However, Yun Shang didn't expect that Uncle Liu sent a message to her early the next morning, saying that Liu Yinfeng would invite her to the main hall for meal today. Yun Shang didn't know what Liu Yinfeng was thinking, so she followed him.
The main hall was next to the room where Liu Yinfeng lived. When Yun Shang went there with Qian Yin, Liu Yinfeng was already waiting at the table. There were simply six dishes on the table, which could not be described as a feast. Without saying a word, Yun Shang went straight to the opposite side of Liu Yinfeng and sat down. Liu Yinfeng picked up the chopsticks first and started to eat.
Yun Shang didn't know what he was thinking, so she didn't bother to guess. Instead, she finished her breakfast quietly.
After Yun Shang put down the bowl and chopsticks, Liu Yinfeng said, "I heard from uncle Liu that you have finished the books I sent the day before yesterday."
Yun Shang nodded, "I've read it all. They are ordinary books, and I have read some of them before. The journey and miscellaneous notes were different from what I read before. The title of the diary was the glory of the State of Xia I had never been in contact with, which looked interesting. You had written the notes on the pages, right? You had read carefully and had detailed notes on the book. But I couldn't concentrate on my study, so I go through it very fast."
Liu Yinfeng meditated for a moment and said, "in that case, I will ask Uncle Liu to send you some more books. I guess you also like the the Four Arts, but you don't have a Guqin in your room. I'll ask Uncle Liu to buy you one later."
"What?" Yun Shang was surprised with her mouth wide open. She said awkwardly, "No need. How long are you going to keep me here? But my old mother who is sick is still home waiting for me..."
Yun Shang looked at Liu Yinfeng with a hint of plea in her eyes. But Liu Yinfeng pretended not to see her and stood up. "When it's time for you to leave, I'll let you go. You can rest assured to stay here. I'll have someone to take care of your mother." Then he walked outside. After a pause, he continued, "Well, you can come here and have meals with me from now on." Then he stepped out of the main hall.
Yun Shang sighed and stood up. Liu Yinfeng was this polite to her, so he didn't recognize her true identity. What was his purpose by holding her here?
Yun Shang went back to her room and thought, Liu Yinfeng was the military counsellor of the State of Xia. If Xia's army started to attack, Liu Yinfeng would certainly go with them. Since Liu Yinfeng was still here, it meant that Xia's army had no action yet.
Soon, Uncle Liu brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The Guqin looked extraordinary and excellent. Yun Shang became more interested in it. She went to the table and played with it with a better voice.
Since she was bored, she played a song called Courting a Phoenix. In the middle of the performance, Yun Shang suddenly recalled that she and Prince Jing had played this music together. A smile appeared on her face. When would she see Prince Jing next time? Yun Shang wondered what was going on with Prince Jing.
In accordance with the Emperor's order, Prince Jing went to capture Li Jingyan and Xia Houjing. Both of them were as cunning as foxes, and it would be difficult for him to succeed.
At that moment, the room was a little dark. As she raised her head, he saw Liu Yinfeng standing at the door, and the sound of her Guqin was disturbed. Yun Shang hurriedly pressed the strings. A few buzzing sounds were heard before it became quiet.
"What brings you here?" Yun Shang looked up and asked in confusion.
Liu Yinfeng seemed to be lost in thought. After a while, he asked, "I heard the song you played just now. Is it Courting a Phoenix?"
Yun Shang flushed. "I didn't know. I was just playing randomly. It turns out to be Courting a Phoenix."
"Mister Xiao, are you missing your lover?" Liu Yinfeng said lightly, but there was inexplicable chill in his eyes.
