Little Milk Girl predicts the future and criticizes the prince's father

Chapter 16 The baby is scared

The voice of Zhong Qinru, the sixth daughter of the Zhong family, attracted the attention of Princess Huarong, who was sitting on the high seat.

She glanced at Zhong Qinru faintly, and then tapped the table lightly with her slender and beautiful fingers.

This meant allowing Zhong Qinru to continue speaking.

Zhong Qinru's heart suddenly started beating like a drum.

This was the first time she faced Princess Huarong at such a close distance. Princess Huarong's aura was even more powerful than that of her aunt, the imperial concubine!

She just stood in front of Princess Huarong and she already felt a little short of breath when speaking.

But she forced herself not to get stage fright.

"Your Highness, I heard that you like music. I just happened to get a new piece of music recently and I want to present it to you."

Zhong Qinru wanted to sing a song, so the princess naturally did not refuse.

Soon, the priceless zither was placed on the table. Zhong Qinru sat in front of the zither, listening to a new piece of music that made her intoxicated.

Xu Fuxin, who also practiced the piano, bit her lip and felt that she was being outdone!

Just when Xu Fuxin was looking unwilling, Zhong Qinru, who had just finished playing a song, stood up from the piano.

She was praised by the eldest princess.

Zhong Qinru was so delighted by the eldest princess' praise that she smiled reservedly. Then, she generously invited other young ladies who could play the piano to come up and perform.

With her as a role model, any other performers are clearly just there to serve as a foil.

But in front of the eldest princess, they couldn't refuse.

When Xu Fuxin was forced to perform, perhaps because she was a little nervous, she accidentally played a wrong note.

The eldest princess recognized her mispronunciation and glanced at her.

Xu Fuxin: "..."

Xu Fuxin's face turned pale.

After she finished playing the song, Zhong Qinru immediately came to comfort her kindly.

"Third sister, you play very well."

Zhong Qinru held Xu Fuxin's hand and smiled sincerely: "When I was learning the piano before, I made more mistakes than you."

Zhong Qinru's consolation made everyone in the audience realize that Xu Fuxin's piano skills were not very good.

Xu Fuxin's expression became even uglier.

Zhong Qinru held her hand, smiled and comforted her twice, then suddenly changed the subject.

She aimed at Xu Yao who was holding Ling Suisui.

"Your Highness, Fourth Miss Xu is here today as well."

"Let Miss Xu Si play the last song for you."

After inviting Xu Yao, Zhong Qinru did not forget to remind the eldest princess.

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard that Fourth Miss Xu had seen you in the Imperial Temple."

"She is really destined to be with you."

Zhong Qinru's tone was full of envy, as if she was unaware of the true story between Xu Yao and the eldest princess.

Xu Yao was called by her name. Ling Suisui noticed her mother's nervousness. She hugged her mother tightly, put her soft lips against her mother's ears, and whispered in a baby voice, "Yaoyao, play "Chang Xiang Yi"."

Chang Xiang Yi is the song that Princess Aunt loves to listen to the most!

This song is about memories and longing.

The day before yesterday, when my mother was playing the piano, Ling Suisui was clamoring to listen to it.

The music score of Chang Xiang Yi has never been circulated. Mrs. Xu asked her parents for help, but they couldn't find the score either.

In the end, it was Ling Suisui who hummed the tune in her baby voice.

Xu Yao has a strong sense of music. She listened to Ling Suisui's humming and actually played out the complete song.

Moreover, she plays beautifully!
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, auntie, um, princess, I'm fine."

Ling Suisui rubbed her chubby little face against her mother, cheering her up.

Xu Yao listened to the tender baby voice in her ears, and she calmed down unconsciously.

"Well, I'm not afraid. Sui Sui, just sit here and wait for me obediently."

Xu Yao said this, standing up and walking forward.

Ling Suisui looked at her and followed her a few steps with his short legs.

"Stop, don't go any further."

When Zhong Qinru saw Ling Suisui catching up with her, she quickly grabbed Ling Suisui's fat arm.

Ling Suisui's arms were hurt by her grip.

"Hurry up and sit back down. Don't disturb His Highness's pleasure." Zhong Qinru's voice was very low, and the look she gave Ling Suisui was not very friendly.

Ling Suisui sensed her ill intentions and subconsciously touched her with her little hand.

When he was touched, Ling Suisui's little face trembled.

She saw her own cub in the future that was about to happen to Miss Zhong Liu!
At this banquet, it was Miss Zhong Liu who was in front of us...

She deliberately pushed the little cub Ling Suisui into the lotus pond!
Ling Suisui was drowned and bubbles were bubbling up and down.

Ling Suisui was almost drowned, and Miss Zhong Liu and Xu Fuxin on the shore started blaming Xu Yao together.

They said that Xu Yao was careless and couldn't even take care of a child!
The last scene Ling Suisui saw was——

It was her mother who jumped into the pool without hesitation to save her.

Just like when there was a fire in the East Palace, her mother ran towards her regardless of everything.

There was a "click" sound.

Ling Suisui was so frightened that she squatted on her butt.

Although she always claimed to be the bravest kid, even the bravest kid was actually only three years old.

She is still too young, and no matter how brave she is, she will be afraid.

The kid sitting on the ground pouted and looked at Zhong Qinru with tears in his chubby face.

Zhong Qinru: “…”

Zhong Qinru's face was a little dark: "Get up, I didn't bully you."

Zhong Qinru stretched out her hand and tried to pull up the tearful kid lying on the ground.

But a pair of big hands picked up the baby before she could.

"Tsk, little one, why do you look so pitiful?"

Qin Yan came over at some point, bent down, and held Ling Suisui in his arms.

As soon as Ling Suisui saw him, she immediately hugged his neck.

"Brother."

Ling Suisui put her wet little face close to him, and her baby voice sounded so aggrieved.

Qin Yan originally wanted to tease her, but when she was so close to him and called him, his heart softened for no reason.

He held Ling Suisui in his arms and simply returned to his seat.

He was seated very close to the eldest princess.

After all, the eldest princess is his aunt in terms of seniority.

"Here, eat the cake."

Qin Yan handed the pastries on his seat to Ling Suisui.

Ling Suisui sat in his arms, grabbing the cake with her two chubby little hands and stuffing it into her mouth.

The sweet pastries soothed Ling Suisui's frightened heart.

After eating a few bites, she fed the unbitten cake in her hand to Qin Yan's mouth.

"Brother, this time."

Qin Yan: “…”

Qin Yan's expression was complicated: "Brother is not very hungry."

He really couldn't eat the cake that was bitten into pieces!
The adult and the child ate cake and listened to Xu Yao's music.

Qin Yan had no appreciation for music, but he could tell that Xu Yao played very well.

"Sui Sui."

Qin Yan looked at Xu Yao who finished playing the piano and bowed to the princess. The more he looked, the more he became interested.

"You said, brother and Xu Yao——"

Before Qin Yan could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by the eldest princess on the high throne.

The eldest princess, who had been so relaxed just now, now had a cold expression on her face and asked in a stern voice: "Where did you get this music score from?!"

This poem "Chang Xiang Yi" was written by Empress Jiahui before her death.

There are only three people in the world who know this song and have the score.

Her father.

Her prince brother.

And herself.
