    132. Cups of World Taste From Him

    The Marquis Chengen next to him saw that Pei Nianyu was so rarely interested and stopped to listen for a moment, his heart that had been clenching so tightly was finally relieved a little.

    Although this prince was accused by the late emperor as assistant to the government for two years before he ascended the throne today, his behavior style at that time was calm and cautious, and nothing could be seen.Later, after becoming the prince, he hardly ever went out for three years, and Marquis Chengen couldn't find out some special hobbies.

    Now he has decided to seduce him with snacks and piano music based on the few words circulating in Capital City. He is lucky and right.

    Seeing the prince sitting down, he calmed down a bit, and while gesturing to the maid standing beside him, he sat on the seat beside him.

    Leaning on the fence and waterside pavilion, with the sound of the piano playing beside him, if the prince is willing to talk to him, then everything will be easy to talk about.He beckoned for the maids to serve tea, but Lou Yefeng blocked him with his hand, and took over the duty of serving tea involuntarily.

    Old Hou Ye knew that the shadow guards had to test the poison, so he didn't think much about it.However, Pei Nianyu felt that the man in black was silently standing by his side, his aura was as calm as usual, but he himself suddenly felt guilty for no reason.

    Lou Yefeng was used to pouring tea like this.After brewing a pot of clear tea like flowing clouds and flowing water, after testing the poison with silver needles, Lou Yefeng bowed from the side of the seat, and offered the teacup with both hands.

    Pei Nianyu couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

    On weekdays, when the two of them were chatting alone, Lou Yefeng would pour tea for him from time to time, but his movements gradually got used to it.This represents the full set of etiquette for serving servants...

    Although he understood that Lou Yefeng was acting as he should in front of outsiders, to prevent others from underestimating the rules of the palace, it still made Pei Nianyu feel blocked.

    However, it was his own decision to sit and listen to the piano, and it was not good for him to walk away as soon as his butt touched the chair, so he had to take the teacup over sullenly.

    Not long after, the maid brought another middle-aged man over and gave Pei Nianyu a big gift."Miyazato

    "My lord, this is Rui Quan, a peddler from the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the first emperor spent some money and food for the palace, he was in charge of liaising with the weaving and cloth business in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Pei Nianyu thought in his heart, isn't that the Emperor Shang.

    Although the middle-aged man tried his best to dress plainly, the styles and patterns were indeed fashionable in Jiangnan, and the materials were all fresh silk and satin.It's just that although she was well dressed, she couldn't hide the anxious and haggard look on her brows.

    Rui Quan respectfully performed the great gift to meet the prince. Although his family has strong financial resources, but the businessman's status is low after all, and this time he has a request from his two brothers.

    However, Pei Nianyu suddenly became interested, not for Rui Quan, but... The reason for his distressed expression was obviously related to the recent shocking moves made by Pei Niancheng in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    These people have been doing business for so many years, and naturally none of them are clean.Piansheng's younger brother released rumors that he seemed to intend to thoroughly investigate a group of people. His family's life was in danger, so naturally he had to surrender quickly.

    Pei Nianyu thought of what his younger brother told him during the Chinese New Year about his relationship with the Chengenhou Mansion.So he thought to himself that he could save some face and make their family feel at ease, so that they could continue to send money to his younger brother continuously.

    So he nodded slightly, motioning for him to be free from courtesy.

    …………………

    After Rui Quan was seated, he took the initiative to introduce:

    "Xiaguan's adopted daughter, Miss Liu Yun, grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Although she has learned the art of piano a few years ago, she has been growing up in a boudoir. She is now eighteen years old. A few days ago, Xiaguan came to Capital City to contact a group of businessmen.She insisted on coming with me, saying she wanted to see Capital City."

    Pei Nianyu could hear the implication - she grew up in a deep boudoir, which meant that this woman had never been touched.

    However, it has become a popular thing in the south of the Yangtze River to raise this kind of lean horse as a nominal "adopted daughter", and to send it to those high-ranking officials and nobles as concubines when they are ready to leave the court.

    Most of the recipients are high-ranking and deep courtyards, and it is impossible to accept those women in the court of love and moon.

    "The music is good, and the qin is of the highest quality. If my king's ears are not dull, this girl Liu Yun's qin is probably a plum-patterned banana-leaf qin. It sounds like a hundred years, and the sound is really simple."

    "My lord is good at hearing. Miss Liu Yun's Banana Leaf Qin is a family treasure, so she doesn't move easily. Today I know that my lord must be a bosom friend, so I invited the clear sound of this qin to be born."

    Lou Yefeng heard the two discussing the pros and cons of the qin and the mysteries of the qin music, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.How did he know that this old master Hou is a layman who doesn't know how to play the piano, he made a mistake when he introduced the music earlier, and Pei Nianyu was just perfunctory.

    He lowered his head and looked at the teacup held in the master's jade fingers, turning it slowly and gracefully, thinking in his heart that these are the things that really interest the master.

    Then he thought of the days when his master stayed behind closed doors in the palace a few years ago, painting and playing the piano every day, and he just watched quietly in the dark.At that time, he didn't understand these things at all, but he was calm in his heart, and he didn't make any waves because of it.

    today...

    Lou Yefeng glanced vaguely at the graceful figure behind the screen, and unconsciously lost his mind for a moment.Playing the piano or something... The subordinate really can't talk to the master.

    Pei Nianyu thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

    "I heard that in the music of this Liu Yun girl, there are a few techniques in the piano that are not like the Jiangnan style, but are quite similar to those of Master Fan a few years ago..."

    The woman behind the screen naturally heard the conversation here, her fingering suddenly froze for a moment, and the song was wrong by a few beats, but she quickly covered it up.The rest of the people didn't hear it, but Pei Nianyu could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but look at the screen in surprise.

    Master Fan has been a prodigy for decades, but after a few years in the Imperial Academy, he hated officialdom, so he resigned and retired.He built a Zhuangzi in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, and only played the piano and drank wine with his friends every day. Later, his skills became more advanced, and he became the leader of the piano altar.

    When Pei Nianyu was the prince, he was already in his sixtieth year, and he was once invited to be a professor.In addition to the classics, Pei Nianyu admired Master Fan's piano skills even more, so he devoted himself to learning it for several years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the closed disciple of Master Fan.

    It's just that Master Fan has been living in Capital City, and the technique of Miss Liu Yun's music has some traces of Fan Shi, although it is very simple, it is unique.

    But isn't this Liu Yun girl from Jiangnan?

    Previously, Pei Nianyu knew that this woman was just a Yangzhou skinny horse raised as a gift, so there was nothing special about her superb piano skills.Anyway, these skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, poetry, and poetry are all specially trained by the breeders.

    These skinny horses don't do anything else every day, but just cram in the skills of entertaining others, how can they not learn it?Playing it for several hours a day, the natural piano skills are superb.

    So he didn't pay half his attention to her.

    Seeing the reaction of the Liu Yun girl at this moment, it seems that she really has something to do with Master Fan, so she finally couldn't help raising her head to observe the figure behind the screen carefully.

    After looking at it, realized that although the Liu Yun girl behind the screen is a woman, her figure does not have the feeling of weakness like a weak Liu Fufeng.The movements of playing the piano are quite generous, with three points of elegance and seven points of heroism in every gesture.

    Pei Nianyu's heart was full of surprises and doubts. This kind of demeanor was really not comparable to those ordinary skinny horses who were raised to entertain people with sex.

    ——Could it be true that it has something to do with Master Fan?

    But how could Master Fan's disciples end up in such a state?

    …………………

    Pei Nianyu was only concentrating on exploring at the moment, while Lou Yefeng next to him could only see his master's rapt and focused eyes, staring at the slight movement of Liu Yun girl's brows and eyebrows, and there was a muffled "boom" in his heart.

    Master... Master... Could it be...?

    If the master and this girl Liu Yun are really destined to be brothers and sisters, and this girl Liuyun's piano skills seem to be deeply loved by the master, wouldn't it be...

    Lou Yefeng bowed and stood by his side, watching the master who was close at hand staring at the woman intently, and the sound of the zither flowing in the ears was endless.He also thought that he was just a shadow guard who didn't understand the style at all, and felt a tight pain in his chest for a moment, unable to speak.

    In the past so many years, although his affection for his master was deep in his heart, he hid it well.He also said that he kept the shadow guard's heart, and he was very determined.

    However, today found out that it was just because the master was carrying peach blossom Gu, so he was not allowed to get close to female sex!

    That's right, the master's Peach Blossom Gu has been undone, so he can naturally enjoy the beauty of the world.

    Lou Yefeng closed his eyes for a moment, and couldn't help pinching his fingers tightly into his palm.

    But at this time, Pei Nianyu's tea cup bottomed out, so he casually put the tea cup on the small table at hand.Lou Yefeng was about to lift the pot to pour tea, but found that his hands were shaking violently.

    He was in a mess, and the more he wanted to calm down, the more he couldn't. Hearing the disturbed breath in his ear, Pei Nianyu suddenly came back to his senses, and turned his head to look to the side.

    But when he saw his Ye Feng's faintly trembling hands, his brows were filled with embarrassment.

    Pei Nianyu felt a sudden pain in his heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

    He seems to have... overplayed his hand.

    What is he doing... Sitting in front of the hall, letting Ye Feng serve him and watch all of this?

    Pei Nianyu suddenly felt guilty, and just wanted to make a sound to leave the banquet.Unexpectedly, when Lou Yefeng saw his master staring at him, he was out of his mind and thought that the master had seen his panic and those vague thoughts of jealousy, his hand trembled, and he knocked the spout of the pot over the teacup.

    With the sound of the teacup shattering, hot water instantly flowed across the table.

    There was a sudden silence all around.Miss Liu Yun's piano sound also stopped.

    Lou Yefeng's mind suddenly went blank.

    When the matter came to an end, Lou Yefeng quickly calmed down.He followed in as the prince's attendant, but something went wrong.He saw the old Marquis and the others looking at him in surprise, and knew that the most important thing now was not to lose face to the prince.

    So Lou Yefeng quickly knelt down:

    "The subordinates are stupid, please punish the master."

    Pei Nianyu's face darkened completely, and he slapped the fan on the table heavily.

    The hearts of several people around trembled.

    Lou Yefeng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his master, he also thought that the master was angry, so he couldn't help closing his eyes, just waiting for the master to get angry.

    Pei Nianyu felt extremely distressed for a moment.

    Of course he knew what Lou Yefeng meant, but...he was angry because of what Lou Yefeng meant.

    Of course Pei Nianyu won't really get angry with him, but it's not easy to pull him up in front of outsiders, hug him and comfort him, so he can only calmly say:

    "...It's okay, get up."

    "…yes."

    Although the old Hou Ye next to him didn't know what was going on, he still hurriedly smoothed things over:

    "It's common for people who practice martial arts to be unaccustomed to serving tea and pouring water. You don't have to worry about it..."

    After this encounter, Pei Nianyu had no intention of sitting down anymore, and just wanted to go back quickly to comfort Ye Feng of his family.So he said in a somewhat blunt tone:

    "My king's clothes were a little wet, so I sat down soon. What Rui Quan said, this king will truthfully reply to His Majesty."

    After finishing speaking, he lifted his robe and stood up immediately.

    "This……"

    Pei Nianyu left abruptly, the old Marquis was obviously unable to make any sense of the matter, but naturally he couldn't force the prince to stay here.

    Moreover, the prince has already left a message saying that he will tell His Majesty about the matter, so the purpose of this invitation has been achieved.So old Marquis had no choice but to get up immediately, bowed respectfully and saluted, and said:

    "Yes, I will send you off to the prince respectfully."

    Then he turned his head towards the inside of the screen:

    "Miss Liuyun, why don't you come out and salute the prince?"

    Pei Nianyu was anxious, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed:

    "No need, this king will..."

    Before the words finished, saw the Liu Yun girl lightly moving out from behind the screen with lotus steps.

    Pei Nianyu glanced at it, but his voice stopped abruptly.

    This Liuyun girl...

    Pei Nianyu gasped, and subconsciously turned to look at the person beside him.

    In Lou Yefeng's eyes, there was also the same look of surprise.
