C134 (1/2)
At the start of the luncheon, there was no lack of people waiting to welcome them.
Bai Ruyue sat there obediently as she listened to the group of people bullsh * t for a full quarter of an hour. Finally, after Lord Commander gave a yawn and grabbed his chopsticks, he had no choice but to start eating.
As the song and dance began, the bell began to chime.
The aristocrats' etiquette and demeanor began to show, one after another. The crown prince's displeasure at having his limelight stolen from him by a certain Overseer, also finally disappeared into thin air after a cup of wine had been respectfully welcomed.
Could it not dissipate?
All of the princes and descendants consciously toasted the crown prince, leaving Ye Feng, this pretentious guy, hanging in the air.
Therefore, monkeys were monkeys. In any case, they were not true kings!
After Bai Ruyue stuffed a peanut into her mouth, she looked at a certain Overseer with some sympathy.
”Ahhh!” Suddenly, a certain Overseer cleared his throat and interrupted the Kabuka show, as well as Zhong Ding's melodious performance, ”Duke Yi, your zither skills are so outstanding. Just drinking with Your Highness is too much fun.
Duke Yi Sha Yanliu was startled, then nodded: ”That's right, today Yan Liu, His Highness the crown prince and all the royal grandchildren are all coming to hunt, and we can only have fun together.
Sha Yanliu did not plan to show off his zither skills in front of others. After all, he was not some expert in music.
However, since someone had mentioned it, he couldn't not agree. Since they had already said that it would be a form of entertainment for His Highness, he naturally only had the rights to play it.
”Great!” It is said that the Duke Yi's zither skills are outstanding. It is truly a happy matter to have you to help them get their spirits up, sorry for the trouble. ”
The Crown Prince was very polite. The servants quickly went to get a zither and set up a stage in the middle of the stage. A zither covered with purple light was placed on top of the stage.
Bai Ruyue raised her brows.
Good zither!
With just a glance, Bai Ruyue knew that this guqin was worth a lot.
The purple light was a type of divine wood that took at least five hundred years to create.
As for the zither head's zither, she knew that it was the zither created by the zither master, Yinyin.
She immediately glanced at Overseer, hoping that he would understand that this ”avenger” of hers, Alexander, was able to increase the level of her zither by at least thirty percent. She didn't even have a decent zither, and although she had the confidence to compete with this person, it would definitely be a slap to her face.
She didn't want to put herself in a situation of hatred for others.
However, Lord Commander actually grabbed the chopsticks and heartily ate and drank, not even sparing the guqin a single glance.
Sigh!
Bai Ruyue's heart was filled with bitterness. She was hoping that an outsider from the Rhythm School would understand her difficulties, but she was also drunk!
”Duke Yi, could this zither be Ao Ya?” Overseer did not know what was good for themselves, but there were still people who knew what was good for them, and the crown prince had a look of joy on his face.
”Your Highness, last month, my master passed this zither to me!” Sha Yanliu said with a face full of pride: ”The reason why I brought it along this time around, is because I want to use this zither to lure the demon into the hunting grounds for Your Highness!”
”Alright!” The Crown Prince was so happy that he slapped the table, ”This is such a good idea!” At this moment, what will Yen Liu play for me? ”
”At such a joyous and joyous time, let's play a song, 'Flower of the Spring River'!”
After Sha Yanliu finished, he stood up and washed his hands of the Crown Prince's praise, then returned to the zither stand and sat down cross-legged.
The two strings of the zither were strung together, and the noise was removed. Following that, a string of melodious sounds swayed, as if the bright moon shone in the sky. After a short pause, waves began to rise from the melody, as if clear and melodious waves were rippling …
The zither notes lingered in the air as everyone seemed to have left the bright afternoon, blending in with the beauty of the moon.
As the wind danced and the clouds scattered, the water rippled. In the darkness of the night, the pleasure boats glimmered with neon lights as the birds chirped and danced.
