Legitimate Daughter Never Be Concubine

Due to a single order from the empress, many women were unable to make sufficient preparations. There were even quite a few people who had given up on performing. At this moment, Nangong Ru Yue, who had been sitting beside Mo Xiaoxiao, walked out.

Many people in the capital knew about Nangong Ru Yue. The guests of the Southern King's Estate were also great beauties in the capital. Although her arrival today had surprised many people, and they didn't know how she had managed to convince the Southern Princess Consort, the crowd was quite happy to see such a gentle beauty.

The empress, on the other hand, was looking at Nangong Ru Yue, deep in thought.

After Nangong Ruyue walked onto the stage, she smiled at the crowd. "Honored guests, Princess Zi Yan is here. Nangong Ru Yue has made a fool of herself."

After she finished speaking, Nangong Ruyue sat on the stage and played the profound guqin that she had prepared. Her zither skills were not very good, but she was also very skilled. Her gaze landed on Mo Li, who was in a corner of the pavilion.

Mo Li liked Su Jinyue, but this Su Jinyue was so virtuous that if she had any, she would probably be a retard. That was why Nangong Ru Yue came out.

It was to let Mo Li know that she, Nangong Ruyue, also had courage.

Su Jinyue liked the sound of the zither, so even though Nangong Ruyue's zither music pointed towards her, she still felt at ease listening to it. On the other hand, Mo Li looked at Su Jinyue with a puzzled expression. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

If she remembered correctly, in the stories about Su Jinyue, there had been a report that she did not understand anything about her. How could she be so absorbed in listening to it now?

Was it a disguise? Or was he pretending to understand now?

Obviously, Su Jinyue's character couldn't be the latter. Then, it should be the former, right?

There were too many mysteries on Su Jinyue. If he wanted to unlock it, he would need more time. As Mo Li thought this, he restrained his expression and pretended to enjoy the zither music.

Nangong Ruyue's playing was standard and proper, but everyone admired her. To be able to play it after Princess Ziyan played the zither, she clearly knew how to embarrass herself and did not wish for the atmosphere to turn cold.

"You're called Nangong Ru Yue?" After Nangong Ru Yue left the stage, the Queen asked.

When Nangong Ru Yue heard that, she nodded and said, "Yes, my daughter, Nangong Ru Yue."

"Do you know Nangong Chen?" The Queen continued to ask.

When Nangong Ru Yue heard that, a trace of surprise flashed past her beautiful eyes. "That's my father. However … Father passed away ten years ago. "

"So it's his child. No wonder." The empress mumbled something, then gestured for her to take her seat.

With Nangong Ruyue standing out first, there were quite a few people who would play the zither.

Just as the banquet was going on in an orderly manner, he suddenly heard a series of gasps.

Even Su Jinyue, who was listening to the zither, could not help but open her eyes. It did not matter if she did not open her eyes.

At the entrance to the imperial garden, a white-clothed man slowly walked in, a white jade zither in his hands. A fair face that couldn't even be compared to the White Jade Zither in her hands, it was really amazing how amazing the creator was.

The man's facial features were so exquisite that they could make one's hair stand on end. His almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and between his eyebrows was a clear and cold air. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, giving him a hint of brilliance. Her red lips slightly curled up, as if mocking the dirt in this world.

His long hair fell down to his waist, and the white jade crown covered half of his hair. There was not a single trace of light in his eyes, as if nothing was enough to enter his eyes.

He was like a deity that descended from the heavens to the earth. Loneliness and no one to warm.

The White Jade Zither in his bosom looked so fitting.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he slowly walked into the first pavilion. In that instant, Su Jinyue felt that the entire pavilion was glowing.

How could there be anyone in this world who was so good-looking?

Was it a faerie?

Su Jinyue was very suspicious. For a moment, he couldn't take his eyes off his face. The man, on the other hand, bowed slightly in front of everyone's eyes. His voice was elegant and gentle, like a jade plate that had been dropped by a pearl.

The man's voice finally broke the shock brought about by his appearance. At the same time, Su Jinyue also finally understood what the legendary Cloud stopped the flow of water looked like.

Because the entire imperial garden was silent, the empress's voice was very clear when she spoke. "Stop the water, look. The moment you arrive, you'll scare these girls speechless."

"It's like stopping the flow of water." The man spoke, his voice still graceful and gentle. Between his brows, there was a lingering sadness that made people want him to smile.

I hope he's happy.

"Esteemed Empress, Zi Yan learned a song earlier and has been wanting to seek Young Master Yun's guidance. May I?" Princess Ziyan spoke first before everyone else.

Hearing that, the Queen chuckled, "Take a look? I even said before, which family's young master would be able to catch the attention of Zi Yan?

"Empress, don't tease Purple Smoke." Princess Zi Yan's face flushed as she glanced bashfully at the Cloud Water. However, in his beautiful phoenix eyes, just like his name, there was no change in the water.

Princess Zi Yan retracted her gaze. She felt slightly dejected, but it was nothing. Because this person had always been like this. No one had entered his eyes, nor had anyone obtained his heart.

Water of the Clouds, Heart of Tranquil Water. No one knew who gave him such a name, but it was true … It was an appropriate person.

But so what? In this world, there was no one who understood this person's preferences better than her. There was also no one who could move him more than her. Princess Ziyan thought to herself as she once again wore that tranquil smile on her face.

He looked at Yun Zhishui and said, "Young Master Zhishui, may I borrow the White Jade Zither?"

Princess Ziyan's words made Yun Zhishui move. He tightened his White Jade Zither and looked at Princess Ziyan with a serious expression before shaking his head.

Princess Zi Yan didn't expect him to be so decisive. For a moment, she found it difficult to lower her head.

It was still Yun Ling'er who was beside him who said with a chuckle, "Princess, Big Brother Zhishui's White Jade Zither was left to him by his mother. No one has ever touched it before."

Yun Ling'er's words caused everyone to understand.

A trace of apology appeared on Princess Ziyan's face as she said, "I'm really sorry, Young Master Zhishui."

This time, Yun Zhishui didn't bother with her and found a place to sit down. There wasn't a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Princess Ziyan felt a sense of loss when she saw this. However, she still walked up the stage. She gave the pavilion a deep look, cleared her mind, and began to carefully play the melody.

Princess Zi Yan's zither skill was extraordinary, and this song was even more melodious. It was as though a singing girl was singing a sad song, causing one to be involuntarily saddened by her zither music.

The zither music carried grief and despair that could not be wished for, and all the hopes that could not be carried away. It also carried the desire to stake everything on one throw.

As Su Jinyue listened, she had to admit that Princess Zi Yan's zither music was really touching. When she looked at Princess Zi Yan, Su Jinyue had a desire to befriend her.

Soon, the zither music ended. Princess Zi Yan slowly walked down the stage and returned to the pavilion. She looked at Yun Zhishui who was sitting there and asked, "Young Master Yun, I wonder how Zi Yan is playing?"

This time, Yun Zhishui finally had a trace of an expression on his face. He looked at Princess Violet Flame with a smile on his face, as if he was appreciating her beauty. "It's nice to listen to."

Just by these two words, Princess Zi Yan was extremely excited.

Only the heavens knew, in order to create a sensation, she had bitterly practiced her zither techniques all these years, yet she had never obtained the name Zither. Only this year did she feel that she could truly move this heartless man before her, and finally played the zither.

His nice words were a form of affirmation towards her hard work over the years. In this world, there was no one who could love this person to such an extent like her.

"Young Master Yun, I've long heard that your zither skills are exceptional. May I ask if Zi Yan is fortunate enough to listen?" Princess Violet Smoke asked nervously as she looked at Yun Zhishui.

When Yun Zhishui heard this, he gave Princess Violet Smoke an extra glance. There seemed to be worry in his eyes as he said, "I don't play the zither."

When Princess Ziyan heard this, her excited mood instantly vanished. However, he still continued to ask with some anticipation in his heart: "Then, I wonder if Zi Yan can play Young Master Yun's zither music again in the future?"

"Alright." Yun Zhishui's voice was very calm and without a trace of emotion. However, the word 'good' caused Princess Ziyan to feel extremely excited.

As long as she could meet him, as long as she could get along with him, she could find a way to make him fall in love with her. Even if she had to risk everything, she wouldn't give up on this person.

Princess Ziyan's conversation with Yun Zhishui left Su Jinyue speechless. This Yun Zhishui was truly a heartless person, just as Mo Li had said.

Princess Zi Yan's feelings for him could probably be seen with her own eyes, but Yun Zhishui was not moved in the slightest. He had even openly given Princess Zi Yan hope.

However, what Yun Zhishui admired was only Princess Ziyan's zither skill.

Thinking up to here, Su Jinyue couldn't help but shake her head. The Goddess didn't mean to, so she pitied Princess Violet Yan.
