Chapter 510 Hua Yan
When the idea of "selection" was first brought up, Si Linglong just wanted to play around with the idea of playing house. After all, she couldn't really appreciate the singing style of the ancients, that melodious and graceful voice of flowers and willows.
But these singers specially selected by Fu Tai are not only good-looking but also have first-rate singing skills. Coupled with the fact that some played the zither and some harp and sang by themselves, it was like a large-scale talent show. Si Linglong listened with great gusto.
Halfway through, a petite singer came forward. Unlike the others, she did not carry a pipa or a musician with her. She came alone.
Si Linglong then noticed that this little singer seemed to be the youngest in the group. Not only was she slender, she even had some baby fat on her face.
"How old... are you?" Si Linglong couldn't help but ask her.
The little girl looked at her carefully, then quickly looked away, saying in a soft voice, "Your Highness, I am thirteen."
Manager Qu Yuan at the side couldn't help but get anxious upon hearing this and glared at her.
How many times have I told you to call yourself a slave in the palace!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This girl has only been in the palace for a month and has not learned the rules well."
When the little girl heard the steward's rescue, she pouted secretly, as if she didn't like the servant's self-proclaimed name.
Si Linglong didn't really care about these rules, but since she could ask a little girl who hadn't learned the rules to come over and let her choose, she thought that this little girl must be really capable.
"What's your name?" Si Linglong asked her.
"My queen, my name is Hua Yan." The little girl named Hua Yan replied to her seriously.
Si Linglong thought that the name Hua Yan didn't sound like her real name. It was probably a name given to the singing girls in the palace. She didn't care and just asked, "Do you want to sing a cappella?"
Hua Yan nodded immediately, "Yes."
I don’t know if it was Si Linglong’s illusion, but ever since the little girl named Hua Yan came forward, the singing girls around her subconsciously showed a little nervousness.
It seems that it was not Hua Yan who was chosen, but them.
Si Linglong was just curious when she heard Hua Yan starting to speak without waiting for her to say anything.
For almost an instant, the air in the pavilion seemed to be still.
"Who knows the ancient tune?
Everyone was shocked when they first heard it.
The beads fall on the plate one by one.
The sound of jade pendants jingling..."
As the woman sang, the tune, which was obviously not very ups and downs, brought out a melodious flavor through her voice. The voice was clean and clear, and seemed to have the aftereffect of the musical ensemble, lingering in the ears like echoes in the wilderness.
It took three days to wind up the beams, and that was all.
Si Linglong only wanted to say four words.
【The sound of nature. 】
Not until Hua Yan finished singing did the air around them seem to begin to circulate again.
Si Linglong was almost shocked. Not only did she give the other party her remaining two velvet flowers, she also snatched the remaining Shuhong and Qinglu flowers and stuffed them all at once.
With a sincere attitude and a serious tone,
"I hereby announce that you are the winner of this selection."
[Congratulations, sister, you made your debut as the center! ]
Hua Yan seemed to be quite happy. She took the velvet flower with great pleasure. Not only did she not look the least bit shy, but she even raised her chin towards the steward beside her, as if to say,
【See, I'm the best. 】
When the singing girls around heard that Hua Yan had won the title midway through the competition, they didn't seem to feel it was unfair at all. Instead, they had a look of "as expected" on their faces.
I think everyone is impressed by Hua Yan's singing voice.
Si Linglong also instantly understood why the person in charge wanted to squeeze Hua Yan into the line-up of singing girls even though she was so young and hadn't yet learned the rules.
Because strength is always the greatest confidence.
Regardless of what others thought, Si Linglong was mesmerized by the performance and could not help but applaud and praise her.
"Hua Yan, your singing sounds like the legendary mermaids."
Si Linglong sighed casually, but she didn't know that the people around her all looked confused when they heard her sing about the mermaids, obviously they had never heard of the legendary mermaids.
Only the little girl named Hua Yan suddenly looked at Si Linglong with obvious shock on her face.
Perhaps the little girl's expression stood out too much among everyone else's.
Si Linglong couldn't avoid seeing it even if she wanted to.
Especially the little girl, she didn't know how to cover up at all, her silly face had an expression that said "I'm exposed".
Si Linglong was a little confused at the moment.
She just described it casually...
[Is this true? ]
