When the five-day deadline was up, Shangguan Ruoyu and the others went to the restaurant, which was closed for a day. The people of the capital were amazed. When they heard from the manservant of the Full Fragrance Brothel that a noble had come, Miss Li Xi closed her business for a day. As such, people began to guess who that noble was. Thinking back to the past, when the Seventh Prince came to Yingxiang Brothel, he would not let Miss Li Xi close down her business. Could it be that this person was more noble than the Seventh Prince?
A bronze seven-stringed zither was placed in front of her. Bai Zhi's jade-like hands slowly covered it and picked up a string. Li Xi's eyes lit up when he heard the sound of the strings. He had never played the seven-stringed zither since he gave it to him. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare. He didn't dare to let ordinary people see its beauty. But now, when he saw Shangguan Ruoyu, the first thing he thought of was the seven-stringed zither. Only she was worthy!
"Miss, Miss Lin is here." Wenxin bowed and said.
"Hurry up and invite him over." After saying that, he stood up and went out to welcome her.
Shangguan Ruoyu, dressed in white, walked over leisurely, followed by Zhang Xingyan, who was in a dark blue color. What a pair! Behind them were the playful Murong Ling, the calm Yue Qingyuan, and Shang Yu.
"Miss Li Xi, sorry for disturbing you."
"Miss Lin is too serious. It was Li Xi who wanted to listen to your song, so he took the liberty to invite you here.”
The two of them were all smiles, and there was a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
"Then this king listening isn't considered disturbing.”Suddenly, Li Yuxuan, dressed in dark purple, and two guards appeared at the door.
"It is your highness 'honor to be here, how could Li Xi dare to blame you?”
Shangguan Ruoyu couldn't help but frown. What was this Seventh Prince doing here?
"Miss Lin, please go ahead. I have already prepared a high-quality zither.”
"Thank you, Miss Li Xi." Shangguan Ruoyu nodded and walked in.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the seven-stringed zither. Even Murong Ling, who didn't know anything about the zither, felt the uniqueness of the seven-stringed zither.
"This…this is the 'Revolving Moon'." Shangguan Ruoyu finally came back to her senses and called out.
"Miss Lin is indeed an expert." Li Xi also smiled. How many people in the world could recognize it as Revolving Moon? Today, she finally found a soulmate.
"I've only seen paper patterns at Master's wife's place when I was young, but I've never seen the real thing.”Shangguan Ruoyu's entire face was filled with joy, and the light she emitted made the others sigh.
"If that's the case, Miss Lin, let's test the sound.”
"Alright." Shangguan Ruoyu couldn't wait to sit down, her hands trembling as she covered the zither.
A melodious tone gradually rose, and the song "Plum Blossom Guide" entered their ears. As Shangguan Ruoyu's fingers intertwined, everyone seemed to be intoxicated by the elegance and arrogance of the plum blossoms. The sound of drums, plum blossoms, and strings of murmurs.
"The first plum blossom breaks a person's intestines, the second plum blossom takes a lot of thought, and the third plum blossom creates a storm.”Li Xi's eyes were filled with tears as he muttered a famous sentence.
When the last note rose and fell, Ruoyu raised his head and realized that everyone was stunned. Not to mention those who had never heard Shangguan Ruoyu play the zither, Yue Qingyuan, who had heard her play the zither, was the same. Although he knew that Yu 'er's zither playing skills were not bad, and even his master's wife had said that her zither skills were not as good as Yu' er's, but after listening to this " Plum Blossom Guide " today, he had truly seen it for himself.
"Alright." In the end, Li Yuxuan was the first to regain his senses. He clapped his hands and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Everyone finally came back to their senses. Their faces showed that they hadn't heard enough. Zhang Xingyan stared at Shangguan Ruoyu. The fanatical look in his eyes made Shangguan Ruoyu blush slightly.
"Miss Li Xi, please." Shangguan Ruoyu stood up and smiled.
"Sister Yu, you played so well.”Murong Ling pulled Shangguan Ruoyu over and shouted excitedly.
"Of course not. I believe Miss Li Xi will give us a bigger surprise.”Shangguan Ruoyu looked at Li Xi expectantly. She knew that Li Xi must be very excited at this moment and hoped to hear her talk about it.
"Miss Lin gave me the 'Plum Blossom Guide' and I'll return Miss Lin's kindness with a song of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'.”The corners of Li Xi's mouth gradually curled up. She had given him a song called " Plum Blossom Guide " to imply that he was cold and arrogant in this brothel. It was appropriate for her to give her a song called " Mountain and Water "!
"Overtone, roll, brush, chuo, note, up, down.”Li Xi's familiar finger movements shuttled through the 'Circling the Moon'. The clear overtones and lively rhythm were like' gurgling clang, the cold current of the underworld; Clear and cold, like a pine root." He listened quietly, and a feeling of joy arose spontaneously.
"So Miss Li Xi only talked about it in general in the past.”Li Yuxuan's eyes revealed a look of exploration.
"Your Highness, you flatter me. Li Xi said that playing the zither is for those who understand it. Today, I am fortunate enough to meet Miss Lin. If I don't try my best to talk to her, I will be letting down Miss Lin's good intentions.”Li Xi naturally did not lower her status to face Li Yuxuan.
"Hah!" Li Yuxuan didn't say much and just chuckled.
"It's true. Why would a person who doesn't know how to play the zither learn to be elegant? Right, Sister Li Xi?" Murong Ling felt as if she had been stabbed when she saw Li Yuxuan. Seeing that Li Xi did not fawn over him like ordinary people, she had a good impression of Li Xi and directly called him sister.
"Don't be impudent." When Li Yuxuan's two guards saw that someone was disrespectful to their master, they wanted to attack.
"Shen Feng, Shen Yue." Li Yuxuan waved his folding fan and glanced at Murong Ling. The corners of his mouth curled up, but he did not take the next step.
"How about this, why don't you all go to First-grade House? I'll give you some wine and we can have a chat.”Shang Yu came out to smooth things over.
"That's good. Miss Lin, I want to…give this 'Revolving Moon' to you.”Li Xi paused for a moment before saying this. Originally, he was the one who gave her the item, and she wanted to keep it for herself. However, when she thought about how things were the same but people had changed, and that there was no ending to her thoughts, she might as well give it to someone else!
"Miss Li Xi, I only know that this zither is meaningful to you. I can't accept it. Perhaps it's already a foregone conclusion, but there's still a thought.”Shangguan Ruoyu said slowly. Her music revealed a sense of sadness, even when she played " High Mountain and Flowing Water ". There was also a very, very faint killing intent in the depths, which made Shangguan Ruoyu feel very strange. Li Xi must not be as simple as the owner of a brothel. However, she wanted to be friends with him and did not care about his background.
"Miss Lin is right. Li Xi is imagining things.”Li Xi smiled. Right? At least there was still a trace of hope.
"Alright, let's head to First-grade House.”
"This king has something on, so I won't be going." Li Yuxuan stood up and walked out.
"Seriously, no one invited you." Murong Ling pursed her lips.
"Ling Er, Seventh Prince, please don't take offense.”Shangguan Ruoyu shook his head. Ling 'er had offended the Seventh Prince so recklessly. She was afraid that she would suffer in the future.
Who knew that Li Yuxuan would still smile and leave after taking a glance at Murong Ling. His gaze was filled with interest, persistence, and determination. Although Ling 'er didn't know about this glance, the people around her knew what kind of glance it was.
