26 Hua Xifeng 2 (1/2)

As the two people immersed themselves in playing their respective instrument, the audience could only watch in awe. They recognized the song right away as the legendary \”Two Lovers' Flight.\” They were even afraid to breathe loudly in fear it would ruin their once chance of a lifetime to hear this song in person. Because the man was covered with a veil, they couldn't see him, but the woman whose fingers flew across the Guzheng was a sight to behold.

The dress and hairstyle she had on was simple. The dress was peach colored with lotus flower embroideries. Her hairstyle was half up and half down, there was only a peach blossom hair ornament. Li Wei was not made beautiful by the things she wore, her beauty seemed to almost shone from the inside. Two words described her perfectly: heavenly beauty. This was the first time for many of the audience to meet Prime Minister Li Qian's niece. As the rumors, Li Wei was indeed an unmatched beauty. Even as she was standing before, her beauty was sure to be first rank. Now seated behind the Guzheng, her fingers gracefully played the strings, the tips of her hair slightly flew with the wind, and her lips spread into a smile, her beauty seemed to impossibly multiply.

Not only was the audience captivated, members of the royal family were also caught up in the music. The emperor whom had always desired to hear this song once again never imagined he would hear it today. This song was a great choice appropriate for a happy occasion of two lovers. Li Wei was wised to choose this song and also had the talent to match.

Not far from the emperor, Hua Xifeng's gaze never left Li Wei. He just met her moments ago, but she became more intriguing by the moment. He felt oddly familiar with her, despite not having met her before. It was as if there was a string that connected him to her. Even with her cold gaze, he found himself lost in her glare.

He had seen countless beauties before, but Li Wei felt different to him. Not only was she beautiful, she was humble and down to earth. The way she carried herself was graceful and of high standards. Her eyes often held a mysterious look, as if she knew things no one else did.

Hua Xifeng felt his heartstrings being tugged as Li Wei smiled lovingly towards the dark clothed musician beside her. The way she was smiling now, it was as if she was really playing with her lover. It was as if there were just the two of them in the world and no one else mattered. It was as if the two lovers poured their deep love with each note they played.

Even though he tried to look away, Hua Xifeng couldn't. His eyes were glued to Li Wei's every movement. The way she gently closed her eyes and moved to the music, the way her long eye lashes laid upon her cheeks, every little details were ingrained within him. Every note from her fingers were like arrows headed straight towards his heart.

Li Wei didn't notice anything other than Khan Bojing who was beside her. She sincerely conveyed her love for him through this song. Never in both her lives have she hesitated to reach towards the one she loved. She was bold, she was arguably shameless, and she was straightforward.

Even if they were modestly seated apart, she still felt the heat of his body radiating towards her. As she came onto the last part of the song where they would finally play in harmony, she gazed tenderly at him. Her eyes longing stared at him for a split second before she turned back to the audience. After all, they were not alone. She had to be cautious.

As the Guzheng and the flute played the last note, silence filled the pavilion. The audience were still left feeling amazed and had no immediate reaction. It was only when the emperor stood and clapped did they followed.

Li Wei bowed deeply and stood up. Before she walked back, Khan Bojing whispered, \”I'll see you soon.\”

She walked calmly back to her seat despite her jumping heart.

\”Miss, I always knew you are amazing!\” San'er whispered with praise as Li Wei sat down.
