"Your Majesty." The middle-aged man sitting opposite Prince Ning disagreed: "It is not a good habit to be impatient. Even if the emperor appoints a prince, it does not mean that everything is safe. Aren't there many people who died young throughout the ages?"
"Now half of the people in the palace are emperors, and the secret passage into the palace is blocked. He presses me step by step, but he has gained a good reputation for generosity." King Ning sneered: "If this continues, When I sleep in the palace, I have to keep one eye open to feel at ease."
"Why don't you let the princess take care of it?"
"Princess Ning?" Looking out the window, his expression was extremely indifferent: "How can I count on a woman whose heart is not towards me?"
The middle-aged counselor frowned slightly, the princess came from the Lu family, how could she go against the family's wishes?
"Your Majesty." The counselor thought for a while: "The emperor is suspicious of you, we should divert the emperor's attention. You have forgotten that King Ni still has a child alive."
"You mean Marquis Gongping?" Prince Ning frowned: "He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to go out for the past two years. What about the emperor?" Can you notice him? "
"I heard that Marquis Gongping had insulted His Royal Highness in the past?" The counselor smiled half-heartedly: "It's not surprising that people do stupid things when they are in extreme fear. ”
The Caiyinfang at night is brightly lit and filled with laughter and laughter.
As today's birthday girl, Fuyi was surrounded by everyone and was forced to listen to her friends playing for her on the stage.
After finally waiting for them to finish playing in unison, Fuyi hurriedly waved: "Come down quickly, you guys will scare all the guests away."
The shop owner poured a glass of wine for Fuyi himself: "Dear ladies, gentlemen. male It is an honor for the slave family that you are willing to play here. Today is Miss Yun’s birthday. The slave family wishes you peace, good times, and longevity. "
"Thank you, master," he said. hand , holding the cup in his mouth and drinking the wine in the cup, he took out a hairpin from his arms and inserted it into the temple owner: "I saw this hairpin when I passed by today and thought it suited the owner very well. I wonder if the owner likes it?"
" Thank you Miss Yun. "The owner stroked the hairpin on his temples, with a bright smile on his face, and gave Fu Yi a blessing ceremony: "Today is a good day, I will play a song for Miss Yun."
"Okay! "Everyone clapped their hands and cheered.
"The master is partial, why didn't you play music on my birthday?"
"It's Fuyi who has weight in the master's heart after all."
The master listened to these ridiculing words and looked at Fuyi Yingying. With a smile, he took off his pipa and plucked the strings gently.
The cheerful tunes and bright candlelight are particularly moving at night.
Fuyi stood up and said to the booing people: "Come at me if you have any questions. Anyway, I am thick-skinned and I am not afraid of your jokes."
The shop owner was so amused by Fu Yi's words that he even plucked the wrong string twice.
While laughing, Fuyi saw a man covering his face with his sleeves and sneaking into the crowd, as if he was afraid that she would find him.
She turned over the table and chair, grabbed his sleeve and pulled it down.
"The old man?" She frowned and put down his sleeve: "It's you."
The second king and the third king rebelled. After the failure, they killed each other, and even the wife and children did not escape. Live a life of death. Only Suiyu was traveling elsewhere and was not in the capital. Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he not only saved his life, but also granted him a lowly marquis.
"What do you want to do? I didn't provoke you." Sui backed away at a loss, looking very timid.
Fu Yi remembers Sui Nian as a very flamboyant person, always holding his chin high when looking at people. The timid and timid young man now was completely different from the one she remembered.
Seeing Fuyi staring at him without saying a word, Suiyu looked pale, bowed his hands and said, "If there is any offense, I will apologize to the commander."
"You can go. "Fuyi had no intention of making things difficult for him, so he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Suiyu stopped her and said cautiously: "In the early years, I was not sensible and offended the Lord. Please don't take it to heart."
Fuyi turned around and looked at the once aloof prince of the palace: "Master Hou, you are worrying too much. Those were all ignorant fooling around when you were young. I have long forgotten them."
Sui Lian seemed to be relaxed. He took a breath, lowered his head and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd. A drunk person accidentally bumped into him, but he ignored it and instead walked faster with his neck scrunched up.
"Don't look at it." Sui Anying reached out and hooked Fuyi's neck: "His father committed a serious crime of treason. It is thanks to His Majesty's grace that he can save his life. How dare he go against you like he did back then? ?”
"You haven't been in the capital in the past few years, and you may still be a little unaccustomed to these changes. It will get better after a while." Sui Anying handed the wine glass to Fuyi: "Come, drink."
Success is king, failure is Kou, this has been the case since ancient times.
After the banquet was over and the night was already dark, Fuyi sat in the carriage, drinking the sobering tea that Xia Yu poured for her. She endured her drunkenness and said, "Is there anything unusual in Prince Ning's residence?"
"Miss, you can guess. Sure enough, today Prince Ning The vegetable farmers from other courtyards delivered vegetables to the palace, and it took two hours to leave the palace." Xia Yu asked: "He was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, so his appearance and figure could not be seen clearly."
"It's a pity. This person is extremely vigilant , I don’t dare to follow too closely.” Xia Yu was curious: “Miss, how can you tell at a glance that he is not a vegetable farmer?” ." Fuyi put the tea cup down. aside: “In the minds of these literati, farmers are just bamboo hats, straw sandals and coir raincoats, and they don’t care about the time and season at all.” of. The same goes for hats. Wearing this kind of thing while working makes your head stuffy and hot, so most of the time I don't wear it if I can.
What serious farmer would put these two things on his body on a sunny morning?
Don't ask her how she knows so clearly, she doesn't want to tell.
The sound of another carriage passing by was heard outside. Fuyi lifted the curtains of the carriage, and the person opposite happened to lift the curtains as well.
"Your Highness?" Fuyi stopped the carriage, lifted up his skirt and got out of the car to salute.
"Miss Yun, there is no need to be polite." Sui Tingheng stepped out of the carriage and smelled the faint smell of alcohol on Fu Yi: "Miss Yun, have you drank?"
"Today is my daughter's birthday, so I had two drinks with my friends." Fuyi looked at the Jin Wuwei who was following behind the prince's car: "It's so late, why is His Highness still outside the palace?"
"Taifu Lu is sick. I came to see him." Sui Tingheng smiled softly: "Today is the day when Miss Yun gives birth." "Chen, I should celebrate the girl."
"Your Highness has been busy recently, so he didn't forget to send me a birthday gift. My daughter was already very surprised." Fu Yi is very self-aware. , even if she had the merit of rescuing him, the fact that the prince could do this could be regarded as a favor to the hero.
"Those are just external things, and Miss Yun doesn't lack these." Sui Tingheng was good-looking, and his smile was even more charming: "I heard that the girl likes to listen to music, why don't I play a song to congratulate her? It’s the girl’s eighteenth birthday?”
Fuyi touched her face. How big is her face that the prince of a country condescends to play for her?
"I was presumptuous." Seeing that Fuyi didn't speak, Sui Tingheng lowered his eyelids: "Three years ago, I saw the emperor's uncle playing music for Miss Yun in Lihua Forest, and thought that the girl..." "Your Highness, it's not your fault. , but the minister was flattered and did not dare to answer." Fuyi drank. In front of Sui Tingheng, he felt more casual in getting along with friends: "But you must never mention Prince Ning in front of your daughter."
"Why?"
"Because of bad luck." Fuyi tilted his head, his eyes blurry with drunkenness.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Sui Tingheng stretched out his hand in front of her: "Can I ask the girl to get into the carriage with me?"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Thinking of the unidentified person in Ning Prince's Mansion, Fu Yi handed his hand to Sui Tingheng and followed him into the prince's car.
Sui Tingheng had only been the prince for a day, and the emperor couldn't wait to let him use everything the prince could use, which showed that he was well prepared.
The carriage soon stopped in front of Prince Li's Mansion. Sui Tingheng walked into one of the courtyards with Fu Yi. Although the decoration inside was simple, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were very elegant. One glance showed that the owner was very careful. Take care of.
“This is the courtyard where I used to live.” Sui Tingheng took a palace lantern from the palace attendant, “Although I have lived in the palace for the past two years, I still come here to visit occasionally.”< br>
The palace attendant brought hot tea and snacks. Sui Tingheng hung the palace lantern on the wooden stand, took out a jade flute from the room, and started playing it with gentle eyes.
The moonlight was bright and clear, Fuyi looked at the people standing in the courtyard, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was the beauty of the music or the beauty of the people.
Such an immortal figure, standing there doing nothing, is enough to move people's hearts, not to mention that he also plays music specially for himself.
Fuyi held his chin with one hand, his drunken eyes a little dazed.
At the end of the song, Sui Tingheng looked at the woman sitting at the table, his eyes entwined with the moonlight, seemingly filled with infinite tenderness.
"This song should only be played in heaven. I almost forgot that I was in the world of mortals." Fuyi praised sincerely: "There is really nothing in the world that your Highness can't do."
"Miss Yun, do you like to hear it?" Sui Tingheng sat down opposite her.
"I like it." Fu Yi nodded, "It would be disrespectful to come and go without coming back. My daughter also knows a few tunes. How about I play it for you?"
Xia Yu held down the whisk. Yi's hand: "Miss, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk." Fuyi waved his hand: "Your Highness, please give me a pipa."
Xia Yu watched the palace attendant take the pipa and presented it to Fuyi, the smile on his face could no longer be held. , winking at Qiu Shuang crazily, sister, think of a way.
Qiu Shuang closed her eyes silently.
There is no hope, just wait for death.
Dang-dang-dang-dang.
The pipa music was playing, and the tune was intermittent and chaotic. It was really difficult for people to hear what kind of music it was.
Xia Yu secretly looked at the prince's face, only to see the prince's gentle eyes, a smile on his lips, and no trace of disgust on his face.
The adults in their family have made great contributions, and the prince has such a good temper. Facing this kind of music, I can smile tenderly.
"Your Highness, how did your daughter play?" After playing the song, Fu Yi felt a little unfinished.
“It sounds good.” Sui Tingheng took out a piano and asked, “Me and Miss Yun will play a song together?”
“Okay.” Fuyi’s eyes were clear, “Let’s play another song. "
Qiu Shuang opened her eyes silently. The prince is a good prince, but his taste is a little strange.
"Your Majesty, the ambush failed." A man in black jumped down from the beam and knelt in front of Prince Ning.
"What's going on?" Prince Ning's expression remained unchanged: "Has Sui Tingheng been prepared?"
The man in black looked strange: "That's not the case. We have been waiting for two hours tonight. , the prince didn’t even pass there, and his subordinates were worried that our people would be discovered, so they had no choice but to evacuate.”
< br>"That is the only way back to the palace from Lu Mansion. How could Sui Tingheng not pass by there?" Prince Ning frowned slightly: "What happened on the way?"
"The prince returned On the way to the palace, I met... Yun Fuyi. For some reason, they went to Qiandi together."
After hearing the words Yun Fuyi, Prince Ning was silent for a moment: "What did they do in the Prince's Mansion?"
"They didn't do anything important..."
"Say!"
Man in black: "Two people...two people playing music together."
Prince Ning's face was as dark as ink.
The man in black lowered his head, saying that he didn't do anything important, but you insist on asking, you insist on asking.
It’s fine now, it’s really heartbreaking.

The author said: Sui Tingheng: Don’t ask, asking is happiness, asking again means you don’t understand music.
