The smile on Tia's face disappeared instantly. She looked at the man not far away and her heart slowly sank.
Doesn’t the prince like her dance
She had practiced for so long and painstakingly, and although her body was flexible, her waist was almost broken from practicing this difficult classical dance!
But he still had this cold and indifferent expression, as if nothing in this world caught his attention.
Tia's heart suddenly felt as if it was dipped in thin ice, so cold and so desolate.
The prince raised his eyes slightly, seeming to notice Tia's gaze. He finally raised his hand slowly and clapped three times along with the crowd.
He applauded himself!
Seeing this scene, Tia's frustrated eyes lit up instantly. She looked at the prince with fiery eyes and a smile in her eyes, and she returned to being the peerless and beautiful princess in the center of the stage.
The applause from all around continued for a long time, and Tia also heard many people cheering and whistling.
But that doesn’t matter, as long as that person also affirms himself!
Tia was in a good mood. She curled the corners of her lips slightly, waved to the people who were applauding in the audience, then bowed slightly and made a graceful dancer's posture.
This is the end.
The spotlight on the stage gradually dimmed, moving away from Tia, and the stage fell into a hazy gray.
The young prince turned his head. For the sake of his sister's plan, Fiennes had been standing beside him, so he naturally noticed his every move.
He saw everything just now. The prince was looking at the stage the whole time.
Were you amazed by Tia’s dance just now
Fiennes smiled with his thin lips, and felt more confident about his sister's marriage.
Fiennes tried to guess the prince's intention, his deep blue eyes sparkling with light.
"Your Highness, you were so engrossed in watching the dance earlier. Could you please give us some comments on the dance?"
However, to Fiennes' surprise, the other party responded with this sentence without any reason.
“The music is good.”
What
Fiennes opened his eyes wide in astonishment. It took him two seconds to digest what the prince meant.
Could it be that the prince was busy listening to the music earlier
Or is it that the prince is avoiding the main topic and deliberately avoiding his own topic
As if seeing Fiennes' confusion, the man in front of Fiennes pursed his lips and added another sentence.
"The previous piano music didn't seem to be electronic music. Did Miss Tia find a piano player specifically?"
The man's voice was indifferent, showing no emotion at all.
It is rare that there are still people who can use an antique instrument like the guqin...
However, the person playing the piano still lacks some skills. Although the emotion is there, his fingering is obviously not very skillful, and some of the transitions are a little sluggish.
At that time, he was standing in the audience, listening attentively, and was able to distinguish these subtle flaws.
Obviously the piano sound wasn't perfect, but for some reason, his mood couldn't help but improve.
Could it be that when he looked around at the people in the room, everyone except him was mesmerized by the dance, and he was the only one who could hear that the pianist's skills were slightly lacking
Such a subtle feeling of pleasure surprised the prince, but he did not investigate further.
When Fiennes heard what the prince said, his forehead twitched involuntarily.
—It turned out that the prince didn’t pay any attention to his sister’s stunning dance, and his whole attention was focused on the accompanying piano music
Fiennes sighed in his heart for his sister, and then nodded to the man in front of him.
"Your Highness guessed correctly. We did find a pianist. Tia was originally planning to use electronic synthesizers, but I was lucky a few days ago and happened to meet someone who could play the piano."
For some reason, Fiennes deliberately avoided asking whether the pianist was a man or a woman when he was telling the story.
Although he knew that the prince in front of him was a pure man and unlikely to have any thoughts about women, Fiennes still didn't want to talk to him more about Su Wan.
After all, he was very interested in that woman.
Fiennes didn't want to take any risks with Su Wan.
Although His Highness might not be interested in Su Wan, there were too many dignitaries and nobles frequenting the Divine Court on a daily basis, and there was no guarantee that some young man might take a fancy to her.
Fiennes only had a superficial understanding of Su Wan, but he knew that Su Wan had no power or influence behind her. If she was really favored by some nobles, those people would not consider the thoughts of a commoner woman.
The Divine Court has not been governing strictly in recent years, and as a result, the morals among the nobles have become increasingly lax.
There may not be many people with supernatural powers who possess dragon blood, but there is no telling how many unlearned and unskilled playboys there are!
As soon as the war stopped, the Divine Court abolished the existence of underground auction houses in the early years, but aren’t those underground auction houses still operating in full swing
And the forces secretly supporting that pickling place include people from the four major families!
Even the Siswell family got involved, and the Divine Court turned a blind eye!
What a joke. As long as you can make money, who cares about the lives of the lower class people
The taxes paid to the Divine Court over the years have been more than...
Fiennes has always been disgusted with this situation and wants to clean up the situation.
However, he does not have real power in the family now, and he is still under pressure from the elders. In order to win the support of all parties, it is not easy for him to oppose openly to avoid a fall out.
…
Fiennes's calm words swept into his ears, and the young prince nodded with a distant look.
"You are lucky, Fiennes. If it is convenient, how about lending the violinist to me for a few days?"
"Your Highness likes to listen to the piano?"
Fiennes was stunned when he heard this. He smiled bitterly in his heart. It was really true that what he didn't want was what came true.
"I can't say I like it, I just think there are very few people who can play the guqin nowadays, and I want to meet one."
The prince's narrow and long phoenix eyes swept across him, and his indifferent look suddenly became sharp.
"Why, you don't want to?"
The words were as calm as a lake, but they carried an invisible pressure that made Fiennes' throat dry.
Fiennes tried hard to control his emotions, forced a smile at the corner of his lips, and began to lie with some selfish motives.
"Your Highness wants to listen to the music, of course I am willing, but Tia has made an appointment with the music player to continue practicing dancing these days, why don't you come and watch it together?"
Fiennes lied without blinking an eye and used his sister as a shield.
The prince of the Divine Court would avoid Tia wherever she was, and there was no way he would make an exception for a mere zither player.
As expected, the Emperor's son frowned slightly and spoke in a cold voice.
"Since Miss Tia wants to hire someone, I won't take away her talent. I'll invite the musician over when I have the chance."
Just as Fiennes was chatting with the prince, a sweet female voice suddenly rang out, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
"Your Highness, Brother, what are you talking about?"
Fiennes looked up and saw that his sister had changed out of her complicated water-sleeved dance costume and put on the rouge-red swallowtail dress she had been wearing before.
Fiennes narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the three glasses of wine in Tia's hands.
Finally, is the fun about to begin
