Chapter 58: Art



Everyone in Zhaoshu Palace fell silent. Anyone with a bit of brains knew what the Regent King meant. But at this moment, the Second Princess behind Caisha remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

A low, hoarse laugh came out from deep under the veil, breaking the silence and attracting the attention of everyone present.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's voice came slowly.

"This princess has heard that the Regent Prince assists the Crown Prince and is both his teacher and friend. I just heard the Crown Prince sing a long piece. Although his skills are superb, it lacks a bit of agility. I was curious for a moment, is it that the Crown Prince is better than his teacher, or is it that the Regent Prince is just a little bit more skilled." Zong Zheng Xiaoting chose his words carefully after the colorful veil was lifted, and his eyes were fixed on the changes in the hazy figure not far away.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Situ Xunxiao and the people present gradually feel like watching a good show. Nangong Muxi hinted that Zong Zheng Xiaoting loved her, but she turned around and mocked the prince for his poor skills, belittling the ability of the regent king. She was indeed quick-witted.

The phrase "both a teacher and a friend" was obviously a fabrication. However, when it comes to diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Crown Prince and the Regent must go in and out together no matter what. At this moment, if the Regent denies the description of "both a teacher and a friend", then once this gets out, it will be an exaggeration. What a Second Princess! It seems that she is not an easy person to deal with.

Situ Xunxiao half-closed his eyes, casually looking into the distance while reading, but in fact he was staring closely at the colorful gauze.

For a princess like this, she, who can gain her trust, must not be a simple person. And it is even more incredible that someone who loves money so much can be the most trusted person.

Nangong Muxi raised his eyebrows. Although he concealed his passion for folk art, it did not mean that he could accept such ridicule. Zongzheng Xiaoting's rebuttal and ridicule inadvertently touched Nangong Muxi's sore spot.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was ready to counterattack, only heard the melodious sound of the flute. The ups and downs of the music, the majestic melody, seemed like thousands of troops were ready to go, swallowing up mountains and rivers, and it made people unconsciously imagine the magnificent scene of going to war.

As everyone was exclaiming in amazement, Nangong Muxi's flute suddenly stopped.

"I wonder if the Second Princess thinks that my flute music can make her feel the spiritual energy of music?" Nangong Muxi flexibly turned the flute in his fingertips, and then held the jade flute, holding it behind his back, and said provocatively: "However, I just heard the Second Princess's words, and I think she must be very proficient in music art to have such a profound understanding. I wonder if the Second Princess's talent is related to this?"

Sure enough, he is unwilling to give in!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting listened to Nangong Muxi's words and suppressed the smile on his lips. Although Nangong Muxi's impulse was beyond his expectations, just from what he expressed in the song just now and the musical art, it was likely that Nangong Muxi was extremely skilled in controlling the flute.

It seems that I have guessed the other party's tail.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his head. At this moment, if he lost face for Luozha Kingdom, he would also lose his own face.

No matter what, it's better to lose the person than the battle.

"My old illness has relapsed. I'm afraid that this song will end and I'll be laughed at." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said evasively.

"So what? I've heard Sister Xiaoting's music before. It lingers in my mind for three days." The third princess, Zong Zheng Yunchun, showed a pure smile and said innocently, "Chun'er hasn't heard Sister's music for a long time. It seems that I can enjoy it today."

Three days of hanging beams?!

At this moment, there were subtle changes on the faces of Zongzheng Xiaoting and Nangong Muchi.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes dangerously. Regarding Zong Zheng Yunchun's behavior at this moment, he would not think that it was just the talk of a child, nor would he think that it was a coincidence.

Zong Zheng Yunchun was sitting on the lower right side of Zong Zheng Xiaoting. Zong Zheng Xiaoting clearly saw her pinching her earlobe while she was resting her chin on her hand. Although, to the people sitting opposite her, Zong Zheng Yunchun was just resting her chin on her hand in a pure manner, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a plan in mind.

What is this called in psychology? Zong Zheng Xiaoting stroked his chin and looked at the innocent Third Princess on his right side. Most people would only move their heads so unconsciously when they were confused and irritated.

If it weren't for this little action, I would have taken it seriously and thought it was an unintentional act.

What is Zong Zheng Yunchun planning? He wants to frame me and still be so restless. It seems that he is impatient.

However, Nangong Muxi did not give Zongzheng Xiaoting a chance to think more. In his heart, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Today, the opera he heard in the inner courtyard was only known to be performed by a certain princess. No one in the palace banquet tonight could have shocked him so much. Could it really be her? This arrogant second princess?

Thinking of this, Nangong Muxi's heart was conflicted, but his behavior was better than his reason, and he blurted out: "Right now, it's just the princess and Prince Zhan who are hesitant, but I am looking forward to it."

"In that case, I am sorry for my mistake." Zong Zheng Xiaoting pretended to be hesitant and spoke slowly.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Zong Zheng Yunchun's smug smile. It looked like he couldn't keep such a person. Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a plan in mind and said, "Ning Shuang, bring me my pipa."

"Yes!" Ningshuang quickly stepped back to get her zither, while Zongzheng Weimo, who were sitting high up, also remained silent.

Just as Ningshuang put the zither into the colored yarn, the sudden sound of the strings plucked alerted everyone's cells and pores. Zongzheng Xiaoting had a confident smile on his face, and he played a pipa song of "Ten Sides of Ambush" at will.

The stirring melody shook heaven and earth, creating a tense atmosphere of swords and pipes before a big battle, making everyone present tense along with the music.

Nangong Muxi and Situ Xunxiao, who were standing by, showed a hint of surprise and admiration.

However, although Nangong Muxi tried his best to suppress his excitement, he could not hide his disappointment. When no one noticed, a very subtle sound reached Situ Xunxiao's ears.

"Xiao, what's your decision?"

Hearing Nangong Muxi's voice, Situ Xunxiao turned his head expressionlessly to look at Nangong Muxi, then turned his attention back to "Marry."

It was just one simple word, but it made Nangong Muxi's eyes filled with regret. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Situ Xunxiao's voice again, "We'll discuss this at midnight."

The brief conversation between the two was well concealed by the pipa music of "Ten Sides of Ambush". Nangong Muchi still suppressed his excitement, tightly pinched his palms, pretended to be calm, and listened carefully.
