The maid set up the piano table, then came over with the precious Taiyi Qin in her arms and placed it carefully.

"Miss, everything is set up."

The maid was blessed, and secretly winked at Li Mengyao when she passed by her. Li Mengyao's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at Su Leyun vaguely.

Su Leyun watched the interaction between the two and was secretly wary in her heart. She didn't know why Li Mengyao was so hostile to her in the past and present life. She asked herself that she had never hurt or offended her.

Li Mengyao pressed her ten fingers on the string, and the maid returned to her seat and stood behind the desk, holding the freshly heated apricot flower wine.

The slender fingertips slid, the sound of the piano was lingering, and a cheerful tune called "Feng Qiuhuang" slowly came out.

The music had just started, and Princess Anle's expression suddenly changed for some reason. She excused herself to sober up and slowly walked out of the back hall. Her maid asked to accompany her, but she didn't answer.

The rest of the noble ladies were focused on the music of the piano and did not care about Princess Anle's whereabouts. Only Su Leyun was secretly surprised that Feng Qiuhuang's song was touching and joyful. Princess Anle was only twenty-eight years old and she was at the age of longing for her. She actually didn't like it...

It's just a song, and the lingering sound lingers around, and everyone is still intoxicated by the music.

Su Waner was the first to stand up and applaud, welcoming Li Mengyao back to her seat.

"Sister Mengyao is worthy of being the leader in piano art in the capital, and her skills and music are beyond my reach."

Li Mengyao smiled arrogantly and said modestly: "My sister is so complimentary. There are so many capable people in the capital, how dare I take the lead."

Although he spoke modestly, his words were filled with lust.

She has been practicing piano skills hard since she was three years old. As a legitimate daughter, she does not dare to relax, just to win favor for her mother in front of her father.

Due to hard training, her nails fell off several times and her fingers were injured, but she never noticed it. She never gave up regardless of the cold or summer, and finally performed a song at the spring banquet, which was praised by His Majesty.

Among the noble ladies in the capital, she is the first in piano skills, and she is also blessed with a marriage.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyao's originally cold eyes suddenly softened. The maid standing beside her bowed down to pour wine for her, but she happened to bump into the young lady's raised elbow while picking up the food.

The steaming jug flew out and landed on Su Leyun's desk. The silver jug ​​collided with the plate, and juice and wine overflowed. Although Su Leyun got up in time, the hem of his skirt was still stained with some dirt. .

"You clumsy girl! You still haven't apologized to Miss Su Er!"

Li Mengyao put the wine glass on the table and scolded the maid with a sound that was neither gentle nor serious.

The maidservant knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowing in the direction of Su Leyun.

"Miss Su Er, please forgive me, please spare me this time!"

Su Leyun raised his hand to let the maid get up, and glanced at Li Mengyao indifferently, deliberately soiling her dress and making her look embarrassed in public. Now she doesn't notice these little tricks.

"Sister Mingyan, my clothes are dirty. Please excuse me for a moment."

Su Leyun stood up and blessed her body towards the main seat. Seeing that she was fine, Zhao Mingyan waved to her maid to take her to the back hall to change into clean clothes.

"Find out my newly made clothes that haven't been worn yet and give them to sister Yun'er. Don't neglect them."

Zhao Mingyan was the protagonist today and had to take care of the ladies who came to the banquet. If she couldn't accompany her in person, she sent a capable girl to follow her.

"Miss Yun'er, please come this way."

The girl led the way, speaking pleasant words dexterously.

"My young lady has fallen in love with you. Miss Yun'er will come to my house more often in the future."

"My slave has never seen a noble girl as beautiful and charming as Miss Yun'er. Only after meeting you, my slave, will I know what it means to be an immortal descending to earth."

Su Leyun couldn't help laughing when he looked at the sweet-mouthed little girl in front of him, and suddenly felt sad again.

In the previous life, it was this girl who told the reason why Sister Zhao jumped off the high platform with tears in her eyes.

Just as she was thinking about it, a strange little girl hurried over and grabbed the girl who was leading the way.

"Sister Cui'er, the red coral string on my wrist is missing. I asked you to go back and help find it."

Upon hearing the red coral string, Cui'er's expression changed and she glanced at Su Leyun in embarrassment.

Red coral bracelet, it turns out that the Zhao family sister has already met and fallen in love with the scholar.

"You go back and help your sister find things and let her lead the way."

Su Leyun asked Cui'er to go back, then pointed to the little girl who was looking for someone and led her to change clothes.

She was only thinking about Miss Zhao and the short-lived scholar, and ignored the occasional glint in the little girl's eyes.

Cui'er got lucky and ran away. The little girl walked in front of Su Leyun to lead the way. Somehow, she passed through the corridor and walked further and further away from the sound of singing and dancing people.

Su Leyun frowned secretly as he looked at the unswept fallen leaves on the ground. Just when he was about to call the girl, he raised his eyes and saw that the little girl's figure flashed twice and disappeared behind the tree.

"So what if you lure me here?"

In her previous life, she might have panicked, but now she only needs to ask a servant to find her way back. It's not like Zhao Mansion couldn't even find a servant in such a big house.

Su Leyun recalled the layout of the Zhao Mansion and speculated that this must be the back garden. Maybe the servants were only busy with the birthday party and forgot to clean this place.

"But Miss Su Er?"

Suddenly, a graceful female voice called her out. Su Leyun turned her head, revealing a trace of crimson skirt behind the plum tree.

"Princess Anle? Why are you here?"

Su Leyun raised his eyes and saw a large piece of material torn at the shoulder of the princess's coat, vaguely revealing the bright white skin.

"I was just relaxing in the garden and accidentally scratched my shirt. Can you send me a coat for me?"

Princess Anle looked worried and covered her shoulders.

Su Leyun frowned, took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered it on Princess Anle's shoulders. He then covered the handkerchief with his hand and walked out along the corridor with the princess in an intimate gesture.

She could clearly see that Princess Anle was turning blue from the cold and could not stay outside any longer.

"My daughter, I will send you to find a wing to rest first, and then you can find some clothes to wear."

Princess Anle nodded, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

She was born in a royal family and her reputation was the most important thing. She could not let others see her disheveled appearance.

Her brother has been thinking a lot about affairs in the DPRK recently, and she can no longer let him worry about it.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, princess."

After pushing open a secluded wing and placing the princess, Su Leyun ignored the dirt on his body and walked towards the front yard.

"There are a lot of strange things going on today."

Moving forward along the corridor, a group of girls were carrying trays to go to the banquet. Su Leyun called one of them and said slowly: "I came from the banquet in front and soiled my clothes. The girl who led the way just now is lost. You can find someone." Bring me two sets of dresses."

The little girl handed the tray to the other one and led Su Leyun towards Zhao Mingyan's boudoir in the back hall.

"Miss, please follow me."

The little girl explained the reason to the older girl who was guarding the house. The older girl found two sets of clothes and helped Su Leyun change the dirty outer clothes.

"My lady, the color is good. This lake blue suit suits you perfectly."

This girl has a sweet mouth like Cui'er, and she came out holding a set of tender willow-colored outer clothes.

"But there is a young lady who soiled her dress at the banquet? I will serve you."

"No, just give me the clothes."
