Rong Zhao was furious by Zhao Mu's eyes, so he had to take the teacup in his hand to drink water. Zhao Mu had already turned around and walked in front of Xiao Xun, stretched out his hands, and said, "Second brother, borrow the piano." ”

Xiao Xun has always respected Zhao Mu as the prince, and Zhao Mu has never called Xiao Xun like this on weekdays, Xiao Xun was a little uncomfortable for a while, and before he could react, he gave Zhao Mu the guqin in his arms.

Zhao Mu took the piano and turned to everyone and smiled: "Today, this king also presents an ugly song for everyone." ”

"Great!" Xiao Yunxin applauded first.

"Then there is Lord Lao." Gu Chen hurriedly thanked him, "It's still my little sister who has a big face, and whoever of us is the east on weekdays, please don't move the great god of the prince." ”

"Nonsense, you celebrated your birthday last year, and we all went to celebrate your birthday together, didn't my cousin play a song?" Xiao Yunxin immediately revealed the short.

"Haha, Miss Xiao, Sister Xiao, just spare me."

"Who's your sister!" Xiao Yunxin glanced at Gu Chen and turned around.

"You two don't know what enmity you had in your last life, so you quarrel when you meet." Gu Mingxuan looked left and right, got up and sat down to thank Zhao Mu Yifu first, "There is Lord Lao, Mingxuan is worried in his heart." ”

"You don't have to mind, I'm just acting for Rong Zhao." Zhao Mu smiled slightly and glanced at Rong Zhao behind him, "He didn't sleep well last night, and his voice is still a little hoarse, so let him drink some tea and rest." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this—no matter how good a man is to another man, no matter how much he appreciates it, no matter how much he relies on it, there is no such thing? This is clearly ...... The word "pet" was held between everyone's lips and teeth, and when they all endured it and didn't spit it out, the sound of the piano suddenly started, which was the song "Liang Zhu" that Rong Zhao sang just now.

Just now, Rong Zhao told Gu Mingxuan and others the story of Liang Zhu, saying that Zhu Yingtai went to study with him because he liked Liang Shanbo, and the two of them went to study with him in the same clothes, and the two of them went to study side by side with their classmates for three years.

Everyone present was moved by this poignant story, but no one could appreciate the deep meaning of Rong Zhao like Zhao Mu. Why would he tell such a story at this time to tell everyone? Women dressed as men, read with classmates, and sent them to ......

This qiē is just a fictional story for everyone, but it is so real for Zhao Mu, especially this song, which touches his heart more deeply than the story. Therefore, the feeling he played was very different from Xiao Xun's qin, Gu Mingxuan's flute, and Rong Zhao's song. The deep love and the pain of love expressed by his piano infect everyone, as well as Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao has always thought that he does not understand the profound art of music - a pharmacist who deals with numbers all day long is not only a hundred and eight thousand miles away from art? His artistic cells are also limited to his love for "Liang Zhu" and his disdain and use of this legend.

However, at this time, he leaned on the couch and pinched the teacup and looked at Zhao Mu's silhouette motionless, thinking about nothing, just deeply sad.

In fact, Rong Zhao is still good like this, and then look at Xiao Yunxin on the other side who is already in tears, Gu Mingxuan's eyes are also full of tears, and Gu Chen, Xie Yi, Xiao Xun either turned his face away and quietly wiped his tears or lowered his head and didn't dare to be seen.

The sound of the piano ceased slowly, and there was no sound in the courtyard except for the wind and the chirping of birds.

After a long time, Rong Zhao sat up straight, sighed and said, "Alas! Originally, I wanted to show off, but I didn't expect to let the prince steal the limelight, so I can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade? ”

This light sigh brought everyone's thoughts back, and everyone either quietly wiped their tears with a handkerchief, or covered up their feelings by drinking tea and eating, in short, they all began to work.

Zhao Mu turned his head to look at Rong Zhao and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what? What is there to thank. Rong Zhao smiled nonchalantly, stretched out his hand and handed over a cup of tea, "Well, just now the prince sent me a cup of tea, this time I'll bring it to you." ”

Zhao Mu took the tea with a smile, took a sip gently, and said, "Thank you." ”

"Hah! What do you see these two people? Live a pair of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai! Xie Yi said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Xiao Yunxin was the first to react and immediately reprimanded Xie Yi: "What nonsense are you talking about!?" ”

Gu Mingxuan also glared at Xie Yi, and said unhappily, "What are you talking about?" Be careful that the prince is angry, and Prince Rong scolds you! ”

The prince was not angry, and Rong Gongzi did not scold. Things were brought over in this way, and no one was reborn.

The maids brought hot wine and food up to everyone one by one, and everyone began to push the cups and change the lamps. Xie Qi, the daughter of the Xie family, took the piano to cheer everyone up, which won everyone's applause. So the atmosphere was better, and Gu Chen, Xie Yi and others began to leave the table to toast each other.

Rong Zhao couldn't arouse his interest, he got up with a glass of wine and went to the back, he walked alone to look for flowers, unconsciously turned to the backyard, and felt that the wine was on his head, and he happened to see a stone bench under a begonia tree, so he simply sat down.

The wine in the cup had been drunk, Rong Zhao held the empty wine glass in his hand and turned it boringly, lowering his head to carefully play with the carvings on the green jade wine glass.

At this time, the noise and excitement belong to the front yard, and the begonia will not disturb the tranquility for a moment without fragrance, Rong Zhao has no thoughts and nothing to think about, and stays quietly alone.

"Young Master Rong?" A soft voice interrupted the silence.

Rong Zhao looked up and saw Gu Mingxuan, who was wearing a light orange skirt, smiling and standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry to disturb your peace." Gu Mingxuan smiled and said, "But I have a few questions I want to ask you, and when today's banquet is over, it won't be so convenient to talk to you again, so ......"

Rong Zhao smiled and leaned aside, patted his side, and said, "Sit." ”

Gu Mingxuan's face suddenly became hot, but he didn't twist it, but lifted his skirt and stepped forward to sit beside Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao originally thought that Gu Mingxuan would be awkward, but he didn't expect her to be so generous and defenseless against herself, and her heart was also full of emotion for a while, she turned her head to look at Gu Mingxuan's side face, and smiled: "If you have any questions, just ask." After drinking your good wine today, I promise you one thing - I know everything about you, and I can say everything. ”

Gu Mingxuan smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will also ask boldly with a little bit of wine." ”

"Hmm, ask." Rong Zhao said with a smile.

"You and His Royal Highness King Rui, you ......" Gu Mingxuan is a girl after all, and some words are always embarrassed to say.

However, Rong Zhao immediately understood, so he smiled and said, "It's a good brother." After speaking, in order to increase the credibility of his words, he added: "I met when I was in Xiliang, and later we drank and chatted together, and we were more able to talk." After coming to the capital, he was the only person I knew well, so I got closer to him. ”

"But...... His Royal Highness King Rui's concern for you seems to have gone beyond that between brothers......" Gu Mingxuan frowned and sighed, "Alas! Forget it, it's really awkward to talk to others, I'll just say it directly, Yun Xin's girl decided that there was that kind of ambiguous ambiguous relationship between you and His Royal Highness King Rui, so she was full of resentment towards you, but I didn't think you were that kind of person, so I couldn't help but ask you. ”

Rong Zhao chuckled and said: "King Rui and I met in Xiliang City, we weren't too familiar with each other when we were in Xiliang, and we only drank wine together twice. But I came to Shangjing City and was repeatedly frustrated, but I had no relatives and only King Rui, a person who can be regarded as a friend, so I had to take refuge in him, and he also took care of me with the friendship of knowing me, and then he was accidentally poisoned, and it happened that the Ziji girl next to me knew how to detoxify and saved him, so we went closer. If this is ambiguous, I have nothing to say. ”

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and I'll give it to Yun Xin when I go back." Gu Mingxuan chuckled.

"However, if you explain to Miss Xiao like this, will she believe it?" Rong Zhao asked with a smile.

Gu Mingxuan thought about it, then shook his head with a smile: "Indeed." Just like the two of you just now, even I was a little misunderstood-if it weren't for the fact that Prince Rui was a person who did great things, I'm afraid everyone would have doubted it. ”

Rong Zhao smiled and didn't speak, Zhao Mu's appearance just now was indeed too much, and he had to clean up this trouble when he turned around.

"Young Master Rong, I take the liberty of asking you, can you not be angry?" Gu Mingxuan said, his face suddenly flushed.

Rong Zhao looked at her like this and guessed a few points, so he said: "Ask, I know everything about you today, and I can't say anything." ”

Gu Mingxuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Do you really not mean that to King Rui?" ”

Rong Zhao looked at Gu Mingxuan's black and white eyes, this was a simple but not stupid girl, her honesty was impossible to refuse.

Gu Mingxuan looked at Rong Zhao smiling and was silent, feeling a little apprehensive.

"Nope." Rong Zhao finally shook his head.

Gu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief gently, and a burst of joy swelled in his heart, I don't know if it was because Rong Zhao's calm answer was not angry, or because of the two words in the answer itself.

Looking at the relieved look of the girl in front of him, Rong Zhao felt like a shameless thief, and his heart was weak for a while.

"Rong Gongzi, the slang song you sang just now doesn't look like a Western cool song at all, it shouldn't be a slang song from Western Xinjiang, right?" Gu Mingxuan asked again.

This time it was Rong Zhao's turn to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he leaned over slightly, and said: "I listened to a senior in the rivers and lakes sing, I was moved by that story at the beginning, so I decided to learn this tune." I'm almost an idiot when it comes to music, and you don't know how hard I worked to learn it! Fortunately, although the singing is not good, but fortunately, the story is touching, plus Xiao Gongzi and Mingxuan girl, you two masters help me carry it, otherwise I will make a fool of myself today. ”

"Rong Gongzi is polite. Originally, Yun Xin was wrong. As the host, I can't let your guest of honor be dissatisfied. Gu Mingxuan shook his head with a smile.

"What a good girl." Rong Zhao did not hesitate to praise Gu Mingxuan.

Gu Mingxuan's face turned red again, and he said shyly: "Young Master Rong has won the award." ”

"What's the problem? Take this opportunity today to ask as well. Rong Zhao looked at Gu Mingxuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and smiled.

“…… Without. Gu Mingxuan said in a low voice.

"Well, you're done with your question, now it's my turn to ask you?" Rong Zhao raised his long eyebrows, and his tone was a little funny.

"Huh? Do you have a question for me? Gu Mingxuan asked in surprise.

"Of course, isn't there such a sentence that says, My Fair Lady and Gentleman are good, I think you are the best girl in the entire Shangjing City, so I want to ask Miss Mingxuan who she has ever had a baby kiss with since she was a child?" Rong Zhao asked with a grin.

Gu Mingxuan's heart was inexplicably tense when he heard this, and he just shook his head, but suddenly saw Rong Zhao's eyes full of playful and sadistic meaning, so he immediately reacted that this guy was joking with himself, so he raised his hand and slapped him on him, and said, "It's not serious!" Actually tell such a joke. ”

"Alas! That's really serious. Rong Zhao smiled, a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, "You don't know how much I want to ask you to be my partner." It's just a pity! ”

Gu Mingxuan's spring heart was stirred up by Rong Zhao's first half of the sentence, and then the following sentence was like a big stone smashed over, which broke people's hearts.

"Pity? Why? Gu Mingxuan's voice was filled with irrepressible sadness.

Rong Zhao turned his head to look at the beautiful girl beside him, and asked slowly: "You say, what is the purpose of wishing Yingtai to disguise herself as a man and go to study with Liang Shanbo?" ”

"Because she likes Liang Shanbo! It's worth doing anything for the sake of someone you love. ”

"But what did she get?" Rong Zhao asked again.

Gu Mingxuan was silent, only feeling the infinite pain in his heart, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent.

"Mingxuan, love, there are many kinds, the love of men and women, the love of parents, the love of brothers and sisters, the love of friends, you say, which one is the best?"

Gu Mingxuan took a deep breath, looked at a blooming begonia flower in front of him, and said: "The love between men and women is floating and elusive, the love of parents is innate and eternal, brothers and sisters are the same root and are precious in supporting each other, and the love of friends is casual and indifferent, coming and going, and each other is just sympathetic because of like-minded interests, less family, interests and other mundane things, it is more rare and more precious." ”

"Look, I'm not wrong. You are the best girl in the capital. Rong Zhao once again praised Gu Mingxuan with the word "best".

"Seriously, you're here again." Gu Mingxuan frowned.

"I'm serious, too. The sage said that only villains and women are difficult to raise. Do you know why? Rong Zhao smiled and looked at Gu Mingxuan's eyes, and he found that his favorite was Gu Mingxuan's eyes.

Gu Mingxuan thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "I think, probably because the sage thinks that women are short-sighted and always like to pester." ”

"No, that's because the saint thinks that women lack the heroism of men." Rong Zhao said seriously, "Imagine if a woman is heroic, she will definitely have a unique life pattern, this pattern is mind, affection, and aura." Then her life will be magnificent, deep, beautiful, free and detached. And you are such a good girl with heroic spirit. ”

"So what? What do you want to say? Gu Mingxuan asked.

Rong Zhao pursed his lips and smiled: "What I really want to say is that you are the best girl, you are a person who can be compared to a gentleman, you must marry someone who truly loves you and only loves you." You have to be happy all your life. ”

Although this is an excellent sentence, if it was just as a friend, Gu Mingxuan would definitely cry with joy because of this sentence. However, at this moment, Gu Mingxuan was indeed in tears, but not because of joy.

Rong Zhao watched Gu Mingxuan silently shed two lines of tears, and asked in surprise, "Huh?" Why are you still crying? ”

Gu Mingxuan turned his face away and wiped the tears from his cheeks with the back of his hand, took a deep breath, turned his head and said, "Do you know that what I want to hear is not like this?" What I want to hear is ......"

"Mingxuan." Rong Zhao hurriedly stretched out his fingers and pressed them on Gu Mingxuan's lips.

Gu Mingxuan was suddenly dumbfounded, and only looked at Rong Zhao blankly.

"Mingxuan, I'm not suitable." Rong Zhao said softly.

"Why?" Gu Mingxuan's tears were about to fall again.

"I have a secret that involves the lives of hundreds of people, and I can't harm you." Rong Zhao shook his head and said.

"What's the secret?" Gu Mingxuan asked.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to know." Rong Zhao looked at Gu Mingxuan's misty teary eyes and couldn't bear it after all, so he took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Only then did Gu Mingxuan realize that she didn't bring a handkerchief, a girl had a man's handkerchief at home, which somewhat made her famous lady a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's clean." Rong Zhao handed it forward again, "Wipe away your tears and listen to me tell me this secret." Are you afraid? ”

Gu Mingxuan looked at Rong Zhao's peach blossom eyes that were dyed by the spring light, his heart was crossed, he stretched out his hand and pulled the handkerchief, and said, "What is there to be afraid of?" If you dare to speak, I will dare to listen. ”

*

Not far away, behind a thick apricot tree, Zhao Mu stood there for a long time, the fist in his sleeve clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and his palms were already full of sweat. When he looked for him, Gu Mingxuan was still talking to Rong Zhao with a smile, and when he was hesitating whether to walk over and interrupt the two of them, Gu Mingxuan suddenly cried, so he didn't go over and just waited here.

At this distance, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, and he could only guess what they were saying through the expressions of the two people, and based on this alone, Zhao Mu dared to conclude that Rong Zhao liked Gu Mingxuan from the bottom of his heart. Especially when he saw Rong Zhao handing his handkerchief to Gu Mingxuan, Zhao Mu couldn't help but scold Rong Zhao from the bottom of his heart, this little bastard with no conscience, the handkerchief was customized for him by telling Mama Song to go to the Royal Embroidery Village.

"Why is the prince standing here?" Gu Chen came all the way from behind and asked curiously.

Zhao Mu glanced back and said with a light smile: "It's nothing." ”

"Huh? Isn't that Rong Zhao and Ming Xuan? How did the two of them hide there and talk? Gu Chen said, and he was about to go forward. After all, my sister and a man sit side by side and talk not very good-looking, although this man is the son-in-law that the Gu family has taken a fancy to, but the marriage is always the order of the parents. Besides, Rong Zhao still has an indescribable relationship with King Rui now, and the Gu family is hindered by this, so I am afraid that I will have to make other plans.

"Gu Chen." Zhao Mu grabbed Gu Chen and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't go over." ”

"Why?" Gu Chen looked at Zhao Mu in wonder, thinking to himself, don't you have that kind of mind for Rong Zhao? Why else did you stand here for so long?

"They seem to be talking about something very important, so let's not bother." Zhao Mu said as he pulled Gu Chen back.

"Yes...... What important things could the two of them have to say! Gu Chen frowned. Although the defense of men and women in the Great Qi Dynasty is not so rigorous, young men and women like Rong Zhao and Gu Mingxuan always have to avoid it, not to mention that Gu Chen has already seen that the relationship between Zhao Mu and Rong Zhao is different, and he does not allow his sister to fall too deep.

"Gu Chen, can't you still trust this king?" Zhao Mu chuckled and asked rhetorically.

Gu Chen smiled embarrassedly, and asked Zhao Mu: "Lord Wang, are you really relieved?" ”

Zhao Mu naturally understood what Gu Chen meant, in fact, if it weren't for the joke he had just made at the banquet, he would have interrupted the two people over there at this time, but when he was asked by Gu Chen at this time, he was not worried - Rong Zhao is a daughter, what can one girl do to another?

"Naturally reassuring. Listen to this king, don't worry. Zhao Mu said firmly.

Gu Chen was still hesitant, but Zhao Mu was very persistent, so he pulled Gu Chen back and gave Huo Yun and Mei Ruo beside him a look, asking the two of them to stay here and guard.

Back at the banquet, Zhao Mu and Gu Chen were inevitably pulled by everyone to toast.

Zhao Mu only turned around to lean on the couch to eat on the grounds that his body was not supported and he couldn't drink more, and Xiao Yunxin took the opportunity to come over and chat with him.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Zhao Mu thought that it would be better to take this opportunity to explain her mind to Xiao Yunxin, saving her life, so when she didn't know how many times Xiao Yunxin peeled pine nuts for herself, Zhao Mu opened her mouth lightly: "Yunxin, although you and I are cousins and grew up together, after all, men and women are different." It's good that you do this in front of these relatives and friends, but if people outside see it, I'm afraid they will make irresponsible remarks. ”

"Whoever likes to talk about it, let them say it, their mouths grow on other people's bodies, and we can't go to plug them." Xiao Yunxin smiled nonchalantly, "I just need your cousin to understand me alone." ”

Zhao Mu sighed in frustration, thinking that it would be useless to reason with the detour in front of him, it would be better to be straightforward, so he said, "Yun Xin, I already have a sweetheart." I don't like you, and you won't be happy if you marry me. ”

"......" Xiao Yunxin was blowing pine nuts, and when she heard this, she suddenly blew out and forgot to close her eyes, and a thin skin of pine nuts entered her eyes, she threw pine nuts to cover her eyes, and tears flowed down.
