Raising her eyebrows slightly, Yun Qianyu looked over and saw that Princess Zhao Hua was dancing in the middle of the hall. Every time she glided and spun, her eyes would fall on Xiao Jiuyuan.
Could it be that she had fallen for Xiao Jiuyuan?
Yun Qianyu’s heart sank. Although Xiao Jiuyuan wouldn’t marry her, the Emperor had said that no matter who Princess Zhao Hua liked, she would be arranged to marry him by imperial edict.
In this way, if Xiao Jiuyuan openly refused the marriage, he would be disobeying the Imperial decree.
In the past, he had refused the emperor’s edict. If he kept doing this, the Emperor would probably be angry.
Just as Yun Qianyu was thinking about it, she suddenly felt that someone was staring at her from the hall.
She quickly looked up and saw the Crown Prince of Nan Zhao, Zhuge Jin, looking at her with narrowed eyes.
There was a faint look of inquiry in his deep and dark eyes.
Yun Qianyu frowned, wondering why the Crown Prince was staring at her.
However, Yun Qianyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. In her heart, she instinctively thought that the reason why the Crown Prince was staring at her was because he had received news.
The person Xiao Jiuyuan liked was her, and his sister wanted to marry Xiao Jiuyuan, so he just wanted to see what kind of person she was.
As soon as Yun Qianyu thought about it, Princess Zhuge Qing’s dance ended.
Thunderous applause rang out in the hall.
Zhuge Jin bowed slightly and was about to leave.
However, before she could retreat, the old Emperor in the hall called out to her.
“Princess Zhao Hua’s dance is unique, and this Emperor has had a feast for his eyes. This Emperor has heard that Princess Zhao Hua is proficient in the four Arts. I wonder if Princess Zhao Hua would be willing to perform another talent for us and let us have a taste of Nan Zhao’s elegance.”
Since the old Emperor had spoken, Princess Zhao Hua naturally wouldn’t refuse. Her sweet and lively voice slowly sounded.
“Since the Emperor has given the decree, how could Zhaohua not obey?”
After saying that, she thought for a moment and continued,””Then radiant will perform a song for everyone. This song is called ambush from all sides.”
An ambush from all sides?
Everyone in the hall instantly began to discuss fervently.
Just hearing the name of this song gave one a sense of grandeur, and it must be very powerful.
Their eyes were filled with eagerness.
Princess Zhao Hua’s maidservant immediately brought out a zither and quickly arranged it. Then, she helped her princess play the zither.
The sound of a zither soon rang out in the hall.
As the sound of the zither rose, the previous cheerful scene in the hall was no longer there. Everyone seemed to be instantly pulled into a suffocating small dark room by the sound of the zither. Their hearts could not help but feel uneasy, and their heartbeats subconsciously accelerated.
Everyone seemed to see a scene in front of them, a scene of being covered by enemies and being hunted down.
A murderous aura gathered from all directions.
At this time, everyone felt that the person being chased in the image was themselves. They were struggling with their lives, escaping bitterly, and following them in times of danger, causing them to constantly feel the aura of danger.
In the main hall, the zither music was rapid, and the tune was getting more and more urgent, as if thousands of troops and horses had surrounded them. The feeling of wanting to break free was tightly gripping everyone’s throat.
Just at this moment, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped.
In the hall, everyone was unable to calm down for a long time. It took a long time for them to feel the urgency and suffocation of the zither music.
However, this feeling was so exciting and nervous, completely different from the romantic music they usually heard.
This song was too powerful.
In the main hall, the Emperor was the first to clap, and then the hall was filled with thunderous applause.
