Yu Qingjia gritted her teeth, and wanted to hit someone but could not, she riveted to write down two lines of the score and threw it in front of Murong Yan with no good grace,

“You say it sounds good, then you come ah.”

The finger movements in this piece, conflict a lot with each other, and the leap was oftentimes too huge.

Yu Qingjia did not want to play this at all, she deliberately composed this to make things difficult for others.

But Murong Yan only swept his eyes down, then glanced disdainfully at Yu Qingjia.

He then sat down in front of the Zither table, did not even practice, and played it directly.

His musical talent was inherited well.

After all, the Murong family are not bad-looking, although they had issues with their sanity, but there’s also something they’re well known for— Their musical talent.

Don’t look at the current emperor, even though he’s absurd and stupid, but his pipa and zither skills are extremely good.

During the palace banquets, once the emperor dislikes a musician’s clumsy music, he will even personally take over the pipa to play it.

The rest of the Murong family princes are also proficient in music as well, and there are many people who can play multiple instruments.

Murong Yan, however, was definitely more outstanding than any of them combined.

A deliberately difficult and tricky piece of music, under Murong Yan’s hands, was as well-behaved as a domestic cat.

It even revealed a unique, strange, and splendid feeling because of the weird changes in his finger movements.

Yu Qingjia knew that Murong Yan had some talent in music beforehand, but she was still surprised that his talent was so outstanding.

Her competitive spirit was completely aroused, and she reached out and pressed the strings before the last scattered tone dissipated.

Such behavior was certainly provocative to the music player, and Yu Qingjia looked straight into Murong Yan’s eyes and said,

“Dare to compete? Each of us will write a piece of music, and the one who can’t play it will admit defeat.”

Murong Yan looked into Yu Qingjia’s eyes and after a moment, smiled gently and said,

“Okay.”

The two of them were young and vigorous, and they both had outstanding talent in music, so they were more or less conceited.

Now the two of them were intent on showing off their musical skills, and the scores they wrote were getting harder and harder.

Their finger movements were changing faster and faster.

One of them writes, and after writing, the other one plays, and if the other one is not overwhelmed, then the right to play is exchanged to the other person.

It goes on for a while, until someone plays the wrong syllable or presses the wrong string.

In the end, the sound of the Zither became even more aggressive, almost murderous.

Yin Zhu went in to change the water, she stood at the door for a while, and then silently carried the water out.

Yin Zhu suddenly felt the world’s deep malice, and she thought that although she was slow to react, she could always make up for it by spending more time and effort.

But when she saw the Young Miss and Lady Jing playing the Zither, Yin Zhu suddenly became uncertain.

That kind of world, I’m afraid even if she spent her entire life in it, she can never get a glimpse of it.

Yin Zhu inexplicably gave birth to a sense of envy, Sixth Miss and Lady Jing are both stunning.

They usually matched each other very well when they sat together, and now these two are enjoying music together like friends.

Anyone who watches them would feel like they’re being gradually separated by a huge barrier.

Yin Zhu even thinks that no one can intervene between the Sixth Miss and Jing Huan’s world.

Yin Zhu sighed while pouring new tea, Yin Bei saw Yin Zhu coming back, and casually asked,

“You’re shaking your head again, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about the Sixth Miss and Lady Jing.”

Yin Zhu poured the water that had become cold into the flower garden and turned around to look at the hot water on the stove.

As she scoop the water, she said,

“Do you hear that sound of music right now? That’s our Miss and Lady Jing giving questions to each other. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that someone could write and play the zither like that. I’m afraid that both our Miss and Lady Jing are born from the gods.”

Yin Bei didn’t respond to Yin Zhu’s sentiments, her eyes slowly turned around,

“Are they writing, and playing music now?”

‘Sixth Miss said that her scores may have been collected by other maids, whether she could keep them or not was still a matter of debate. Could it be that the Zither scores the Fourth Miss wanted was this?’

?

That night, Yu Qingya couldn’t help but frown as she flipped through the things in her hand.

She asked the system suspiciously,

“System, is this Chang Hongqu?”

The system scanned the things in Yu Qingya’s hand, searched it for a long time, and replied, ?This is an ancient written musical piece, not the common musical score in the future. It lacks the relevant information, and cannot be identified by the database.?

“Then you don’t have a ready-made audio of Chang Hongqu?”

?Many traditional cultures have been lost in our Era. The song, Chang Hongqu, is extremely difficult among Zither pieces due to its age and complicated techniques. It is of an extremely difficult level among all ancient zither pieces, and by the time it enters the interstellar era, it will have long since become extinct.?

Yu Qingya sighed in disappointment, she originally wanted the system to assist her using the existing audio, so she could adjust and practice according to it.

Now it seems that she can only decipher the piece herself.

Yu Qingya asked the maid to prepare the zither, she was full of confidence before she started to play, but after playing only less than one line, she simply suspected that Yin Bei was blindly using it to deceive her,

“Is this really a zither score?”

With only one line, Yu Qingya had already messed up, and her hands were already feeling cramped.

When she saw the densely packed score in front of her, her eyes couldn’t help but turn dim.
