C616 Deja vu (1/2)

This person, this scene, had a familiar feeling to him. And this feeling seemed to come from far away.

Feng Qianyue, who was opposite of him, raised his wine cup and placed it to his lips as he slowly savored the taste. The night candle light fell upon his angular face, and a trace of gloominess condensed within his eyes.

”Something has happened to Lian Lian Fang, Lian Xiang is rushing back to the house, many people want to see the Lian family become a joke, but Lian Meng Yue is still so calm. She is telling others that nothing will happen to Lian Lian family. She's not that old, but it's rare for her to be so calm and magnanimous. It's just a pity that she's still not getting along with Fourth Prince. ” Beside him, the Tenth Prince, Feng Rong, shook his head in regret as his gaze fell on Lian Meng Yue.

”How about you marry her?” Feng Qianyue said.

”Puchi …” Feng Rong instantly spat out as he looked at Feng Qianyue in astonishment. ”Fourth Royal Brother, I still don't plan on getting married.”

”You have to make your plans. Tenth royal brother, if you don't, then there's no room for your plans. Think of becoming a concubine.” Feng Qianyue drank the wine in his cup and said.

The expression on Feng Rong's face slowly froze, and the hand holding the wine cup slowly exerted force.

”At the moment, I have the Duke of Xiao. If you had a courier, what would happen in the imperial court?” Feng Qianyue pursed his lips and took another sip of wine, a faint smile on his lips.

At this time, a song, ”One Cut Plum”, ended. The woman put down her lute, and the hall was filled with this sad and lingering music for a long time.

The moment the woman raised her head, Zhou Chengdi was startled and stood up. His gaze fell on the woman's face and was attracted by the cinnabar mole on her forehead. He muttered, ”Zining …”

However, just as he stood up and was about to approach her, the lady holding the lute had already retreated and disappeared.

Zhou Chengdi was startled. Then, he slowly sat back down and muttered to himself,

”I must be seeing things …”

By the side, both the imperial concubine Xu Xian and the imperial concubine Liang noticed the change in Emperor Zhou's expression. They looked at each other, and the imperial concubine asked gently, ”Did the emperor suddenly think of something?”

”No, no …” Zhou Chengdi sat down and said as he looked at the place where the woman was playing.

Xu Xianfei and Royal Concubine Liang looked at each other — what was going on? The Emperor looked unusual.

Xu Xianfei shot a look at the mama by her side, telling her to find the person who had just played the zither. Since it was the emperor's intention, she had to find a way to send it to the emperor's side.

She had a rare cinnabar mole on her brow. That cinnabar mole made her look like a pure white porcelain doll.

When Zhou Cheng Di saw her face, he suddenly stood up. Due to the distance between them, she couldn't see the expression on his face …

After the banquet had ended, Lian Ruyue thought back to that lute playing girl from tonight in her mind.

”Cold brow.”

Just as she finished her sentence, Leng Mei walked in one after the other — ”Eldest Miss.”

”At today's banquet, go investigate the woman who sang 'Cut Plum'.”

”Yes.”

That night, in the middle of the night, a melodious and mournful sound of a lute could be vaguely heard from within the villa. Zhou Chengdi woke up from his dream and stood up.

Imperial Concubine Liang noticed the commotion and hurriedly followed suit. She grabbed a bright yellow cloak and draped it over his shoulders, saying, ”Your majesty, what's wrong with you?”
