At first glance, Concubine Shu's words sounded like she was trying to persuade Lu Xiang not to overestimate his own abilities, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a provocation.

If she refuses, it will leave an impression of incompetence on others.

But if she agrees, she will be ridiculed if she doesn't play well.

From the beginning to the end, Concubine Shu was convinced that she could not play the high mountains and flowing water.

Not just Concubine Shu, everyone thinks so, otherwise Chu Paner would not deliberately set this trap for her.

Lu Xiang's heart sank slightly. This kind of performance was proposed by Liu Anhui. It was obvious that Liu Anyao had dug a hole for her. Empress Yao was the cinnabar mole in the emperor's heart. After her death, everything related to her could not be treated.

Taboos mentioned.

The song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" made her famous all over the world, but for so many years no one dared to play it. In addition to not being able to play the essence of Queen Yao and not daring to imitate her, they were also afraid of humiliating Emperor Yao and Emperor Ruonu if she played it poorly.

Lu Xiang didn't want to be in the limelight and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, before she could speak, Concubine Xian scolded Chu Pan'er in a displeased tone: "Pan'er, don't mess around. Mountains and rivers are so difficult to play. Not everyone has the talent like Queen Yao."

Chu Pan'er was not annoyed, she twisted her eyes at the concubine Xian, pouted and said, "Concubine, I'm not kidding. When I attended the banquet, I heard Lu Xiang himself say that he could play mountains and rivers, and this paper

The handwriting on the note was clearly written by her, and I was just doing it as a favor."

The coquettish voice is delicate and soft.

No one heard the vicious voice in her heart.

Empress Yao is extremely important in the heart of the father, and no one can blaspheme her. Lu Xiang would be dead today if he could only follow the high mountains and flowing water.

"Your Majesty..." Queen Song's eyes tightened, and she opened her mouth to speak for Lu Xiang, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Oh... Miss Lu San is so confident?" The Queen Mother looked at Lu Xiang and chuckled: "I hope she is not blindly arrogant."

Emperor Cheng De looked at Lu Xiang expressionlessly, making it difficult to see through his emotions at the moment.

"Maybe I haven't listened to it for a long time. In that case, you can play a song."

Queen Song's heart suddenly sank.

Chu Jinyan looked at Lu Xiang with his dark eyes, preparing to reassure her not to panic, but unexpectedly, Lu Xiang gave him a reassuring look, and his shining beautiful eyes were full of confidence, making Chu Jinyan

They couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Is Lu Xiang going to play high mountains and flowing water?

Chu Jinyan was confused, but he saw persistence in Lu Xiang's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and then did not speak.

She never fights an uncertain battle, maybe she can really surprise him.

After thinking about it, Chu Jinyan relaxed his expression.

Moreover, Chu Pan'er is deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, so if she loses without a fight, wouldn't she be afraid of her?

At worst, if you screw up, he will deal with the aftermath.

Lu Xiang walked into the palace under the watchful eyes of everyone. Some were looking forward to it, some were nervous, and some were enjoying the misfortune as if they were watching a good show.

Although her father is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he came from a small place after all. What kind of knowledge can he have? Maybe he thought he knew how to play after overhearing a story about mountains and rivers. There are countless princesses in this palace who grew up in the capital.

No one of the legitimate daughters of the Hou family dares to pat their chests and say that their piano skills are on par with those of Queen Yao back then.

Someone had already set up the piano in the hall. Lu Xiang sat down, gently plucked the strings with his fingertips and tried the sound. Then he took a deep breath and started playing calmly and elegantly.

The sound of the piano was long and soothing, and for a moment, the entire hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone stared at Lu Xiang in disbelief with their eyes wide open, and their eyes were filled with astonishment.

"This... it's really high mountains and flowing water. This piano skill is not inferior to that of Queen Yao back then." Someone started discussing in a low voice with the people around him.

"No, at first glance I thought I was back to the moment when I heard Queen Yao play the piano."

"This little girl from the Lu family is really not simple!"

"That's not right. Does it sound a little different to you?"

"..."

"Hey, it's really different. Has she changed the score?"

"I can't say it's changed, it's just a different flavor. Not only is it less obtrusive, it's even more amazing."

"It's incredible, it's incredible..."

Chu Pan'er's original sneer expression suddenly changed, and Liu Anyao, who had come up with this idea, stared at Lu Xiang in disbelief. Her hands under the table were clenched into fists, and her long nails were almost digging into her flesh.

How is it possible?

How did Lu Xiang know how to play the mountain and flowing water?

As the legitimate daughter of a minister, she has been taught by famous masters in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Even she can't play "Gao Shan Liu Shui". How could a country bumpkin like Lu Xiang do it?

Although she had never heard Queen Yao play "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", she knew from the emperor's slightly reminiscing look that Lu Xiang played it well.

Damn it.

She originally wanted her to anger the emperor, but unexpectedly, she was given a chance to shine.

However, who would have thought that the Lu Xiang in front of her was reborn and had the memories of her previous life. Naturally, she would not be stumped by Liu Anyao's move.

In her previous life, in order for Xiao Muheng to be valued by Chu Jinyan, who had become the crown prince, she had studied Empress Yao very carefully, and she had even painstakingly studied the piece "Mountains and Flowing Waters", fearing that completely reproducing Empress Yao's piano skills would make people feel uninterested.

It was tasteless, which made the emperor and Chu Jinyan have a grudge, so after various attempts, they came up with the slightly modified Gaoshanliushui.

After her rebirth, she was the only one who changed. The emperor was still the same emperor. If she could satisfy the emperor back then, she could do the same today.

Chu Jinyan had never heard his biological mother play the music of Mountains and Flowing Waters, but he was immersed in Lu Xiang's music. There was surprise in his cold eyes. He stared at the beautiful figure in the center of the hall, and his heart was filled with softness.

Lu Xiang is like a treasure. Whenever I feel that this is the most amazing aspect of her, if I dig deeper, I will still find other surprises.

Chu Chengli rubbed the wine glass in his hand, his dark eyes looking at Lu Xiang for a moment, and a strong desire for possession could not be suppressed in his heart.

Beside him, Shen Jingshu turned her head and looked around as if she was feeling something. The weeds of jealousy continued to grow.

After the song ended, the hall fell silent for a long time, and no one was immersed in the wonderful sound of the piano. It was not until Lu Xiang stood up and the clear and pleasant voice sounded that everyone came back to their senses.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Queen, forgive me for showing my ugliness and forgetting the Queen Mother."

It took Emperor Chengde a while to come back to his senses. He looked at Lu Xiang with a look of satisfaction in his eyes and high-fived his hands: "Okay, I haven't heard such a pleasant piece of music for a long time."

It's nostalgia, and it also relieves his lovesickness.

The mountains and rivers of Yin'er have always been in his memory. Now that he heard it again, even if it was not played by the same person, it made him realize his wish.

Emperor Chengde applauded, and bursts of applause burst out from the entire hall.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary that your daughter admires Queen Yao's piano skills. Back then, her song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" was famous all over the world and made my daughter yearn for it. But my daughter is stupid and has only scratched the surface of my knowledge. Thanks to the emperor for not giving up, I am deeply grateful.

"Lu Xiang saluted.
