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

To harmonize with each other through music, to find a soulmate.

Qin Liexing does have some tricks up his sleeve.

Xu Xinyue turned and looked at Yu Qianyue.

The pair of bright pupils, intoxicated by the music, stared at the man at the bow in a daze, with praise and appreciation flashing in them.

Xu Xinyue's eyes dimmed. If it were normal, even without her, someone as kind-hearted as Yu Qianyue would be seduced by Qin Liexing sooner or later.

Xu Xianyue could only listen to Yu Qianyue's uncontrollable mumbling, "Just now Sister Xu said that the transitions in this piece are complicated and hard to control. Prince Qi played it almost according to the original tune after just listening to it once. It's really amazing."

Xu Xinyue looked at the man at the bow again and said indifferently, "He is indeed quite capable."

It’s just not being used in the right way.

Thinking of this, the follower beside Qin Liexing raised his voice and said, "Who is on the opposite pleasure boat? My master said that he wants to invite a soulmate to come ride with him."

Xu Xinyue had no way to refuse.

Yu Qianyue was happy to find a soulmate and had no intention of refusing, but she was concerned about the differences between men and women. She knew in her heart that she should not travel alone on a boat with Prince Qi. She looked at Xu Xinyue hopefully, and her eyes seemed to speak, silently asking if he could accompany her.

The other side was still waiting for a reply. Xu Xinyue paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Sister Yu, do you still remember what I said in the carriage?"

Yu Qianyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered and nodded: "I remember."

Xu Xinyue said in a gentle voice: "Whether what you said is true or not, you can give it a try. Now is an opportunity."

Yu Qianyue glanced at the pleasure boat opposite, then glanced at Xu Xinyue, wanting to speak up for them.

Xu Xinyue tilted her head, seeming to disapprove: "Sister Yu, you haven't even heard any sweet talk, and you believe it?"

"If I really want to please my sister, it will be much easier than I thought. This is all it takes to write a song."

Yu Qianyue was speechless. After thinking about it, it seemed to be the case. She stopped talking and said nothing more.

The servant on Qin Liexing's side urged again: "Would you like to take a ride on the pleasure boat over there?"

As Xu Xinyue and Yu Qianyue left the cabin, she said, "This is a secret between you and me. Since I have received the trust of Master Yu, I will tell you sincerely. You must not let outsiders know."

Yu Qianyue nodded, "I know."

The three of them boarded Qin Lie's pleasure boat together.

Qin Liexing waited until he saw the three people enter her cabin, then stood up slowly. He did not look at Xu Xinyue, but only fixed his eyes on Yu Qianyue.

Xu Xinyue didn't care and pretended that she didn't know Qin Liexing well. She greeted him gently, "It's King Qi."

She is now Princess Rong. In public, in the eyes of outsiders, she is his sister-in-law and does not need to greet him.

Yu Qianyue's eyes were gentle and soft, and she bowed seriously.

When he looked up, Qin Liexing met her eyes and saw that Yu Qianyue had clear eyebrows and a bright face. She seemed to have met Xizi and Mao Qiang. He was truly amazed.

He did not attend the Queen's banquet that day. He only heard people in the palace talking about how the daughter of Yu's family's Tutor was an excellent musician, of good character and appearance, and dazzling. At first, he sneered at her, thinking that she was probably a mediocre woman who just lived up to the title of Tutor Yu's daughter.

Seeing her for the first time today, I found that what the Queen said was true. She is indeed a beauty from heaven.

His original casual and perfunctory attitude faded a little, and he became more sincere, and led the two of them to sit down.

He personally poured two cups of tea and pushed them in front of Xu Xinyue and Yu Qianyue.

Today, Qin Liexing was dressed elegantly, his movements were gentle and steady, and when he raised his arms and dropped his sleeves, his elegance and dignity were fully revealed. His words were also less vicious and sharp than before that he had displayed in the palace, and his voice was unusually low, as if he was afraid of offending the beauty.

Xu Xinyue felt very uncomfortable when she heard this and felt that he was just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The evil ghost in human skin is nothing more than this.

In the misty tea fog, Qin Lie said: "I just heard the wonderful music of the piano, and I couldn't help but play the flute to accompany it."

He asked knowingly, "I wonder which of you two wrote this?"

While asking the two of them, he kept looking at Yu Qianyue with a smile as if in the spring breeze.

Yu Qianyue answered honestly, "It was the music that Princess Rong taught me."

Xu Xinyue just lowered her eyelashes and sipped her tea without saying a word.

She knew in her heart that Qin Liexing didn't need her to talk to him.

Xu Xinyue acted as if no one was around. Her white jade fingers gently rubbed the emerald green tea in her hand. She savoured the flavour in her mouth and listened to the conversation between the two people beside her.

"Excuse me, young lady, from which family are you from? Could you please tell me your name?"

"Yu Mansion...Yu Qianyue."

"It turns out that she was the 'most talented woman in Kyoto' that the Queen praised a few days ago!"

"Prince Qi, you are overpraising me..."

……

Xu Xinyue thought that no one would pay attention to her actions, but she didn't know that Qin Yuechuan, who was standing behind her, noticed every subtle movement she made.

Qin Yuechuan lowered his eyes silently and looked at Xu Xinyue's back.

Seeing this, Xu Xinyue put down the teacup, took a piece of cake, broke off a small corner, crushed it between her fingertips, put it to her nose and sniffed it carefully. After making sure it was clean and not mixed with anything else, she slowly began to eat.

She would take a sip of tea and a bite of dessert. If she found something she liked, she would take a closer look and carefully taste the fillings inside. Even if no one talked to her, she would still be happy to eat alone.

In a place where Xu Xinyue couldn't see, Qin Yuechuan watched her quiet little movements, his eyes and brows were so soft and gentle that he almost drowned in water.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of piano sounds and came back to her senses. She looked over and saw that Yu Qianyue was already sitting next to the Jiaowei Qin at the other end of the cabin, playing a tune with her fingers flying.

Qin Liexing stood beside her with his hands behind his back, as if he was enjoying the music, but also as if he was thinking about something else.

Xu Xinyue guessed that he was probably considering his next plan.

It was not until Yu Qianyue finished playing a piece and looked up at him, asking for his opinion, that Qin Liexing came back to his senses and began to praise her: "Miss Yu's piano playing is indeed extraordinary. No wonder everyone in the palace is full of praise for her. From what I heard today, she really lives up to her reputation."

Yu Qianyue's smile paused, and she seemed to be lonely. The expectation in her eyes faded away for the most part, and she only responded with one sentence: "Really..."

It was not known whether Qin Liexing was not paying attention to this or he really did not hear it. She had clearly played a few wrong notes on purpose, but in his mouth, it did not seem like anything at all.

Regardless of whether he was sincere in concealing the truth or just giving perfunctory compliments, Yu Qianyue was not very satisfied with the result. She thought she had found a soulmate...

Yu Qianyue couldn't help but recall Xu Xinyue's words in the carriage:

"If you want to know whether this person is sincere to you, you can make a preliminary judgment at one point, and the method is not difficult -

"If you say what others say, he will say what you say."

"To put it simply, it means to agree."

Xu Xianyue said calmly:

"No matter what you say or do, whether it is right or wrong, if it is to please you, to win your favor in a short period of time, most of the time, I will do everything to show that I share the same ideals as you."

"If we are truly friends, shouldn't we treat each other with sincerity and express our opinions?"

"What this person wants to know is the real you."

Yu Qianyue was a little confused: "But, Sister Xu, why can't he really admire me and give in for me?"

"Excuse me, but I heard that Prince Rong is very caring towards Sister Xu. Didn't he give in for you?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head and chuckled:

"Sister Yu, you know that there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. Even the two most compatible people have their differences."

After a pause, Xu Xinyue seemed to be reminiscing and chuckled: "I also had disagreements with him."

Yu Qianyue was surprised: "Huh!? Then who compromised in the end?"

Xu Xinyue said: "Each of them holds his own opinion and neither is willing to give in."

Yu Qianyue was even more surprised: "What was the result?"

Xu Xinyue smiled and said, "I won. I drugged him and knocked him out."

Yu Qianyue opened her eyes wide: “Ah?” Is this possible?

Xu Xinyue continued, "You say pig, he says dog. This is the norm in the world. You say dog, he says dog. You say pig, he also says pig. This is obvious vassalage and easygoing. But this kind of mood is not seen overnight. Only over time can you see the heart of a person."

“‘Harmony without uniformity’ is more difficult than ‘sameness without harmony’.”

Seeing Yu Qianyue's dazed look, Xu Xinyue couldn't help but said with a smile:

"Don't be surprised, sister Yu. Simple metaphors are always more intuitive than those profound and difficult to understand principles. I come from a merchant family, so my words may be rough, but my logic is not rough!"

"Ah this..." This is too rough.

……

As the memories came to an end, Yu Qianyue placed her fingers on the strings of the zither, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Xinyue understood the meaning of her music and secretly raised her eyebrows, thinking: Yu Qianyue is really good at applying what she has learned. With just one piece of music, she was able to reveal Qin Liexing's true appearance.

She turned her head and continued to pour her own tea, listening carefully to the movements behind her.

As he put a cup of tea into his mouth, he suddenly heard Yu Qianyue's clear voice behind him, asking earnestly, "Prince Qi, do you like pigs or dogs?"

"puff!"

Xu Xinyue couldn't help it and almost spit out the small sip of tea that had entered her throat.

Knowing that she had lost her composure, Xu Xinyue held back her cough, covered her chest, bit her lip and tried her best not to laugh out loud.

How come Yu Qianyue is so innocent and cute? How come she can ask such rough words in such a sweet and sweet voice?

Qin Liexing subconsciously glanced in Xu Xinyue's direction. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, a black wall of people stood between him and Xu Xinyue with their backs to him, cutting off Qin Liexing's line of sight and blocking his way.

Qin Liexing had no choice but to look away for the moment.

Qin Yuechuan blocked it with his body, frowned, and stroked Xu Xinyue's trembling back with his big hand, then poured her another glass of water and handed it to her silently.

Qin Liexing looked at Yu Qianyue again and asked uncertainly, "What did Miss Yu say just now?"
