As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone gasped, and the entire venue fell silent right on the heels of that.

What did the girl say?

General Helian’s life?

She really dared to speak!

General Helian had killed so many members of the Wei family. As the wife of the Wei family, it was not too much for Su Xiaoxiao to take his life. The problem was that wanting was one thing, but saying it in public was another.

Just based on her words, even if she lost, it would be an honorable loss!

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her. “Princess Kangning is silent? Just now, you even shamelessly said that as long as I can say it, you can afford it. If I say it, give it to me.”

How was she going to give it to her?

That was her uncle’s life!

She would not be able to back down whichever option she took.

The Princess of Northern Yan, who had just taken advantage, completely lost her advantage and became inhumane.

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “If you can’t afford it, don’t spout nonsense lest you become a joke!”

The Princess of Northern Yan gritted her teeth.

Helian Ye suddenly said slowly, “Ning’er, are you confident in your zither skills?”

Princess Northern Yan said, “I am!”

These words were said anxiously and stunned everyone. It seemed that this was not what she said at the beginning.

“Competing in literature and martial arts makes it seem like I bullied you. Why don’t we play the zither since I’m not good at it?”

Those were her exact words!

It was too much of a slap in the face!

The Princess of Northern Yan also realized that she had said something wrong. She opened her mouth. “Uncle, I…”

Helian Ye said calmly, “Alright, stop talking. Uncle trusts you. There’s nothing Uncle can’t afford.”

The Prince of Northern Yan sighed. His uncle doted on his sister too much. However, with his sister’s zither skills, unless the Zither Immortal came personally, it was impossible for the other party to win.

The Princess of Northern Yan had absolute confidence in her zither skills. It was just that it would not be good if word got out that she was hedging with her uncle’s life.

Since her uncle supported her fully, she would take this opportunity to embarrass this girl!

She looked at the Princess of the Western Jin opposite and smiled humbly. “I heard that the Second Prince of the Western Jin is also proficient in music. Why don’t you and the Prince be the judge?”

Neither of them had any objections.

There were many types of zither. Su Xiaoxiao and the Princess of Northern Yan both chose the seven-string zither.

“Do you want to go first or should I go first?” The Princess Northern of Yan generously handed the choice to Su Xiaoxiao.

If there were many people competing, the first to go on stage would not have the advantage unless they were extraordinary in strength. However, the two of them would not be affected much.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care. The young Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty suggested drawing lots, and the Princess of Northern Yan drew first.

“Then, I’ll embarrass myself first.”

Although she said humbly, it was clear from her expression that she wanted to trample Su Xiaoxiao under her feet.

She asked someone to bring her zither.

Some palace musicians recognized that it was the most famous zither in

Northern Yan. It was called the Zheng Zhong Jiufeng (Middle Nine Phoenixes Zither). Other than Nalan Yun’s Jiufeng (Nine Phoenix Zither), it was the most coveted instrument by the zither masters.

“Go get my zither, ” Princess Jingning instructed Taozhi.

Her zither was given to her by the Empress Dowager and was a good instrument.

“Yes.” Taozhi accepted the order and left.

Up until this point, the Great Zhou still hoped that the Princess of Northern Yan might really not be good at the zither. After all, as a weak woman, it was already very heaven-defying for her to be a scholar who was skilled in martial arts. If she had unparalleled zither skills, would she still be human?

However, when the Princess of Northern Yan played the first scale, their hope was completely destroyed.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the melody that lingered was heavenly.

She was playing a famous song from Northern Yan. The first half of the song was cheerful, making one think of a pony galloping on the grassland. The second half of the song changed drastically, revealing a sad struggle and killing.

The audience had never heard Nalan Yun’s zither music. They only felt that compared to Princess Kangning’s music, it would be nothing special even if Nalan Zither Immortal came.

“She… plays… so well.”

Lu Ying said in a daze.

As the daughter of a concubine, she was not qualified to attend the banquet.

Lu Hui’s expression was solemn. “Miss Qin… is going to lose badly this time.”

“You’re shameless!” Princess Hui An was so angry that she almost stood up from the wheelchair. She pointed at Princess Kangning and said, “Didn’t you say that you’re not good at the zither? Then what are you playing? Is this called not good at it? I think you’ve been secretly practicing it for a long time! ”

She said what everyone was thinking.

The Princess of Northern Yan was really too despicable.

The Princess of Northern Yan smiled innocently. “I played a little better today. Usually, I don’t play much. Moreover, compared to my literary talent and martial arts, my zither skills are indeed not worth mentioning.”

A minister of Northern Yan smiled and said, “That’s right. Not only is Princess Kangning the scholar of Northern Yan, but she is also a martial artist!” In comparison, her zither skills were nothing.

Princess Hui An was so angry that she wanted to tear her apart!

Her sidekick was going to lose badly today. She had to think of a way to coax her sidekick. She seemed to have a box of Night Pearls in her room. She wondered if her sidekick liked it…

Emperor Jing Xuan couldn’t stand it anymore, but he had no choice but to sit here.

“Miss Qin, it’s your turn,” Princess Northern Yan said with a smile. “If you don’t have a zither, I can lend you mine.”

“Princess, the zither is here.” Tao Zhi carried the zither box in.

Princess Jingning nodded at Su Xiaoxiao.

No matter how well she played or how badly she lost, as the first person to openly seek Helian Ye’s life, in Princess Jingning’s heart, she had already won tonight.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled back.

Princess Hui An frowned. Why didn’t she smile at her?!

Taozhi placed the zither on the shelf. Su Xiaoxiao sat down, put on the finger pick, and casually dialed a few sounds.

The ministers of Northern Yan could not help but shake their heads and laugh.

Was this ability to play cotton worthy of competing with their princess?

Princess Hui An pouted. “Little sidekick…’

After Su Xiaoxiao adjusted her sitting posture, her fingertips gently landed on the strings.

The hall was noisy. It was obvious that they felt that their ears would be tortured next.

However, Su Xiaoxiao’s fingertips moved, and a tune that struck the depths of their souls came faintly. Everyone trembled!

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao came up, she played a shockingly fast rhythm. Everyone seemed to have been pulled into a fairyland from the dust and their scalps went numb!

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t stop.

When the Princess of Northern Yan played, everyone only thought of the horses on the grassland. However, Su Xiaoxiao’s music flashed across everyone’s eyes!

A man and a horse, a handful ofyellow sand!

A thousand troops and a thousand blades were nothing in his eyes!

The hero’s soul was buried, and the three-foot-long green peak stabilized the territory!

Life was fine, and so was death. The sky was bright at night, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.

Everyone had long entered a dream and no one knew where their souls had returned to.

The tune cycled, and everyone seemed to have entered reincarnation.

It was the fourth son of the Su family, Su Yuan!

Su Xuan was dressed in white and played the bamboo flute to close Su Xiaoxiao’s zither.

The general who was fighting alone finally found his companion.

There was no longer a need to bear it alone.

Princess Jingning was touched. “Bring the zither here!”

Taozhi carried a zither over from the musician. Princess Jingning also played the zither and closed the music between the two of them.

Everyone’s blood surged and they felt heroic!

Suddenly, a figure moved behind the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty. He took the Erhu from some musician and sat on the steps, pulling it up.

This was an unprecedented vocal feast.

At this moment, who still remembered Northern Yan? No one would remember what instrument Zhao Kangning had taken.

After the song ended, everyone burst into tears and could not recover for a long time.

Clap, clap, clap.

The Princess of the Western Jin clapped..
