The Empress Dowager made a rare graceful and peaceful posture, which made the King of Servants feel quite uncomfortable, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his head hung deeper. Seeing such a scene, Zhu Qiming's heart suddenly hung in his throat.

"Erchen was ordered by the emperor to come to the other courtyard to congratulate King Yue."

Seeing that King Yu never mentioned Concubine Wu, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I think this king doesn't always talk like he usually sees, he still knows how to deal with it when he needs to deal with it carefully.

The queen mother chuckled a few times, and the king was stunned for a moment. "It turned out that the emperor asked you to come, the emperor is really a benevolent and virtuous king, the court affairs are cumbersome, but he still does not forget to treat Qi Ming in the other courtyard. Oh, King Yu, when did the Emperor give you the decree? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor sent a message in the morning." King Yu secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, as if he was worried that the Queen Mother still didn't believe his words, and hurriedly added: "The emperor asked his ministers to prepare 10,000 taels of silver as a gift." ”

Zhu Qiming let out a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart finally fell into his stomach. Suddenly remembered the words of King Yu at the end, and an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in his chest.

The emperor ordered you to prepare 10,000 taels of silver, but you only gave 5,000 taels? Thinking that he was still secretly proud of defrauding the king of five thousand taels of silver, he understood in a blink of an eye that the number should have been ten thousand taels, but under the grievances of the king of the servant, he was intercepted by the king of the five thousand taels! This King of Servants, shrewd in this shrewd place, and pretended to be innocent, such a fake show is enough to be real!

The Empress Dowager left King Yu and turned her eyes to Zhu Qiming, "Qi Ming, since the emperor has spoken to King Yu, it means that the emperor is definitely going to come to the other courtyard, and now it is almost time, could it be that the emperor is stumped by the government?" ”

Zhu Qiming bowed and said, "Qi Ming was summoned by the emperor just now. At this moment, the emperor and the ministers are discussing matters and have no leisure. ”

"Oh, I see." The Empress Dowager smiled at Zhu Qiming, turned to King Yu, and furrowed her brows, as if she was trying to maintain the peace on her face. "Qi Ming has just moved into another hospital, and many things haven't had time to settle down, so don't come to another hospital these days."

"Yes."

The two sent off the Queen Mother and returned to the dining room to re-seat. Zhu Qiming squinted at King Yu, "The emperor ordered you to prepare 10,000 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift, 10,000 taels!" ”

King Yu's nervousness seemed to have completely dissipated, and he laughed for a while when he heard this, "I only care about chatting with you, but I forgot the imperial brother's instructions." ”

"You're not going to disobey, are you?"

"It's okay, the royal brother knows that I am poor."

Hey, it still can't cure you? Although the sullen breath in Zhu Qiming's chest was not entangled, it was not so easy to swallow.

"Do you want to see Pei Sanniang?"

"Yes." King Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head again and again, "You and I can't go to Qixian Tower without a will." ”

"The emperor gave me the right to enter and exit without prohibition, think about it, what is entry and exit? There are many places that I can't go to according to the system, but now I can go there on my own. ”

"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 taels."

"Think again. I don't have to ask for permission to go to a place like that. ”

"Eh, I remembered, I have a blood jade mountain that is regarded as a treasure, let me go back and enjoy it for half a day, from tomorrow, it will be the treasure of the other courtyard!"

"Hey, hey, Brother Wang, you and I don't talk about mundane things, come on, let's drink and have fun!"

······

Early the next morning, Lu Xiyu walked all the way to the gate of the other courtyard with the waist card given to her by Princess Changde, but was intercepted and interrogated by the guards. After hearing the news, Zhu Qiming ran to the gate of the courtyard, suppressed his anger, and said coldly to the guards: "She is the companion of this king, and she will come to the other courtyard often in the future, you must not embarrass her again!" ”

"Yes."

Lu Xiyu followed Zhu Qiming into the hospital and walked to the pool, her starry eyes swept towards Zhu Qiming, with a few smiles in her eyes, but her tone was disgusted: "The guards are just doing their duty, why are you angry?" ”

"When did I get angry?" Zhu Qiming turned his head and tried his best to hide his embarrassment, "Eh, sister, what about Mr.?" ”

Lu Xiyu stopped, staring at the lotus leaves stained with crystal water droplets in the pool. "My father can't enter the palace, let me ask you, are you no longer going to school?"

Zhu Qiming stopped, slowly approached Lu Xiyu, raised his eyes to look at her cheek, only to see Lu Xiyu's eyes turn and turn his head slightly.

"How can I not go to school? At present, my sister will teach me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and after I ask for advice, I will choose a convenient place and invite my husband to come and teach. ”

Lu Xiyu pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say anything, just lowered his head slightly, and walked towards the palace with light steps.

Zhu Qiming caught up and led Lu Xiyu into the study.

Lu Xiyu's gaze fell on the baoqin at once, "Eh, is this the legendary waterfall Lianzhu?" ”

"My sister has good eyesight! This piano was made by King Ning and was given to me by the Queen Mother. ”

Lu Xiyu's gaze finally fell on Zhu Qiming's face, "Counting the seniority, King Ning should be your great-uncle, who has written countless books over the decades. King Ning has this achievement, and he is not inferior to half a point of the well-educated people in the court, and he can be called the Zhilan Yushu in the royal family! ”

Is this inspirational? Zhu Qiming said with a smile: "After I go to the domain, with my sister helping me, I can also devote myself to writing." ”

Lu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, two red glows instantly flew on his face, and he muttered as if he was angry: "Don't talk nonsense. After you go to the domain, who knows who will help you from the side! ”

Zhu Qiming was stunned, and suddenly realized that his meaning was too sensitive, and immediately sat down next to the piano case with a smile. "Sister, I am familiar with the piano, it is better for me to stroke the piano, and you can point out on the side."

Lu Xiyu hesitated for a moment, slowly turned his head, and swept his eyes towards the piano case.

When it was time to perform, Zhu Qiming realized that what he had learned was too superficial, and he couldn't find a piece of music with a complete memory after searching his stomach for a long time. So, the fingers ran blankly to the strings, and the lyrics blurted out.

"The pheasant flies and sings harmoniously, the male and female flock fly in the mountain, I have no room for the lonely wound, and the twilight can be helpless, sigh, twilight can be helpless."

Lu Xiyu pouted and glanced at Zhu Qiming, "You are a person who has learned music and rhythm, but now the song "Pheasant Chaofei" is not in tune. Besides, people have no wife for their fifty calves, so they have a feeling, you are a young prince, you don't learn so many famous songs, but you learn the old man's sad songs, what does this mean? ”

Zhu Qiming said with a smile: "I know that King Ning's "Magical Secret Score" contains many famous songs through the ages, but how can I compare with you? You've learned a lot, and I can't play a whole piece. Alas, it's all my fault that I'm not good at learning, so I can only learn and sell now, which makes my sister smile. ”

Lu Xiyu laughed "poof", "I didn't expect you to hear a piano song like "Pheasant Chaofei"! That's it, learn the piano to be sincere, don't be in a hurry, like you are impetuous, it is useless to learn the piano. You might as well calm down and try to play "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms". ”

"My sister is right, I want to clean my hands and burn incense to show my sincerity."

Zhu Qiming got up and called Yin'er to bring hot water to clean his hands, and then went to the stove to burn incense with his own hands, and then returned to the piano table and sat down, closing his eyes and dismissing the distracting thoughts in his mind. The voice of Lu Xiyu sounded in his ears.

"My Chinese scholars are all left and right, the piano can best entertain the virtue of a gentleman, think about you are a gentleman who is as gentle as jade, and then think about the quiet and distant rhyme of the piano."

Zhu Qiming's mood returned to tranquility, so he started to stroke the piano.

"Take overtones as the main key, and pay attention to the switching and resonance of scattered tones, overtones, and pressed tones. The overtones are like the sky, the sound is like a person, the scattered sound is like the earth, and the three tones are symphonic, then the heaven, the earth and people are ready. Think of plum blossoms in the frost and snow between heaven and earth, and people who appreciate plum blossoms linger in the plum forest. 'Diffuse the green qi, lead the three lanes, and don't feel the soul flying'. ”

Zhu Qiming's whole person was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the piano music, and unconsciously finished playing a whole song, woke up, and didn't know what the effect was, so he looked at Lu Xiyu with a little apprehension.

"Yes, you are still quite talented, and your piano skills in the future will definitely not be inferior to the saint Zhongni." After the sound of the piano stopped completely, Lu Xiyu praised it, and then commented solemnly: "The only flaw is that your fingering is jerky, from now on, I will first correct the fallacy of your left and right fingering." ”

can get Lu Xiyu's praise, Zhu Qiming was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing a few times.

At this time, Mama Cui led Jin Ying in.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the Emperor sent His Royal Highness to Lingxuan Pavilion to see the envoy of Wara, and the elder Yang Pavilion is waiting for His Highness there."

Zhu Qiming stood up in a daze, "According to the system, the prince does not see the foreign envoy, can the father-in-law know why the emperor sent the king to see the envoy of Wara?" ”

"This Sprinkle family doesn't know very well, but the Sprinkle family seems to have heard people talk about it, saying that someone in the Warat mission wants to see His Highness by name, and the emperor is in a very good mood these days, so he approved the invitation of the Warat envoy."

Do you want to see this king by name? This king has no relationship with Waratsu, where did he come from? Zhu Qiming was confused, shook his head, turned to Lu Xiyu and smiled: "My sister is at her own convenience, I'll go and go back." ”

When he went out, he instructed Mama Cui again: "Sister Xiyu is in another courtyard, you must not neglect her." She is quiet, so don't go to the study and disturb her for no reason. ”

Mama Cui bowed slightly, which was counted as a promise.

Out of the courtyard gate, far away from the guards, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but think of Wu Longlai, who was stirring up trouble, turned his head and glanced at Jin Ying beside him carefully, and secretly felt sorry for this minister who had always been upright and upright.

At the beginning, Jin Ying and Wang Zhen competed for the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal, but Wang Zhen stepped on him, which had a great impact on Jin Ying's career. The power struggle in the palace is very cruel, it is difficult for the loser to turn over, Jin Ying not to mention catching up with Wang Zhen, even if he competes with a group of subordinates for a new position in the future, it is difficult to gain the upper hand. Don't look at the subordinates who are all respectful to Jin Yingli on the surface, when it comes to the critical moment, no one will really take him seriously.

Expecting Jin Ying to suppress Wulong and balance Wang Zhen is tantamount to a fool's dream!

Thinking about his thoughts along the way, he unconsciously arrived in front of the door of Ling Xuan Pavilion, Jin Ying turned around and left, and Yang Pu hurriedly greeted him. "Your Highness, it's still early, how about the old man walking around outside the pavilion with His Highness?"
