Jiang Ranli was so frustrated she felt like spitting up blood. She had just been confessed to by the male god she had a crush on for several years, and before she could even hold his hand, she tran...
What happened in between? Why did she, who had clearly climbed into the bed of the current Fourth Prince, appear in Jinan, Shandong with another man?
Yin'er was lost in thought, and just as he was thinking, a graceful woman wearing a veil on her head began to perform on the stage. It was the song he had ordered, called "Promise".
When the song "Promise" ended, it was greeted with a lot of applause in the Frost and Snow Courtyard, and even the Tenth Prince couldn't help but applaud.
"I didn't listen carefully to the lyrics of this song last time, but now that I have listened to it carefully, I am really moved. The emotions expressed in this song are really enviable."
The Tenth Prince sighed repeatedly and couldn't help humming a few lyrics, but he was tone-deaf and the tune he hummed was a bit harsh.
When the officials around him saw this, they said, "Master Shi, if you like it, I will ask someone to buy the lyrics of this song and send them to you."
The Tenth Prince was originally immersed in humming and singing to himself, but his attention was immediately drawn to these words, "What did you say? If you want these lyrics, you have to buy them?"
The Tenth Prince was really enlightened. It was the first time he heard of such a thing.
The official nodded and began to explain in detail, "The music of Frost and Snow Courtyard is quite unique and rarely seen outside. Scarcity makes things valuable, so it is much more valuable than ordinary music."
Hearing this, the Tenth Prince nodded in agreement. He understood the principle that things are valuable because they are rare.
"It costs eighty taels of silver to order this piece of music. How much silver do you need to buy the lyrics?"
"About five hundred taels of silver," the official replied.
Originally, the Tenth Prince was sitting comfortably with his legs crossed, but after hearing these words, he suddenly felt unwell and crossed his legs elsewhere. It took him a while to readjust his posture and come to his senses.
What a profiteer!
In the past, the Tenth Prince thought that the best businessman in the world was his Ninth Brother, but now he doesn't think so. Compared with the boss of Frost and Snow Courtyard, his Ninth Brother is not the best businessman. After all, no matter how good his Ninth Brother is at business, he would not ask for such a high price.
Thinking of this, the Tenth Prince moved closer to Yinzhen and said, "Ninth Brother, this brothel is so shady."
Even though the Tenth Prince was the Emperor's son and was undoubtedly wealthy, he still found it unbelievable that five hundred taels of silver could only buy a piece of music.
Yin'er's handsome face was stern and he glanced at the Tenth Prince and said, "Buy it."
The Tenth Prince originally expected his Ninth Brother to complain with him, but seeing that his Ninth Brother's mood was getting worse and worse, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, wondering if his Ninth Brother was scared by the high prices here.
The Tenth Prince guessed many reasons why Yinzhen was in an increasingly bad mood, but none of them was correct.
Yin'er's whole body was filled with a deep chill at this moment. He felt more and more that Frost and Snow Courtyard had a close relationship with Jiang Ranli. Others might have forgotten it, but he remembered that when he saw Jiang Ranli for the second time more than three years ago, she was playing the piano in a pavilion outside the city. At that time, she said that the music was composed by her.
Although later on the grasslands outside the Great Wall, the emperor asked her where such a unique song came from, and she replied that she learned it from a folk artist, Yinzhen knew that it was just her excuse.
So, although the music he heard now was different from before, Yinzhen felt that she was the only one in the world who could come up with such a music.
Just as Yinzhen was lost in thought, the waiter from Frost and Snow Courtyard came over with the lyrics they had bought at a high price.
