Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 127 Charming

It seems that the queen will not give up until she achieves her goal.

Shen Beiqi glanced sideways and gave a look to the third prince Xiao Wencong.

Xiao Wencong pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I have a suggestion. Should I tell you?"

"Say it."

Emperor Hongyang put down the wine cup in his hand, already feeling a little tipsy.

"I think that Miss Shen should be enrolled in the official school to teach the zither. We in Southern Wu value music, but we are still not as good as Luo Zhu, who is proficient in both male and female music. Miss Shen is a great zither player. If she can be enrolled in the official school to teach the zither, we can definitely teach one or two outstanding students among the thousands of students. We can also win reputation for Southern Wu at future state banquets."

This is true.

The Luozhu people love to sing and dance, and both men and women are familiar with music.

But looking at Southern Wu, there are very few outstanding women, and even fewer outstanding men.

Emperor Hongyang nodded and said, "That's right. If Miss Shen San can enter the official school and teach a music theory master for Southern Wu, I will definitely reward her handsomely!"

Shen Li was terrified, "Your Majesty, I know I don't have the talent and virtue to take on this important task."

"Miss Shen San, there is no need to be modest."

Emperor Hongyang waved his hand and said, "Jinghong is the favorite of the late emperor. When he gave it to Old Lady Luo, he hoped that she could shine like the bright moon and illuminate the earth."

It's a pity that after getting married, Old Lady Luo focused entirely on her husband and son's career, and had long lost her heart for the piano.

"Now that it is destined to be with you and in your hands, you naturally have to take on the responsibility of passing on this zither art."

The responsibility of passing on the art of playing the zither is really too great.

Shen Li couldn't make up her mind and looked at Shen Beiqi beside her. He nodded slightly in response.

She took a deep breath, knelt down and said, "In this case, I will try my best. If I fail to live up to your majesty's expectations, please don't blame me."

Emperor Hongyang smiled and said, "Since you are injured, you should rest for a few days before going."

The queen's face changed slightly. She didn't expect that Xiao Wencong would push Shen Li to the official school with just a few words.

The official school was located outside the palace and was extremely famous.

Not only was the Queen unable to do anything to Shen Li, but by some strange coincidence she became the only female teacher in the Southern Wu official school.

The matter was settled just like that.

Compared to the palace school, Shen Li would rather go to the official school.

Those playboys and young masters from wealthy families are always much easier to discipline than Xiao Wushuang.

Emperor Hongyang was a little drunk, and his attendants helped him to the imperial tent to take a rest.

Someone in the crowd asked, "Why haven't we seen Miss Han?"

"I think he lost unwillingly. He didn't want to see Miss Shen San win the championship, so he hid away so that he wouldn't be bothered."

A bonfire was lit in the open space in the west, and the night was still long.

When Han Yunning woke up, he was in complete darkness and could faintly hear the sound of wind blowing the curtains.

She just felt her whole body was very dry, and someone kissed her lips beside her. She moaned, and her mind went blank in an instant...

When I regained consciousness, I felt a heavy arm on my chest.

She woke up suddenly and sat up.

The man beside her was rubbing his sleepy eyes. The curtain was blown up by the wind, and she saw the man's face clearly in the flash of firelight.

"Liang Yangrong?"

Her voice trembled. "Why are you here? And me, why am I here? We..."

Liang Yangrong sat up and held her in his arms, "Ning'er, I will report to my mother when I get home, and I will go to the Han Mansion to propose marriage tomorrow. Don't worry, I will be responsible for you!"

"Snapped--"

Han Yunning slapped him.

"Who's going to marry you?"

She hurriedly got down from the couch, picked up her clothes with trembling hands, and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.

Fortunately, there was no one else here, and fortunately no one saw us.

Liang Yangrong stepped on the ground barefoot and put his hands on her shoulders. "You have given me your virginity. If you don't marry me, do you want to marry that Shen Beiqi?"

She pushed him away, feeling extremely disgusted, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands. Even if it wasn't him, I would never marry you!"

"Wow, you really know how to pretend to be a chaste heroine!"

Liang Yangrong was furious and said, "Just now, who was it that hugged me as soon as he saw me come in and pushed me onto the couch? Why are you pretending to be so noble now?"

He walked closer to her and said sarcastically, "Didn't you scream quite loudly just now? Are you turning your back on me so quickly?"

Han Yunning's face turned pale. "You'd better not mention a word about what happened today to anyone, otherwise...your Liang family's massacre in Tongxiang will be reported to His Majesty!"

She buttoned up and left the tent.

The moonlight was like a veil, and not far outside the tent stood a girl with an elegant face.

The night wind blew the hem of her aqua blue skirt, and she looked straight at Han Yunning with a smile on her face.

Han Yunning was startled, then reacted, "It's you? You drugged me?"

"What are you talking about, Miss Han? How can you pin such a serious crime on me without any evidence?"

Shen Li smiled faintly, "I did drug it, but... I drugged my piano."

Han Yunning's eyebrows jumped, "Your piano?"

"Yes, it is the piano that was damaged by Miss Han."

Seeing Han Yunning's confused expression, she curled her lips slightly and reminded him softly,

"Didn't Miss Han notice that she was the only one who had grapes placed in her shed today?"

Grape!?

Han Yunning's pupils moved. Just now, she ordered her maid Lian'er to lurk outside Shen Li's tent and wait for an opportunity to damage Shen Li's Jinghong Qin.

At that time, I felt strange as to why Lian'er succeeded so quickly and returned to the shed.

Now it seems that this so-called "opportunity" was a trap deliberately set for her by Shen Li, waiting for her to jump in.

In order to wear out the strings of the zither, Lian'er would naturally come into contact with the zither. If the zither was poisoned by Shen Li, her fingertips would certainly be contaminated.

After returning to the pavilion, Lian'er was still waiting by her side, serving her tea and water, peeling grapes...

so...

There was a coldness in Shen Li's eyes. "How do you feel about the charming powder of Wanhua Tower, Miss Han?"

Zi Yuan was given this medicine at that time.

Nowadays, the tide has turned and retribution has come!

"You..." Han Yunning was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "Shen Li, I really can't believe that you have such a vicious mind?"

"Ah..."

Shen Li sneered, "In terms of viciousness, Miss Han is naturally more vicious! But I don't understand why you and I have to fight to such an extent? Why do you target me again and again?"

"Why?"

Han Yunning laughed so hard that he fell backwards, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Shen Li, do you know what I hate most about you? It's your pretentious, false and noble attitude!"

"Since I first saw you in Prince Rui's Mansion, I wanted to tear off your disguise. You clearly want everything, but you have to pretend to be indifferent to the world and make people feel pity for you!"

"If you really have no intention of fighting, why would Shen Beiqi break off the engagement with me because of you? If you are really calm and have no desires, how could you be so entangled with him?"
