The Princess Agents Want a Divorce
Chapter 43: Love Beauty More Than the Country
When the beautiful melody began, everyone finally understood why Prince Li had praised it! What kind of music was this? They had never heard it before! It was so beautiful! Everyone was completely captivated, immersed in the melody's beauty and depth, unable to tear themselves away!
Jun Moli's eyes were deep. This woman truly possessed a captivating charm. He wondered how many more surprises awaited him. Last time, when Long Qi told him that the two songs she sang for Hua Xizhi were unparalleled in the world, he was somewhat skeptical. But hearing them with his own ears, he could confirm that they were indeed unparalleled!
Gu Lingxi was playing "I Love the Country More Than the Beauty"! This song was also one of her favorite guzheng pieces in her past life! The melody was beautiful and melodious, with a long and lingering feel! It contained both the hero's weakness and the tender feelings between men and women, the grudges of the martial world and the chivalrous spirit of loyalty and righteousness—a song full of heroic passion! When she got into the mood, she even unconsciously sang it out!
Jun Moli had already become familiar with it after listening to it once, and then the flute music flowed forth! The two complemented each other perfectly! The notes rose and fell beautifully! Instantly, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax!
The two stood, one on a seat! The lingering sound echoed! It was as if only their figures remained in the world! Like a dream!
What a life, so short, yet so exuberant! What spirit! What courageous young men, their ambitions soaring! Who wouldn't want both beauty and power? The assembled young men, their blood boiling with fervor, couldn't help but applaud and cheer! The noble ladies were also captivated, each hoping to find their perfect husband! A few, however, were consumed by envy! To be able to perform a duet with Prince Li—what a blessing!
When the music ended and the notes fell, everyone was stunned for a long time!
Only Jun Molin clapped his hands enthusiastically! A pleased smile played on his lips! Perfect! This woman would belong to him from now on!
I, this king, am a vulgar man who loves beauty more than power. Let's see if you can hold onto me, Xi'er! So far, she's the only beauty who has captured my heart! Power? It's nothing but a plaything in my hands! I can have it when I want it, and discard it when I don't!
Gu Lingxi felt uneasy under his gaze; why was his smile so alluring?
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening! Amidst thunderous applause and endless praise, they were astonished that Miss Gu, born into a family of military officers, possessed such outstanding talent!
Yes! I've never heard of that before. It seems Miss Gu is quite humble! It's rare to find someone with such talent who never flaunts it!
Yes! Unlike some people, who act like peacocks, eager to show off their so-called talents every day!
No wonder the Emperor bestowed Miss Gu upon Prince Li in marriage; it turns out that Miss Gu is a person of both talent and virtue, which is why she is qualified to be betrothed to Prince Li!
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, making Jun Ningshuang want to tear Gu Lingxi apart! Brother Li is hers! No one can take him away!
Gongsun Ruier was also filled with hatred! What incredible luck Gu Lingxi had! She'd spent so much money trying to kill her, and now she'd even caught the eye of Prince Li? What was she then? She was determined to be Prince Li's principal wife! Her gaze swept over Gu Yuting, who was huddled in the corner, the warning clear: A piece of trash!
Gu Yuting received her warning! She turned around, trembling with fear! She only wanted to be a concubine of the Prince of Li, not to die! Now Gu Lingxi had become so wicked and powerful! She had even given her poison, and Gongsun Ruier clearly didn't want to let her go! Just like Gu Lingxi said, she was going to die either way! What should she do? What should she do? If she listened to Gu Lingxi, would she spare her because they shared the same father?
After a few drinks, everyone was slightly tipsy! They gathered in twos and threes and began to stroll around the garden and chat. This villa of the Prince Li's mansion was the most exquisite, best, and largest imperial villa in the vicinity, without exception! It was a testament to the Emperor's favor!
Gu Lingxi had also had a few drinks and was feeling a bit tired, so she sat down by the railing to watch the fish.
You're here! I've been looking for you everywhere! It's Liu Mengqing walking towards Gu Lingxi with her maid!
Thank you so much, Miss Gu! My name is Liu Mengqing, and I am the third young lady of the Liu family, the Grand Tutor's mansion! You can just call me Qingqing!
Gu Lingxi smiled and invited her to sit down! "Qingqing, you don't need to be so polite. I just didn't like that guy surnamed Gongsun, it was just a slip of the tongue! Don't worry about it!"
Seeing Gu Lingxi's straightforwardness, unlike other aristocratic ladies who were pretentious and affected, Liu Mengqing was immediately in a good mood, her affection for Gu Lingxi overflowing! "May I call you Xi'er? I'll definitely invite you to my birthday party next time!"
Gu Lingxi laughed. This Liu Mengqing was truly adorable, completely guileless, a real oddity among the noble ladies! She was so straightforward, you could see right through her, yet sometimes she had to put on airs like a noblewoman because of her family background! Hilarious!
Of course you can! I've already called you Qingqing, so you can call me Xixi. That way, neither of us will be at a disadvantage!
The two quickly became acquainted while chatting and laughing! Xixi, do you know what? Your smile looks a lot like someone else's!
Oh? Who is it? Tell me, do I know them?
Hmm! Hehe, maybe you know him. He's a young master. Do you have an older brother? Do you think he might be your older brother?
Look at your shy little expression? Could it be your sweetheart?
Hey! Xixi, what are you saying?!
Gu Lingxi rolled her eyes. Why are you so embarrassed and annoyed? What's his name? Do I know him?
Oh! His name is Xiling! Young Master Ling! Sigh, your surname is Gu, so it seems he's not your brother!
Ahem! Xi Ling? Young Master Ling? Oh dear, could this girl have fallen for me in men's clothing?! What a sin!
My dear, there's something I need to tell you, but please don't tell anyone!
What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious! You said we're best friends, so don't worry, I would never..." Before he could finish, Zheng froze! He stared blankly at the jade pendant Gu Lingxi had taken out, unable to recover for a long time!
Gu Lingxi waved her hand in front of her a few times! Ah, snap out of it! Sister!
"You!" Liu Mengqing covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief! "How did you get our Liu family's jade pendant? No, this was given to Young Master Ling by my sister-in-law a few days ago! You, Xi Ling, Ling Xi? It's you?"
Yes, it's me! Ling Xi has nothing to hide!
Upon hearing her admit it, Liu Mengqing blushed deeply, whether from anger or embarrassment! She was so anxious that tears were about to fall!
Hey! Sister, Qingqing, don't get so worked up! I know someone who makes your heart flutter has suddenly turned into a woman, and you're having a hard time accepting it! Don't worry! Qingqing, I still have an older brother! He's incredibly handsome, how about I introduce him to you? Silently apologize to your brother for needing you urgently! Don't be offended!
Really? Xixi? You really have an older brother?
Yes, yes! Really! Absolutely! I'll send him off—no, I mean, introduce him to you—next time, I mean tomorrow! I guarantee he'll be your type!
Pfft, Liu Mengqing finally burst into laughter through her tears. "Alright, it's settled then. You can't go back on your word, or I'll snatch your brother away from you!"
Gu Lingxi gave a thumbs up... You're awesome!
