Chapter 460
Ning Xuemo continued to say: “Didn’t you always wanted to be an unrestrained and brave girl who travels the world? Fleeting in defeat doesn’t suit your character at all! Very unheroic! Plus, you don’t owe him anything, why be scared? If you withdrew like this, aren’t you afraid that that Rong Yan would laugh at you?!”
The maid nearby was also indignant: “That’s right! Miss, your skill in zither has rapidly improved this year . Perhaps, this time you might be able to win a good place and also pass Rong Yan! Do you really want to watch that vixen win the first prize with her tail raised to the sky?”
Yan Ziyuan was in the end a hot blooded young lady . Her hands slightly tightened, somewhat moved, and then she lowered her head, silent .
Ning Xuemo fished out a mirror from who knows where, positioning it before the girl: “Here, take a look at yourself! Be more confident, you lack nothing compared to that Rong Yan! Refusing you will be his greatest loss in his life…!”
After those words, Yan Ziyuan chuckled . Her eyes also brightened!
Yes . She will eventually untie the knot…
Blindly escaping was not her style!
She must not only partecipate in this Zither Meeting, but she must also join the event grandly!
……
Ning Xuemo and Yan Ziyuan changed their clothes again . After freshening themselves up, they were led by a child to the ship of the Zither Meeting . When they reached there, the sky was completely dark already . Also, the people who joined the competition have mostly arrived .
The inside of the ship has been decorated with antique furnitures: there was an incense burner table, an auspicious incense burner in the shape of a beast head, many ink sceneries of mountains and rivers… plus two words, all without exception — Literary Pursuits .
Many people came to take part in the match . All together, they were 38 persons, mainly teenagers, who were all high-skilled in the field of the zither .
Each one of them was meticulously dressed up . The boys were wearing fluttering scholar garments, while girls were wearing slim gowns . Playing stringed instrumentals was a refined activity, therefore all the participants were wearing clothes which were — Elegant .
There were no bizzarre and trending dresses, as they gave priority to a plain look . In fact, gold and silver jewelries on the girls’ heads have been eliminated . The majority, instead, adopted the use of White Jade or Light Jade Hairpins…
Because they were mostly wearing simple dresses, when Yan Ziyuan and Ning Xuemo walked inside in crimson clothes, both of them attracted people’s attention .
Wearing crimson clothes was not a good thing, because it was too vulgar . But today, dressed up in this way, Yan Ziyuan gave people an extremely stunning feeling .
Regarding the styling, if Ning Xuemo claimed to be the second, then nobody would dare to be the first .
So, Yan Ziyuan’s today attire has all been completely managed by her .
Yan Ziyuan was wearing a long red muslim skirt and drape, dazzling Southern Pearls necklace hung on her snow-white neck, while her black hair, who were not tied, were loose like waterfall . There was a flower sprig made of pearls on her head .
Furthermore, her broomed eyebrows were soft, her canthus were slightly raised, her cheeks were glistening and tender, her mouth was red and full, like an unfolded red ribbon in the snow… if she smiled, her beauty would be even more soul-stirring .
{tl: omg those two paragraphs full of descriptions were so complicated! I hope I made the text understandable anyway!}
In the Hall were hung any types of Palace Lanterns . The candles gently flickered, accentuating even more her amazing and beautiful figure . The crimson dress she was wearing was bright like the fire, not indecent at all . On the contrary, it was perfectly elegant and noble and naturally conforming with her identity of the City Lord’s daughter .
Occasionally, some sighs would be heard in the Hall . Who knows how many eyes were staring at her body . Some were amazed, others were envious, and of course, some others were disapproving . Since Yan Ziyuan’s status was high, many people present here knew her . One after another, they all went to greet and chit-chat with her…
