Chapter 122: Playing for the Deaf (3) (1/2)

While Xiao Bojian was immersed in his overwhelming joy, he couldn’t have known that this method of confessing when used on Chu Lian was like playing to the deaf. She hadn’t even known that a song like ‘The Phoenix Seeks His Soulmate’ existed until today, so how could she know what the song was trying to express?

In the private room next door, Prince Jin and Tang Yan had looks of understanding on their faces.

Prince Jin waved over one of his personal guards and instructed, “Go and find out the identity of the player.”

His azure eyes narrowed together, and his gaze landed on the wall as if it could pierce through and observe the two ladies next door.

Which one of them was meant to be the recipient of this love song…?

It was just past 1pm. There weren’t many young ladies in Defeng Teahouse right now. The only ones who had just arrived were House Jing’an’s Third Young Madam and Royal Princess Duanjia.

After the song was done, Xiao Bojian wrapped up in style and switched with the teahouse’s usual player. The guard One took this opportunity to return and quietly report to his master that he had successfully carried out his orders.

The corners of Xiao Bojian’s lips curled up and he nodded.

He stood up quickly, striding out to a room where he wouldn’t be noticed. Under his wide sleeves, he held tightly onto a plain brocade box.

As the music slowly faded, Royal Princess Duanjia nodded a few times. She couldn’t help but praise the player. “Setting aside the player’s looks, there’s nothing to criticise about his skills on the guqin. Anyone who can play the guqin to this extent can’t possibly be someone unaccomplished. This humble listener has been blessed.”

Chu Lian couldn’t understand her words at all. She could only tell that the song had been played well. However, to someone from the modern world who had heard all sorts of music and even gone to concerts, these ancient guqin songs weren’t much.

This was the problem of having too wide a world view. It couldn’t be helped.

Royal Princess Duanjia shot a glance at the slightly dazed-looking Chu Lian, who was drinking some mead. How could she be so unmoved after listening to such brilliant guqin music? Curiosity welled up in the princess again as she asked, “Chu Liu, what do you think about that person’s playing?”
