Chapter 459: Adam's apple rolls, the more wine you drink, the more
Pei Mochen pulled Pei Yuxiao aside and whispered, "Brother, I like Mu Wanyan in my heart, I think..."
"As long as you both understand each other, I will not stop you." Pei Yuxiao interrupted him and returned to the main seat.
There was a stern look on his handsome face, but when he looked at Mu Wanyan, his eyes, which showed no emotion, clearly flashed with a complex light.
He turned around and gave a wink to Fu'an beside him, then ordered someone to bring a guqin.
Pei Yuxiao: "I heard that Princess Xichang is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Could you play a song to liven up the palace banquet today?"
Mu Wanyan was slightly startled, and seemed to sense Pei Yuxiao's ill intentions.
But in front of everyone, she couldn't refuse, so she stood up and replied softly, "Since the prince is so interested, Wanyan will obey your order."
She walked lightly to the guqin and slowly sat down. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Pei Yuxiao and Fu An looking at each other. The smugness that slowly rose on the corners of their mouths made Mu Wanyan's heart tighten again.
I thought to myself: Some people are just born to be incompatible. The prince hates me, so the guqin he gave me must have something wrong with it.
As she expected, the strings of this guqin had been tampered with by Fu'an, and it was estimated that one of the strings would break after not being played for long.
There was a cunning look in Pei Yuxiao's eyes. He would snatch anything that Pei Mochen liked, and he would bully anyone that Pei Mochen liked.
Make Mu Wanyan look bad, make her feel wronged, make her cry, and make Pei Mochen feel distressed. This is Pei Yuxiao's purpose today.
After a while, melodious piano music sounded in the hall like the gurgling of water.
Mu Wanyan was wearing a light pink dress today. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes were clear, and her long black hair was draped softly behind her. She looked like a dream or a painting, so beautiful.
The ten fingers flip and the piano sounds ethereal.
The music she played seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making everyone present immersed in it, including the yandere Pei Yuxiao who was sitting in the main seat and wearing gorgeous clothes.
Pei Mochen stared in a daze. Mu Wanyan in his eyes seemed to be emitting light. At this moment, his heart was deeply touched again, and his love for her increased a little more.
I have loved Mu Wanyan for so long, and I am surprised almost every time I see her.
Mu Wanyan was concentrating on playing the piano when suddenly a string broke, making a loud "clang" sound.
Everyone looked at her in astonishment, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
Pei Yuxiao's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and he was secretly happy in his heart: Silly girl, let's see how you end up this time.
Mu Wanyan panicked, but quickly calmed down.
She raised her head, took in the gloating expression of the evildoer in the main seat, took a deep breath, and placed her jade fingers on the zither again.
'It is possible to play the piano even if the strings are broken. It all depends on the skill of the person playing the piano.'
As expected, although one of the strings of the guqin had broken, beautiful music still came out under Mu Wanyan's fingertips.
The sound of the piano is sometimes as passionate as a rushing river, majestic and powerful, just like a curse; sometimes it is like the sobbing of a spring, gentle and sad, as if expressing the difficulty of being in a foreign country.
Everyone listened with fascination, and after a moment, thunderous applause broke out in the hall.
At the same time, Pei Yuxiao's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, forcing him to look up and look at Mu Wanyan again.
Focused affection, beautiful face, graceful figure, and superb piano skills.
He had been expecting to see Mu Wanyan panic after she made a fool of herself, but he didn't expect that the girl in front of him would become more and more familiar to him the more he looked at her, and the more he wanted to possess her.
He thought about it, very much.
He waved and called out to Lai Fuan, "Can women in Xichang cast a spell? I might have been poisoned."
Fuan: "The women of Xichang cannot cast a spell. Perhaps Your Highness drank too much tonight."
Pei Yuxiao's eyes darkened as he looked at Pei Mochen who was frequently showing goodwill to Mu Wanyan, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the palace banquet was coming to an end, he still didn't want to let anyone leave.
"Princess Xichang is indeed extremely talented. I am very lucky to hear your piano playing today."
He looked at the guests in the hall and said, "If you want to see the princess dancing again, would you please do me a favor?"
Mu Wanyan was about to refuse, but she heard the audience cheering instantly.
"I heard that the women of Xichang are famous for their singing and dancing skills. I wonder if the princess could let us experience the charm of Xichang?" A royal prince stood up and said.
"Yes, the broken guqin can now produce heavenly music in the hands of the princess. If the princess is willing to dance, we will be able to feast our eyes and it will be worthwhile to attend the palace banquet." Another man echoed.
Everyone was talking at once, and before Mu Wanyan agreed, Pei Yuxiao winked at the servant beside him.
After a while, the center of the hall was cleared, leaving only a mirror-like marble floor.
"Mu Wanyan, I can't refuse your kindness. The stage is ready. Are you willing to dance again today?" Pei Yuxiao's voice was neither loud nor low, but it carried unquestionable majesty.
His eyes were fixed on Mu Wanyan, a look that was a mixture of admiration and possessiveness.
His feelings towards her were complicated, a mixture of inquiry and jealousy.
Mu Wanyan had no way to refuse, and she didn't want to lose her composure in front of so many guests. So, she slowly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, bowed gently, and began to dance.
As the melodious music sounded, Mu Wanyan danced like a light butterfly.
With a graceful figure and light steps, every spin and jump seems as if she is walking on the clouds.
Everyone present was attracted by her dancing and followed her closely.
Pei Yuxiao looked at the dancing Mu Wanyan, the light in his eyes becoming more and more fiery.
Her graceful figure was faintly visible against the background of her dance costume, arousing his deep desire to possess her.
The more he drank, the hotter his body became, and the deeper his eyes became.
Pei Yuxiao's Adam's apple rolled slightly. How could he let Pei Mochen possess such a beauty?
At the same time, Lu Yan, who was not far from the stage, gradually had a fierce look in her eyes.
This princess is so beautiful that she is the center of attention wherever she goes.
How could such a palace banquet attended by the princes of Dafeng be overshadowed by a princess from a small country?
She quietly broke the beads on her hand, and then when no one was paying attention, she secretly threw them towards the center of the stage.
The music continued, but Mu Wanyan was immersed in the world of dance and had not yet noticed the subtle changes.
However, when she jumped up again and was about to complete a difficult spin, her toes accidentally stepped on one of the pearls and her body suddenly lost balance.
Just as she was about to fall, a figure flashed by like lightning and caught her steadily.
