Chapter 34 – Competition The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)

Who is Qin Yuyuan? She is the princess of the northern Mongolian deserts, Prince Jing’s wife-to- be andthe future queen of Qingyan!

Then who is Murong Xue? She is the first daughter of the Zhen Country queen. She was initially the first wife-to-be of Prince Jing. However, Prince Jing demeaned her to a concubine; she was set up by Qin Yuyuan. But she didn’t want to be a concubine and did not want to be recognized as that position…..

The future queen of Qingyan and the first wife-to- be of Prince Jing met and now they’re going to compete! Even if they compete because they’re jealous of each other or it was to just purely to display their skills, this would be an impressive match!

It is so rare to see two remarkably beautiful women competing with each other, even if you’re just passing by, you mustn’t miss this!

The customers in the dining hall put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked towards the direction of the two private rooms. Their eyes filled with anticipation. The other customers who were in their separate private rooms opened their doors and came out to witness the occasion too.

Qin Yuyuan gently tuned her instrument and fixed a smile at Murong Xue: “Guests first, why you don’t take the lead?”

“No,” Murong Xue shook her head, her eyes glistening, “Let’s play together!”

Qin Yuyuan was aghast! Under normal circumstances, the Yangqin was meant to be played one after another. This was to let the observers compare who played it better and yet, Murong Xue wants to play it with her at the same time? Does she not know that the weaker of the two would certainly be outplayed by the stronger one? This would only emphasize how dreadful the playing of the weaker one was.

She must be pretty reckless; does she have a death wish? I shall grant her wish!

“Alright, let’s play together then! You first!”

“No Princess Qin, you first!” Murong Xue smiled politely; her small pale hands were placed on the strings.

“Xue!” Ouyang Shaochen looked at Murong Xue, his dark eyes showing concern- he had heard Qin Yuyuan played before, she was outstanding.

“Don’t worry, I might not lose!” Murong Xue smiled; her eyes were sparkling with excitement. She seemed really confident. The corner of Ouyang Shaochen’s mouth tilted to reveal a smile. Even if she lost, as long as he was here, she would not be in any harm or be wronged in any way!

“Vong!” Qin Yuyuan plucked the strings of her Yangqin.

She started first as she was disgusted with their intimate exchange. Her slender fingers plucked the Yangqin with great speed. Music streamed out melodiously. The observers were left astounded- this music should only be played in Heaven itself! We, mere mortals wouldn’t be able to comprehend and appreciate it! Princess Qin really has remarkable skills!

“Vong!” Murong Xue followed, music streamed out harmoniously. The observers nodded their heads; her skills were pretty good but not as good as Princess Qin. However, she did manage to express the charm of the tune exquisitely.

Seeing that Murong Xue managed to win the admiration of the crowd, Qin YuYuan narrowed her eyes and took a turn in her playing. The clear melodious tune turned into a sorrowful composition.

Almost immediately, it took effect and Yueyang Restaurant was filled with melancholy. The men were expressionless and continued to drink their wine. However, the women had tears in both eyes and were gently wiping them…..

The fact that she made the crowd shed tears, made her smiled proudly: to make people cry listening to music is considered as the highest achievement of playing Yangqin, she could do it so easily,

MuRong Xue still needs tens of years of practice to achieve that…..

Sensing Qin Yuyuan’s challenge, Murong Xue smirked. With her eyes glistening, she began plucking the YangQin with impeccable speed. A sudden wind arose and it was like the waters of the Yellow River gushes forward, it was like thousands of horses galloping together. The playing was so powerful and much louder that it made Qin Yuyuan’s playing almost inaudible. Throughout the whole restaurant, one could only hear the more powerful and compelling playing of Murong Xue.

Qin YuYuan’s face turned pale, she glared furiously at Murong Xue: So this was her idea all along! She knew she couldn’t beat her so she purposely played the higher note to make her playing less audible. Even if her playing was remarkable, people might not be able to hear it, that means she would lose. Such a disgusting tactic! Murong Xue met her glare, her mouth still smirking, as if to say: “Try playing an even higher note to make my playing less audible, if you can.”

Qin YuYuan’s expression darkened. She had met many players who did the same thing, but not one who could do it as well as Murong Xue…….

She knew she couldn’t make Murong Xue’s playing less audible. But she could use other ways to win…..

Qin YuYuan’s mouth curved into a curious smile, her slender fingers furiously plucked at her Yangqin, the delicate music hid an ominous energy that was propelled towards the direction of Murong Xue……
