After seeing Li Jieyue off, Bai Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Jieyue was somewhat dissatisfied, she had at least let her pass.
He sat down again in front of the guqin and looked at Hu Meier, saying, "Meier, then I'll have to trouble you to help me practice."
"Yes, Miss, Hu Meier will do her best."
Waaaaah, practicing the piano with the young lady will destroy my confidence! But for the young lady's sake, I have no choice but to go!
"Young lady, you were a quarter beat too fast in one part when you played the guqin today. But that's partly because the piece is very difficult."
Yes, this is a piece that even Hu Meier found difficult, and that's Hu Meier's perspective, not Bai Yueyue's, who isn't even eighteen yet.
Back in her room, Li Jieyue saw Zhao Shuli looking at her with disapproval.
"Zhao Shuli, just say what you have to say. I will forgive your offense."
"Thank you, Madam. Please be lenient with Miss. Although Miss's performance today had some flaws, it was still perfect. I had the privilege of seeing the coming-of-age ceremony performance of the current imperial family's young master. Although he is also developing in all aspects, none of them can compare to Miss. Even his best skill, the piano, is not as good as Miss's."
Upon hearing this, Li Jieyue made a strange expression: "Are the young masters of the imperial clans this bad this year?"
"...Madam, please have some self-respect. The young master of the Imperial Clan already represents the highest level among all peers within three years of age in all twenty-eight cities. Apart from you, I doubt anyone would think he's inferior. Besides, the reason you think the young master of the Imperial Clan is inferior is because he's comparing him to you and the eldest young lady. Weren't the young masters of the Imperial Clan in your generation no matter what, they couldn't compare to you?"
"That's not right, his archery skills on horseback are better than mine."
"That's because archery is a skill that only boys learn! Even the lady hasn't learned it, and she was only slightly inferior to the other party in her first competition! Or rather, it's already a blessing that the lady didn't make the young lady learn archery as well."
“You’re right. Should I consider letting Yueyue try learning horseback archery as well?” Li Jieyue was genuinely considering this, because she didn’t think horseback archery was that difficult. It was just that Li Jianchuan and Lü Dan had firmly refused to let her learn it.
"Absolutely not! Madam, your education of the young lady is too strict. I will definitely cut back! Please be more lenient with her!"
