My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Didn't you want to get some rest early?"

Inside the room, Tang Ningshuang saw Jiang Xiaobai enter and sit directly at the desk, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Um!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded gently: "Write a song before going to bed, it won't take much time."

Ultimately, that expert helped him a great deal.

Now... I've written this piece as a way of expressing my gratitude.

Tang Ningshuang nodded and stood to the side, watching curiously for a while.

She didn't understand what Jiang Xiaobai wrote, but she clearly understood the song title.

Cloud Palace Swift Sound?

What's this name?

Just as Tang Ningshuang was wondering, Jiang Xiaobai put down his brush, stretched, and walked towards the bed: "Sleep, sleep!"

Tang Ningshuang glanced at the score one last time before turning and going to the outer hall.

As time passed and the night deepened, the entire Zhenbei Marquis's residence gradually quieted down.

At this moment, the eldest princess sat quietly on the roof, her straw hat removed and placed beside her.

Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow, and her long hair would sway gently in the wind, making her look extremely beautiful.

A moment later, the princess seemed to realize something, and slightly raised her head to look behind her.

A figure in a white dress slowly descended from the night.

"Oh!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the eldest princess couldn't help but smile: "I thought Senior Sister wasn't coming tonight!"

The princess paused slightly, then continued, "Today, you forced my imperial brother to go to the prison himself!"

"He... seems to have some issues with you now, Senior Sister, doesn't he?"

"Perhaps!"

The woman in the white dress spoke calmly.

Clearly, she didn't care whether Xiao Jinxuan had a problem with her.

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but laugh again.

Sure enough, her senior sister was still the same as always.

She will abide by the rules.

But... outside of the rules, they won't give face to almost anyone!

Thinking of this, the eldest princess raised her hand and handed over a folded piece of paper: "Take a look, Jiang Xiaobai wrote this for you!"

Upon hearing this, the woman in the white dress immediately took the paper.

A moment later, a surprised voice rang out: "What a beautiful tune!"

"A good tune?"

The eldest princess raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with a curious tone, "Then how about Senior Sister demonstrates it?"

Yes, she also looked at the name.

The sound of the Cloud Palace is quite unique.

She was very curious about how the song would be performed.

The woman in the white dress did not respond immediately, but instead looked at the sheet music carefully again.

After a while, the woman nodded gently, raised her hand, and took out a bamboo flute from her person.

As soon as the bamboo flute was placed to the lips, the sound of the flute began to slowly rise.

At the beginning, the sound was very lively, and the melody quickly turned upside down.

The clear sound of the flute echoed continuously in the night.

However, under the control of the white-skirted woman's internal energy, the sound did not really spread out, but only circulated within the courtyard area.

The princess closed her eyes and listened quietly, but her expression was filled with amazement.

The music is extremely grand, and one can almost see clouds swirling and palaces hanging high in the sky.

It was as if countless figures were descending from the sky.

The music played one note after another.

When fast, it's like ten thousand horses galloping!

When the pace slows down, it feels as if you are in a cloud palace, looking down on the human world.

It is truly breathtaking.

The outer hall of the room.

Tang Ningshuang had already rested, but upon hearing the flute music, she opened her eyes.

Where did that flute music come from?

Could it be that this flute music is playing the tune that Jiang Xiaobai wrote before going to sleep?

And who is the master playing the flute at the lakeside pavilion?

Thinking of this, Tang Ningshuang wanted to get up.

But in the end, he gave up and continued to lie there, listening quietly, his surprise growing stronger.

This music... is truly extraordinary!

Jiang Xiaobai, who was on the bed inside, had already fallen asleep.

Upon hearing the flute music, Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes, listened intently for a moment, and then a look of admiration appeared on his face.

This person is truly a master, with many talents!

She can play the guqin, the erhu, and now she can even play the flute!

However, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to the increasingly faster-paced melody.

If Yun Gongxun played the flute from beginning to end like that, he'd probably suffer from oxygen deprivation in his brain.

I don't know how much time passed before the music slowly faded away.

The courtyard returned to silence only after the last sound faded.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, turned over, closed his eyes again, and went back to sleep.

On the rooftop, the princess opened her eyes, looked at the woman in the white dress who was putting away her bamboo flute, and couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't this piece be even better if played on a guqin?"

"meeting!"

The woman in the white dress nodded gently: "Playing the guqin produces a better sound, and if it were played with the pipa, it would have an even more unique flavor!"

As she spoke, a faint smile appeared on the woman in the white dress's face: "I really like this piece!"

"Yo!"

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess chuckled softly, "How rare!"

"I haven't seen my senior sister smile in so long!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the white dress immediately stopped smiling and said, "Let's go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the white dress lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure flew away into the air.

"..."

The princess watched the direction the woman in the white dress had left, and couldn't help but chuckle again.

This implies that her senior sister was embarrassed.

Shaking her head, the princess sat on the roof for a while longer before getting up and jumping down.

……

The next day arrived.

Jiang Xiaobai got up early, washed up quickly, and then had breakfast with the Princess and Tang Ningshuang.

Before they had eaten for long, hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian rushed in, his face beaming with excitement: "The palace has sent people; they're replacing the plaques outside right now!"

"Our Zhenbei Marquis's residence will henceforth be the Zhenguo Duke's residence!"

"Um!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai nodded, his expression calm.

He had already guessed this.

Since Xiao Jinxuan already mentioned it in court yesterday, it will definitely be implemented as soon as possible today.

After all, this matter shouldn't be delayed at all.

That's right. On the surface, it seems like Jiang Jingxuan is rebelling, but if it drags on for a while and people think about the issues carefully, the implications will be quite different.

Therefore, the plaque for the Duke of Zhenguo's residence must be hung up as soon as possible.

In this way, the world will only see one thing.

Jiang Jingxuan rebelled, while Jiang Jingcheng put righteousness before family.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian was still excited: "So, from now on, I'm also a member of the Duke's mansion?"

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle: "It's just changing a signboard, why are you getting so excited!"

With that, Jiang Xiaobai put down the bowl in his hand: "Go and prepare a carriage!"

"We're going to the Court of State Ceremonial later!"

"Alright!"

Zhang Xinnian responded with a smile.

Then he turned around and ran out in a hurry...
