Chapter 424 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 35
Two days later, Ling Xi took Shi Yi to the piano room in the palace, intending to choose a piano for her.

This piano? It's better to use it yourself.

If there is no suitable one, let Qi Jinzhao find a perfect guitar for Shi Yi from somewhere else or make one for him.

When they arrived at the piano room, Ling Xi looked at Shi Yi gently and said, "Eleven, which one do you like? Or try them all out to see how they feel."

Shi Yi did not try out the piano, but instead asked Ling Xi: "Which one do you like to use, sister?"

Ling Xi smiled, pointed at one of the instruments, and explained to Shi Yi in detail: "This is the one. I made this instrument myself in three months when I was learning to play the instrument. Although it is not as expensive as the other instruments, it is still pretty good."

Shi Yi walked to the piano that Ling Xi was pointing at, squatted down, and touched it with his hand.

Then she smiled in surprise.

Turning to Ling Xi, he asked, "Sister, can I use this one?"

"Of course." Ling Xi nodded. "I'll have someone send this piano to your room later. You can use it as you like."

This piano was made for people to use. If it is left in the house, it will just gather dust.

"Thank you sister."

Shi Yi gave Ling Xi a sweet smile, which made Ling Xi feel warmed.

A good sister is better, she is obedient and sensible.

After choosing the piano, Shi Yi began to learn some basic things under Ling Xi's guidance.

When they were in the middle of studying, a few people strode in from outside. The man in the lead didn't even look at them, but said something teasing:

"I said, you kid, you don't want to go to Pingqin County to meet me, but you are here in this mansion playing the piano with the beauty to cultivate your relationship?"

When the man saw Ling Xi and Shi Yi, his words stopped abruptly.

A smile flashed in Ling Xi's eyes. When she heard the voice, she knew who was coming.

"Ping the King of Qin." Ling Xi bowed to him.

King Ping of Qin returned the gift.

He blurted out the words without thinking, "It turned out to be you, my sister-in-law. I thought it was that kid Zhou Shengchen."

Ling Xi showed helplessness on her face, and she reminded him, "Prince Ping Qin, I am not in that kind of relationship with you, so don't call me by the wrong name next time."

King Ping Qin understood the meaning of the words. He moved closer to Ling Xi and gave her an ambiguous smile:
"I know what you mean, sister-in-law. That guy hasn't asked to marry you yet, so you can't call him sister-in-law. I'm going to scold him later and make him put the things he should do on the agenda."

Ling Xi: “.”

After saying this, King Ping Qin looked at Shi Yi again and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Ling Xi has become immune to the title of King Ping Qin. No matter how many times he is reminded, he seems to never remember it.

Ling Xi took Shi Yi and introduced her to King Ping Qin: "This is the disciple the prince just accepted, Shi Yi from the Yu family."

"Shi Yi, this is King Ping Qin."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi bowed to King Ping Qin with such perfect courtesy that even the rough King Ping Qin felt embarrassed.

"It turns out that the Xian family has already sent her here. I didn't know that."

Ling Xi lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Shi Yi has just arrived not long ago, and the prince has not had time to let Wang Jun see her, so King Ping Qin naturally doesn't know." Zhou Shengchen walked in, stood between Ling Xi and King Ping Qin, and asked King Ping Qin: "Why are you here?"

King Ping Qin: "I'm looking for you, you little brat. I heard some noise here and thought you and your sister-in-law were playing the piano to improve your relationship."

Ling Xi wanted to bury her head in the ground at this moment. It didn't matter if someone said a few words behind her back, but it would be very embarrassing in front of Zhou Shengchen himself.

Especially, the relationship between her and Zhou Shengchen is still so awkward.

Seeing Ling Xi lowering her head and refusing to look at him, Zhou Shengchen's originally happy mood upon hearing the title of brother-in-law suddenly fell.

He said, "Ling Xi, take Shi Yi back first. I want to talk to King Qin."

Ling Xi hurriedly bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, she pulled Shi Yi and ran away, so fast that it seemed as if something terrible was chasing her.

After Ling Xi and Shi Yi left, King Ping Qin looked at Zhou Shengchen with a look of disappointment and complained:

"Why haven't you married your sister-in-law yet? Although she is in your house now, she has no official status after all. It's not good. You should make your feelings clear to her as soon as possible, and then let her become your Nanchen Princess and announce it to the world. That would be great."

Zhou Shengchen hid the disappointment in his eyes and said to King Ping Qin, "Didn't I tell you not to call Ling Xi your sister-in-law anymore? If someone hears this, it will damage her innocence."

King Ping Qin glared and started to complain, not giving Zhou Shengchen any face at all:

"How could I not know what you are thinking? Tell me, if you really didn't have any feelings for her, would you be so nice to her and consider everything for her? You also have Hong Xiaoyu and Feng Qiao in your palace, but I haven't seen you treat them the same way you treat Ling Xi? Not to mention, you brought her back and lived together for seven years, seven years!!"

"I saw it for real last year in Pingqin County. She was treating the soldiers, and you, a powerful little prince of Nanchen, followed her closely, carrying her medicine box. I don't even want to describe the gentle look in your eyes."

King Ping of Qin covered his eyes, looking as if he saw nothing.

"Today, I am here, just tell me one thing, do you have feelings for Ling Xi? If you really have that feeling, I will go and ask her for your hand in marriage. And with your status, you don't have to consider your status as a wife, as long as you like her."

King Ping Qin approached Zhou Shengchen and stared into his eyes carefully, as if trying to see his attitude towards the matter.

But King Ping of Qin was disappointed.

Zhou Shengchen's eyes were very calm, and he was not affected by his words at all.

"Next time, don't call her that in front of Ling Xi. She is thin-skinned and easily shy." Zhou Shengchen advised.

The previous reaction made King Ping Qin furious, and the following words made him confused.

Does this guy like Ling Xi or not? If he doesn't like her, it's hard to justify his treatment of Ling Xi. If he does like her, why doesn't he express his feelings and marry her?

These two ideas kept fighting in King Ping Qin's mind, making it impossible for him to distinguish them at all.

Seeing that King Ping Qin stopped talking, a flash of sadness passed through Zhou Shengchen's eyes.

He also wanted to express his feelings to Ling Xi.

He had thought about it three years ago, and had been thinking about it ever since.

But every time he wanted to say those words, Ling Xi would find an excuse to avoid him, leaving him no chance to speak at all.

The look of avoiding him made Zhou Shengchen doubt several times whether Ling Xi had any feelings for him.

As time went by, he no longer dared to speak out these thoughts.

He was afraid that if this layer of paper was torn, their relationship would never be able to go back to the way it was before.
