Chapter 41 (2/2)
Xiao mubai raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
”Haven't you noticed his hand? It's long, thin and white. If the skin is fat, there's no cocoon that has practiced the piano at all.”
Xiao mubai thought for a while, pretending to be serious and asked him, ”Xu Wenlan, are you really good at Longyang?”
”Pooh, Pooh, Pooh.” Xu Wenlan said excitedly, ”I just watched him win Xiao Yanjun last night and wanted to know if he could play the piano, so I specially observed it.”
”So you're afraid that he won your reputation as the first player in piano.”
Xiao mubai nodded meaningfully.
Xu Wenlan's face was slightly embarrassed. Xiao mubai's remark made him feel guilty and embarrassed.
”Well, you said the little Marquis was really. He ran away after flirting. Now he is famous in the capital. Even Wu Taifu in the palace likes him very much, but he went back to the mountain to recuperate.” Xu Wenlan awkwardly turned off the topic.
”If he doesn't go again, I'm afraid the princess Li will be unable to restrain her hand.”
”This is a little marquis. Princess Li is so brave?” Xu Wenlan exclaimed.
”Open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.” Xiao mubai pondered.
”According to my observation last night, even the fourth highness didn't understand what offended the little marquis.” Xu Wenlan looked inquisitively at Xiao mubai, hoping that he could solve his doubts.
”You looked at me affectionately. Xiao Yanjun didn't know where I could find out.”
Xu Wenlan was dejected.

”Eh? Apart from the family dinner and last night, when did he meet in private?” Xu Wenlan exclaimed.
”On the first day of the new year, Lord Xia took him into the palace to explore the spring. He and his seventh brother met by chance in the imperial garden.”
When he went to visit his mother's concubine, Mu Hong told him that the little Marquis was in the corridor of the imperial garden and said to Xiao Zimu, you are different from them.
He didn't think so at that time. Now, he is also interested in the little marquis.
”Do you think they've only seen each other three times?” Xu Wenlan sighed.
Xiao mubai shook his head.
Xu Wenlan looked at the mountains outside the window and said, ”now I'm looking forward to the scenery after the little Marquis goes down the mountain.”
”If you are bullied by him, you can send a letter to complain to me.” Xiao mubai joked.
”When are you going to go back to Yucheng?” Xu Wenlan stopped playing and asked seriously.
”Early February.”
Xiao mubai's eyes also floated to the direction of Chongqing city.
”In this half month, you can come and eat with me in this drinking room every day. I want to see how your highness four buys this restaurant.”
Xiao mubai took back his eyes and turned to Xu Wenlan. Looking at the way he had never been serious for more than half a minute, he helped his forehead and scolded: ”you are sick...”
