During the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar in Qinghe County named Wang Ziqi. He lost his mother as a child and depended on his father for his life.

Since childhood, Prince Qi has been intelligent and intelligent, loves reading, and is very talented. Everyone says that he will become a talented person when he grows up. His father is also very pleased and often takes pride in him.

As time went on, Prince Qi became more and more heroic. He was generous and open-minded, but he was helpless but frustrated in the examination room and failed many times.

He was depressed in his heart, and swore that he would not marry if he did not achieve fame. Now that he is twenty-three years old, he is still alone.

This year's list was released, and Prince Qi was still unknown on the list. He was disheartened and speechless to go back to his father, so he lost his soul and wandered alone into the rivers and lakes.

In the late autumn of this year, Prince Qi passed through Suzhou by boat and suddenly encountered strong winds and waves. For safety, the boatman docked and prepared to avoid it. He would leave when the wind and waves were small tomorrow.

It was already dusk and twilight. The prince went ashore and walked around. He found that it was a remote wilderness with no people at all.

When he returned to the shore, the sky had completely darkened, and he saw the stars on the horizon, and the sad sound of autumn insects could be heard in his ears. Remembering his ill-fated fate, he couldn't help but feel sad secretly.

He took out his guqin from the cabin, sat on the shore, lit sandalwood, and played it on his own.

Just listen to the melodious sound of the piano, like sobbing, just in response to this sad scenery, in the silent night, the sound of the piano floated into the distance.

Prince Qi closed his eyes and immersed himself in the sound of the piano. Suddenly, he heard someone whispering beside him. When he opened his eyes, he found a woman standing beside him, with a little maid beside her.

Prince Qi had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and he was stunned for a moment. He stared at her intently, making the girl look shy. Only when he heard the girl coughing awkwardly did he come to his senses.

After regaining his senses, Prince Qi hurriedly stood up and bowed to the girl and asked, "Whose girl are you?"

The girl hurriedly returned the salute and said, "When I heard Young Master playing the piano just now, the sound of the piano was like the sound of nature, and it was endless. The little girl came to find it with the sound of the piano. I didn't expect to disturb Young Master's Yaxing. I'm really sorry!"

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, just like Yuling, which could be heard in people's hearts.

Prince Qi hurriedly said, "Don't disturb, don't disturb..."

The girl introduced herself again, "I am the concubine of Lord Li, the governor of Hangzhou, and my name is Xianglian. Madam is not as beautiful as me, and she doesn't like me, so she finds fault with me all day long. Lord Li was helpless and had to build a small house for me in this secluded place. He is busy with official business and does not come often. I wonder if Young Master is willing to come to the humble house for a cup of tea?"

Prince Qi was about to go with her when he thought that the governor's concubine would definitely arrange for someone to guard the house. If the other party found out, they would be unable to eat and walk away! He expressed his doubts.

Xianglian said, "There is only one elderly doorman here. She is Grandma Liu, and she is the closest to me. You don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Prince Qi was relieved to go with her. After walking for a while, an exquisite small house appeared in front of him. He entered quietly with Xianglian, but Grandma Liu did not find them.

When they arrived at Xianglian's boudoir, they saw that the room was exquisitely and elegantly packed. There was a sandalwood desk with four treasures of study and scrolls of ancient books. Behind the desk was a mahogany bookshelf with famous books and paintings neatly placed on the bookshelf.

Prince Qi casually flipped through a poem on the desk, sighed to himself, and thought to himself: Such a beautiful girl is still a talented woman, which is really admirable!

The female servant left after tea. The prince and the girl Xianglian sat opposite each other. The two talked about all things in the world, recited poems against each other, played the piano and painted.

Suddenly, eyes of the two met, the prince blushed unconsciously, and the girl Xianglian also lowered her head shyly.

Without a word, Prince Qi could no longer control his emotions. He walked forward and gently held Xianglian's thin waist and hugged her in his arms.

Xianglian pillowed on Prince Qi's arm and said faintly, "Tonight, I am fortunate to know and know you. I hope you can remember me in your heart."

Prince Qi was also moved, and for the first time he had the idea of getting married. He held Xianglian's hand tightly and said, "Not just tonight, if you are willing, I would like to promise you a lifetime of youth and come with me tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Miss Xianglian actually had red circles in her eyes, and she cried softly: "Thanks to the love of Young Master, with Young Master's words, my life is worth it, but I can only be husband and wife with you for one day, and I hope that Young Master will take care of you in the future!"

At this time, Dongfang had already revealed the white of the fish belly, and Xianglian urged Prince Qi to leave. The two said goodbye with tears. Before leaving, Xianglian gave Prince Qi a white handkerchief.

Prince Qi left sadly and returned to the ship. He opened his handkerchief and saw a poem written by Miss Xianglian on it:

Constantly revealing the truth of dust, the fragrant soul is surrounded by fragrant lotus flowers.

Now that I have fulfilled my romantic wishes, I will let the east wind fall into the dust.

After reading this poem, Prince Qi missed Xianglian even more. After thinking about it, he decided to fight for it again, hoping that Xianglian could marry him and roam the world.

So he returned to Xianglian's residence non-stop, but when he arrived here, he was taken aback. He saw that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, rife with vines, and very depressed. It was not the chic courtyard from last night at all.

Just when he was confused, the courtyard door opened with a "creak" and an old woman in her seventies came in. Wang Ziqi stepped forward to inquire, and he learned that this old woman was the "Grandma Liu" in Xianglian's mouth.

Granny Liu told Prince Qi sadly, "Miss Xianglian is indeed the concubine of the governor. She is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She loves poetry and painting, and is deeply loved by the adults. But because the eldest lady was jealous of her talent and beauty, she often held a grudge and poisoned her to death one day. When the lord found out, he was heartbroken and buried Miss Xianglian in the backyard of this house. Could it be that you met the ghost of Miss Xianglian yesterday?"

After listening to Grandma Liu's speech, Prince Qi was shocked and came to the backyard to see that there was indeed a tomb, which was full of wisteria flowers. He could no longer control it and sat in front of the grave weeping bitterly.

Prince Qi sat beside the tomb for a long time and talked a lot with Xianglian, telling him about his thoughts and the strange relationship between the two of them. Before leaving, he removed the weeds and repaired the tomb before leaving step by step.

The boat drifted away, and Prince Qi's mood became more and more melancholy. The white handkerchief in his hand fluttered in the wind, like holding the hand of Miss Xianglian...
