Chapter 16 Banquet (3) Swollen Face
Spring sunlight was just perfect.
The courtyard scenery of the Minister Mansion was beautifully picturesque.
Ye Qichi and Qin Mengxi both took their seats beside the Jade Zither.
All eyes on the scene were fixed on them, each harboring their own thoughts.
Ye Qichi gave Qin Mengxi a look.
Qin Mengxi nodded.
She leaned over to play the zither, and the exquisite zither music flowed from her fingertips, bright, crisp, and reserved, like a gentle stream in a mountain brook, splashing beautiful and forthright droplets, the mesmerizing notes creating an immersive experience.
It was incomparable to Ye Zhilan's previous zither performance. Though Ye Zhilan's technique was good, it lacked the emotional support, and by such contrast, it naturally faded in comparison.
In the moment when everyone was captivated by Qin Mengxi's zither music.
Suddenly, an ethereal sound joined the sweet melody, as if riding the wind amidst the colorful clouds, deep, serene, and smooth. Just when one thought the zither music was already flawless, this sudden addition enriched the melody even more, like the ringing of bells and chimes, their echoes lingering, reaching the heavens.
At that moment, Ye Qichi began singing the verses of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix," her melodious, soft voice blending with the zither music, captivatingly smooth.
