Chapter 66.2 – What Did This Prince’s w.a.n.gfei Do Wrong? (2)

This time he didn’t pour in the power of the sound force, so Du Xiao Li didn’t pay attention to him anymore and

picked up the music score on her desk. Just like he said, this piece was indeed rather difficult, but for her, it wasn’t

all that difficult. After looking at it for a few time, she had the score placed back on her desk and began listening to

Feng Li Shang play.

Have to say, this Feng Li Shang’s zither skills were indeed very excellent. Those rather difficult parts in the piece

were all easily turned around by him. There wasn’t the slightest trace of unnaturalness in between.

When he finished performing, a round of applause sounded in the cla.s.sroom.

Feng Li Shang waved his hand, letting the cla.s.sroom quiet down, “Now, I’ll teach everyone how to play those few

rather difficult areas……”

Although Feng Li Shang was a feast to the eyes, and his teaching was also not bad, Ji Liu Xia still continuously

yawned. Looks like she was sleepy again. Du Xiao Li listened for a while, and then began secretly practicing her

inner energy inside the cla.s.sroom.

This school life was indeed somewhat boring!

When cla.s.s was about to end, Feng Li Shang let everyone freely practice. Suddenly, Chen Yue loudly spoke up,

“Teacher, if we’re practicing here, then those who can’t even read the music score will really affect our mood too

much.”

With that said, she even looked towards the back at Du Xiao Li and Ji Liu Xia.

“What’s your problem?” Ji Liu Xia instantly got angry.

“Exactly as I said.” Chen Yue said.

Ji Liu Xia got up, but was pulled back by Du Xiao Li.

“I actually forgot Du third miss just arrived today. Practicing this hard of a piece is indeed somewhat unsuitable.

You all just watch the others practice first.” Feng Li Shang said.

“Hmph!” Ji Liu Xia sat back down in her own seat, looking to Du Xiao Li and asking, “Just now, why did you stop

me?”

“A dog bit you, and now you’re going to bite it back?” Du Xiao Li said.

“Sigh, you’re right.” The fiery anger in Ji Liu Xia’s stomach were cleanly blown away by Du Xiao Li’s words. The

two then began waiting in the cla.s.sroom for the cla.s.s to end.

Du Xiao Li watched those people before her play the zither, discovering that Du Ke Xin’s zither skills here were

indeed very difficult to compare to. This piece to them was indeed very hard, but after practicing a few times, she

still managed to play out the whole piece. Although it was still obviously rather stiff, compared to the others, it was

already very excellent.

Aside from Du Ke Xin, Meng Jiang Zhuo’s zither skills were also very good, and second to her was Fu Ya Lan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yue’s zither skills were also very good. Previously, she’d thought that she was just looks and no

brain!

With great difficulty, they finally endured until cla.s.s ended. Du Xiao Li got dragged by Ji Liu Xia and them to the

nearby restaurant for a meal. Only after entering did Du Xiao Li realize it was Feng Xue Lou.

Turns out, Feng Xue Lou wasn’t far from the school, only taking a little while by horse carriage, and the students of

the academy sometimes would come here to eat lunch.

This time, Fu Wan San similarly came to greet them. However they’d come rather late, and the private rooms were

already full. They could only casually order some food in the main hall.

However, what made Du Xiao Li rather happy was that today there was fresh grape wine. It was the Li family

winery’s newly produced batch for this year. Although this was her territory, seeing Ji Liu Xia and them spending a

hundred some taels of silver without even blinking, Du Xiao Li still felt somewhat reluctant inside.

After the meal, it was time for noon break. When the four of them returned, they took Du Xiao Li to her room.

Because the ones that came to study were all young misses and young masters of official families or of the imperial

family, the living quarters prepared here were all especially high cla.s.s.

Just, unexpectedly, her room just happened to be next door to Fan Min’s, and all afternoon, she listened to the

criticism towards her from next door. It was all those young ladies that had followed behind Fan Min that morning.

The afternoon cla.s.ses as before were culture cla.s.s and music cla.s.s, just it wasn’t Feng Li Shang teaching, but rather

another teacher that taught the xiao flute.

(T/N: Vertical flute generally made from bamboo; it’s name ‘Dong Xiao’ means ‘hole flute’)

Finally, they lasted until cla.s.s ended. Du Xiao Li felt she was about to be bored to death. She followed Ji Liu Xia

and the others out of the school halls, discovering that Du Ke Xin’s horse carriage was already gone.

“This Du Ke Xin really is just too much!” Ji Liu Xia knew that Du Xiao Li came with Du Ke Xin, and that the Du

family only sent that one horse carriage to come pick them up. Now that the horse carriage was gone, she angry

spoke out.

“Xiao Li, why don’t you come with me.” Fu Ya Lan said, “Our two houses aren’t that far apart. I’ll take you back

along the way.”

“Okay, then I’ll just have to trouble you!”

“Then see you all tomorrow!”

Everyone all said their goodbyes and got on their respective horse carriage.

Fu Ya Lan climbed up stepping on a small stepping stool and then turned around to help Du Xiao Li, when they

suddenly heard the sound of rus.h.i.+ng horse hooves, drawing everyone’s attention over.

“Big brother, what are you doing here?” Meng Jiang Zhuo was just preparing to get on the horse carriage, and upon

seeing the person speeding over on horseback, she asked in surprise.

Meng Jiang Xin came before everyone and said, “Younger sister, do you know where Du third miss is?”

“What are you looking for Xiao Li for?” Ji Liu Xia asked

“My father has request to invite.” Meng Jiang Xin glanced around. At present, only Fu Ya Lan and the other’s horse

carriage haven’t left yet. He saw Du Xiao Li at a glance. Climbing down from his horse, he came before Du Xiao Li

and said, “Is this one Du third miss?”

Du Xiao Li nodded and said, “Is something the matter?”

“Grandfather said he somewhat missed Miss Du and wanted to invite Miss Du to the manor for a chat.” Meng Jiang

Xin said.

Du Xiao Li saw the anxiety leaking out from his two eyes and figured something must have happened. “Alright, I

just happened to also miss grandpa Meng and them. Sister Ya Lan, I’ll just go visit Meng Manor first.”

“Okay.” Although everyone all were somewhat skeptical inside, they still nodded.

Du Xiao Li got on Meng Jiang Zhuo’s horse carriage, and Meng Jiang Xin got on his horse. They party hastily left.

“Didn’t Xiao Li just arrive at the capital? When did she get acquainted with Imperial Tutor Meng?” Ji Liu Xia

puzzlingly said as she watched them leave.

“Alright, let’s go too. See you tomorrow.” Fu Ya Lan finished saying and entered her horse carriage. The carriage

curtains dropped and left first. Soon after, Ji Liu Xia also got on her horse carriage and left.

Du Xiao Li followed the Meng family siblings to the Meng Manor. She didn’t even get down from the horse

carriage, it just directly entered the manor.

“Brother, just what exactly happened?” Meng Jiang Zhuo waited until the horse carriage steadily stopped and

jumped down.

“It’s grandmother, she suddenly fainted.” Meng Jiang Xin said, and then looked towards Du Xiao Li, who came

down from behind, “Grandfather specially let me invite Miss Du over, asking Miss Du to save my grandmother.”

“Grandma Meng fell ill?” Du Xiao Li’s impression towards Meng Old Madam she’d met at the time was rather

good.

“Yes.” Meng Jiang Xin said, “My mother said the symptoms are more or less the same as grandfather’s at the time.

Just now, they’d already invited the imperial physician for a look, but they all say there’s no hope. Thus, grandfather

finally let me go find you.”

“Then let’s go see grandma Meng’s situation first.” Du Xiao Li urged.

Meng Jiang Xin lead Du Xiao Li to Meng Old Madam’s courtyard. Meng Jiang Zhuo also followed over.
