Yu Chaoyang was stunned.
How is this possible!
This was beyond her expectations.
When did Yu Yuanzheng learn to play the piano? How come she didn't notice it at all?
She couldn't play it at all just now, and she was deliberately trying out some notes to cover up the fact that she didn't know how to play it.
But now, she was slapped hard.
This is not normal.
She had never heard this song before.
She has played all the famous pieces, but has never heard of "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond".
The key point is that this song is so beautiful, and it has lyrics and can be sung.
Although the words are very straightforward and can be understood by a three-year-old child, they are full of charm.
The princess had not expected that her daughter-in-law played the piano so well and sang even better.
This song is really beautiful, cheerful, beautiful, with a profound artistic conception and a fast rhythm.
Then I looked at my daughter-in-law's fingering method when playing the piano. How come I have never seen it before?
She can play the piano too, but why didn’t her husband teach her these fingerings?
Just a shake of the finger was enough to make her feel that she was far behind.
My daughter-in-law can actually sweep and shake.
"Oh my God, what level has this reached?" the princess exclaimed.
This exclamation caused the prince to look sideways at the princess.
The prince said nothing, but just listened carefully.
What no one noticed was that the prince was tapping his hands gently on his knees.
He also knows a little about music.
Which of you young men and women hasn’t learned this?
The emperor on the throne had closed his eyes, listening to the beautiful music with enjoyment.
The queen stood up and walked to Yu Yuanzheng's side, watching her dancing on the strings with both hands.
At this time, the qin is usually played mainly with the right hand, with the left hand at most providing assistance by pressing and rubbing.
But Yu Yuanzheng used both hands at the same time, the speed of his two hands was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the coordination was extremely exquisite.
The queen was amazed.
An idea came to my mind.
She wanted to send the eighth princess to Prince Tang's palace to be her apprentice.
When the last note is played, the lingering sound still echoes.
The whole place was silent.
It was not until the queen clapped her hands that people woke up from their dreams and the applause was thunderous.
"Haha..., I have never heard such beautiful music. The eldest young lady is really unexpected. I want to hear it again, can you play it again?" The emperor laughed heartily.
"No problem." The emperor's request certainly could not be rejected.
Yu Yuanzheng played and sang again, and the queen still stood by and watched how her hands played such complicated fingerings.
But sometimes the movements were so fast that she couldn't see clearly.
Everyone enjoyed the beauty of the world again.
Yu Yuanzheng returned to her seat amid applause.
The princess smiled sweetly, took her hand and led her to sit beside her.
"I didn't expect you to give mother such a big surprise. Chaoyang also said that you can't play the piano. Mother's predecessors were not as good as you."
"Mother, you are too kind. It's just a pastime, not worth mentioning." Yu Yuanzheng knew that it was actually because the sound of the qin at that time was not complete, the fingering was simple, and it was not as complex as it was later, and the range of notes was also small. Naturally, it was not so shocking.
In fact, she only played the piano so-so, but in this era, she would be a master.
"Second sister, when did you learn to play the piano? How come I didn't know? Your family didn't give you any lessons first." Yu Chaoyang was so angry.
How come it's Yu Yuanzheng instead of me who's the one stealing the show?
Her family hired a pianist for her, but she still couldn't play that well. However, this person who had never played the piano before conquered everyone's ears as soon as she started playing.
"Oh, I just took note of it when I saw you playing it." Yu Yuanzheng replied indifferently.
"What? This is impossible." Yu Chaoyang didn't believe it at all.
"I have a strong learning ability. I can understand something after reading it once and can also apply it to other situations. Is that not okay?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't want to say more to her. This sentence left Yu Chaoyang speechless.
Shangguan Zishu held Yu Chaoyang and wanted to say something.
"Don't be so serious. My sister-in-law plays the piano well to bring honor to the palace." Shangguan Zishu comforted her.
Yu Chaoyang had no choice but to give up, but he felt very uncomfortable suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Yuan Zheng."
"Yuan Zheng."
Two girls came running over.
"I'll go on stage soon, can you accompany me?" Cao Jinxuan took the initiative as soon as she arrived, not giving Yue Yuying any chance.
They both chose to dance.
"But the dance you perform may not match the music I play." Yu Yuanzheng was speechless. The dance and the music must correspond to each other. Not all music can match each other.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you choose a soft song to play, I can dance according to your rhythm." Cao Jinxuan was determined to invite her.
"All right."
The performance continued, and when it was their turn, everyone saw Yu Yuanzheng accompanying them. Everyone stopped talking and prepared to listen to the music.
Cao Jinxuan's dance was paired with "Spring River Moon Night", Yu Yuanzheng's dance was paired with "Fisherman's Song at Dusk", and Yue Yuying's dance was paired with "Fisherman's Song at Dusk".
Both songs are classic masterpieces, but the piano is not very good and the pitch range is not enough. But for the ancients, listening to them is like entering a paradise on earth.
It adds a lot of color to the two girls' dance.
Needless to say, there was applause.
After the dance, both girls came over and said that they danced better than ever before. With such music accompaniment, the beauties and the gorgeous clothes are absolutely perfect.
The two girls chattered non-stop, one said she wanted to learn piano from her, and the other said she wanted to teach her to dance.
Yu Chaoyang was envious.
Yu Yuanzheng was able to make close friends the first time she went out, and the second time she entered the palace she won the favor of Princess Lingxuan and also made good friends.
But she made an enemy instead, the Princess of Nanhua County.
The performances began one by one. When all twelve performances were over, the emperor stood up and praised all the young men and women who had performed.
But there is no doubt that the first place went to Yu Yuanzheng.
When she took the tael of gold, Yu Yuanzheng felt as if she was hit by happiness.
The money the prince gave me before was in the form of silver notes, which was not intuitive at all.
It was the first time she saw so much gold so visually.
If it were in the back, how many gold necklaces would it take?
It only takes about ten grams to make one.
One pound and two ounces, converted into gold, is six pounds and four ounces, which can make three pound gold necklaces.
Yu Yuanzheng smiled foolishly.
In fact, it is only worth one thousand and two taels of silver.
Thinking of this, she didn't feel much more.
"Madam, you just played three pieces of music. Could you please write down the scores? I will let the pianist in the palace practice with them. Then everyone will be able to hear these pieces of music when they enter the palace in the future." The queen made a small request.
"No problem, I'll write it for you in a couple of days." Yu Yuanzheng was very generous. This was not her patent.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that she had no idea how to write music in this era.
"What's wrong?" The princess asked when she saw her expression suddenly freeze.
"Mother, she can't write music at all." Yu Chaoyang took the opportunity to expose her shortcomings.
Yu Yuanzheng was embarrassed.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to do it, but she doesn’t know how to play the music of this era.
"No, go back and let your mother write it for you. All you have to do is play it and I can write it according to the melody." The princess patted the back of Yu Yuanzheng's hand to comfort her.
The banquet continued, and each family started to interact with each other.
Many people came to toast the prince.
At this time, a young man in brocade clothes came towards their table with a wine glass in hand.
His hair was tied up in a high bun, secured with a gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones. A few strands of hair hung down from his forehead and gently brushed across his well-defined cheeks, adding a bit of youthful vigor.
Although there was a smile on his face, Yu Yuanzheng felt that his smile was always somewhat gloomy.
"Meet the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, the second old lady, the second uncle, and the second aunt."
As soon as she heard him call someone by that name, Yu Yuanzheng knew who he was.
