I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 326 There's a Time Traveler in the Palace (18)
Although these pieces are not original, but rather taken from the previous world.

But it was she who painstakingly wrote down the sheet music from memory!
However, Mo Chan also understood that now was not the time to refute.

There were several hundred people present. The Emperor's Love Potion was only in its early stages; it wasn't time for him to publicly obey her.

Moreover, she had just confidently claimed that she composed the music herself, only to be proven wrong in the blink of an eye. If she continues to argue, who knows what the other party will say?

Standing in the center of the arena, Mo Chan felt a sense of foreboding for the first time since arriving in this world.

She forced a smile and replied perfunctorily, "Your Highness is right. I may have been inspired by a tune I heard by chance a few days ago, which is why I composed these pieces."

Unexpectedly, she bumped into several of the older women.

Although Mo Chan's tone didn't sound like she was apologizing at all, it was still quite rare for her to back down.

The concubines couldn't help but admire Yu Muhuai immensely.

Yu Muhuai waved his hand generously, "It's alright, little sister. You used to live in a remote tribe. You're new here and don't know many things, so this misunderstanding is understandable. I don't blame you."

These words not only belittled Mo Chan's status but also implied that she was wrong.

This also demonstrates Yu Muhuai's magnanimity.

Killing three birds with one stone—cunning and treacherous!

Mo Chan clenched her jaw, trying her best to keep her face calm.

She held her breath for a moment, then seemed to remember something and said to Yu Muhuai, "Your Highness, I have heard that you are proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Now that we're having a musical competition, would you like to give it a try?"

Yu Muhuai gently touched his temples, his tone still as lazy as ever.

"Eunuch Guo already said that he needs to draw a wooden plaque to participate. Now that the rules have been set, do you expect me to break them myself?"

Mo Chan was determined to let Yu Muhuai perform. She turned to the Emperor and said in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, I'm sure you would also like to hear Consort Qin's performance."

"If we don't draw Consort Qin today, that would be a huge loss."

The emperor frowned as he watched the women in front of him exchanging pleasantries.

His first thought was that Mo Chan's performance was not good, and he wanted to scold her and tell her not to act recklessly.

But for some reason, there was always a voice in my heart telling me to be good to Mo Chan, to indulge her, and to try my best to meet her demands.

It was as if an invisible hand was constantly pulling him toward Mo Chan, making him increasingly biased.

After a brief internal struggle, the other hand quickly gained the upper hand.

Then everyone heard the Emperor speak in an unquestionable tone, "Consort Qin, you should go over there, so as to set an example for the other concubines."

Yu Muhuai raised an eyebrow and did not refuse. She bowed in the direction of the Emperor and replied, "Yes."

She then stood up and slowly walked to the guqin.

Huang Yanqin, who had been keeping his eyes slightly lowered, finally raised his head and silently gazed at his mother.

Qingyue and Qingmu stepped forward to help move the stool and arrange the clothes before Yu Muhuai sat down.

He had a very impressive air about him.

After taking her seat, she calmly plucked the strings, mimicking the person in front of her, as if tuning the instrument.

Knowing the competition rules beforehand, Yu Muhuai prepared a piece of music well in advance, just in case.

These past few days she's been practicing intensively in her room by herself, just to avoid any mishaps.

This was one of her favorite songs, and with Qian Zhaoyi's help, it was adapted into sheet music.

Swords and Dreams

This is a piece with a strong sense of the martial arts world.

As Yu Muhuai manipulated his hands, everyone seemed to see a scene of unbridled joy and sorrow, of drinking and singing wildly. It was a world of chivalry, righteousness, and unrestrained freedom.

Riding a horse across the vast desert, amidst the lone smoke rising from the sky, I drink with the setting sun over the long river.

His moves were powerful and majestic, and his figure soared through the sky!
A song of swords and blades startles like a dream, yet the love of women in the martial world remains unspoken.

"Coming in haste, leaving in haste, I regret that we could not meet again."

Love comes and goes quickly, hate comes and goes quickly, everything is gone with the wind.

"A wild laugh, a long sigh—a life of joy; a final lament—who will share life and death with me?"

In this era, it's quite normal for someone to write lyrics and sing along during instrumental performances.

Therefore, no one found it strange when Yu Muhuai sang and played the guitar himself.

It's just that word she used.
That's far too unrestrained, completely different from Consort Qin's usual image.

But it sounds good, it really sounds good!
Especially when paired with the unrestrained lyrics, it makes listeners' hearts restless.

What does the martial arts world look like? What does it look like to run and laugh wildly without restraint?
Confined within the palace walls, surrounded by high walls, they could only conjure up images in their minds through this piece of music.

After the music ended, Yu Muhuai stood up and bowed slightly to the Emperor.

The emperor, still immersed in the music, paused for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and began to clap.

"Yes, I like it very much."

Yu Muhuai dared to choose a song from her previous world because she was certain that her world and Mo Chan's world were completely different.

Because Yu Muhuai had never heard the tunes that Mo Chan played before.

Back in the day, she was a karaoke queen, singing all the new and old songs for twenty years. She believed that no good song could escape her ears.

And indeed, that proved to be true.

Seeing Mo Chan's somewhat bewildered expression, Yu Muhuai knew that his guess was correct; she indeed hadn't heard of it.

After that, Mo Chan didn't say anything, but returned to her seat dejectedly.

In order to make this competition she proposed as perfect as possible, Mo Chan only had time to prepare three pieces of music.

Now that all three songs have been performed, she has run out of ideas.

After Yu Muhuai returned to his seat, Eunuch Guo gestured to the Emperor before they resumed drawing wooden tablets.

However, the performance that followed almost repeated the previous rhythm, with many songs still being interrupted after only the beginning.

Only a handful of people played pieces that were truly refreshing.

"Qian Zhaoyi, what is the name of this piece of music?"

"Your Majesty, it is called 'Ambush from Ten Sides'."

"Ouyang Zhaoyuan, what is the name of this song?"

"Your Majesty, it is called 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'."

"Consort Xu, does the piece you played have a name?"

"Your Majesty, it is called 'Three Variations on Plum Blossom'."

These are all the most classic pieces of music in Yu Muhuai's world, and any one of them is simply amazing.

She couldn't just steal the spotlight herself; she wanted several other women to steal the spotlight as well, to dampen Mo Chan's arrogance.

Mo Chan had never heard these pieces before, but she could tell that if they were in her time, they would be considered national treasures.

That's all for today!
