The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

After listening to the story of the Monkey King causing havoc in Heaven told by the nameless man, Ying Ji felt that it was very familiar, and even the later plot seemed somewhat familiar.

Unlike others who get excited when they hear this story, and even put themselves in the monkey's shoes.

But this old man has excellent ventriloquism skills; he imitates each character perfectly, making it a pleasure to listen to.

When I went out, there were quite a few people around.

"Oh my, this story was so exhilarating! I wonder when I'll be able to hear it again. I must get a good spot."

"What are you listening to, monkeys? Don't you know? A new musician has arrived at Wuyuefang. I heard his music can linger for three days. He's performing today, and this is the perfect time to catch him."

"You mean that rising star, Gao Jianli?"

“Oh, you know him, brother? It really is him. I’ve heard that his skills are extremely high. Even the people at the music academy admire him greatly.”

"Wow, that's amazing! I'd better go check it out."

Ying Ji followed behind, also becoming somewhat interested. She followed the two to Wu Yue Fang, which, judging from the plaque above the door, was an extremely elegant place.

There are requirements for getting in, of course; the entrance fee is 100 baht.

Without Ying Ji having to show up, the eunuch had already spoken to someone at the door, and soon a middle-aged shopkeeper came over: "Princess, we are truly sorry for the poor hospitality. However, all the good seats for today are already reserved."

Ying Ji casually pointed to an empty seat: "That'll do."

The shopkeeper took one look and found that it was a side hall, not in a very good location. He couldn't see the singing and dancing on stage, but he could see the musicians' positions.

Just as I was about to say something, Ying Ji had already sat down.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to move everything from the main hall over there, trying to make Ying Ji feel more comfortable.

He also left a young maidservant by his side to be at his beck and call.

Not long after Ying Ji took her seat, the performance began, with all the surrounding light blocked by a black cloth.

Only the skylight on the high platform allowed some light to pass through.

A group of women, dressed in brightly colored clothes, carrying flower trays, hopped along with light, graceful steps.

Their dance moves were graceful and elegant, showcasing the gentleness and grace of women to the fullest.

The stage was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the audience felt as if they were in a sea of ​​flowers.

They all then withdrew, leaving only one woman wearing a veil.

Dressed in a green-sleeved silk robe, she stood gracefully in the center of the stage, like a lotus in a blue sea, exuding a natural fragrance.

She looked thoughtful, as if searching for musical inspiration in the silence.

As the strings and pipes rose and fell, she danced lightly, her flowing robes spreading out like flower petals.

Suddenly all sounds disappeared. The man playing the zither was dressed in a sky-blue robe and had a serene demeanor, but he wore a fox mask, making it impossible to see his face.

His fingers danced lightly across the strings, like a mountain stream, flowing naturally and smoothly.

The sound of the piano echoed in the air, captivating all who heard it.

Ying Ji, in particular, felt that this person was very familiar. Whether it was his posture while playing the zither or his back view, it made her heart pound.

It was as if he was extremely important to her.

As the dance ended, the music stopped abruptly, the musician withdrew, and in the instant he turned away, Ying Ji's heart was struck.

【Ruoshui? Is that him?】

Ying Ji called the shopkeeper over: "Who was that musician just now?"

The innkeeper replied respectfully, "Everyone here today is here for Gao Jianli. This is him. Would you like me to introduce him to the princess?"

Ying Ji refused: "No need, step back."

The shopkeeper obediently withdrew, while Ying Ji was extremely annoyed: [It wasn't Ruoshui; I must have mistaken her for someone else. Or perhaps the two are remarkably similar.]

Unable to figure it out, Ying Ji gave up and, feeling frustrated, shook off the servant and wandered around aimlessly.

When my eyes were suddenly exposed to sunlight, they involuntarily welled up with tears. I blinked a couple of times before they calmed down.

Then, Gao Jianli, carrying a zither string, walked past.

Ying Ji instinctively grabbed the person, while the other only wanted to remove her mask.

Gao Jianli's wrist was squeezed painfully, and he dodged the hand in front of him: "I don't know where I have offended you, please let go."

Ying Ji seemed not to hear and continued trying to grab the mask, only to be interrupted by the little girl who had rushed over: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't keep up with you just now, please punish me."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Jianli quickly pushed away the woman who was approaching with his other hand and turned to run away.

Ying Ji looked at the trembling little girl kneeling and said, "Get up. I've shaken you off. You're fine."

The little girl kowtowed with tears of gratitude and followed obediently behind him. This time, she stayed close to the person and dared not be negligent again.

As Ying Ji walked ahead, she looked at her left hand and thought of the delicate feel of holding that person's wrist. She felt a little reluctant to leave, and her mind was filled with the thought of keeping that person by her side.

With a slight frown, he clenched his left hand, shook his head, and tried to shake off that unrealistic idea and leave Wuyuefang.

Just as Ying Ji left, the man carrying the zither strings lightly stroked his wrist, his gaze fixed on her back.

Gao Jianli teased from the side, "Ruoshui, is this the person you want to see when you go on stage?"

Ruoshui was still wearing a mask, making it impossible to see her expression. As she nodded, Gao Jianli put his arm around her shoulder: "Did Princess Yingji have a brief affair with you?"

Ruoshui did not reply and left in silence.
