Gu Shiyi only nodded her head, she did not provide any guarantee to Situ Ming, which made him worry about today's competition.

In this competition, if Gu Shiyi lost, wouldn't that be slapping his Great Xia Kingdom in the face? When she thought of this, Situ Ming's expression, which was originally filled with expectation, instantly became gloomy.

After the head eunuch introduced the judges of the talent competition, a wave of sighs and sighs sounded out from below the stage.

It turned out that the three judges of this talent competition were the renowned Immortal Music Workshop's Owner Cheng Feiyang, the master of the music industry, Qin Fenghua, and the number one courtesan in the world, Dancing Elegance, who had arrived from Great Yu Kingdom three days ago.

These three people, no matter who it was, were all highly regarded by the world as figures standing at the peak of this industry.

Cheng Feiyang was already a Old Man that was in the shape of a flower armor at the age of twenty, and dressed in an indigo auspicious cloud robe, he appeared abnormally energetic. Gu Shiyi could even see from his deep and bright eyes that when he was young, she was definitely a beautiful man that captivated tens of thousands of girls.

Qin Fenghua was wearing a plain blue robe and his face remained expressionless from start to finish. However, his ice-cold expression did not seem out of place under his handsome face. Instead, it gave his surroundings a somewhat cold feeling.

She was enchanting, and her entire body exuded a mature charm. Even though she appeared to be in her thirties, her graceful figure was not the least bit inferior to the 17-18 year old girl. However, she also possessed a different sort of charm that caused people to unconsciously be attracted to her.

Following that, the head eunuch started to announce the competition's rules. In this talent competition, the contestants could freely perform their abilities within the range of the music, music, and dance. The victor or loser would be decided by the three judges.

And then, Gu Shiyi and Shangguan Xianyue would draw a lot. Gu Shiyi was speechless, there were only two people in total, what was the point in drawing a lot?

But in the end, Shangguan Xianyue was first, and then Gu Shiyi.

After the head eunuch announced the order of appearance, Shangguan Xianyue suddenly looked towards Gu Shiyi, revealing a meaningful smile towards her, causing Gu Shiyi to feel somewhat baffled.

However, she could see that Shangguan Xianyue was extremely confident in her victory, and Gu Shiyi replied with a generous smile.

It wasn't until Shangguan Xianyue took out the musical instrument that Gu Shiyi realized that she was going to play the xun.

Gu Shiyi was only concerned with looking at the stage, but she did not notice that at the moment Shangguan Xianyue took out the Tao Xun, an extremely obvious unnatural expression flashed across Situ Jing's face, and even his chin had become a lot colder.

Shangguan Xianyue held onto the Tao Xun, but in her heart, she was ridiculing Gu Shiyi. Didn't she rely on a song to play on the Phoenix Festival s to become famous?

However, she had thoroughly investigated Gu Shiyi's background. She was just an unfavoured daughter of the Prime Minister, who would even ask her master to teach her how to play the xun?

Even if Gu Shiyi had outstanding talent and was a self-taught genius, a person who didn't go out of her way to study systematically, how could he compare to her, someone who had been learning since childhood?

Shangguan Xianyue had already attributed this to the fact that fewer people were studying pottery xun in Great Xia Kingdom and even fewer were listening to xun. Perhaps, it was because it was their first time listening to a xun and felt that it was new, that they were able to achieve the name of the number one genius in Gu Shiyi?

Today, she wanted to let everyone see what a real xun song was. She wanted to use the xun song that Gu Shiyi was the most proud of, to ruthlessly trample Gu Shiyi's face on the ground.

Also, from what she knew, Gu Shiyi only knew how to play Tao Xun, nothing else. She didn't know if, after playing Tao Xun, Gu Shiyi would play Tao Xun or not.

But no matter which one, she was the true winner of this competition. Not only had she won the competition, she had also let the world know how deceitful Gu Shiyi's title of a talented girl was, and how unworthy she was of being the princess of the Prince Su Palace!

The moment Shangguan Xianyue took out the Tao Xun, the entire place became quiet. Amongst them, some of them had heard Gu Shiyi's bragging on the Phoenix Festival before, and at that moment, all of their faces were full of interest. Their intuition told them that this was a good show.

Even Situ Xun had a face of mockery. He was also someone who understood the rhythm well, but with Gu Shiyi's attainments, he was certain that Qin Fenghua might not be able to surpass her.

And this Shangguan Xianyue, the woman who loved to help out with the power techniques the most, even if she had studied Tao Xun since young, how could she be as calm as water like how she was back then? Although he was extremely passionate about her marriage with Shangguan Xianyue, in his eyes, she was just a bargaining chip for her position.

Shangguan Xianyue, how can she be compared with his eleven!

Some felt that it was new, but their eyes lit up. Some people felt that it was not wrong, and some people thought that it was nice to listen to, but they immediately forgot about it. Some people could not stand hearing Shangguan Xianyue's song after hearing it, and some people covered their ears to express how unpleasant the song was.

The three evaluators on stage looked normal, they were not surprised nor did they feel that it was dull, they only felt that for a woman who was busy with court affairs like Shangguan Xianyue, to be able to cause someone to see her in such a manner, was truly impressive.

Gu Shiyi sat beside Situ Jing, feeling bored to death. She leaned on her cheek and squinted her eyes slightly, to be honest, when she heard Shangguan Xianyue's xun, she felt like she was listening to a lullaby, and the more she heard, the more tired she became. At the same time, she felt that it was sarcastic in her heart.

As for Situ Jing, after that moment of awkwardness, he had been sipping on that small teacup the entire time. It was not that he did not know that Shangguan Xianyue played the xun, but he also knew her level like the back of his hand. Situ Jing only felt that he had been blind in his previous life, to actually be bewitched by such a woman.

On the other hand, the members of the Great Liu diplomatic mission all had intoxicated expressions. Not only was their princess the number one beauty in their Great Liu Kingdom, she was also the most talented girl.

Only Situ Ming had a face full of uncertainty. Honestly speaking, Shangguan Xianyue's standards were indeed good, but, even though he had heard of Gu Shiyi's xun song before, she had never heard of it. At this time, he really did not dare to make any rash judgements.
