When she finally finished cleaning up, the morning light outside had turned into a golden color and spread across the sky and earth.

When she was about to go out, she suddenly heard a noise downstairs and stopped.

The music subject of today's test is of the same category as etiquette, and etiquette requires music to match. However, music is now more of a gentleman's skill in cultivating one's moral character. This time, there are four music subjects in the gentleman's test, including music, chess, singing and dancing.

Groups of high-spirited young people appeared in the house, holding many musical instruments in their hands. They walked together to the square where the competition was held, making jokes and jokes with each other.

"Count the time, it's about to start..."

"What are you competing for today?"

"Play the piano...I really can't play chess..."

"Then you are too inferior. You dare to come to the marriage recruitment meeting like this? How can you be worthy of the princess?"

"Hey, are you worthy of it? Who would dare to think about marrying a princess... I'll be satisfied just by looking at her, won't I?"

"Okay, okay! Just think that I have one less competitor!"

Over there, Tuoba Kui was dressed in red, full of energy, and walked downstairs gracefully, carrying a guqin and a flute and fan hanging from his waist...

He has to participate in all four categories. Since he is competing, he must crush everyone in every aspect.

But he didn't want to see Qin Xuanling with empty hands as soon as he went out.

"Your Majesty, do you think you are bound to win?"

Tuoba Kui smiled and walked downstairs slowly, but his tone was full of sarcasm, "Why, do you think you won't even do superficial things to win sister's favor?"

Qin Xuanling looked at it very strangely, "No, I will participate in all four events." He glanced at Tuoba Kui and said, "The musical instruments and other rituals are all ready, just use any one."

What do you mean...just use any one? Isn't this kind of competition using your own musical instrument? In today's competition, how many people brought high-quality musical instruments? Is Qin Xuanling so arrogant?

Just as he was talking, the young people from Da Zhou over there also came out one after another, carrying guqins behind them, all of them elegant... The leader was none other than Chu Sheng from Da Zhou.

Tuoba Kui suddenly felt sick in his heart, so he didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries and walked out quickly.

Yun Xihe stood upstairs, looking at Qin Xuanling's back among the crowd... He couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth on his face. It was really getting late, so he turned around and went downstairs.

——

In the imperial palace of Chang'an City.

The heat was becoming more and more unbearable, and everyone felt that they were still sweating even if they stood still. Qin Cang in the Jinluan Palace was inexplicably uneasy, and the voices of the courtiers were buzzing in his ears, and he could barely hold on.

Then I went to listen to a few things carefully.

In fact, it's nothing major. It seems that he is managing the country really well now...

"What's going on over there at Wutong Mountain?" Qin Cang squinted his eyes and smiled. Without waiting for anyone to answer, he laughed again, "Our Dashun man must be leading the way..."

The Minister of Rites hurriedly said, "If you return to the Emperor, everything will be fine. Today is only the second day..."

Qin Cang nodded. He wondered if the ice in the Jinluan Palace was too much. He just felt the cold air going into his body along with his pores. It was so cold that he shivered and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Well... If you have nothing important to report, please withdraw from the court."

——

The sun is shining brightly on Wutong Mountain.

"Da Zhou's instrumental music and dance are really good..."

Although he was so embarrassed yesterday, he has to admit that Da Zhou is still extremely talented in this area...

There are long verandas on both sides of the square, with seats arranged for everyone who has not competed to rest. It is Chu Sheng who is performing at the moment. I have to say that he is doing a really good job. He plays the piano with flowing clouds and flowing water, sings brilliantly and winds the beams, and dances with simple and simple postures.

.....seems to be drunk.

"This is the drunken spring breeze." Jiang Jing'an is an expert in listening to music, so he praised naturally, "This time he danced the piano, sang and danced..."

Although the voice was not loud, there were still people around to stop him, "Shh, don't talk."

Jiang Jing'an was very dissatisfied, "I'll wait for my son to come on stage later so that you can have a good time opening your eyes."

There was a lot of noise here, but Chu Sheng, who was playing the piano in the square, suddenly stopped. He felt a fishy smell rising up in his throat, and with a "wow" sound, a stream of blood spurted out...

"Your Majesty!"

"Doctor! Call the doctor!"

Everyone on the verandah looked over and saw that Chu Sheng's beautiful maids were all quickly surrounding them. Chu Sheng had his eyes closed, his face was as white as snow, and his clothes were stained with blood...

Is this dancing too intense???

Everyone in the corridor suddenly laughed again, "Is this because your love for the princess is too deep?"

It's a laugh, but it's understandable. This kind of elegant thing is to express emotions. I have long heard that King Sheng of the Zhou Dynasty had some discord with Princess Xihe. Maybe it was love that gave rise to hatred? I don't know?

Jiang Jing'an pointed at Chu Sheng who was being carried away, and praised him, "This is really hard work."

Qin Xuanling on the side smiled and said, "Yes... this is really very affectionate." While talking, he looked at Yun Xihe who was motionless on the high platform. When did she move her hands? Hmm...

....I didn't put in enough trouble last night...

Tuoba Kui snorted coldly, "If Prince Sheng fights so hard, then I will fight too!" After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, and strode towards the center of the square.

The white robe was fluttering and the sunlight was shining down. For a moment, people were stunned for a moment... Qin Xuanling narrowed his eyes and said, "In this case, I will also fight with you."

"Your Majesty, do you want to choose the drum from Xiliang?" The musician in charge of providing musical instruments from the Ministry of Rites was a little surprised.

Tuoba Kui also looked over, with a look of surprise and a hint of anger... Do you want to use Xiliang's drum? Qin Xuanling, are you determined to embarrass me in front of your sister?

The musician looked at Tuoba Kui who was fully prepared, and said self-righteously, "Could it be that the prince wants to be beautiful as a man?"

Qin Xuanling looked indifferent, "If I don't want my tongue anymore, I would have cut it off earlier and fed it to the dogs."

The musician hurriedly slapped his mouth and said, "I know my mistake." He waved his hand and asked someone to take the drum out.

Tuoba Kui withdrew his gaze, tried the strings, stroked the strings lightly, and the clanging music flowed out from under his hands...

And Qin Xuanling over there also sat down cross-legged, held the drum in his arms, raised his hands to beat, low, boring, monotonous, one sound, one sound, one sound after another...

The people watching on the verandah looked at each other, and there was a commotion and discussion.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

"Drumming is not suitable for solo playing... Isn't this making a wedding dress for the emperor of Xiliang?"

"It's actually a drum from Xiliang?!" The young men in white robes under the verandah also had surprises on their faces, "What an honor."

Yun Xihe, who was sitting idle on the high platform and leaning on the back of his chair, also sat upright and listened to the drums coming from the square.

The drumbeats in the square suddenly became more rapid. Qin Xuanling had already stood up from holding the drum. His steps were slow, but he walked out with an aura that seemed like thousands of people were coming...

"Entry song!"

Jiang Jing'an shouted out loud under the verandah. As if he heard the shouting, Qin Xuanling in the square turned slightly and looked sideways. The moment their eyes met, he was so murderous that the noise of the crowd disappeared without a trace.

"So awesome..."

The sound of the drums changed from fierce to dull and long, and Qin Xuanling's steps became slower and slower. In the sound of the drums, the previous excitement in front of the battle disappeared, replaced by the desolation of patrolling the battlefield, and his low singing voice was more appropriate...

With a stature as graceful as a giant dragon and a powerful figure like a swimming dragon, he does not look like he is performing a folk art here, but like he is fighting in front of thousands of horses.

Tuoba Kui already felt uneasy, and suddenly realized that at some point, he had taken away the rhythm of the piano music he had prepared...

The sound of the drum stopped, and no one in the gallery took the lead in applauding.

Qin Xuanling put down the drum and looked at Tuoba Kui with a leisurely expression, "Your Majesty, Xiliang, I accept the concession."
