The Imperial Empress did not expect for Huang Yueli's qin skill to be so masterful. Knowing her plan will not come to fruition, she became highly impatient.
She just wished for this segment to quickly end and start the next one as soon as possible.
Also the others turned their attention to Bai Ruoqi, jest flashed within their eyes.
The presence of knowing people, Bai Ruoqi's reluctance to perform was understood by everyone!
As Bai Ruoqi's turned redder and redder, she finally made up her mind. Biting the bullet she said: "I will perform.....the qin also! I will play for everyone a "Water from High Mountains"!"
She knew the rules of the Palace. Performing no matter how bad is still better than refusal. The latter option was to treat the Emperor disrespectfully and possibly suffer punishment.
At her wits end, Bai Ruoqi held her winter water qin and went to the middle. Taking a deep breath, she began to play.
