It's night.

King Jing Murong Yunzhao took the side concubine Nan Wan and came to the Panwang Mansion.

Murong Ming warmly received them.

Ruoling, as the only female protagonist in the Panwang Mansion, attended the banquet with Murong Ming.

She listened to the greetings between the two princes on the surface, and she actually wanted to laugh very much in her heart.

She knew very well that Murong Ming had been unaccustomed to seeing Murong Yunzhao for a long time. Murong Ming always thought that Murong Yunzhao was incapable, but he had such a great power because he had a strong family and surrounded the Empress Dowager Ning Wanlan.

And Murong Yunzhao has always looked down on Murong Ming. He thinks that although Murong Ming is also a prince, he is very different from himself. Murong Ming is timid and afraid of things, and he is afraid to do things. He, the king of Pan, really can't compare with himself!

Two people who looked down on each other had to choose to join forces because of a turmoil to consolidate their position and meet the challenge.

But at the moment, they have no way of knowing what awaits them next.

A grand banquet was prepared at the Panwang Mansion to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness King Jing and Princess Nan.

The banquet was lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious. However, the four people at the guest of honor all had their own ghosts, and they all said high-sounding polite words.

Murong Yunzhao held the wine glass and said to Murong Ming: "This king has not congratulated His Royal Highness King Pan, he is a beautiful woman!" ”

He glanced at Ruoling and continued: "I don't like beauty, it seems that I haven't met anyone who cares about it. Now, King Pan has to be accompanied by Miss Ruoling, and it seems that there will be a happy event in Jinling City in the near future. ”

Ruoling hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Jing said that he laughed, Ruoling is just a pipa girl from the Red Mansion, thanks to the love of His Royal Highness King Pan, I was fortunate to enter the Panwang Mansion, but I never thought of being half a master." ”

Murong Ming also said: "I helped Ruoling redeem herself in the Red Mansion, she is a free person, even in my mansion, she is free to come and go." Ruoling is like a mentor and friend to me. His Royal Highness King Jing, don't make fun of other girls! ”

Ruoling hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be a little shy.

Murong Yunzhao thought to himself, okay, you Murong Ming, it's just a matter of hiding Jiao in the golden house, and what kind of virtual thing do you play with soul mates. For the sake of today's alliance, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

He filled his bottle with wine, and with a pretended sorrow, he said:

"Since you and I are jointly responsible for the shipbuilding of the Ministry of Industry, so many things have happened. Today, in the court, the emperor and the queen mother reprimanded me for acting recklessly in person. Leave the authority to oversee this matter to Six Doors. This king is really troubled in his heart! ”

Murong Ming heard what he said, and thought to himself, finally got to the point. It's not in vain that I've been with you all night!

He hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother doesn't really want to blame the prince, it's just that Long Xiaotian is making a fuss and has to give the regent a face." ”

Murong Yunzhao said: "To this day, this king can't understand why this good ministry was stolen?" ”

Ruoling heard that the two of them had finally reached the point, and it was time for him to take his own step, so he got up, bowed his head in front of Nan Wan, and said softly:

"Niangniang, the two princes seem to have something important to talk about, and it is inconvenient for our daughters to be here, so why don't you let me accompany you around this Pan Palace."

Although Nan Wan didn't like Ruoling's background and didn't want to deal with her ordinary dusty woman, she also knew that she did have a point.

She looked back at Murong Yunzhao, and when she saw that Murong Yunzhao gave her a positive look, she raised her head and left the table with Ruoling.

Summer is approaching, and even though it is night, there is still a hint of heat in the air.

Ruoling and Nanwan were walking in the palace, and they didn't seem to have any topics.

Ruoling knew that Nan Wan was very high. Although he is not too noble, he has always looked down on those who are from low backgrounds, thinking that they are lowly all their lives.

Even, even Long Jiujiu, a family of military generals, was hated by her because she was obsessed with Murong Yunzhao regardless of her identity.

Ruoling thought to herself, it's really a mother's style.

She saw that Nan Wan didn't seem to be willing to deal with her, so she had to find something to say: "The slave family heard that Niangniang was also a first-class pipa saint before entering the palace. The slave family has no ability in this life, just guarding the pipa to live. Today, I am fortunate to meet such a skilled person as Niangniang, and I naturally want to ask for advice. ”

Nan Wan glanced at Ruoling with disgust.

Yes, in the past, Nanwan's pipa was famous in Jinling City. Her father is just a small five-grade official, in order to let Nan Wan have a good future, he trained her to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and after discovering that she has a talent for playing the pipa, he spared no expense to send someone to ask a famous teacher to guide her.

Therefore, Nan Wan's pipa skills are naturally superb.

How could a saint like her casually compete with a woman who used to make a living in the Red Mansion?

However, she did not forget that today's trip was an alliance with Murong Ming. In order not to offend the Panwang Mansion, she had to say:

"It's really unfortunate, since I entered the Jingwang Mansion, I rarely play the pipa anymore, and my piano skills are also a lot rusty, so I won't make my sister laugh today."

Ruoling knew that she was deliberately shirking, but she was not annoyed. It's a pity.

The two of them continued to look around the palace, and Ruoling did not mention the topic of pipa again.

An hour later, Ruoling and Nanwan returned to the banquet hall.

At this time, Murong Yunzhao and Murong Ming were already in a different state from just now, and they were hugging each other and clinking glasses.

Ruoling knew that the alliance between the two was ostensibly successful.

Nan Wan gently tugged at Murong Yunzhao's sleeve and reminded him that it was getting late and it was time to go home.

Murong Yunzhao put down his wine glass and said to Murong Ming: "I drank very happily with King Pan today, and in the future, this king should come to King Pan's Mansion more often." ”

Murong Ming also hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Jing came to the Humble House, which is naturally an honor for my house. I hope that in the future, I can work with King Jing to contribute to the great cause of my Yunqin! ”

Murong Yunzhao was about to say goodbye to Murong Ming, but at this time, Soft Ruoling, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly spoke.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, the slave family and the princess's sister traveled to the lake, talking about the fact that my sister was the holy hand of the pipa. My sister said that she rarely talked about it since she entered the Jingwang Mansion. Ruoling deeply regretted it. ”

"Coincidentally, a few days ago, my prince got a new pipa, which was a phoenix-necked pipa left by the concubine of the previous dynasty. The prince gave this qin to the slave family. However, the slave family knows that his identity is not worthy of such a good piano. ”

"Today, if you have the fate to meet Niangniang, you will dedicate this piano to Niangniang, and I hope that Niangniang will not dislike it!"

As soon as these words came out, Nan Wan was very conflicted in his heart.

It is said that she can't look down on this Ruoling thing. Don't talk about Ruoling, it's this Panwang Mansion, just now she turned around, and she didn't know how many times worse than her Jingwang Mansion.

However, she had heard of the name of the phoenix-necked pipa for a long time. As a lute lover, who wouldn't want to own a legendary lute?

Murong Yunzhao saw that Nan Wan didn't speak, he thought about it for a while, and thought that Ruoling's move should also be an expression of his sincerity to them, so he accepted it for her.

In this way, Murong Yunzhao and Nan Wan returned home with a guqin.

After returning home, Nan Wan specially ordered someone to open the piano case and looked at it, it was indeed a good piano.

"Tell someone to keep it!" After Nan Wan finished speaking, he didn't touch the qin again.

But what she didn't expect was that in the middle of the lute, there was a drawing, lying there quietly.
