Chapter 609 Guangling San
When it was Bai Wanwan's turn, everyone was waiting to see the joke.
How can such a young child compare to the two talented women mentioned above?
The eldest princess knew that with the strength of her own Mingya Girls' School, it was impossible for her to take first place in the competition.
She asked Bai Wanwan to go on stage just to minimize the loss of face.
After all, Bai Wanwan is only five years old. Even if she loses, others won’t gossip about her.
If older students were sent to compete and they lost miserably, the reputation of Mingya Girls' School would be completely ruined.
So she specifically instructed the female official to arrange for Bai Wanwan to participate in the competition, just to leave some room for the girl to study by taking advantage of the child's age.
But it's unrealistic to really rely on Bai Wanwan.
She looked at Su Daji next to her. Su Daji was now over thirty years old, but her skin was still as white as cream.
Many court officials have sided with her, and the situation in the court has become very delicate.
Su Daji's methods of winning people's hearts are vicious and cruel. She is well aware of the weaknesses of human nature and specifically targets the vital points.
In the court, she secretly kept dancers and singers under the name of "Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance". After carefully training these beauties with outstanding looks and ruthless means, she presented them to those powerful but evil-minded court officials.
These beauties are not only a haven of tenderness, but also eyes and sharp blades. The soft breeze blowing beside the pillow can destroy people's hearts more than thousands of troops.
As for the two generals who commanded large armies, she invested a huge amount of money in them.
First, he sent people to spy on his secret weaknesses, and learned that a general was obsessed with the art of immortality, so he paid a large sum of money to invite a sorcerer from the martial arts world to come and ask him to make an elixir for him.
In fact, she secretly mixed addictive poisons into the elixir. When the general became delirious after taking the medicine, she took the opportunity to promise him military power in exchange for a rare elixir.
Another general had a young son who was suffering from a chronic illness. She pretended to seek treatment from famous doctors, but in fact she secretly threatened the doctors to delay treatment.
When the general became extremely anxious, he used the safety of his young son as a bargaining chip to completely take him under his wing.
Although the eldest princess and the queen mother were aware of the crisis, they could do nothing about it, so Su Daji became a little arrogant.
As for Qi Guangheng, he just watched them fight, and as long as they didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye.
The entire court said that Qi Guangheng was a coward, but he didn't care.
Su Daji smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what this little girl can play. I remember that my sister's piano skills were quite good."
Su Wan'er looked at her and said:
"Yes! It's really good. Has Her Majesty the Queen forgotten?
I was also the one who taught my eldest son to play the zither. Everyone called him "the best zither player in the capital."
Every time he raised his hands at a banquet, the sound of the piano flowed like flowing water, enchanting everyone. Many people scrambled to hear him play.
Su Daji forced a smile. It was she who crippled that child's hand back then, and she just couldn't bear to see Su Wan'er doing well.
It’s not that she didn’t send people to harm Bai Wanwan, but over the years, those who went there either died or disappeared.
Once she sent out ten secret guards, but when she woke up the next morning, she found the heads of the ten secret guards placed next to her pillow, which scared her so much that she screamed like ghosts.
Ever since that incident, she no longer dared to hire someone to assassinate Bai Wanwan.
These secret guards are all top-notch, and the palace where she lives is heavily guarded. I don’t know how these people got in.
But one thing is certain, they want her head, it's just a matter of words.
The people around were discussing in low voices: "Not only has the eldest son passed the imperial examination, but his qin skills are simply unparalleled in history."
"That's right! The Second Young Master is even more amazing! During the martial arts training, he single-handedly defeated seven generals. With a swing of his spear, he even cracked the stone lions!
The Emperor immediately said that he had the demeanor of a famous general from ancient times, and that he would probably be appointed a general and be granted a title of nobility in the future!"
"It's such a pity. I don't know how he died later!"
Su Daji sneered and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. They say you are unlucky to have children. Sister, you are too unlucky."
Bai Wanwan had already started playing the piano. Bai Wanwan sat down in front of the piano, raised her hand and plucked the strings, and the whole hall suddenly became quiet.
The serving maid forgot to add more tea, and even the most eloquent maid kept silent. The only sound in the room was the piano.
"What is this playing? Why haven't I heard it before?" A young lady from a third-rank official's family whispered, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Wan'er's hands.
The maid next to her patted her gently and said, "Hush! Listen carefully, this tune is different from the one played by the old musicians in the palace!"
The old scholar in the front row suddenly stood up, his beard trembling with excitement:
"Everyone, this is the lost Guangling San!
During the reign of the previous emperor, no matter how many musicians he found, he still couldn’t restore it. This girl…”
Before he could finish his words, the imperial concubine next to him couldn't help but interrupt: "That's right! This song makes my heart tremble, as if thousands of troops are galloping in my ears!"
Bai Wan'er's fingers moved quickly on the strings, sometimes so fast that people couldn't see clearly, and sometimes so slow that it seemed like she was sighing.
Even the empress dowager, who was usually the most serious, leaned forward unconsciously, her eyes full of surprise.
Qi Guangheng walked in as the pearl curtain rustled. He listened quietly to Guangling San, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Jiang Shuying stood up suddenly and said:
"This is impossible! The score of Guangling San was burned along with the musicians of the previous dynasty. How could a woman like you play such a masterpiece?
This can't be true, Bai Wanwan, do you want to cheat in the girls' school competition?"
Bai Wanwan was too lazy to pay attention to this crazy woman. The nanny next to Bai Wanwan shouted loudly:
"Miss Jiang, if you continue to insult us, don't blame us for being rude. Whether this Guangling San is authentic will naturally be determined. There is no need for you to make a scene here."
Bai Wanwan directly played Guangling San, and Qi Guangheng nodded and said:
"Back then, my father's biggest wish was to restore the Guangling San!
I have tried many musicians but failed, I never expected you to be able to do it!
This skill is so unique that it’s no exaggeration to say it’s the best in the world!”
A few girls who were not convinced opened their mouths, but in the end they could only sigh.
They all knew the difficulty of the piece, yet not only did they play it, they also played it with great charm, and there was really nothing wrong with it.
The crowd erupted in discussion.
The girl in pink stamped her foot and sighed, "This piano skill is truly incredible! Who in our girls' school can compare to her?"
The girl in the blue skirt came over and whispered in agreement:
"That's right! A five-year-old kid can play music at this level. There's no other one like him in the entire capital!
Even if we were given the score for Guangling San, playing it would be a waste of the music."
The jury consisting of ten members of the music troupe had already gathered around, holding bamboo plaques with scores written on them.
They checked with each other and found that Bai Wanwan's score was firmly at the top of the list.
A young eunuch on the side shrilled, "Bai Wanwan from Mingya Academy, top of the zither skills! Give me one point!"
As soon as the piano-playing competition was over, the servants brought in the sandalwood chessboard, on which the jade chess pieces had already been placed.
The old master presiding over the competition struck the gong, "Ladies, please! This second match is about chess skills. Make no regrets when you make your moves. Let's see who can predict the whole game!"
