Such a beautiful woman was going to marry Feng Cang! This was something that Shangguan Wuji could not accept.
Speaking of which, the Shangguan Family and the Feng Family of North Zhou had a blood feud.
15 years ago, Xiqi State and Beizhou State fought at the Yandang Mountain on the border of the two states. Although the Beizhou State was defeated in the end, the truth was that 400,000 of Xiqi State's soldiers were killed by the Beizhou Army. Many of the Shangguan Family's sons were killed or injured, including Shangguan Wuji's grandfather and several uncles.
Since young, Shangguan Wuji's dream had been to become a general and lead the Xiqi army to attack North Zhou and avenge the fallen heroes of the Shangguan Family. But before this dream could come true, she had to leave.
In just a few days, Murong Qiqi had become a sacrifice for political power. She was going to marry North Zhou and Feng Cang. How could Shangguan Wuji accept this? After all, this was the first time he had fallen in love with a woman.
Furthermore, it was Murong Tai who had rescued the West Qi army. It was precisely because Murong Tai's reinforcements had arrived in time that Feng Xie had been defeated and Princess Ming Yue had committed suicide to accompany her husband. Murong Tai was Feng Cang's enemy who had killed his parents, so how could Feng Cang treat Murong Qiqi well?
Shangguan Wuji's expression was ugly. Li Yunqing's expression was not any better. He had promised to protect Murong Qiqi. Now, she had become someone else's pawn and he could not change this outcome. He hated it.
Murong Qiqi's smile was as gentle as ever, but there was a hint of toughness in it that made Li Yunqing's heart ache even more. If he had been one step earlier, things would not have turned out this way.
The atmosphere on the ship became even gloomier. Seeing this, Murong Xinlian immediately asked the musicians to play and the dancers to dance. She wanted to ease the atmosphere a little. However, the song that was played was "Laughing at the World of Mortals". Those who knew the origin of this song felt even more emotional.
"Hearing this song again reminds me of that day." Bai Mufei was the only one in the group who was calm. "I'm afraid I won't be able to hear such a good song again."
Bai Mu Fei unconsciously sighed in his heart but was caught by Murong Xin Lian, "Third sister, today is a good day, why don't you compose another song! Just like what Master Bai said, I will marry far away. The mountains are high and the roads are far. I won't be able to hear your voice anymore … "
Murong Xinlian's attitude was extremely sincere and her expression was on point. She seemed to be very worried about Murong Qiqi's situation after marrying to North Zhou. After all, it was a fact that King Nan Lin killed the eighth madam. It was still a question whether Murong Qiqi could survive her wedding night. Moreover, Feng Family and Xiqi had such a historical relationship …
If not for the fact that she was familiar with Murong Xinlian's personality, Murong Qiqi felt that she would have been bewitched by her acting skills.
Because of Murong Xinlian's words, the atmosphere on the ship became even gloomier. Even Duanmu Yiyi, who had mocked Murong Qiqi earlier, felt a trace of pity for Murong Qiqi. After all, Murong Qiqi's life was much more bitter than hers!
The only ones who did not change were Long Zhe Yu 'er and Murong Qinglian. The mocking smiles on their faces revealed their inner feelings. They could not wait for Murong Qiqi to die as soon as possible.
"I'll do as you say!" Although she did not know what Murong Xinlian was planning, Murong Qiqi still stood up graciously.
Murong Xinlian had already guessed that Murong Qiqi would definitely not reject such a scene. Seeing Murong Qiqi walk into her trap, a trace of happiness flashed across Murong Xinlian's eyes. She then got someone to prepare the musical instruments.
When Yue Ji came up and said that the Liu Qin that Murong Xinlian wanted was not there, Murong Xinlian pretended to be angry. "What? There's no Liu Qin? Why didn't you prepare a Liu Qin? The Sunshine Princess only knows how to play the Liu Qin. She doesn't know any other instruments. How did you do it! "
Murong Xinlian's voice was very loud. Hearing her words, Long Zhe Yu 'er burst into laughter. "Sister Xinlian, don't blame them! Why would there be a Liu Qin on Imperial Brother's ship? Only lowly geishas would use a Liu Qin. This is His Highness's ship, not a commoner's ship … "
With the two of them echoing each other, Murong Qiqi finally understood Murong Xinlian's meaning.
The Liu Qin was an instrument that could not be shown in public. In front of these members of the royal family, it was a shameful object. In name, she was talking about the Liu Qin, but in reality, she was belittling Murong Qiqi.
Long Zhe Jingtian had been quietly watching Murong Qiqi. This girl had given him too many emotions today. Long Zhe Yu 'er's domineering attitude was well-known in the capital. She actually dared to use the Sunshine Princess to intimidate the Sunshine Princess. This little girl was really bold.
Now, seeing Murong Xinlian make things difficult for Murong Qiqi, Long Zhe Jingtian continued to watch from the side. He wanted to see how Murong Qiqi would resolve this awkwardness.
Women! Give them a bit of sunlight and they will shine, give them a bit of rain and they will flood …
Murong Qiqi had no interest in these nasty games that girls played. However, it was not in her character to allow herself to be toyed with like this. She walked in front of Yue Ji and took the guqin in front of her. "Let me borrow it for a while!"
Murong Qiqi brought the guqin to the bow of the ship and sat down with one leg hooked on the railing. She placed the guqin flat and adjusted the strings.
"Didn't you not know how to …" Murong Xinlian saw that Murong Qiqi seemed to know how to play, and her heart suddenly beat faster. Could it be that she had made a fool of herself again today?
"Looks like I'll have to disappoint you again." Murong Qiqi mocked. Her fingers plucked on the guqin, and the song "The Ocean's Laugh" was played.
"The ocean's laugh The surging tides of the two shores float and sink With the waves Remembering today's heavens laugh One after another The tides of the world Heaven knows who wins and who loses Laughing at the misty rain The distant waves wash away the mortal world How many beauties Laughing in the cool breeze Actually provoke loneliness And lofty sentiments Laughing in the evening The laughter of the common people is no longer lonely and lofty sentiments are still laughing foolishly …"
The breeze was gentle, and Murong Qiqi's black hair was tied at her waist with a white hairband. As the wind blew, a few strands of hair fell in front of her forehead, swaying with the wind. She looked indescribably elegant and carefree.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and Murong Qiqi's white dress was blown up. Her voice also rose at this moment, as if she was going to fly away with the wind. It made people want to reach out and grab her, but they couldn't find her.
Why? Long Zhe Jingtian held the jade cup in his hand tightly. Why was there a voice in his heart shouting for her to stay! She belongs to you! You'll regret letting her go! Why is it like this?
