It turns out that I too have been robbed.

At the end of the song, the room was silent.

The person who asked Qi Baili to play the piano was only intentional to humiliate him, and had no intention of appreciating him at all.But after Pei Ruzhou played "Flowing Water and Empty Mountain", everyone only had the soft sound of the piano in their hearts, and they didn't have the time to think about anything else.

"Hiss—" I pressed the strings with a bit too much strength just now, Pei Ruzhou's fingertips felt a slight pain as if being cut by a knife, the tremor from the strings spread all the way to the wrist, turning into a burst of soreness numb.

But he found that he didn't hate this feeling at all, on the contrary, he felt extremely happy.

"Young Master Pei is very good at playing the piano!" Before everyone could get out of the sound of the piano, a burst of voices suddenly came from outside the Suihan Palace, breaking the silence of the room.

Pei Ruzhou who was holding the pipa was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the speaker.

Who is this person?

Before he could tell the identity of the person through the light-yellow gown, Eunuch Lin standing aside suddenly said loudly: "See His Royal Highness, the prince is a thousand years old!"

Prince? !

Isn't this the Yitai Immortal Lord who first descended to the realm?

As soon as Eunuch Lin uttered his voice, everyone in the hall immediately fell to their knees, and even the brats behaved themselves.

At this moment, the crown prince stepped forward, gently supported Pei Ruzhou's wrist, and interrupted his salute.

"Excuse me," the crown prince looked at Pei Ruzhou and smiled, then turned to Eunuch Lin and said, "Find someone to take a look at Mr. Pei's fingers, don't hurt them."

Pei Ruzhou, who grew up in the Zhoulan Pass military camp, likes to hang shoulders with others, but the prince's actions made him feel a little awkward... No, it's disgusting.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Pei Ruzhou also smiled at the prince, and then gently pulled his wrist back.

The crown prince felt Pei Ruzhou's rejection, he just smiled and didn't speak.

A pointed chin, thin red lips, and those pair of peach blossom eyes.

——He didn't expect that Pei Ruzhou not only didn't find any flaws from a close look, but was even more stunning than a long-distance look.

At this time, other people in the Suihan Palace also stood up, the prince glanced casually, and said with some disapproval: "Yunyao, you are messing around again."

"Hahaha, it's just a little joke." Qi Yunyao stuck out his tongue, obviously not taking the prince's words seriously, and the prince didn't say any more.

mess around?Are you messing around again?

Pei Ruzhou didn't understand what the prince meant, but the next moment, when he was about to return the pipa in his hand to the maid, he suddenly saw something extraordinary.

Why did Qi Baili break a string on that lyre?

Looking at the flat section, the strings should have been artificially cut with a sharp tool.

Qi Baili had been sitting just now, with his wide sleeves covering the body of the piano, so that Pei Ruzhou didn't notice it at all.

Although Pei Ruzhou still didn't know that asking the emperor to play the piano was to humiliate him.

But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly understood - the brat who asked Qi Baili to play "Flowing Water and Empty Mountain" just now was deliberately tricking him!

Qi Yunyao is indeed a brat.

Pei Ruzhou thought of his own brother who had just turned eight years old. He was at the most naughty age, and he was exactly the same as Qi Yunyao.

Although he knew Qi Yunyao's true identity, Pei Ruzhou, who had confronted him just now, was not afraid.

Although the current Qi Yunyao is a brat, the thousand-year-old Yao'an Xianjun is definitely not like that.If I follow him and become a dude for the rest of my life, I am afraid that I will become a part of Yao'an Xianjun's dark history and be ruthlessly destroyed by the other party.

In short, it's true to have a good relationship with him, but you can't just let the brat do nothing.

It was almost noon, not long after the prince came, the people in the Suihan Palace finally returned to their respective palaces, and Pei Ruzhou was also brought back to his residence by Eunuch Lin.

In the morning, the emperor said in the hall that the Pei family is full of loyalty and has been stationed at the Zhoulan Pass for more than [-] years. Now there are only three mothers and children left. As the emperor and elder brother, he must take good care of him.

So Pei Ruzhou was not only left to study in the palace, but even directly lived in the side hall of the Woyun Palace of the Empress Dowager.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the supreme honor and favor.

But Pei Ruzhou didn't feel anything special.

In the previous eight hundred years, there were as many as twenty dynasties with names and surnames.The dynasties are like clouds in the sky, they gather and disperse, and they have never been stable. Until now, the world is still divided into four parts.

Gao Zu was born as a military general in the previous dynasty, and the most feared general after the founding of the country is also a military general.

Although Pei Ruzhou had never led an army to fight, he knew that the soldiers, horses, food and grass in Zhoulan Pass had always been watched as if they were guarding against thieves.

The relationship between the emperor and the princess is good, but in the same way, what he likes is not the Pei family who lived and guarded the day orchid pass, but the Pei family who died to guard his country.

Therefore, Pei Ruzhou never felt that this "glory favor" was so great. For a while, wealth doesn't mean anything. In the future, he will leave Fengcheng and return to Zhoulan Pass.

In the future, the East Palace.

Under the small pavilion on the top of Xieshan Mountain, the prince in a light yellow gown with loose long hair leans on a stone chair with two seats in cloud patterns.

Behind him is a maid wearing a lotus crown, combing her hair carefully.There are also two teenagers holding fans, slowly blowing a cool breeze.

After an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his mouth lazily, and said to the girl on the stone bench not far away: "Change the piano on the table, and play "Flowing Water and Empty Mountains."

"Yes." Le Nu walked quickly, and carefully carried the pipa on the stone table in the pavilion into her arms.

Seeing the appearance of this pipa, she couldn't help being a little puzzled - this lute is really ordinary, and the flowers and plants painted on it are even more rough and vulgar.Why did the prince suddenly want to use this piano by himself?

At this time, Le Nu was a little puzzled, but if the people from the Sui Han Palace were here this morning, they would definitely be shocked.

This pipa is actually exactly the same as the one Pei Ruzhou played in the morning.

No... it is clearly that one!

Before Le Nu started to play, the prince who had half-closed his eyes suddenly looked at her, and said, "That's not right."

What's wrong?Le Nu was taken aback by him, and looked over anxiously.

"Your Highness?" she asked cautiously.

"Change into white clothes."

"Yes." Although Le Nu was extremely puzzled, she followed the prince's instructions and hurried back to change into plain clothes.

But just as she walked into the pavilion, she heard the prince say again: "It's still not right."

After a pause, the prince sat up straight, waved his hands, and said impatiently: "Go down, and another musician will come over."

Then I did not forget to add: "Wear plain clothes."

"Yes." Le Nu didn't understand what happened to the prince today, and when she heard this, she hurriedly withdrew.

After half a cup of tea time, a luthier in plain clothes walked into the pavilion again.Hearing that the prince was in a bad mood today, he didn't dare to breathe when he walked into the pavilion.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the prince put down the teacup in his hand, but when he looked up and saw the musician with powder on his face, he became even more irritable.

"Tacky, why is it so tacky."

In an instant, the pavilion fell to its knees.

The prince stood up, he stretched out his hand to touch the center of his eyebrows, and walked out without saying a word.

Only the people in the pavilion were left in panic, not understanding what happened today.

……

In the early summer afternoon, the weather has gradually become hot and dry.

Different from the East Palace where countless people served, at this time in the Fuxun Palace located on the south side of Huazhang Palace, half of the maids and eunuchs could not be seen.

When Pei Ruzhou came here, seeing the slightly shabby palace with no one guarding it, he wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

"Mr. Pei, this is the residence of the Sixth Prince." Seeing him staring at the words "Fuxun Palace" without saying a word for a long time, the little eunuch sent by the Queen Mother to take care of Pei Ruzhou couldn't help reminding.

"Well, I know." Pei Ruzhou finally came back to his senses, he nodded to the little eunuch and said, "You wait here for me, I'll go in and have a look at the sixth prince, and I'll be out right away."

"Yes, son." As expected of someone who came out from the queen mother's side, although he was puzzled, the little eunuch didn't ask a word.

After saying that, Pei Ruzhou slowly stepped into the palace gate covered with moss.

Before coming to the palace, Princess Shuming prepared many rare treasures from the Western Regions.Pei Ruzhou just learned from Eunuch Lin that these things were distributed to various palaces, except Qi Baili was missing.

Yu Li, Qi Baili is the future emperor, and Zhou Languan can't afford to offend him.

Yu Qing, at this time he is not a tyrant who will be remembered forever, but just a proton who just returned home.He was the only one missing the presents that were sent all over the palace, Pei Ruzhou really couldn't see it.

Logically speaking, the eunuch should have notified him at this time.

But in Huazhang Palace, Qi Baili was notoriously unfavored and easy to bully.As time went by, not only the other princes looked down on him, but even the maids and eunuchs were not on duty properly.It was hot at this point, everyone stayed in the room, and no one noticed Pei Ruzhou's arrival.

Pei Ruzhou, who returned to the palace for the first time, didn't think much, after all, he didn't know that someone should come out to inform at this time.

Pei Ruzhou really went straight to Fuxun Palace like this.

At this time, in the main hall of Fuxun Palace, Qi Bai sat expressionlessly in front of the lyre.He stretched out his hand to gently caress the surface of the piano, and suddenly wrapped the broken strings into a ball.

Qi Baili lowered his head to look at the string, and the next moment, with a "bang", the string was torn off by him.

The thin strings tightened and broke, creating a gap in his palm, and blood flowed down.

Qi Baili didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, he just raised his hand slowly, looked at the broken string in his hand with a smile of interest.

At this moment, outside the main hall of Fuxun Palace, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Qi Baili hid the strings in his sleeves and asked outside the door with a frown.

"It's me, Pei Ruzhou."

...Pei Ruzhou?

Qi Baili paused, stepped forward and slowly opened the door, at the same moment, the expression on his face suddenly changed.

He hid himself just now.

"Why did Mr. Pei suddenly come here?" The gate of Fuxun Palace opened, Qi Baili smiled at Pei Ruzhou in a little surprise, and gave up the position of the gate.

It was at this time that Pei Ruzhou finally saw clearly the tyrant who was about to rule the world.

——Qi Baili was completely different from what Pei Ruzhou imagined.

The long hair like a waterfall is scattered behind the back, and only a dark purple ribbon loosely binds the black hair that should be hanging on the forehead.Qi Baili lowered his head slightly, his long smoky eyebrows fell into his temples, and those eyes... were crow black like Pei Ruzhou had never seen before.

The eyes of ordinary people are not so much black as dark brown.

But Qi Baili was different, at least not even Pei Ruzhou, who grew up in Zhoulan Pass where all ethnic groups lived together, had never seen such dark eyes.

Qi Baili's eyelashes are thick and long, as if they can block all the light from those black eyes.

There is a little red tear mole under his eyes.

In short, this licentious future tyrant is like a gentle luthier at this moment, and he doesn't even seem to have the slightest temper.
