Winter nights always come to an early end, and in a quiet backyard of the Qingyun Pavilion, a clear and graceful piano sound comes out of it, and then drifts out in all directions.

A beautiful woman sits in a hexagonal gazebo, a pair of slender hands caressing a quaint piano in front of her.

The beauty is dressed in white, with long hair, slender as the moon, and is not wrapped in very thick clothes because of the cold outside. Behind her stood a girl in a pale green skirt, her eyes vigilantly scanning everything around her.

In winter, the garden is bleak, with a few dead leaves hanging from the bare flowers and trees, the grass on the ground is also withered yellow, and even the pond outside the pavilion is covered with a thick layer of ice. It is difficult for a person who walks into the garden to hide his figure.

"Zheng-" The melodious piano sound suddenly broke, and the girl in the green skirt twisted her eyebrows slightly, opened her mouth and shouted: "Who is it?" Come out! ”

A fancy dressed walked out from behind a moon door.

"Mother Liang, what are you doing here with me?" The beautiful woman in white said unhappily.

"Yaxing, who disturbed the girl, I hope the girl won't blame the old body," Liang's mother owed a smile on her face, "There is a son who wants to see the girl, and the old man brought him here......"

"Who of us girls can see us if he wants to?" The girl in the green skirt said: "The girl asked you to manage the front yard, and didn't let you meddle here, you ......"

"Rong'er," the beautiful woman in white interrupted her, glanced at Liang's mother and said, "You have always been a steady person, why are you messing up the rules now?" ”

"This ......" Liang's mother's eyes flickered, and she stopped talking.

"Since you've brought all the people here, let him in!" The beautiful woman in white stroked the piano and said.

"Yes, girl," Mother Liang turned around and shouted outside the moon gate, "Outside guests, our girl is invited!" ”

A man wearing a bamboo hat on his head, a short jacket, and a pair of black cotton pants underneath walked in. The hat was pressed so low that his face could not be seen.

As soon as he came in, Liang's mother bowed and retreated.

"You want to see our young lady, why don't you show your true face?" Rong'er shouted.

The man hesitated, and slowly removed the hat from his head.

The slender body of the beautiful woman in white shook slightly, "Lord Wang......"

"Yun Xi......" The man looked at the beautiful woman in white with a stupid gaze and exhaled.

"Rong'er," Liu Yunxi quickly came back to his senses and ordered, "You go outside the door and take a look......"

"Girl, the servant knows." Rong'er's dress swayed, and she didn't see how she moved, so she fluttered outside the moon gate.

Only Liu Yunxi and Zhu Qiyu are left in the entire courtyard.

"Lord Wang, are you going to bring someone to arrest me?" Liu Yunxi's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Yun Xi......" Zhu Qiyu's emotions seemed to be a little excited, "I'd rather I die than you be hurt in the slightest." ”

"It really worries the prince," Liu Yunxi said calmly: "I'm fine now, and the prince has also seen me, please go back now!" ”

"Yun Xi," Zhu Qiyu took a few steps towards Liu Yun Xi,

Standing still outside the pavilion, his expression seemed to be a little painful, "You...... Will you drive me away? ”

"The prince is serious, how dare the little girl?" Liu Yunxi said lightly: "As a prince, you shouldn't come to this place. ”

"You...... Are you in such a hurry to draw a line with me? The muscles on Zhu Qiyu's face twitched a few times.

"Lord Wang," Liu Yunxi said in a tone of admonition: "I'm just a woman in the dust, and I don't deserve your nostalgia, Lord, otherwise it will be bad for you and me...... Also, the little girl is destined to continue to stay in this capital, and the prince will soon be sealed off......" The voice paused slightly, "You and I are not all the way, why bother to be together?" ”

"You deliberately approached me because of who I am?" Zhu Qiyu's face changed color slightly, "Yun Xi, I want to ask you, have you ever really liked me?" ”

"With the dignity of the prince, there will be fewer women who like you around?" Liu Yunxi sneered, "Although I have a humble status, I am still waiting for the boudoir." And the prince already has a princess by his side, so he should cherish it. ”

"Didn't you already know about me? Now come and tell me such a big truth," Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned red, and he roared, "Why?" ”

"If the prince has nothing else to do, please go back!" Liu Yunxi stopped looking at him, and his fingertips crossed the strings, provoking a bright note.

"Yun Xi ......" Zhu Qizhen walked quickly to the pavilion, grabbed her sleeve and said: "You come with me, leave the capital, stay away from this place of right and wrong, and live a happy life together." ”

"Are you crazy?" Liu Yunxi pulled out his sleeve from his hand and moved away from him, "Why should I leave this capital with you?" Who am you? ”

"The concubine has already proposed to the emperor about the feudal feud," Zhu Qiyu said, "I believe that soon the emperor will issue a decree, and at that time, no one will be able to hinder us in my feudal state." You and I can be together openly, and I can make you a princess......"

Liu Yunxi looked at him quietly and said nothing.

"You...... Aren't you happy? Zhu Qiyu saw that she reacted coldly and stopped talking.

"I'm here to congratulate the prince," Liu Yunxi said indifferently: "Yun Xi will bless the prince every day here." ”

"You...... Don't you want to come with me? Zhu Qiyu was stunned, she was able to give her the title of a princess, why was she so cold?

"Yun Xi is blessed, I can't accompany the prince anymore," Liu Yunxi's tone was firm, "I won't leave the capital." ”

"Why?" Zhu Qiyu hurriedly said: "You have made such a big ......"

"Lord Wang, please speak carefully," Liu Yunxi cut off his words and said, "As long as the prince remembers the feelings of the past, Yun Xi will be fine." ”

"You...... Would you rather stay here for the rest of your life? Zhu Qiyu said: "Are you still thinking about the impossibility?" ”

"It's man-made, and you'll never know what I'm thinking."

"Yes, I don't know." Zhu Qiyu said with some indignation: "Your Xixia homeland has been destroyed for hundreds of years, and if you want to restore him, it is tantamount to begging for fish from Yuanmu." ”

"Lord Wang, please respect yourself," Liu Yunxi's face sank, "This is a belief left by my ancestors from generation to generation, and this belief has been integrated into my bloodline

Whether I succeed or not, I have to do my best. ”

"If it kills you and your people, will you do it too?" Zhu Qiyu said.

Liu Yunxi turned around and didn't look at him, and said leisurely: "If there really is such a day, it will be the fate of me and my people...... Heaven is going to kill me, what can I do? ”

"If what you've done is exposed, won't you leave?"

"As long as the prince can stand here, what am I afraid of?" Liu Yunxi glanced at him with a pretty face, "Even if I want to leave, it's not now, and I won't go with you to your feudal kingdom to be a princess?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was silent, biting his lip for a long time and muttering: "Then if I help you restore your homeland, will you marry me?" ”

"What did you say?" Liu Yunxi turned around and looked at him in a daze, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"That's the only thing that impresses you, isn't it?" The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth hooked up a strange smile, "We might as well make an agreement, if you can help me to the position where the imperial brother is sitting now, I will help you achieve your wish, how about it?" ”

"You...... Do you want to be emperor? Liu Yunxi's face changed color.

"For you, I can give it a try," Zhu Qiyu looked at her and said, "You must know that I am the most likely person to inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty, and you deliberately approached me for this reason, didn't you?" ”

"However, the current emperor already has a prince......

"As long as I continue to stay in the capital, then everything is possible," Zhu Qiyu interjected: "For this reason, you helped me once before, and now you don't want to help again?" ”

"You have changed your mind and don't want to be a free prince again?" Liu Yunxi stared at him, and his voice trembled slightly.

"How could I get away without you?" Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly, "Actually, I don't want to leave the capital, I was born and raised in Si, and the concubine is also here...... And you, how can I give up? ”

"Lord Wang......" Looking at his fiery gaze, Liu Yunxi didn't know what to say.

"I'll help you fulfill your wishes, will you marry me?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"I ......" Liu Yunxi pondered for a moment and said: "If the prince can help me, I am willing to wait by the prince's side for the rest of my life." ”

"That's good," Zhu Qiyu said: "I will find a way to continue to stay in the capital, how to help me, that's your business." However, you must inform me in advance of what you want to do. ”

"I understand," Liu Yunxi's eyes flashed with a complicated color, "Please rest assured." ”

"Are you going to drive me away now?" There was a hint of ridicule in Zhu Qiyu's voice.

"I'll play a song for the prince now," Liu Yunxi smiled slightly, "It's considered to be making amends for the prince." As he spoke, he came to the quaint piano and sat down. Just as he was about to tune the piano tone, he suddenly heard a woman's scream coming from outside, and his face couldn't help but change.

"It's Rong'er." She and Zhu Qiyu glanced at each other and said.

A dark shadow floated out of the pavilion, like a ghost silently.

"Ji Xin?" Zhu Qiyu saw his appearance clearly, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"I disturbed the prince's Qingxing, and please don't blame the prince!" Ji Xin laughed strangely, and said with both hands arched.
