In front of them, a noble lady was playing a flute and a zither, and the sound could be heard outside the hall. In the side hall at the back, a maid brought up Princess Jin'an's zither.

Jiang Muyu sat down and tried the tone. He plucked the piano lightly and it was loud and thrilling. It was indeed a rare and good piano.

Jiang Muyu's guzheng skills are average, but she initially learned the guzheng just for this one piece of music. She might not be able to play other pieces well, but she practiced that one piece no less than a hundred times. Although her skills might not be sophisticated enough, she still has no problem playing it completely.

Most of the talent shows in front were done in collaboration of two or three people, but Jiang Muyu still had to wait for half an hour before it was her turn.

They are the ones who have reached the pinnacle.

Jiang Muyu did not tell Jiang Muxue what song he would play later. He just let her warm up by herself and dance to the music later.

The maid came to help her move the zither to the front hall. She straightened her clothes and walked out. There was a wide platform in the hall, located in the front center, just enough for the young men and ladies on both sides to see it.

Jiang Muyu sat down, adjusted his breathing, and gently placed his fingers on the strings. As his fingertips moved, a loud and pleasant sound came out.

Jiang Muxue was dressed in a white dress whiter than snow. She posed at the sound, her sleeves half covering her pretty face, looking charming and graceful.

All the young men in the audience stared in amazement.

Jiang Muyu then began to play, and everyone's attention shifted from the dance to the music.

At first the melody is plain and profound, playing slowly, and if you listen carefully, it is like a painting by a Yuan Dynasty artist.

Then I played the zither without knowing how to play this tune, as if I were walking on a mountain path. It was a quiet pastime, and it was truly a great antique.

Then suddenly, there are a few ups and downs, shocking and exciting. The beauty is that it is neither too fast nor too slow, and after entering the chaos, it is very refreshing. It is lightly described, but the interest is endless and profound.

This was a song that no one had ever heard before, but it mesmerized everyone present. The tones intertwined, rose and fell, developed, and changed unpredictably, making everyone's emotions rise and fall with it.

Who would have the leisure to appreciate a dance at this time? Moreover, Jiang Muxue's dance steps did not follow the tune. She could handle it at first, but it became more and more difficult as time went on. Her soft body could not dance out the majestic momentum of the song, which made her break out in a cold sweat and she accidentally fell off the stage.

Someone reacted and rushed forward to help her.

Jiang Muyu's playing was gradually coming to an end. After playing the last note, she placed her hands on the strings and stopped the sound.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

After a while, someone reacted and started clapping, and the rest of the people gradually came to their senses and started clapping and cheering.

Jiang Muyu exhaled slowly. She was sweating all over as she played the piece "Guangling San". Thanks to her good body skills and the fact that she could play this piece of music, the two were surprisingly integrated. She played to the point of ecstasy and could no longer tell whether it was her brain that was controlling her body, or her body that was controlling her brain.

But no matter what, she played it perfectly and better than any other time before.

Princess Jin'an couldn't stop praising her, saying, "Princess Rui is still as charming as ever. She played a piece of music that was so touching."

Princess Rong An said: "Sister-in-law is indeed the most talented woman in the capital at that time. I'm afraid no one will be able to match her piano skills in the next hundred years."

Others followed suit and started praising him, saying everything they could think of that was nice.

Jiang Muyu knew that these people might really think that she played the piano well, but most of the time it was because of her identity. Besides, she was married and posed no threat to these girls, so they were willing to praise her.

If any unmarried woman present here showed off like this, she would probably become the target of public criticism.

Even though she understood all this, Jiang Muyu still stood up and bowed gracefully, saying, "Thank you all for your compliments. I am just showing you my humble skills to help you have fun."

Over there, Jiang Muxue was carried to the seat. She pouted her lips, her eyes filled with tears but she refused to let them fall. She looked like she was about to cry but was enduring the pain. She was very pitiful and any man would feel distressed when seeing her.

Jiang Muyu then noticed her condition. He walked over and saw a red spot on her ankle, and knew that she had really sprained it.

"How did your sister get hurt? Have you asked someone to call a doctor?"

The man next to him replied in a bad tone: "I have asked the maid to look for it."

Jiang Muyu looked at the man. He had a handsome appearance, and could even be called handsome. He was well-dressed, and looked like a son of a wealthy family. But she had no impression of this face, probably because the original owner had never seen it before.

"Who is this?"

"Sister, this is the eldest son of the Zhong family." Jiang Muxue answered with a hint of tears in her voice, looking so pitiful.

"Oh? Are you Zhong Lei?"

"The princess has heard of me?" Zhong Lei didn't expect that he had never been an official in the court and had never met the princess. How could the princess know him?

Jiang Muyu said: "I heard by chance that your aunt and I are old acquaintances."

So that's how it is. Zhong Lei didn't think much about it.

Princess Jin'an also came to see the situation. After all, she was the organizer of this poetry meeting and was also worried that something might go wrong.

The doctor came quickly, and after examining her for a while, he said, "The girl is fine. It's just a minor sprain. It looks scary, but if you apply some medicine regularly, she will be fine in a few days."

Princess Jin An breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine."

Jiang Muyu said, "Thank you, Doctor Lao. This matter is caused by me. Let my personal maid go with you to get the medicine."

"Sister, don't blame yourself. It's my fault that I don't have much talent. I didn't expect your song to change pitch so quickly. I've never heard such music before." Jiang Muxue's eyelashes were slightly compressed, making her look even more sad.

"Uh..." Jiang Muyu felt speechless. She knew that Green Tea and White Lotus would take advantage of the situation. On the surface, she was making excuses for her, but when she listened carefully, she realized that she was blaming her for not communicating with her in advance before playing such a song, which caught her off guard and caused her to sprain her foot.

Jiang Muyu was too lazy to be polite and said in a cold voice, "Sister, what you said is wrong. I didn't want to play the piano at first. It was you who took the initiative to ask me to dance with you, so I played a song reluctantly. My original intention was to let you show your face in front of the nobles. Now that you are injured, you say that your dancing skills are not good. Then you shouldn't have said anything about dancing with me at the beginning. You should have directly asked me to accompany you. I might as well play a song that you are good at."

Jiang Muxue's face turned pale and red at what she said.

She didn't expect Jiang Muyu to embarrass her in front of so many people without caring about their sisterly relationship.

"Sister..." Two lines of tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. She pulled Jiang Muyu's sleeve and whispered in a sobbing voice, "I was wrong, sister..."

Most of the men present felt distressed when they saw the beauty crying, but because the other party was Princess Rui, no one dared to be the first to speak out.

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Princess Rui, why are you so aggressive? The music you just played is definitely not something that ordinary people can dance to. Miss Jiang has already done her best."

Jiang Muyu frowned and looked over. The person who spoke was the legitimate son of Marquis Xuanping, who was also Jiang Muxue's husband in the original text.

She had no good feelings towards this person, so she responded bluntly: "Which eye of yours saw me being aggressive? I was just speaking the truth."

"Even if she is aggressive, what can you do?" As soon as Jiang Muyu finished speaking, a clear and slightly low male voice spoke.

Jiang Muyu's eyelashes twitched, and she looked towards the palace door. Sure enough, she saw the tall man in black clothes walking in under the falling sunlight.
