Chapter 99 Miss Miao Yin’s Identity Revealed (2/2)
Lan You Nian’s white slender hands fiddled with the zither strings.Bright zither music gently sounded, gradually overflowing like tide, filling every space in the banquet.The zither seemed to have a white sprite dancing with the wind.The dance was elegant and noble.There seemed like there was an eye-catching rose blooming, elegantly emitting the fragrance of the music.
When Lan You Nian’s zither played, the entire banquet quieted.Everyone was immersed in the sound of Lan You Nian’s zither, even the Emperor wasn’t no exception.Noble Consort Lin and second princess who were waiting to see Lan You Nian’s humiliation were stunned and furious.Noble Consort Lin glared at second princess.
Lan You Nian opened her lips, the beautiful song seemed to awaken flowers, blowing away the haze.The music was flowing like clouds and water.The song seemed to be the cries of the nightingale.
(On the Water Side)在水一方 by Deng Li Jun 鄧麗君
“Green grass is dark green, white mist is foggy, there is a beautiful woman, on the water side.
Green grass is luxuriant, white mist is blurry, there is a beautiful woman, living by the water.
I am willing to go upstream, snuggle up beside her.Helpless against the rapids in front, the road is far and long.
I am willing to go downstream, searching for her direction.Instead it vaguely seemed, she was in the middle of the water.
I am willing to go upstream, to whisper sweet-nothings to her.Helpless against the rapids in front, the road endlessly twisting.
I am willing to go downstream, to find her footsteps.Instead it vaguely seemed, she in the middle of the water.
Green grass is dark green, white mist is foggy, there is a beautiful woman, on the water side.”
When Lan You Nian finished singing, she curtsied to the Emperor then returned to her seat.But everyone remembered her singing voice.The song was sometimes moving, like trickling water lightly humming with its own unique charm.Sometimes it was beautiful, as if the tinkling of the drew drops on bamboo leaves.
The Emperor suddenly announced, “Good!Indeed talented!General Lan has a good son and even has a such a bright daughter!”
Such a familiar zither, such a beautiful song, everyone couldn’t help but praise, but many people felt this sound was so familiar.
“Ah, Miss Miao Yin!” Suddenly a young master shouted at Lan You Nian.He was Miss Miao Yin’s loyal listener.Every time Miss Miao Yin went to Zhen Wei Pavilion he will always be there.Not only him, many people were the same.
After this young master’s reminder, everyone gaped in surprised at Lan You Nian.Then they felt it was possible the more they thought about it.Then many men looked in worship at Lan You Nian.Even the Emperor, although living in the imperial palace, has heard of Miss Miao Yin’s reputation.It was a pity he has never heard it before but to hear it now, it was truly the most beautiful sound in the world.
Second princess glared resentfully at Lan You Nian.In her heart, she always minded that this Miss Miao Yin was better than her in playing the zither.However, because the two did not interreact, this MissMiao Yin did not steal her own limelight, she would not do anything to her.But she didn’t expect Miss Miao Yin to be Lan You Nian.In the future who will remember her talent?How can the capital’s number one talented woman still belong her?This Lan You Nian, she’ll rememer her!
“Miss Lan is Miss Miao Yin?” second wangye Feng Shao Chu asked.After all Miss Miao Yin’s name was well-known.
“How can third sister be Miss Miao Yin?Third sister, the Emperor is here.You can’t lie!” Lan Ya said in concern but on the inside, she was hateful.The last time Lan You Nian was in the limelight.This time she was once again in the limelight.She was Miss Miao Yin!How was it possible!?Lan You Nian-that pitiful worm that they could beat-how can she become so dazzling!
Many people were certain that Lan You Nian was Miss Miao Yin.Afterall besides Miss Miao Yin who can play such a beautiful music?Besides Miss Miao Yin, who can sing such novel and elegant songs?But many people were suspicious.Miss Miao Yin was very famous, but no one dared to pretend because Wu Qing Pavilion was protective of Miss Miao Yin.If you dared to pretend then it won’t be long before you will appear in Xiao Jin Pavilion’s brothel selling your body.
“How is Nian’er meimei lying?What did Nian’er meimei say?You’re really funny!You just can’t see Nian’er meimei good!” Hua Mu Qing distained Lan Ya so couldn’t help mocking her.If the Emperor wasn’t here, she will definitely quarrel.
“How can I mean that?I’m only afraid third sister would lie for fame!” Lan Ya’s eyes filled with tears.
“Nian’er meimei didn’t say anything.How is it lying?Bedsides, Nian’er meimei is Miss Miao Yin!” Hua Mu Qing declared proudly.When everyone heard this, they started discussing.They didn’t expect Lan You Nian to be Miss Miao Yin.
“Lan girl, is Mu Qing telling the truth?You really are Miss Miao Yin?” Emperor asked curiously.
Lan You Nian’s twin eyes as dark as night, calm like pools of water, replied to Emperor,” Answering Your Majesty, this girl is Miss Miao Yin!” When she stood up to perform, she already decided not to deny her identity.Miss Miao Yin’s identity will not bring her any danger.
Admitted, actually admitted!Lan You Nian really was Miss Miao Yin!No one was suspicious.After all, in this world who dared to pretend to be Miss Miao Yin?Besides they heard with their own ears Lan You Nian’s zither, this can’t be denied.
The banquet ended with everyone’s shock.Many people before leaving took a peek at Lan You Nian.After today, the entire capital will boil over.Their goddess Miss Miao Yin was Lan manor’s third young miss!Now everyone knew why Miss Miao Yin didn’t show her face.It turned out Miss Miao Yin was disfigured.Although many people felt it was a pity but it didn’t stop them from admiring Lan You Nian.After all they liked her voice and zither, not her face.
