Empress Dowager Mei could feel her body turned cold. She looked at the person in front of her coldly but couldn't say anything else.
The image of that flower alone could make her recall so many things she had long wished to have forgotten. The betrayal, the pain, and everything had eaten her up that she felt mad.
And she had showed this unsightly look in front of so many ladies.
"I'm not feeling well today." Empress Dowager Mei gritted her teeth. "Imperial Sister Yan should continue."
"Imperial Sister Mei should rest. It's not good to push yourself too much." Empress Dowager Yan looked genuinely worried. Her gaze was also filled with worry and concern when she looked at the other party.
This kind of gaze only made Empress Dowager Mei's heart turned colder.
"I'll stay at the side."
Empress Dowager Mei huffed and walked to her seat. She actually planned on making things difficult for these ladies so that they wouldn't be able to pass and showed their talent easily. But who would have thought that things wouldn't end so well for her that she fell for their trap so quickly?
However, who should she blame for using her weakness?
When dealing with an opponent, it was a normal thing to use their weakness and exploited it for their benefit.
With Empress Dowager Mei out of the picture, Empress Dowager Yan began to control the situation and asked them to start showing their talent. The first that they would test would be music.
Soon, the girls began to play zither one by one.
"They're playing well." Nan Hua could see that many of these girls had learned music wholeheartedly. This allowed them to be very good in whatever they were doing. The music was really nice to hear.
"Hua'er can treat it as they're giving performances." Long Qian Xing smiled. He thought to himself that it was like an open area concert. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Nan Hua's lips twitched a bit.
Why did she feel that Long Qian Xing was actually trying to find methods to amuse himself and brought her along with him to enjoy it?
She hummed lightly.
"Can Brother Long play zither?"
"Me?" Long Qian Xing was a bit surprised when asked that question. He did learn music in his original world, but those musical instruments were naturally different from the one in this era. Since he come here, he did learn a bit… but his focus has been martial arts most of the time.
"I can play a bit. If Hua'er wants to listen, I'll play for you in the future." Long Qian Xing chuckled.
"Which music instrument do you play, Brother Long?"
"I can play the flute quite well." Long Qian Xing looked at the zither and smiled bitterly. "But I don't think I can play zither that well."
