The musicians were nearby. Earlier, Chu Zhihe had told one of them to play the most difficult song they knew. She was certain Yu Yunxi knew nothing and that Yu Yunxi would embarrass herself later. However, in order to show her kindness, she pretended to ask for Yu Yunxi’s opinion. In any case, she was certain a village girl could not even name a song.

Sure enough, just as Chu Zhihe expected, Yu Yunxi replied lightly, “I don’t know much about music. You can make the decision.”

“Since you said that, I’ll let the musicians decide,” Chu Zhihe said. Then, she waved her hand and said to the musicians, “Play whatever you want. My cousin and I will dance to your tune…”

With this, the ministers in the hall whispered among themselves.

“The Sixth Princess is going to start dancing…”

“I’ve heard people improvising poems, but I’ve never heard of someone dancing impromptu…”

“That’s right. Moreover, the palace musicians are very skilled. If the Sixth Princess isn’t good at dancing, she’ll…’

Someone sighed. “Don’t worry. The Sixth Princess is the Emperor’s daughter after all. Dancing is just a trivial matter to her…’

“That’s right. Don’t forget about how the Third Princess always amazes everyone with her dance during palace banquets. The Sixth Princess is naturally skilled as well. Moreover, the Sixth Princess has to be very confident, considering the fact that she asked the musicians to play whatever they want. Let’s not worry about nothing.”

“In comparison to the Sixth Princess, the Eldest Princess is in a worse situation. She kept saying she was not good at dancing, but she was still forced to dance…”

“Who asked her to be so incompetent? As the Eldest Princess, she can’t be without virtue and talent!”

The ministers’ voices were not loud, but Yu Yunxi, who practiced martial arts, could naturally hear them clearly.

At the same time, Meng Xia gnashed her teeth. If it was not for the fact that she was worried about implicating Yu Yunxi, she would have definitely cut off those people’s tongues. Their words were truly unpleasant.

Faced with the mocking gazes and words, Yu Yunxi remained calm and collected.

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to ask if they could start dancing, a cold voice suddenly said, “How can I not participate in such a lively scene?”

Everyone turned around and looked at Feng Yili, who was disguised as the King of Youshan, in shock.

Feng Yili slowly rose to his feet. All the light in the hall seemed to shine on him at this moment.

Yu Yunxi felt as though she could see the majestic aura of a sovereign on Feng

Yili at this moment. Her eyelids twitched as she thought to herself, ‘Am I crazy? He’s a crazy vassal king who likely has the ambition to usurp the throne, but I actually thought that he has the aura of a ruler…’

Chu Zai gritted his teeth and asked, “King of Youshan, what do you want to do now?”

Feng Yili replied unhurriedly, “Your Majesty, when I was in my fief, I enjoyed performances every night. It’s only natural that I want to participate in this…”

“Are you saying…” Chu Zai narrowed his eyes.

Feng Yili said, “I want to play zither for the two princesses.”

Although Yu Yunxi did not remember him, Feng Yili was determined to protect her in his own way. He would not allow her to get hurt at all.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhihe immediately rejected it. “No!”

Feng Yili turned around and stared at Chu Zhihe coldly as he asked, “Why, Sixth Princess? Do you think I’m unworthy of playing the zither for you?” Feng Yili’s gaze and tone were both sinister.

Chu Zhihe was unsurprisingly intimidated by Feng Yili. Her face paled immediately, and she replied tremblingly, “I-I… What I mean is that playing a tune for us is an insult to your status as the King of Youshan…”

“When the Sixth Princess took the initiative to volunteer to dance, you didn’t think it was an insult to your status. Why are you talking about status when I volunteered to play the music?” Feng Yili asked mockingly.

Chu Zhihe’s face flushed red. She knew her arrogance could not deter Feng Yili.

At this time, Chu Zai waved his hand impatiently and said, “Alright. Since the

King of Youshan volunteered to play the music, let him do it.”

As the King of Youshan, he had to play music for the guests just like a performer. If the King of Youshan wanted to embarrass himself, Chu Zai was naturally not going to stop him. Moreover, he could not wait to watch Yu Yunxi embarrass herself so he wanted them to start as soon as possible.

“Father!”

Chu Zhihe stomped her feet. She was very worried now that she would not know the tune that Feng Yili played.

A mother knew her daughter best. Consort Mu naturally knew what Chu Zhihe was worried about. However, there was nothing she could do but pray that Feng Yili’s song was not difficult and that Yu Yunxi’s dance was extremely bad, drawing everyone’s attention away from her daughter. Alas, she was destined to be disappointed.

After taking a seat, Feng Yili placed his fingers on the strings of the zither. Very quickly, the sound from the zither rang in the hall. The sound was crisp and clear, just like the sounds of a thousand soldiers and horses.

Yu Yunxi stared at the man who was silently playing the zither with a complicated expression on her face. Her emotions were hard to describe at this moment. In fact, the song she had hoped to hear earlier was precisely such a

majestic and valiant song. After all, the dress she was wearing now was truly not suitable for sentimental songs.

‘Is it a coincidence, or is he being deliberate?’

Seeing that Chu Zhihe had already begun to dance, Yu Yunxi could only suppress her emotions and dance as well.

Many people were originally waiting to see Yu Yunxi make a fool out of herself. However, unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, all the light in the hall seemed to shine on her alone. Her movements were light, but there seemed to be endless strength in her body. Her dance complemented the majestic tune from the zither perfectly.

Initially, Chu Zhihe could still keep up with the melody. However, when she discovered that everyone’s attention was on Yu Yunxi, she became enraged. She was distracted and did not listen to the tune carefully. As a result, in just a short time, she was unable to keep up with the tune. When she returned to her senses, she tried to save the situation, but it was too late; she made a mistake in the chaos. In the next moment, she let out a cry, fell to the ground, and sprained her ankle; looking miserable.

Not many noticed Chu Zhihe’s predicament because they were all focused on Yu Yunxi at this moment. They felt as though they were looking at a female general brandishing her weapon on the battlefield at this moment. They were shocked that she possessed such an aura.

Feng Yili looked at the beautiful figure in front of him with a complicated gaze. He sighed inwardly as he thought to himself, ‘It’s truly her. Only she alone has such an aura… How can I help you regain your memory?’

Meanwhile, Chu Zhihe, who had fallen to the ground, tried to get up, but her ankle hurt too badly. This made her even more furious, and she could only glare at Yu Yunxi venomously. Suddenly, she noticed a small tear in Yu Yunxi’s red dress, and her expression turned excited immediately..
