Dizi, Xiao, Sheng, Kuaiban, Cucurbit Flute, and Pan Flute.

They were all his favorite instruments.

The gifts suddenly reminded Chi Zhili of his love for musical instruments when he was a child. The younger him was determined to become a great musician. Unfortunately, his mother stopped him in the end.

Chi Zhili reached out and took out the Dizi.

Could he start re-learning again?

Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-

Chi Yang raised her head when she heard the flute. She wondered if she had caused big trouble. There was a reason why Chi Zhili didn’t develop his career in music.

Chi Yang rubbed her ears, thinking about how to stop Chi Zhili.

Chi Zhili suddenly stopped, but his mouth hadn’t left the flute.

“Big Brother, what are you doing?”

Performance art?

Chi Yang was puzzled.

“Yangyang… I think I have a thorn in my mouth…” Chi Zhili maintained his original posture and didn’t dare to move.

Chi Yang was speechless.

“Where? Let me see!” Before Chi Yang could take a look, Chen Pingting rushed up first.

She had never seen a person with a thorn in their mouth before!

Meanwhile, Chi Zhili thought that this woman was the kindest person alive.

She was so warm-hearted.

There was only a thorn in his mouth, and it was removed in a short while.

The excited Chi Zhili didn’t flinch at all. He took another flute and was eager to try. He moved so fast that Chi Yang didn’t even have time to stop him.

Wuwuwu-Wuwuwu-Wuwuwu-

Alright then! It was slightly better than before.

“Ah! My mouth!” Chi Zhili stopped what he was doing and wiped his bleeding mouth with a handkerchief.

Chi Zhili, who had returned to normal after a long time, reached out to pick up other instruments to practice, but Chi Yang stopped him this time.

“Big Brother, you should rest.”

Her ears could not take it anymore.

Chi Zhili thought that Chi Yang was feeling sorry for him, so he lowered his head in agreement and sat down to talk about the strange things that happened during his work.

Chi Yang listened with great interest.

It had to be said that Chi Zhili was quite suitable for storytelling. Different characters had different voices, and the cadence of their voices made people feel as if they were there.

Chen Pingting was amazed at Chi Zhili’s talent. It was such a dull story yet Chi Zhili told it so vividly.

When the story ended, Chen Pingting applauded.

Chi Yang poured a cup of tea for Chi Zhili.

What if she became mute? She still wanted to continue listening!

Looking at the tea that Chi Yang handed over, Chi Zhili was flattered and took the teacup. His sister must be concerned about him!

“Thank you, Yangyang!”



The good news does not leave the house, but bad news travels thousands of miles.

In just one afternoon, the news of the fight between the eldest daughter and the second daughter of Prime Minister Chi’s family spread, including the palace.

“Is that true?” Xiao Zhenting asked in surprise after he listened to the eunuch’s words.

The young eunuch thought that His Majesty did not believe him and kowtowed repeatedly. “Every word is true, Your Majesty.”

“Then is the Chi family’s second miss injured?” Xiao Zhenting leaned against the soft couch and asked the young eunuch.

“No…” The young eunuch didn’t know which answer the Emperor wanted to hear, so he could only tell the truth softly.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would actually laugh out loud?

“As expected of my sister’s daughter!”

Xiao Zhenting and Xiao Lianyi were born to the same mother. When they were young, because their mother was not favored, the two siblings were often bullied.

Every time he was bullied by his other brothers and sisters, his sister would always come forward to teach those people a lesson for him and beat them up until their heads bled.

“Someone come! Draw up an edict and say that the Emperor misses his niece…” Xiao Zhenting lazily leaned on the soft couch, so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

The eunuch in charge, Lai Fu, bowed in agreement.

At this moment, a woman slowly walked in. She wore a pearl hairpin with five phoenixes hanging in the morning sun, her black hair tied into an eight-treasure pearl bun, a red gold necklace around her neck, a pair of mandarin duck pendants tied around her skirt, and a red phoenix robe with a hundred butterflies embroidered into it.

“Let bengong see what kind of cover you are using me for?”

When Lai Fu heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed.

“May the Empress be blessed.”

“Get up.”

When Xiao Zhenting heard the Empress’ voice, he immediately got up from the soft couch and sat up straight.

“So it’s the Empress. You came at the right time. I was just about to draft an edict to let our niece enter the palace…” Xiao Zhenting said as he moved to the side, making space for the Empress.
