Yanyue and I went straight to the music-shop. The moment we arrived, we could hear the sound of music coming from outside the door.
My dad used to be a classical music fanatic. He taught me to play flute and Xiao since I was a kid. He didn't play very well, but he also entered the house.
I loved classical music because of his influence. In the past, when I listened to music with my friends, I always listened to it in an ancient style. They even mocked me for wanting to go back to the ancient times and meet an ancient handsome man.
"Yu Xing, why did you ask me to come here? Don't tell me that you want me to learn how to play, but I'm telling you that it gives me a headache the moment I see these things. When I was young, my father used to hit me with a stick, but I didn't learn it." At the entrance of the music-shop, Yan Yue grabbed onto me with a face full of resistance.
"What are you thinking about? Even if you wanted to learn now, it would be too late. I won't let you do this. Rest assured." I smiled and patted the back of her hand to reassure him.
Hong'er, who was at the side, heard my guarantee and let out a sigh of relief. She looked so nervous and cute.
When we arrived at the entrance, a pretty girl stopped us. It seemed like she was a musician, but she seemed to be a bit young and she might even be an apprentice.
The atmosphere of the people here was still relatively open, and it didn't put these people in the lower rankings like in the previous dramas.
Instead, the musicians here, the singers. Dancers are also very respected, but if you have a skill, and can make people submit, you will win respect.
Sure enough, the country was stable and prosperous, and the entertainment life of the people was extensive. The music-shop naturally became a very noble existence in the palace.
However, the bad thing about it was that these people were always arrogant and didn't know what was going on because of the praise of others.
Just like this little girl right now, she was wearing simple and elegant, light blue skirt, and a slim figure. She looked like a weak little jade from her family, but she opened her mouth.
"Who are you people? Don't you know that this is not a place where random people can enter?" The little girl had one hand on her waist and the other on our backs.
She was a woman with a violent temperament, and she had been raised in a noble family. Her temper instantly rose as she rolled up her sleeves to teach that girl a lesson.
I thought that if I came here, I would need someone to help me. Although this was their duty, it was still better to be friendly with them.
I held onto her, signalling for her not to be impulsive. Who would have thought that in the eyes of that little girl, it was as though we were afraid. We immediately started to put on airs.
"Enough, don't stand in the way of the eyes. In a while, the Emperor will personally come to the music-shop. If you were to offend His Majesty, then you will suffer." That little girl had a stern expression on her face as she said impatiently.
"And who are you? Your tone is quite arrogant." When I saw her overbearing appearance, I couldn't resist anymore. I refused to believe that I had the emperor's gift in my hands. There was still a place in this palace that I couldn't go to.
"If we must go in." I withdrew my smile and looked at the little girl with a cold expression.
"Then don't blame me for not reminding you guys. Men, blast these two people who are causing trouble out, do not let them disturb the musicians in their training, and dirty the peace and quiet of music-shop." The little girl instructed the two eunuchs who were guarding the door.
The two young eunuchs heard the order and came forward. They looked at us hesitantly.
"What are you guys doing? Why aren't you attacking?" The little girl looked at the two eunuchs and said unhappily.
"Miss Luoluo, from a glance, you can tell that these two girls are definitely not ordinary people. They must be the relatives of the court officials. We shouldn't treat them this way." A young eunuch asked while trembling.
"So what? Our music-shop is highly regarded by the emperor, even the emperors of the palace have to show their posts. Furthermore, these two look unfamiliar, so it doesn't seem like they came from any palace." That little girl sneered, as if she was looking down on us.
"Yu Xing, I can't stand it any longer. What do you think we should do?" Yan Yue gritted her teeth as she looked at Su Su, her face filled with fury.
"I can't tolerate it anymore. I don't believe that I won't be able to enter a small music-shop today." I flexed my muscles and prepared to move.
There was a moment of fear in the eyes of the little girl called Su Su, and she immediately hid behind the two young eunuchs. She did not forget to push them aside, wanting them to take action.
"If you guys still don't act, I'll get the Lady Autumn and the Emperor to tell them to kick you out of the palace." The little girl glared at them.
The two young eunuchs' faces instantly turned deathly pale with fright. They had already decided to bid farewell to the outside world after entering the palace. If they left the palace, there wouldn't be any place for them to stay.
I coldly looked at that little girl. I didn't expect that she would have such a dark heart at such a young age. Her words were so venomous. Wouldn't she turn into a spirit once she grows up?
But what I am more curious about is who this Lady Autumn is, according to Su Su's tone, she seems to be a popular person beside the Emperor.
"Qiu Yi is that demoness again. Can it be that she can change the emperor's decision?" Since she couldn't hide anything when she thought of it, she asked directly.
"Hahahaha." That little girl seemed to have heard some big joke and couldn't stop smiling. The two little eunuchs also looked at us, puzzled.
"Are you people of the palace? You actually don't even know about Lady Autumn. No wonder you are so rude." The little girl withdrew her smile with a face full of contempt.
"Isn't it very embarrassing for this Qiu Yi to not know her? I've come to the palace so many times, but I've never heard the Emperor mention her." I was also dumbfounded, I had never heard of such a person.
"Then listen carefully, our Lady Autumn is the most talented girl in Jiangnan, a good guqin player. We were summoned by the Emperor to the palace to become a musician, and what the Emperor likes to hear the most is our young lady playing the zither." That little girl had a face full of pride.
"So, is the emperor bestowing her the title of 'concubine' or publicly confessing to her? You're so overbearing." I asked again, if the emperor simply listened to her play the zither once, there was nothing to show off.
"What do you mean by that? Even the emperors of the palace have to be courteous to us due to our young ladies' deep preferences. Who do you think you are?" The little girl's expression became even more unsightly.
