The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke's heart tightened. What talents did she have to show off?

Want to play another song?

Not to mention that the original owner couldn't do it, she couldn't do it in her previous life, and the life before that!

Xu Keke stood up, bowed, and said without changing his expression.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. My skills are not very good, and I am afraid that I will pollute your ears."

Chu Musheng was very persistent.

"Miss Xu, there's no need to be so modest. This prince wants to hear it."

The second master and the second mistress were racking their brains at this moment to think of how to help their daughter out of the predicament.

But the prince was looking at his daughter with burning eyes, and any sound they made would spoil the mood.

The second master had no choice but to silently fill the prince's glass with wine, and the second wife also clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the dining hall.

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. In desperation, Xu Keke could only ask Dingdang to get the piano and play it in the hall.

"Clearly."

The sound of the piano was ferocious, like the sound of a devil filling the brain, and everyone wanted to cover their ears.

Only Chu Musheng listened in surprise, the wine glass in his hand stopped in mid-air, and he forgot to drink.

When the song ended, the dining hall fell into dead silence.

After a moment, Chu Musheng drank the wine in the glass in his hand, and then said seriously.

"Ms. Xu is indeed very talented and plays the piano very well, but you should not play it again in the future."

Xu Keke rubbed her fingers and stood up to salute.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. If you would like to hear more in the future, I, despite my humble talent, am willing to play all kinds of tunes for you."

"Very well, Miss Xu, from now on, please only play your earth-shattering piano skills for me!"

Chu Musheng didn't take it as an offense and looked at Xu Keke lovingly.

He had previously sent someone to find out everything about Xu Keke.

Naturally, I knew that Xu Keke had injured her brain when she was six years old, and she had never learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting that young ladies in the boudoir should learn.

Chu Musheng didn't mind at all. If he wanted to listen to music and watch performances, there were excellent musicians and actors in the palace and the royal palace.

The Xu family dinner lasted until the hour of Xu, when it was already late and the sky was covered with darkness.

After the banquet, Chu Musheng suggested that he and Xu Keke go to the back garden for a walk to digest the food.

The Second Master and his men would naturally not stop them, and the Second Lady even stopped Dingdang who wanted to follow her young lady.

Xu Keke didn't know what the Regent was up to, but it was difficult to refuse, so she had to agree.

The two came to the back garden. The night sky was dotted with stars, the moon was crescent-shaped, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the faint flowers, plants and trees.

Chu Musheng walked in front, and Xu Keke followed behind him holding a lantern.

The two of them have graceful figures, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, just like a perfect couple.

Finally, Chu Musheng stopped, turned around and looked at Xu Keke with a deep gaze.

"Miss Xu, do you know why I came here today?"

Xu Keke lowered her head, thinking to herself that you might be having a mental breakdown again!

He answered quietly.

"I don't know, please tell me clearly, Your Highness."

Chu Musheng sighed softly.

"I have seen many flatterers and calculating people in the palace, but you are different. You are straightforward and lovely."

Xu Keke took advantage of the night when Chu Musheng couldn't see her face and secretly rolled her eyes at him.

This time, the Dog Prince changed his tactics and used sweet talk to attack himself.

"Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."

Chu Musheng smiled slightly and continued.

"I am speaking the truth. Ever since I bumped into you by chance on the street and was pulled down by you, I have been thinking about you all the time."

Xu Keke followed suit with an inappropriate sigh.

"A sin!"

Hearing this, Chu Musheng didn't quite understand what she meant. He took a step forward and put his arm around Xu Keke's waist.

"No matter what you think, I have made up my mind to marry you. I will take you to see the Queen Mother at the Empress Dowager's 1000th birthday banquet.

I will marry you into Prince Sheng's palace soon. You will take my surname and your name will be inscribed on the Imperial Jade Butterfly."

Xu Keke wanted to break free from his restraints, but couldn't. She was so panicked that she spoke without thinking.

"Your Highness, didn't we agree on a nine-year agreement that we wouldn't have to become a Jade Butterfly of the Imperial Family? I'm worried it'll be hard to shed this identity after nine years."

Chu Musheng understood what was said and immediately became annoyed.

"You're still thinking of severing ties with this king? I'm sincere to you, yet you treat me with such contempt?"

Chu Musheng increased the strength in his hands and his voice became much deeper.

Xu Keke felt his anger, and thought to herself that something was wrong, so she hurried to explain.

"Your Highness, please calm down. That's not what I meant. I was just frightened by your arrogance again."

Nowadays, it seems that having a poor brain is not a bad thing. It has always been the best excuse for doing something wrong.

Chu Musheng stared into her eyes with a burning gaze, slowly approached her, and his warm breath sprayed on her face.

"You little girl, really make this king love and annoyed at the same time."

Xu Keke's face turned red instantly and her heart beat like a drum.

"Your Highness, please don't be like this. It's scary to be sweet-mouthed and mean-spirited."

Chu Musheng ignored her resistance and gently lifted her chin with one hand.

"I don't care whether you are truly stupid or just pretending to be stupid. As long as I am alive, your mission is to accompany me."

Xu Keke wanted to turn her head away to avoid his gaze, but he held her tightly.

"Your Majesty, you are too overbearing. How can you feel a sense of accomplishment by bullying someone with a dull mind?"

Chu Musheng's lips curled up into an evil smile.

"As long as the king is happy!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.

With the idea of not suffering any loss and not being passive, Xu Keke attacked Chu Musheng and seized the city.

Chu Musheng was startled and suddenly stopped. He chuckled and pushed her away.

"Keke, please don't act rashly. This prince wants to marry you off to Prince Sheng's mansion in a formal ceremony.

According to ancestral customs, the day after your wedding, a maidservant from the Grand Empress Dowager will come to inspect the veil. This will enhance your future status in the palace. You... just bear with it for a while."

Xu Keke glared at him angrily, rubbed her sore waist, and muttered softly.

"Your Highness, it was you who teased me first, and now you blame me for being so impatient?"

Chu Musheng's handsome face turned slightly red, and no trace of it could be seen in the night.

"Okay, it's my fault. I can't bear it any more than you can."

Only then did Xu Keke put on a smile, thinking that she had found a way to restrain the Regent.

She whispered in Chu Musheng's ear with a sweet smile.

"Keke will follow the prince's arrangements."

Chu Musheng nodded contentedly.

"That's great. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Xu Keke felt as if she had been pardoned and was blessed.

"Your Highness, please return home and rest early. I will take my leave."

After saying this, she ran away with the lantern in her hand, not caring about the darkness behind her and whether the prince could see the road clearly or not.

Chu Musheng looked at her departing back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

His eyesight was excellent, and he could see all of Xu Keke's little movements, which he regarded as little fun between lovers.

Xu Keke returned to the room, her heart still pounding.

Thinking about Chu Musheng's words that he would never give up until he achieved his goal, my heart felt sweet. Is this the feeling of being in love?

In this case, she was not qualified to be a psychological counselor in her previous life.

If you have never been involved in a relationship between a man and a woman, how can you have the experience to counsel others?

It's just talk, guiding us in the direction of positive energy.
