Time Travel: The Noble Family

A girl beside them echoed Lu Yanfan’s statement, saying, "I heard that Miss Mu plays the zither exceptionally well. One playing the zither and the other using leaves to create music, this kind of contest is quite innovative."

Yueyao naturally would not yield now, as yielding at this point would truly be preposterous. Yueyao let Mu Qinglian go first this time, "Earlier it was my turn to ask, now it’s your turn, Miss Mu."

Yueyao’s words made Mu Qinglian feel like vomiting blood. In choosing topics for painting, Yueyao had taken all the advantages, but debating the Six Arts in sequence put them at a disadvantage. Yet Yueyao’s statement was said with such dignity that she couldn’t refuse.

Mu Qinglian played a tune called "Green Valley Flowing Spring."

After listening, Pin Lan exclaimed, "Cousin, you played wonderfully."

Yueyao also spoke in admiration, "Miss Mu’s zither skills are indeed extraordinary," her technique was skilled, and the craftsmanship was superb. Although Yueyao was not close to Mu Qinglian, she knew that reaching such a level at this age required not only talent but also hard work.

A girl dressed in a Glit Brocade robe beside Princess Wanhe, however, dissatisfiedly said, "Green Valley Flowing Spring" expresses the leisurely and carefree enjoyment of wandering through mountains and forests. Yet Miss Mu’s playing, though technically adept, lacks this leisurely emotion." This young girl was essentially saying that Mu Qinglian had not captured the essence of the song.

Princess Wanhe chided bluntly, "Nan Shuang, you have studied for only a few days and dare to speak nonsense here." This young girl was Princess Wanhe’s cousin.

The girl said plaintively, "I’m speaking the truth. When my teacher taught me the zither, he played it for me, and it was entirely different."

Princess Wanhe said with a smile, "Miss Mu, don’t mind how my cousin put it, she’s blunt, but she means no harm, do not take it to heart."
