"Put down the zither and leave." She leaned against the railing and said coldly with her back to the palace maid.
"Yes." The palace maid behind him placed a zither with a uniform color on the low table with both hands, then bowed and left.
The place she was in was called the Rain of Zither Hall. As the name suggested, it was a building dedicated to playing the zither. It occupied a very large area, as big as a library hall, and was also the tallest in the palace.
From here, one could see the entire palace. The highest floor was designed with no walls on all four sides. The railings were made of thick, high-quality red sandalwood, and all kinds of lifelike patterns were carved into them.
When the eaves were built, they were deliberately stretched out a little more than the other palaces. That way, even if it rained heavily, it would not reach the people upstairs.
There was a piano table carved out of Camphor wood in the building. The fragrance of wood wafted in the air. There were also ten sets of rosewood tables and chairs under the piano table, as if they were specially placed to enjoy the sound of the piano.
Yue Yinshuang withdrew her gaze from the distance, turned around, and walked to the side of the zither platform. She lifted the hem of her dress with both hands and sat cross-legged on the round cushion. Her white hands gently plucked a few strings, and a unique sound rang in her ears.
'Feng Lai' was a unique zither with a jasper as the zither seat and silver strings as the strings. However, the world only knew that Feng Lai existed in this world, but they did not know that Feng Lai was in her hands.
She had ordered someone to make this zither. At first, it was just out of interest. Everyone said that her idea was whimsical, and no one was willing to make this zither for her. Helpless, she began to read books on making zither. After countless experiments, she finally made this zither. Later, she tried it in the forest and found that the music played by it was clear and without noise, so she named it 'Fenglai'.
Because they heard such beautiful music every morning, someone soon inquired about this matter.
She came back to her senses from her memories, placed her hands on the strings, and began to play and sing a cappella.
There's a beauty, I can't forget her. I haven't seen you for a day, and I miss you like crazy.
The phoenix flies and soars, and the four seas seek the phoenix. But the beauty is not on the east wall.
Take the zither to speak for me, and express my heart. When will I see you again, oh, comfort me when I'm lost.
I wish to say that I am worthy of your kindness, and I will join hands with you. Can't fly, let me perish.
At the side of the imperial garden, a black-robed man stood in a pavilion with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, some beautiful music entered his ears.
"Who's playing so early?" His eyes were filled with a smile as he turned around and asked the attendant standing outside the pavilion.
"Master, I don't know." The attendant held the sword in his hand and replied with cupped fists.
"Why don't we go over and take a look?" After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion.
" This…" They had just returned to the palace. It wasn't good, right? Before the servant could finish speaking, his master had already left, so he could only follow quickly.
The two of them went around corridors until they reached a building, and he climbed up the spiral staircase without thinking.
He ran up the stairs without stopping for a moment. When he reached the highest floor, the woman in white stood up.
"Young lady, young lady, don't be in a hurry to leave. Play another song for me.”He panted heavily as he stood in front of her. His face was a little flushed from the intense exercise, and his eyes were flashing with excitement.
"Who are you?" She frowned as she looked at the man beside the handrail of the spiral staircase.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Why don't you play it for me again?”He walked to the rosewood seat and sat down elegantly, staring at her.
" No…" She felt her scalp go numb from his stare.
She carefully observed him and found that he looked a little similar to Murong Lingxiang. She seemed to have seen this person before, but she also seemed to have not seen him before. Her mind kept searching for a face that matched his, but she could not remember.
She felt that his personality was like that of a child, but she couldn't be wrong about the aura of a king. There was clearly a flash of wisdom in his eyes.
"Play quickly." He said to her with a slight smile.
"..." She couldn't bear to reject him. With a pair of hopeful eyes, she let out a long sigh and sat down on the round cushion. Her white hands played the song 'Mountain and Flowing Water', but this time she didn't sing it.
"Why aren't you singing?" He pulled his thoughts back from the beautiful melody.
"I'm tired." She casually gave a reason that no one would believe.
"Oh, then sing for me next time?" He desperately wanted her answer.
"..." Not good. She really wanted to shout at him like this. Fortunately, she suppressed that urge before she exploded.
She did not answer him directly. She stood up straight and was about to leave. When she brushed past him, he grabbed her wrist.
He glared coldly at the man in front of him, but he had no intention of letting go.
They stared at each other until an angry voice sounded in their ears.
"What are you guys doing?" Murong Lingxiang gritted his teeth and said loudly.
The two of them turned to look at the spiral staircase at the same time. The man in black immediately let go of her hand.
"Prince Guang Xian, good luck." The palace maid behind her bowed to the man beside her.
"Royal brother." The man lowered his head and called out softly.
"Shuang 'er greets the Emperor." She curtsied and looked straight at him.
So this black-robed man was Prince Guang Xian. No wonder she found him familiar. But wasn't he patrolling the river?
Murong Ling Xiang saw them being so intimate and could not help but feel very angry in his heart, wishing he could go up and break them apart. However, he did not understand why he was so possessive of her. His eyes turned red when he saw her walking with another man.
