Chapter 352: The Broken Sound of Gong from the Ravine
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sheng Zhiyao bowed his head slightly in thanks, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in his eyes, but he still maintained an elegant and arrogant appearance on the surface, "Actually, it's not impossible to play, but since it's a competition, there must be a color head, right?"
"Oh! It turns out that the county lord is worried about this again!" Emperor Xichu laughed heartily, and then said, "In that case, Lone will use this Wounded Moon Guqin as the color head, and the winner can get this qin, how about it?"
"Hmph~ I'm really a shrew in the market, so I want to make some benefits by playing the piano." Zilang looked at it from the side and sneered in his heart.
"Since it's a competition, how can you compare if you don't have a lottery? I don't like to take advantage of people!" Sheng Zhiyao said not to be outdone.
"You take advantage of us, and what you say is very eloquent, it's the first time I've seen such a shameless county lord!" Zihua finally couldn't help but speak again.
"Thank you for the compliment, but compared to being shameless, then I really can't compare to Princess Zichu of your country, who has been married and kissed us Shang Zhou, but the result is that we King Chen, King Chen doesn't want it, I finally married King Lan and didn't give up on letting King Chen, hey! I don't know if she's blind or blind!"
Sheng Zhiyao deliberately sowed discord, she didn't believe that the Emperor of Western Chu didn't mind, even if this matter was true, but this was also an ugly thing for the Western Chu royal family, and no man would like his daughter to stick to someone else's thing.
Sure enough, the Emperor of Western Chu turned gloomy when he heard this, there are not a few people here who heard Sheng Zhiyao's words, the secret of Zichu's marriage is really the biggest secret in the Western Chu Palace, Sheng Zhiyao said it in a grand manner, could it be that Shang Zhou already knew everything? Emperor Xichu's face was pale, and he stared at Sheng Zhiyao with a fierce light.
Sheng Zhiyao is not afraid, she is the Yongchen County Lord of Shang Zhou, she has nothing to fear, the Western Chu royal family is indeed rich, but she can't bully others! Standing behind her was the whole Shang Zhou! So at the sight of Emperor Shangxi Chu, she only smiled slightly, and she was not afraid.
Zihua was so angry that he trembled, and when he just wanted to refute Sheng Zhiyao, he was stopped by Zilang.
"Heh, you're jealous of Sister Zihua!" The corners of Zilang's mouth were hooked, revealing a mocking expression, and he looked at Sheng Zhiyao.
"You! Thinking too much." Sheng Zhiyao glared at Zilang, then turned his head to ignore Zilang, "Is it better than that? Be quicker than you, and don't waste my time sleeping." Sheng Zhiyao yawned lazily, her tone threatening.
"Good! I'll come first." Zihua took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, although he didn't know why Sheng Zhiyao suddenly agreed to the competition, but it was definitely not for the color of this guqin.
"Then please, Celestia Celestia." Sheng Zhiyao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Wait, who said we're going to use this instrument, let's find another instrument!" Zihua looked at the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch immediately understood, ran off the stage, and came back with a pipa after a while.
"This is the princess's favorite lute! Since Lord Yongchen is versatile, Pipa should be no problem!" Zihua said as if showing off.
Sheng Zhiyao pouted: "I didn't know that I was so versatile, but you know me better than myself!"
"......" Zihua's face changed.
"So now are you or me?" Sheng Zhiyao changed the subject.
"I'll do it first! The county lord can also think about how to make a fool of himself and look better later." Zihua took the pipa and sat down.
"Okay, then the county lord is waiting for your performance!" Sheng Zhiyao sat down casually, cocked Erlang's legs, and put on a posture of hanging children, looking at her action, Emperor Xichu frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
Zihua adjusted her breathing and closed her eyes to calm herself.
After a long time, Zihua opened his eyes, then picked up the pipa and slowly plucked the strings, and a graceful and melodious "Mountains and Flowing Water" sounded, the sound was crisp and pleasant, but there was a little less atmosphere.
Everyone who heard this song secretly admired it.
After playing this song, Zihua stopped his movements and looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "Lord Yongchen, what do you think of this song?" There was a kind of condescending arrogance in her tone, as if she was sure that Sheng Zhiyao would definitely lose to her when she heard this song.
Sheng Zhiyao sneered and said disdainfully, "It's okay!"
"Okay?!" Zihua's eyes widened and he looked at Sheng Zhiyao in disbelief, "If the county lord doesn't know how to appreciate the pipa, this princess can teach you." Zihua roared angrily.
"It's just okay! Don't you Xichu allow your guests to tell the truth?" Sheng Zhiyao spread his hands and said innocently.
This sentence immediately detonated the scene.
"What do you mean? Are you insulting Xi Chu?"
"How dare you humiliate our princess? It just doesn't make sense!"
"How dare a county lord be so arrogant!"
Hearing everyone's gossip, Sheng Zhiyao waved his hand impatiently and stopped them from continuing: "Enough! Be quiet, all of you!"
"What? Lord Yongchen is angry?" Seeing Sheng Zhiyao's annoyed and angry appearance, Zihua became even more proud.
"Celestia Celestia, you think too much, I feel a headache standing here with a group of people who only know how to make sycophants and have no brains." Sheng Zhiyao said with undisguised disdain.
Zihua was extremely angry, pointing at Sheng Zhiyao and unable to say a word.
"Okay, bring the pipa, what the hell did you play just now, a song of mountains and flowing water, played like a tattered gong from a small ravine." Sheng Zhiyao stretched out his hand.
"Unwilling to give? I don't want to pull it down!" Sheng Zhiyao made a gesture to withdraw his arm, Zihua hurriedly stopped it, and then threw the pipa in his hand into Sheng Zhiyao's hand, "Take it!"
Sheng Zhiyao weighed the pipa and found that this pipa was quite light, so she raised her arm and turned the pipa upside down, this action made everyone's eyes fall out, this pipa is worth ten thousand gold, she turned it upside down like this, it is really a bun.
"Cut!" Sheng Zhiyao rolled her eyes at everyone, "Isn't it just a pipa, as for it?" I've never seen anything good."
"The county lord is less talkative, if you don't know how to play, admit defeat early! Save yourself from being embarrassed." Zihua said viciously.
Sheng Zhiyao didn't bother to tell her any more, picked up the pipa and swept it with her fingers, the piano sound of "Ambush on All Sides" sounded, the melody of this piece was more exciting, and accompanied by the ringing of the pipa, it made people feel like they were on the battlefield, and hearing the fierce drums made people's blood boil!
Everyone held their breath and listened to this beautiful music, and they were all immersed in it.
After the song, Sheng Zhiyao put down the pipa and stood up without making any sound, because there was no sound in the hall.
After a long time, the Emperor of Western Chu took the lead in applauding and praising him, and everyone woke up and echoed it, and everyone had a passionate look of fighting on their faces.
