When Qi Zi walked out of the dark and damp prison, the sunlight was a little dazzling, and he stretched out his finger to block it.

"Hey!"

He turned his head, and it was Princess Yongle who was waiting with the horse on the side, not planning to take care of it, and walked straight forward.

"Mi Zi!"

Princess Yongle chased after her: "How can I say that I also saved you from the prison, I didn't even thank you, it's too much." ”

"I didn't let you save me. Mi Zi muttered quietly and turned around impatiently, "Thank you princess for making a move, what about Jiang Liu?"

"Jiang Liu?"

"Where's she?"

Princess Yongle thought for a moment before she realized who Jiang Liu he was talking about, and looked at him meaningfully with her hands: "What are you looking for her?" She is the seventh lady of King Qi's mansion, and now she must be by my second brother's side." ”

"Naturally, I thanked her, what else could it be. Qi Zi said lightly, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stop!"

Mi Zi turned around and sighed helplessly: "What else does the princess have to say?"

Yongle threw something carefully wrapped in cloth to Mi Zi, he took it, opened it, and inside was a slightly faded Monkey King doll.

"Remember why we fought when we first met? This is what I snatched from you back then. Yongle smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect that because of this incident, you would hate me for so many years." ”

When he left the palace of Southern Chu and came to Northern Xia as a hostage, his mother gave him this doll before he left, telling him that when he was afraid, he had this doll with him, just like his parents guarding him, helping him drive away his fear and give him strength.

But on the first night of coming to Northern Xia, he was robbed.

He looked at the doll, remembered his father and mother, and carefully touched the doll, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more lonely and bitter.

I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown and my parents.

"I didn't understand it at the time, and I'll give it back to you now. Yongle looked down at the ground, rubbing one foot on the ground.

"There are some things that are most needed at a certain age, and once they have passed, they are just a thing. Qi Zi said sarcastically, "Of course, the princess has not lost anything since she was a child, so naturally she won't understand." ”

"I lost my mother, and my mother left very early. Yongle said stubbornly, "I...... Next month is my eighteenth birthday. ”

"I didn't have a birthday present for you. ”

"My father has already mentioned the matter of choosing a horse several times. Yongle still looked down at the ground, "My mother is from the Western Regions, so several ministers suggested that they marry me to the Western Regions to make peace with them, in exchange for their loyalty, and when the Northern Xia and Western Wei went to war, they could also exchange for high-quality horses and weapons." As a princess, it is right to dedicate myself to my country, but I am not reconciled...... Mi Zi, I want you to say a word......"

"I don't have anything to say to you. Qi Zi said coldly, "Who do you marry and what does it have to do with me?

When the words fell, Mi Zi turned around and walked away.

Princess Yongle didn't open her mouth to stop her, there was a loss of rejection on her face, and a faint self-deprecation, but she didn't have any intention of giving up, she was still arrogant and confident: "Mi Zi, let's just wait and see!"

Autumn Water Garden.

A burst of intermittent and incoherent piano sounds came, Liu Xu showed some doubts on his face, called a maidservant girl and asked, "Who is playing the piano?"

"It's the girl who plays again. The maid replied, "Today, the girl didn't know where to find a piano score, so she asked Mama Shen to go to the treasury to ask for a piano and tinker with it herself!"

Liu Xu followed the sound of the piano inside, only to see Mo Ziyu with an old piano on the desk, and she was busy trying to adjust the sound while flipping through the piano score.

There is sandalwood burning on the side, and it seems that some other spices have been added to it, which is very quiet and contemplative.

Although he had been coming to Qiushui Garden a lot recently, he had never looked at the room carefully. It turns out that all the bells and whistles are gone, and it looks a little empty, and a few accessories have been added, which looks simple and has a unique flavor when matched.

The room, like her owner, has been completely transformed.

"Do you still know how to play the piano?" Liu Xu walked up with his hands in his hands, looking at Mo Ziyu's movements, there was no superfluous expression on his face, and the doubts in his eyes were also well hidden.

"No, it won't. Mo Ziyu squatted on the ground, fiddling with a string, "I turned out a piano sheet today, and I suddenly became interested and wanted to try it, but there seems to be some problems with this piano, I haven't tuned the pitch well for a long time, I'm afraid that the concubine doesn't have this talent!"

As she spoke, she got up and smiled at Liu Xu: "The prince has been out for several days, but it is still smooth?"

"Everything went well. Liu Xu said and sat behind the desk, and shook the strings, "This piano is too old, if you like it, this king will let you send a good piano." ”

"Don't!" Mo Ziyu smiled faintly: "The concubine can't play the piano, and a good piano is also a tyrannical thing when it comes to the concubine's hand! ”

"Fuqin can cultivate sentiment, if you are interested, this king will teach you personally!" Liu Xu tried the tone of each string, adjusted it one by one, and after feeling that there was no problem with the pitch, he stretched out his hand towards Mo Ziyu and said softly, "Come here, try it." ”

Mo Ziyu sat down in front of the piano and plucked a few strings.

Liu Xu stretched out his hand from behind, changed her whole person in his arms, grabbed her hand, instructed her to stroke the qin, and whispered in her ear: "This is the correct posture." ”

Mo Ziyu secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xu, only to see that he was concentrating on stroking the qin, his side face was as handsome as jade, and there was no superfluous expression, and his amber eyes were glowing with a faint and soft light.

Every time you pluck the strings, it is as if you have plucked the heartstrings, and there are ripples on the calm surface of the lake.

"Be attentive. Liu Xu said next to her ear, and the heat all got into her ear, "Can you remember?"

Mo Ziyu's ears turned pale pink, and he nodded lightly: "Remember." ”

"When I entered the palace today, I met Yongle, and she asked me to take you to the Yellow Crane Tower another day. Liu Xu said, "Yongle said that you have done a lot of work this time!"

Mo Ziyu's eyes turned slightly, and said: "Last time, I heard the prince talk about this matter, and I felt that the prince was worried about this matter, so I want to share the worries of the prince, I don't know if this move is appropriate?"

"Since it's for the sake of this king, what's inappropriate?" Liu Xu nodded on Mo Ziyu's nose, "I heard the third lady say, you have suffered a lot of grievances in the days when this king is away?"

"There are some misunderstandings, and I can't talk about grievances, just explain it. By the way, the prince will wait a minute, the concubine will go and get something!" Mo Ziyu said and got up to leave.
