Wearing a book, hooking him up

Night fell quietly. Although it was dark, one could still clearly feel the stuffy air all around, as if even the air had become sticky.

Huameiju.

When Lin Miaoyin heard that His Highness would be coming over tonight, she began to make careful preparations early.

At this moment, she sat on the couch nervously and expectantly, twisting the handkerchief in her hands.

Next to her is her personal maid Yuqi.

"Yuqi, take a quick look at my makeup, is there anything wrong with it?"

Lin Miaoyin's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Yuqi.

"Master, you have light makeup tonight, your face is rosy, your eyebrows are like distant black, your eyes are like autumn waves, and you are still beautiful. Your Highness will definitely like it."

In order to ease her master's nervousness, Yuqi smiled widely, praised her softly, and her eyes were full of sincerity.

Lin Miaoyin has a petite figure, a beautiful face, and a pitiful appearance that easily arouses a man's desire to protect her.

At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were lightly bitten with her pearly teeth. Her nervousness was fully apparent, making her even more lovable.

Yesterday, the prince went to the concubine's place. The three newlyweds were secretly thinking that the prince would summon the newlyweds tonight, but Lin Miaoyin didn't expect that she would be the first one.

Among the three of them, Lin Miaoyin had the lowest status. Although she was a noble lady of the highest class in Jinzhou, when she came to the capital, Ye Yaqin's father was a second-rank commander-in-chief, and Mu Liyue's father was a third-rank minister of the imperial court. They were both women from aristocratic families.

I originally thought that Her Highness would go to Ye Yaqin first based on their status, but she actually came to Huameiju.

Could it be that His Highness had already remembered her on the day of the selection?

Do you have some feelings towards her?

The more Lin Miaoyin thought about it, the more her heart started beating like a deer, and two blushes quickly appeared on her cheeks.

"Master, His Highness is already on his way to Huamei Residence."

A palace servant hurried in and bowed slightly to report to Lin Miaoyin.

Lin Miaoyin and other concubines had learned the palace rules before the selection, so they naturally knew that they needed to greet the Crown Prince in advance in order to serve him.

Then she took a deep breath, stood up from the couch, straightened her dress, raised what she thought was her most beautiful smile, and walked out of the bedroom with light steps.

At the entrance of Huameiju, Lin Miaoyin stood respectfully with an upright posture and a hint of submissiveness.

Her eyes extended outward from time to time, full of anticipation and nervousness.

Jun Zechen walked slowly out of the deep darkness, his steps steady and powerful.

Lin Miaoyin had never carefully looked at the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before. At this moment, as His Royal Highness gradually approached, she took a quick glance at him. Her handsome face made her lower her head shyly in an instant, and her cheeks turned as red as the sunset.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Miaoyin bowed slightly, her voice soft and a little shy.

"Get up."

Jun Zechen's voice was light, calm and without any waves.

Then, without looking around, he walked past her and went straight into the house.

Lin Miaoyin followed behind him, and only at this moment did she dare to quietly raise her head and look at the majestic figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His broad shoulders and straight spine made her heart beat faster.

Jun Zechen came over after dinner. He didn't spend much time in the harem in his previous life, but this woman had also been in his harem for many years, and Jun Zechen was already familiar with her.

When he saw them again, his heart was as calm as water, just like the kind of person who knew everything about everyone, whether it was their personality, what they would do in the future, or their admiration for him, so Jun Zechen's heart was not disturbed at all.

After entering the room, Jun Zechen sat down on the couch very casually with smooth movements.

Anshun respectfully handed the book he brought from Yude Hall to Jun Zechen.

This is a collection of poems that Jun Zechen used to kill time. After all, it was still early.

Lin Miaoyin sat obediently on the other side of the couch, her body slightly tense, not quite sure what to say.

If she spoke rashly, would His Highness think she was noisy?

Lin Miaoyin bit her lips lightly, leaving faint marks on them with her pearly teeth. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes wandering, and seemed a little at a loss.

In the silent room, there was only the slight sound of papers turning when Jun Zechen was flipping through books.

Lin Miaoyin felt that she couldn't just wait passively like this. After hesitating for a long time, she mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, how about I play the piano for you?"

Jun Zechen did not take his eyes off the book, but just nodded slightly.

Lin Miaoyin gave Yuqi a look, and Yuqi understood and took her piano.

In fact, playing the piano is not Lin Miaoyin's special skill, but Lin Miaoyin does not know His Highness's preferences at the moment, so she can only try it out first.

Later, after I have a deeper understanding of Your Highness’ preferences, I will study hard.

Yuqi placed the piano properly, and Lin Miaoyin walked over and sat down. She gently tested the piano sound with her slender fingers, and then began to play the song she was most familiar with.

The melody was melodious and graceful, flowing into people's hearts like a gurgling stream. A pair of affectionate eyes always looked at Jun Zechen, with shyness and admiration.

She sat there concentrating on playing the piano, while he half-reclined and leisurely read a book. The scene looked very peaceful and beautiful.

However, Lin Miaoyin's piano music reflects her inner shyness. Every note carries the feelings of a young girl in love, making the air seem to be filled with a subtle sweetness.

Jun Zechen knew clearly that Lin Miaoyin was not very good at playing the piano, and the one with superb piano skills was Ye Yaqin.

However, Ye Yaqin is as ambitious as the Ye family. Although she appears gentle on the surface, she is actually very scheming and uses many tricks.

As a result, Jun Zechen felt that Ye Yaqin's piano music no longer had the elegance of grace, but was instead tainted with the vulgarity of power.

Although Lin Miaoyin also has her own little thoughts, at least she does a very good job on the surface. When you get along with her, you don't feel her calculations and scheming, and you just feel relaxed and comfortable.

Lin Miaoyin was also very sensible and well-behaved. As long as Jun Zechen didn't put down the book in his hand, she would keep playing the piano. They were all soothing tunes. The sound of the piano seemed to have magical powers that could help people relieve a day's fatigue.

Lin Miaoyin's mother was not her father's legal wife, but a concubine who was promoted to a concubine.

Naturally, she also learned to appreciate her mother's thoughtfulness towards her father.

A man is busy with his work during the day, so he should relax his body and mind at night.

Even though the gentle and caring mother is not daddy's favorite, daddy can't live without mother the most.

Lin Miaoyin also wants to be such a woman. She does not expect the Crown Prince to love her deeply. As long as he likes her a little, does not feel bored, and even feels comfortable with her, it is enough.

Then she would have the confidence to continue living in the palace, and if she were lucky enough to give birth to a royal heir in the future, she would be satisfied with her life.

As she thought about it, Lin Miaoyin's smile became even sweeter.

Time seemed to stand still, passing slowly by every second.

Jun Zechen finally closed the book in his hand, and the slight "click" sound was particularly clear in the silent room.

Almost at the same moment, Lin Miaoyin also stopped playing the piano, and the last note seemed to still echo in the air.

"Your Highness, do you want to rest?"

Lin Miaoyin's voice was as gentle as falling feathers, with a hint of careful inquiry.

Jun Zechen nodded slightly.

Then he walked towards the clothes rack. Seeing this, Lin Miaoyin hurriedly followed him in small steps, her movements seeming a little stiff.

She stretched out her hand and began to undress Jun Zechen properly.

But she had just played the piano for quite a long time, and her hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably as she took off her clothes, and her fingertips seemed a little stiff.

In addition, it was the first time she was so close to a man, with a warm breath blowing in her face and her cheek almost touching the prince's broad chest. Lin Miaoyin's blush quickly spread from her cheeks to her ears, and even her fair neck was stained with a layer of pink.

Lin Miaoyin had just taken off Jun Zechen's robe and hung it on the hanger.

Anshun walked in with a nervous mood.

"Your Highness."

When Lin Miaoyin saw An Shun coming in, her body suddenly paused, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart. Her already tense nerves were even more tense at this moment.

Jun Zechen's expression was still as calm as water, without any ripples. "What's the matter?" His voice was majestic.

"The maid from Concubine Su's palace wants to see you."

Anshun's voice was trembling and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Last time, the concubine went to the Crown Princess's palace to snatch someone away. Today is the first day that His Highness favors a newcomer. Could it be that Concubine Su is going to snatch His Highness away again?

When Lin Miaoyin heard An Shun's words, her heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss and kept sinking.

This morning I witnessed Concubine Su's arrogance towards the Crown Princess, but I didn't expect that it would be my turn tonight.

She lowered her head and bit her lips with her pearly teeth. Although her heart was full of anger and grievance, she dared not speak out.

I just pray silently in my heart, hoping that His Highness will not condone Concubine Su's lawless and arrogant attitude.

Jun Zechen's face darkened instantly.

Yesterday he had a vague feeling that this woman would definitely make a fuss about him favoring someone else, so he thought about comforting her, but he didn't expect that she would still make a fuss today.

She better be in trouble! Otherwise, she will not be let off easily!

Jun Zechen was secretly angry.

"Let people come in."

When Lin Miaoyin heard His Highness' words, she felt as if she had suffered a heavy blow. She looked up suddenly, full of disbelief and panic.

She gritted her teeth and suppressed the fear in her heart.

If His Highness leaves Huamei Residence tonight, how will she face everyone in the Eastern Palace tomorrow?

Wouldn't that mean everyone would sneer at her and laugh at her?

Anshun brought the palace maid in. The palace maid kept her head down from beginning to end. She walked in tremblingly and bowed.

Then she timidly relayed Concubine Su's words: "Your Highness, I have a headache today and can't sleep. I want you to come and see me."

Headache?

Jun Zechen was conflicted for a moment, not knowing whether she really had a headache or was just pretending.

Although she also sent people to Qiluan Palace to invite him last time, when he went there, she was indeed very scared because of the thunder, so he stayed with her until she fell asleep before leaving.

Is it possible that I really have a headache today?

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Have you called the doctor?"

"The master felt it was too late and that she would be fine after a rest, so she did not call a doctor." The maid's voice became more and more trembling.

"Nonsense!"

After saying that, Jun Zechen quickly walked to the clothes rack, grabbed the clothes, put them on quickly, and walked out of Huameiju without looking back.

Lin Miaoyin stared blankly at His Highness's hurriedly departing back, her eyes empty, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Then he could only murmur: "Your Highness..."

The voice was as light as fallen leaves in the wind, full of helplessness and loss.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left as soon as he said he would, Anshun still couldn't bear it and turned around to comfort Lin Liangyuan.

"Lin Liangyuan, Concubine Su has a headache. Your Highness is just concerned about her. Don't take it to heart."

There was some sympathy and helplessness on Anshun's face.

Lin Miaoyin was not the kind of person who could not bear grievances, but at this moment tears were still welling up in her eyes, and she was trying hard not to let them fall.

"Thank you, Master Anshun, for your comfort."

Her voice was visibly choked.

Anshun sighed and felt in his heart: They are all pitiful women.

Then he hurriedly followed His Highness's footsteps and headed for Shuining Palace.
