After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

In the next few days, Qi Zizhen still didn't like to go out of the room, and would only take Lingning to the yard to bask in the sun in the morning when the sun was just right, and then went to Song Yaoxu's room to compose music at the end of the day.

He has excellent comprehension ability in music. Sometimes he will restore and play the music in ancient books on the stone qin. Sometimes he only needs to look at the music score and ponder over it. He can grasp the law and feeling between each tone combination in a maximum of two moments. Compose a completely different new melody.

Then he will repeat it over and over again like the first day, removing the emotions that he originally incorporated into the tune little by little, making the whole tune more and more light.

People who have never studied music may still be immersed in the brilliance of the surface of the music, but as long as they understand a little bit, they can hear that the music is actually empty and has little meaning.

During the process of Qi Zizhen composing the music, Song Yaoxu only continued his ink bamboo painting on the sidelines, without any interference or persuasion to him.

Instead, Lingning would sometimes jump into Qi Zizhen's arms and interfere with his progress.At this time, Qi Zizhen would also rest for a while, and then put Lingning back on the ground to continue his work.

Emperor Hongchu's birthday banquet was on March 21st, and Qi Zizhen still had more than a month to prepare, so his progress was a bit slow, and he would occasionally allow himself to immerse himself in ancient music scores.

For him, Weishi's short hour has become the most relaxing moment of his day.

On the fourth day of composing the music, he was sitting in front of the desk, holding Lingning who was combing his hair in one hand, and flipping through the contents of the ancient book casually with the other hand.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and after Song Yaoxu stopped writing in response, Cui Liang walked in, clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the prince is here to visit."

"Uncle Emperor?" Song Yaoxu looked slightly surprised, but then smiled again, "Okay, I understand, let Uncle Emperor go to the front hall first, I will go there right away."

Cui Liang took the order to resign and left Song Yaoxu's bedroom to follow the order.

After watching his subordinates leave, Song Yaoxu put down the pen and ink in his hands and packed them up. He looked up in Qi Zizhen's direction and said sorry, "Uncle Huang is visiting, can we end early today? I will make up for you in the rest of the time."

Qi Zizhen had no objection, he got up to leave with Lingning in his arms, and walked back to his room unhurriedly.

It's not too late now, and it's still early compared to the past, Lingning looked like she wasn't ready to enjoy herself, she pulled Qi Zizhen's clothes on his chest and yelled softly.

Qi Zizhen raised his hand and gently stroked Lingning's white hair, with a calm expression, he walked back into the room without stopping.

Basically, every time after returning to the room after Weishi, Qi Zizhen has no other special activities, and often sits beside the bed in a trance like he did during the seven days of autism.

Also since those seven days, Song Yaoxu never took the initiative to come to his room again. Except for basking with Lingning in the morning and going to Song Yaoxu's room to practice piano at the end of the day, his condition during the rest of the time was similar to that of those seven days. Ning interfered.

It's just that before he was lost in thought for a long time today, someone knocked on the door again.

"Young Master Qi, watch the prince of the palace come to visit."

Qi Zizhen's emptied mind briefly recharged, and it took a while to realize that Guan Wang's son is Guan Wang's son, and it is not surprising that he will come with Guan Wang.

As an ordinary person temporarily living in the Eastern Palace without status, Qi Zizhen had no reason to refuse Song Jiqi's visit, and got up to open the door. Ling Ning, who was nestled at his feet, followed him.

"Squeak."

After opening the door, he first saw Cui Liang standing at the door. After greeting him politely, he took a step sideways to make room for Song Jiqi.

Qi Zizhen looked up at Song Jiqi not far away.

Perhaps because of his good life since he was a child, Song Jiqi is slightly fatter than his peer Song Jiqi, and always wears a luxurious purple dress, with a standard cannon fodder appearance. He can't say he has delicate features, but he can still be seen.

Qi Zizhen didn't have the heart to look at this person who had been with him for two years, and when he was about to salute politely, Ling Ning who was standing beside him suddenly let out a long cry, arched his back and frowned, and bared his teeth with a fierce look.

This was the first time Qi Zizhen saw Lingning being so fierce, he softly said "Sorry" to Song Jiqi, then knelt down and hugged Lingning, gently comforting him.

Seeing this, Cui Liang quickly explained: "This is the cat of the National Teacher Pagoda. Recently, the National Teacher went out and did not return. Mr. Qi fell in love with Ling Ning, so the National Teacher asked Mr. Qi to take care of him. Ling Ning is naturally afraid of others. If you offend me, I hope the prince will forgive you."

Song Jiqi's complexion was a bit grim, but he managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm not so stingy as to be angry with this little beast." Hearing this, Qi Zizhen hugged the cat and lowered his eyelashes, and remained silent.

During the two years of getting along in the previous life, Qi Zizhen knew that Song Jiqi had never liked cats and dogs, and he himself hated cats and dogs. Whenever a kitten or puppy offended him, he would privately catch it and dispose of it. .

Song Jiqi asked Qi Zizhen to deal with it several times, and every time Qi Zizhen would secretly let the kittens and puppies go.

He lowered his head to comfort Lingning, and only let Song Jiqi in after Lingning calmed down.

Qi Zizhen didn't like to drink tea, and there was no tea in the room for the guests, so Cui Liang specially called the maid to bring a pot of new tea, poured a cup for each of them, and then left.

There were only two people left in the small room.

In this life, Qi Zizhen and Song Jiqi didn't have much contact with each other, they stroked the cat silently, not intending to speak first.

Song Jiqi was left alone, and after a while, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Qi, I came here to apologize for the banquet a few days ago. I didn't know that you were unwell and wanted you to attend. I'm really sorry."

"This is my small apology."

With that said, he took out another small wooden box, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qi Zizhen.

The pattern of the small wooden box looks like flowers and leaves, small and exquisite, just this wooden box can tell that it is not extraordinary.

Qi Zizhen just raised his eyes and said indifferently: "I was rude first, so there is no need for an apology."

Song Jiqi continued: "Young Master Qi doesn't have to be like this, if I hadn't invited you to the banquet, you wouldn't have left the banquet halfway, and was blamed by His Royal Highness for being rude and banned for seven days."

As he said that, he also put on a very guilty look.

Qi Zizhen froze in stroking the cat.

He really didn't know when he was grounded by Song Yaoxu.

But after thinking about it later, Song Yaoxu probably explained his refusal to leave the room for seven days for the sake of convenience.If this matter is taken seriously, it is not impossible to be labeled as disobedient to the prince.

Seeing that Qi Zizhen didn't speak, Song Jiqi continued tentatively: "Speaking of which, I see that there is no servant in the front room of Mr. Qi's room. Does Mr. Qi...have a bad relationship with His Highness?"

Qi Zizhen's movements were slightly sluggish, he pursed his lips and said nothing, and after a while he responded coldly: "Don't dare."

However, Song Jiqi interpreted his previous silence as tacit consent, and comforted him as if he was very understanding: "Don't worry, I won't say anything about this matter. I just regret that Mr. Qi has such a talent, but instead he has to live in the East Palace Among them. As long as you are given a broader platform, you will definitely be able to make a big splash."

After he finished speaking, he pretended to sigh.

To be able to describe the honor of temporarily staying in the East Palace as "reserved", this Prince Guan is still as proud and arrogant as he was in his previous life.

Qi Zizhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, remaining silent.

It didn't take long, and sure enough, he heard Song Jiqi continue to probe: "Actually, I came here this time, in addition to apologizing, I also wanted to get to know Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi is a superb qin player, but few people know about it. It just so happens that I know many The children of high officials may help Mr. Qi accumulate more reputation."

At the same time, Song Jiqi pushed the small wooden box in Qi Zizhen's direction again, looking at Qi Zizhen as if looking forward to it.

Qi Zizhen looked at the wooden box, his eyes moved slightly.

——If he made friends with Song Jiqi, he could be killed like in his previous life, right?
