Chapter 167: Overturning Phoenixes and Toppling Dragons
King Zhou summoned his ministers, while Daji hid behind the bead curtain, her enchanting figure reclining sideways on a soft couch.
She saw Bo Yikao’s elegant demeanor, his striking eyes and brows, his red lips and white teeth, and even his way of speaking was gentle and delicate, which teased her heart into an itch.
In this world, there are many types of men that women fancy.
There are those who are mighty and majestic, those unmatched in loyalty, those who are wealthy and imposing, and then there is someone like Bo Yikao, who is merely handsome.
Although it might not be entirely appropriate, purely in terms of appearance and demeanor, Bo Yikao could be considered one of the high-quality handsome men in the Divine Enthronement world.
She commanded the palace attendants on both sides to raise the bead curtain before her, hooking it with a golden clasp to closely observe Bo Yikao.
King Zhou saw this and laughed, saying, "My beloved, today the son of Marquis Xibo, Bo Yikao, has come to pay tribute to redeem his father. His sincerity is worthy of compassion."
Daji gave a gentle smile, adjusted her posture, and said, "Though I am a woman, even in my secluded upbringing I have heard from my parents of Bo Yikao of Xiqi. He is well-versed in musical arts, especially skilled in the guqin, and a deep connoisseur of classical melodies. Your Majesty, would it be possible for Bo Yikao to play a piece for us to enhance our drinking pleasure?"
Being a man enslaved to wine and women, King Zhou, long beguiled by demon qi, upon hearing these words, commanded Bo Yikao to pay respects to Daji.
After Bo Yikao completed his obeisance, Daji said, "Bo Yikao, I have heard of your excellence in guqin. How about you try playing a piece here in the hall?"
