"You mean...... That one? How can it be? "How is it possible, she is the only child of His Royal Highness's brother, why should she be jealous of a foreign woman who is not even a concubine?

"How could it not be? Princess Niangniang, think about it again? Kim Min-hee threw down the question for Jang Eun-sook to find the answer herself, and she said goodbye and quietly exited her room, leaving her alone to ponder.

Walking outside, Jin Minxi closed her eyes, took a deep breath of fresh and cold air, and the henchmen on the side quietly stepped forward to put on a white fox fur cloak for her: "Niangniang, since you have pointed out the direction to the princess, why don't you finish speaking?" ”

Jin Minxi opened his eyes and raised his hand to stop the internal affairs from continuing: "What do you know? The one in Chenchang Palace, although she is young, is a person with a strong desire for exclusivity, and her feelings for His Royal Highness the Prince have long exceeded ....... How can such words come out of my mouth? ”

Nei Shi was taken aback when he heard this: "What? Miss Ah Xiu she ...... That's not ...... Panic ......" was shocked and lost his words, immediately covered his mouth, stopped his voice, and looked around nervously.

"Therefore, only the princess herself understands this matter, but I can't say it! Got it? Looking at the internal affairs and nodding desperately, then he gathered the cloak on his shoulders, and Jin Minxi warned him very seriously: "You have to rot in my stomach for this matter, and not a word is allowed to pass it on." If it spreads, not only will your life be at risk, but even I will ......."

The servant hurriedly fell to the ground: "The slave didn't hear anything!" ”

"Humph! Well, get up. ”

It's night

The high bun on weekdays was all put down at this moment, and he didn't wear any ornaments on his body, but simply put on a wide aqua-blue open robe, and the hem behind him was like a huge fishtail spread on the ground kang.

I saw him sitting quietly under the eaves outside the door of Chu Qingruo's house, taking advantage of the moonlight, playing a beautiful five-stringed piano, and singing a melodious and sad ballad with his slightly low and vicissitudes of life:

"I was going to go to the frost shop to buy pastries, but a stranger grabbed my hand.

If this matter spreads outside the store, the shopkeeper will say that it is your fault.

Saying that I have also been there to sleep, how can there be such a complicated place as there

I was going to go to Sanzang Temple to light a lamp, but a donor grabbed my hand

If this matter spreads outside the temple, the little novice will say that it is your fault

Saying that I have also been there to sleep, how can there be such a complicated place as there. ”

The cold moonlight flowed like silver frost on his lonely back, and the sad tune was as cool as his shadow on the window. (踽:ju 3rd tone)

He was intoxicated by this sad tune, but he didn't realize that Chu Qingruo had been leaning on the door with his coat on and looking at his back for a long time. "That's nice."

I don't know if she means that the song is good, and he sings it well.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

After carefully putting the ukulele aside, Bai Lisheng turned around, smiled and looked up at the woman standing behind him: "Did I wake you up?" ”

It was rare that she didn't go toe-to-toe with him, but walked to his side gently, sat side by side with him under the eaves, and looked up at the clear and cold moon in the sky together. "What's the name of this piece?"

"Frost Flower Shop." Lowering his eyelids, Bai Lisheng's beautiful peach blossom eyes, the curly and thick eyelashes seemed to have an indistinct mist, trembling slightly. "This is my mother's favorite song. This piano was also her beloved object during her lifetime. ”

Chu Qingruo stopped talking, and only sat quietly with him, but his eyes drifted to the endless starry sky.

On nights like this, he was thinking about his departed relatives, and he was also thinking about his own relatives. Don't know what he's doing now? They...... Are you all right?

"Is it because I'm late?" Looking at the woman beside him, he suddenly asked softly in the voice he had just sung the tune.

He knew what she was thinking, or who she was thinking.

Chu Qingruo didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head. She knew what he meant by "late."

"In your heart, now, do you have a little place for me?" Even a little bit is fine.

In the moonlight, his eyes sparkled like an expectant child.

Chu Qingruo looked at him, feeling slightly unbearable, but he still smiled and shook his head.

Yes...... In this way, ......, the sparkling eyes dimmed instantly.

It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to let me into your heart, I can wait, wait for your heart to slowly open to me, even if it takes a lifetime, as long as you are willing......

After that, the two did not speak again, and Bai Lisheng picked up his ukele again and sang another sad tune:

You go and leave me like this.

There was no sound, and there was no more news.

How do you tell me to live?

I can't forget that you abandoned me like this.

My heart turned to ashes, leaving me to wander alone.

Go back, you won't come back.

Let you fly......

Chu Qingruo looked up at the countless bright stars in the sky and listened quietly until the sky was overcast......

This night, later, became the most beautiful picture in Bailisheng's memory;

This song, later, also became the most compassionate memory in Chu Qingruo's heart......

In a tavern on the outskirts of Shengjing City, Fu Lingyun was sitting at a table in an inconspicuous corner with Xu Yong and them, carefully observing the people in the tavern who had become noisy due to drunkenness. Watch them drink and have fun, and when they get excited, they will dance to the ridiculous tunes of the girls in the tavern.

After making sure that there were no suspicious people here, Xu Yong turned around and said in a low voice: "Tonight, we will explore the Shizi Mansion, find out the shape first, and then make plans." ”

"I don't agree." Lowering the brim of his hat, the steward put his hands in his sleeves and sniffed.

"Uncle Quan, if you have anything to say, just say it." Lian Feng poured him a glass of wine.

The steward stretched out a hand, dipped it in the wine in the cup, quickly spent a gossip-shaped pattern on the table, pointed to a certain point on the pattern and said: "This is Shengjing City, this is the Shizi Mansion, you look at the location of the Shizi Mansion, here." ”

Fingers moved up, "This is the place where the most shops in Shengjing gather, look here." The finger pointed to the other side, "Do you know where this is?" Yongchang Palace, this is the avenue in front of the palace. ”

Fu Lingyun and the others immediately understood what he meant.

Such a geographical location meant that the Shizifu was located between commerce and the imperial palace, and it must have been heavily guarded and patrolled. I want to visit the Shizi Mansion at night, but I am afraid that they have already been discovered before they get close to the Shizi Mansion.

Seeing that they understood their words, they all showed frustrated expressions, and the steward sighed: "Originally, it was not easy to get someone out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, not to mention that a few of you are still ...... I know you want to save people, but you can't be so reckless. ”

Fu Lingyun looked lost: "Uncle Quan's lesson is that I didn't think about it. ”

Seeing him like this, the steward couldn't bear it: "Wen Yuan, don't worry, take your time and be patient in this matter." I have already asked someone to collect the topography of the Shizi Mansion, as well as the current situation of the young lady. If there are no surprises, there will be news in a few days.

You all say that the young lady is a very intelligent woman, and I am sure that she will protect herself at this moment. When we find out where she is, let's see what the situation is, and then make specific plans. ”

Fu Lingyun hung his head, picked up the wine glass, poured himself a big sip, and slammed the wine glass on the table with a loud noise.

Shizifu Chenchang Palace

"Yikes!" Yin Xiu screamed as if venting, kicking over an insider who fell to his knees. He picked up the little leather whip on the table again, and whipped the poor insider desperately.

Nei Shi knelt on the ground and kept rubbing his hands: "Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me." ”

Constantly rising and falling in his chest because of intense emotions, Bai Lixiu's face that should have been innocent was full of resentment: "Huh...... West...... What are you, I want you to remind me that he is my father, His Highness! You dare to stand in the way of us even if you are a lowly thing? ”

Her father, His Royal Highness, is the gentlest and most beautiful person in the world. He should be like the snow on the mountain, cold and arrogant, and he shouldn't take the vulgar women of this world in his eyes!

The words of the internal matter just now were like stepping on the tail of Baili Lixiu, which made her heart burn.

A few days ago, after Kim Min-hee went to Jang Eun-sook's Guangde Palace, Jang Eun-sook came to find Baili Lixiu, the two were almost the same age, and they were easier to get close to than other concubines.

Although Lixiu is young, she was born in such a calculating mansion since she was a child, and her mind and scheming are far superior to those of children of the same age, and even slightly better than Zhang Enshulai.

Zhang Enshu, who thought she was smart, came here, and her words were full of instigation, instigating her to deal with Chu Qingruo in the side courtyard.

Lixiu, who is cunning like a little fox, can't hear it anywhere. It's just that it is indeed this slut who has exclusive possession of Her father's Royal Highness right now, even if Zhang Enshu doesn't fan the flames, she already treats her as the number one "rival in love".

Early this morning, she overheard whispering from top to bottom of the Shizi Mansion:

Last night, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World sang a tune all night with the woman from a foreign country, Qin Se and Ming, in the side courtyard. Everyone is saying that His Royal Highness's voice is full of magnetism, and people want to die drunk in his singing.

Everyone was envious of the foreign woman, the beautiful scenery of the night, and the gentle and handsome His Royal Highness the Prince sang a love song for her all night, and everyone said that if they were replaced, they would be willing to die.

After Lixiu heard this, she went back to her room and was furious, feeling that her father, His Royal Highness, had been completely snatched away by Chu Qingruo, a cheap woman, twisting the little whip in her hand, she hated and thought that she must find a way to snatch His Royal Highness father back.
