Chapter 547 The Show Begins!
The smile on Tiya's face disappeared instantly. She looked at the man not far away, and her heart slowly sank.
Don't you like her dance, Teiko-sama?
She had practiced so hard for so long. Although her body was flexible, her waist almost broke trying to practice this difficult classical dance!
But he still had this indifferent expression, as if nothing in the world could enter his eyes.
Tiya's heart suddenly felt like it was soaked in thin ice, so cold and desolate.
Lord Dizi raised his eyes slightly, seeming to notice Tia's gaze. He finally slowly raised his hand and patted it three times with the crowd.
He applauded himself!
Seeing this scene, Tiya's frustrated eyes instantly lit up. She looked at the Emperor's son with blazing eyes, her eyes filled with smiles, and she returned to the peerless and charming princess in the center of the stage.
The applause from the surrounding area lasted for a long time, and Tiya also heard the cheers and whistles of many people.
But that doesn’t matter, as long as that person also affirms himself!
Tiya was in a good mood. She slightly curved her lips, waved to the applauding people in the audience, and then bowed slightly, making a graceful dancer's posture.
That's the end.
The spotlight on the stage gradually dimmed and moved away from Tiya's body, and the stage fell into a hazy gray.
The young emperor turned his face. Fiennes had been standing beside him for his sister's plan, so he naturally noticed his every move.
He had seen everything just now, and the emperor had been looking at the stage.
Were you surprised by Tiya's dance just now?
Fiennes smiled with thin lips and had some confidence in his sister's marriage.
Fiennes tried to figure out the emperor's thoughts, his blue eyes shining brightly.
"Your Highness, you were so entranced by what I saw earlier, can you comment on the previous dance?"
However, to Fiennes's surprise, the other party replied in a confused manner.
"The music is good."
What?
Fiennes opened his eyes wide in shock. It took him two seconds to digest what the emperor meant.
Could it be that the Emperor's son was just listening to piano music earlier?
Or is it that the Emperor's lord is avoiding important matters and deliberately bypassing his own topic?
As if seeing Fiennes' confusion, the man in front of Fiennes pursed his lips and added another sentence.
"The previous piano music didn't seem to be electronic. Did Miss Tiya find a piano player specifically?"
The man's voice was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger at all.
It’s really rare that someone can still use an antique instrument like the guqin...
However, the piano player still needs some experience. Although the emotion is there, the fingering is obviously not particularly skillful, and some places where the notes are changed are a bit sluggish.
At that time, he stood in the audience and listened intently, and he could also distinguish these subtle flaws.
The sound of the piano was obviously not perfect, but for some reason, he couldn't help but feel better.
Could it be because everyone looking around at the venue was fascinated by the dance, but he was the only one who could tell that the piano player's skills were slightly lacking?
Such a subtle sense of pleasure surprised Emperor Dizi, but he did not delve into it further.
Fiennes couldn't help but twitch his forehead when he heard the emperor's words.
——How dare His Majesty the Emperor didn’t pay attention to his sister’s Jinghong Dance earlier, and focused all his attention on the accompaniment of the piano music?
Fiennes sighed in his heart for his sister, and then nodded to the man in front of him.
"His Highness guessed it right. He did find a piano player. Originally, Tiya was going to use electronically synthesized sounds. I was lucky a few days ago and happened to meet someone who could play the piano."
I don’t know why, but when Fiennes was talking, he deliberately avoided whether the violinist was a man or a woman.
Although he knew that the emperor's son in front of him was innocent and unlikely to have any thoughts about women, Fiennes still didn't want to talk to him about Su Wan anymore.
After all, he was very interested in that woman.
Fiennes didn't want to take risks with Su Wan.
Although His Highness may not be interested in Su Wan, there are so many high-ranking officials and nobles who visit the palace on a daily basis, so there is no guarantee that any stupid young man will fall in love with her.
Fiennes only had a superficial understanding of Su Wan, but he knew that Su Wan had no power or influence behind her. If she was really favored by any nobles, those people would not care about the thoughts of a commoner woman.
The Holy Court has been lax in its governance over the years, and the atmosphere among the nobles has also become increasingly loose.
There may not be many people with dragon blood's superpowers, but there are countless dandy boys with no knowledge or skills!
As soon as the war stopped, the Divine Court had abolished the existence of underground auction houses in the early years, but weren't those underground auction houses still in full swing?
And the forces behind the pickling establishment include people from the four major families!
Even the Westwell family got involved, and the Divine Court turned a blind eye!
What a joke, as long as you make money, who cares about the lives of the people at the bottom?
The taxes paid to the Holy Palace in recent years have only increased a lot...
Fiennes has always been disgusted with this situation and wants to clean up the atmosphere.
However, he has no real power in the family now, and there are many elders who are suppressing him. In order to win the support of all parties, it is even more difficult for him to openly oppose it, so as not to break his face.
…
Fiennes's gentle words passed through his ears, and the young emperor nodded with a distant expression.
"You're in luck, Fiennes. If it's convenient, how about lending me the piano player for a few days?"
"Your Highness likes to listen to the piano?"
Fiennes was startled when he heard this. He smiled bitterly in his heart. He really got what he didn't want.
"It's not that I like her, I just think there are very few people who can play the guqin and I want to meet her."
The emperor's narrow phoenix eyes glanced at him, and his indifferent eyes suddenly became sharp.
"What, you don't want to?"
The words were as calm as lake water, but they carried invisible pressure, making Fiennes' throat dry for a while.
Fiennes managed to hold his nerves down, a smile spread across his lips, and he began to lie selfishly.
"Your Highness wants to listen to the piano, of course I am willing, but Tiya has made an appointment with the piano player to continue practicing dance these days, how about your Highness coming to watch it together?"
Fiennes lied without batting an eye and used his sister as a shield.
Wherever Tiya is present, the emperor's son, Shenting, will avoid him, and it is impossible to make an exception for a little piano player.
As expected, Lord Dizi frowned slightly and his voice was cold.
"Since Miss Tiya wants to hire someone, I won't take away his beauty. I'll invite the violinist here again when I have the opportunity."
While Fiennes was chatting with Lord Dizi, a delicate female voice suddenly sounded, just like an oriole out of the valley.
"Your Highness, brother, what are you talking about?"
Fiennes looked up and saw that his sister had changed from the complicated water-sleeved dance costume and put on the carmine red tuxedo dress from before.
Fiennes narrowed his eyes and focused on the three glasses of wine in Tia's hand.
Finally, is the fun about to begin?
