Volume 1 Chapter 70 Sparkling Brightly
Li Xiuzhen listened and only smiled faintly, turning to look at the distant sunset with his hands behind his back. A gentle breeze blew by, and several osmanthus flowers fell from above, all landing at his feet. Han Caixia's smile had not yet faded when she saw a few osmanthus flowers floating down onto her hem. She picked one up and smelled it, the fragrance intoxicating and touching her heart. The corners of her mouth curved into an arc, and for a long time, she hadn't simply sat there appreciating the beauty of the sunset like this.
The pace of modern life is too fast, always struggling for survival, every busy day has no time to appreciate those beautiful things, using today's savings to squander tomorrow, until finally don't know what they are after, living like this for over 30 years, material wealth accumulated, spiritual poverty, ending up with nothing accomplished.
Now, having traveled through time and space to this tranquil afternoon, sitting here watching the sunset, it's as if she's in a wonderful dream. Beside her stands a maid who seems both familiar and strange, with a humble status like that of a minor concubine, yet she has such a large courtyard to manage, and an excellent ancient king to care for and pamper her. Just thinking about it, she feels that life is already fulfilling, just in this moment alone, she feels that traveling through time might truly be wonderful.
Of course, when people see good things, their thoughts are also very beautiful, but usually a spoiler will appear.
"Han Caiwei, I've heard that you're proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I haven't had the chance to hear you play before, but on a beautiful evening like this, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it. Why don't you play a piece for me?"
She was shocked, play the piano? What kind of piano can she play? Where did she learn to play the piano? It's better to ask her to perform a cow dissection! Just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Xiuzhen wave his hand: "Shuang'er, go get your young lady's zither!"
Han Caiwei was stunned, this 'Han Caiwei' even has a special guqin? That's a professional-level player! If it were guqin she would be completely clueless, but if it were guzheng she could still manage to strum and pluck a few notes in front of her. As soon as she got nervous, her palms started sweating, and she silently cursed herself, not knowing what she was getting nervous about!
Shuang'er received the distressed gaze of her young mistress and hastily said, "Your Highness, since Miss has lost her memory, she hasn't touched the zither again. Presumably, Miss doesn't remember either? Otherwise..."
"Forgetting is just losing memories, how can one also forget the skills they've had since childhood? Or perhaps you're being considerate of your family's young lady and don't want her to play the piano for me?" Li Xiuzhen's eyes seemed to smile yet not smile, still flowing with a thread of cold intent mixed with an unrefusable majesty.
Shuang Er didn't dare say another word and could only purse her lips and stare at Han Caiwei.
Li Xiuzhen was standing far away, but Han Caixia could see the expression in his eyes clearly. She immediately pulled on Shuang'er's sleeve and asked in a low voice while Shuang'er lowered her head: "Shuang'er, what instrument did I play before, the guqin or the guzheng?"
Shuang'er pouted: "Miss, it's a zither."
Han Caiwei nodded and then raised her eyes to look at Li Xiuzhen with a faint smile: "Shuang'er, let's go get it according to the king's words." She should still be able to control Guzheng, right? If it were Guqin, she would definitely be dead.
The guzheng was brought over, with a very classical and beautiful design, adorned with pink tassels. Han Caixi seriously tried out the sound quality, seemingly quite good, but in fact she couldn't tell either.
She glanced at Li Xiuzhen, then looked at Shuang'er and the others beside her, before starting to pluck the strings of the zither, singing as she played.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little stars, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky..."
The song ended, and everyone was petrified.
