It must be said that Miss Hong's voice was exquisite. After the song was over, the melodious singing, with its rises and falls, echoed endlessly in the ethereal deep mountains, like the lingering sound around beams, causing everyone to savor it over and over, unable to extricate themselves!
Empress Dowager Mo greatly admired her and immediately took off a jade bracelet from her wrist to reward her. Hong Xiuju was flabbergasted by the Empress Dowager's favor as she accepted it, her cheeks flushing as she stealthily glanced at Nangong Yi, her admiration as a young maiden evident for all to see.
After Empress Dowager Mo had given her reward, she said to Nangong Yi, "I wonder what The Emperor plans to reward Miss Hong with?"
Nangong Yi said, "Just reward her with a hundred taels of gold, after all, she is the first one, and indeed she sang very well!"
