The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 102's
Ziyan was still silent and looked at Rong feiyue expressionlessly.
" So according to Miss Rong. If I'm an ordinary person then I don't deserve to be engaged to prince rui? "
" I, that's..." Feiyue hesitated. If he justifies, it is not the same as doubting the order of the emperor who gave the engagement and it is the same as offending the emperor. Only a fool would do it.
" That's not what I meant Miss Mo. You are the girl chosen directly by the emperor, you are definitely not an ordinary girl. I was just curious and wanted to see one of your talents. Prince rui as well I sure want to see him too. "
This Feiyue could completely avoid trouble. He gave an answer that did not offend the emperor and could simultaneously corner him.
Ziyan lazily continued to argue with him. So he turned to Sima rui and asked.
"Prince. You want to see my show? "
" no. "
" If I'm not talented, I can't play music, and I can dance. Do you mind His Majesty? "
Sima rui stared back at ziyan and was silent for a moment before finally opening her voice.
" I'm looking for a wife not a showman. "
Hearing Sima rui's unexpected answer made some people hold back a laugh. Some also feel slapped. If the person in question does not mind, why should those who are only outsiders blame him.
Ziyan smiled, "You heard that Miss Rong. Finding a partner is not measured by talent or ability. But from how much he understands our partner. So even though I'm not talented, I believe I deserve to be with prince rui. " Behind Ziyan's smile, there was an intimidating look.
Feiyue felt small when she saw Ziyan's gaze. It was as if he was a prey and Ziyan was his predator. This girl was not as easy as he had expected. Had he intentionally acted weak before.
Sima shao was satisfied with the way Ziyan finished it. Without even bothering to argue he used Sima rui as his solution. He knew that Feiyue was looking down on him and considered it inappropriate for his son. Indirectly his son is also one of the factors causing the debate between the two girls. Had he not been handsome and great, of course Miss Rong would not have continued to cling to him. Therefore it is only natural that his son is also responsible.
' Good of my son. You know who you're supposed to defend. '
The empress had no disagreements with Ziyan, but because her son Sima yan loved her. It made him slightly dislike Ziyan. To him Ziyan was a small pebble that could block his plan.
" Miss Mo. It's okay if you don't want to play because that's Miss Rong's request. But would if I asked for it, you would also refuse? "
Ziyan was slightly surprised when the empress opened her voice. He was not interested in her before, but why now...
" Of course I don't dare to turn her down, Your Majesty. It's just that the servant is afraid, the servant's bad game will disturb His Majesty. "
" You're very humble Miss Mo. Reportedly you are very good at playing music, poetry and also embroidery. It made me curious, so I wanted to see it. So you just show me, and let me judge if it's bad or not. "
Although it was only a short conversation, Ziyan could feel the pressure from the empress' words. He felt that he had never offended the Queen. But why today the empress seems to want to complicate it.
Sima rui clearly knew what made the empress behave like that. He looked at Sima yan. Blaming her sister only added more trouble for Ziyan. ' How are you going to finish it Yan. '
Since it was already like this there was no reason for Ziyan to dodge anymore. It is like being at the end of the board between having to jump or follow orders. From the outside Ziyan was indeed calm. But actually he was racking his brain, thinking about what he would show. He was someone who grew up in Britain, the cultures of the two countries were clearly much different. Western and eastern cultures are like oil and water. Very different and difficult to put together.
Moreover, he grew up in the military environment, only deepening martial arts and a little development of weapons. While musical instruments taught in British schools, is the instrument of the western season.
'Shit! ' Ziyan cursed inwardly. He had no idea something like this would happen. If he knew, he would have learned first one of the musical instruments of this world.
" How is Miss Mo? "The Empress again asked Ziyan who still seemed to be thinking.
Ziyan chose the zither, because he played it once in Britain, but also how to play the zither which is almost similar to the harp and guitar.
The waiter who was asked to prepare the zither had completed his task. Ziyan sat in front of the zither with dozens of pairs of eyes watching him. Ziyan took a deep breath trying to calm her rapidly pounding heart. He touched the zither, closed his eyes. Tried back on his memory as he played sitar with his father.
* A slash means a conversation in English.
" gai.. Do you know the four pleasures of the world according to our ancestral traditions? "
" no. Is eating, drinking, playing, and having fun dad. "
Kevin hit Gaia on the head with the book he was holding.
" Abviously, if your mother hears you, be prepared to say goodbye to all your savings. "
Hearing her father's warning, Gaia immediately shut her mouth. Rosy's mother is scary, she knows that Gaia loves sweet food. He always kept it as his treasure.
Looking at his daughter who had understood, Kevin went on. " The four pleasures according to our tradition are playing zither, chess, writing and drawing. Besides playing the zither, you've learned everything. So now it's time... "
Kevin took out a large box, and placed it in front of his daughter.
" open. " Keyl told her daughter to open the box.
Gaia immediately opened it and was surprised to see the contents of the box.
" This... zitar? "
" right. I want you to learn it. Although we live and live in Britain, remember our origins and traditions. Youunderstand? "
Ziyan nodded.
After that he began to practice the basic notes of sitar with his father. Unfortunately, the war broke out a few days later. Her mother and father were busy again. And before he could show me the song he had learned. It's all too late. Now he is trapped in this place.
' Father, mother, I hope you can hear it. '
A song he never showed to his parents. Now he will play in front of everyone, especially in front of his father and mother in this world. Although this is a farewell song but this is the only song he memorized. Luckily Ziyan had the ability of 'absolute tunes' which made it easier for her to remember a tone.
After recalling the notes he would play. He began to take slow passages and create a sad sound and a sad instrument began to flow.

Everyone seemed to be carried away, they closed their eyes to appreciate the music that was being played. The groove is so heartbreaking, making everyone remember the sad memories that have been experienced.
