Domeenering
Yusheng was clearly threatening them, warning them-.....dare to poke me then wash your neck clean, my people young or old, disciple or servant dare to have design- dare to bully wash your neck.
It was their first time getting threatened so upront, no round about flowery words. It was also their first time seeing some one so bold and domeenering with enough dare to kill someone in presence of the emperor also the first time to see someone maintaining eye contact with the emperor and also lecturing him.
She was clearly showing her might as if saying - I dare to kill what can you do?
I dare to even lecture your emperor what can you do?
What can they do... nothing. Don't you see even the emperor is behaving so docile what are we to say anything .....lamented all the people below. Though their face showed the enlightenment of learning from Yusheng but inside they were feeling as if sitting on pins and needles.
Their back felt the chill and if looked upon closely thin sheet layer of sweat had formed on their forhead. They were cursing their luck as how another demon has arrived more ferocious than the one they already had. It was pei jin that was being referred as demon.
The body was taken out, the place cleaned and put back to what it was before, as everything that happened was just a illusion. The lady's that fainted came back after making themselves presentable sat at their place obediently.
To remove the solemn air emperor waved his hand and soon beautiful girls came in with musical instruments. Some started to play while some started to dance.
Though everyone felt hurry to go back home but on surface they still tried their best to enjoy themselves on the dance and music. Consort mu and prime minister had no mood to listen to music or see the dance. Both of them were thinking on how to handle the situation.
They mostly cannot offend Yusheng, even if unable to pull at their side definitely cannot let her be on pei jins side. Consort mu was thinking as how to handle her brother and sister in-law as their son who has just been a duke of first rank for mere 3 years losing his life infront of her eyes.
She was having headache as she definitely cannot offend Yusheng but she still had to find the balance as for not to turn her brother's heart cold toward herself and furthermore convince them as not to be reckless to sought for revenge.
Yusheng then gently spoke to emperor " emperor this lord has learned that your voice is like the holy saint's blessing before the war, don't know if fortunate to listen with ones ears today"
Daring.... domeenering too domeenering was what everyone was thinking. To make the emperor of the nation sing for you, such a request well may be was the first that had been heard in the entire four nation. Oblivious it was just the beginning.....
"This lord has knowledge in zither, seeing the moon outside so bright has made this lord want to play, why do not this lord plays and emperor sing a song." Offered Yusheng.
Relenting emeoeror nods his head, soon Yusheng's table was replaced by zither table. Her gold zinc zither placed on top, washing her hands she started to play the tune- tall as Mt tai long
Deep and melodius voice of emperor can be heard
"Born of mountains we not know what war was
Living a life of bliss we not know what war was
kingdoms and reign we not know what war was
Yet now we have to learn what war is
Tall as Mt tai our men has to be
Unshakable should our men has to be
Strong as Mt tai should our men has to be
Never to fall on knee should our men has to be"
Thunderous applaud filled the air, even pei jin was clapping loudly. Finally emperor said " esteemed lord, this emperor is in awe of your play, sound of immortal even heavens envied" then gently raised his cup to toast.
Raising her cup filled with peach drink she replied " indeed a sound of holy saint magnificent, heavens blessings, this lord is in awe of your voice."
Finally after another half hour the banquet was ended. Emperor on the pretext of dicussion about oncoming selection was able retain Yusheng.
