Mr. Yunshang didn't expect that despite his fame, Li Ye would not give him any face at all.
He pulled Princess Ruyue to sit down by himself without even greeting him individually.
There was absolutely no respect for him, which made him very angry.
He snorted coldly and put his hands behind his back.
The prince was delighted to see this. Mr. Yunshang would definitely not let it go easily since he had created a rift between them so quickly.
There will be an opera at today's tea party.
Said to Mr. Yunshang: "Please take your seat, sir!"
Mr. Yunshang finally managed a smile: "Crown Prince and Third Prince, please!"
When the Crown Prince and the Third Prince heard that Li Ye was going to hold a tea party, they thought of the grand occasion of the road opening before.
I know that I must not let Li Ye steal the limelight this time.
Otherwise, many people would probably be won over by Li Ye.
After discussing with the third prince, the two decided to find a more powerful composer to surpass Li Ye at the tea party.
As long as Li Ye is hit, no matter how well he performs, he will be nothing more than a loser in everyone's eyes.
Everyone's attention will definitely be focused only on the winner, and Li Ye will be completely ignored.
After a lot of effort, even using the power of Yunlu Pavilion, we finally managed to invite Mr. Yunshang back in time.
With the help of this renowned composer, it would be easy to deal with Li Ye.
Under the huge interests, Mr. Yunshang agreed to help the two.
The prince's efforts were not in vain. Mr. Yunshang attracted a lot of attention after his arrival.
It divided the popularity of Li Ye and Princess Ruyue a lot.
Princess Ruyue is very smart, how could she not feel the change in the atmosphere?
He whispered to Li Ye, "This is really strange. It seems like Mr. Yunshang is targeting you on purpose."
"Oh, haven't you figured it out yet? They were hired by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince to suppress us.
As long as the music he composes is better than ours, he will steal all the limelight.
You should know that those present are either children of powerful people or quite talented young people.
The future is limitless.
The prince and his men are of course afraid that these people will be won over by us."
Li Ye said with a sneer.
Princess Ruyue was furious: "I originally thought he was highly respected, but I didn't expect that he was bribed to do such a dirty thing.
It seems there is no need to respect such people."
"Don't underestimate the temptation of power for such people!
After all, it seems that the crown prince has the greatest possibility of inheriting the throne.
If he is promised that he will inherit the throne and be appointed as the imperial teacher in the future, his name will be recorded in history.
I'm afraid no matter who it is, no one can refuse it."
Li Ye said.
"What he did was really too much, and we didn't offend him.
Trying to use us as a token of your loyalty is truly ungentlemanly."
"How many true gentlemen are there in this world? As long as the benefits are sufficient, they don't care about these things at all."
While the two were chatting.
The prince immediately suggested: "Mr. Yunshang has traveled far and wide and composed many pieces of music.
There are so many talented people here today, it's really lively. How about asking Mr. Yunshang to play a piece to open our eyes?"
"Mr. Yunshang has long been famous. It would be a great honor to be able to listen to him live." The third prince also followed suit.
Now that things have come to this, Mr. Yunshang will certainly not keep putting on airs.
After a brief pause, his gaze fell on Princess Ruyue.
"I've long heard that Princess Ruyue's zither skills are unparalleled in the world, and I'm looking forward to learning from her.
After I finish playing, how about Princess Ruyue also play a piece?"
Although Princess Ruyue had a very bad impression of him, after all, given her age, she had to show him some superficial respect.
Princess Ruyue replied, "Sir, you are too kind. It is just a compliment between friends. How can Ruyue compare with you?
Zheng Tuo can take this opportunity to ask the teacher for advice on playing the zither.
Since the master has ordered it, Ruyue certainly doesn't dare to refuse."
Seeing Princess Ruyue being so humble, Mr. Yunshang felt even more proud.
In his opinion, Princess Ruyue was so young that even if her piano skills were very high, they would not be that good.
It's just that some young people saw that she was beautiful and had a high status, so they all flattered her.
He had been traveling abroad for many years and had never heard Princess Ruyue play the piano, so he could only guess in his mind.
Even after being invited back, I had never heard any music composed by Li Ye.
He relied on his seniority to show off in front of everyone.
I had already been blinded by the promises made by the prince.
She thought it would be easy to defeat Princess Ruyue.
"In that case, I won't be polite!"
After he finished speaking, someone quickly placed the piano in front of him.
Mr. Yunshang said proudly, "I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers for ten years and finally completed a landscape poem!"
After saying that, he began to play.
Everyone present pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
As expected of his long-standing reputation, his playing is indeed quite good.
Every note touches one's heartstrings, like the gurgling of water, very comfortable.
It seems to really bring people into the scene of mountains and rivers.
The lingering sound lasts for a long time.
Li Ye thought to himself, "No wonder this old man is so arrogant, he really has some skills.
This song is also quite good.
It was considered a top-grade product in ancient times.
But it’s still quite different from the classic songs passed down in later generations.”
Li Ye listened carefully and had a new idea in his mind.
Since this old man has joined the prince and is against me, there is no need to be polite.
He must be stepped on hard on the spot, so that no one will dare to mess with him in the future.
When the song was finished, everyone was mesmerized by it.
They all applauded enthusiastically.
"As expected of Mr. Yunshang, his composition and piano skills are simply impeccable!"
"It's true that hearing it once is worse than hearing it for a long time. This song should only be heard by people in the mountains, how many times can it be heard by the world?"
"Princess Ruyue must be feeling the pressure now. I wonder if the music she brought today can compare to Mr. Yunshang's."
"Your comparison is a bit too much! Didn't Mr. Yunshang just say that?
This was a piece of music that took him ten years to create. He had practiced it countless times during these ten years and had already mastered it to perfection.
Princess Ruyue doesn't have that much time to prepare, so she will definitely suffer."
"Of course! The last time Princess Ruyue performed a piece of music, it amazed the entire capital.
Both the composition and the piano skills are impeccable.
Princess Ruyue's talent is unmatched."
Mr. Yunshang frowned as he listened to everyone's discussions.
He originally thought that his performance would win applause from the whole audience and no one would question his level.
I didn't expect that someone would start arguing.
It seems that he still holds out hope that Princess Ruyue will win.
This made him feel extremely unhappy, and he even felt that it was an insult to him.
No matter how pretty a little girl with curly hair is, you can't be too partial to her.
What we are competing for now is the skill of playing the zither. How can we praise Princess Ruyue so much just because we admire her beauty?
If it were in the past, he would have scolded these people to their faces for being blind and unable to hear the highs and lows of his music.
However, with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince present, he did not lose his temper.
He had secretly made up his mind that when Princess Ruyue performed, he would find flaws and criticize her harshly.
