Golden Branch

When Wei Prajna said this, she looked at Lou Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

"Lou Hanzhang, you are such a gifted genius, you should be the perfect match for me!"

"But you are so superficial that you only care about appearances and found a woman who has nothing good except her beauty!"

"One day, you will find that beauty is fleeting, but talent is eternal!"

"...Lou Hanzhang, if your newlywed wife were to embarrass herself in public, would you regret your decision?"

Wei Prajna still felt too unwilling in her heart.

She is obviously the woman who is most worthy of Lou Yu. Why is it that Lou Yu, who is handsome, elegant and dignified, is also greedy for beauty like an ordinary man?

Lou Yu: ...You're sick! Who are you? The god in heaven who controls what's considered "worthy" or "unworthy"?

What does it have to do with you whether other people’s couples are a good match or not?

He seemed oblivious to the emotions swirling in Wei Prajna's eyes. Without waiting for Wang Heng to speak, he said gently, "The Fourth Prince's wife is right. Since we are one family, there is really no need for formalities."

The last time he was provoked by Prince Consort Zhou, Aheng stood in front of him.

Now that Aheng is being targeted by the Fourth Prince's wife, it's his turn to stand up for Aheng.

"The princess is not the only one who is your favorite disciple. I, a humble person, have also been learning the piano with you for many years!"

"If the Fourth Prince's wife doesn't mind, I would like to play a piece for you to enjoy!"

Lou Yu's smile was as warm as the spring breeze, but his tone was filled with irresistible persistence.

Wei Prajna was not surprised that Lou Yu "stood forward".

He is the bright moon in the sky, gentle and tolerant by nature, so he naturally stands in front of his wife.

But, does he really not feel unwilling at all?

And Wang Jiu——

Wei Prajna's gaze moved away from Lou Yu's handsome face that was not that of an ordinary person, and slid onto the woman beside him.

Wang Jiu, don’t you feel ashamed?

When encountering problems, do you always hide behind your husband?

The women of Dayu shouldn't be as useless as you!

Wei Prajna's provocative and disdainful look was so obvious that it almost became physical.

Wang Heng couldn't pretend not to see it.

She coughed lightly, and as if feeling guilty, she stretched out two white and tender fingers, gently pinched Lou Yu's sleeve and tugged, "Brother, there's no need for this. Since the Fourth Prince's wife wants to hear me play the piano, let me do it!"

Tsk, although she didn’t quite understand Wei Prajna’s train of thought, but she, Wang Heng, had been provoked to the point of being confronted. How could she, Wang Heng, retreat?

This is Lishan Academy, her territory.

She and Wei Prajna are both visiting female teachers. If she is afraid to move forward, how can she gain a foothold in the academy and convince the students?

Wang Lin is dead, and she has married the brother she trusts the most and is the most reliable. She no longer needs to hide her shortcomings.

Wei Prajna took the initiative to set up the stage, and she simply gave it her all.

After hearing what Wang Heng said, Lou Yu guessed her plan.

It's really time for Ah Heng to show herself well.

But, he also wanted everyone to know that in this world, he was the only one who was made in heaven for Aheng?

Ah Heng is so beautiful. If she can truly show her many talents, she will definitely attract countless suitors.

As an old fox who is good at scheming, Lou Yu is best at preparing for the future and nipping threats in the bud.

"Aheng, I want to play the zither. How about we play together?"

A hint of warmth flashed in Lou Yu's eyes.

He seemed to be thinking of some beautiful memories, and his originally cold and noble temperament became more tender.

Wang Heng also thought of it, and her small face, which was the size of a palm, was stained with a little pink.

A newly married couple, although they didn't say any sweet words, exuded an enviable and jealous sweet atmosphere.

If special effects were added, the two of them would be surrounded by sweet pink bubbles.

The jealousy in Wei Prajna's eyes became more and more obvious.

Her original intention was to embarrass Wang Heng, but unexpectedly, it became a tool for the couple to show their love.

The confrontation between the three people was all seen by Shen Du.

Mr. Shen is an experienced man. Although he is not married, he understands the love, hate and emotions between men and women.

A hint of interest flashed in his eyes: It's not easy. Lou Yu, who has always been calm and self-controlled and has a perfect gentleman mask, actually has this side of "my love is hidden in my heart but shown on my face".

However, as the husband of two rebellious disciples, Shen Du watched the two little ones grow up together.

He has witnessed too many "famous scenes" of the two of them staying together -

抚琴？

Well, of course you can!

Shen Du narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: It has been several years since I saw the two traitors playing the piano together. I wonder if their "piano skills" have improved over these years.

Thinking of this, a certain gentleman, who is old but young at heart, actually seemed to be "enjoying the fun".

He coughed lightly, and before Wei Prajna could speak, he smiled and said, "Han Zhang, this is a good suggestion. You are all my disciples, and you have all studied the qin with me for many years."

"In the past few years, I haven't tested your work, so I don't know whether you've improved or regressed!"

"Since we have the opportunity today, why don't you just play a song—"

Shen Du spoke to his two disciples, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Prajna.

Well, no matter what, it was the Fourth Prince’s wife who asked to play the piano.

Although Shen Du is an elder, he should not interfere too much.

Even if you intervene, you have to give the Fourth Prince's wife some respect.

Wei Prajna saw the look Shen Du was giving her. She didn't show it on her face, but she sneered inwardly: "What does Mr. Shen mean? Knowing Wang Jiu couldn't do it, he asked Lou Yu to help him cheat?"

Two people playing the piano together?

Using Lou Yu's piano music to cover up Wang Heng's, trying to make Wang Heng "fill in the gap"?

Wei Prajna had some doubts at first about Wang Heng's poor qin playing skills. After all, Wang Heng was a disciple of a famous scholar and had the ability to play the qin with her left hand. Wei Prajna had suspected that she was hiding her talent.

But, at this moment, after hearing Shen Du's words, Wei Prajna no longer had any doubts -

As a teacher, Shen Du tried his best to help Wang Heng cheat, which only proves that Wang Heng is only good at "books".

She can’t play the guqin!

"Mr. Shen's suggestion is excellent. Princess Langya and Mr. Lou are newly married, so why not invite the virtuous couple to play the zither together? The harmonious sound of the zither and the qin will be a beautiful story and an auspicious sign."

Wei Prajna received assurance from Mr. Shen and became more eager to watch the fun.

Just pretending to be fake?

Playing the qin is not the same as playing the yu, and two people are not a group of people.

Anyone with ears can tell that Wang Heng's piano skills are not good.

There is no room for falsehood!

As the "provocative", Wei Prajna spoke up and the matter was settled.

Shen Du clapped his hands and signaled his attendants to bring over the guqin he usually played.

My beloved disciple wants to play the piano, so I can't fool him.

Shen Du always cursed Wang Heng and Lou Yu as traitors, both verbally and in his heart, but he was the one who brought up both the couple.

In the eyes of Mr. Shen, who is unmarried and childless, they are his children.

Since they are your own children, you should pamper and indulge them.

Mr. Shen waved his hand, and the attendants brought in a guqin that Mr. Shen had collected for many years.

Wait, one?

Wei Prajna was originally kneeling calmly, but when she saw that the servants only brought a guqin, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Aren't there two people playing the piano together? Why is there only one?"

"Or is it that the other guqin hasn't been found yet and we need to wait a while?"

Wei Prajna was secretly puzzled and tried her best to help find excuses.

But soon, Wang Heng and Lou Yu both knelt in front of the guqin.

A young couple knelt side by side.

The two of them are one tall and one short, with a clear height difference, but they are inexplicably harmonious.

"Two people share a guqin?"

"Can you still play like this?"

Wei Prajna had seen this before. When she was learning the piano, she had played like this with her little sisters.

But, playing is just playing after all, how can we really do it like this?

Guitar strings are no different from other strings. If the same string is plucked by two different forces, it is easy to go out of tune.

"Or is it that Lou Yu has completely lost all his dignity in order to cover up for Wang Heng?"

The two of them were playing the same zither. Wang Heng was just pretending, and the one who was actually playing was Lou Yu?

This is such obvious cheating, do you really think the people present are blind or stupid?

The more Wei Prajna thought about it, the angrier she became, and her pretty face twisted for a moment.

She was about to speak when she noticed Wang Heng and Lou Yu moving.

One of them stretched out his right hand and the other stretched out his left hand.

Two hands, one big and one small, both glowing white.

Wei Prajna was stunned: What's going on? They were playing the zither together, and it looked like this?!

"Zheng!"

The two hands from the two people have obvious differences in size, but they have an incredible tacit understanding.

Big hands control the strings, small hands pluck them.

The gurgling sound of the piano flowed out instantly.

At first, everyone was still paying attention to the two hands, one big and one small, but soon they were attracted by the wonderful sound of the piano.

It is still the song "Flowing Water", but it has the lightness and agility of water.

Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes and listen attentively. They even forgot that this was a duet performed by a couple. They were completely immersed in the beautiful picture drawn by the piano music.

Only Shen Du, while twirling his beard in appreciation, could still find the mind to comment: Not bad! Not bad! The two traitors' qin skills have improved again!

Wei Prajna's expression became increasingly ugly.

This is not "flowing water" at all, it's clearly the sound of slapping someone in the face.

The one he hit was the face of the Fourth Prince's wife, the most talented woman in the capital!

Who said Wang Jiu is a beautiful waste?

Who said that Lou Yu married Wang Heng just because his elders asked for her help or because he admired her beauty?

Her performance with Lou Yu not only demonstrated that her piano skills were on par with Lou Yu's, but also showed that the two of them had a "mutual understanding".

What kind of acquaintance and understanding can lead to such a tacit understanding?

They are obviously two people, yet they can play such exquisite music as if they were one?

Lost!

She totally lost!

Wang Jiu is not a waste, but has talents that are enough to compete with Lou Yu.

Lou Yu's feelings for Wang Jiu are not simply trustworthy and lustful, but they are truly soul mates and have deep feelings for each other!

……

Star-catching tower.

It is still as lively as usual, with many guests and booming business.

But suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside, and then a young man in a crimson official robe and a leather belt around his waist strode in.

Behind him followed a dozen ferocious officials.

"...Oh my god, it's that cruel official Zhou..."
