The banquet hall in the palace, which can accommodate hundreds of people, is already full, and the empty seats in the middle of the hall are undoubtedly reserved for the royal family, and the long curved table of the banquet extends outward around the middle seats.

If you look down from the air at this time, you can see a clear map of the power structure of the Bright Empire, with the royal family in the middle, and the circle closest to the royal family is surrounded by four earls and ministers, that is, the heads of the four noble families, the two cardinal archbishops of the Bright Holy See, the three scholars of the Imperial Academy, and the ambassadors of the other four countries. Outside the circle, there are dignitaries and high-ranking officials from various institutions and fields of the empire, most of whom are members of aristocratic families. Further out, there are all kinds of people sitting close to the center, such as wealthy merchants, scholars, celebrities, warriors, distinguished guests, and so on. The outermost circle was occupied by ordinary officials and idle people who came to the banquet in connection with the trust, most of whom were from civilian backgrounds.
While waiting for the royal family, the banquet hall was full of rumors about the engagement.
A symbol of bravery, loyalty, and the embodiment of heroism, knighthood is undoubtedly the most popular status among women, especially the knight of medals who has stepped into the rank of the strong. Adams is one of the seven knights of the Empire, and the medal he was awarded is the Bronze Medal, the Bronze Horseman Adams is one of the most popular men in the royal city, and he is now about to marry the royal family, which makes many aristocratic girls who usually love him inevitably a little tasteful, not to mention that Princess Elizabeth is not beautiful at all.
The noisy sound in the entire hall made Earl Tiger frown, and looked at his son beside him out of the corner of his eye, and found that Adams was unmoved, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was also proud of his son's calmness, as the eldest son of the Obsidian family should be.
Adams sat like a mountain for a long time, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on him through the crowd, he subconsciously looked, but could not find a trace.
While he was wondering, he heard the sharp voice of Chief Pritsch and the arrival of the Emperor of Light.
All stood up to greet them.
The two lines of imperial guards lined up, and the Bright Emperor slowly walked in from the middle, followed by his three sons.
The sharp face of the Emperor Susilo XVI was angular, his sideburns were already gray in his fifties, and wrinkles of age appeared on his forehead, but it could be seen from his occasional burst of fine eyes that the old man was far from stopping.
When they were seated, the servants brought their meals to the table.
The Emperor of Light raised his glass and said loudly, "For the goddess!"
All the people raised their glasses and said, "For the goddess!"
Drink it all.
The Emperor of Light put down his glass and said, "Welcome to my little girl's birthday dinner, and before we begin, I will bring you some music to cheer you up." ”
He patted his hands lightly.
The lights went out, and the banquet hall was dark.
A soft pillar of light like moonlight fell from the dome of the hall.
A young girl in a long white dress sat in front of a crystal harp, her long hair falling down, obscuring her face.
Under the moonlight, the girl seemed to be draped in a layer of silver veil, which looked particularly quiet.
She waved her jade hand lightly, and her ten fingers flicked, and a sound of heaven came slowly from far and near.
The sound of the piano is beautiful and quiet, like a quiet sea under the moonlight.
The moon was rising from where the water and the sky met, and the sparkling sea was sprinkled with silver light in an instant. The bright moon rose higher and higher, passing through the wisps of light veil-like clouds, sprinkling silver light on the forests, mountains and rivers......
Under the clear moonlight, everything is so hazy and beautiful, elegant and quiet.
This is the classic song "Moonlight Wonderland" by the soul of music muse.
The three masters of the Bright Church for thousands of years are the genius of painting and sculpture, the bard Philip White, and the muse of the soul of music. Someone once said that the music of the muse can go straight to the soul, and he left thousands of famous songs, the three most famous of which are "Dream of the Forest", "Moonlight Wonderland" and "Blue Starry Sky", and among them, "Moonlight Wonderland" is the most difficult to perform, except for himself, almost no one can reproduce the nature of the year, I didn't expect this girl to be able to interpret this piece to this point, rare, can be regarded as a once-in-a-century musical genius.
Owen, a scholar of the Academy Palace on one side, had the idea of accepting apprentices.
can perfectly interpret "Moonlight Wonderland", the soul of music muse, no matter how you look at this qualification, it is at the level of evil.
The sound of the piano suddenly became urgent, and Owen gasped, she actually made her own adaptation of this classic song, I really don't know if it was stupid or genius.
The sound of the piano gradually became excited, as if the moon was slowly rising, and the wind on the sea was stronger, the sea breeze made the sea jump, the waves danced with the moonlight, and occasionally touched the sleeping reef. A strong wind blew on the calm sea that had just been covered with moonlight, and huge waves rolled up. The moonlit waves rushed towards the shore one after another, and the waves became more and more rapid and high.
At the highest and most urgent moment, the music stopped abruptly. It's silent.
In the silence, it was as if a silent voice suddenly rose from the depths of the invisible soul. Some voices are melancholy, filled with infinite melancholy, others are contemplative, flooding with memories.
The low sound of the piano slowed down the pace, and it was as faint as a complaint. After the stormy sea, it is quiet again. It was as if the moon had risen in the sky, quietly looking at the calm sea, the moonlight shining on the sea, like a mother's hand caressing my cheek, so gentle, so kind.
The sound of the piano faded away.
After a while, everyone gradually woke up. What a beautiful piece of music!
The lamp came on again, and the pillar of light that had just shone from the top was a jaw-dropping pearl of the night, and the Pampas was salivating, and this bead could buy a small city, what a big deal.
The girl stood up and bowed: "Thank you for coming to my birthday party, offering a masterpiece of the master, seeing and laughing, please enjoy the meal." ”
There was an uproar, and it turned out that this was Princess Elizabeth, a princess with a mediocre appearance.
What was even more surprising was the three princes behind the Emperor of Light, they looked at each other, never knowing that Elizabeth was so skilled in the piano. The second prince, William, patted his head and muttered, "My goddess, the muses will be stunned when they hear it." I'm such a stupid fool, I can't even see a top luthier by my side all the time. ”
The noise faded away.
The Bright Emperor tapped his wine glass: "The banquet has officially begun!"
