Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw Song Zhiyan and Song Jiayi sitting there.

"Is there something urgent? I heard you were waiting in the mansion early in the morning."

"Your Majesty."

When the two saw Xie Junyi coming back, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"What happened?"

Xie Junyi thought that something must have happened in the Song Mansion, which was why the two of them had to wait here.

Song Jiayi lowered her head feeling somewhat guilty.

But Song Zhiyan laughed, "The violin you wanted is ready. I sent it to you specially."

"Violin? Where is it?"

Meng Xiyue's eyes lit up. She didn't expect it to get better so quickly.

Xie Junyi frowned slightly.

"Just ask the servants to bring it over. It's not worth it for the two of you to make a trip and wait here."

“It’s certainly worth it.”

Song Zhiyan opened the box containing the violin as he spoke.

Meng Xiyue couldn't wait to go forward to check it out. The craftsmanship of this ancient craftsman was very good, and the painting was almost exactly the same as what she had drawn.

"Are you better at playing the violin than the erhu?"

Without waiting for Xie Junyi to stop her, Meng Xiyue replied, "Of course, I play the violin the best."

"Then can you play it for me?"

Song Zhiyan's eyes were wide open, and even Song Jiayi beside him had a look of anticipation on her face.

"It's too late today and we are all tired. Let's do it another day."

Xie Junyi didn't wait for Meng Xiyue to answer and directly ordered her to leave.

"Well……"

Just as Song Jiayi was about to leave, she was pulled aside by her brother.

"No, we've been waiting for so long, you have to let us listen to the song no matter what."

Song Zhiyan started to act like a rogue. After learning from his sister that the person who played the erhu last time was Meng Xiyue, he guessed that this violin must have been custom-made for her as well.

He wasn’t satisfied with the erhu last time, so he wanted to listen to whatever the violin said this time.

Especially after hearing Meng Xiyue say that he played the violin better than the erhu, he couldn't wait any longer.

Having grown up with Xie Junyi, Song Zhiyan could see through his thoughts at a glance. He obviously didn't want Meng Xiyue to tell them.

If I leave today, I may never have the chance to listen to it again.

"Why, do you need me to ask someone to ask you to leave?"

There was a dangerous light flashing in Xie Junyi's eyes. He was really not afraid of being threatened.

"If you want to drive me away, I will take the violin with me."

Seeing that something was wrong, Song Zhiyan quickly closed the box and held the violin in his arms.

Since you can’t hear the music anyway, you can forget about taking the violin away.

Song Jiayi saw her brother sitting on the ground holding the box, looking like a scoundrel, and she couldn't bear to watch it.

But her brother has always been obsessed with music, and he might not leave without listening to this piece of music.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do and could only look to Meng Xiyue for help.

Meng Xiyue was already itching to play the violin when she saw it and wanted to give it a try.

She reached out and tugged at Xie Junyi's sleeve, and spoke softly.

"Just one song. I want to play it for you."

“But there are other people here.”

Xie Junyi said unhappily that he naturally wanted to hear her play, but he only wanted to listen to it alone.

"I mainly play it for you, and they just listen to it. The sound of the piano floats far away, and we can't block everyone's ears."

Seeing that he was still silent with a gloomy face, Meng Xiyue said, "How about we play behind the green gauze cabinet and let Prince Song and Princess listen in the main hall? How about that?"

"Okay, we'll listen here."

Song Jiayi quickly echoed.

Xie Junyi and Song Zhiyan looked at each other, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of giving in, they nodded in agreement.

Xie Junyi grabbed the violin case with one hand and pulled Meng Xiyue to the back of the gauze cabinet with the other.

Meng Xiyue took off her coat, tied up her scattered hair with a hairpin, then opened the box and took out the violin.

Qianxiang moved a stool and placed it in the middle. Meng Xiyue shook her head and said, "No need."

She placed the violin on her shoulder, tested the sound first, and made sure there was no problem before she slowly played it.

Xie Junyi was watching in fascination. It was the first time he saw someone playing the violin while standing, just like playing the flute.

But this kind of music gives people a sense of elegance and nobility. Its tone is bright and high-pitched, yet delicate and soft.

Different from the deep and soft sound of the guqin and the graceful and light sound of the pipa, the violin gives people a cool and melodious feeling.

When the song ends, one feels that it is still not over.

"Girl, what song is this?"

Song Zhiyan outside asked anxiously. If Song Jiayi hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed in.

"This is... a foreign tune."

"Can you play one more song?"

Seeing that he was getting more and more aggressive, Xie Junyi didn't tolerate him and directly ordered in a cold voice, "Ziye, send the guest away."

Before Song Zhiyan could say anything else, he was thrown out of the mansion.

"My Lord, what do you think?"

Meng Xiyue looked at him intently, wanting to get an answer.

"Very good, but you can only play it in front of me."

Xie Junyi felt a little regretful, and Song Zhiyan heard it.

Such a beautiful girl cannot be seen by any man except him.

"Let's go to the back garden and I'll play another song for you."

Meng Xiyue felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to play in an open space.

"it is good."

Without the annoying people around, Xie Junyi naturally wanted to listen.

The two were happily playing the violin in the back garden, but someone in the mansion was unhappy.

The first one who couldn't help herself was Ji Nianyin, and she threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

"What's so great about being able to play a piece of music? Is it necessary to play it endlessly?"

Her eyes were filled with jealousy, "She just wanted to use this trick to seduce the prince. She is really a vixen."

"Yin'er, be careful with your words and actions. If this gets to the prince's ears, you will definitely be punished again."

Nanny Ji came in and scolded her daughter, not understanding why she never learned her lesson.

"Mother, Meng Xiyue is too arrogant. She has occupied the prince for two days. Now that she has just returned home, she is pestering the prince again. The prince does not belong to her alone."

"Whether it's hers alone or not, it has nothing to do with you. Don't forget your identity."

Nanny Ji really regretted that she was busy with the affairs of the palace and neglected to discipline Ji Nianyin, which led to her becoming so unruly.

"Ms. Yin, the prince's designated concubine, didn't say anything, why are you making such a fuss?"

"She is a concubine and has the Queen's support, so she is not afraid of anything. But my daughter has nothing."

Jin Yiyin was discouraged. She was getting old and she couldn't just keep wasting time like this.

"Why rush? Once there is a mistress in the palace, they will naturally be taken care of. You just need to wait patiently."

After all, Xie Junyi had already said that he would not take a concubine before the main wife married into the family, and no one could break this rule.

"When will there be a princess?"

"Soon. I heard that person will be coming to Beijing soon."
