The villain is too difficult to tease

After lunch, the gentlemen went to the study to discuss matters, while the ladies rested in the drawing room.An Zi and Ye Qingqing each had a children's dictionary, while Ophelia and Catherine guided them in learning the common language.

The two sisters didn't get along with Bai Ling, and saw that An Zi and Ye Qingqing had a feud with Bai Ling. An enemy's enemy is a friend, so they were very friendly to them from the beginning.It's a pity that the allies they want to win over have communication barriers with them.

The Duchess and Marquis were chatting aside, and Bai Ling was the only one leaning against the window looking at the lilac flowers outside.

After a while the gentlemen came out of the study, and then the eyes of the ladies turned to them.Sizern walked up to Bai Ling, "Why are you so engrossed?"

"I didn't see anything, I just thought the lilacs were blooming very lively."

The elf smiled: "I've never heard anyone use lively to describe the prosperity of flowers, but when you say it, you think you use this word really well. Maybe you should try writing poetry."

"Writing poetry? I'm not interested."

Of course, Bai Ling has learned poetry and songs, and occasionally he will share a poem or two with some fairies from the Yaozu who like elegance, but she is not very interested in it.

Catherine followed the elf prince with her eyes, and found that he was talking to Bai Ling again, so she was thinking of something to attract his attention.At this time, her sister Ophelia sat in front of the piano stand, played the piano and sang, and asked Angie to play the violin.

Angie picked up the violin and followed the young lady's tune and singing according to her request.Music and Ophelia's loud singing sounded, Angie and Ophelia's music level is quite high, and Ophelia's voice is also very moving.An Zi and Ye Qingqing stopped reading, and the Duchess also stopped to listen to their ensemble.

At the end of the song, the Duchess took the lead in applauding.

"Ophelia, my dear, your piano skills have improved again." Duke Charles kissed his daughter on the cheek.

Ophelia glanced at Angie shyly, and said, "Thanks to Angie for accompanying me!"

Angie said, "It's a piece of cake."

"How about Miss Bai Ling playing a piece too? A beauty like Miss Bai Ling must be versatile." Catherine said.

Bai Ling smiled and said: "I can't say that I'm versatile, but I know a little bit. However, I haven't appreciated Miss Catherine's piano skills yet, why don't I invite Miss Catherine first."

Catherine wished she could say: "If this is the case, I would rather be obedient than respectful."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, walked to the piano stand and sat down.She played "In the Night", a medieval piece whose author's name has been lost.Catherine's piano skills are far superior to her sister's. She studied under the great pianist Rui Rose, so she is very confident in her piano skills.After the song was over, everyone was intoxicated by her music.

Ye Qingqing clapped her hands and said in stammering lingua franca: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" Ye Qingqing was forced to learn the piano since she was a child, and her parents hired several piano teachers for her. According to her teacher, it was also at the professional level.Ye Qingqing is quite confident about her level, now seeing that Catherine is not much older than her, but clearly above her, she immediately feels admiration.

Others in the reception room also praised Catherine, and Catherine just looked at Sizern and saw him smiling at her, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.Then she looked at Bai Ling, "I'm showing my ugliness, Miss Bai Ling please!" She stood up and stepped aside.

Bai Ling and Sizern looked at each other, and under the latter's encouraging gaze, they walked to the piano and sat down.Her beautiful fingers rest on the black and white keys, and wonderful music flows from her fingertips.

The sound of the piano seems to make people see, the sad music is like the bright moonlight rippling on the lake, the wind is blowing gently, a small boat is wandering on the lake, from far away, far away, from the distant sky, it seems like A quiet voice suddenly rose from the invisible depths of the soul, the voice was melancholy and full of infinite melancholy, evoking a flood of memories.

"Moonlight", this is Beethoven's "Moonlight", Ye Qingqing has played this piece countless times by herself, and she recognized it immediately when Bai Ling played the first few notes.She has played this piece countless times, and she has heard her teachers play it countless times, but no one has ever played it so well as Bai Ling.

The sound of the piano like the moonlight echoed in her ears, and she thought of countless nights when she practiced this piece of music at home, how warm the night was, but now she is alone in a foreign country.Ye Qingqing was so immersed in the memories that she couldn't help but burst into tears.A white hand was stretched out in front of her, holding a handkerchief.It's An Zi.Ye Qingqing whispered, thank you.Looking around, everyone was brought into memory by Bai Ling's sad music.

Ghost struck the last note, and Sizern led the applause.Others also applauded one after another. Even the duke, mother and daughter who didn't like her had to admit that her piano skills were superb, not inferior to the current masters.

"Miss Bai Ling, it's really surprising. This piano skill is comparable to that of Master Reiros." The city lord praised.When he said that, Catherine was immediately very upset. Comparing Bai Ling with her teacher didn't mean that her piano skills were far from Bai Ling's, even if it was a fact.Catherine was also very annoyed when her father said that.She originally wanted to dampen Bai Ling's spirit, but instead it helped her.

"I haven't heard such a beautiful piano sound for a long time." Angie also said.

"Such a beautiful piece of music, I've never heard it before. Could it be a piece newly composed by Miss Bai Ling's teacher?" It was the Duchess' brother Marquis who was speaking. I don't know what he thought, but many people present thought so.With Bai Ling's superb piano skills, her teacher must be one of those famous people all over the world. This song is so moving but she has never heard it before. It must be a new composition by that master.They all guessed whether this style of music is Master Anovando or Master Leiden, and it is also possible that Master Gareth Feld.

The Marquis simply asked: "Is Miss Bai Ling's teacher Master Anovando?"

Bai Ling shook his head.

"Is that Master Layton?"

Bai Ling said: "This piece is called "Moonlight", and it is the work of Mr. Beethoven."

"Such a talented musician, how come his name has never been heard before."

Bai Ling seemed to mean something and said, "Probably Mr. Beethoven doesn't like to be in the limelight!"

The elves are originally a race that likes music, and Cizern immediately said: "Bai Ling, can you introduce me to this gentleman?"

Bai Ling shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't?"

"Doesn't this gentleman like the company of strangers?" It seemed common knowledge that geniuses often have eccentricities.

"Mr. Beethoven has been dead for many years."

Everyone present sighed, regretting not being able to see the master's demeanor.

The elf prince even sighed and said, "That's really a pity."

Seeing that he liked piano music so much, Bai Ling said, "Sizern, how about I play one for you?" After speaking, before he could answer, his fingers jumped on the black and white keys again.The melodious sound of the piano filled the room like mist, and drifted far and far with the wind.

It is Beethoven's "For Alice", Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up, there is a story about this piece, it is said that Beethoven taught a girl named Teresa Malfati when she was in her 40s student, and had a crush on her.In a very sweet and comfortable mood, he wrote a ditty "To Teresa" and presented it to her.It's just that when the score of this piece was published, the editor mistakenly wrote the title of the piece as "For Alice".Since then, people have forgotten the original name of "To Teresa", and called it "To Alice" or "To Alice".

"Fur Elise" consists of five stanzas.Made in simple rondo form, the structure is ABACA.The mood is sometimes gentle and friendly, and sometimes bright and light.Whether it's the elegant rondo theme with a touch of sadness, the first subtitle that reveals sweet longing, or the second subtitle with a gloomy harmonic sound that sees through the world, they are all quite pleasant to the ear.The whole song seems to hide Beethoven's sad love affair and longing for love.

Ye Qingqing practiced this piece when she was learning piano music for the first time. She didn't know that she had played this piece hundreds of times, and was praised by the teacher during the grade test. Now that Bai Ling played it, she felt that it was not as good as her. one.

The girl was sitting in front of the piano stand, her beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile, and she seemed to have a faint halo all over her body, clean and transparent like a descending angel.From time to time, she raised her head and smiled lightly when she touched the sight of the elf prince. Her smile was as pure as snow, as cool as the wind, as soft as the moonlight, and as serene as the sky.

"Dead fairy." An Zi whispered next to her, gritting her teeth, and Ye Qingqing smiled, as if she didn't understand why Bai Ling hated humans so much, and why An Zi hated fairies so much. Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen in "Liao Zhai", Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the White Snake", Kikyo and Inuyasha in "Inuyasha", well, it's far away.Even if these are false, can there only be a hostile relationship between demons and humans?

Ye Qingqing looked at Bai Ling's gaze towards Sizern, was that gaze really fake?Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Bai Ling likes Cizern!In Bai Ling's eyes, the elf prince has always been the only one.In fact, Sizern and Bai Ling are a good match, aren't they?
She looked at the people in the reception room. The Duke and Duchess and the Marchioness looked at each other's lovers and smiled knowingly, as if they had thought of something.Ophelia looked at Angie, but saw Angie bowing his head in thought.Only Catherine shook her fan violently, looking up at the elf prince and Bai Ling from time to time.

Sizern leaned against the window and closed his eyes.His long blond hair was blown by the wind, his handsome face was clean and elegant, and he stood there quietly like an oil painting.

After a long time, Bai Ling stopped.Looking up at him, the elf opened his eyes, Ye Qingqing didn't know if it was his illusion that the elf prince looked a little sad at this moment.Does the sound of the piano that Bai Ling confesses brings back the sad past of the elf prince?She looked at Bai Ling, the goblin was still smiling, she didn't seem to notice Sizern's sadness.This is really, alas!Ye Qingqing remembered a line from "Songs of the Yue People", "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king doesn't know it."

There was thunderous applause.
