Chapter 712: Celebration (1)

“Hahaha… Great song! Where did the kid learn this from?”

Within the palace square, the party hadn’t ended yet . Although there were hiccups, it proceeded as usual .

Although it was expected that the atmosphere would be affected, Ye Lang’s song brought the entire atmosphere back to its original state . Everyone felt happier than before .

Sometimes, music could do wonderful things, changing one’s state of mind .

Everyone also forgot about the group of people who were dragged out to be guillotined . These people had committed treason, they weren’t going to live . It was going to be a bloody night outside the palace too, the three clans could fall overnight .

Prince Wu Ji’s family did not have the same fate . They belonged to another kingdom, hence they were kept as hostages . They must make Luse Kingdom pay for what happened .

Vermilion Bird did not care about the value of Prince Wu Ji and his mother’s life . They were going to use their lives to exchange for something that could greatly benefit them . It was expected .

At this moment, the emperor did not do anything to Prince Wu Ji and his mother, letting them stay at the party . They were still his sister and nephew and since the empress dowager did not give any orders, they proceeded as usual .

This also proved that the emperor did not actually see them as a threat because he was familiar with their intelligence levels . They couldn’t do anything he didn’t expect .

At this moment, the emperor was only looking at Ye Lang, who was playing the pipa . He couldn’t figure Ye Lang out, he didn’t know how powerful Ye Lang actually was .

What just happened was supposed to be a checkmate . And Ye Lang had casually diffused the situation . Everyone felt like it was just a dream .

The three major clans dragged out of the party were screaming and venting . They too did not believe that something they put in so many resources and decades to plan, something so secret, had been deactivated by Ye Lang while roasting chicken wings .

“What kind of person are you?”

Everyone present, and the ones dragged out, had the same question . What kind of individual was he? He had the ability to bring endless surprises .

The Vermilion Bird emperor and the rest were relieved and grateful that he was here . The ones who left cursed his existence .

They soon stopped thinking about it and started to enjoy the music .

“He’s playing the pipa for joy now but once he’s sad, and plays a sad song, you’ll feel like crying . And especially if he’s playing all day, it feels like death!”

Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess were sitting in front near Princess Longji, chatting .

Not just Ye Lanyu, there were princes and princesses related to the empire in front too . There were many empty spots there now .

It felt awkward to leave empty spots in front so the emperor arranged for Ye Lanyu and the rest to sit in front . These were all relatives of the empress dowager . It felt more like a birthday party instead of a national ball now .

“You all don’t know how lucky you are . If he could play like this all day for me, I’d rather have that!” said Princess Longji .

“ . . ” Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess were silent . They agreed . They’d rather suffer than let Ye Lang go .

Very soon, everyone was watching him pluck his pipa strings gently as if he was fully immersed in the music . It was mesmerizing .

Even the ones who did not believe in his musical abilities, the ones who thought he only performed because he was a grandson, that he might be awful at music, changed their minds . They realised how dumb they were .

“Alright, that’s it! Thank you, everyone…”

Ye Lang put the pipa back into his ring, took a bow, then left .

“Ah, you little troublemaker, is that it? Didn’t you say you’ll perform a song for me,” said the empress dowager immediately .

She thought this song performed by Liu Feiyan and Ye Lang must’ve been prepared by her . This was hers, not his performance .

“Yeah, that’s the one . What do you think? Isn’t it a joyful tune?” said Ye Lang with a smile . “I chose this one to bring up the atmosphere . It was very suitable, wasn’t it? Everyone looks happy . “

“It was happy and a really nice tune . But isn’t this their performance?” The empress dowager nodded .

He shook his head . “No, that was my performance, they have a separate one! Mine was supposed to be after them but due to what happened, I decided to move mine forward . ”

It was true . His performance was supposed to be later . However, due to the awkward atmosphere, he decided to perform first .

Initially, he wasn’t even taking this seriously . Based on the performance list, perhaps no one would really remember him either . Although it was an odd tune, if it was placed after Liu Feiyan’s song, it wouldn’t be memorable .

An unexpected series of events led to this performance being very outstanding and etched deep into everyone’s memories . This song soon trended across the mainland, becoming very popular .

This wasn’t something anyone expected!

“… Fine, at least it was good . I really liked it . ” The empress dowager nodded . Although she thought it wasn’t enough, at least it was good .

“Hehe, then we shall excuse ourselves . Next!”

Ye Lang, Liu Feiyan and the rest left the stage to their seats, allowing the next performance to begin .
