Four-handed bombs!

 This is a very advanced form of performance in the piano, where two people sit on the same piano to perform.

 In four-hand playing, the rhythm and mood of the two performers need to be in perfect harmony, otherwise the appeal and expressiveness will be greatly reduced, and there may even be a lot of uncoordinated noises.

In the previous life, due to difficulty, there were not many repertoires for four-hand playing, but with its beautiful melody, rich expressiveness, unique playing method and artistic charm, it left a very deep impression on the majority of music lovers.

.

In this world, music masters are rare, and there are even fewer people who can master the four-handed playing.

Solandel has a photographic memory of music scores and has memorized the melody of "To the Little Princess". She will definitely have no problem playing it herself.

 But she still felt a little guilty when she wanted to play four-hands with Chino, fearing that she would not perform well and destroy the beauty of the piece.

Chino placed his hands on the right side of the piano, his demeanor was full of the elegance of an artist, and asked softly: "Are you ready?"

 Solandel took a deep breath to calm herself down and nodded heavily.

 “Three, two, one, start.”

　　The two people’s fingers started to dance on the piano, and a beautiful and ethereal melody slowly floated out.

 At the beginning, because she was not used to four-hand playing, Solandel made several wrong notes. She suddenly became nervous. When she became nervous, she made more and more wrong notes, and her face flushed with anxiety.

Soon, Kino removed one hand from the keys and played quickly with only his right hand. His left hand gently went around Solandel's back and put it on her shoulder, giving her silent encouragement.

The temperature in Kino's palm was like the sun melting the snow. Solandel's nervousness was quickly dissipated, and she slowly entered into a playing state, perfectly keeping up with Kino's rhythm.

The piece "To the Little Princess" does not have too many complex and gorgeous structures. At first glance, it only sounds gentle. But if you taste it carefully, you will find that the rondo tunes are perfectly connected, clear and warm, and blended with water-like tenderness.

In addition, the song itself has a kind of vague sadness, as if it wants to awaken the deepest affection in people's memory. As long as you close your eyes, you can think of the moonlight as quiet as water, and standing in the sky.

Girl smiling under the moon.

At this moment, not only the court musicians were mesmerized by the music, but also many guests were infected by the melody of "To the Little Princess". Even an old man like Burton couldn't help but close his eyes and nod gently along with the melody.

 With perfect harmony, the sound of the piano ends.

Solandel was still immersed in the aftertaste of the music. She slowly raised her head and looked at Kino, her eyes seemed to have turned into autumn water, full of longing light.

Kino smiled and looked at Perseus, his eyes seeming to ask: Who do you think plays well?

Perseus was rendered speechless and didn't know how to answer.

 Fortunately, Kino has a high emotional intelligence. He uses his eyes instead of words, and has already left a step for Perseus.

Perseus didn’t have to give any answer, he just needed to applaud the two of them and thank them for their wonderful performance.

 In this way, with the melody of "To the Little Princess", the banquet came to an end.

 …

 The next day, the old year came to an end, the almanac turned a page, and we came to the 513th year of the Huoyao calendar. The snow-returning season has quietly left and entered the dew-dropping season.

 At the beginning of the new year, there is still a frosty atmosphere in the weather, but as the temperature slowly rises, the ice and snow will turn into dew and drip down, hence the name "dettol".

 In the early morning of the 1st day of Dettol, Kino got up early and was enjoying breakfast cooked by the palace chef.

The royal family's breakfast was noble and exquisite, and the ingredients used were all carefully selected and extremely high-quality, but Kino still missed the honey oat bread from the past.

 After breakfast, Kino happened to meet Solandelle and Lorna while walking in the garden.

Solandel jumped up to Kino and waved her little hand happily: "Happy New Year! Do you want to go out with us?"

Chino: “What do you mean by going out to play?”

"Go out of the palace and play in the city! On the first day of the new year, I really don't want to be bored at home. I begged my father for a long time before he agreed to let me go out." Solandel was so excited that she kept jumping up and down, "You too

How about we come together?"

 Lorna tugged on Solandel's sleeve and whispered: "I don't even know this person, don't take him with you."

Solandel smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Kino is my friend, and you are also my friend. We all only need to play once to get to know each other!"

Chino smiled: "If you don't mind, you might as well take me with you. I'm very interested in life in the royal city."

“I don’t mind, I don’t mind, let’s go!” Solandel grabbed their hands, cheered and ran outside.

As soon as the three of them left the giant wall of the royal city, a figure suddenly followed them from behind.

Lorna looked back and complained angrily: "Hey, why are you following me?"

The one who followed was none other than the chief royal guard, Dinisha. She looked like she had not woken up, and her head moved slowly: "Hey... the queen was worried about the safety of the ninth princess, so she asked me to follow her.

Really, I didn’t sleep well on the first day of the new year..."

Lorna snorted: "No need! As long as I'm here, what danger will you encounter? I've defeated you 69 times. It's enough for me to protect Solan!"

"Okay, okay, you're good, aren't you?" Dinisha scratched the back of her head sleepily and said feebly, "Lorna, let's discuss something."

"you say."

"You young people definitely don't want me, a 29-year-old woman, to follow you when you are playing. Besides, there is nothing dangerous in the royal city, and we are not going to other provinces. In this case, I will find a place to sleep, and you can go and have fun on your own.

.But when you return to the palace, you have to tell Queen Catherine that I will protect you the whole time. I don’t want to have my salary deducted."

Not to mention how happy Lorna was: "Deal! That's it!"

 “Let’s go, see you later.” Denisa yawned, turned into a black shadow and flashed past, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Chino was speechless: "This person is too casual..."

“Hey, no one is following you, you can play freely!” Solandel held Kino in her left hand and Lorna in her right hand. She didn’t even sit in the carriage and ran towards the neighborhood with cheers.

 The Royal City is very prosperous during the New Year, with a dazzling array of neighborhoods and surprisingly many pedestrians. They may be friends of the same age, laughing and playing in groups; or they may be a happy family, going in and out of various stores to make purchases.

  New Year celebrations are also in full swing. The high priest and professional dancers of the Royal City, wearing masks of the nine gods, are dancing on the lantern car, causing cheers from passers-by from time to time.

Solandel dragged the two of them through the neighborhood. They were all wearing casual clothes today, so they did not cause a sensation, but their exquisite looks inevitably attracted attention, and you could feel envious glances from time to time.

Solandel had been living in seclusion in the palace all year round, and now she was like a little bird coming out of its cage, not to mention how happy she was. She ran to a stall, paid for a Sun King mask, put it on her face, and jumped around in front of the two of them.
