Qiao Mai remained silent, looking at the distant mountains and rivers. The empress rarely came out. She had her maid bring her qin from the ship's hold.
In such beautiful scenery, how could there be no music?
Qiao Mai closed her eyes, listening intently. The empress's qin skills were excellent; she must have practiced a lot.
No one spoke; they all listened quietly.
After a while, the empress finished playing. Qiao Mai was the first to applaud.
"Well done."
"In-law, can you play as well?"
"No, I'm a rough person. Knowing martial arts is good enough for me. Other than that, I'm good at farming and business, not much else."
"Let's complement each other. What I don't know, you do, and vice versa."
Qiao Mai had a good impression of her in-laws. She was gentle and not imposing, and her words always touched people's hearts, making them feel comfortable and friendly.
