The weather was nice and sunny on this day.

Tian Yinqi had just returned to Ruizheng Palace after the morning court, and Ruyi was waiting in the palace to discuss the banquet with him.

I heard someone report that there was a luthier who asked to see Qi Hou.

Qi Hou just wanted to say no, but Ruyi said with interest, "Is the piano skill very good?" Ruyi thought that this pianist would be the famous Zou Ji who played the piano and admonished the King of Qi and the King of Qi in history?

Tian Yinqi saw that Wang Mei was interested in this violinist, so he asked the attendant to bring it in.

"See the King." The person who came was a young man, very handsome, his beauty was on par with Xu Gong, the only difference was that this person's eyes were clear, and he looked bright and upright.

"What's your name?" Tian Yinqi asked.

"Civilian Zou Ji." The young man's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not displeased or evaded when he saw Ruyi all the time.

Ruyi secretly admired it in his heart, he was indeed a historical celebrity, the breeze was clear and the moon was clear, and Brother Wang was really fortunate to have his help.

"I'm good at music in the next, so I might as well play a song for the king." Zou Ji said without timidity.

"Okay." Ruyi is a refreshing response. It's rare to listen to a beautiful man playing the piano, and Ruyi thinks that if he worships the phase in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hear it again.

Tian Yinqi saw that he wanted to hear it, so he nodded towards Zou Ji. Tian Yinqi actually didn't like to see this Zou Ji very much, but he was just a pianist, but he behaved like a great sage.

Zou Ji then took off the piano he was carrying and put it on the table, and gently plucked the strings twice for the audition, and then the piano poured out like a trickle. Sometimes it is agitated, sometimes it is high mountains and flowing water, and one note beats at the fingertips. The first time I heard the sound of the piano, it was shocking, but when I listened carefully, I had a feeling of ambition that was difficult to pay.

After the song was finished, Ruyi came back to his senses from the sound of the piano, "What ambition does Mr. have that is difficult to reward?" ”

"I've heard that the princess is very good at music, but I didn't expect it to be a bosom friend below." Zou Ji was not like a general compliment, and said extremely naturally and sincerely, "It's better for the princess to talk about a song to comfort the admiration below."

Tian Yinqi just wanted to reprimand Zou Ji's rude request, but saw that Ruyi had already walked to the piano to audition.

Ruyi sat upright on the side of the piano, with two white and slender hands on the strings, and touched the strings with her rounded fingertips. Gently and slowly twisting and wiping and re-picking, a clear sound poured out the sound of Jin Ge's iron saber and gun, and the spring water tinkled and the warbler cried. The big strings are noisy, the small strings are cut, and the big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

"The princess plays the piano so well." Zou Ji praised sincerely.

Tian Yinqi was displeased, and pressed his hand to the saber on his waist and said, "Sir, if you don't have a deep understanding of the situation, how do you know that my sister Wang plays the piano well?" Tian Yinqi was a little worried that the unknown luthier had an intention on Ruyi and would be unfavorable to Ruyi, so he immediately became vigilant.

Zou Ji smiled slowly, "The big string symbolizes the monarch's vigor and warmth, the small string symbolizes the clear and clear state minister, the hand string is very stable, and the release is very soothing, symbolizing the decree, the harmonious sound, the high and low complement each other, the twists and turns do not disturb each other, symbolizing the four times." ”

Ruyi said with a smile, "Sir knows music very well." ”

Zou Ji continued, "Not to mention the music, all the principles of governing the country and stabilizing the people are contained in the music. ”

Tian Yinqi was a little displeased, "If you talk about the truth of the five-tone law, no one may be able to catch up with Mr., but what does this governing the country and stabilizing the people have to do with this rhythm?" ”

"If the voice goes back and forth without chaos, the politics will be clear, and the upper and lower sides will be connected and communicated, and the national will continue to be extinct. Therefore, the harmony of the sound of the piano is the governance of the country. Zou Ji said again. I don't see any cowering, I don't see any arrogance, and my attitude is always the same.

"That's a good point." Ruyi clapped his hands and praised.

Tian Yinqi took off his guard at this time, and seriously pondered whether this is the reason, this is a rare talent.

The two also discussed the principles and policies of accepting advice, rectifying the administration of officials, and opening up the way of speech.

In the early days of the erection day, Tian Yin worshiped Zou Ji as the phase. The appointment of Tian Ji as a general and Sun Bin as a military adviser is aimed at the disadvantages of the dictatorship of the secretary and the lack of national strength. Rectify the rule of officials with an iron fist, repair the rule of law, and select talents and talents.

Ruyi looked for Ling Huyuan in the courtyard and found that Ling Huyuan was not in the courtyard, thinking that he was going to Wugong to see Wei Poppy, but he didn't care.

In the evening, Tian Yinqi held a banquet for Wei Pop and other envoys of the monarch who arrived first.

Ruyi stood in the apse and waited, watching Wei Pop and the others sit down one by one. But he didn't see Ling Huyuan for a long time.

Ruyi looked at the Chun Chang envoy sitting next to Wei Poppy and a bright strange woman standing behind him, which was a bit strange.

Ruyi looked carefully at the woman standing behind Wei Pop, with deep eye sockets, some exotic style, but she didn't know it. Ruyi laughed self-deprecatingly, too, he has been away for so long, maybe it is Wei Popxinna's concubine. Ruyi turned her head and no longer cared about the strange woman.

You don't care about others, and others may care about you. The strange woman was also looking for Ruyi's figure in the hall.

After a while, Tian Yinqi came and looked at Ruyi, who was still standing outside, and said, "Why don't you go in yet?" ”

"I'm waiting for Linghu Yuan." Ruyi said and looked outside.

"Let's go in first, go in and wait." Tian Yinqi was afraid that Ruyi would catch a cold, so he pulled Ruyi into the hall and sat down. Ruyi's location is at the bottom right of Tian Yinqi. and Wei Poppy sat opposite. Ever since Ruyi sat down, she has always felt that there is a strong line of sight locked on her, and Ruyi reluctantly looked up and looked back, only to find that it was not a line of sight, but three.

The three people on the other side were staring at themselves. Ruyi means that the head is big.

Tian Yinqi saw that everyone was almost seated, so he began to lift wine.

"Today's first glass of wine is a tribute to the guests who have come from afar." As he spoke, he turned his head and raised his glass to Wei Poppy, "Wei Hou, thank you for coming from thousands of miles to attend my birthday banquet in person." Today for Wei Hou to pick up the wind and wash the dust. After speaking, he raised his head and drank it all.

Tian Yinqi picked up the wine jug and filled the wine bottle again, and took it up, "Thank God for this second glass of wine for reuniting me with my sister." As he spoke, he raised his glass to Ruyi, raised his head and drank it all.

Ruyi can only be drunk with one drink.

Tian Yinqi picked up the wine jug and filled the wine bottle again, and picked it up, "This third cup of wine, to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Emperor of Zhou." ”

The envoys of all countries in the audience were all in awe of Qi Hou all of a sudden, the Zhou Dynasty was poor and weak, Qi Hou still thought about Zhou Tianzi, and Qi Hou was a virtuous monarch.

Immediately, the atmosphere became warm, and the envoys of various countries pushed glasses and exchanged glasses, toasted each other, and exchanged feelings and information. In the middle, there are singing and dancing, drumming and sheng.

Ruyi was a little worried about Ling Huyuan, and seemed a little absent-minded.

And the table of Wei Poppy on the opposite side was even more deserted, looking like no one should enter and be isolated from the world.

Wei Poppy kept looking at Ruyi and drank a glass of wine one after another, and even the Chun Chang envoy who poured wine next to him had a sour hand, and kept shaking his hand secretly.

Ruyi still felt too reluctant at first, and raised a glass to Wei Poppy. Later, when I saw him cup after cup, I didn't bother to pay attention to it.

But some people didn't seem to want to let her go like that. After three rounds of drinking, Wei Poppy suddenly stood up, raised his glass to Tian Yinqi and said, "Qi Hou, I don't know if the eldest princess of your country has a marriage match?" The widow is willing to take it. ”

One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the hall, which was originally lively and had to rely on shouting to communicate, suddenly fell silent.

Ruyi also sobered up all of a sudden, sat up straight, and looked at Wei Poppy with an unkind face. But Wei Poppy didn't look at him, just looked at Tian Yinqi and waited for a reply.

Of course, Tian Yinqi knows his sister's thoughts, and he will never joke about his sister's happiness, but above this hall, Wei Poppy suddenly became difficult, and it was really difficult to deal with.

Ruyi didn't wait for Tian Yinqi to think of the wording, and stood up directly and looked at Wei Poppy and said, "My mother died early, and I made a grand wish when my mother died, never marry before the age of thirty, and keep filial piety for my mother." ”

In the hall, Ruyi Qingyue's voice was loud.

No one expected that Ruyi would be so resolute and so ruthless to himself. Even Tian Yinqi's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi for a moment, and there seemed to be too much emotion under his expressionless face.

Ruyi got up and walked out of the main hall. Ruyi was bored, and walked briskly along the path for a while, and now Ruyi has practiced hard, whether it is kung fu or physical fitness.

By the time Wei Poppy caught up with her, Ruyi had already walked to the back garden.

"Are you really that unwilling?" Wei Poppy asked with some hurt.

"Wei Hou, we have already made it clear, why are you bothering again?" Ruyi didn't show weakness, looked at Wei Poppy and asked.

Being robbed like this by Ruyi, Bai Wei Pop also lost his temper, "You don't worry about Ling Huyuan?" ”

"What did you do to him?" Ruyi asked in surprise.

"I didn't do anything to him, but I could do anything to him." Wei Poppy replied with disdain on his handsome face with an evil face.

Ruyi thought of Ling Huyuan, who didn't appear tonight, and suddenly felt a little flustered, just as the so-called concern is chaotic. "You are despicable." Ruyi gritted his teeth and said.

"Am I despicable? I am fighting for the throne for you, just to protect you under my wings and protect you for a lifetime. I have suffered a lot of lovesickness for you, I have resisted the pressure for you, desperately want to marry you, make you the queen, and even ignore my father's oath and last words with the king of Qin. In the end, it became my meanness. Wei Poppy said that the injury, the handsome face was sad.

Ruyi was infected by Wei Poppy's sad emotions, sighed, and said, "You and I have no chance after all, why are you bothering." ”

Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi's back as he gradually walked away, his heart was like a knife, and his heart was dead.

Ruyi was infected by the emotion just now, and her heart was a little sad, and she was full of worries along the way. But when she was about to enter Zizhuyuan, Ruyi felt a hint of an unusual atmosphere.

Ruyi immediately became vigilant, cautiously held his breath and leaned into the courtyard gate next to the courtyard wall.

The night is dark, the moon is faint, the clouds are rolling, and there is no warm atmosphere of spring.

Ruyi vaguely recognized a man and a woman facing each other in the middle of the courtyard under the shadow of the moon, the man was Wu You who lived in his side courtyard, and the woman was the strange alien woman standing behind Wei Pop on the main hall just now.
