Xie Yun only looked at her after hearing what Yi Ning said. Knowing she was being given a way out, she hummed and said, "...I learned this from my mother since I was little."
Seeing this, Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "It was because of my lack of consideration. It's a good idea to practice the pipa." She told Mother Song to get two pipa instruments.
Luo Shenyuan looked at Yining. He didn't know that this little girl could play the pipa.
Yining hadn't played the pipa in ages. It wasn't until she found one in Wei Ling's warehouse that she finally got interested. Seeing she liked it, Wei Ling let her take it back. Even now, touching the pipa's strings still felt a bit unfamiliar. She sat on the armchair in the main hall and looked up to hear Xie Yun's performance. She was playing "Zhaojun Departing to the Frontier." Her fingering was deft, the tune melodious, and she lived up to her reputation as a talented woman.
After Xie Yun finished playing, the whole room applauded, but Xie Yun seemed not to hear it. She put down the pipa and looked at Yining. The little girl's fingering looked quite similar.
Yining plucked the pipa strings, making a few soft ding-dong sounds that sounded a little unfamiliar.
Xie Yun frowned.
Yi Ning ignored everyone else's expressions and tried a few notes before finally settling on the string. With a slight movement of her fingers, a low, raspy sound emerged. Then, the notes became rapid, as detailed as drumbeats, yet the melody was mournful. The drumbeats grew faster and faster, evoking the dullness and desolation of a battlefield.
Xie Yun's expression changed slightly, and everyone looked at Yining.
Yining wore a lake-blue satin jacket and a snow-white skirt. The sunlight filtering through the lattice fan had a unique radiance. She held her pipa, the golden light shone upon her, almost dazzling her. Her expression seemed to grow calm and solemn as the music played, even a hint of forlornness.
Overlord Takes Off His Armor is a set of music with Ten Sides of Ambush. However, Ten Sides of Ambush is a grand war song, while Overlord Takes Off His Armor is a sad song of defeat. She has always liked this song the most, and it was also her biological mother's favorite. Now, when she plays it, the same emotion gradually comes over her, and she remembers how serious and attentive her wet nurse was when she taught her. The sadness that she could not understand when she was young, she only understood it when she grew up. When she played it for Lu Jiaxue, he just smiled and said to her with a frown, "Everyone else is playing the song of spring and snow, but you play this for me!"
She just thought Lu Jiaxue was being lazy and didn't listen to her playing seriously.
Outside Jing'an Residence, Wei Lingzheng and Lu Jiaxue were on their way to Jing'an Residence, escorted by guards.
Lu Jiaxue's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he heard the faint sound of a pipa.
Wei Ling saw him pause, seemingly listening carefully, and said with a smile, "I wonder what song he's playing, but it sounds pretty good."
Lu Jiaxue listened for a long time before he whispered, "It's Overlord taking off his armor."
