N-A-A Chapter 1909 I've seen it before
Chapter 1909 I've seen it before
Zhou Shiyue didn't actually want the zither.
When he saw the painting, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen the same violin somewhere before.
On the carriage back to the Prince's mansion, Lu Zhaoling was lost in thought and didn't speak to him. As a result, Zhou Shiyue was also wondering where he had seen a similar zither.
He thought about it for a long time, and it was only while he was taking a bath that he suddenly remembered this musical score.
He didn't know when he obtained this musical score.
It seems that when he moved out of the palace and into the Prince's Mansion, the palace maids packed several boxes of things for him. His father said that they were things that his mother had collected, and he gave them all to him.
The sheet music should also be among those boxes.
These kinds of things were all put away in the study along with the other books.
He had looked at it before.
So that's what my mother got from somewhere before, and now there's no way to find it.
This sheet music has no name.
However, there are a few characters on it that look like they belong to the Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Shiyue guessed that the score was also passed down from the Jin Dynasty.
"Call Aoki here."
Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyue then asked Qinglin to go find Qingmu.
After returning, Aoki and Aoyu naturally took a bath and changed their clothes.
The two were drinking water and resting when they heard Qinglin calling them.
"I'll go right away."
Aoki put down his teacup and stood up.
He took a step and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Qingyu asked.
Aoki said, "The painting is in my arms, and I'm wondering whether I should take it with me."
After bathing and changing, he put the painting back in his pocket.
The princess told him to keep it safe and not to open it, so he didn't want to put the painting out, for fear that someone might accidentally open it.
But now that we're going to see the prince, should he take the painting out first?
Qingyu was taken aback. "Why are you hesitating about this?"
Upon hearing this question, Qingyu suddenly realized that back at the Meng residence, the prince had been staring intently at the female ghost in the painting.
Is Aoki afraid that the prince will want to see the painting again?
It has to be said that Aoki thought about quite a lot.
Qinglin was waiting outside. "What painting?"
"Was it the prince who called me, or is the princess also here?" Aoki asked.
"Your Highness is in the study; the Princess is not here." Qinglin replied, then looked Qingmu up and down, clicking his tongue. "Seriously, Qingmu? You're still wary of the Prince? Or is it that now that the Princess is not here, you dare not see him in private?"
Have you forgotten that you are Blue Shirt Number Nine?
Do we really need to distinguish between princes and princesses so clearly?
"The prince and princess are husband and wife, they are one. What are you doing?" Qinglin stared at Qingmu with wide eyes.
Aoki glanced at him.
"You do not understand."
"What don't I understand? I became a member of the 'Qing' generation much, much earlier than you! Why are you acting like a senior now?"
Qinglin rolled up his sleeves and said, "I don't agree with that."
Seeing that he looked like he wanted to fight him one-on-one, Aoki ignored him and walked past him.
He walked towards the study. "Didn't you say the Prince was calling for me? Are you trying to waste my time?"
"nonsense."
Qinglin quickly followed.
Aoki eventually took the painting to his study.
After all, the princess didn't say that the prince couldn't look at it, and the prince had already seen the painting when he was at the Meng residence.
Besides, Qinglin is right. The prince and princess are one, husband and wife. It's really not his place as a guard to help guard them.
He had a momentary lapse in judgment, but now that he's figured things out, he has no psychological burden.
But when he got to the study, Aoki realized that he hadn't been wrong after all.
"You still have that painting on you, right?"
As soon as Zhou Shiyue saw him, he said, "Let me see it."
Aoki paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort said before not to open it."
Zhou Shiyue was thinking about confirming something and didn't think much about it for a moment. Now, when he heard Qingmu say this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, shall we wait until the Princess arrives before we look at it?"
Aoki said very sincerely, "After all, it is a ghost painting. If we open it rashly now, we don't know what harm it might do to the prince. It would be more reassuring to have the princess here."
Qingxiao and Qingfeng, who were standing to the side, heard their conversation and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Did Aoki have a ghost painting on him?
"I've heard of ghost paintings before. They usually depict beautiful female ghosts who, at night or when no one is around, emerge from the painting to bewitch the man who owns it..."
Qingxiao paused here.
I felt that Aoki's expression was a bit strange.
Qinglin followed him in and, upon hearing Qingxiao's words, looked at him and asked, "You're carrying around a beautiful female ghost? Haven't you been bewitched?"
“I didn’t,” Aoki said seriously.
“Then let’s wait for the Princess to come.” Zhou Shiyue glanced at Qingmu, then suddenly thought of something, and his eyes darkened. He picked up the sheet music and stood up. “No, let’s go directly to the Princess.”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the study.
The girls behind them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qinglin looked at Qingmu, "No, do you really have such a strong stance? You only listen to the prince if the princess is present?"
Qingxiao said in a deep voice, "Qingmu probably didn't mean that. That painting is a bit dangerous, isn't it?"
Qingfeng also looked at Qingmu.
Aoki nodded. "Yes, it depicts a female ghost. The princess instructed that it should not be opened."
But the prince wanted to see it.
He did not mention that the prince had gazed at the painting for a long time while at the Meng residence.
Qingfeng also said, "Since that's the case, Qingmu didn't do anything wrong. The princess said it can't be opened, so the prince can't look at it privately either. What if there's real danger? The princess must be present."
Qingxiao nodded.
That's right, that's exactly how it is.
Qinglin looked at this one, then at that one.
It seems to make sense, but why does he always feel that something is not quite right?
"Follow up."
Aoki had already stepped outside.
The other three Qing paused for a moment, then quickly followed.
There was a beautiful ghost in the painting, and they were curious to see it.
Moreover, they found it somewhat strange that the prince wanted to see him again, since he had already met him at the Meng residence.
Shouldn't we hurry up and go find out what's going on?
Lu Zhaoling still didn't finish reading the book, as the words were too difficult to decipher.
However, she saw the part she wanted to see.
It is true that the king was very popular with the people and the army, so when the emperor was ill, everyone recommended that the king temporarily serve as regent.
Even the empress stood on the king's side, supporting him with the young crown prince by the hand.
Then it was said that the emperor witnessed that scene.
The emperor was displeased.
These three words were written on it.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Shiyue arrived and spoke in the outer room.
Lu Zhaoling's hair was almost dry. She sat up, and Qingyin used a ribbon to gently tie her hair down her back.
Lu Zhaoling stood up and stretched.
Qingyin and Qingbao stared at her actions, completely mesmerized.
The princess's occasional gesture was more alluring than usual, and her slender waist made them blush.
"Put on your coat and come out." Zhou Shiyue's voice came in.
Lu Zhaoling also heard several other footsteps.
Is it Aoki and the others who have arrived?
She finished getting ready and came out, and sure enough, she saw several people waiting eagerly.
