YM778.TV Chapter 23 - Feelings
Unexpectedly, what Feng Zhiyao said next made everyone dumbfounded!
“Other than the Soul Chase Order? What do you say? Shouldn’t we increase the bet?” Feng Zhiyao thought, since the God chose her to make money today, then she would chose to gamble on something big!
Thus, she raised her eyebrows and smiled. Her black hair fluttered in the wind and landed on her white, cold and butterfly-shaped collarbone. She looked even more graceful, as if she was born from the heavens.
Situ Yelei’s eyes were infatuated with Feng Zhiyao. This woman really made him reluctant to part with her. At this time, he had long forgotten about his marriage with Princess Lingxi.
“A folding fan made of gold and jade bones. This fan is a treasure, the wind it produces is warm in the winter and cold in the summer!” Situ Yelei gracefully took out the fan from his waist.
Feng Zhiyao secretly wondered, how did this guy trick Xuanyuan Lingxi into returning his fan? In the future, she would find an opportunity to properly ask him.
“How about Young master Su?” Feng Zhiyao saw that the others had taken out their treasures and were only missing Su Muyan, so her red lips slightly curled up as she specifically called him young master Su and asked.
Su Muyan originally wanted to ignore her, but he saw that Beitang Ziqian and the others had already taken out good items. If he took out some ordinary items like banknotes, he would definitely be mocked by them. Never mind, it was not likely that Feng Zhiyao would win, so he took off the white jade ring from his left thumb.
“Cousin is indeed generous as the young lord of the Mighty Heavenly Castle!” Feng Zhiyao lowered her eyes to look at the white jade ring, almost bursting with joy. This jade was flawless, sparkling, transparent, and had clear patterns. It could be said to be one of the best among jade!
The other people brought out the following auspicious prize:
Wen Xingyuan took out a token that allowed people to stay at Wind and Cloud Inns throughout the country for free.
Xuanyuan Haoyun took out a bottle of Imperial Secret Golden Sore Medicine. It was relatively rare, but it was also a precious item.
Feng Zhiqiong lifted her hand and pulled out the Eight Treasures Purple Jade Hairpin, which was made by Huangjin Lou. It was worth thousands of gold coins.
Xuanyuan Lingxi took down the Phoenix Gold Jade Ring that were wrapped around her arm. She and the imperial concubine were the only ones who had this in the entire palace!
There were also some people who Feng Zhiyao didn’t know scattered out a lot of golden leaves and golden beans.
Feng Zhiyao was in a good mood as she looked at all these priceless items. Her originally sleepy mind was now clear!
“Eldest Miss, look at them, they are all betting. What about you? If you lose the match, what about it?” Seeing Feng Zhiyao’s eyes fall on those golden leaves and golden beans, Beitang Zixuan secretly cursed Feng Zhiyao’s vulgarity in her heart. However, seeing her big brother and Lingxi supporting her so much, her confidence immediately rose greatly! She had to win, she couldn’t give her big brother’s green jade thumb ring to Feng Zhiyao!
“If I lose, so be it!” Feng Zhiyao’s face showed indifference, because she would definitely not lose! “If you win, I’ll give this Jade Qilin to you!” She remembered the Jade Qilin that the masked man had given her last time.
When Xuanyuan Haofei saw that lifelike Jade Qilin, his inky black eyes flashed. Strange, why was fourth brother’s item in Yao’er’s hands? Could it be that Prime Minister Feng had already been attracted by fourth brother?
Xuanyuan Haoyun was shocked for a moment. This Jade Qilin was his Fourth Brother’s personal possession that never left his body. It was even a keepsake for transfer the Shadow Squad. How could it be in Feng Zhiyao’s hands?
Although the Jade Qilin looked familiar to Xuanyuan Lingxi, her mind had always been on Situ Yelei and she didn’t take the Jade Qilin to heart.
Wen Xingyuan, Beitang Ziqian and Situ Yelei looked at the Jade Qilin with dark and gloomy eyes. Could it be that Prime Minister Feng was supporting the king of Qin?
Feng Zhiqiong and Beitang Zixuan didn’t expect Feng Zhiyao to have other treasures, so they immediately hated her so much that their teeth itched.
“How about this, if you win, the Dragonfly Purple Jade Bracelet on my wrist will belong to you! But if you lose, I want you to eat a snow epiphyllum!” Beitang Zixuan pointed at a nearby snow epiphyllum and smiled sinisterly.
What? Eat the snow epiphyllum? That was a traditional Chinese medicine that made a girl infertility for rest of her life!
“Alright, if you lose, you have to eat the snow epiphyllum too!” You asked for it! What a vicious girl!
“Aren’t your bets going too far!” Wen Xingyuan thought that Feng Zhiyao would lose, and anxiously glanced at Feng Zhiyao; he wanted to stop them.
“None of your business!” Feng Zhiyao and Beitang Zixuan coldly berated at the same time.
Wen Xingyuan spread out his hands helplessly. Thus, he signaled to Beitang Ziqian with his eyes. He hoped that he could persuade Beitang Zixuan not to place such a vicious bet!
However, Beitang Ziqian lowered his head and gently took a sip from the tea, his lips lightly pulled as he smiled faintly without saying a word. He believed in his little sister’s ability. The one who lost was definitely Feng Zhiyao!
“You can choose from zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. If I choose first, others will think that I am bullying you!” To think that she was the number one prodigy of Southern Peony. She was skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as in poetry and song! Beitang Zixuan arrogantly glanced at her and mocked.
“Since that’s the case, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, the first is the zither, Then let’s compete in zither arts!” Since she was still Meixi, she liked to play zither the most. And the body she possessed was slender and clean. If she played zither, she would appear most gracefully.
Beitang Zixuan thought to herself, if she has acknowledged second place in the entire Nan Shao Kingdom for her zither arts, no one would dare to claim first place!
The so-called opponents had to know each other, so it’s better to check Feng Zhiyao’s level first!
“Eldest Miss, you first –” Just as Beitang Zixuan finished speaking, a servant from the Prime Minister’s Mansion had already brought the Phoenix Tail Zither.
“Then Zhiyao will be making a fool of myself first! Snow epiphyllum is also known as the beauty under the moon! At this moment, Zhiyao will play a song called “Beauty Under the Moon” to cheer everyone up.” Feng Zhiyao’s cherry blossom like soft and rosy lips curved up into a faint smile.
After cleaning her hands, Feng Zhiyao lowered her head and walked down the side of the Phoenix Tail Zither with a calm mind.
She elegantly extended her slender fingers, her sharp silver nails flashing with a dazzling light in the air.
She placed both hands on the zither strings and lightly pressed them together. The sound like spring water rang out and everyone could not help but be stunned.
The melody and unique charm were all important. The more important thing was the artistic conception of this song, clear and transparent, ethereal and distant, yet so close to the ear. It was like a snow epiphyllum blooming elegantly, causing people to hold their breath, waiting for the moment to catch a glimpse of its absolute beauty.
Hiding in the darkness, her eyes suddenly sparkled. The girl that Xuanyuan Haohan had his eyes on really did have some ability. If he had her, how interesting would that be!
Xuanyuan Haofei opened his mouth wide in astonishment. He was shocked upon hearing this song! At this moment, it was as though a bolt of lightning had struck his heart, and he could not recover for a long time!
