Various lights were lit around, intertwined and shining together, lighting up half of the sky and at the same time illuminating half of Chen Yan's gloomy face.
The princess of Yuexiu Kingdom did not know about this incident arranged by the envoy. To put it bluntly, the princess had no real power. She had been accompanying the Queen Mother in the palace these days and did not leak out the scene that happened at the flower viewing banquet. Being robbed of the limelight by others is not a glorious thing in itself. When I heard the messenger talking about competing for strength, I suddenly felt bad.
She glanced privately at the messenger, who was indifferent. Compared with the princess's anxiety, he was obviously much calmer. Winning or losing the first round of strength competition is not the key, the most important thing is to force out part of Chen Yan's strength.
As the center of attention, Chen Yan looked at Fang Shan immediately, filled with murderous aura, and mouthed: "What did you do?"
Fang Shan lowered his head shyly, as if he was completely unaware.
Chen Yan scanned around and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are no stones around."
Emperor Chengyuan said to the eunuch beside him: "Find someone to move a piece of it."
Chen Yan did not refute, but stood there, his clothes rustling in the wind. In the eyes of most people, he is calm and self-possessed, as if he is nothing more than a stone.
The guards moved quickly, and soon several people were carrying a huge stone. When it landed, the ground seemed to sink slightly.
"My dear," Emperor Chengyuan said with expectation, "it's your turn to show off your skills."
Chen Yan didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he had executed Fang Shan countless times.
"How can such a small stone prove my brother's strength?" A delicate voice interjected, but this tone was particularly harsh in the ears of the princess of Yuexiu Kingdom next to her. When he turned his head, he saw the fair and delicate cheeks. Even if he couldn't stand it, he had to admit that this little bitch had a beautiful face.
The most attractive thing is the small actions made unconsciously.
Fang Shan stood up, and the breeze blew the faint smell of powder on his body, lingering around him. It smelled good but not pungent. After bowing, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the stone is too small. Brother can't even see it, let alone break it."
Emperor Chengyuan's smile deepened: "Oh?"
After throwing out a monosyllabic character, don't speak again.
The envoy looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and disrupted the layout, with an unkind expression and a cold tone: "Isn't it a bit unceremonious for a girl to stand up openly on such an occasion?"
Fang Shan's expression remained unchanged: "Please call me Miss Chen."
He emphasized his last name, as if you dare to criticize me again, I will ask my brother to beat you.
The envoy's face turned dark, and Chen Yan's expression looked much gentler. The Yuexiu Kingdom has always been unscrupulous, and many soldiers have been lost in their hands in the past. For Chen Yan, the happiness of the Yuexiu Kingdom is his displeasure, and the frustration of the Yuexiu Kingdom is the festival he wants to celebrate.
Fang Shan walked up to the boulder, found a spot, raised his palm and slashed hard, splitting the boulder into two. Emperor Chengyuan who was sitting on the seat had seen the same trick more than once, but it did not reduce the thrill of it at all.
Chen Yanli was the closest, and his eyelids jumped when he saw this with his own eyes: "Did you give it an injection?"
Fang Shan said expressionlessly: "You are so funny."
The voice of communication was very low. In fact, even if it were louder, no one could hear it. Everyone's attention was focused on the cracked stone.
What is this... can miracles happen with great force
Fang Shan took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, coughing continuously, as if he was choked by the splashed dust. His body was already thin, and he coughed violently. He leaned slightly closer to Chen Yan: "Brother, it's too choked. I feel a little uncomfortable."
Chen Yan supported his 'frail' sister and sent her back to his seat. He looked at the princess of Yuexiu Kingdom and said, "I'm scared. I might have to ask the princess to take care of her a little more later."
Princess Yuexiu's smile was stiff: "General Chen may have some misunderstanding about his sister."
Chen Yan ignored her suspicion and said to himself: "She has been in poor health since she was a child and was raised outside. The princess is Liu Liu's first friend. She may be a little relaxed when facing you."
After speaking, he walked back to his original position. The rubble had been sorted and carried down by the palace staff. Chen Yan looked at the envoy of Yuexiu Kingdom and said, "If I make a stone that even a little girl can break, it will be suspected of humiliating people."
The young man who had pulled out the big tree wanted to compete again, but was stopped by the messenger: "In the first round, we admit defeat."
Emperor Chengyuan waved his hand and continued his good-natured manner: "It's just an exchange at most, not about winning or losing." The conversation changed and his eyes became sharp: "What's the second game?"
The messenger was startled, not expecting that he would suddenly attack.
There was no smile on Emperor Chengyuan's lips, and there was no trace of happiness or anger on his face: "Since it's a competition, it would be interesting to have at least three rounds."
While the envoy was still thinking about how to answer the question, Wei Sushen suddenly said: "To be fair, should we ask the question the second time?"
Emperor Chengyuan's eyes were much softer the moment Wei Sushen spoke. The woman's powers of observation are quite keen, and the subtle changes were not hidden from the eyes of Concubine Li not far away. She touched her belly, then looked at Wei Sushen, who was not sitting in a very regular posture, and lowered her eyes to wonder what she was thinking about.
In the third round, the right to pose questions in the next two rounds was in the hands of Yuexiu State. Taking advantage of the situation, the envoy of Yuexiu State had no reason to refuse in order to save face: "It's reasonable."
Emperor Chengyuan paid attention to Wei Sushen's movements with his peripheral vision, and said in a gentle tone: "Since you fought for it, you will be the one to set the question in this game."
After careful consideration, Wei Sushen said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and get my Ming Yue."
The voice was not loud, but as a superior person who was always being watched, Wei Sushen's words clearly reached everyone's ears. The first person who couldn't hold a smile on his face was Emperor Chengyuan, and the second one was Fang Shan.
The others had only vaguely heard that the prince was good at music, but had never really seen it. However, the noble ladies who had participated in the flower-viewing banquet that day all looked a little ugly.
The envoy immediately responded and ordered the music test.
Emperor Chengyuan's eyes were gloomy and uncertain: "Don't think about it again?"
The envoy smiled and said, "I happen to be involved in something."
Emperor Chengyuan didn't say any more, and looked away to the other side, his eyes full of sneer... I gave you a chance to live, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it.
He winked at the palace man next to him, who immediately found the cotton ball and gave it to Emperor Chengyuan in private.
The envoy was a little surprised when Wei Sushen left the stage in person: "His Royal Highness is coming in person?"
"Why not?"
The messenger chewed these two words over and over again, always feeling that he could hear the confidence of winning in them, which made him feel a sense of relief.
The palace attendant had already fetched the guqin and carefully placed it on the table.
Wei Su Shen: "Envoy please."
"Prince, please go first." The messenger said humbly.
Preconceptions do not apply in the rhythm competition. The latter shows more initiative. He can guess from the expressions of the audience whether these people are more inclined to tender and soothing tunes or exciting and surging tunes.
Wei Sushen didn't give in anymore and looked at Fang Shan who was about to cover his ears. The corners of his mouth curved and he said: "Can you please Miss Chen to cooperate?"
Rarely, this time it was Fang Shan's turn to have a bad premonition: "How to cooperate?"
"If Miss Chen's heavenly voice could be included, it would definitely make this piece more perfect."
Unknowingly, I thought it was due to the nature of a young man. This came from the prince's overture to General Chen's sister. Many different eyes wandered between the two, but in terms of appearance alone, she could be called a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Fang Shan walked up to him, gritted his teeth and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "In ancient times, there were people who would sacrifice their lives to accompany a gentleman. Today I will sacrifice my life to accompany a beauty."
Wei Sushen raised his eyebrows, not caring at all that the other party positioned himself as a beauty in this sentence.
Ming Yue has been repaired, two strings have been replaced, and some of the original simple texture has been lost.
Showing a rare smile from the heart, Wei Sushen gently plucked the strings and saw Fang Shan tightening his lips with satisfaction.
The expressions of those present were not much better either. They could only feel that the wine they drank during the dinner was boiling in their stomachs. If he hadn't taken into account the identity of Prince Wei Su Shen, he would have left in a hurry on the excuse of going to the toilet the moment the piano sounded.
It's just a prelude, and it's already painful. Wei Sushen maintained a calm expression. When he accidentally touched Fang Shan's calm gaze, a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his heart -
From the existing knowledge, the system is very good in all aspects. Maybe it can really save this messed up piano sound with a mermaid-like voice.
Fang Shan's lips moved slightly, but he still found his own rhythm amidst such a mess of music: "The tits are on the branches—"
As soon as the voice came out, Wei Sushen's hand shook, and it was so sharp that the yellow dead leaves that were clinging to the branches and unwilling to leave fell down.
His mind was not on playing the piano at all, and the direction he looked up happened to be Emperor Chengyuan's forced smile, like a stiff and inferior painting.
Wei Sushen sighed inwardly. After all, he had overestimated himself. Compared with the system's singing, his playing skills were really... weak!
Fang Shan had hummed a little tune unconsciously before, and it sounded fine. Who would have expected that after the sound was amplified, it would have such an effect.
"The tits have flown away, and old sorrows have been replaced by new sorrows." After singing the last word, Fang Shan's face turned a little red: "It's embarrassing."
There was silence. In the silence, Emperor Chengyuan reluctantly found his voice: "A very distinctive singing voice."
If you don't do something well, people will laugh at you, but if it's really bad, it's hard for others to say anything. Especially Fang Shan, who has always had no sense of shame: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am ashamed that I deserve it."
Emperor Chengyuan didn't even want to look at him, as if his spirit had been greatly damaged. He turned to look at the envoy of Yuexiu Kingdom: "What musical instrument do you need?"
The envoy felt as if there were a thousand mosquitoes flying around his ears. All he needed now was a hammer to kill the source of the noise.
Fortunately, he was essentially a thoughtful person, and he quickly judged what to do and what not to do, and his reason prevented a bloody disaster.
He picked a leaf casually and put it between his lips. The melody flowing from his lips was neither good nor bad, but compared to the song Fang Shan and Wei Sushen played together before, it was considered fairy music.
Emperor Chengyuan ordered someone to fetch a jade flute. At first glance, it was not a common thing. Giving the jade flute to the envoy of the Yuexiu Kingdom represented his admission of defeat in this game.
"Yuexiu Country is also full of talents now." Emperor Chengyuan said with a smile.
The envoy held the jade flute he had just received in both hands: "Your Majesty, how can we show off like you?"
