Arrived at the gate of the palace, the two looked up, only to see that the palace gate was very tall and magnificent, a silver plaque engraved with three big characters "Nanqing Palace", on both sides of the gate placed a pair of majestic and lifelike golden lions. This should have been a heavily guarded mansion, but at this moment, the gate was wide open, and there was not even a guard at the door.

Murong Yunyao felt very strange when she saw this, and asked, "Chitose, why don't you have a few guards at the gate of your palace, even the gate is so wide open, aren't you afraid that someone will go in and steal things?" ”

Zhao Defang smiled: "Stealing? Whoever dares to steal in this palace, even if he has ten heads, it is not enough to cut off! ”

Murong Yunyao nodded, "That's right, this place is so close to the palace, as long as Chitose shouts, the inner guards can follow the sound, there is really no need to spend money to support idlers?" ”

Yun Zixiao frowned slightly at this time, as if he was thoughtful. As his gaze finished looking at his surroundings again, his brows suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, a melodious and pleasant sound of silk and bamboo suddenly came from the Nanqing Palace, and the sound was so loud that it had spread to every corner of Bianliang City. Zhao Defang closed his eyes slightly when he heard the sound, and his expression became very intoxicated, as if he heard the sound of heaven, "This is the latest ancient song "Chu Hongfu" composed by this king, and the singers at home are rehearsing day and night, so please invite the two of you to appreciate it with this king today?" ”

Murong Yunyao smiled and shook her head, "Chitose, I only love to dance and play with swords since I was a child, and I don't know anything about music, so I can't ......" Before she finished speaking, Yun Zixiao preemptively said: "Very good!" Unexpectedly, Chitose is still so elegant, and I sincerely wish to listen to it! ”

Zhao Defang smiled and made a gesture of please, "The two of you are willing to teach, Xiao Wang can't ask for it, please enter the palace quickly!" ”

The three of them sat down in the Yin'an Palace, and Zhao Defang slapped his palms three times, "Come on, play the latest arrangement of "Chu Hongfu" for this king and the two distinguished guests!" ”

As soon as his words fell, five or six gorgeously dressed girls floated into the hall with musical instruments in their arms. Entering the hall and saying goodbye to the three of them, he was elegant and charming in his gestures. Zhao Defang looked at the girls with a smile, and raised his right hand slightly, "Get up, get up!" ”

The girls said in unison, "Thank you." Then they found a suitable place in the hall to put down the instrument, and began to play Zhao Defang's personal arrangement of "Chu Hongfu", only to hear the sound of the piano, sometimes smart, sometimes sonorous, "Chu has a great time, three years without a sound." Chu has a great deal of life, and he doesn't fly for three years. The world does not know it, and it is called a bird. Smile and ask Zhixi, soaring into the sky......"

Zhao Defang listened while tapping lightly on the table in front of him, very comfortable. Yun Zixiao closed his eyes and seemed to be listening with relish. Only Murong Yunyao felt bored and bored listening. She looked at Yun Zixiao and then at Zhao Defang, and saw that both of them were intoxicated by the music, and they had no time to pay attention to themselves, so they simply got up and left the hall.

When Murong Yunyao first came to the Nanqing Palace, she felt that everything was fresh, and she looked east and west, and soon lost her way. She wanted to find someone to ask, but she walked for a long time and didn't see anyone, so she had to go around blindly in the east and west of the palace. The more I turned, the more I felt that the pavilions and pavilions in front of me were much the same, and I didn't find the Yin'an Hall of Fang Cai when I went around.

She saw a very elegant pavilion in front of her, and simply walked in. Although this building has only one floor, it is taller than the other two-storey pavilion. There are dozens of verdant bamboos planted in the courtyard, which are obviously transplanted from the south. The breeze blows through the bamboo forest, making a pleasant sound of bamboo waves, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, which is refreshing.

Murong Yunyao slowly came to the door and knocked lightly, "Is there anyone?" Is anyone there? She knocked a few times and saw that no one answered, so she casually pushed open the door and walked in cautiously.

She was greeted by a strong scent of paper and ink, which made her a little dizzy. She rubbed her head gently with her hands as she carefully examined the room. I saw that in the middle of the room there was a beautifully carved yellow sandalwood bookcase, on which were placed the four treasures of the study room and two stacks of thick rice paper, the left rice paper was painted with a danqing or carrying a poem, and the rice paper on the right was ready to be used at any time. There are four tall bookcases on both sides of the bookcase, which is quite spectacular. And on the powder wall behind the bookcase, there is also a pair of couplets, the momentum is continuous, the words are endless and the meaning is endless, the upper couplet book "at any time to discuss ancient and modern things", and the lower couplet is accompanied by "all day to put the poetry wine room".

Murong Yunyao saw that the Danqing on the table was very beautiful, and picked up the top one casually. But I see that there is an unusually beautiful mountain painted in the painting, the mountain peaks loom between the unpredictable sea of clouds, and you can vaguely see that there seems to be a village made of white bricks between the sea of clouds, and the white bricks are reflected crystal clear by the sun, just like the best mutton fat and jade, beautiful and illusory, it seems that it is not a building in the world, as if it is a palace of nine heavens.

"What kind of place is this? Why haven't you heard my father mention it? Murong Yunyao stared at the painting suspiciously for a long time, and then smiled: "I'm so stupid, such a beautiful scenery must not be in the mortal world, but in the sky!" As she spoke, she casually flipped through the other danqing.

While she looked at it, she also made a serious comment, as if she was an expert in Danqing. After a while, she looked at the danqing on the table, and was about to turn around and leave, but she was suddenly attracted by a painting in front of her.

I saw that this painting depicts a beautiful young woman, she is richly dressed, and she also carries a string of jade chains on her wrists, and holds a lively and lovely little girl in her arms. Murong Yunyao was surprised to find that whether it was this young woman or the child in her arms, her eyebrows were very similar to herself.

Murong Yunyao was stunned, her expression was indescribably surprised, and the familiar and strange woman appeared in her mind again. Her instinct told herself that the woman in her mind was the same person as the young woman painted on Danqing, and she must have a great relationship with herself.

She was thinking wildly when there was a sudden burst of laughter at the door. I only heard one person laugh and said: "Haha, this king said how could he fall in love like this when he saw Yun Gongzi, I didn't expect you and I to be cousins!" There is only one elder brother in this king's family, and he has been guarding outside all the year round, and now his cousin came to Nanqing Palace by chance, which is really a great joy! ”

Another person also smiled: "I heard my grandfather mention that my grandmother was pregnant with two brothers and sisters, and they were separated for some reason when they were young. After that, the elder brother was brought to Lianxia Mountain by his grandfather's best friend Cha Yiqing, inherited the mantle of his great-grandfather, and took charge of Shuiyun Pavilion. And her sister was raised by her grandfather's fellow disciple You Ninghan, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she asked her to call Youfan, who was a few years younger than herself, her brother. Later, the elder brother assisted Murong Yanyun to create a hegemony, but the younger sister married Taizu Zhao Kuangyin as a concubine. After so many years, we have all grown so big, and we finally have to meet here today! ”

The person who spoke first smiled and said: "Don't hide it from my cousin, my younger brother has been yearning for Shuiyun Pavilion for so many years, if it weren't for my father's decree to exterminate Shuiyun Pavilion, I would definitely have a good visit there!" ”

The two had already entered the gate while talking, and they were all taken aback when they saw Murong Yunyao who was holding Danqing in a daze. Murong Yunyao heard the footsteps of the two, and then came back to his senses, turned to look at the two people who came side by side, it was Zhao Defang and Yun Zixiao.

Zhao Defang smiled when he saw Murong Yunyao: "Miss Murong, don't you think you are very similar to the person in the painting?" I take the liberty to ask, does the girl know Zhao Chanxue? ”

Murong Yunyao said strangely: "Yes! I also feel like I'm like the person in the painting. But I don't know Zhao Chanxue, is the person in the painting called Zhao Chanxue? ”

Zhao Defang smiled and said, "This king just asked casually. By the way, I really have to thank you girl today! If you hadn't persuaded Yun Gongzi to come to the Nanqing Palace together, I was afraid that our brothers would have missed out! ”

Murong Yunyao was stunned and asked, "Brother? Brother Yun and Chitose are you brothers? She said and looked at the two carefully, shook her head for a while and said, "It's not like it! You brothers don't look alike, right? ”

Zhao Defang heard this: "Of course it's right! We are cousins, naturally not very alike. He looked at Yun Zixiao again and smiled: "However, this king thinks that we still look a little similar if you look closely." ”

Murong Yunyao also smiled, "Chitose, you just said that Brother Yun looks like Zhao Pulai, why did you say that he looked like you after a while?" Although Brother Yun's surname is Yun, he is not really a cloud, will it not change? ”

Zhao Defang was speechless for a while by her question, so he simply ignored her, but picked up a painting from the bookcase and said to Yun Zixiao: "Cousin, the younger brother just invited you over, I want you to give me some advice on my poems and paintings, let's look at the paintings." ”

Yun Zixiao took Danqing, and saw that the above depiction was his childhood residence Lianxia Mountain, whether it was a mountain stream, a sea of clouds or a looming Shuiyun Pavilion, it was vividly depicted, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zhao Defang hurriedly said: "Cousin, the Danqing painted by the younger brother is really so unbearable to look at directly? ”

Murong Yunyao smiled: "Haha, what do you think? Brother Yun never cries! ”

Yun Zixiao shook his head for a while and said, "No! Cousin, the Lianxia Mountain you painted is so similar that it reminds the foolish brother of the past. But my cousin won't paint it again in the future, Lianxia Mountain is a taboo in the Great Song Dynasty, if you let the saint know, I'm afraid it will be bad for you! ”

Zhao Defang nodded, "Haha, cousin is too worried!" In this study room except for this king, no one is allowed to enter at will, even if the saint is in the Nanqing Palace, the younger brother will also find a way to make him bypass here, cousin can rest assured! ”

Yun Zixiao sighed when he heard this, "Alas, what my cousin said lightly, but the foolish brother is extremely envious!" I want to face the saint but can't get it, but my cousin can often face you, which is really enviable. ”

Zhao Defang smiled when he heard this: "Haha, what's so difficult about this!" Cousin wants to see the Holy One? This matter is very easy to do, why don't we go into the palace together tomorrow to face the saint! ”
