Tantai Yinxue had clearly taken great care with her appearance, from her hair down to her boots—every detail meticulously arranged. Holding a guqin in her arms, she moved gracefully like a fairy stepping out of the moonlight.
Her shimmering gaze fell upon Li Yuanjing, and only then did she seem to notice Shen Wei beside him. She quickly curtsied. "This humble one greets Noble Consort Shen."
Shen Wei praised, "Truly worthy of being a daughter of the Tantai Family. Your guqin performance was exquisite."
Li Yuanjing's eyes darkened abruptly.
The mention of the "Tantai Family" by Shen Wei reminded him of the desperate struggles the clan had been making in court recently—a collapsing dynasty, fighting tooth and nail to salvage their family's prestige.
What had once been elegant, celestial music now seemed unbearable and repulsive in Li Yuanjing's eyes.
