Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan was seen plucking the strings of the zither lightly with his fingers, testing the pitch and timbre of the high, medium and low frequencies of the zither. Then, the crisp and bright high notes, the mellow and full middle notes and the thick and deep low frequencies sounded one after another. Ye Changyan secretly praised in his heart that the lingering sound of the zither was quite long, and it was really a good zither.

Liang Jingcheng also took the jade flute in his hand, put it to his lips and blew a short piece casually, trying the pitch and timbre of the jade flute. The jade flute that could be collected by the King of England in his study was indeed not bad. The sound was crisp and pleasant, the high frequency was passionate and high-pitched, the mid-frequency was crisp and melodious, and the low frequency was majestic and steady. It was a rare good flute.

An expert can tell whether a piece is good or not with just one move. Many people present claimed to be talented people in Shengjing City, and naturally they were all familiar with music. Originally, most of these people had some disdainful expressions, but after seeing Ye Changyan's smooth finger movements and Liang Jingcheng's control of breath, everyone more or less put away their original disdain, and instead looked full of expectation, staring at Ye Changyan sitting behind the stone table and Liang Jingcheng standing next to the stone table.

Liang Jingcheng glanced at Ye Changyan, indicating that he was ready. Ye Changyan nodded, waved his hands, and began to pluck the strings of the zither in front of him. The melodious melody spread throughout the palace garden in an instant.

The three princes, who had not paid much attention at first, gradually became serious when they heard the melodious melody. The scholars and students who claimed to be familiar with music were immediately attracted by the melody. Even those students who were not well versed in music quickly realized the uniqueness of this song.

This piece of music was completely different from the tunes played in many singing houses in Shengjing City. This graceful, melodious and novel tune quickly caught the auditory nerves of everyone present. Along with the crisp and bright tune, some people unconsciously shook their heads and closed their eyes to enjoy it.

Just as everyone was immersed in this melodious tune, they heard a high-pitched and passionate flute sound and a gentle and melodious piano sound playing together.

The flute has a clear, bright, agile and elegant tone, while the guzheng has a mellow, deep and full of charm, naturally interweaving the crispness and thickness together. When Liang Jingcheng played it, the natural overtones produced by the jade flute blended with the rich resonance of the guzheng itself, and the overtone effect was very obvious.

At this time, apart from this melodious melody, there was almost no noise in the garden of the Prince of England's Palace. Both the talented scholars who were familiar with music and the students who had little knowledge of it were deeply attracted by the song played by Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. Even the three princes and the King of England listened attentively, not wanting to miss any note.

At the same time, the clear and melodious tune could also be heard from the backyard of the palace on the other side of the palace garden. The princess and the prince's wife, who were playing chess, also heard the tune and were attracted by it for a moment.

The princess had learned to play the guzheng since she was a child and was quite accomplished in playing it. She was well-known among the noble ladies in Shengjing City. At this moment, listening to the clear and melodious melody, she could not help but admire the other party's exquisite guzheng playing. She was so engrossed in listening that she even held a white chess piece between her fingers and did not make a move for a long time.

Just when the entire palace seemed to have pressed the pause button because of the gentle and melodious tune, the performance came to an end.

Just when everyone was still feeling a little unsatisfied, Ye Changyan smiled faintly at Liang Jingcheng, and his fingers plucked the zither strings again, and the familiar melody sounded again.

Everyone had a happy smile on their face. Just as everyone was immersed in the graceful and melodious melody played by Ye Changyan, accompanied by Liang Jingcheng's high-pitched and passionate flute sound, Ye Changyan plucked the zither strings and sang loudly.

"At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain~Bai Suzhen~, I cultivated this body in the cave two years ago..."

Suddenly, everyone on the scene was surprised. It turned out that it was really singing and playing. However, the novel and melodious tune, combined with the lyrics that Ye Changyan had just blurted out, made everyone on the scene go from being surprised to being stunned.

Although no one wanted to interrupt the clear and melodious melody, few of the scholars and students present had not read the legendary storybook called "White Snake". They never expected that Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng would sing the tune about "White Snake". When they heard this novel singing and thought of the sad and beautiful story of "White Snake", everyone's heart was surged with emotion.

The princess and the prince's wife in the backyard next door had naturally read the legendary version of "White Snake". Although Ye Changyan's voice was far less penetrating than the zither and jade flute, the princess and the prince's wife still vaguely heard the mention of Bai Suzhen in the lyrics.

The princess was listening so intently that she didn't even notice when the white chess piece she was holding between her fingers fell onto the chessboard.

The Crown Prince's Consort is also a daughter of a prominent family, so naturally she has a certain attainment in music. At this moment, the Crown Prince's Consort also held her breath, closed her eyes slightly, and listened carefully to the melodious tunes and moving singing coming from the garden.

Just like the chrysanthemums blooming in the palace garden, there will be a day when they will be ordered to bloom. The good times will eventually come to an end. Even the most pleasant tune will eventually come to an end.

As Ye Changyan took his hands off the zither on the stone table, Liang Jingcheng also put down the flute that was upright at his lips. However, the people at the scene had not recovered from the melodious singing and melody for a long time. Everyone was still immersed in the lingering tune and intoxicated by the moving singing.

"Clap clap clap..."

At this time, there was a faint applause from outside the high wall next to the garden. It was the princess and the prince's wife's sincere admiration for the singing and playing just now.

Although the applause coming from outside the high wall next door was a little weak, it still brought back the attention of many people who were immersed in the melody and the lingering sound of the song, including the King of England and the three princes. The King of England could not help but follow the applause coming from the other side of the high wall and clapped rhythmically.

The eldest prince also clapped with a look of enjoyment, followed by the third prince, the second prince, the Crown Prince of England, and the Prince of Rui'an. All of a sudden, all the royal family members and scholars present clapped their hands from the bottom of their hearts.

Just this cup of tea, everyone present felt the heavenly auditory enjoyment. When they listened to it for the first time, they felt that it was like the ethereal sound of immortals, like a dream. When the second performance started, accompanied by Ye Changyan's singing, the scenes in the storybook of "White Snake" emerged vividly in the minds of all the book fans, so vivid and so real.
