Chapter 10 Strong
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw another young man in a dark red robe walking in from outside the hall. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes like a cut-cut peach eyes, and three thousand black hairs were still half wrapped around his shoulders.
Compared to Shangguan Hanchi's clothes, the prince's clothes seemed more casual.
The moment he saw the other person, Mu Zichen was stunned. The elegant boy was no one else, but the person he had seen in the fire last night. "Ye Kongming, why is it you?" Mu Zichen immediately stood up and shouted.
Seeing that Mu Zichen got up without permission, Mu Boyan hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, "Chen'er, don't be rude. This is His Highness, the Sixth Prince of Qianling Kingdom."
"Sixth Prince?" Mu Zichen was stunned again.
It turns out that he is the VIP guest of the General's Mansion today.
Shangguan Xuanxi narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Mu Zichen with a smile and said, "Miss Chen'er, we're meeting again."
Mu Zichen stared at the other person's face. Maybe it was too dark last night and she didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but this sound full of low magnetic properties made people unconsciously have infinite imagination. From last night to today, this sound has flashed countless times in her mind.
Her fair skin, a handsome face, and a thin lips as pink as petals, are attracting Mu Zichen's attention at this moment. Although the other person looks unruly, the light that appears inadvertently in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him.
As he looked, a hint of blush appeared on Mu Zichen's face.
Could it be that this is what is called a glance at ten thousand years?
No, no, how could I fall in love with an ordinary mortal? Even if he is a prince of the Thousand Spirit Kingdom, he would not be with him.
Thinking of this, Mu Zichen pinched the back of his hand vigorously, and then he felt slightly relieved.
"What? Miss Chen'er has fallen in love with me? She can't even blink her eyes." Shangguan Xuanxi smiled evilly and said deliberately.
"It turns out that he is still a frivolous person." Mu Zichen murmured to herself, and as she said, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Your Highness is really narcissistic. If you don't look at me, how can you know that I've been looking at you all the time?"
"You..." Shangguan Xuanxi choked at the other party's words, "What a sharp-tongued girl."
"Chen'er, stop talking! Why don't you apologize to the Sixth Prince!" Mu Boyan shouted. Mu Zichen and Shangguan Xuanxi had only said less than a few words, which made him feel worried.
Shangguan Hanchi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help laughing: "What a wise girl, who can actually beat our eloquent Sixth Prince to the point of being speechless. Lao Liu, you have met an opponent."
"..." Mu Zichen glanced at Shangguan Hanchi. This sounded like he was praising people, but he always felt uncomfortable.
Seeing that the two princes were focused on Mu Zichen alone, Mu Aoxue was immediately anxious, but she didn't dare to rush up directly to talk to the two princes like Mu Zichen, and could only smash the ground with her fists in anger.
At this time, Mu Zichen lowered his eyes slightly, held the hairpin on his head with his bare hands, pretending to be aggrieved and said, "The little woman has never seen any world before. She accidentally bumped into the two of your high men. Please don't bother with the little women. The little woman must be careful when she speaks next time."
Shangguan Xuanxi smiled again. He walked to Mu Zichen, looked down at her and said, "The girl changed her face faster than reading a book. She looked arrogant just now. Why did she become a weak little girl in a blink of an eye?"
While speaking, he picked up the white folding fan in his hand and casually plucked the long fluttering hair in front of Mu Zichen's forehead.
Mu Zichen quickly regained her expression as she should have. She raised her eyes and looked at the other party's phoenix eyes and whispered: "Sixth Prince, please respect yourself. I don't like others to touch me. Please don't shake your fan in front of me."
Shangguan Xuanxi smiled with an evil eye, took another step forward, and then continued in his low and magnetic voice: "Do you know Miss Chen'er? Who would have been so excited if the girls kneeling below were flipping their hair like this? You dare to reject me?"
Mu Zichen looked at the other party coldly: "I don't care. Your Highness, if you treat me like this again, don't blame me for being rude."
Shangguan Xuanxi smiled carelessly, "Anyway, you can't beat me, so what can you do to me?"
"You... can you be more shameless?!" Mu Zichen's face changed, as if he was angry and embarrassed.
Shangguan Xuanxi turned his body sideways, looked at Mu Zichen, blinked, and then said with a smile: "You made me angry just now. Now I am angry with you, so we can be considered equal."
After saying that, he turned around and came to Shangguan Hanchi and chuckled and said, "Second brother, we are just talking. Forget that everyone is still polite. Let them get up quickly."
Shangguan Hanchi realized that everyone in the big room was still kneeling, so he hurriedly called everyone to get up.
Everyone stood up slowly, but their eyes remained on Shangguan Xuanxi and Mu Zichen. Everyone in the hall could hear the conversation between them clearly. Mu Boyan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know when his daughter began to become so strong.
Seeing the two princes sitting in the main seat, Mu Boyan hurriedly signaled his eldest daughter Mu Aoxue to pour tea for them with his eyes.
Mu Aoxue smiled and walked to the two princes with two cups of steaming tea cups in her hand. While kneeling on one knee, she said softly: "Two Your Highnesses, please use tea!"
Shangguan Hanchi first took the tea cup. As soon as he opened the tea lid, a faint tea fragrance came to his nose. "I'm sorry, Miss Mu." Shangguan Hanchi said with a smile.
"Miss Mu?" Mu Aoxue was stunned. Sure enough, the other party still didn't remember her name.
Seeing Mu Aoxue still stunned, Shangguan Hanchi asked more: "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the girl?"
"No, no problem, Your Highness, the little girl's name is Mu Aoxue, she is twenty years old this year and is the legitimate daughter of General Mu Boyan's family." Mu Aoxue was anxious and couldn't help but take the initiative to tell her name and age.
Shangguan Hanchi smiled and said, "Mu Aoxue? It turns out that you are Heng Ming's sister and are pretty good-looking. When you were in Jialan Academy, your brother often mentioned you to us, and he said you are the best at playing the piano."
Hearing the other party’s praise, Mu Aoxue smiled slightly, “How dare you compare to your highness’s piano skills with your Highness, but if your Highness is interested, Aoxue can play a few songs for your Highness on the spot to help you liven up.”
Before Shangguan Hanchi could speak, Shangguan Xuanxi, who was standing beside him, answered, "It's so boring to play alone. Second brother, how about we have a piano skills competition?"
"Tsk... to compete?" Mu Aoxue was stunned.
As soon as he heard the competition, Shangguan Hanchi suddenly became interested, "Sixth brother, tell me quickly, how are you going to play?"
Shangguan Xuanxi glanced outside the door and said thoughtfully: "I just saw a maple leaf tree outside the hall. In this way, you and I will choose a girl in the hall as an assistant. We will compete in piano skills. Within one stick of incense, which side of the sound blade shoots down the most maple leaf, which side wins. The girl on the winning side can make a request to us at will."
Shangguan Hanchi glanced at Shangguan Xuanxi, "Sixth brother, you have a fourth level higher than me, that's not fair."
Shangguan Xuanxi smiled and glanced at the hall and said, "If the second brother thinks it is unfair, you can find a girl with cultivation and practicing piano skills from the girls present as an assistant. I will just find a girl with zero cultivation as an assistant. I wonder if this is considered equal?"
When Shangguan Hanchi heard this, he immediately agreed to his younger brother's statement. After scanning the crowd, his eyes finally stopped on Mu Aoxue in front of him: "I wonder if Miss Aoxue is interested in playing this game with me?"
Mu Aoxue had been waiting for the other party to say this long ago. When he heard the other party read his name, he nodded and agreed: "Aoxue was willing to be with His Highness."
"Okay, then you."
"Thank you, Aoxue will prepare now." Mu Aoxue said happily.
As soon as she turned around and left, Shangguan Hanchi looked at Shangguan Xuanxi beside her, "Sixth brother, where are you? Which girl do you like?"
Shangguan Xuanxi smiled lightly, turned his eyes to Mu Zichen below, then gently opened his red lips and said slowly, "Girl, come here!"
Seeing the other person's eyes falling on her, Mu Zichen quickly lowered her head. She wanted to pretend that she didn't hear the other person's call, but the next second, Shangguan Xuanxi's figure flashed directly in front of her, "Girl, I'm talking to you, why do you ignore it?"
Mu Zichen took a breath, raised his eyes and said lightly: "Your name is girl, there is such a girl below, I don't know who you are calling."
Shangguan Xuanxi suddenly smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Mu Zichen's ear and said softly: "I never call anyone easily. Besides, is Mu Zichen really your name?"
Hearing the other party's words, Mu Zichen's eyes tightened. She glanced at Shangguan Xuanxi's face and asked in a low voice: "I thought something was wrong with you when you mentioned my father last night. Tell me quickly, do you know something?"
Shangguan Xuanxi smiled evilly: "Girl, you can play this game with me. If I am happy, I may tell you something."
"Okay, I promise you." Mu Zichen agreed without thinking.
...
Half past Si.
Everyone moved outside the main hall.
There was a beautiful scene in the courtyard, and the bright sunshine shone down. Because it was late autumn, the sunlight was not so dazzling. On the path in the courtyard, maids wearing light pink skirts were walking by from time to time.
On the east side of the courtyard, two huge sycamore trees stand there, with dark green and yellow leaves.
