Chapter 338: Display of Piano Skills
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Prince Li felt more and more worried the more he drank.
At this moment, he casually glanced at the three people who were dining at the same table with him. His seventh brother had drunk a little wine and kept putting his mouth close to Miss Jiang's ear, looking shy.
He was so drunk that he couldn't hear what they were talking about, and it gave him goose bumps.
Then, the Prince Li's eyes moved to Shen Mengjia again. Looking at the girl sitting opposite him, he seemed to have thought of a way to interrupt the intimacy between the Prince Xie and Miss Jiang. He immediately said with a smile: "Miss Shen, I heard that you are not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also good at singing and dancing. Would you be so kind as to perform for the three of us?"
Shen Mengjia lowered her head shyly. Although she really didn't want to stand out, the other party was the prince. Even if he was no longer favored, she dared not offend him.
Then, she could only say softly: "I am not talented, but if His Royal Highness Prince Li and His Royal Highness Prince Xie like to listen, then I am willing to perform my ugliness."
"Good! Good!" King Li clapped his hands and immediately ordered someone to bring a guqin and place it in front of Shen Mengjia.
Shen Mengjia gently stroked the strings of the piano, and the beautiful sound flowed out like a gurgling stream.
She opened her red lips and sang a soft and melodious song.
The singing was melodious and ethereal, like the sound of nature, which intoxicated everyone present.
The Evil King wanted to stay with Jiang Yimo for a while longer, but he didn't expect the Li King to be so tactless and interrupt them. He felt a little unhappy, but since there was an outsider here, he couldn't lose his temper and had to endure it for the time being.
Unexpectedly, his daughter Momo also likes to listen to other people playing the piano.
When the song ended, Prince Li and Jiang Yimo applauded and cheered.
"Miss Shen is truly multi-talented!" Prince Li praised her.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Shen Mengjia bowed slightly.
After the meal, the Evil King immediately asked Leng Mei and the King Li’s personal guards to send the King Li back to the palace safely.
Afterwards, he carefully arranged two other guards with high martial arts skills to escort Shen Mengjia back to the mansion safely.
Feng Wuhen watched Li Wang and Shen Mengjia walk farther and farther away until they disappeared from his sight, and he immediately revealed a smug smile.
He couldn't help but stretch out his arms, gently hugged Jiang Yimo's slender waist again, and whispered softly in her ear: "Momo, don't you like playing the piano? In fact, I know a thing or two! And I can guarantee that my piano skills are definitely much better than that Shen Mengjia!"
Jiang Yimo was stunned when she heard this, and it took her two seconds to come back to her senses. She looked at Feng Wuhen with suspicion and asked in disbelief, "My Lord, I didn't expect that you can even play the piano?"
However, Feng Wuhen showed no concern and said with a calm smile: "How difficult is this? You know, not only am I good at this, but even my master's piano skills are superb and have reached the pinnacle! He can even reach the realm of killing the enemy invisibly with the sound of the piano!"
When Jiang Yimo heard his words, her mouth suddenly opened wide, as if an egg could fit in it, forming a perfect O shape.
She widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and secretly exclaimed in her heart: Oh my God! I never thought that Master Feng Wuhen's piano skills would be so high, and he could kill people with his music.
In modern times, he had only seen such scenes in movies, but he never expected that they would actually exist in this era.
She couldn't help but feel more curious and expectant about Feng Wuhen's master, and said eagerly: "So amazing! You must play it for me when you are free someday. And Your Majesty, who is your mysterious master? I am so curious, can you tell me more about him?"
There was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes, and she was eager to know more about the story behind Feng Wuhen.
"Yes, but I cannot reveal his identity to you. I swore an oath in front of my master. Momo, I hope you can understand."
Jiang Yimo chuckled and didn't think it mattered.
"What's the matter? I'm not curious about his identity. Just tell me if you want to."
Feng Wuhen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Yimo didn't mind him hiding his master's identity.
So he patiently told Jiang Yimo about the days when he learned skills from his master in the mountains.
During those years, he got up early and went to bed late every day, practicing hard, just to master the skills taught by his master as soon as possible; his master was strict but kind, and often taught him the principles of life and how to deal with the world.
Jiang Yimo was fascinated by what she heard, as if she were there herself. The two of them sat in the Wutong Courtyard and chatted until very late.
When Feng Wuhen stopped talking, Jiang Yimo also mentioned to Feng Wuhen that she was going to Yunlai Villa in two days.
She originally just wanted to chat casually, but she didn't expect Feng Wuhen's reaction to be so big.
Feng Wuhen's face suddenly turned dark, and a barely perceptible worry flashed in his eyes.
He frowned tightly and pursed his lips, as if trying hard to suppress his inner anxiety.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Yunlai Villa? It's not a fun place. Why do you want to go there?"
Jiang Yimo smiled lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Something happened in Master Xie's family. His mother is sick and his sister was poisoned and became mute. I will go and treat them. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
However, Feng Wuhen did not think so, because he had heard about Yunlai Villa a long time ago and knew how complicated the current situation in Yunlai Villa was, so he would never let Jiang Yimo go alone.
Finally, he couldn't get over Jiang Yimo's insistence, so he said coldly: "If you must go to Yunlai Villa, you must let me go with you. Otherwise, I will never agree to you taking the risk alone."
His tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Jiang Yimo looked at his serious expression and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She knew that Feng Wuhen really cared about her and loved her, and even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still chose to stay with her.
"Okay, let's quickly arrange the things on hand and leave in two days."
Feng Wuhen nodded.
Then, Jiang Yimo remembered something else.
"Oh, Your Majesty, before I leave, I would like to visit Prince You's Mansion."
"No, Prince You's Mansion is heavily guarded. If we are discovered..." Jiang Yimo interrupted him halfway through his words.
"No, I have my own space." She said confidently.
"That won't work unless I go with you." He looked at her firmly.
"..." Jiang Yimo sighed helplessly, wondering why this man was so stubborn, but seeing how persistent he was, she finally nodded and agreed to his request.
Later, Feng Wuhen said again: "I will go with you tomorrow night. King You went out yesterday."
"Okay, but have you ever asked where King You went?" Jiang Yimo asked.
"I asked someone to inquire, and all we know is that King You went on a long journey, but no one knows where exactly he went." Feng Wuhen frowned, seeming dissatisfied with the result.
