Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

However, she didn't think that this would be successful. The eldest prince was not an ordinary person, and those who caught his eye must be extraordinary.

When the eldest prince was listening to the guzheng, he only had a vague understanding of it. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the music he heard at the empress dowager's birthday banquet that day.

That is the true human music. Thinking of Shen Mengyao, he suddenly remembered that he had gotten to know Shen Mengyao after the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Her husband's surname seemed to be Li, and his name was Li Junfeng.

Could it be the person in front of me?

While I was thinking, the sound of the zither had stopped.

The eldest prince simply glanced out the window and then looked away, saying in a cold voice: "Although the sound of the guzheng is melodious, it lacks some soul. It is far inferior to the court musicians of our dynasty."

Li Junfeng's face froze, but he reacted quickly and said immediately: "The eldest prince is right. No matter how good the music is, it can't compare to the one in the palace. It's just that the scenery between the water and the clouds is beautiful. If there is no entertainment, it would be too dry. The eldest prince should just pretend that there is a sound next to him and meet this musician."

The eldest prince agreed with a calm expression. He actually didn't know much about music. He was thinking in his heart, could it be that he wanted Shen Mengyao to come? This would be exactly what he wanted!

The sliding door opened, and Meng Yuehuan appeared at the door holding a zither.

The elegant emerald green dress was like a newly blossoming lotus, fresh and refined. She walked into the house, knelt down gracefully, and tuned the strings of the zither.

She wore a veil on her face to look mysterious, and her exposed eyes seemed to be full of autumn water.

Pretty, but not Shen Mengyao!

The eldest prince narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Yuehuan, stop tuning the strings and come meet the eldest prince." A sharp light flashed in Li Junfeng's eyes. The eldest prince seemed to be a little interested in Meng Yuehuan. This was his chance!

If he takes his woman, does he still worry that the eldest prince won't help him on his road to success?

Meng Yuehuan was a little nervous when she heard Li Junfeng's words, but she remained calm. She gently put down the zither in her hand, slowly stood up, saluted to the eldest prince and said, "I am Meng Yuehuan, your humble daughter, and I greet the eldest prince."

The eldest prince nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on her for a moment, but soon shifted to the zither. He said calmly, "Let's begin."

Meng Yuehuan took a deep breath, sat down again, and gently plucked the strings with her fingers. The sound of the guzheng sounded again, more beautiful and more affectionate than before. Her sound was like the gurgling of a stream, making people intoxicated.

Li Junfeng was delighted when he saw this, thinking that his plan seemed to be working. He secretly observed the eldest prince's expression and saw that although the eldest prince still had no expression on his face, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Good! Reward!"

The eldest prince slammed the table and his attendant Mu Falcon dropped the silver.

Meng Yuehuan was a little bit unbelievable. Was she being treated like a singer?

But thinking that the other party was the eldest prince, she did not dare to care. She stood up, took the silver, and at Li Junfeng's signal, poured a glass of wine in a soft voice.

"Yue Huan once again presents a song for the eldest prince. May the eldest prince be healthy and have a long life."

She raised her glass and toasted to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince just glanced at her indifferently and did not take the glass.

She lifted her veil, with wine in her cherry lips, looking so charming!

After drinking it, she stroked her forehead with her slender fingers: "This wine is so mellow."

She looked intoxicated, her body staggering, and she almost fell on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince glanced over with disgust. Mu Falcon took the lead and directly fended Meng Yuehuan off with one hand, with the sword in his hand half unsheathed.

"Oh, a singing girl who only sings for money wants to get close to the Crown Prince. That's too wishful thinking."

Meng Yuehuan's expression was one of shock at first. She had never expected that she would be treated like this. Tears welled up in her eyes and she looked very sad.

"I'm not a singer. I'm Li Junfeng's cousin. I'm from a good family."

"Oh, you are a good family girl, but you are so good at this. Who taught you to do this?" The eldest prince looked down on him and mocked him: "You are doing this kind of thing in a brothel. Do you think I will fall for it? Who do you think I am?"

Meng Yuehuan blushed at this sudden ridicule and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Junfeng hurriedly stood up and wanted to defend Meng Yuehuan, but he swallowed the words back because he knew that any defense would be pale and powerless in front of the eldest prince.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense, and no one dared to speak, for fear of angering the eldest prince.

Meng Yuehuan stood aside, tears welling up in her eyes, her heart filled with grievance and unwillingness.

"Your Highness, I didn't mean any other thing. I was just feeling dizzy. Please forgive me for offending you, Your Highness!"

The eldest prince did not seem to intend to let her go. He stared at Meng Yuehuan coldly, his voice full of disdain: "Do you think you can get close to me with these means? Let me tell you, I have seen countless beauties, and your looks are not worthy of my attention."

Meng Yuehuan was devastated by the eldest prince's words. She covered her mouth and tried not to cry. Li Junfeng also felt unprecedented embarrassment and anger, but he did not dare to get angry. He could only watch his Meng Yuehuan being insulted.

"Why don't you get out of here! Are you waiting for this prince to ask you to leave?"

Meng Yuehuan bit her lip, picked up the guzheng, and retreated in a hurry.

Queyue, who fell on the roof, saw this scene and understood that Li Junfeng did not have the ability to get close to the eldest prince, so she flew away.

Mu Falcon's ears moved as if he sensed something. He immediately opened the window and looked out. He saw a graceful figure flying away, entering the box from another window and disappearing.

The eldest prince was chatting and laughing with the other guests, so he said nothing for the time being!

Queyue went to find Shen Mengyao and saw her sitting on the wooden platform on the second floor, looking at the scenery outside the window with a worried look on her face. Cuiwei was fanning herself beside her. Both the master and servant looked like they were worried about something, so she smiled and walked over.

"My Lord, you are really worrying too much."

"Oh?" Shen Mengyao turned around and asked, "What happened?"

Queyue thought of the scene just now and just felt like laughing.

"Princess, don't worry, Li Junfeng did not succeed in getting close to the eldest prince. He originally wanted to let his cousin Meng Yuehuan use her beauty to get close to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was knowledgeable and experienced, how could he be easily seduced by a woman? Meng Yuehuan flirted with him, but was scolded by the eldest prince and was driven out in disgrace." Queyue couldn't help laughing when she said this.

Shen Mengyao also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
