.

He used his hands to build a shed, looked into the distance, and said casually, "The weather is quite good today."

A warm velvet cloak was handed to him. Xu Xinyue looked up and saw that it was "Xuan San".

"Xuan San, it's late winter, we don't need this. It's not very convenient to move around."

A low, hoarse male voice came from above: "Although it is late winter, the lakeside is still very cold, so Princess should be careful."

She raised her hand and pointed at the sun, smiling and said, "It's really okay, look at the sunshine today..."

"If King Rong knew, he would certainly do the same as me."

Xu Xianyue's finger pointing to the sky slowly curled back into her palm. She swallowed her anger, gnashed her teeth, and smiled at "Xuan San", emphasizing once again:

"Xuan San, I am your master."

Why does he always use Qin Yuechuan to "pressure" her?

He looked down at her, showing no intention of giving in, and said stubbornly, "I am only telling the truth."

As he spoke, he moved the thing in his hand closer to her, as if he would not let her go if she did not take it.

Xu Xinyue nodded in resignation, took the cloak, and replied, "Okay."

Holding Yu Qianyue's hand, he walked towards the boat that had been booked long ago, muttering: "It's better not to promote him to commander, and don't increase his monthly salary!"

Yu Qianyue hugged the zither and pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Sister Xu's escort is really interesting."

It is common for masters to "control" their subordinates, but it is rare for subordinates to "control" their masters.

Xu Xinyue smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Sister Yu."

The two of them boarded the pleasure boat. Perhaps as instructed by the person who had made the reservation, there were carved tables, fragrant tea and fruits, even the snacks neatly placed on the plates were warm, and there was also a table specifically for placing a musical instrument.

Yu Qianyue was in great spirits and put the piano on the table. She seemed extremely eager to learn the piano music.

"Sister Yu, this place is spacious and free of noise, it's a perfect place to play the piano. Can you teach me that song now?"

Seeing that she was eager to learn, Xu Xinyue couldn't bear to refuse her, so she lifted her skirt, and the two girls sat together, discussing the music score and fingering in low voices.

Yu Qianyue was indeed gifted in playing the qin. Professor Xu Xianyue only taught her many fingering techniques once, and she was able to replicate them exactly the second time.

Xu Xinyue couldn't help but admire in her heart: If Yu Qianyue had been taught by Uncle Zhang since she was a child, I'm afraid her piano skills would be more than three levels higher than they are now.

If there is a chance in the future, I can introduce Yu Qianyue to Uncle Zhang. Maybe it will be more successful than teaching this "wooden head".

As he thought this in his heart, he couldn't help but praise her sincerely: "Sister Yu really deserves the title of the most talented woman in Kyoto as the Queen said."

Yu Qianyue's face flushed again, and she replied embarrassedly, "Sister Xu, you are too kind."

Xu Xinyue couldn't help but find it interesting. Why was Yu Qianyue so thin-skinned? Every time she received just a few words of praise, her little face would turn red.

While the two were talking, Xu Xinyue heard the voice of "Xuan San" suddenly coming from above: "There is a boat approaching."

Xu Xinyue followed his gaze and looked over. Another ebony pleasure boat seemed to be attracted by the piano music and was slowly approaching them.

Accompanying it is a faint sound of a flute.

At first it was just a gentle and leisurely sound, but after a while, as the boat got closer, the sound became clearer and crisper, like the singing of hundreds of birds, gathering at the edge of the woods and then dispersing after a while.

Listening carefully, the man was playing the same tune that Professor Xu Xinyue and Yu Qianyue had just played.

The boat was getting closer and closer, and was about to approach him. Only then did Xu Xinyue see clearly the person playing the flute on the bow, and could not help but laugh silently.

The man held a red jade flute in his hand, and wore a green robe, black hair, and a jade crown. He stood facing the wind, and the sound of the flute kept humming under his lips, which did sound like he was harmonizing with the music.

Yu Qianyue was so surprised that she was speechless. After a long while, she said, "It's Prince Qi?"
