Chapter 6 Night Banquet in the Palace
"The prince is really meticulous." The seemingly speculative statement made Qin Si wonder how much this matter has something to do with him...
"Your Highness, you still have to be careful in the future." King Chaishire reminded him softly, retreated to Qin Si's side, arched his hand to her, and said loudly, "Your Highness plays the piano at will, and Ziyu chases it with a flute, okay?"
Qin Si's piano skills are not bad, but he is also afraid of a chance. At the first palace banquet, there can be no mistakes. And King Cheshire's proposal took care of Qin Si's face. Even if he made a mistake, no one could care about it.
Qin Si naturally smiled and agreed: "Okay."
His fingers touched the fine strings, Qin Si raised his hand, and the soft music came out quietly, gently and deeply. The sound of the piano rises, and the sound of the flute is also sobbing and sighing, slowly flowing with the sound of the piano.
Qin Si's index fingertip suddenly paused, and then drew an arc of waves on the strings. The sound of the piano rippled in this arc, achieving high mountains and flowing water. The left hand also jumped on the string, and the scale changed, but the sound of the flute behind him did not go down with Qin Si's tune, but raised it in the opposite direction. When the sound of the piano came out of the valley, the two merged and the two were extremely coordinated.
The sound of the flute is later, but it inadvertently attracts the sound of the piano to move with it.
A song of flute and sound flowed in the night. Man Chao Wenwu couldn't help listening, but Yu Jin unconsciously squeezed his hand and was full of worries.
"The prince's flute is really pleasant." Qin Si's hands played faster and faster, and the sound of the light piano suddenly became sad, as if crying. Suddenly, it became happy, like the joy of flying geese.
King Cheshire smiled, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and the breath under his lips was closer to the sound of the piano.
Qin Si's wrist paused, the sound of the piano stopped, and the flute kept whispering. The King of Cheshire's footsteps turned and walked in front of Qin Si. His eyes were a little hot, and with the soft trembling of his lips, he quietly attacked Qin Si.
When the sound of the flute fell, Qin Si got up from the piano stool. When he was wrong, King Cheshire whispered, "My princess, are you satisfied with this flute?"
Qin Si was wrapped in the ambiguity and had to pass straight from the side of King Cheshire without saying a word.
"Her Royal Highness has a great piano, and there are few enemies in the world."
The courtiers on both sides praised it, but Qin Si only felt panicked about what the Cheshire king wanted to do.
"Yes."
The sound of echoing came one after another, and Qin Si smiled and said, "The sound of Chaijun's flute is also as touching as fairy music."
"Oh? Is it touching? King Cheshire said in a tone: "Can you touch the princess halfway?"
Qin Si's eyes were sharp. For her, some bottom lines were untouchable: "King Cheshire laughed. I can't stand it." With that, Qin Si stepped forward.
"I can't see that the princess's piano skills are so good." Princess Qin greeted him with a smile and boasted, "Speaking of which, we are also in the glory of the princess. King Cheshire never blows the flute to outsiders." With that, Princess Qin looked at the two with deep meaning.
As soon as Princess Qin's words fell, a soft girl sounded: "Xiao Ai remembers that the princess's piano is also very beautiful."
This was just a casual word, but relieved Qin Si. Qin Si heard the sound and saw a little girl sitting beside General Quan. The girl was still wearing a double bun on her head, which seemed that she had not yet done yet.
She wears a blue brocade embroidered skirt with clear facial features, which makes people feel sorry for her.
"Little love, don't be rude." General Quan shouted softly, and then got up and arched his hand to Qin Si: "The little girl has offended the princess."
"General Quan is very polite." Qin Sixu entrusted General Quan, then walked to Xiaoai and smiled at her: "Your name is Xiaoai?"
"Your Highness, yes."
Xiaoai stood up respectfully and made Qin Si laugh: "Well, you don't have to salute me so much in the future. You often come to the palace to play when you have nothing to do."
"Little Love obeys." The crisp voice made Qin Si smile endlessly.
It was not until he sat down on Yu's side that Qin Si slowly let go of his breath. A popular princess Qin and an unfathomable Cheshire King are not good people to be with.
There is still joy in the hall, but Qin Si is calculating in his heart.
"Cough..." Yu Jin, who was beside her, suddenly coughed gently. Her face was extremely pale. As soon as Qin Si moved, her wrist was pressed under the dragon case.
Gu Yin presented the teacup, and Yu Yu took a sip, but the edge of the cup was stained with a little dark blush. Qin Si's heart was shocked. The blood color was strange, and his mother was obviously poisoned... Suddenly, Qin thought that Yu, who was in Fengli Hall, also suddenly became so uncomfortable. Could it be that this poison has been in his mother's body for some time?
Yu Jin slowly wiped the corners of his lips and put down the teacup. When Qin Si immediately reached out and took the teacup, added tea to it, and melted the inconspicuous black and red on the edge of the cup.
"Mother, please use some more tea." Yu Yu drank the tea according to his words, but ignored the worries in Qin Si's eyes.
After about half an hour, Yu Wei left first with Qin Si, leaving the court full of literature and martial arts.
......
All the maidservants in Fengli Hall dispersed, leaving Qin Si alone. In front of the empty hall, Yu Yu coughed violently. The voice was low but sad, which made Qin Si suffocate.
"Mother..."
Yu Wei covered his chest and waved his hand to Qin Si. His big red sleeves gently wiped his lips and whispered, "I'm fine." Just finished speaking, Yu Yu's chest hurts again. Qin Si helped Yu Jin into the dragon's couch and said worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"It's all old problems. Just take a break." Yu Wei said and patted the back of Qin Si's hand. Qin Si only felt that the fingertips were cold and piercing. Qin Si gently put Yu Wei's hand into the brocade quilt and slowly got up.
"Moon night, moon night..."
Knowing that the dark guard was in the Fengli Hall, Qin Si shouted at the empty hall, and the candlestick beside him flashed. One side of his clothes fell silently, and the figure of the moonlight stood beside the dragon couch.
"I have seen the emperor and the Lord."
"Moon night, go and find my father quickly." Qin Si ordered.
"Yes."
Looking at the moonlight figure away, Yu's eyes flashed and he said powerlessly, "What did you want him to do?"
"Father's medical skills are extraordinary, you can come and have a look for your mother, otherwise how can your daughter be relieved?"
Yu Yu closed his eyes slightly and restrained his uneasiness. She knows her body better than anyone else and is hopeless. Whether it's A Li or Li Yuan, it's just sad to know. Yu Wei looked at Qin Si, who carefully paved the corner of the quilt for her, and sighed in his heart.
"Ali, what do you think of Cheshire King?" Yu Yu remembered the scene of the piano flute and sound at today's dinner and couldn't help asking.
Qin Si thought for a moment: "King Cheshire is a difficult person to deal with."
"I once said that he was greedy and resentful. What do you think?"
"King Cheshire is not angry and angry. Greed, infatuated, resentment, is it infatuousness? Qin Si lowered his eyes and guessed.
Yu Yu smiled and said, "Ziyu is indeed a fool, not a stupid obsession, but that he is persistent in temperament and spares no effort in what he wants to get."
"For example, the throne?"
"Not bad. Ziyu is indeed ready to take the throne, so he can do whatever he can. Yu Jin didn't want to hurt King Cheshire, but he pressed her step by step and made her have no choice.
Qin Si doesn't understand that all those who seek a position will restrain their sharpness and secretly plan. I'm afraid that this thought will be exposed and cause trouble. But King Cheshire is different. His thoughts are well known, but why is his mother...
"As long as I am on this throne for one day, I can't kill the Zhongshan king's family." Yu Yu seemed to be thoughtful, and a distant mist set off in his eyes.
"Why is this? Mother is the emperor, protect the country, and kill rape sycophants, which is a matter of course.
"Well, if you want to say the reason, you have to mention another one."
"Is there another one?" Qin Si asked.
Yu Yu sighed and said helplessly, "This child still has a grudge."
"Who do you blame?"
"Fance against the sky, and also against people!" Qin Si sat down by the dragon couch and listened to Yu Yu say, "He is full of ambition, but he is just a prince. This is a grudge against heaven. And Ziyu blamed me in his heart, blamed me for occupying the country, and even more blamed me for causing him to lose his mother since he was a child and was bullied by all his concubines.
"What does this have to do with my mother?"
"It's a long story. At that time, Yulu, the daughter of Prime Minister Di, was my companion. Before she married the King of Zhongshan, she was inseparable from me. Yu Yu said, coughing gently in his throat. Qin Si patted her back and listened to her slowly, "I remember that year's lantern party, I was about to leave the southern country to make peace, so I accompanied me out of the palace to see the lanterns with the newly produced jade dew. That day, the street was very lively, and there were people wearing masks everywhere, and lanterns lit up the whole Huayang City.
"It was originally a happy day, but it turned into a nightmare because of an accident."
"I was young and capricious, wandering around the crowd and gradually separated from the bodyguards. I saw a drinking order in front of the door of a restaurant, so I went forward to join in the fun. If the drinking order is lost, I will drink. If I win, I can get all kinds of lanterns. I played for a while, but who knew that there was an accident. At that time, I don't know who knocked over a lantern, and the fire quickly burned..."
Yu Yu said, and couldn't help choking slightly.
"What happened later?"
"Later, the high platform in front of the restaurant collapsed. I didn't know what to do at that time, and the accompanying guards could not be found. The moment I took off my mask, a burning beam fell down... and Yulu, pounced on me, just... died..."
Seeing Yu's shoulder blade, Qin Si frowned and comforted in a low voice, "Mom, don't think about it. It's all over."
The king of Cheshire was ambitious, but Yu Yu couldn't bear to kill him, and even put up with it again and again, because of Di Yulu's life...
"Before Yulu died, she entrusted Ziyu to me to keep him safe for the rest of his life. I should get off. So I can't hurt him in my life.
Yu Yu said, and tears couldn't help dripping down.
