Shengjing Noble

Su Lanxin strode onto the stage, and then took out the prepared music score and handed it to the pianist beside her, and asked: "Play it according to this. If you play well, I will reward you handsomely."

She smiled triumphantly, holding her chin high, looking very confident.

In Su Lanyin's opinion, this behavior was uncultured, frivolous and extremely disrespectful, but in Fu Mingheng's eyes it was frank and cute.

After all, in this era, very few women would do such an outrageous thing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually interacts with noble ladies from aristocratic families who are carefully selected by the Emperor and the Empress. They are all gentle, dignified, generous and steady, so it is normal for him to feel fresh for a moment.

Su Shengyun was a little worried, and hesitantly said in a low voice: "Yinyin, do you really want to fool around with her?"

Even if Su Yongcheng was just a minor official, the two daughters of the Su family should not have shown up in public to compete in singing in front of so many people.

If their father knew about this, he would probably punish them severely.

Moreover, Su Lanxin looks very confident, so there's no guarantee that she may have been studying very hard in private.

Lan Yin is busy practicing martial arts every day and has never sung any songs. If she loses, won’t she lose both face and dignity?

He is the older brother and must protect his sister.

Su Lanyin obviously saw his concerns, smiled and asked: "Third brother, do you believe me?"

"Believe! Of course I believe you, but..."

He was interrupted before he could finish the rest.

"Just trust me, don't worry, I won't lose."

Su Lanyin smiled at him confidently, calm and reserved, with a sense of indifference throughout her body, neither proud nor nervous.

She seemed to be enjoying it? There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Su Shengyun hesitated. He clenched his fists and thought of Su Lanxin's arrogant face just now, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

Yes, his sister cannot back down, otherwise she will always be suppressed.

He is the elder brother, how could he not believe that she has the ability?

Even if we lose, he is still here. As long as he is here, Yinyin will not be harmed in any way.

Thinking of this, he touched Su Lanyin's hair lovingly, smiling gently: "Okay, I support you. No matter what the result of the competition is later, Third Brother will protect you."

Su Lanyin's eyes flashed with emotion, and she nodded heavily: "I won't let Third Brother down."

As the brother and sister were talking, a cheerful melody sounded on the stage. The tune was rare and a style that none of them had ever heard of before.

Su Lanxin stood on the stage, swaying her body gently, twisting her body to the rhythm from time to time, looking charming and playful.

"Holding an umbrella to catch the falling flowers, looking at the west wind riding a skinny horse, who can see through the flowing clouds for me, sir, is it you..."

"Whose house is this in the deep mountains ahead? I am playing a piece of pipa music at night. I want to pick up my pen and draw a picture for you. Please accept it, my beautiful lady..."

As soon as the lyrics came out, they made people feel frivolous, but seeing how she was enjoying herself and immersed in them, everyone had no choice but to continue listening.

Because the melody is so simple, it is easy to remember once it enters the mind, so after singing the first paragraph, some people couldn't help but hum along with the tune, as if they were brainwashed.

Su Lanyin frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of the previous life, when Su Lanxin sang many songs of this type. She was not favored at first, but she could not resist the support of the prince behind her.

Soon, this monotonous and catchy song became popular in the streets and alleys.

Su Lanxin became extremely popular for a while and became a talented woman praised by everyone in Sheng Dynasty.

Even the queen praised her for her intelligence and cleverness, and said that she was the best poet in the world.

Of course, there were many people who had doubts, but the loudest voices were suppressed by the prince's power.

In her previous life, the Crown Princess once criticized Su Lanxin for singing songs that were too monotonous, some of which were even like children's songs.

Finally, he accidentally swallowed poison and became mute. He finally died of depression in the backyard of the prince's mansion.

After her death, Su Lanxin became the Crown Princess.

Looking at the woman on the stage spreading her feathers like a peacock, Su Lanyin's mouth curled up slightly.

A good show has finally begun.

"I look at the prosperity of the long street by the light of a lantern. An old man with a white beard is copying a painting. A few pleasantries echo the flawless moonlight. Suddenly, a breeze stirs up a pool of fallen flowers."

"In the midsummer, I am with my close friends. The night market is so busy that I don't want to go home. The stars shine on the branches of the old trees, and the horse's hooves are covered with dust..."

After the song ended, Su Lanxin stood on the stage and happily accepted the applause and cheers from the crowd.

Su Lanyin knew them, and a large number of them were the prince's staff.

Some people appreciate it, and naturally some people don't like it.

After all, those present today are all talented and learned scholars from Shengjing. Who could fail to hear the casualness and exaggeration of this tune?

One of them couldn't help but say: "Although the style of this song is catchy, it is a bit too rough."

What he said was very pertinent and did not wrongly accuse Su Lanxin.

After all, the songs and poems since ancient times have been repeatedly pondered and refined by many composers. Some of them are like the sound of mountains and flowing water, which makes people feel vast and liberated after listening to them, and some are like the love between young men and women, which makes people feel moved to tears after listening to them.

No matter what kind of song it is, it can be regarded as a classic only if it is full of connotation.

But what is Su Lanxin’s song…?

Children's song?

It would be nice for ordinary people to listen to it leisurely, but today is an occasion for great scholars to compete and discuss literature. She took this thing out, which is tantamount to putting a plate of peanuts at a state banquet.

Unfortunately, as soon as the talented scholar finished speaking, the prince's men attacked him.

"If you are so good at talking, why don't you go and compare it yourself? Miss Su's song is eye-catching and can be called a masterpiece."

"Great minds think alike. I have never heard of this style of music before. I admire Miss Su's innovation."

"Since ancient times, hasn't the purpose of reciting poetry and singing songs been to make people happy? Songs like this are just right for today's occasion!"

……

Everyone was talking big, making Su Lanxin so proud that she was at a loss. She smiled playfully at Fu Mingheng and blinked her eyes, looking very lively and cute.

The two looked into each other's eyes, with an indescribable ambiguity and sweetness.

The two of them had been together for a long time and seemed to remember that they were still competing, so Su Lanxin shifted her gaze to Su Lanyin's head.

"Why are you silent? If you don't dare to compete with me, just kneel down and kowtow, so as not to humiliate yourself. After all, everyone has heard that my songs are unparalleled in the world."

Before Su Lanyin could speak, Su Shengyun asked, "Since this is a competition of musical performance, why do you only sing and not play?"

This was a good question, and it froze the smile on Su Lanxin's face.

It's not that she doesn't want to play the piano, it's that she doesn't know how to play the piano at all.

In her previous life, she hid herself very well and was only responsible for singing on weekdays, leaving the playing to the musicians.

No one dared to question it at the time, as they just thought she was pampered and was afraid of hurting her hands from playing the piano.
