Chu Xuohua didn't feel anything about himself, he only felt that it was a pity for Yue'er.

"What the hell are you doing? When did my throat feel uncomfortable? If you make a move, I believe that big sister Xin Xin's lute might not end up well.

There was a look of pity on his face.

Chu Yuehua laughed, "Why is elder sister hiding her abilities?"

I'm already thirteen years old, so if we say I'm not shy, then I can already say I'm old. But you're still young, and if you take the top spot, everyone will only think you're talented. If it's me, then I have no idea how deep the depth of your talent is, and I have the intention to show it off.

Hearing her elder sister's words, Chu Yuehua's gaze fell on Zhou Ruxin. She was already fourteen this year, and hadn't spoken of her family yet.

Even Zhou Ruyun, who had caused the most trouble, was only twelve years old …

Lady Deng's thoughts could clearly be seen. It was a pity that Zhou Ruxin was still in the dark and wholeheartedly wanted to please her mother.

Actually, that was not the reason why Chu Yuehua did not make a move. She knew that she would meet someone in the future. If it wasn't for that person, perhaps she wouldn't have needed to go to the marriage alliance in her previous life.

The old lady disliked the small size of the house and the fact that the weather was not too hot, so she arranged the rooms in the courtyard for a while. A group of ladies were chatting together.

When they saw them coming over, all of them revealed smiles. Then, they pulled this and that to introduce them to each other.

"We clearly heard all the movements from your side just now. This bamboo pipe is indeed complete, even the girls are so young, but we are already old, so we can't compare to you!" The old lady said with a smile.

After another round of praise from the ladies, someone asked, "Were you competing just now? Who got the top spot? "

Chu Yuehua and Chu Xuohua stood beside the old lady, not saying a word.

In the end, it was still Miss Mo who laughed, "It's the Third Miss of Hou Mansion. With her lute, Rong'er is impressed!"

"Oh!" Come here, let me take a look! " The one who spoke was the wife of the Minister of Revenue. She looked to be in her fifties, and her face was full of smiles.

Zhou Ruxin gave a slight bow, then walked over with a bashful smile.

Madam Shang immediately pulled out a Laisi Golden Phoenix from her hair and presented it to her. "You can consider this your reward!"

The others also followed suit. Finally, the old lady smiled and said, "Since I've been rewarded by the ladies, I have to play one for them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to give them their things?"

After saying this, everyone laughed. Zhou Ruxin did not refuse, but seriously played "Magpie Treading on a Branch". As expected, it was skillfully done, but it was still not enough.

Chu Yuehua's gaze was fixed on the door, and as expected, the song ended. Someone stood outside the door's screen and said in a clear voice, "Old lady, your grandson is here to offer his birthday."

Hearing this voice, the ladies tried to avoid it.

Someone then continued, "The one reading for the Crown Prince?"

"That's him!" The Old Granny smiled. Zhou Zhaheng could be considered to be another person close to the Imperial Family besides his concubine, Zhou Ruyi. The Old Granny was also very happy in her heart. "Come in!"

As expected, a young man walked in. Although he hadn't fully opened his eyes, his appearance was already refined.

However, what the crowd did not expect was that there was a slightly younger youth beside him who had a noble aura flowing through his body.

Finally, Madam Shang Shu was the first to react. "Chenqie greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses. With a hualala sound, the entire group kneeled down, while Chu Yuehua was also pulled down to his knees by Chu Xinhua.

On the other hand, the crown prince had a helpless look on his face as he hurriedly made everyone rise. "Today, I was just casually walking out with Zhao Heng. I didn't alarm anyone, so please don't be so courteous, ladies and gentlemen."

Chu Yuehua secretly let out a breath of relief. That day, she was the one who had stood at Zhou Ruxin's position and played a "Han-Yi Tune".

From then on, the crown prince would occasionally visit the loyal duke's estate. Afterwards, even the empress had been alarmed, thinking that she had seduced the crown prince, which was why they had a marriage alliance.

In this life, he had finally avoided it.

Could it be that this time, it would be the Heart of Tranquil Water?

However, things did not go as she had expected. The crown prince had only met with the crowd for a short while before turning his head away. The old lady quickly ordered Zhou Quan to greet them properly.

On the other hand, Zhou Ruxin and Zhou Ruyi were still looking in the direction in which the crown prince had left.

Chu Yuehua was shocked. Looking at the other girls, there were indeed quite a few who were the same as the two of them.

If that was the case, then it was reasonable that she wasn't well liked in the manor afterwards.

After the matting at noon, the afternoon was still like all the other gatherings, having a meeting and listening to plays and the like.

Chu Yuehua had never liked these things, so after listening for a while, she yawned.

Chu Xuanhua found it funny, "If you're bored, then go back inside your room and rest for a while! You didn't sleep well last night, did you? "

Indeed, he had a nightmare last night.

Now that she had avoided the part with the crown prince, she was no longer as tense as she was in the morning. Upon hearing Chu Xuhua's words, she nodded her head.

The stage was set for the garden outside the study. It was wide, but far from where Chu Yuehua lived. In order to avoid meeting any male guests, she brought Du Ruo along a small path.

This was a bamboo forest, and there were few people here.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone speaking.

"You have a lot of family, but the house seems a little small."

"That's right!" Father is planning to expand the area further back, otherwise when all the brothers are married, there will be no more place to live. "

Chu Yuehua's heart tightened, it was not as if she still couldn't get around this crown prince!

He didn't care too much about it at the moment, he just picked up his skirt and ran.

Who knew that the Crown Prince and Zhou Ziheng would come this way at this moment? Chu Yuehua was anxious, and seeing a nearby alley, she couldn't care about the weeds as she swiftly slipped in. On the other hand, Du Ruoruo was baffled.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into a person. Chu Yuehua hurriedly took two steps back and raised her head to see a twenty-two year old man wearing a raven green robe. He only used a sandalwood hairpin to pin his hair, but his eyes were like pearls, illuminating the depths of one's heart.

When he was close to her, he could smell a faint fragrance, but it was not a fragrance. It seemed to be the fragrance of some kind of resin. It was a very nice smell.
