Chapter 453 Demonic Sound
After everyone returned to the front hall, the previous liveliness was gone. Mainly because the emperor was unhappy, no one dared to say a word.
But today is New Year's Eve, the day to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. It would be unlucky if the atmosphere remained so gloomy.
After adjusting his mindset, the emperor suppressed his unhappiness and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, everyone relaxed and the ladies from various families began to perform their talents.
Calligraphy, painting, dance, musical instruments, and other performances were endless. The atmosphere reached a climax at one point, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Even the emperor and the queen had smiles on their faces, as if nothing that had happened before had happened.
Shen Yiyi was also very happy to watch. After all, these ladies from aristocratic families had learned their talents since they could walk.
Not to mention that they are all talented, but it makes her a little unhappy.
Whenever those rich young ladies were performing, their eyes would often drift towards the prince.
With that sticky look, even a blind person could tell what she was thinking, especially He Wan.
She performed a dance today. She was wearing a bright red dance costume and dancing gracefully in the middle of the hall.
From time to time, she would look back and smile at Shang Zhanchen. That hooked look made Shen Yiyi very angry.
However, Shang Zhanchen was quite happy to see her pouting out of jealousy, as if it tasted better than any other dish on the table.
But in Shen Yiyi's eyes, she thought that He Wan was just seeing how happy he was, and she became even angrier.
When no one was paying attention, he would occasionally reach out to his legs and twist them hard.
The more pain Shang Zhanchen felt, the happier he laughed. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed that restless little hand and squeezed it tightly.
He Wan saw all of this. Seeing Shen Yiyi and Shang Zhanchen playing around there, she was extremely angry.
"..."
Everyone was attracted by her dance and kept praising her, but the prince was the only one who didn't look in that direction.
It must be that damn woman who disturbed the prince's thoughts, so the prince didn't look at her. When the song ended, warm applause broke out in the audience.
He Wan bowed respectfully towards everyone present, her eyes looking at Shen Yiyi.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked over leisurely.
"I heard that the Crown Princess is extremely talented. Today is the day to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. I wonder if this servant has the honor of watching the Crown Princess's talent?"
She looked at Shen Yiyi with a smile on her face, but she was extremely sarcastic in her heart. This woman was a notorious waste.
I have never heard that she has hired any teacher to teach her any talent. On such a solemn occasion, she must embarrass herself a little.
Let the prince see that apart from her face, she is just a waste with all show and no substance.
Shen Yiyi was angry at the moment, but when she heard what He Wan said, she agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! Since Miss Shen said so, I will give you this face." Shen Yiyi raised her chin high.
She was trying to embarrass herself, as if she really thought that the crappy dance she performed was the best.
Since she is so uncomfortable, let her show her talents, otherwise it will seem as if she is the only one who is the most capable.
"..." Everyone looked at each other.
The noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down again. I heard that the Crown Princess knew medicine when I came back from the battlefield.
Otherwise, before this, they had never heard of the Crown Princess having any talents. On the contrary, they had heard that the Crown Princess was quite useless.
After all, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Shen, so everyone pays more attention to her. Not only do people hear that she has a bad temper.
He is useless and has no talent at all. The only thing that is good about him is his face.
When she came back from the battlefield this time, they were shocked to hear that she knew medicine.
Some people even suspected that this was an excuse the Crown Prince made up for the Crown Princess for the sake of her reputation.
Hearing the Crown Princess agree so readily, everyone was skeptical, but also curious.
They wanted to see what talents the Crown Princess had, and to confirm whether what they had heard was true.
Shen Yiyi had no idea what they were thinking and glanced at Jiang Zuo beside her.
"Bring my piano here. Since everyone is so happy, I'll play a song for you too."
"Yes." Jiang Zuo nodded.
He glanced at his master again, and felt a little worried when he remembered that the Crown Princess had put so much medicine on the zither.
Could it be that the Crown Princess has knocked everyone in the audience unconscious? In that case, today’s state banquet will be ruined.
Although Shang Zhanchen didn't say anything, he was still worried in his heart. He was afraid that Yiyi would cause some trouble. After all, she had put a lot of medicine on her piano.
But at this point, there’s nothing to say and I can only watch quietly from the side.
Shen Yiyi came to the center of the hall. Jiang Zuo ordered someone to place the zither in front of her, and Shen Yiyi sat down.
Looking at the guqin in front of the Crown Princess, everyone stretched their necks to stare at it curiously.
I have never heard of the Crown Princess having any talents, but now she wants to play the guqin. You have to know that it is not something that can be learned overnight.
Even the emperor and the empress were staring straight at him; they were thinking the same thing as everyone else.
But I have never heard that the Crown Princess can play the piano. Everyone's eyes are looking over here.
Shen Ze was even more surprised. He had never heard that Yiyi had learned to play the piano. He was really worried for her. Shen Yiyi sat on the chair.
Looking at the guqin in front of him, he began to mobilize his internal energy, gradually letting it flow to his fingers.
As slender fingers began to pluck the strings, a gentle and melodious melody echoed in the hall.
The sound seemed to have some kind of magic that could penetrate the eardrum and go directly into the brain, constantly echoing in the brain.
Before, everyone was stretching their necks to look over here, with curiosity on their faces.
After hearing the music, everyone's body froze, and soon they showed an expression of enjoyment.
Some people closed their eyes and moved their heads to coordinate, while others even beat the rhythm with their hands.
What's more, some people just stood up, closed their eyes and danced to the music, looking very happy.
Everyone's face had an intoxicated look, as if they had tasted the most delicious food in the world and obtained the most precious treasure in the world.
Even Shang Zhanchen and Jiang Zuo were no exception. The music echoed in their minds, as if they were enjoying the best things in the world.
The emperor and the empress were even more obsessed with it, especially the emperor, who kept tapping the table with his fingers.
When the song ended, everyone seemed to be awakened from a beautiful dream, with a look of wanting more. Shen Yiyi stood up.
He smiled brightly at everyone present.
"I haven't played it for many years, so I'm a little rusty. I'm sorry to make you all laugh."
This was a lie to them, her father had asked her to practice magic sound since she was young, this was just a trick.
"Well, the Crown Princess is an excellent chess player." There was silence for a moment, and soon thunderous applause broke out.
Everyone present was of distinguished status and had heard all kinds of music, but this was the first time they had heard the Crown Princess play it so well.
It was like entering another world. The pleasure and satisfaction were so enjoyable.
Even Shen Ze looked very proud.
"..."
I didn't expect Yiyi to play the piano so well. It seems that I have neglected her too much. Shang Zhanchen looked solemn.
"..."
When did Yiyi's inner strength become so profound!
