In the morning of the next day, not long after having breakfast in the post house, the car from the Princess Mansion arrived at the gate of the post house.

It rained in the middle of the night last night, washing away the cobblestone roads in the city, and the raindrops condensed into beads on the edge of the eaves, falling one by one.

Jinzhou is located in the lowlands, and there is still a layer of mist in the morning. The shops on the street are open for business, and there are many pedestrians on the street, which gradually becomes lively.

Li Mingqing raised the curtain of the carriage, only to feel that the road in front of him was somewhat familiar. The carriage walked along the river, and there was a bridge after a while.

Most of the bridges on this river are similar, and most of the roadside landscapes are also similar.

Forget it, when she first came here, she might be suspicious.

Just as the hand covering the curtain was about to be put down, he suddenly saw the words "Zhiyue Tower". Looking again, Zhiyue Bridge was in front.

Shen Meng noticed her surprised look, and asked the coachman of the princess mansion: "Steward, where is the princess mansion? How long is it?"

The coachman replied: "Pass the Zhiyue Bridge ahead, and go east for one mile to the Princess' Mansion."

"Thank you steward."

After getting out of the carriage, he met King Ning's carriage head-on. After a little salute, King Ning's men moved a huge gilded nanmu box on the carriage into the Princess Mansion.

Li Mingqing asked suspiciously: "Steward, is there any happy event in the princess mansion today?"

"Oh! I don't know how many! His Highness King Ning and the princess have always been close. Every time His Highness comes to the door, he will prepare many novelty gadgets, and let the princess choose and play with them."

Shen Meng said "Oh", and saw a beautiful woman walking out.

Yesterday, Ciyu was wearing a blue long gown, but today she combed her hair up for some reason, and she looked particularly neat, even her long skirt was replaced by red narrow-sleeved underwear.

"Brother Emperor."

King Ning nodded lightly, and went straight into the mansion.

Ciyu smiled slightly, and walked towards them: "Princess Changning, Marquis Anyuan, please come inside."

At this moment, the prince's car also arrived at the door. From a distance, the car was the most inconspicuous among the surroundings.

The most exaggerated one next to it must be King Ping's car.

The person who got out of the car was a little thin, looking gentle and modest.

Although low-key, she was dressed in a crimson robe as smooth as water. The cuffs of the skirt were all embroidered with silkworm silver snow silk palindrome, and the waist was a coiled dragon belt made of nephrite silk hollowed out, decorated with a jade plaque made of weeping blood stone.

This person is Prince Jinzhu.

"Brother Prince, this is a distinguished guest from the Southern Dynasty, Princess Changning, the only daughter of King Langya."

They also saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"I have admired the name of King Langya for a long time, and now I am lucky to see the princess."

Li Mingqing smiled just right: "This is Marquis Anyuan, Shen Meng, who was conferred by the Southern Emperor. This is my father's disciple, Song Qingshan."

Jin Zhu nodded slightly, but looked at Ci Yu instead: "The clothes you are wearing today are not for hospitality."

"That's because Marquis Shen promised Ci Yu to have a competition with Ci Yu, isn't it, Marquis Shen?"

Shen Meng was startled, and nodded slightly.

"The banquet is prepared in the flower hall, please enjoy yourself."

The flower hall is full of people.

Among the tens of thousands of flowers, among the stars and the moon, the one who is more beautiful than the flowers is actually His Highness Prince Ping.

"Princess, you guys are here, but let me wait."

The flower hall is facing a huge water platform, which is made into a huge drum surface.

Everyone's eyes fell on the drum and did not move away for a long time.

"That! You guys probably haven't seen such a big drum before! My sister, my king, likes to dance with knives and guns, so I specially ordered people to make this huge drum to practice martial arts. When people step on it, it's like a drumstick. On the drum surface, when it comes to competition, you don’t even need to beat the battle drum, isn’t it very ingenious?”

King Ping's words sounded as if the princess mansion was his mansion.

Everyone nodded: "It's really ingenious."

As soon as Fang sat down, King Ping said again, "I heard that the ninth younger sister is going to compete with Lord Shen Hou today?"

His Royal Highness Ning Wang said: "The princess and Marquis Anyuan came from a long distance, and the boats and cars are exhausting. Why don't you let me compete on your behalf, the same is true."

Li Mingqing turned around in surprise, the silent King Ning actually spoke?

Li Mingqing also said to Shen Meng: "Today's competition, if you win, you will lose the face of the princess; if you lose, you will lose face to me."

Shen Meng smiled wryly.

"Are you planning to lose or are you planning to win?"

"Then I have to think about it."

With a smile on the corner of Li Mingqing's mouth, he picked up a cup of beauty noodles on the table, and said softly to him: "Don't lose."

With a slightly charming expression, Shen Meng's heart twitched slightly.

Ciyu walked over here and said: "I heard that the master of Changning County is a teacher of Mr. Jiaolu, and his piano skills are excellent. When I compete with Marquis Anyuan later, I would like to ask the princess to help me."

Before Li Mingqing agreed, Ci Yu said to the subordinates beside him: "Come here, go and get my Qin."

she was--

I'm afraid I've always been so decisive!

"Today's competition is rare. Although Jiumeimei's piano is not of ordinary quality, it is not enough. If you can't show the superb piano skills of the princess, you can't help the two of you. It's a pity."

"What do you mean by Brother Seventh Emperor?" Ci Yu's face was slightly cold.

King Ping raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face: "This king knows that there is a place with a good piano."

"You—" Ci Yu calmed down, lowered his eyes and said, "Brother Seventh Emperor, take the Princess to get it."

Li Mingqing was still puzzled, but had no choice but to follow King Ping out of the flower hall, through the gallery, and came to a separate garden.

Without the clusters of flowers in front, there are only a few green plums in the other garden, which look extremely shriveled and lifeless in the autumn scenery.King Ping gently pushed open the door, and a burst of sand and dust rushed towards his face.

It's been a long time since anyone has cleaned it.

The room is empty, except for a pair of bottle mirrors, and a qin hanging on the wall, the whole body is pitch black, with faint green, like green vines winding around an ancient tomb.

"Is this Luqi?"

"The princess's eyes."

"Tong Zi He Jing, I don't want to be lucky enough to caress Lu Qi in this life."

"What's wrong with a famous piano and a beautiful woman?"

These words sound slightly familiar.

On the boat that day, this person said——Famous flowers match beautiful women——

So I encountered a night of danger.

at the moment--

There shouldn't be any difference--

After taking down the guqin, Li Mingqingfang noticed a portrait in the corner, blocked by soft smoke.

In the painting is a woman whose facial features are four to five points similar to Ciyu's, but more heroic and proud. She is wearing a red armor and draws a long bow, aiming at the bright moon in the sky.

Xizi's worshiping the moon is called the most beautiful in the world. This beauty in red shoots the moon, which is really dazzling.

Noticing Li Mingqing's gaze, Ping Wang said: "The person in the painting is the princess's biological mother, Mrs. Xuanji. This Qin is also Mrs. Xuanji's old possession."

The tone of his speech suddenly changed from his usual laziness to a bit dignified.

Facing the portrait, Li Mingqing piously said: "Mingqing borrowed my wife Lu Qi for use."

King Ping looked sideways: "Mingqing? It turns out that the princess' boudoir name is Mingqing."

"I moved my wife's belongings, so I should respect and pray, but Your Highness shouldn't call me by my boudoir name."

Seeing her solemn expression, King Ping said solemnly: "I'm sorry."

On each side of the water platform, Ci Yu held a long crimson whip in her hand, the whip was wrapped around her hand four times, and Chi Xiao in Shen Meng's hand was still in the scabbard.

"Marquis An Yuan, the sword doesn't come out of its sheath?"

"No need to unsheath."

"Then I'm welcome."

When the fingertips touched the strings, the sound of the piano sounded, and Jin Zhu looked sideways slightly.

"This "Autumn Sound Fu" is novel and unique, and it also fits the occasion."

At the beginning, the patter was Xiaosha, and suddenly it was galloping and surging.

With a flick of the whip.

"Boom-"

Like a thunderbolt exploded on the drum surface, the vibration of the drum surface was transmitted to the water, which had the potential to kill the Quartet.

Like the waves frightened at night, the wind and rain come suddenly.

Shen Meng tapped the tip of his toe, the sound was barely audible, his figure was so light, even though the hilt of the sword came out of the scabbard upside down, and pointed straight at Ciyu's face.

"Ding--"

After being separated by the crimson whip, Chi Xiao was safely in the scabbard again.

Gold and iron are singing, and iron horses are glaciers.

The strength in Li Mingqing's hands increased, and a harmonic sound seemed to stop abruptly, but it actually started a new round of fighting.

The sound of the toes stepping on the drum, the loud noise of the whip waving in the air and falling on the drum, and the sound of clothes moving with the wind.

It's like a soldier going to the enemy, running quickly with his guns in his head, not hearing orders, but hearing the sound of people and horses.

The two fought back and forth on the drum, one was fierce and the other was smooth.

The smoke and clouds gather, the sky is high and the sun is clear, the mountains and rivers are lonely, there is no sound, the sound is among the trees——

"Snapped--"

Because of the strength of Shen Meng's counterattack, the long whip in Ci Yu's hand suddenly dropped and flew towards the crown prince Jin Zhu on the table.

Oops!

Li Mingqing paused.

Suddenly, he saw King Ning dodge, jumping in front of the prince and catching the long whip that was almost deadly.

For a while, there was chaos in the flower hall.

"Brother Dahuang—Brother Prince—" Ci Yuhua's face changed.

Li Mingqing looked at Shen Meng.

What's up with him?

How could this be?

Song Qingshan went forward and took a brief look at King Ning's injury: "His Highness King Ning's injury will heal after a few days of rest, princess, don't be impatient."

Forget it, Fang went to Shen Meng: "I should prescribe a prescription for Brother Shen, so as to suppress the shock."

"Is Marquis An Yuan okay?" Ci Yu came over and said apologetically, "I'm not good at skills, and I almost caused trouble. Please also ask the princess and Lord Haihan."

After Shen Meng sat down, he didn't say a word.

"Are you OK?"

He shook his head and saw Li Mingqing looking sideways.

The voice was a little gentle and comforted: "I'm fine."

"Papapa——" King Ping smiled meaningfully, stroked his palms and said, "Today's competition was really enjoyable. If Jiumeimei's whip just hit the prince's brother, I'm afraid—"

"Brother Seventh Emperor, what do you mean by that?"

"Whatever Jiumei thinks it means, that's what it means."

"It was my mistake that caused the princess to drop the long whip." Shen Meng stood up.

"There are honored guests here today, you two are really rude." Prince Jinzhu stood up from King Ning, and greeted everyone with a smile, "Marquis Anyuan, King Ning is not seriously injured, please sit down and drink .”
