Since Liu Zhier and Dong Yanzhi rushed back to the palace from the northern Xinjiang town, the two have never felt at ease for a while. From time to time, or from time to time, Li Qiusheng's shadow will beat out of their hearts, and it deeply touches the hearts of the two of them invisibly. So that all the two of them thought about in their mouths all day long was the shadow of Li Qiusheng alone.

However, due to the lack of Li Qiusheng's existence, and the fact that the Queen Mother was also heavy for a while, all that came out of her mouth was about Li Qiusheng. Everyone was afraid that the Queen Mother would be obsessed with each other, and the other was afraid that seeing each other all day long would add to the suspense, so Liu Dong and the two had to temporarily rent a small courtyard in the capital in order to avoid suspicion of others.

The small courtyard is not big or small, but the pavilions and buildings are all available, and there are two people living together, and there are more than enough Zhuo Zhuo. What bright flowers shine on the water, the bright moon and bright stars, the sweat cows are full, and the surplus is not redundant. Such a place is also a quiet room that smells hard in the world.

After Liu Dong and the others moved in from the palace, in addition to worrying about Li Qiusheng every day and inquiring about the news transmitted in the palace, they also lived a peaceful and comfortable life. Compared with the previous days of running and working, it is much more comfortable and comfortable. After living together like this, the two were also flattered for a while, and their hearts were unhindered.

However, unable to withstand the mystery of Li Qiusheng's disappearance in the north, the queen mother Liang and the lord Li Tianzhao in the palace were in a hurry. On the one hand, the Empress Dowager Liang was thinking about Li Qiusheng, who had left the north all day long and caused a mystery of disappearance, and on the other hand, the lord of the country, Li Tianzhao, the general Li Liangguang, led the troops to the north. In this way, the thoughts of the mother and son are the same as those of Liu Dong and Liu Dong at this time, but they are also very lively.

On this day, more than a month has passed since General Li Liangguang led his troops north, but there is no news about Li Qiusheng. The lord of the country, Li Tianzhao, was so angry that he was furious in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a while, and he was furious.

He angrily pointed to the secret report that the prince had just sent in and shouted, "Why can there be news of Li Qiusheng today, isn't this the general Li Liangguang clearly perfunctory?" Li Qiusheng said that he couldn't find it because others couldn't find it, so why bother saying that there would be news in the secret report on the same day? General Li Liangguang's words of the same day, I have heard it countless times in the past month or so, but in the end, it is just a matter of passing the blame. As he spoke, he shook off the secret reports that had just been sent in, and they all fell to the ground.

A moment later, he suddenly saw Li Tianzhao staring at the secret reports scattered all over the place, and laughed wildly. "Li Qiusheng, I miss you as the son of the royal brother and the favorite grandson of the queen mother, and I will not hesitate to look for you with all my might. But what about you, why disappoint me! Don't you know that it is taboo for soldiers to send troops north? And the great general Li Liangguang, I have believed in you for so many years, and I don't want you to stand still at this time, so that I am deeply disappointed. What are you trying to do with this? ”

"And, besides, how dare you say in a secret report that you will be exempted from the orders of the foreign lord in order to act cheaply? I ask you, are you my courtier, not subject to the king's order? What kind of command do you have to do cheaply? Behold, you are self-respecting! ”

After hearing the curse of anger that the lord of the country Li Tianzhao hated so much, the prince was so frightened that he knelt down in the hall and muttered to himself. "Your Majesty, the slave thought that the general's move was really a last resort. Your Majesty, you can think about it quietly, the northern territory is vast, and the mountains are high and the forests are dense, if those thieves and traitors who take hostages hide Li Gongzi in any of these places, even if the lord of the country sends another 100,000 male soldiers to the north to look for it, it will be fruitless for a while. ”

"Therefore, the slave thought that that was the last resort of the great general Li Liangguang, one was to avoid the worry and anxiety of the lord, and the other was that the sudden march of the lord of the country to the north would inevitably arouse a high degree of suspicion from neighboring countries, and I think they would also camp troops in the north at this time to resist the sudden attack of our army. The three generals Li Liangguang are loyal and unrighteous people, and the servants thought that the general would never turn against him, and he suffered the favor of the lord of the country. ”

Li Tianzhao was angry, and suddenly heard the prince say such a reasonable statement, and his nervous heart just now seemed to be quieter for a while. He glanced suspiciously at the prince who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and suddenly said to himself with relief. "Alas, my lordship, I may have been so angry just now that I almost made an unforgivable mistake. You, sometimes you are really my good helper, and you can solve my worries and sorrows in a word. ”

"Father-in-law, get up, and don't kneel like this anymore. Just now, it's really hard for you. ”

"No, lord, don't say that. This is what a minion should do. The prince stood up and said, and then turned around and handed Li Tianzhao a cup of tea.

Li Tianzhao took the tea, and as soon as he put it to his lips, he heard a melodious and comfortable sound of the guqin suddenly coming from the courtyard of the next palace, as if the gurgling stream under the scorching sun was safely infiltrating everything. He asked in surprise, "Princess, is this the palace man in that palace playing the piano?" Why am I so fascinated by it? ”

The prince replied, "This, this, is Princess Ying of the West Courtyard learning the guqin skills?" The slave went over and stopped her, so as not to disturb the heart of the lord of the country. ”

"Slow, princess, since Princess Ying loves to practice the piano, let her go. Thinking about it, the sound of the piano can't disturb my pure cultivation heart. Li Tianzhao said with a smile, suddenly closed his eyes, and listened carefully, as if he was enjoying himself.

After a while, I suddenly heard the prince say again. "The lord of the country, the slave remembers. If you talk about this skill of piano and chess, I'm afraid that no one can win that Dong Yanzhi. ”

"Dong Yanzhi?" Li Tianzhao suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the top of the lying gun and said. "Princess-in-law, are you talking about Dong Yanzhi who will never leave Li Qiusheng in life and death? I had heard the sound of her piano, and it was indeed a masterpiece at that time, but unfortunately there was an unexpected failure at that time, and she just, alas, ,......"

Li Tianzhao shook his head for a while, and he couldn't say any more. The prince didn't know why, and pretended to be shocked. "Has the lord heard her harp? Isn't that a thing that I have never forgotten and still in my heart? ”

"It's a pity that she is Li Qiusheng's person, otherwise I would definitely have been recruited into the palace to listen to her piano skills." Li Tianzhao sighed indifferently for a while, as if he was very frustrated.

The prince glanced sideways, but when he saw the lord of the country, Li Tianzhao's mind suddenly lost his mind. He timidly stepped forward and prostrate, as if he was afraid of being punished, and said, "It is all right, my lord. Now Dong Yanzhi lives in another small courtyard in the capital, and is favored by the emperor. If the lord of the country wants to listen to her piano, chess, and music skills, and relieve the sorrow in his heart, the slave will arrange for the lord of the country to go. ”

Li Tianzhao was stunned for a moment and said, "King, king, father-in-law, is this okay?" Won't the Queen Mother object? ”

"Alas, what's wrong with this, the Queen Mother won't speak out against it." Wang Gonggong refuted Li Tianzhao's mind at this time, as if he had already planned this scene in his heart, and was waiting for the protagonist to drill inside.

Li Tianzhao sat down in silence and said nothing.

In the small courtyard of another house in the capital, Dong Yanzhi is like a fairy who has fallen into the world, sitting alone in the lotus heart pavilion by the pool, in a trance, leaning on the railing and looking.

At this time, her eyes were staring directly at a green lotus that had just come out of the water in the pool, and a red dragonfly that was swaying on the tip of the lotus. The sun shines like a spring day shining on the water. A guqin is like a sharp sword with a sheath box removed, shining brightly on the big case in the pavilion, which looks particularly antique.

The breeze fluttered, and the green lotus in the pool suddenly swayed, showing in Dong Yanzhi's eyes as if it was like a dream, as if Li Qiusheng's ethereal figure appeared at this moment. She snorted a few times stupidly, "Brother Qiusheng, Brother Qiusheng, where are you?" Don't you leave Yanzhi alone? Yan Zhi, I miss you. Where are you, come back quickly. ”

When Dong Yanzhi hummed softly like this, she suddenly stood up on the railing and stroked the guqin in a daze. Suddenly, the sound of the piano rose leisurely like an ethereal fairy music, and the heart was born in the Lotus Heart Pavilion with a happy heart, and it was transmitted directly to the indifferent and cold nine nights.

The song has ended, and the melodious sound of the piano is still lingering around, and the bleak situation is like a cloud of smoke. Dong Yanzhi raised her head slightly and glanced at the green lotus in the pool that had become shaky and ethereal, smiled bitterly, and stroked the piano again, and fell asleep in it for a long time. At this moment, Dong Yanzhi is like a catkins fluttering in the wind, with no roots and no reason; It is like a floating apple in the rain, drowning in the water, and rising from the tide.

When Dong Yanzhi's heart was so passionate, she adjusted the sound of the piano in her hand to the extreme. Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of crisp praise, and a man wearing a golden crape myrtle star sign silk suit stood in front of her.

Dong Yanzhi was taken aback, knelt down in a daze and exclaimed. "Grass, grass people, Dong Yanzhi meets the lord of the country! I don't know what the lord of the country is coming, what do you think? Please also ask the lord of the country to give me advice! With that, he kowtowed again and again.

I only heard the middle-aged man smile directly, "Miss Dong, it's polite, let's be even!" I'll give you a change of seat. After that, he himself had already sat down on the stone bench in the middle of the Hexin Pavilion for a while.

It's too late, it's too soon. Immediately flashed next to him, a prince with a deer dust in his hand, standing behind Li Tianzhao, as if he was waiting for his orders at any time.

Looking at the sudden posture of the two people in front of her, Dong Yanzhi was as frightened as a deer, and just as she was about to open her lips lightly to speak, she heard Li Tianzhao, the lord of the country, speak first.

"Miss Dong, I came here very suddenly, but I was really helpless. One is that I am already anxious about Li Qiusheng's disappearance, and I seem to be powerless. You might as well take this opportunity to discuss together, what is the right time? The second is also that I can't get rid of my mood for a while, so when I go out for leisure, I stop by to listen to the sound of Miss Dong's piano, chess, and music. I wonder if Miss Dong can sell me this bitter face? Let's spend this troublesome time together! ”

Dong Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and she was immediately stunned. "The little girl, who is only a shallow learner, how dare she get an axe in front of the lord of the country. Xiaoqu is difficult to stare at the elegant hall, which really disappointed the lord of the country. With that, he bowed deeply, and then stood there in horror, looking at the two of them indifferently.

Hearing Dong Yanzhi's resignation for a while, Li Tianzhao said indifferently. "Miss Dong, that's because you're too humble. I remember that back then, you also represented the Lei Du Second Mansion at the 'Qin Mandarin Festival' competition held in the 'Gaowang Mansion'. If it weren't for the broken strings of the halfway, you would have taken the laurels of that grand event. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

"Ah, Your Majesty still remembers the piano and chess event that year? When did your majesty see the little woman? Dong Yanzhi asked with wide eyes in shock, like a deer that had lost its square inch for a while, and she didn't know where to go.

"Of course, I've seen not only your face, but also your piano skills at that time. Even now, isn't there still rumors in the song shop that there are your praises? Say what 'If the piano is without Zhizhi, the music will not be an art.' If there is no Dong in the song, it is difficult to complete the five tones. Isn't that what you're talking about? Miss Dong, what I said is not wrong, right? ”

Li Tianzhao laughed and laughed for a while, and put the words of praise in the current qin, chess, qu and opera workshops in front of Dong Yanzhi for a while.

Dong Yanzhi was shocked for a moment, lowered her head and sighed leisurely. "Alas, I can't imagine that Your Majesty knows so much about the affairs of the world. However, why can't we know where Brother Qiusheng's others are now? ”

"Even though Your Majesty still remembers Dong Yanzhi vividly and affectionately, Dong Yanzhi is just an ignorant grass people, and it is not worth Your Majesty's heart."

"And Dong Yanzhi is no longer moving, her eyes are not moving, everything is dust."
