Chapter 242: Chapter 182: Piano King’s Master

Just as Shen Jingxian was shocked that Wen Ranchen actually made a piano for her with his own hands, Xiao Qi suddenly leaned over to Shen Jingxian and loudly announced, “Your Highness! Crown Princes from various countries have sent you pianos, and the Empress wants you to go to Minghua Hall to choose one you like.”

Shen Jingxian: ?

For some reason, Shen Jingxian instinctively looked at Wen Ranchen, who still had a smile on his face, seemingly unbothered by Xiao Qi’s words.

But the next moment, he gently whispered in Shen Jingxian’s ear, “Your Highness, may I go too?”

Wen Ranchen was very close, yet somehow not that close—near yet far, present yet absent.

It was just close enough for Shen Jingxian to feel his presence, smell the light fragrance on him, but not so much that it seemed disrespectful or frivolous.

Every inch of distance was just right.

Who is Shen Jingxian? Couldn’t she recognize this little trick? You need to know she is one of the earliest Tea Masters, Wen Ranchen, I advise you not to send out your hormones towards me!!

Shen Jingxian was about to refuse, but Wen Ranchen seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and his gaze dropped with a hint of disappointment.

Shen Jingxian: ?

A good General, why does he seem like a dog?

Like a big dog with its tail down, saddened by its master about to leave the house.

Thinking about it, Wen Ranchen has been having a tough time, maybe she should take him along.

Angel Shen Jingxian: Take him!

Demon Shen Jingxian: Take him!

The two consciences reached a consensus and unanimously decided to take Wen Ranchen along.

While preparing to leave, Wen Ranchen suddenly asked if he could bring the piano.

Shen Jingxian naturally had no objections and wasn’t afraid that Wen Ranchen’s piano would compare poorly to those brought by the crown princes.

You know, this piano feels good even after she touched a piano worth ten thousand taels of gold!!!

Thus, Shen Jingxian, along with Wen Ranchen holding the piano and the Maid Team, arrived at Minghua Hall.

Upon arriving, Shen Jingxian realized that not only did the Crown Princes send pianos, but they also came themselves.

Looking around, Mu Bai, Li Yan, Gong Yu, and two other men she hadn’t seen before, but since they were standing alongside Princes, those two men were likely also Crown Princes. Thus… all the Crown Princes of the great countries were gathered!

What is this, a show with five men?

She was hardly acquainted with these Princes and didn’t know why they suddenly came to deliver pianos. Shen Jingxian suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

In front of outsiders, Shen Jingxian always remained composed. After a reserved greeting, she refrained from speaking and waited for the Emperor on the upper seat to speak first.

“Yi Fen, these are the pianos sent by various Crown Princes. See if there’s one you like.”

Shen Jingxian looked at her father’s old eyes and suddenly realized that these people weren’t just coming to deliver pianos; they were here to propose!!

Apparently, in the original text, there was indeed such a scene where the Princess’s beauty was known throughout the realm, and Crown Princes from all nations sought to marry her. But the Princess would marry none and, under Wen Ranchen’s encouragement, managed to humiliate all the Princes, leading Yunyi Country to lose all friendly nations.

Thinking of that, Shen Jingxian suddenly looked at Wen Ranchen, her heart tumbling with complex emotions, wondering if this is why Wen Ranchen followed?

Does he want to harm her?

Will he?

Shen Jingxian’s heart felt he wouldn’t.

But having been tortured by the plot for so long, her heart couldn’t help but be afraid.

“Princess Yi Fen, I heard you are practicing ’Bell Chime’, so I specifically went to the auction to buy this famous Dream Picker.”

While speaking, the Crown Prince gently clapped, and the servant behind him elegantly set up the purchased piano before Shen Jingxian.

The Crown Prince took the opportunity to be the first to approach the Princess, pointing to the piano in front, introducing it, “This piano is called Dream Picker, it’s the top creation of the Piano King, valued at five thousand taels of gold!”

Shen Jingxian’s eyelid twitched; why does the Piano King have so many pianos?

This is already the third one.

However, just based on price, this piano seems less good than the one sent by Song Yan and Jiaojiao.

Hmm… Looking closer at the color, it seems less impressive than her current piano, though saying this might be unfair to the Crown Prince, sometimes facts are just that cruel.

The Crown Prince didn’t know Shen Jingxian had already rated his piano in her heart and continued, “I specially invited the Piano King, Master Zuo Shihua, to tune this piano for you, Princess.”

Wen Ranchen, hearing this name, furrowed his brow as if recalling something.

The piano sent by the Crown Prince was extremely dazzling; under the sunlight, its hues flowed like light, seemingly capable of directly blinding anyone viewing it.
