A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"So this stunning beauty is Princess Ye," Xie Xingchen said deliberately, pursing his lips. With a faint smile, some people noticed this and followed suit. "I didn't expect Princess Ye to be so beautiful!"

"Yeah, she's not even prettier than Zhu Qingxue. How can this Third Prince have such poor taste?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Everyone was talking at once, and even though they spoke quietly, it was loud enough for others to hear. The emperor coughed awkwardly, signaling them to stop talking.

Chu Junye looked at Zhu Qingxue from the side, his face displeased. He had already told them in front of them that Yi Duo'er was unwell and had been recuperating in the mansion. She was just slapping herself in the face by bringing up Yi Duo'er. He was very dissatisfied with her behavior!

Zhu Qingxue sensed Chu Junye's remaining anger and had not expected Xie Xingchen to bring up this matter. She was only thinking about Yi Duoer's embarrassment, and now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

Yi Duoer smiled faintly, and seeing that Zhu Qingxue didn't say anything, she raised her eyes and scanned the surroundings.

"Of course, sister. Are you scared?" Zhu Qingxue's beautiful eyes met Yi Duoer's, as if challenging her. Yi Duoer smiled wickedly. Since she was pressing so hard, don't blame her for being rude.

"Alright, everyone! Since the Prime Minister's daughter has said so, I can't refuse anymore! I just learned a piece of music! I'm sending it to Zhu Qingxue, the most talented woman in our capital!"

Zhu Qingxue looked at Yi Duoer's confident attitude at this moment, which made her feel a little uneasy, as if she felt that she had not held her fart well!

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

At this moment, the eunuchs' loud shouts were heard outside the hall. Everyone looked outside and saw Chu Jingchen walking in with a swift pace. He was wearing a light blue robe embroidered with delicate black patterns, which made him particularly eye-catching. His expression was cold and resolute.

His steps were steady, and each step carried an irresistible majesty and power. His appearance made the atmosphere in the entire hall tense, and people couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Greetings to the Regent!" Everyone saluted him!

He looked at the emperor and bowed slightly. His movements were graceful and elegant. "Greetings, my royal brother!"

"Haha... You're late! You missed the wonderful performance just now!" The emperor greeted with a kind smile. Chu Jingchen simply nodded, glancing at Yi Duoer standing in the center of the hall. Seeing her beaming face, no one had suffered in her absence, he felt relieved! Yi Duoer also gave him a playful smile in return.

No one noticed the two people's little movements!

Xie Xingchen became wary from the moment he saw him come in. He saw through and cracked all his plans in Qichao.

Not only that, there was also a natural hostility towards him. Chu Jingchen felt his hostile gaze and looked towards him.

Then he walked over to him and sat down beside him. The emperor was puzzled when he saw that he did not take the upper seat.

"Prince Dongli, I hope you are doing well since we last met! Your companions must have helped you a lot when you secretly came to the capital this time. You have lived in the capital for so long, but why didn't you inform me? I should treat you, my special friend, well."

Chu Jingchen raised his glass towards Xie Xingchen with a faint smile. Xie Xingchen also raised his glass with an elegant demeanor. They both knew what the other was thinking, and they looked at each other with smiles, as if this was a contest!

Xie Xingchen immediately followed up on him.

"I can't believe the Prince Regent hasn't changed at all over the years! He's still so humorous and witty!"

The two chatted casually, testing each other's intentions. At this time, Yi Duoer had already sat down in front of the guzheng, her face radiant, and she assumed a noble and elegant posture.

Then she smiled faintly, as if she were a master of the zither. But a chaotic melody broke her disguise!

Everyone cast astonished glances at her. Zhu Qingxue's expression was extremely gentle, revealing a smug smile. "How could Yi Duo'er, a fool, even play the piano?" So, this round, she won!

Chu Junye's eyes were filled with sinisterness, and his face was extremely gloomy as he stared at Yi Duoer and those who were laughing at Yi Duoer.

In his opinion, these people were just laughing at him and making fun of him. His face was no longer just being humiliated. Instead, Yi Duoer not only threw it to the ground, but also rubbed it repeatedly!

Her hands unconsciously clenched. Chu Jingchen and Xie Xingchen were drawn to her piano music. Their faces were solemn. Chu Jingchen thought, if Duo'er wasn't proficient in the piano, she could have waited for him to come. She showed a look of rejection!

He would definitely stand up for her. Alas, it was hard for Duoer, she was forced to do something against her will!

The women around Xie Xingchen were all talented, and he had never heard such a disorganized piece of music before. A look of horror appeared on Xiujun's face.

As Yi Duo'er's music became more mellow, no one wanted to listen any longer, but they couldn't interrupt her. After all, if they forced her to stop, her reputation would be ruined! This would be even more cruel than killing her!

Yi Duoer's pink lips smiled as the tune of "Indifference" started playing, startling everyone. Suddenly, they felt her melody begin to change, becoming quite beautiful and mournful.

"Xiao San, you don't follow the right path! And then you pretend to be weak,"

"Selling your limited charm!"

"Xiao San, you are so beautiful that you fascinate other men!"

Yi Duoer's soulful singing at this time, directed to Zhu Qingxue, made her pretty face flush red with shame and anger. Yi Duoer had told her that Xiao San meant a mistress. Although other people did not understand the meaning of Xiao San, they also knew that it was not a good word.

And the lyrics she sang were very clear. They followed Yi Duoer's gaze and cast strange looks at Zhu Qingxue?

Chu Jingchen saw Yi Duoer revealing a beautiful smile, and he knew that Yi Duoer would fight back whenever she was humiliated.

Xie Xingchen looked at Chu Junye again in surprise, noticing that his expression was extremely grim, as he was forcibly suppressing the primordial power within him. He then burst into laughter! "I can't believe that the dignified King Ye would manage the harem like this... Haha... Regent, please forgive me, I really can't help it..."

Xie Xingchen is very treacherous.

Zhu Qingxue stepped forward to interrupt her, "Yi Duoer, you..."

Unexpectedly, Yi Duoer picked up the guzheng and stood up, showing a meaningful smile and whispering softly: "Didn't I ask you? Do you really want to listen to my performance?"

Zhu Qingxue glared at her fiercely, trying to stop her, but her attack was in vain. Yi Duoer continued to play the strings frantically.

"Finally, you have become someone else's mistress. From now on, you are no longer a simple little girl."

"You're trying to steal someone else's husband and get rich overnight!"

"Don't even think about it! Xiao San, you are so cheap, Xiao San, you are so cheap! Ah~~Ah~~~"

The chaotic music resounded throughout the hall, and everyone showed expressions of pain.
