chapter 611: numb from winning
translator: atlas studios editor: atlas studios
everyone heard the slow and crisp applause of the princess of the western jin kingdom and woke up from a dream. they pulled themselves out of the immersion of the music.
only then did they realize that their faces were covered in tears. their clothes were drenched in hot sweat, and their hearts were beating violently. it was difficult for them to even breathe. âgood!â
qin canglan stood up and clapped!
su xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him. eh, when did grandpa reach?
when su xiaoxiao played, she was like a thousand troops. her young shoulders carried the weight of all living beings in the world. at that moment, she shone brightly!
at this moment, she suddenly tilted her head. the cold killing intent disappeared between her eyebrows, like a soldier who had returned from a bloodbath, revealing the innocence and inexperience of a young man. everyone was overwhelmed by her cuteness and their hearts ached for her.
after the pain, everyone was stunned.
what were they doing?
damn, the aftereffects of this song were too great!
the old marquis also stood up and clapped!
the entire venue was shocked and the applause lasted for a long time.
the princess of northern yanâs face turned green. the response to her playing wasnât even a fraction to that of su xiaoxiaoâsâ¦
âqin su! you play really well! you all play very well! itâs like immortal music!â the young princess of the western jin dynasty praised, â1 didnât like to listen to music in the past, but if every song in the future is like tonight, then iâll like it!â
as she spoke, she turned to look at the princess of the western jin dynasty. âmother, i want to learn the zither!â
prince li looked at her in surprise and smiled. âyour mother forced you to learn in the past. have you forgotten how many zithers you smashed?â
the eleven-year-old princess said seriously, âitâs different this time! iâm serious! i want to play such a good tune too!â
moreover, she wanted to form her own music team!
it was not only the young princess of the western jin who wanted to learn the zither. almost everyone present was suddenly interested in music. they had to find a zither shop later and buy one back.
âi can play a little erhu.â
âi play the suona. lord lin knows how to play the zither.â
âanother day?â
âsure.â
the ministers decided happily.
the princess of western jin said, âi announce that the winner of the two of you isââ
âhiding it!â the princess of northern yan stood up and said indignantly, âthis is unfair! sheâs not a player! she even hired help!â
princess hui an was smart for a moment. âhmph! you didnât specify that it was a solo at that time!â
princess northern yan choked.
that⦠was right, but she was challenging her. according to the rules, she was a soloist!
the princess of western jin said, âthe first half of qin suâs competition with you has ended.â
everyone agreed. thatâs right. the first half of the song was a solo. at that time, su xiaoxiaoâs zither skills had already completely defeated zhao kangningâs.
the second half of the song had nothing to do with the competition anymore. it was a mutual appreciation between companions, a resonance of their souls, mutual help, and a vocal feast for everyone present.
just this structure alone was a few streets ahead of zhao kangning.
âbesides,â the princess of the western jin glanced at a certain guard who had put down the erhu and silently returned behind her. she said to the princess of northern yan, âother than the zither immortal, moxie has never played with anyone else. your zither music did not resonate with him. itâs because your strength is insufficient!â
the princess of the western jin dynasty did not give the princess of northern yan any respect.
thinking about it, it made sense. they were both princesses, but the two of them were not on the same level. the princess of northern yan could only be a minister who assisted the emperor in the future, but the princess of western jin was qualified to fight for the throne.
not to mention that there was an obvious difference in strength between the two countries.
the princess of northern yan dared to question the fairness and authority of the princess of the western jin. did she think she was made of paper?
this outcome was beyond everyoneâs expectations. the daughters never expected su xiaoxiaoâs zither skills to be so superb.
âhow⦠how much more ability is she hidingâ¦â lu ying was almost stunned, okay?
lu hui was also stunned. âin the beginning, who was the one who laughed at her for being ignorant and incompetent⦠if sheâs ignorant and incompetent⦠wonât we all be idiots?â
princess hui an accepted it. her sidekick was amazing!
she looked at princess jingning, who had returned to her side. âahem, you⦠you werenât bad just now. you were just a little worse than my sidekick!â
princess jingning knew that she had performed very well. under the lead of su xiaoxiao and su xuan, her zither skills had entered a new realm.
wei ting chuckled softly. this girl⦠really surprised people all the time⦠how much more did he not knowâ¦
since su xiaoxiao had won, it was time to settle the bet.
the old marquis patted his forehead and said, âaiya, did the princess of
northern yan forget to let us hedge in the bet just now?â
qin canglan said, âthatâs right! but it doesnât seem to matter. anyway, she canât win!â
everyone couldnât help but laugh.
zhao kangning was proud and conceited. she said that it was fine if su xiaoxiao didnât bet, but she had bet on helian yeâs life.
how much did she look down on her?
in fact, if not for the fact that su xiaoxiao had an alternate-world soul living in her bones, she would probably have been crushed by zhao kangning.
after all, other than nalan yun, no one had defeated zhao kangning before.
su xiaoxiao returned the zither to princess jingning and thanked her. she wanted to sit back in the great zhou, but the young princess of western jin was like a jumping bird, flapping her wings at her.
she walked over and sat down.
princess hui an stomped her left foot in anger!
su xuan sat down beside the old marquis.
only he and his brother were among the few young masters of the su family.
the old marquis looked at helian ye with a smile. âif youâre willing to bet, admit defeat. isnât it time to hand over general helianâs life?â helian ye said coldly, âthen letâs see if you have the ability to take it!â the old marquis clicked his tongue. âyou are backing out, right?â
qin canglan looked at him disdainfully. âhe canât afford to lose!â
helian ye was speechless.
helian ye glanced at wei ting opposite him and suppressed his anger. âwhen you fall into my hands one day, i can spare your lives!â
he was talking about them, not him. in other words, how many could he spare? su xiaoxiao and wei ting had profited.
su xiaoxiao smiled faintly. âwhat if you fall into our hands? wouldnât we have suffered a loss?â
this girl really dared to say it!
that was helian ye, the abnormal expert who killed lord wu an!
su xiaoxiao said, âi donât want such a fake promise. itâs more like coaxing a child. â
the young princess of the western jin counted on her fingers. she was no longer a child. she was eleven years old. she was not easy to coax.
the princess of northern yan said angrily, âdo you really want my uncleâs life?â
su xiaoxiao said frankly, âi really want it. otherwise, why would i play the zither with you?â
the princess of northern yan was so angry that she could not speak.
helian ye could tell that this girl had absolute confidence in winning from the beginning, but she also understood that the bet between the two would not kill him.
she was planning something else.
he asked coldly, âgirl, what exactly do you want?â
