Yun Sheng looked around, and her eyes finally fell on a guqin of the court musician.
Her voice was loud and clear. "Yun Sheng should perform at the Queen's birthday banquet, so I will play a song."
She got up and left the table. Under Divine Wind's worried gaze, she walked to the front seat and sat down.
Divine Wind's face was a little surprised.
He didn't know that Yun Sheng knew how to play the guqin.
At least, Yun Sheng had never played in front of him.
After Yun Sheng sat down, her head was still under the influence of the wine and she was a little dizzy.
Just now, she didn't know what was going on, but a wave of anger rushed from the bottom of her heart to her head. The words she said and the steps she took seemed to be out of control. When she realized what she had said, she was already in front of a guqin.
She knew how to play the guqin?
Maybe, maybe, probably.
Yun Sheng muttered in her heart.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was already impossible for her to get away.
The guqin was in front, but where was the song?
Yun Sheng had stayed in the Elf Royal Court for a long time and had heard countless elven songs, but she didn't like them.
Her fingers casually plucked the strings a few times, and there was a burst of buzzing noise, which had no beauty to speak of.
"Nonsense," Huo Yaoyao said sarcastically.
Yun Sheng played a few more times, but it was still messy and silent.
On the throne, the Elf Queen's face was covered with a layer of frost. She was just about to stop Yun Sheng's random actions.
Under Yun Sheng's hand, the sound of the guqin changed, and only the sound of the strings vibrated like a dragon's roar.
At her fingertips, a zither melody flowed like water.
The sound of the guqin was very smooth. It rose and fell, sometimes like the moonlight in a quiet night, slowly pouring down on the ground, sometimes like the spring rain, moistening people's hearts, and sometimes, the sound of the guqin rose and fell, like the river flowing into the sea.
A song, however, was like a person's life, from the beginning to the climax and then to the trough.
Even the most picky elven musicians felt that this song was impeccable after listening to it.
The elven nobles and elven ministers were all intoxicated as they listened.
It was a piece of music with an extraordinary artistic conception. When the soldiers heard it, they felt their blood surging. When the peace-loving people heard it, their hearts were at peace.
At the end of the song, Yun Sheng's fingers pressed on the strings.
"Good! What a great song. "Even the Elven Queen couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
"Is it really a good song? What kind of music is this? Why haven't I heard of it before? "Even Huo Yu was impressed.
Huo Yaoyao clenched her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.
But Divine Wind's smile was somewhat forced. He looked at Yun Sheng, watching her blankly lower her head and look at her own hand.
Divine Wind remembered that when Yun Sheng was rescued, she was wearing a ring, a magic scepter, and a zither.
She really did know how to play the zither, and her zither skills were probably very good.
Perhaps her memory of playing the zither had already disappeared, but her fingers and her body still remembered.
Could it be that she remembered something because of this zither song?
Divine Wind was scared witless. He was even more angry at Huo Yaoyao's provocation. If it weren't for her incessant provocation, how could Yun Sheng remember these things?
"Your Majesty, Yun Sheng isn't feeling well, so I'll take my leave first." Yun Sheng bowed slightly, then glanced at Divine Wind before getting up and leaving.
Divine Wind saw that something was wrong with her and wanted to chase after her, but he was entangled by several elven nobles who came to toast and couldn't get away for a while.
Walking out of the lively birthday banquet, Yun Sheng strolled to the top of the Elven King Tree.
Under her feet were dense branches and leaves, and above her head was a sea of stars.
Yun Sheng raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. They were already cold.
She had cried just now. When she heard the zither music, she unconsciously cried.
It was as if she had forgotten something very important.
Yun Sheng walked aimlessly around the Elven King Tree. The birthday banquet was not over yet. Feeling a little tired, she walked back to her palace.
Tonight, the defense of her palace was also a little loose. Along the way, she didn't see many palace attendants. They must have gone to entertain the guests at the birthday banquet.
When Yun Sheng passed by the Elven Queen's study, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She let out a soft cry. Just now, she seemed to have heard something.
It seemed to be the sound of a zither?
At this time, why would there be zither music in the imperial study?
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Sheng looked around to make sure there was no one around, then quietly walked into the Elven Queen's imperial study.
There was no one in the study. Yun Sheng was wondering where the zither music was coming from.
Suddenly, she heard a low hum in her ears. She noticed that the zither music was coming from a zither hanging on the wall.
It was a unique zither made entirely out of ice.
When did the Queen collect such a zither?
Yun Sheng was suspicious. She thought about it again. She heard from Divine Wind that his father, the former Elven King's husband, was a court musician. Because he played a piece of zither, he met the Elven Queen.
Could it be that this zither was left behind by Divine Wind's father?
Yun Sheng's fingertips were just about to fall on the zither.
"What are you doing!" The Elven Queen was standing behind Yun Sheng.
Her eyes were cold. Yun Sheng's hand stopped in mid-air.
"This zither … When I passed by, I happened to hear the zither music. I was curious and walked in," Yun Sheng said indifferently.
The zither was still humming, intermittently. Listening to it in the middle of the night, it was like a woman crying in the dark.
The Elven Queen's expression changed slightly. This zither originally belonged to Yun Sheng.
When the thousand-year-old ice zither was sent over, the Elven Queen saw it and liked it very much. Divine Wind was also worried that Yun Sheng would arouse unnecessary thoughts, so he handed it over to the Elven Queen for safekeeping.
Hanging on the wall, the ice zither had always been used for appreciation.
Until tonight, when Yun Sheng played that piece of zither music, the ice zither started humming spontaneously.
As if it was predestined, perhaps the ice zither also didn't want to be hung in the study in name only.
The Elven Queen thought in her heart. She struggled for a moment, "The zither music you played tonight was very good. As a reward, this zither … I'll give it to you."
Although she knew that this zither might evoke some memories of Yun Sheng, the Elven Queen still decided to follow her heart.
Yun Sheng didn't expect that the Elven Queen, who had never been very friendly to her, would be so generous.
She really liked this zither. After thinking about it, Yun Sheng took the zither down.
As soon as her hand touched the zither, the low humming sound that was originally like a low hum disappeared.
The moment she touched the strings, Yun Sheng felt a strange feeling coming from the palm of her hand.
She quickly retracted her hand, and a blurry image appeared in her mind. That image quickly disappeared.
Yun Sheng thought that she was still drunk and dizzy. Before the Elven Queen went back on her words, she took the zither and left.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still hear the Di Hong Song in the Immortal Ju Country." Seeing that Yun Sheng was already far away with the zither, the Elven Queen muttered.
