The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: 223 Couples (two more together as one)

Du Xiaoyun wanted to sneak away.

The Princess Consort cried out sternly, “Stand still!”

Du Xiaoyun’s scalp tightened, and she obediently sat back down in her chair.

Du Xiaoyun was in a rush. It was rare for the Crown Princess to come to the girls’ school, and she wanted to go see the Crown Princess!

While she was still sitting in the chair, her eyes were always darting outwards, revealing her unwillingness to stay there.

The Princess Consort, angered by her own sister, cast a venomous look at her, short of snatching a candlestick on the spot and throwing it at her!

What wrong did she do in her past life to end up with a sister who is such a defiant?

Fortunately, Li Wanwan was sincerely engaged in the lecture.

She sat upright on the cushion opposite the Princess Consort, with a guqin placed on the small table in front of her, a gift from Teacher Xie during the last year’s examination.

The sound quality was excellent, which she liked and cherished very much, thus she took great care of it every day and kept it free from the dust.

Lanwan was very satisfied with today’s lecture. Being a commoner’s daughter, she could not fit in with most of the rich girls in the school.

On normal days she couldn’t even secure a spot in the music room, let alone a good seat in class. She was always the one at the farthest back corner, far, far away from the scholars.

But now she was in close proximity to the Princess Consort, she could hear more clearly, and understand more deeply.

The anger stirred up by her sister had faded considerably in the face of the diligent student Li Wanwan. The Princess Consort started to seriously teach Li Wanwan.

However, she was only teaching Li Wanwan. Du Xiaoyun was physically present but mentally absent, not paying attention at all!

The Princess Consort didn’t hurry to start her lessons, but first let Li Wanwan play a piece to assess her level.

The song Li Wanwan played was “Autumn Frost”, learnt this year. The melody was gentle and the sound resonant, not too challenging, but required great attention to detail.

“Not bad,” the Princess Consort nodded, “but your fingering needs more practice. How long have you been learning the guqin?”

Li Wanwan answered, “In response to the Princess Consort, I have been learning for a year.”
