One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Bu Fengyun's expression did not change much, but the determination in his eyes slightly wavered. He looked at the pale Bu Tinghe and suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, Ting He is not a commodity. This marriage represents the friendship between two countries and it does not involve any exchange of benefits. So why negotiate?"

Although the Great An Nation was not afraid of the Great Yue State, no one wanted to live in peace and harmony. After all, he was old and did not have his original ambitions, "Now that Prince An has spoken of it, I am finally at ease. Although there is some misunderstanding between us, Tinghe is a good child who is compatible with the Third Prince."

"Haha, your majesty is satisfied with Tinghe. I am extremely happy that the third prince is also like a dragon and a phoenix, a rare good child. When you learned that Tinghe was about to get married, your Imperial Brother immediately decided to give her six cities. You can see that you're very optimistic about this marriage."

"En, this is great. Prince An, please take a seat."

There was no expression on Shen Ninghua's face as she watched the scene with the teacup in her hand. Although Prince An seemed resolute and upright, he was actually able to bend and bend the knee. Yes, as the brother of the Emperor, he could gain the trust of the Emperor of the Great Yue and bestow upon his daughter the love of a princess. No matter what, he couldn't be a simple lord.

Prince An's eyes shone as he looked at Shen Ninghua. "I presume this must be Princess Zhao Hua?"

Shen Ninghua raised her gaze, a cold glint in her eyes as she replied, "Greetings, Prince An." Her words were polite, but she had no intention of standing up and bowing.

She was conferred the title of "Princess Guolong" and her rank was equal to that of a prince, the same as Prince An. Therefore, it was enough for her to be polite with him.

The corner of Prince An's mouth twitched, as if he was smiling, "I have long heard of Princess Zhao Hua's great reputation, and now that I have seen him, his reputation is well-deserved. In the letter written by Ting He, Princess Zhao Hua has extremely high attainments in music, and there was a musician in this prince's mansion who begged me to bring him here for guidance after hearing it. Someone, bring the musician out. "

He was dressed in white, and carried a zither in his arms. His fingers were slender as they caressed the zither, emitting a jade-like glow. He was actually half an inch longer than an ordinary person.

"Ininterested musician..."

"I haven't heard news about this master for a long time. Is he actually in Great Yue State?"

Hearing the two words "heartfelt musician", Shen Ninghua's gaze landed on the man's face. His hair was tied up with a jade crown, his forehead was full and shiny, his eyebrows were slanted into his temples, his pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were as clear as water, and his nose was as if there was a cloud in the sky.

This man could no longer be described with words like handsome. As he stood there silently, he gave off a feeling of tranquility, as if no matter how much time passed or how much time passed, his white clothes would remain untainted.

Even Lin Fei, who had always been the most innocent, became as filthy and dull as dust in front of this man.

Shen Ninghua fiercely blinked his eyes. He could only feel his mind shaking. This kind of feeling …

Baili Junyi was already back to reality, holding Shen Ninghua's hand under the cover of the table. Sweat was dripping down her palms.

Shen Ninghua slightly tightened her grip on him. In her heart, she raised her guard against the musician who was meticulous to the point that he could affect a person's mind with just his bearing alone. This person was not simple at all.

The heartless musician slowly walked to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground. He placed the zither in his hand in front of him and bowed respectfully to Baili Qingfeng, "Heartless pays his respects to the Emperor." His voice was like a pearl that had fallen off a plate. It carried a unique tone and rhythm, and was especially pleasing to the ear.

"Musician, please rise."

The heartfelt musician picked up the zither and turned to face Shen Ninghua. "I've heard of Princess Zhao Hua's beautiful name, so I've come presumptuously. I hope to have a chance to exchange a few words with you."

Shen Ninghua raised his gaze and looked into the man's eyes that were as clear as streams of water. Smiling, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid to disappoint the musician. I only had a crush on music at the time and didn't study it deeply. I didn't dare to take it out and make a fool of myself."

"It's hard for me to force him." The musician nodded slightly, revealing a faint smile. It was as light as the clouds in the sky.

Such a smile caused the surrounding people to be unable to bear it any longer. Some of them even started to persuade Shen Ninghua.

"The musicians have come from afar, and Princess Zhao Hua can just play a song and treat it as an exchange of pointers."

"That's right, let's have an exchange. Regardless of whether we win or lose, it will not be a waste for musicians like him to come here with such high expectations."

"The beauty of adulthood can also be considered a virtue."

The heartfelt musician continued to smile as he listened to the sounds around him. From time to time, he would show a grateful expression.

Shen Ninghua's eyes were as calm as still water, not putting any words in his eyes at all.

Prince An suddenly said, "My lords, Princess Zhao Hua, this King does not wish to force anyone into a corner. It's just that when the musician played the music, he was accidentally injured by a poisonous snake, and although the poison was detoxified, his eyes were injured. His time is running out now, and his greatest wish in life is to be able to obtain an intimate friend from a piece of music."

What?

Shen Ninghua followed everyone's gaze and looked at the heartbreaking musician. Her heart was filled with shock. A man with eyes as clear as water was actually blind …

The smile on his face didn't change at all: "Although it hurts my eyes and I can't see the outside world, my mind is much clearer than before. I don't care about external matters, instead, I can concentrate on playing the music. With music as a companion, I am not lonely. "

Looking at the man who was like the moonlight, even the usually resolute Shen Ninghua felt that it was a great pity. Yet, he himself didn't seem to care at all.

Prince An looked at Shen Ninghua and said, "Princess Zhao Hua, on the way here, musicians would vomit blood a few times because their bodies were unable to bear the burden. Their health would probably be even worse, and I don't know if I'll have the chance to find another person to compete with me."

Shen Ninghua raised his gaze to Prince An and asked, "Your Highness, why do you insist on letting the musicians compete against me?"

"This King was only kind. How could I have any other intentions if I did not want to see the musician put in the effort? Princess Zhaohua is too petty. "

Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed and coldly ridiculed, "Then it's my turn to make amends."

As she said this, she looked towards the musicians in the field, "Do the musicians know that at your level, every time you play a song, it takes a lot of effort. Your body is already at the end of its tether, forcing you to play it will only cause you to die faster."

"Of course I'm clear about it. However, if I can't continue playing the music, what's the difference between life and death?"

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll make a fool of myself."

Baili Qing Cang looked at the steward at the side, "Bring the green Qi from my warehouse over."

Inside the great hall, a zither table, prayer mats and incense burners were arranged. Shen Ninghua and the Innerheart sat on either side of them.

Originally, someone wanted to go up and sit down, but he shook his head and refused. Instead, he walked over to the zither table and placed it down with precision. He didn't seem like a blind person at all.

Although he couldn't see, his ears were twice as sensitive. Just as the waiter walked in and put down the zither table, she saw his ears slightly moving. It was probably because he was using his hearing to determine the location and distance of the zither table.

Shen Ninghua gently caressed Lu Qi, her entire being calming down. "How do the musicians want to compete?"

"Previously, I was the one who used my power to oppress others and offended the princess. However, I feel regretful for not listening to the princess' melody, so I decided to go with the formality. The princess can compete however she wants."

Shen Ninghua smiled. He didn't quite understand how such a virtuous and benevolent man could be mixed with Prince An. "Then let's play together. Considering the musician's standard, I assume he won't have any influence?"

The two of them sat behind a zither table and simultaneously closed their eyes. The great hall was abnormally quiet as they waited for the two people's match.

The corners of Prince An's eyes trembled as a bright light flashed in his eyes. When he thought of the silly-looking musicians who had competed with the musicians in his residence in the zither arts, his mood improved tremendously.

Although he had decided to give up on Baili Junyi and support the child of Ting He, he still had to vent his anger. Didn't Baili Junyi wish to die with Shen Ninghua? What if Shen Ninghua became a retard or a lunatic? Hahaha … Just thinking about this scene made him feel extremely relieved.

He had long heard of musicians before, and had also seen the scene of him competing with others. After the competition, those ordinary musicians were all dumbfounded, some of them even went crazy, no matter how great Shen Ninghua's zither arts were, it was impossible for her to win. However, he did not know why, but he still felt a sense of unease in his heart.

It was as if Shen Ninghua and Innerheart had some sort of tacit understanding. After a moment of silence, they both raised their hands to stroke the zither strings at the same time. A ripple that was like water suddenly reverberated throughout the hall. The zither notes they were playing continuously reverberated. Just one sound was enough to cause the minds of everyone present to waver, and their emotions were unstable.

Baili Junyi was startled, and the murderous look in his eyes became even colder. He knew inner force well and had even used it in the zither music. This was no longer a simple competition; it was no different from murder. If Xiao Hua's mind was stable and there were no flaws, it would be fine. But once there was a flaw, the zither music would take advantage of it and completely destroy her.

No, I can't let them keep competing.

He raised his eyes abruptly and was about to interrupt the duel when he saw Shen Ninghua opening her eyes and looking at him with a faint smile and certainty in her eyes. It was as calm as a lake without the slightest ripple, but the smile and warmth could clearly be seen.

Was he supposed to believe her?

He slowly loosened his clenched fist and slightly nodded his head. "Okay, Xiao Hua, I believe in you!"
