marry a princess

Chapter 49
Once the ugly time was over, the girls in Zuixianglou went back to their rooms to rest. The originally bustling Zuixianglou was peaceful and peaceful, only a few servants and maids were cleaning downstairs, but they were light-footed, like It was the girls who were worried about shocking the upstairs.

After a long time, some piano sounds came from upstairs, melodious and melodious.Xiao Lan, who was sweeping the floor with her body bowed, straightened up, put one hand on the back of the other, rested her chin on her chin, looked up at the third room on the left, her expression full of envy.

"Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and work, or mother will punish us again when she sees it." Another maid, Yu'er, came over with a basin of water and bumped Xiaolan with her arm.

Xiaolan pursed her lips and said disapprovingly, "Mom has already gone to play chess with Duke Zhou, how could she come down?" She pulled Yu'er and pointed upstairs, "Usually the girls are already asleep at this time. Come on, why is Miss Ninglan still playing the piano at this time?"

"Mother is not allowed to interfere when the girls are playing the piano. If you want to know, why don't you go up and ask?" Yu'er teased.

Xiaolan continued to purse her lips, looked at Ninglan's room for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Miss Ninglan's piano is really nice, no wonder so many people come to our Zuixiang Building because of the fame. I heard that Liu from the Wanhua Building in front Mom tried to buy Miss Ninglan at a high price several times, but Miss Ninglan refused to agree."

Yu'er put the copper basin on the table beside her, twisted the handkerchief and wiped the table carefully.All the girls from Zuihonglou are proud and arrogant, especially the four girls from Chunlan Meizhu.The guests who come here, even if they are not high-ranking officials, are also young masters and riches from rich families. As long as the four girls Chunlan, Plum and Zhu agree, they will have inexhaustible money.

Mother Liu used money to buy Miss Ninglan, but it was a waste of effort.

Usually at this time, they had already gone back to their rooms to rest, but tonight the four of them had something on their minds, not long after Ning Lan came back from playing the piano, Chunxi, Mei Yun and Zhuqing came together.The four sat at the table, but they were silent.

In the end, it was Ning Lan's piano sound that broke the silence of the four of them.

"If she comes to us again in the future, what should we call her?" Mei Yun couldn't hold back her words and said, "The first time I saw her, I guessed that she was definitely more than just Miss Qianjin. It's the Fifth Prince Concubine."

Hearing this, Zhu Qing who was standing in front of the window frowned, his clear and silent eyes were instantly covered with a layer of loneliness.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Mei Yun slapped down the table and asked anxiously, "Did you hear what I said?"

Pressing the strings with her hands, the sound of the qin was still. Ning Lan pulled the red silk aside to cover the qin, got up, walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea and held it in her hand, "Fifth Prince Concubine, don't forget that she still Has an identity." Ning Lan turned her head to look at Zhu Qing, "Fourth Sister..."

"I'm fine." Zhu Qing came over and sat down under Ning Lan, poured a cup of tea and held it in her hand, "She is not a woman who cares about her status." Otherwise, she would not come to this place of fireworks pretending to be a man , let alone call them sisters.

Chunxi nodded in agreement, and then said worriedly, "She is always different from us, not to mention... I didn't know it before, but now that I know it, should we also avoid suspicion in the future, and don't go too far with her?" close."

The four of them grew up together and had nothing but each other. Now it is very easy for them to meet a friend who doesn't care about their birth identities, but this is the result.The four of them drooped their eyelids, and all of them felt the same loss in their hearts.

"It doesn't matter to us, it's just Fourth Sister..."

Seeing the same pity in the three people's eyes, Zhuqing pulled the corners of his lips and smiled forcedly, "Why are you looking at me like this? Does my appearance worry you? In fact, I have known for a long time. What I expected was nothing more than my own wishful thinking.”

Suddenly, a gust of wind was heard, and the four of them looked towards the window at the same time.A man wearing a moon-white robe and a silver complexion jumped in from the window and stood in front of the window, his ink-like black hair dancing lightly in the wind behind him.

The four of them were taken aback, exchanged glances quickly, put down the teacups in their hands, and went over to salute, "I have seen the master."

The man glanced at the four of them, walked to the table and sat down, raised his hand, and his cool voice came from behind the mask like a stream flowing in winter, "Get up."

"Yes."

Chunxi took a step forward and said respectfully, "Master is here so late, but there is a task for us to do?"

The man took off the mask and put it on the table, and a delicate and beautiful face appeared before his eyes.He glanced indifferently across the faces of Chunlan, Plum and Zhu one by one, looking at one place, his eyebrows were slightly stern, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

He didn't speak, but they were uneasy. They didn't know why the master came here at this time. Even Zhuqing, who had always been cold, couldn't help but worry when he saw him silent now. Under the mask and ecstatic.

"When did you know her?"

The four of them were all taken aback for a moment, and then came to their senses, Mei Yun said, "The master is only referring to the younger sister, no, is it the fifth prince's concubine?"

Ling?She changed her surname, no wonder Ning Lan and the others didn't report it to him.The man nodded, his tense expression eased a little.

Ning Lan said, "Master asked me to investigate Xiao Zhan's situation last time. On the way back, I was attacked by a sneak attack and was injured. It was Ling... Fifth Prince Concubine who rescued me and personally sent me to Zuixiang Tower. At that time, none of us knew that she was the fifth concubine, so..."

"After she saved you, she often came to Zuixianglou and recognized you as sisters?" There was a faint smile on the corner of Qing Leng's mouth.Seeing her fooling the queen with a fake yuan handkerchief, I knew she was bold, but I didn't expect her to be so bold.

The four of them knelt down with a plop, and Mei Yun said, "Every time the fifth concubine comes here, she pretends to be a man. Except for the four of us, no one knows she is a woman." Then she continued, "We thought she was just an ordinary wealthy family who sneaked out. Miss playing, that's why..."

Seeing the panic and fear on their faces, Yuan Hongyi said quietly, "I don't mean to blame you, get up."

The four stood up and heard Yuan Hongyi ask again, "The sound of the piano I heard last time was played by the fifth prince and concubine?"

No wonder the sound of the piano seemed familiar.

Ning Lan replied yes, while watching the words and expressions.Seeing that there was no anger on the master's face, Ning Lan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"The Fifth Prince's concubine often comes to Zuixiang Tower?"

Ning Lan shook her head, "The fifth imperial concubine doesn't come to the most fragrant building very often, and she always stays in our room every time she comes, and she doesn't stay long."

Yuan Hongyi nodded, picked up the mask and put it on, and said as he walked, "Don't let her know your identities. Also, find out Xiao Zhan's real identity as soon as possible."

When they regained their senses and chased after them, Yuan Hongyi had already disappeared into the vast night.Mei Yun patted her chest and let out a long breath, "I just saw the expression on Master's face, and thought something serious happened, but I didn't expect it was for the Fifth Prince Concubine?"

Zhuqing drooped his eyelids, and said softly, "It's getting late, I'm going back to my room first." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and went out.
