The Banquet (7)

Xuan Yu grants Xi Yan's request despite her lost of conduct

He watches as the petite ets up

He watches as Mu Yan clutches a pipa on top of the raised platform

One is red while the other is whiteSuch distinctive colors; it is as though theflowers has just bloomed in front of himHe finds it hard to look away

Bai Li Nan too, naturally finds it hard to look away

His eyes are trained htly narrohile his lips carry traces of smilesHe looked lazy but playful at the same time

An emperor's heart is like a vast ocean

A concubine's heart on the other hand, is no more than a small spot in that ocean

Mu Yan's eyes are like waterShe shtly as she looks at Xi YanWith the pluck of a string, she begins playing, 'Feng Huai Xin'; overlooking water in the middle of the cold winter

The view is spectacular and so are the peopleThe song, even more so

The song is gentle andover the obstacles in one's life

She does not use yijia and used zhenxian instead, unyieldingly playing the sound without anyto the heart

Who would have known that the faertips?

And ould have thought that the mistake that started in the Lantern Festival would be so cruel and heartless?

This is her first ti this music for that person; to fulfil her promise from that timeThis will also be the last time

Because of everything that happened, their proless

The most coersIn one hand, she plucks the qinxian string while her other hand plays with the wuxian stringThe tone is low fro till the end

She has accepted everything but she still cannot bring herself to look up

She is afraidShe is afraid to look at hi she pent up within her will be seen by him

Everything is already too late for them

She was once so close to happinessSo, so closeBut everything has gone to waste
