Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"Princess Qinghe, what do you want to compete in for the final match?" Jiang Xuanzhou glared at Sun Wanning, feeling extremely unhappy. He could have taken his wife home, but now he couldn't leave. If you can't afford to lose, don't compete. Fighting like this will only make people look down on you.

"Dancing in the wind! Let's have a dance competition." Sun Wanning's beautiful eyes were burning with fire as she spoke in a lisp.

Everyone sighed again, but this time their tone was filled with unconcealable excitement.

What an inspiring competition! Enthusiastic applause ignited the entire audience, each eager for the next contest. As the two top beauties battled it out, the unmarried men in the audience seemed to foresee just how spectacular the performance would be. Their eyes darted endlessly at Princess Qinghe's long, barely visible legs and her bulging, white, jade-like breasts. Their Adam's apples swelled with heat, and the unholy fire within them suddenly surged, burning their faces crimson as they fantasized about the delicate form beneath the crimson veil.

Emperor Yong stared at Sun Wanning's sexy and enchanting figure and laughed heartily, which was tantamount to an agreement. But to everyone's surprise, Princess Linhuai actually shook her head.

"Hatsune, what do you think?" Jiang Chenfeng asked suspiciously again.

Singing and dancing were now compulsory subjects for noble ladies. Even those from the countryside could perform a few dances; it wasn't difficult at all. The position of Crown Princess was already a foregone conclusion. Even if she lost, what was the harm? The important thing was to participate. Isn't it good to have a good time? Jiang Chenfeng had no idea that Ruan Chuyin had never learned to dance.

When she was five, her parents took her to a ballet trial class. There were many other children practicing leg stretching. Curious, she followed suit, but after that, she gave up on the idea of ​​learning dance. However, she did take some form of posture lessons, which helped improve her gait and overall demeanor.

"Father, I feel that the first two competitions were chosen by Princess Qinghe. I wonder if I can choose the final one?" Ruan Chuyin expressed her thoughts.

It wouldn't have been a big deal to lose to Sun Wanning once, but who asked her to seduce Jiang Xuanzhou in front of him?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dayong felt it made perfect sense. Even if he was inclined to favor Princess Qinghe, he couldn't agree to it right now. He then said, "That makes sense. I agree. You will choose the event for the final bout. What do you wish to compete in?"

"Silk and bamboo." Ruan Chuyin said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Of all the instruments she'd ever learned, the guzheng was the only one she'd ever played. By the time she was in the first grade, she'd already passed the tenth level and won a national championship. Before she came here, she'd already reached the third level. She'd practiced less since entering university, but she still managed to play one or two high-quality pieces.

She had thought that if she couldn't find a job that matched her major, she would give up her skills and become a guzheng teacher. But fate had tricked her into coming here.

When Ruan Chuyin regained consciousness, she noticed the surroundings were unusually quiet. Even Sun Wanning looked dazed. It turned out that this Princess Linhuai was just as talented as herself. She suddenly felt disappointed.

A minute of performance on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage. I thought I would be able to shine in the palace today, but I didn't expect to face such a strong opponent.

Suddenly, everyone's mood became high.

"Oh? You want to compete in playing the zither?" Emperor Dayong asked in surprise.

The guzheng (seven-stringed lyre) has always been a male pursuit, so women rarely engage in this field. It's not even a required course for female students in major academies. It was truly surprising!

"I'm good at the guzheng..." Ruan Chuyin added. She knew the instrument existed in this otherworldly world, but it was a bit unpopular, not many people played it. The reason, of course, was the difficulty of mastering the guzheng, given its numerous strings. The guzheng's hallmark is that it's easy to learn, but difficult to master. Therefore, those who truly persevere not only have a deep passion for the instrument but also the daily encouragement of their parents. She remembered her mother constantly watching her when she first started learning, spending more time practicing basic techniques than playing music, a tedious task that made her want to give up.

Jiang Wenzhou stared at the tender green figure and felt that time had stopped at that moment.

In the dim lights, through the four seasons, and looking around the world, as long as she is there, it feels like the mountains and seas are flat, and there is scenery everywhere.

"Okay." Emperor Dayong excitedly agreed to Ruan Chuyin's proposal on the spot. After a long while, he remembered to seek the opinion of Princess Qinghe, and then he was embarrassed and polite.

What else could Sun Wanning say? Just compete, she knows how to play! She immediately chose the bamboo flute for the challenge.

The atmosphere in the hall became thrilling again.

The three golden flowers smiled so hard that their faces were cramped. It was an honor to have such a talented friend around.

"Yumei, from now on we shouldn't call them the Three Golden Flowers of Songshan Academy." Cai Lei said with shining eyes.

"What's the name?" Wang Yumei looked at her in confusion. It wasn't the three of them who chose the name themselves, so could they just change it?

"Bring Hatsune along, and from now on we'll be called the Four Golden Flowers of Liangcheng." Cai Lei said proudly.

Wang Yumei turned her head away speechlessly, took a deep breath, and turned back again, saying angrily, "How shameless! Putting aside our talents, even in terms of looks, we are not worthy of being on par with her. What are the Four Golden Flowers of Liangcheng? It's clearly just one flower and three green grasses!"

"Yumei, we don't have to be so self-deprecating. I think Leilei's suggestion is a good one." Liu Dongxiang stood firmly on Cai Lei's side. Her father was counting on her marrying into a wealthy family to bring honor to the family. What's wrong with using her friend's influence to help out? As long as she didn't feel embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed.

"Okay, okay. It's up to you." Wang Yumei didn't say any more words to them. She would never do such a thing as pushing the grindstone with bare buttocks anyway.

Turning our gaze back to the center of the hall, all the musical instruments needed by the two beauties have been placed on the stage.

Ruan Chuyin gently stroked the "King of Music" before her, her heart filled with wonder. As expected of an imperial palace, its products must be exquisite. Each register was crafted from the finest wood, and the tone was undeniably exquisite. Suddenly, a tinge of greed seized her: she longed to possess it for herself.

"Princess Linhuai, since you set the competition, let's start with you." Sun Wanning said generously while picking up the jade flute.

"Okay." Ruan Chuyin agreed generously without any hesitation.

After the first two rounds of competition, she had gradually overcome her social anxiety. Furthermore, playing the guzheng felt relatively minimal pressure, having passed the Level 3 exam and participated in numerous competitions. Once she was on stage, she was so absorbed that she barely even cared about being nervous.

I put on the artificial nails and tried out the pitch range, and every tone was calibrated.

After the preparations were completed, he took a deep breath and announced the title of the song: "General's Order".

No matter which song she chooses, it will be the first time it is released in this strange world.

She chose "General's Order" because of its resonant title and the use of large finger shakes, creating a majestic and powerful performance. It also encompasses numerous playing techniques, demonstrating the artist's skill. Most importantly, this piece is her forte, minimizing her error rate.

The moment the fingertips fell, everyone in the audience stopped breathing.
