The dishes at the banquet were prepared extremely exquisitely, many of which were unique to the Northwest, with all the color, flavor and flavor.

Baili Junyi tasted the dishes and wine, and the sense of disobedience in his heart became stronger and stronger, he always felt that the officials in Zhou Cheng were too enthusiastic and respectful, even if the officials here were jealous of his identity, but they were not so jealous as to be cautious and flattering.

Shen Ninghua didn't think much about it, and when he heard a sound of bamboo, he looked at the door with interest.

A woman wearing a red shirt and a light veil to cover her face walked in, she held a turquoise jade flute, the ten fingers set off were as slender as jade, the skirt was slightly long, and she dragged it away charmingly behind her, and her steps were light and walking on the ground as if she was stepping on the clouds, and the whole person was fluttering like a fairy.

Everyone in the hall was attracted by the appearance of the woman, they had already heard of the good name of the daughter of the Zhou family, but unfortunately the head of the Zhou family was very well protected, and there were not many people who had really seen it, so they could finally feast their eyes today.

A hand of Qiang flute and willow music came from afar, expressing the woman's delicate sorrow very tactfully, which made people can't help but feel a little pity and exploration in their hearts. Pity her full of sorrow, and want to find out who made her unforgettable.

At the end of the song, the woman bowed and saluted: "The folk girl Zhou Jingshu has seen the prince of the county, the princess of the county, and the lords. ”

Zhou Jingshu's heart was extremely nervous, sweat broke out in her palms, and her eyes involuntarily swept over Baili Jun's handsome and peerless face, only to feel that the whole heart was fluttering and beating violently.

Although the music she played was very good, it was far from being amazing, and everyone was somewhat disappointed after listening to it, after all, the rumors about her were too good. But when I heard her speak, I immediately felt a tremor in my heart.

Her voice is very special, clear and transparent, without the slightest artificiality, but it attracts people's attention, and the special voice is like a lover whispering in the ear, attracting people to listen wholeheartedly.

Shen Ninghua secretly said in his heart that this was the case, and said: "Miss Zhou is exempt, and the Zhou family is quiet, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

Zhou Jingshu hurriedly shook her head: "The princess praised it falsely, the people's daughter is really not on the stage at all." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Come into the table, and arrange a seat for you next to your brother." ”

Zhou Jingshu paused, and then agreed: "Yes, thank you princess." ”

When she sat down in her seat, she looked up at Baili Junyi, and saw that he was turning his head to listen to what Shen Ninghua said, and her heart swelled with disappointment.

Her performance today was specially designed, thinking that playing a jade flute song would inevitably cause disappointment to everyone, at this time, she opened her mouth and used a unique voice to contrast, she could attract everyone's attention, and when Shen Ninghua opened her mouth to ask, she took off her veil and showed her singing voice, which would definitely leave a deep impression on Baili Junyi.

Who knew that Shen Ninghua didn't have the slightest intention of inquiry, and only let her sit next to her brother. Even Baili Junyi never set his eyes on her.

Zhou Jingshu slowly walked up to Zhou Ziqing and called out in a low voice: "Brother." ”

Zhou Ziqing's face sank slightly, and he lowered his voice and reproached: "How can you be so rude? ”

"Rude? I didn't. ”

Although Zhou Ziqing lowered his voice, the voice could still be heard by everyone clearly.

"In front of King Yijun and Princess Jun, it is still unseemly to hide it." Zhou Ziqing said, got up and saluted Shen Ninghua to apologize, "My sister can't be on the stage, and I ask the princess to forgive me." ”

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes slightly, and saw Zhou Jingshu, who was following Zhou Ziqing, with her eyes full of water, and a pair of sparkling autumn eyes, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips: "The head of the Zhou family is too careful, and Sister Ling's actions are not the slightest inappropriate, how can I forgive me?" ”

Zhou Jingshu stepped forward and knelt down: "The princess is generous and doesn't care, it really makes the people embarrassed." As she spoke, she took off her veil and said in a sincere tone, "The folk girl lost her manners, she originally served her beauty, and she heard of the princess's good name, so she had a little bit of a showy mind in front of you, so she had the action just now, and now she has seen the princess's heavenly posture, and she has been kind and generous to the princess, and she is really frightened." ”

When these words came out, Baili Junyi secretly applauded on the side, they have seen a lot of women with different minds in Kyoto, but Jing Shu is the first one who can say it so well.

The smile on Shen Ninghua's face deepened more and more: "Hurry up, raise your head too, let me see, since you have already said that I am tolerant and generous, I naturally don't care about you a little more carefully." ”

Zhou Jingshu slowly raised her head when she heard this, she really lived up to her reputation, with a delicate and delicate face, soft eyebrows, and eyes like water, she was a rare first-class beauty.

If there was no Shen Ninghua's cold and beautiful beauty, Zhou Jingshu would indeed be intoxicating, but with Shen Ninghua's bright moon in front, and then looking at Zhou Jingshu with anticipation, I felt that this pearl was a little discolored.

Zhou Jingshu didn't care about the disappointment of the people around her, her attention was all on Baili Junyi. He finally looked at himself, finally looked at himself!

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, trying to bring out the best in herself.

Zhou Ziqing opened his mouth and said: "The prince, the princess, my sister is young, and she is spoiled by her father and mother, and she is completely spoiled, please don't blame the two of you." ”

Baili Junyi didn't care: "It's okay, the two of you can sit down." ”

Although he couldn't show his singing voice in front of Baili Jun's full glory, but to be able to get him to look at him squarely, Zhou Jingshu was already flushed with excitement, and she sat on the seat and hung her head slightly, not daring to raise her face.

Shen Ninghua's eyes flashed with a streamer, this Zhou Jingshu looked extremely simple, but Baili Junyi had a heart of admiration, but today was the first time they met, how could she like someone she had never met? It seems that this week's home is indeed interesting.

Baili Junyi didn't notice Zhou Jingshu's thoughts, and after she sat down, she no longer paid attention, but listened to Zhou Da and others talk about the situation in Zhou Cheng.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua looked out of the door at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Da frowned with doubts on his face: "This official doesn't know, so I'll send someone to take a look." ”

The noise only lasted for a short while, and after a while, it quieted down, and a guard who came with him came to report: "The prince and princess of Huiyu County, a few people fell outside the Qilin Garden, and the fruits and vegetables they were carrying fell all over the ground, which caused an uproar. ”

"Well, but it's all right?"

"Yes, it's been dealt with." As soon as the guard's words fell, the noise of the takeaway sounded again, and a few screams came.

Baili Junyi's face sank: "This king will go and see it in person." ”

Zhou Da's face changed: "How can you work for the prince, just go down to the official to deal with it." ”

"No," Baili Junyi got up directly and walked directly to the door.

Zhou Da was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, at this time, don't make a mess, thinking about it, he glared at the officials next to him fiercely: "Don't hurry up and keep up." "It's clear that people have paid special attention, how can there still be people carrying fruits and vegetables passing by? What do the officers and soldiers below do to eat?

Before she got closer, she smelled a smell of blood, Shen Ninghua's eyebrows furrowed, and the green finch on the side had already spontaneously blocked in front of her.

As soon as he turned the corridor, the scene in front of him made Baili Jun angry.

I saw a few civilians dressed in cloth clothes lying on the ground, and several officers and soldiers next to them were punching and kicking them, and some of them were beaten to the head and bleeding, and the blood on the ground was messy.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wang ...... The prince, the slave has seen the prince of the county, and the princess of the county. Those officers and soldiers saw Baili Junyi and a group of people coming, and hurriedly knelt down.

"What are you doing answering the king's words?"

The faces of those officers and soldiers were pale, and when they saw Zhou Da walking quickly, their eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, Zhou Da had the heart to kill these people, so they paid special attention to it, and there was a mess elsewhere, but they didn't expect there to be a disturbance.

"What's the matter, it's not that people are not allowed to come in today, how did you get in, and what do you want?"

Baili Junyi turned his head: "Listen to Lord Zhou, did these people deliberately cause a riot and then plot against it?" ”

"Yes," Zhou Da said in a serious tone, "The prince doesn't know, there are no people coming in this Qilin Garden on weekdays, what they did today must have heard that the prince and the princess were here, and they deliberately mixed in, but fortunately, the officers and soldiers were alert, so they didn't succeed." ”

Baili Junyi's breath was cold: "That's the case...... And some of you lifted up your heads, and the king asked you, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" ”

Some of the people who were beaten couldn't get up, but those who could get up were curled up and kneeling on the ground, trembling slightly, not daring to make any sound.

Baili Jun's brows furrowed even tighter. Zhou Da on the side breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Wang, these people look extremely suspicious, the lower officials will let people take them back for good interrogation, and inform you as soon as the results are available." ”

Baili Junyi sneered: "Didn't Lord Zhou think that this king is easy to deceive? If these people had the heart to do evil, how could they be beaten so miserably by a few officers and soldiers? And seeing that they are all dressed as ordinary people, and their bodies are extremely thin, and if they give them a few knives, they may not be able to hold them steadily, this king is curious, where did you see that they are suspicious? ”

Zhou Da opened his mouth and stammered: "This ...... This ......"

Zhou Ziqing stepped forward and said: "What the prince said is reasonable, these people are carrying fruits and vegetables, I think they should be sending food to Qilin Yuan, maybe there is some misunderstanding, they have no intention of breaking into here, and they are discovered by the officers and soldiers, in order to protect the safety of the prince and the princess, this is a big fight, or ask the doctor to come over to help these people take a look, so as not to be too seriously injured." ”

"Yes, what the head of the Zhou family said is reasonable, a few of you, quickly help these people down to find a doctor for treatment. Lord and princess of the county, let's go back first, someone here will take care of it. ”

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Baili Junyi looked at Ye Yi who was following behind him: "You go and take a look to make sure that these people come back after nothing else." ”

Zhou Da lowered his head and his face sank, but when he saw that the two of them finally returned to the main hall, his heart was slightly relieved, he glared at the officers and soldiers fiercely, and strode to keep up with the footsteps of Baili Junyi.
