Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 239 - 179: Unlike Those Who Only Care for the Princess
"Boss is amazing!"
"Truly worthy of being the boss!"
"Boss, we’re counting on you!"
Dark One suddenly became the hope of the entire village, so that night he immediately embarked on profound learning.
The title of the book to study: "The Self-Cultivation of a Green Tea Brother - Using Unorthodox Ways to Defeat Unorthodox Ways."
Despite the book’s excessively long title, which almost couldn’t fit on the cover, the content was highly profound.
Dark One often spent a long time understanding a single sentence.
For example, this sentence.
"Ah, brother is so fierce, unlike me, who only cares for sister."
Dark One thought for a while and translated it into something he could understand: Ah, Chi Yue is so fierce, unlike me, I only care for the Princess.
Great! That’s the spirit!
Dark One instantly felt confident, believing the days of leading his subordinates back to being the Princess’s foremost protector were just around the corner. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
So that night, Dark One’s room was filled with the scent of tea, and he perfectly translated the book’s knowledge into what he could comprehend.
"This is the last time we call you ’Your Highness,’ the maid sister doesn’t want to see us, we shall leave."
"We only wish to silently guard by Your Highness’s side, asking for nothing more."
"How can the maid sister be like this? If we could protect closely by Her Highness’s side, we would certainly cherish Her Highness."
Rumor has it that the next day, Dark One threw up his breakfast.
Meanwhile, Shen Jingxian narrowed down the search field and ten days later, finally somewhat understood the Second Prince’s odd attitude.
Probably because during the time her body was occupied, she had pushed the Second Prince into the water, then the Hidden Guard by the Second Prince’s side rescued him and was discovered for his true identity...
Is this how the storyline, although delayed, arrives?
Luckily, she had a hidden trump card prepared.
Moreover, the origin of the piano was also detailed in the Hidden Guard’s latest records; it was bought by the Second Prince from the Piano King, valued at ten thousand taels of silver!! The Second Prince hadn’t done anything to the piano after purchasing it.
This meant it was a perfectly clean piano.
But ever since Shen Jingxian saw this message, her mind was filled with only one thought.
Ten thousand taels?
Just for a broken piano, ten thousand taels???
No, a ten thousand tael piano is not a broken piano, it’s a great piano!
A ten thousand tael piano!! She had never played one in her life!
How exciting!
Shen Jingxian decided that during today’s piano lessons with the tutor, she would use the piano given by the Second Prince!
But instead of waiting for the tutor, she awaited Song Yan.
"Sister Song Yan? Why are you here?"
Song Yan met Shen Jingxian’s surprised gaze, saluted, and then calmly said, "The Empress has sent me to teach Her Highness to play ’Bell Chime’."
Shen Jingxian had deep experience with the difficulty of ’Bell Chime’ these past days.
She also knew, if it weren’t for genuine skill, the Empress wouldn’t send Song Yan to teach her piano, meaning Song Yan’s mastery surpassed that of the previous tutor.
The tutor said that in the world, only a few could play ’Bell Chime,’ and Song Yan was evidently one of them.
Truly the heroine! Able to excel in music while achieving top exam scores, unlike her, just a worthless person, boohoo.
Shen Jingxian tilted her head, suddenly curious about how Song Yan’s version of ’Bell Chime’ sounded, as all of Song Yan’s previous performances were full of emotion, touching regardless of meaning.
Although recently Shen Jingxian had been tirelessly memorizing ’Bell Chime,’ she couldn’t muster any feelings for this piece.
She thought it might be different if Song Yan played it.
Shen Jingxian dashed into the room, grabbed her ten-thousand-tael silver piano, and placed it in front of Song Yan, her eyes seemingly sparkling.
"Sister Song Yan, play a little."
Song Yan hesitated, feeling touched by the cuteness, resisted, and finally refrained from patting the Princess’s head.
This is the Princess; this is the Imperial Palace, not a place for someone of Secondary Fifth Rank to act casually.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Song Yan took the piano, gently plucking the strings twice. Before Shen Jingxian recovered from the sweet sound, Song Yan’s fingers were already flying across the strings, swift as lightning.
Indeed, it was recognizable as ’Bell Chime,’ yet it was twice as fast as the previous tutor’s!
Due to the extreme speed, the strings only showed a mere afterimage.
Shen Jingxian watched from the side, feeling as though the strings were bearing excessive pressure.
Finally, when Song Yan withdrew her hand, the strings let out a tragic sound and snapped, not just one, but all of them.
The ten-thousand-tael silver piano, without Shen Jingxian even touching it, met its end like this.
Shen Jingxian was stunned.
Song Yan calmly remarked, "The piece ’Bell Chime’ can’t be played on just any piano; this piano isn’t suitable. I’ve already prepared a new one for Her Highness."
Shen Jingxian: Oh oh! A new one!
