My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 109: The Towering Princess
Lou Yingqi opened his mouth and wanted to give a reminder.

But his father's aura was so strong at the moment that he didn't know how to start.

However, Zeng Shilin did not let him wait for long. He slowly looked at him and asked:

"If you want to make the princess's party afraid to act rashly, I have a way."

"What method?" Lou Yingqi was startled and looked at his father expectantly.

"Is the body of the snake still there?"

A sneer appeared on Dad's lips.

"Uh..." Lou Yingqi looked up blankly.

"Send it to my house later. I will cook some snake soup for the princess."

Lou Yingqi opened his mouth in surprise.

He first looked at Zeng Anmin.

He looked at Zeng Shilin again.

I was in a trance for a while.

"Knock on the mountain to scare the tiger, what a good strategy!"

Zeng Anmin gave a thumbs up.

Dad slowly raised his chin and said calmly:

"That means Dean Shi is accompanying Ji Qing to the border to subdue the demon. Otherwise, this bowl of snake soup would not be sent by me."

Dean Shi.

The president of Qilin Academy in the capital.

An absolute boss in the realm of destiny at the second level of Confucianism and Taoism.

It was also my father’s support when he was young in Beijing!
However, this big tree is now slaying monsters in the northern border together with Ji Qing, the chief of the Imperial City.

"Thank you, Mr. Zeng."

Unconsciously, Lou Yingqi had changed the way he addressed his father.

"Well, it's getting late, so I won't keep Minister Lou for dinner."

Dad slowly picked up the teacup.

"I am resigning."

Lou Yingqi bowed respectfully to his father and slowly retreated towards the door.

…………

"Don't you want to see me off?"

Zeng Anmin blinked and looked at his father.

Zeng Shilin stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then took a sip of tea and asked calmly:

"So why are you still sitting here?"

"Uh."

Zeng Namin's mouth twitched, and he took a step to chase after Lou Yingqi outside:

"Uncle Lou, I'll see you off!!"

…………

That night.

In the extremely magnificent palace.

Somewhere in a yard.

There was a mature woman sitting there.

In front of her was a very ornamental set of chimes.

At this moment, his long white fingers twisted the slender bell and gently struck the chimes in front of him.

The mature woman was extremely gorgeous, and her eyes seemed to be covered with fine sand, making it difficult to see clearly.

Just like the stars, it attracts the eyes of young people.

Every one of her facial features is just perfect.

A red mole at the corner of her mouth gives her an alluring beauty.

"Ding ding ding~"

The pleasant sound of chimes echoed in the courtyard.

The mature woman's face was full of enjoyment.

She was wearing a black gown, exuding an incomparable elegance.

As the rhythm of her tapping became faster, the two peaks that were high and about to burst out rose and fell.

The most eye-catching thing is her waist.

The extremely narrow and slender waist is gathered up by the jade belt, forming a beautiful arc.

It arouses people's imagination and makes people blush.

Further down, the round buttocks sat on the cushion, leaving a gap with the bright yellow cushion that made people breathe harder.

She exudes perfection from head to toe.

She looked like a work of art carved out of white jade by the finest craftsmen.

The palace maid beside her bowed her head very respectfully.

Waiting quietly for the mature woman to strike the chimes.

The song ends.

The maid dared to speak: "Your Highness, Princess Ning'an is here to see you."

The mature woman slowly raised her head.

His eyes looked straight into the palace maid's eyes.

"What's the matter?"

When she spoke, there was a touch of indifference that was extremely elegant.

It seems to be a cold and peaceful place without any conflict with the world.

But there is a hint of extremely tempting temptation.

The sound is extremely beautiful, just like the sound of music flowing through the beams.

"This slave doesn't know."

The palace maid bent even lower.

"aunt!!"

At this moment, a figure came from outside the yard like the wind.

Ning An's eyes were filled with coldness. She came to the eldest princess and pointed outside the courtyard and said:
"Kill all those palace maids and eunuchs!"

"They kept stopping me from coming in!"

"Dog slave!"

When she said this, she gritted her teeth again:
"In my place, if a few servants dare to stop us like this, they will be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs!"

……

Ning An was still the same, leaving everyone speechless as soon as he appeared.

A cold look flashed across the eldest princess's eyes, and then a smile appeared on her beautiful face. She slowly stood up from the futon:
"They are just a few servants, why bother about them?"

Only then did her true appearance appear.

Long legs, thin waist, round buttocks and those extremely eye-catching towering hills.

She was very tall, a head taller than Ning An.

She looked down at Ning An with a gentle smile and asked:

"Why are you here to see Auntie today?"

Ning An said as if it was a matter of course: "I have no money left, so I came to ask my aunt for some. I will give you one thousand taels this time."

The princess chuckled and said, "I wonder what it is."

After saying this, she raised her chin, looked at the palace maid beside her and said:
"Go get His Highness Ning An a silver note worth three thousand taels."

"Yes." The maid still lowered her head and looked submissive.

But before leaving, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Ning An.

Princess Ning'an was completely unaware of this. She sat carelessly on the cushion that the eldest princess had just stood up from:

"Auntie, the snacks here are delicious. Do you have any more?"

The princess smiled softly and shook her head, "It's not time for dinner yet, not yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice:
"Your Highness, Princess, someone saw you and said that they sent you some nourishing food that can warm your blood."

"Oh?"

The princess frowned slightly, looked at the palace maid and asked:
"Who sent it?"

"The Shangshu's house." The maid replied.

Shangshu No.?
It should be Ren Weizhi.

The eldest princess's brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded calmly:

"Yes, take my pair of chicken blood jade red cups from the storehouse as a return gift."

"Yes."

After the palace maid entered the room, after a while she bumped into a small and exquisite box and walked out.

"What chicken blood cup?" Ning An, who was sitting on the futon, looked at the princess walking away, then looked up at the eldest princess curiously.

From her perspective, she could only see the high protrusion of black cloth.

Cover the eldest princess's face tightly.

"It's just worthless stuff."

The eldest princess chuckled and didn't care much.

"Oh, I want it too." Princess Ning An looked at the eldest princess as a matter of course and said:

"Send a pair to my Yongning Palace tomorrow."

The eldest princess's expression froze slightly.

Then he smiled, took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

"Ah."

"That snake soup."

Princess Ning'an looked towards the palace maid who was walking slowly towards her with a food box not far away.

"Your Highness."

The palace maid came before the eldest princess respectfully.

"Open it and take a look!" Ning An ordered the palace maid.

The palace maid pursed her lips, slowly raised her head and looked weakly at the eldest princess.

"Open it."

The eldest princess nodded slightly.

"You little dog slave!" Ning An was so angry that her teeth itched. She glared at him:

"I told you to open it, but you didn't listen?"

"Why bother with her?" The princess took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and stared at the palace maid.

Ning An was still trying to persist, but ended up smelling an extremely unpleasant odor.

She frowned instantly and looked at the food box.

A bloody smell filled the air.

"What is that? It stinks so bad?!"

Ning An pinched his nose and stepped back.

The eldest princess also had a gloomy face, with an incomparable coldness in her eyes as she looked into the food box.

Then I saw a bowl of bloody snake soup lying there quietly.

How can this be called a soup?
It was clearly a bowl of bloody snake meat! ! The princess raised her head sharply and looked at the palace maid, her voice revealing a hint of murderous intent:
"Are you sure it was sent by Shangshudi?!"

The palace maid shuddered violently: "Your Highness, it was indeed the Minister of War who sent someone to deliver it!"

"They also say that the meat of the green viper is the most delicious..."

Green viper?!

Minister of War?!
The eldest princess' eyes suddenly narrowed.

She seemed to hear a voice.

Lou Yingqi is my henchman now.

I saved his life!

If you don’t agree, come find me later!

"Did you say anything else?"

The eldest princess had a blank expression on her face and her voice sounded as cold as the coldest winter.

"He said that the bowl containing the snake meat was extremely exquisite and needed to be wrapped with rice paper from Qishan Road..."

Qishan Road.

Rice paper...

The eldest princess's white hands were clasped tightly together under her sleeves.

At this point, how could she not understand the threat involved?
Qishan Road refers to King Qi.

Rice paper...

She took a deep breath, her eyes were devoid of any feeling, and her voice was cold:

"Let Chi Bufan come to see me!"

"Yes."

…………

Imperial College.

Today is another beautiful day.

Zeng Anmin and a group of students were sitting on an open space at this time.

In front, an old figure sat opposite the group of students.

The figure had white hair and beard, and his face looked simple and old.

He was Li Lianting, the music teacher of the Imperial College.

It is even known as the best piano in the world.

A ten-stringed harp was placed on the table in front of him.

The piano is extremely exquisite, with extremely smooth lines.

The same is true for the students below.

There was a long harp in front of everyone.

But relatively speaking, their pianos are much more ordinary.

"Ding ~"

As Li Lianting's seemingly withered hand gently stroked the strings of the zither, an extremely beautiful sound was heard.

Everyone subconsciously looked up at Li Lianting.

“The way of music is not just for the sake of music. When we Confucians study music theory, what we are studying is not music, but transcendence.”

Li Lianting's voice had a leisurely tone.

Ringing in everyone's ears.

“What is “Yue”?”

"As the ancient sages said, 'Cross the mountains, cross the waters, and you will cross yourself.'"

“This is also the triple realm of music theory.”

"........."

The knowledge that the old man shared circulated in the air.

Entered Zeng Anmin's ears.

But it just couldn't get into his mind.

He was even a little drowsy at this time.

"I really am not suited to listening to this kind of thing."

Zeng Anmin yawned.

He glanced sideways at Qin Wanyue who was listening intently.

Qin Wanyue's profile is extremely beautiful.

At this moment, her eyes were full of light, and she nodded from time to time as she listened to Li Lianting's explanation...

Zeng Anmin immediately showed great respect for Qin Wanyue.

He will never be able to achieve this kind of good student's state in class in his lifetime.

It was the same in music class in my previous life.

As long as he is asked to sing, he will howl louder than anyone else.

But what do you want to tell him? "Doraimee Faso Laxi."

He fell asleep immediately.

"This is how music theory works. Do you remember it clearly?"

Li Lianting glanced around.

Then he saw the fat little prince sleeping on the table.

There was also Zeng Anmin, who was sitting in front of the fat prince with lifeless eyes.

And Liu Xian who was dozing off with his head down on the other side.

These three people have been like this since the beginning of the class.

The get out of class is almost over and it's still like this.

Li Lianting's eyelids twitched slightly.

He took a deep breath, and a cold look flashed across his face:

"How about I play a song for you guys?"

Hearing this, all the students' faces lit up.

There was anticipation in his eyes.

It is said that Master Li's music can make birds lose their way.

I finally got to see it today!
Li Lianting took a deep breath, and his withered hands slowly stroked the piano.

“Ding~!!”

An extremely harsh voice sounded.

"Ok?"

The fat prince was instantly aroused by the voice. He raised his head abruptly without even bothering to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body trembled.

Liu Xian’s sleepy head suddenly raised up.

The drowsiness in my mind disappeared instantly.

"What is that?!" The extremely flashy crabapple flower head on his head fell off.

Fortunately, the sound of the piano was enough to drown out their noise.

No one noticed them.

"Ding!!!"

The next moment, an extremely solemn voice rang out from Li Lianting's piano.

It was like a battle among the armies.

Everyone was so excited that goosebumps appeared on their bodies.

"Hi~"

Zeng Anmin took a breath, couldn't help but come back to his senses, and looked towards Li Lianting.

This master has something! !

"Ding ding ding~"

The sound of the piano continued, rising and falling very neatly.

Li Lianting's withered hands kept shaking on the piano like raindrops.

Everyone felt extremely depressed after hearing this.

Finally, the last sound of the piano fell!
"Ding!!!!"

It seemed to be the sound of weapons clashing.

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

Li Lianting looked at all the dull eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"how?"

"Master Li's music is unparalleled, and I have benefited a lot today."

There was a hint of admiration in Qin Wanyue's tone.

"hehe."

Master Li slowly stood up and said, "Please play the passage just now one by one."

? ?
There was a gleam of confusion in everyone's eyes.

"My life has been filled with the ups and downs of the zither. In my opinion, the "music" of the six arts is the understanding of the soul, which has nothing to do with the sound of the zither played. And this piece of music, "Border Moon", is the most suitable for understanding "music".

Li Lianting looked at everyone calmly and said, "So it doesn't matter whether you play well or not. What matters is whether you can express the solemnity in your heart that matches the sound of the music while playing."

……

Very profound.

This naturally caused everyone to whisper.

"Who comes first?"

"I'll go first!!"

The first person to speak was the one sitting behind Zeng Anmin... Liu Xian.

Liu Xian's face was full of confidence as he gently stroked the ten-stringed zither in front of him that was no worse than the one in front of Li Lianting:

"The song "Border Moon" is exactly in line with the "Zuozhenqin" in my hand, so I will let my students throw out some ideas to inspire others!"

"Haha, then you try it first." Li Lianting looked at Liu Xian calmly.

……

"Play the formation harp?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the piano in the boy's hand curiously.

The whole body of the zither was black, but there was a gleam of light in the black, the overall lines were extremely smooth, and every string exuded a touch of luxury.

"The Liangyou Chamber of Commerce is indeed wealthy and powerful, and Liu Sanjiang is also willing to support his Confucianism and Taoism practice."

The prince was very close to Zeng Anmin. He looked at the "Zuozhen Qin" with a look of pity on his face.

The voice sounded slowly.

Zeng Anmin frowned when he heard this. He looked at the prince and asked
"Liu Sanjiang? Liangyou Chamber of Commerce? He is Liu Sanjiang's son?"

"Yeah." The prince nodded slightly.

Zeng Anmin looked at the willow string.

A sentence slowly emerged in my mind.

"With only the Ministry of Revenue's accounts, and no Good Friend Chamber of Commerce's accounts to compare with, how can it have any credibility?"

This is exactly what my father said to Minister Lou yesterday.

The sunlight shines on Zeng Anmin's face.

Then he looked at Liu Xian with eyes that became brighter and brighter...
