Phoenix Returns - C68

At this moment, everyone in the hall had their eyes on Sikong Qianqi. The zither belonged to the grand imperial concubine, so she could give it to whoever she wanted.

Sikong Qiqi was the princess of Dazhou City, but she was not qualified to be in charge of this place.

The grand imperial concubine said angrily, “Who are you? “Anyone who dares to make a ruckus in front of me will not be welcomed at my birthday banquet. Anyone so disrespectful as her will be invited to leave.”

Sikong Qianqi was intimidated by this desolate voice. She wanted to defend herself when she heard Xue Wuhen reporting: “Reporting to Royal Grandmother, this is the Seventh Princess of Dazhong Country, Sikong Qianqi. She is here today to congratulate Royal Grandmother on her birthday.”

“Since you are a princess, why don’t you even have this little sense of propriety? Could it be that this is how Big Cang teaches his heirs, and he is now disrespectful to them? ”

“I… “You …” Sikong Qianqi’s fingers had been pinched into his palm, his face was pale and extremely ugly to behold.

The great hall sank into silence. The grand imperial concubine stared at Sikong Qianqi with a pair of fierce eyes. Sikong Qianqi stared at the nightingale unwillingly.

She really liked that guqin. The moment she took it out, she thought of how she could ask for it from the grand imperial concubine.

He just didn’t think that this guqin would be used as a reward for the lead representative of the Zither Festival. He said those words in a moment of haste.

No matter how powerful Big Cang was, above all the officials, he had no choice but to investigate the crime of defying the grand imperial concubine. How could the imperial concubine easily allow her to act presumptuously here?

“Mufei doesn’t need to be angry. Young people are prone to get agitated at times, so there’s no need to be angry and ruin their bodies over small matters.” Xue Feiyang, who was silent at the side, suddenly spoke out, explaining to the grand imperial concubine. He glanced at Sikong Qiqi, whose face had turned pale, and continued, “The princess came all the way here as a guest, although it was a little reckless, the imperial concubine and I will not blame you. But the princess must also know when to advance and when to retreat.

After saying that, Xue Wuhen ran over to the grand imperial concubine’s side and whispered a few words into her ear. He glanced at Chu Shiyu, then slowly calmed himself down.

“Royal Grandmother said that she is tired and would like to take a nap. Please do as you please and continue the Zither Faction after noon.”

Xue Wuhen held onto Grand Concubine’s arm and slowly stood up. He saw the Grand Concubine beckoning for Master Chu to come over to his side.

Seeing this, Master Chu walked over to follow the grand concubine towards the rear courtyard of the hall. The Grand Imperial Concubine was too overbearing towards her. She originally wanted to hide herself, but the Grand Concubine couldn’t wait to reveal a flaw.

When they looked at the stiff expression on Imperial Advisor Tian Chen’s face and the killing intent on his face, they felt a wave of cold air sweep past them from behind, knowing that this disaster had finally been laid waste.

“This subject [1] respectfully sends the grand imperial concubine off …”

The group of officials respectfully sent him off, only to see Sikong Qiqi stomping her feet in anger while Tian Chen threw her a look of contempt.

“Seventh Princess, what’s the point in doing this? What did a nightingale count for? “Why do you have to focus on these useless things?” Tian Chen poured a cup of wine into his mouth and calmly sat on the spot.

After Sikong Qianqi heard this, she calmed down, withdrew her princess temper and sat down obediently.

Originally, she was too reckless in making this birthday banquet look so awkward. Everyone knew that Xue Wuhen was a well-known filial son. If they wanted his heart, they would first have to curry favor with the grand imperial concubine.

However, Sikong Qianqi was still worried about her upbringing and how arrogant she was. She would always act like a princess wherever she went and would never realize the reality.

Chu Shiyu accompanied the grand concubine to the back of the round flower. Only in a place where no one was around, did he see the grand concubine hold her hand and say excitedly!

“I already understand Lady Luo Qing’s zither arts, but I still want to ask, where is Lady Luo Qing’s master?”

“Is Grand Concubine asking about the master who bestowed the zither skill upon me? My benefactor is old mister Zhang Xian Chong, and I wonder if the Grand Concubine knows him. ” Chu Shiyu said with a smile.

The Grand Concubine was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the Nightmare Zither Technique that she used to display her reverence for Qin Wentian should not be able to do so.

Although Zhang Xian Chong was the famous Zither Master of Nine Nether, and his zither skills could be considered to be at the pinnacle, but compared to the Nightmare Tactic, he was definitely not the same person.

“But yours …”

The Grand Concubine wanted to ask how she understood the Nightmare Tactic, but when Master Chu lightly tugged at her lapel, she immediately opened her mouth!

“My father was once a friend of old Mr. Zhang. Once, he was favored by old mister. He was given the ability to play the zither for a period of time. Afterwards, he had to self-study.”

“Oh ~”

Xue Wuhen had also discovered that behind them, a little maid was sneakily following them and listening in on their conversation. Only then did he realize that Chu Shiyu had purposely kept his mouth shut.

Xue Wuhen interrupted the two people and said, “Royal Grandmother, you should go back to your room to rest. The wind is cold here and it will freeze.”

The Grand Concubine caressed the back of Xue Wuhen’s hand in a gratified manner, and then gripped Master Chu’s hand tightly to follow by her side.

“I like you, child. You’ll accompany my old woman in the future. When you’re old, you’ll fear loneliness. Even when you sleep, you’ll want someone by your side to accompany you in the future.”

“Mm ~ Luo Qing knows.”

After helping the grand concubine into the bedroom and sending the maids out, the grand concubine pulled Master Chu in front of her.

“Child ~ You are …” Are you the descendant of Xiahou Yu Qing? I’ve finally waited for you to come. ”

Chu Shiyu was astonished. She was not Xiahou Yuqing’s successor at all. She had never even seen him in person.

But he was also afraid that the old imperial concubine would be disappointed if he told her the truth. He didn’t want to say it, but he also didn’t know what she wanted to do.

“Grand Imperial Concubine, I am not the descendant of old mister Xiahou Yu.”

“Then… Then how did you learn the Nightmare Mantra? Didn’t he give it to you? ”

Master Chu said, “Speaking of the Nightmare Zither Technique, it was a book of Zither Techniques left behind by a good friend of Master’s. Luo Qing was fortunate enough to see it from Master’s place, so he learned it. Luo Qing thought, that friend of mine should be the old mister Xia Hou, Yu Qing that you mentioned, right? ”

“Then your benefactor is …”

“A benefactor’s whereabouts are uncertain. People call him the idle wanderer Wuya.”

The Grand Concubine was astonished. Speaking of old man Wuya reminded her of the past.

In the past, she had roamed the martial arts world and met Xiahou Yu and Wuya there. The two of them were both young men who had once lived a life of debauchery.

The two of them traveled through the martial world. After meeting the young imperial concubine in the South Sea, they had gotten to know each other.

As for the grand imperial concubine herself, she was born of a noble family of Xue Lan, and her family was prominent. She was the princess of Xue Lan Ling Xing.

It was supposed to be a beautiful marriage, but under the pressure of the family, the princess chose to leave it to Xiahou Yu Qing and marry into the royal family.

When he bid farewell to Xiahou Qing with tears in his eyes, he voluntarily gave his body to Xiahou Qing. From then on, the two of them never saw each other again.

At that time, Xiahou Yu Qing had given Princess Ling Xing the nightingale guqin. That was, when the princess was in trouble, she would help them, whether it was thousands of miles or even thousands of miles.
