Softness and Empathy
Li Hua started to play the guzheng. She plucked the strings with her right hand and pushed the strings with her left hand to change and regulate the pitch.
All the royal ladies were astonished to hear the melodious tones that Li Hua played on the guzheng. The song she played was, "The Last Winter Night", by the great musician Bao Binglun.
'How come this servant knows about this song?' Jingfei wondered and looked at her mother, who always had liked Li Hua. She would not deny that her tea skills were exceptional, but her musical skills were extraordinary.
Lóng Wei, who was standing behind the pillar, smiled upon hearing the music that Li Hua played. He recalled how Li Hua used to play music, mostly in the Xu Residence. That was the only way to keep her happy, even inside those four walls.
