After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

At the beginning, some people were whispering, and then the whole hall became quiet.

Everyone was immersed in the music.

Shen Li also immersed himself in the music, as if he had two souls, one playing the pipa rationally, and the other immersed in the sorrow of leaving his homeland.

Everyone present, whether they understood music or not, could hear the sorrow of the tune. Some even shed tears, some sighed deeply, and some, through the music, immersed themselves in their own sorrows.

When the song ended, there was still no sound.

Even Shen Li was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

This was the first time she was so immersed in playing this piece of music that she didn't come back to her senses even after she finished playing.

Then a "pop" sound was heard, immediately breaking the silence in the hall.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. It turned out that an adult was so engrossed in his drink that he unconsciously knocked over a wine glass, which then rolled to the ground and broke into pieces with a loud bang.

Only then did everyone realize that the song had ended.

"Good, good, that's great." Ruikangdi said.

"Yes, this song is really sad to listen to." said the princess.

Then the ministers below began to get excited.

"This song reminds me of the time when I left home. My mother was still alive at that time, but now..." said a minister.

"Yes, when I think back to my most difficult time, I felt really desperate," said another minister.

"Oh! You really don't understand music. The songs played by this girl from the Shen family are not only immersive, but most importantly, her pipa skills are really good. Pipa is easy to learn but difficult to master. I have never seen anyone who can play pipa so well." Another person joined in.

"When it comes to understanding music, Lord Yu Ze knows it best. He is tone-deaf. If he says it is good, it probably means it is really good."

"That's not the case. Maybe other songs need his judgment, but I think Miss Shen's song is good even if people who don't understand it have to say it's good. There's no dispute about that."

"That's right. Anyway, I think it's good. It's better than the talent of anyone here."

"Yeah, if nothing else, just this song is really touching."

At this moment, Hu Yinyin's expression was a little distorted. How could it be possible? Her pipa was already well-known in Kyoto. Who wouldn't say it was good after listening to it? Moreover, no young lady from any family could compare to her.

But how come Shen Li was so good? Even if she didn't want to, she had to admit that he played better than her.

But no matter what, she was angry at being compared to her. She couldn't accept that someone with such a background was actually better than her.

"My dear ministers, what do you think of Miss Shen's music?" asked Emperor Ruikang.

The ministers below all began to speak.

"Okay, that's great."

"I cried when I heard it. It was so beautiful."

"Your pipa skills are excellent."

"sharp."

Rui Kangdi waved his hand and said, "Okay, so many of you are talking at the same time, and I didn't hear a word. Yu Ze, you can judge for yourself."

Shen Li was still sitting on the stool and did not return to her seat. She saw a man in his forties standing up.

"Your Majesty, I think it's very good, but I can't tell you to what extent. Your Majesty knows that I am good at music, especially the guqin and pipa. Miss Shen's skills have surpassed mine, so I really can't judge."

After Yu Ze finished speaking, people on the field started discussing again.

"Oh my! I knew the song was good, but I didn't expect it to be this good. Even Lord Yu Ze said it was good and had surpassed him. Everyone knows that he is the best musician in our dynasty. His guqin and pipa are unmatched. Now it is said that Miss Shen has surpassed him. So Miss Shen's pipa skills must be the best in our dynasty, right?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it. It's really a blockbuster."

"Yu Ze is very arrogant in music. I didn't expect that there would be someone who could make him admit defeat. Today is really an eye-opener."

"The most important thing is that this girl from the Shen family is still so young, but her pipa skills are already so impressive. She is truly a talent."

"Even you say it's good and admit that your skills are not as good as others. It seems that there is no doubt that I am the first in this performance?" Rui Kangdi said.

The ministers below did not argue this time, but said in unison: "No objection."

Shen Li looked at Gu Cheng's family.

There was finally no more contempt and disdain in Gu Chengan's eyes. Every time he saw her before, he always looked down on her with a condescending attitude. But now, it was hard to tell what the look in his eyes was, it could probably be described as obscure and unclear.

Huo Nanlian was much more direct. She stared at Shen Li, and when she saw that she was looking at her, she sneered. There was arrogance and disdain in her eyes, and also a hint of "wait and see?"

Gu Cheng, however, had a calm expression, and nothing could be seen from his face.

He is truly an old fox who has been in officialdom for many years.

What surprised Shen Li was that there was admiration in Gu Xiruo's eyes?

The original book only briefly described her, with almost nothing mentioned, so she didn't know what kind of person she was. Maybe the stereotype also made people think that she was not a good person. After all, her brother Gu Cheng'an and her mother Huo Nanlian had always been against her.

"Okay, since there is no objection, then I will give the first place to Miss Shen." After saying this, Emperor Ruikang looked at Shen Li and said, "But you said before that you only learned pipa for a few days, Miss Shen, that's not a few days, right? You play so well, but you keep saying it's not good. Are you teasing me?"

Shen Li quickly stood up, put the pipa on the stool, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of teasing you. I have not learned the pipa for a long time, not even a year, and this is the first time I play so well. It is an extraordinary performance. I did not intend to deceive your Majesty. I beg your forgiveness."

This emperor is too suspicious. One moment he is happy, and the next moment he uses words to pressure others. Her heart really can't take it.

"Royal brother, please stop scaring Miss Shen." said the princess.

Emperor Ruikang touched his nose and said, "I just saw that she was not afraid of me, so I tried to scare her." Then he said to Shen Li, "Since the princess pleaded for you, I won't care. Since you won first place, there will be rewards. I will give you a pipa. I heard that you are a businessman, so I won't give you gold, silver or jade."

Shen Li lowered his head and wanted to curl his lips. This emperor was too stingy.

"Xiao Xizi, go get the Moon Shadow and give it to Miss Shen as a reward." Emperor Ruikang ordered the eunuch.

"Miss Shen, this Moon Shadow Pipa is a famous instrument. It was made by Master Min Zheng and is ranked third among the pipa in our dynasty. I asked my royal brother for it several times, but he didn't give it to me. But now I think it's just right to give it to you." said the princess.

Shen Li knew that she was explaining to him. Could it be that he saw through her thoughts? Was this princess not simple?

But why did she help her so much?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"If you don't explain, will you think I'm stingy and not thank you?"

"Folk girls don't dare."
