It turns out that I too have been robbed.

The Dayi Palace was built by the previous dynasty, and it was used for more than 60 years. It was extremely extravagant.Eunuch Lin led Pei Ruzhou around here for a long time, and finally walked around the Suihan Palace and walked into the palace.

Now the crown prince and the third prince have already left the palace to build a mansion, only the three younger princes are still studying in the palace.

Passing through the white jade corridor, and then bypassing the mica screen, you will arrive at the place where the princes study.

Pei Ruzhou walked to the screen just now, and before he saw half a figure, a burst of laughter came from his ears.

Why is it so lively here?

The next moment, I heard a young man say: "I haven't heard Liu Huangdi play the piano for a long time, and today I just have this opportunity. If Liu Huangdi doesn't play another song, it will be unreasonable."

There was no one in the Suihan Palace today, after the man finished speaking, the lingering sound echoed in Pei Ruzhou's ears over and over again.

... The sixth brother plays the piano.

How do I feel that I have heard of this person somewhere.

Wait, the sixth prince? !

Pei Ruzhou paused.

After pausing for a few breaths, he remembered why he was so familiar——

"Marquis Guangce recovered the fourteen countries in the Western Regions. In the same year, Qi Baili, the sixth son of the emperor, exterminated the guards and proclaimed himself emperor."

The last line of prophecy in vermilion pen on the Nine Heavens Golden Book once again appeared in Pei Ruzhou's mind.

Qi Baili, the sixth son of the emperor—isn't he the one who finally defeated all the immortals and ascended the throne, wearing the twelve crowns to rule the world!

However, such a powerful person, "Heavenly Prophecy" and the immortals of the Nine Heavens did not explain who he is.

...Could it be that Qi Baili is a human being just like himself?

The next moment, the voice of that brat just now also came from the other side of the screen.

"Yeah, Brother Six, I also want to listen to "Flowing Water and Empty Mountains", so you can play it~" Qi Yunyao said coquettishly.

At this moment, Pei Ruzhou finally walked around the screen and saw clearly the scene inside the hall.

The main hall is supported by mysterious wooden pillars about three feet high. In the Suihan Hall, which is as big as a small square, there are only a dozen books.

In the hall, apart from the eunuchs, maids and the brat who had just met, there was also a little fat man in red, and...a boy with his head bowed, and there was an old lyre on his lap.

In an instant, the words "Qi Baili" popped out from the depths of Pei Ruzhou's mind.

For the time being, no one in the hall noticed Pei Ruzhou's appearance, only to hear Qi Yunyao ask again: "Brother Liu Huang, do you know how to play "Flowing Water and Empty Mountains"? Then why don't we...change another song? "

The sixth prince still didn't speak, he really didn't seem to know how to play this piece.

Seeing this, the two eunuchs not far away couldn't help but look at each other, and then laughed out loud.

At this moment, Pei Ruzhou was in a daze, and he suddenly remembered that he saw the last page of "Heavenly Prophecy" in the Nine Heavens.In addition to the prophecy written by the vermilion pen, there are also divinations of the immortals recorded by the black pen.

——The Emperor Wei who died a year ago was a faint king comparable to King Zhou.Qi Baili, who was born as a proton, grew up in the Imperial Palace of Weiguo. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also developed the temperament of treating everything in the world as a plaything.

Although he rules the world, he can rule but not rule. He only loves to collect rare treasures from the world and send them to the palace for fun.In just ten years, the top-down corruption and extravagance have made life difficult for the people of the world, and the soldiers at the border are even more miserable.

Pei Ruzhou didn't expect that such a person would be so quiet, lonely and even... even be laughed at by eunuchs because he couldn't play music when he was young?

Could it be that he was forced to be like that by reality?Or, Qi Baili's current appearance is just pretending.

Seeing that Qi Baili has been silent, not only the eunuchs in the distance, but even the palace maid holding the musical instrument behind him, couldn't help lowering her head and laughing.

Pei Ruzhou's lightness kung fu was excellent, and he didn't make any sound under his feet when he walked.But Eunuch Lin who followed him to the palace was different.

Just as he stood still, the black wood floor under Eunuch Lin's feet creaked softly.

In an instant, all the people in the hall cast their gazes over.

The little fat man in red didn't see Eunuch Lin who was blocked by the screen. He was startled, and immediately widened his eyes: "You...you!"

Pei Ruzhou: "...Me, me, me?"

"You, who are you? Why did you eavesdrop on us!"

slander!I'm clearly listening!

"I..." Pei Ruzhou hesitated for a moment, and asked instinctively: "Didn't His Highness want to listen to "Flowing Water and Empty Mountains"?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Lin's eyes widened.

Long live!Pei Ruzhou again? ?What do you want to do?

He wanted to remind Pei Ruzhou that in front of the prince, he should not be big or small, and he must salute properly when meeting.But after a pause, Eunuch Lin swallowed the words abruptly.

Hey, forget it.

After spending the whole morning with Pei Ruzhou, Eunuch Lin has already discovered that this son who came from the border crossing really doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​how to do things.He is completely unrestrained, does not understand etiquette at all, and is too free and enthusiastic.

In short, it is completely different from the nobles in Huazhang Palace.

Pei Ruzhou had just saved half of his life, this matter...he just turned a blind eye and let it go.

While speaking, Pei Ruzhou has already walked forward quickly.

At this moment, the Seventh Prince, who is also Immortal Wen An from the Nine Heavens, wants to listen to "Flowing Water and Empty Mountains".And the future emperor of Dayi, it seems that he doesn't know this song, and he is embarrassed because of it.

Since he can't do it, it's better to replace me.

It's really meaningless for this large group of people to chatter.

Wouldn't it be nice to just be a little bit simpler?

Pei Ruzhou didn't see it, but when he heard that he was going to play the piano for Qi Baili, the expressions of all the people in the hall became very weird and wonderful.

In Dayi, dignitaries and dignitaries practice music to cultivate their sentiments, not to perform for others.As for full-time musicians, they are low-ranking. Asking an emperor to play the piano is humiliating in itself.

How could someone catch up with this?The most important thing is that he actually went against the Seventh Prince, who can be called a tyrant in the palace... What audacity!

Cough cough, in fact Pei Ruzhou grew up in Zhoulan Pass, and Princess Shuming never taught him this.So he really didn't know, and didn't realize at all, that Qi Yunyao was actually embarrassing Qi Baili just now...

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the brat to say anything else, Pei Ruzhou, who was super active, flew past everyone's eyes like a white flame.

The next moment, he was standing beside the palace maid who was giggling.

"Lend me your pipa."

"what?"

Seeing that the other party was stunned, Pei Ruzhou smiled and took Qin over by himself: "Thanks."

Pei Ruzhou, who was dressed in white, looked around and sat directly on an empty desk. It seemed that he hadn't thought about etiquette or image at all.

Seeing this, Eunuch Lin, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally came over, and seeing him appear, the little fat man in red was taken aback.

But before Eunuch Lin arrived, he was stopped by Qi Yunyao, who had become expressionless at some point.

"Let him go, don't worry about it."

The maid's pipa is painted with red flowers and green leaves, which looks extremely gaudy at first glance.But Pei Ruzhou, who was dressed in white, suppressed all the vulgarity, leaving only a gleam of glamour.

Holding the pipa in his arms, he quickly swept the strings twice with his right hand.

"This piano is not bad." Pei Ruzhou said with a smile.

At this time, the maid behind Qi Baili's face was turning green.

Just after trying the strings, the young master sitting on the case became quiet.Pei Ruzhou's slender fingers hung in the air, and after a pause for a few seconds, the music like a jade pendant flowed out from under his hands.

Under Pei Ruzhou's hands, the flowing water and empty mountains are no longer the thin streams in the empty valleys in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but the majestic rivers going east in the northern part of the country, and the snow-capped mountains towering into the sky.

The slender and pale fingers fluttered on the strings, amidst the chaos, there was not only the sound of music, but also a vague sense of killing.

The sound of pipa intertwined with the sound of water outside the hall, echoing in everyone's ears.

It turns out that this piece of music can still be played like this?

When the music reached a high point, Pei Ruzhou suddenly raised his left hand, and his fingertips touched the strings.With this movement, the wide sleeves slid down, revealing her slender wrists.

Accompanied by this, there is also a row of fine tattoos.It is particularly prominent on Pei Ruzhou Yubai's forearm.

Accompanied by the music, Qi Baili, who had been keeping his head down all the time, finally raised his head, and those eyes, which were as quiet as a pool of cold pools, also looked at Pei Ruzhou.

At this time, there was no trace of unwillingness after being humiliated on his face, and there was even a bit of imperceptible excitement in those black eyes of crows—like a beast that had seen blood.

I don't know what the son of the Pei family is going to do?

……

Immortal music was bursting in the Suihan Palace, at the same time, a touch of light yellow suddenly appeared outside the palace, and behind him, there were more than ten court ladies and eunuchs.

When he stood still, the eunuch who was listening obsessively outside the hall finally noticed the person coming, and then he couldn't help being startled, and cold sweat broke out all over his back.

In an instant, a crowd fell to their knees outside the hall: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is thousands of years old..."

Wearing a goose-yellow gown, the crown prince's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he had an extremely elegant demeanor. At this moment, he was standing in front of the hall with a smile, with a somewhat lazy expression on his face.

"Hush," the prince smiled, waved his hand to signal the people around him not to speak, and asked after a while, "Who is the person playing the piano inside?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is Pei Ruzhou, the eldest son of Zhenxi General's Mansion."

"...Pei Ruzhou?" The crown prince slowly repeated these three words, and finally remembered the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up, don't make a sound."

"what?"

Before the eunuchs wanted to understand what the prince meant, they watched him retreat to the left and right, and walked into the hall alone.

The prince did not disturb the piano player, but stood beside the mica screen and looked at the young man playing the piano.

The music gradually became softer, and Pei Ruzhou also slowly raised his eyes at this time.

But in an instant, the bright sun behind him and the palace maids in front of him were all reduced to a foil.

It is as bright as the sun rising from the morning glow, and as bright as a flower coming out of Lubo.

And in this moment of looking back and looking forward, even the prince who is used to seeing beauties suddenly felt empty.
