A Beauty Comes to Moonlight Pavilion to Play the Flute

Meanwhile, Wang Feng, who had been staying in Xue Qinghe's palace for a long time, knew that Xue Qinghe would not be back for a while, so he prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, Xue Qinghe's younger sister Xue Ke, walked in.

Upon seeing Xue Ke, Wang Feng instinctively avoided her and hid.

After arriving in the room, Xue Ke sat silently on the sofa, seemingly waiting for Xue Qinghe to return. Because of the death of Xue Ye, Xue Ke had been grieving so much that she had been visiting her older brother Xue Qinghe almost every day for the past few days.

Sometimes they would even sleep directly in the Xue Qinghe Palace.

Wang Feng knew that Xue Ke wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. He had originally planned to go find Xue Qinghe, but now it was best not to disturb them.

Without making a sound, Wang Feng left the Xue Qinghe Palace and soon arrived at Liu Erlong's residence.

"Wang Feng, where's Ah Yin? Why did you come back alone?" Liu Erlong was reproachful when she saw Wang Feng return alone; she hadn't seen Ah Yin for several days.

"Ah Yin is with the Moonlight Pavilion at Yuehua. Erlong, are you going to go find her?"

"Well, that's fine. I haven't been to the Moonlight Pavilion to study for several days."

"Alright, let's go now. Once we get to the Moonlight Pavilion, you can practice with Yuehua and Ah Yin." Wang Feng said meaningfully, hugged his precious daughter, and then took Liu Erlong's hand and walked towards the Moonlight Pavilion.

When Liu Erlong heard the music, she inexplicably glared at Wang Feng.

Soon, Wang Feng, Liu Erlong, and their family of three arrived at the Moonlight Pavilion.

When the female guards at the Moonlight Pavilion saw that it was Wang Feng and Liu Erlong who had arrived, they quickly went upstairs to report to Tang Yuehua.

When Tang Yuehua came downstairs after receiving the news and saw Wang Feng, she was furious. If it weren't for Liu Erlong and their daughter being there, she would have already lost her temper on the spot.

"Yuehua, you look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Erlong noticed that Tang Yuehua was not right and went over to ask her with concern.

Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly. "It's alright, let's go upstairs and talk first."

"Good."

After saying that, the three of them quickly walked up to the fifth floor.

Upon arriving at the fifth-floor room, Ah Yin was delighted to see Wang Feng and her good friend Liu Erlong.

After a detailed conversation, Liu Erlong finally understood why Tang Yuehua looked somewhat haggard.

She had heard about the murder of Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and the events involving Tang Hao and Tang San in the past few days. It was normal for Tang Yuehua, as Tang Hao's sister, to be worried.

However, these things were basically irrelevant to her, and she didn't care much about them.

After another long chat, the three women gradually warmed up to each other.

Then Liu Erlong brought up her experience of learning to play musical instruments and other rhythmic dance steps.

To everyone's surprise, the moment Liu Erlong brought it up, all four people in the room fell silent for a second.

Then the three women all looked at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng felt a slight sense of pride when the three women looked at him, as he had a complicated relationship with all of them. However, as the atmosphere grew a bit strange, Wang Feng felt uncomfortable under their gazes and quickly coughed lightly, saying, "Um, Yuehua, you stay here and teach Erlong. I'll go downstairs and take a look."

After saying that, he quickly went down to the fifth floor.

After Wang Feng left, Tang Yuehua thought about the subtle relationship between her, Ah Yin, and Wang Feng, and then looked at Liu Erlong. She felt a little uncomfortable because she had learned from Ah Yin that the relationship between Liu Erlong and Ah Yin was also subtle.

As a result, the relationships between her, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ah Yin are all quite complicated with Wang Feng.

Upon further reflection, Tang Yuehua felt a chill run down her spine; she really wanted to bite that bastard Wang Feng to death.

Aside from a slight flush on her face, Ah Yin didn't change much.

Liu Erlong quickly realized what was happening and said, "Yuehua, let's start practicing now. There are still some things I haven't mastered yet, and after that, we'll practice the harp."

"Alright then." Tang Yuehua recovered and calmly walked over, leading the two to the practice room.

After asking Ah Yin to help take care of Xiao Qing'er, Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua went to the practice platform.

Tang Yuehua then asked, "By the way Erlong, how far have you progressed in your practice?"

"Hmm, it seems to be about how to better regulate my breathing to keep my voice sounding better," Liu Erlong replied seriously.

Do you practice at home on your own?

"No, I usually do." Liu Erlong answered subconsciously, then suddenly realized he might have said something wrong and quickly stopped himself.

When Tang Yuehua and Ah Yin heard this, they looked at Liu Erlong with understanding expressions.

Seeing that the two had misunderstood him, Liu Erlong explained, "Yuehua, Ah Yin, don't misunderstand. I meant I was cultivating with Wang Feng, not what you think."

"Mommy... and Daddy... like to cultivate, like to cultivate." At this moment, Xiao Qing in Ah Yin suddenly clapped her little hands happily and muttered to herself.

Liu Erlong pretended to be angry, signaling Xiao Qing'er to shut up, but Xiao Qing started talking and danced around happily.

"Ahem, Erlong, I understand. Let's continue." Tang Yuehua interrupted, picked up the instrument seriously, and began to teach Liu Erlong how to play.

Liu Erlong already had a basic foundation and probably practiced alone at home, so she quickly caught up with the pace.

Ah Yin Xiao Qing'er's skillful movements and the beautiful music they played, nodded in satisfaction, thinking to herself, "Erlong is getting better and better, almost as good as me. Wang Feng will definitely like it."

While the three girls were practicing their musical instruments, Wang Feng arrived at the fourth floor of the Moonlight Pavilion.

Although Xue Ye died and Xue Qinghe succeeded him, it did not affect the operation of the Moonlight Pavilion. Those who needed to learn still had to come and learn.

Moreover, in the eyes of the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, as long as it does not affect their noble lives, it doesn't matter who is the emperor.

Just then, a beautiful melody of a piano rang out from a room on the fourth floor. It was filled with sorrow and a sense of lament, Wang Feng was instantly captivated by the music.

Upon closer inspection, I was somewhat surprised to see that it was Xue Ke.

He clearly remembered that Xue Ke should be at the Xue Ye Palace when he arrived, so why is she at the Moonlight Pavilion now?

Wang Feng didn't know was that Xue Qinghe had just ascended the throne and was too busy with affairs to spend time with Xue Ke, so he asked Xue Ke to come to the Moonlight Pavilion to play the zither and relieve her emotions.

"Good!!"

"That's wonderful! As expected of Princess Xue Ke!"

"That's right, Princess Xue Beng is undoubtedly the best among our students this year."

After Xue Ke finished playing the piece, the nobles listening around her applauded and cheered, showering her with flattery.

"Hehe, everyone played very well too, you flatter me."

Xue Ke sat up from the zither platform, gave a not-so-pleasant smile, and said something. When she saw Wang Feng behind her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She seemed to remember Wang Feng; she had seen him before. Just as she was about to walk over and call out to him to come up, she saw that Wang Feng had already gone up to the fifth floor.

"He can actually go up to the fifth floor? Could he be Aunt Yuehua's friend?"

Seeing Wang Feng go up to the fifth floor, Xue Ke left the group of nobles who were flattering her and went up as well.

As a princess, and with a close relationship with Tang Yuehua, no one stopped her when she went up to the fifth floor; they simply asked a question and then informed Tang Yuehua.

Wang Feng had just arrived in the room and was listening to Tang Yuehua teach Ah Yin and Liu Erlong to play the piano, didn't pay much attention when Xue Ke came up.

When Tang Yuehua heard that Xue Ke had come up, she, who was quite close to Xue Ke, had someone bring her up.

"Aunt Yue." Xue Ke entered the room and affectionately called out to Tang Yuehua before being drawn to Wang Feng and the others inside.

Especially the child that Wang Feng and Ah Yin were raising, and Liu Erlong, who was learning to play the flute.

She clearly remembered Wang Feng and Liu Erlong, and that she had given sugar figurines to that child.

"Ake, what brings you up here? Do you need to see Aunt Yue?"

"Well, I missed Aunt Yue, so I came to see her. By the way, Aunt Yue, who are they..." Xue Ke looked at Wang Feng and the others, her face showing confusion.

"They are all my friends. Her name is Liu Erlong, and her Ah Yin. They are here to study with me, just like you," Tang Yuehua introduced Wang Feng and the others briefly.

"Studying... Hmm, isn't this a xiao (vertical bamboo flute)? Aunt Yue, I don't want to go back now. Can I stay here and study with you?"

"Of course."

Tang Yuehua knew that Xue Ke had been in a bad mood lately, so letting her stay here and study with them was a good idea.

"Yes, thank you, Aunt Yue." Xue Ke said with a smile, then sat down next to Liu Erlong and politely performed a noble etiquette to greet him again.

After returning the greeting, Liu Erlong asked Tang Yuehua to continue teaching.

"Ah Yin, why don't you go and learn too? I'll take care of Xiao Qing'er," Wang Feng said to Ah Yin.

"Okay, then Xiao Qing'er go to her father's."

"Hello, Aunt Yin, and hello to Daddy too." Xiao Qing'er said happily and went to hug Wang Feng.

"What a little rascal," Wang Feng said, playfully pinching his daughter's nose.

"Daddy... you're mean. You always pinch my nose." Xiao Qing angrily slapped Wang Feng's big hand away. She was all grown up now, not the kind of little girl who would let anyone pinch her nose.

At this moment, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Xue Ke, and Tang Yuehua sat elegantly on the instrument platform, playing a beautiful melody step by step.

Xue Ke has been studying at the Moonlight Pavilion for some time and is quite proficient in the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), but she is not as good as Ah Yin and Liu Erlong.

Wang Feng guessed that the reason was that Xue Ke lacked practical experience.

After practicing for a while, Xue Ke realized that her tone of voice was not as good as Ah Yin's and Liu Erlong's, so she asked with some doubt, "Aunt Yue, I feel like my rhythm is a bit off."

"It's alright, just practice more. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth," Tang Yuehua earnestly advised.

Then, the four women continued practicing without stopping.

As they practiced, time passed quietly, and Xue Ke finally bid farewell to Tang Yuehua and left Moonlight Pavilion at dusk.

As she left, she curiously sized up Wang Feng, the man who had a good relationship with her Aunt Yue and lived on the fifth floor of the Moonlight Pavilion.

"Erlong, why don't you and Ah Yin stay here for the next few days?"

After Xue Ke left, Tang Yuehua made a suggestion to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong thought about it and realized it would make her studies easier, so she agreed.

Since Liu Erlong stayed behind, Wang Feng naturally had to stay as well to help the three women.

Unfortunately, the three women seemed to know that Wang Feng had ill intentions, so they united against him and did not give Wang Feng any chance.
