The crown prince Liu Yan and Lu Zuo sat in the same sedan chair, on the way back from Ning Wangfu, Liu Yan kept observing Lu Zuo intently, trying to peek out the other party's inner thoughts from his expression, but he couldn't tell whether Lu Zuo's expression was happy or angry.

After the crown prince Liu Yan led Lu Zuo back to his home, he was also a good hospitality, good wine and good food, and did not slack off at all.

After dinner that day, I don't know when the wind and snow have stopped, and the moon has risen in the east. So the prince Liu Yan pulled Lu Zuo to the Qiuwan Pavilion in the house, and together they stroked the piano and admired the moon, first the prince was sitting precariously and played a song, and Lu Zuo on the side just stood on the side of the pavilion and looked up to admire the moon, and reluctantly listened to some, the piano sound was high-pitched and long, and it turned back to the intestines nine times, but after all, it was still a little worse.

The prince stroked it. said with a smile: "My Jiaowei piano was bought by the emperor's grandfather from the descendants of the Wang family for a thousand dollars, and it can be regarded as a good piano in the world!" It is said that the sword is given to the hero, and the good piano is sent to the bosom friend. Tonight, I will also give this piano to Mr. Lu!"

"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, His Royal Highness still gives the piano to someone who is destined! The grass people can't afford it!" Lu Zuo excused himself again, if he accepted the prince's things at will at this moment, it would be tantamount to showing his heart to the prince, so Lu Zuo knew that he must not let the prince know his position too quickly.

"It's just a piano, Mr. Lu doesn't have to be so polite." The prince sneered, "I heard that Mr. Lu's piano skills are broken, why don't you just play this piano and take advantage of this good night to play a song, how about it?"

Although Lu Zuo was expressionless on his face, he was a little reluctant in his heart, but he had no choice but to respond. So he sat on a stone bench covered with fox skins, facing the crown prince Liu Yan, and took the other party's piano. After Lu Zuo adjusted the timbre, he slowly played. In a moment, the pavilion garden is full of wonderful sounds, sometimes the water is slow, sometimes the majestic shore, the moonlight is like washing, the pool in front of the autumn pavilion, with the sound of the piano sparkling, the snow on the eaves seems to melt with the beautiful sound of the piano.

Lu Zuo stroked, the prince pondered for a long time, as if he was reminiscing about the beautiful sound of the piano, and then the prince Liu Yan happily clapped his hands and praised, "Sure enough, the piano can only hear this wonderful sound when it meets a bosom friend, listening to this song, there is a bit of ancient song rhyme!" Then he frowned angrily, "I don't know what the name of this piece is?" Can Mr. Lu give me some advice?"

His Royal Highness smiled, as we all know, "Alpine Flowing Water" has been lost for a long time, and the grass people also made this song "Alpine Flowing Water" according to their own feelings to show their admiration, I am afraid that the name of this song will be tarnished! The crown prince is also a person who knows the reason, what is wrong with it, please give your highness some advice?" Lu Zuo smiled slightly.

The prince was obviously sincerely admired, and gave a thumbs up again and again, "Where is it, Mr. Lu's song, I'm afraid that it will be more than it, this is the best song I've ever heard, and I said 'Three days of aftersound, endlessly' I didn't believe it, but after listening to it tonight, I know what is the real aftersound!"

After touching the qin, Lu Zuo also gradually began to talk with the prince, although he had not yet made up his mind whether to assist the prince, but he also intended to test the prince Liu Yan, "The qin is a good qin, it is said that Jiaoweiqin was cast by Cai Yong, Cai Yong is upright and dares to speak out." It's a pity that Emperor Ling listened to slander, so that Cai Yong died in the rivers and seas, and when he fled to Wu Di to live in seclusion, he rescued this sycamore wood in the flames, and then used a piano forged from this wood! Does the prince know?"

The crown prince Liu Yan knew that Lu Zuo was deliberately inspecting himself, so he sneered and didn't care, "It is said that 'Emperor Ling has no beads and is a good general, and Jiao Tong has the honor of cutting the famous piano' Emperor Ling has eyes and no beads, and his heart is narrow, and the outcome can be imagined." If I were the Spirit Emperor, I would never let Liangcai go to this situation! ”

"Oh!" Lu Zuo seemed to be interested, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Some people say that there are two kinds of people in this world: one is for the sake of leaving a name in history, and the other is for the pearl Qianhui, I don't know which one Your Highness is?" Or which one do you prefer?"

Lu Zuo looked at the prince's disdainful expression, and already knew the answer in his heart.

"What are the gold and silver treasures of Mingzhu Qianhu, what I Liu Yan asked for is definitely not these. As for the first one you mentioned, the so-called famous history, I'm afraid I won't see it in this life. The prince said with some emotion, stood up and looked at the bright full moon in the sky, "It's just that this great river and mountain, if it is the palace, if not, the palace will overturn it!"

The corners of Lu Zuo's mouth raised slightly, and he already had seven or eight answers in his heart, so he didn't continue to ask, but just smiled.

The prince was in great interest and listened to the "Boom! Boom!" It's the second watch. The prince still wanted to order someone to prepare wine and food, Lu Zuo felt a little tired after a day of work, so he politely declined, and the prince Liu Yan gave up, so he ordered his subordinates to hold the qin and take Lu Zuo to rest!

Lu Zuo returned to the guest room, and saw that Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji were still playing with the various furnishings in the house, and shouted in a low voice, "You two naughty boys, this is the prince's mansion, why are you so rude!" I'm not afraid that others will see the joke. ”

"Master! You don't know it's big! Yin Ji put the porcelain bowl in his hand back on the shelf full of antiques, and looked at Lu Zuo excitedly, "I haven't finished shopping with Second Brother Lu all afternoon!"

"I can't help it! There are places you shouldn't go, but don't run around. This is the Prince's Mansion, and there must be a lot of female dependents, so you'd better go out less!"

"Brother! I was about to say that this prince's mansion is also strange, except for a few maids and servants, there is no one else in the mansion. I see that the kings and grandsons of other people's families, with their families, one or two hundred people are common, but this huge prince's mansion is empty, and even the guards are a few elderly family members, it is not as good as our village!" Lu Renxiang seriously analyzed what he saw and heard today.

Lu Zuo just smiled after hearing this, "It seems that the prince's ambition is not small!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Renxiang asked curiously.

"These are made for people to see!"

"Do it for people to see? Who?"

"Could it be us?" Yin Ji rubbed his hands together and smirked.

"We?" Lu Zuo said with a smile, "Of course it's for those who want to see it!" In the eyes of those people, we are just pawns that come and go when we are called! Lu Zuo took a deep breath with a solemn face, thinking that although the prince was young, he was deep in the art of power and scheming, and he had such meticulous actions, thinking that there might be a master behind him, if he became an enemy with the prince, he would have to be extremely vigilant!

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Lu Zuo's face sank like water, he stood up, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and muttered for a moment, before he smiled, "Brake quietly!" You and me, brothers, just need to prepare for the next test. ”
