Chapter 104: Competing In Guqin Skills
Translator: Paperplane
Chu Qingchuan was extremely jealous and loathed Liu Rushuang. What right did an average woman have to obtain two outstanding men’s love and affections?
She had to wipe the floor with Princess Changping of Nanli’s political marriage, here at this very royal banquet!
Whilst Chu Qingchuan thought it over, Chu Yitian wore a fake smile on his face and stood up. “I drink to your majesty of Beiming and wish your empire prosper for a thousand generations to come and never fall!” He exclaimed at Han Moze with a raised wine cup.
With a distant glow in Han Moze’s eyes, he flatly replied, “I don’t know about a thousand generations, but I’m still sitting in the royal seat, so Beiming will definitely never fall!”
Chu Yitian’s face tensed up. This Emperor of Beiming looks like someone who would be difficult to get along with!
He let out a snort. Regardless of how difficult he is to get along with now, let’s just wait and see how arrogant he is when one day, his empire is vanquished!
He raised his head and downed the strong wine in one go before sitting back down.
Chu Qingchuan’s heart felt even more restless. She loved men like him who were wise and dignified. She grabbed the wine and got on her feet. With a gentle voice, she looked over at Han Moze and said, “Qingchuan has admired the Emperor of Beiming for a long time. Today, I finally get to see with my own eyes, just how handsome beyond compare and impressive your majesty really is. Qingchuan can’t help but grow admiration in my heart for you. Please allow for me to express my inner feelings with a toast to your majesty.”
Liu Rushuang’s lips twitched unenthusiastically. Chu Qingchuan was clearly professing her love to Han Moze!
How was Han Moze going to respond?
Liu Rushuang sat quietly in the seat of honour, waiting for Han Moze’s reply, as though she was watching a good show.
Han Moze shot a cold glance at Liu Rushuang who looked like she was there to watch the show, and raised his cup at Chu Qingchuan. “I appreciate the princess’ feelings towards myself, but my heart belongs only to the Empress. I’m afraid that I cannot accept the princess’ feelings.”
When Chu Qingchuang heard those words, then averted her gaze to Liu Rushuang like cold daggers.
Liu Rushuang couldn’t help but let out a soft scoff. He didn’t want to marry Chu Qingchuan, so why blame it on her?
Han Moze smiled wickedly as he looked over at Liu Rushuang. Didn’t you want to watch a good show? Let’s see how you feel about being dragged down too.
As exprected, Chu Qingchuan pointed the spearhead right towards Liu Rushuang and gracefully asked, “So I see. I understands now. It looks like our Empress must have areas where she excels in. I would like to compare my Guqing skills to her majesty’s skills. I wonder if our Empress would kindly accept?”
Chu Qingchuan’s words shocked everyone in the hall.
Everyone knew that Chu Qingchuan’s Guqin skills were famous across various nations. It was said that she played so well and sounded so melodic that it could call upon little birds.
As for Liu Rushuang, many people only knew her as the idiot daughter of Nanli’s Minister Liu, so they didn’t look highly of her at all.
But that’s not what Li Xiangling thought. She just experienced Liu Rushuang’s Guqing skills yesterday and there was truly no way to describe just how truly melodic it was.
“From how I see it, if they’re competing in Guqin skills, then the Fifth Princess of Donghua would definitely win. Without a doubt!”
“I think so too!”
“I think the Empress must definitely be so afraid that she doesn’t dare compete!”
“The Empress doesn’t know how to play the Guqin right?”
…
Liu Rushuang’s inner breath skills were so profound, she could hear all the conversations in the hall. A cold smirk escaped the corner of her lips.
Today, I’ll teach you all that there are more talented people in the wider world!
They wanted to embarra.s.s her? Fat chance!
With that, Liu Rushuang smirked and said, “I accept your challenge.”
Chu Qingchuan had a look on her face, as though she was determined to win, then raised her wine cup. “Thank you, your majesty for accepting. I toast to the Empress,” she exclaimed respectfully.
“As you please!” Liu Rushuang coldly spat out just one word, then downed her wine.
