Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 137
The sound of the piano overflowed from the fingers, and the girl looked calm, pouring all her surging emotions into the music.

Someone below was shocked and confused: "This! Is she playing "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun"!"

When the prelude of the melody spread out like a landscape scroll, more people soon heard the way here, and looked at each other pale.

"Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" was composed by the author when he was lamenting the changing times and longing for his homeland. The fingering is particularly difficult. If you don't have enough skills to control it, you will play it into different shapes if you are not careful.Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, it is important to stand out, but no one would take such a big risk to choose this song.

But Huo Qi just played it.Her fingering is familiar and her sound is melodious and majestic.Along with the sound of the piano, there seemed to be the endless running of the Xiaoxiang River. Everyone present was captivated by the sound of the piano.

Liu Yiyi stared at the girl on the stage, in addition to disbelief, there was overwhelming jealousy, unwillingness and resentment.

Nie Ying played brilliantly, even far better than her, so she didn't care.Because she knew that Nie Ying's intentions were not in Changle Palace, and Nie Ying was not good at imperial archery, which was her strong point, and the two of them couldn't close the big gap in the end.Most importantly, the better Nie Ying's performance, the more she can make Huo Qi look like a clown.

But now the situation is not developing according to her imagination at all.

She didn't even need to taste the piano sound very carefully, just by the eyes of everyone, she could know that Huo Qi's piano skills were far superior to Nie Ying's.Thinking about the concubine Shu summoning Huo Qi yesterday, she must have planned to let Huo Qi enter the gate of Changle Palace.One by one, her months of meticulous preparation turned into a complete joke!

Nie Ying was also unable to sit still. The gloating eyes on Huo Qi just now were all transferred to her, as if they were laughing at her for underestimating the enemy.

She worked hard to practice the piano, but it never came from her heart.At first, Mrs. Liu asked her to force her to learn. Later, it was to enjoy the envious eyes of others on her. Now, it is to use her reputation as a piano player to gain a better marriage. .

So when she believed that she had no rivals among the noble ladies of the capital, she stood still and stopped thinking about challenging a difficult piece like "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun".But now, the level of haters is far above her, this is a silent slap to her who has always been proud and arrogant, although Huo Qi doesn't seem to show off at all.

What about him? Will he also notice this?
Subconsciously, Nie Ying turned sideways and looked at the viewing seats, and saw Shen Yuning lazily leaning on the back of the chair, with his long legs crossed, looking at the competition platform, not knowing what he was thinking.

She closed her eyes resentfully, but there was a voice in her heart that kept amplifying: something must happen, something must happen!
As if she was sensing something, she made her wish one second ago, and the next second she heard the sound of silk being ripped.

Nie Ying suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the competition stage, but saw a string of a piano cutting through the air like a silver blade under the bright sunlight.

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, leaving only an eerie silence in the whole place, anxious and harsh.

Liu Yiyi and Nie Ying were overjoyed after being stunned for a short time, and they waited wholeheartedly for Huo Qi to be kicked out of the stage.Luo Rou looked worried and clenched her fists anxiously, wishing she could rush up to protect Huo Qi immediately.The expressions of the others seemed to be frozen, and the sound of breathing also stagnated along with the sound of the piano.

The people in the auditorium had already started to cry in their hearts, seeing that the golden 5000 taels of gold was already waving to them.Shen Yuning maintained his original sitting posture without even frowning. There was a layer of fine ice floating on his beautiful peach blossom eyes, which seemed to contain some kind of expectation.

The three people in the examiner's table had mixed expressions.Qi Yue frowned: "How can a good string be broken? It's better to ask someone to change the string again and continue the competition." Feng Ming shook his head and muttered: "It's a pity that this piece can be played again, and the mood of the piano player is also messed up. gone."

Lexuan was lost for a moment, and then remembered the message sent to her by Concubine Shu last night.She silently muttered guiltily: Miss Huo, I'm sorry. If you want to blame, it's you who offended someone you shouldn't have offended.

The girl on the stage, who was being scorched by the scorching gaze, had her right index finger cut by a string and bleeding.But she didn't show any panic or pain, instead a sneer curled up at the corner of her lips.

It turned out that this was Concubine Shu's trick.

Unfortunately, she seldom played the piano in front of outsiders, Concubine Shu didn't know her proficiency.

Before everyone could withdraw their thousands of thoughts, the girl's slender jade fingers landed on the broken jade piano again.

The people below were shocked. She still wanted to continue playing?

Crazy!

There are only a few people who can play "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", but everyone knows that the most common sound in this piece is "Zheng". The Zhu string has been broken. No matter how superb Huo Qi's piano skills are, he will never be able to restore the decline of the piece. After all, Make bricks without straw.

At this moment, those girls who were selected were totally disregarding their envy and envy, but were faintly worried and looking forward to Huo Qi's next performance.

Suddenly, the sound of the lyre flowed out again, shocking everyone in the audience!
Because Huo Qi did not continue to play "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", but boldly chose another piece-"Mei Yin".

The fingering difficulty of "Mei Yin" is even higher than that of "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun". If there are still people who occasionally play "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" in recent years, "Meiyin" is different.Since the death of Concubine Jing, this song has never appeared in the court again, and this song happens to only use six strings.

Huo Qi's move can be described as a slanted sword and a dangerous move.

The green skirt rustled in the spring breeze, while Huo Qi pressed the strings with his left hand and plucked the strings with his right hand. His appearance was calm and not at all flattering. He was as bright as the snow in the mountain stream or the moon in the sky.

"This woman is really a wonderful person!" Qi Yue laughed.

Feng Ming smacked his tongue lightly and pointed out something: "There are talented people in this generation. Yue Siyue has not played this piece for many years. I wonder if the level can still be as good as before?"

"You are joking." Lexuan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the emotion in his eyes.

In fact, she has not played "Mei Yin" for many years because she always feels that her level is not perfect. If she plays rashly, her title as the number one luthier in Daqi may be questioned.After all, it is often only overnight that a person in a high position is pulled down from the altar.But now Huo Qi, a little girl of no more than [-], can play this song superbly.While feeling ashamed, thinking of Concubine Shu's order to prevent Huo Qi from being shortlisted, I feel a headache.

Before she could figure out the other side, Huo Qi on the stage had already finished playing the song.When the last note fell, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause. How many years had it been since they had heard such a heart-warming sound?

Those clan disciples in the auditorium completely forgot the bet and admired Huo Qi from the bottom of their hearts. They even forgot about Nie Ying's performance just now.

Yuan Shao stared calmly, such a skill could not be achieved without decades of hard work. Thinking about the past when Huo Qi said that he was not good at this, he felt ridiculous that he had been deceived.It turns out that Huo Qi didn't know how to play in the past, but just didn't want to play, how ridiculous.

The fourth prince smiled meaningfully and even clapped indifferently.The fifth prince couldn't hide his astonishment. He secretly sighed at how well Ning Guo Gong raised his daughter, but at the same time he couldn't help but think that Ning Guo Gong must be very ambitious after sending this girl to the palace.

As the only person at the table who won the bet, Shen Yuning's expression was flat, as if he had already guessed the ending, but everyone had long been used to his cold temper.

If eyes can hurt people, Huo Qi reckoned that Liu Yiyi had pierced a bloody hole at this moment.She originally thought that if Huo Qi failed completely in the piano art, she would forget the villain's faults and not deliberately embarrass Huo Qi in the imperial horse competition.But now, since Huo Qi wants to stand in her way with this undeserved limelight, don't blame her for being cruel.

Nie Ying kept her smile strong, not wanting anyone to see through her embarrassment. This was what Mrs. Liu taught her, but after all, she was not as mature and smooth as Mrs. Liu, and her smile was still a bit unnatural.When she caught a glimpse of Liu Yiyi's face, the stiff corners of her lips relaxed a little.

And in this short time of half a cup of tea, the attitude of the other girls towards Huo Qi has undergone earth-shaking changes.It's not like the previous gloating, and it's not the kind of jealousy towards Nie Ying, but a sincere admiration.

The various faces and movements pieced together a bizarre picture, but it seemed that none of it caught Huo Qi's eyes.She walked slowly when she came off the stage, and her expression was exactly the same as when she came on stage, but her temperament was even more unfazed than before.

She walked step by step, but met Shen Yuning's eyes at the corner.There was a long distance between them, and there were so many people on the field watching her, but she seemed to be able to accurately capture him from all eyes.

It’s weird.
