After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

In the end, Qi Zizhen suppressed the irritability after drinking, returned to his usual obedient appearance, used up the cakes in an orderly manner, took a bath and changed clothes, and then asked Cui Liang to take Lingning to the yard for a while.

At dinner time that day, Song Yaoxu personally apologized to Qi Zizhen for his gaffe at noon, but he still said that the ten-day ban would not be withdrawn.

Qi Zizhen, who had returned to his former state, was still indifferent to Song Yaoxu's apology and punishment, and only responded politely, "I will follow His Highness's instructions."

However, being grounded in the room also meant that he could no longer go to Song Yaoxu's bedroom in Weishi. For this reason, Song Yaoxu returned the Shiqin to Qi Zizhen the next day, and no longer restricted Qi Zizhen's playing time.

But Qi Zizhen did not play all day long like before, and only continued to compose the unfinished music when it was not time.

The sunny days during the confinement period were changed to Cui Liang and Ling Ning to bask in the sun. Except for an extra task of composing music, Qi Zizhen lived almost the same as his previous few days when he was autistic. The time was spent reading several ancient music books sent by Song Yaoxu.

Just two days passed, and there was still a full month before Emperor Hongchu's birthday banquet, and Qi Zizhen's task of composing music was basically half completed.

Around midnight, he was still flipping through one of the ancient books, and Lingning nestled in his arms obediently, as if she was accompanying him.

At this moment, Lingning, who was originally quiet, suddenly called out for some reason, jumped out of Qi Zizhen's arms, and ran straight to the door.

"Lingning!" Qi Zizhen yelled, but Lingning went out in a hurry.He frowned lightly, and quickly put down the book and chased him out.

However, the kitten, who usually looks lazy, ran really fast this time. Seeing that the door was closed, it turned around and ran back to the inner room, and jumped out from the half-opened window sash.

Qi Zizhen was afraid that something would happen to Lingning, so he ignored his own restraining order, and quickly went out from the door to the side where the window sash of the inner room was connected, and happened to see Lingning climbing up a dick.

In desperation, Qi Zizhen forgot to think about why there was a scorpion here, and followed the scorpion to find Lingning, but as soon as he went up, he saw that Lingning was nestled in the arms of one person, and was rubbed on the head by another person .

——It is the national teacher who has returned, and the national teacher is talking with the prince on his roof.

Qi Zizhen was still standing on the bed, but for a moment he didn't know how to react.

It was Song Yaoxu who noticed him first, and asked with a smile, "Is Zizhen looking for Lingning again? Come here first, it's dangerous to stand on it."

The bright moonlight scattered on Song Yaoxu who was dressed in white, softly covered with a layer of silver gauze.

Qi Zizhen walked forward according to his words, and said politely, "I have seen His Royal Highness and Master Guoshi."

"There's no need to be too polite, come and sit down." Ning Qingwei nodded in greeting, stroking Lingning in his arms with one hand, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Ling Ning let out a meow in comfort, lying in Ning Qingwei's arms and letting herself go, it seemed that she hadn't seen Ning Qingwei for a long time and missed her so much.

Qi Zizhen didn't intend to disturb the reunion of the owner and the pet, and said respectfully: "The national teacher has returned, so don't disturb the grassroots, and leave first."

As he spoke, he saluted and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Yaoxu, "Wait a minute, it just so happened that I was talking with the national teacher that Lao Zizhen was taking care of Lingning for a while. The national teacher speculated that there might be a comet tonight, and was about to invite you to the national teacher As a reward for visiting the pagoda, I wonder if Zizhen would be interested?"

Qi Zizhen glanced at Song Yaoxu's gentle smile, lowered his eyes and said: "The grass people are still under confinement, so it's not right to leave the house this time. Thank you, Master Guoshi, for your kindness."

"Foot grounding?" The national teacher was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and looked at Song Yaoxu.

Song Yaoxu smiled apologetically: "It was something that happened two days ago, and it has been resolved. The foot restraint is to let Zizhen avoid the limelight a little bit."

Then he looked at Qi Zizhen again, and said, "No one else will know about tonight's affairs except the national teacher and you and me. Don't worry, Zizhen, you should go to the national teacher's tower to relax."

Song Yaoxu smiled kindly, and he seemed to regard the National Teacher Pagoda as a place where people can feel at ease like home, and Ning Qingwei seemed to have no objection to this.

Compared with the national teacher and the prince or friends and friends, the atmosphere between them looks more like a family, it is the relationship between the elders and the younger in the family.

Qi Zizhen was not interested in the relationship between the crown prince and the national teacher. After hearing that the crown prince had clearly opened the back door for him, he no longer refused, and replied: "I would like to follow His Highness's instructions."

After getting his answer, Song Yaoxu and Ning Qingwei didn't continue chatting on the roof, and seized the time to sneak out of the palace together.

For convenience, Song Yaoxu went back to his room and changed into the same plain black clothes as Qi Zizhen and Ning Qingwei.

Ning Qingwei knew the distribution of the guards in the palace like the back of his hand, and led the two people behind him around, walking smoothly all the way to the secret passage in the hidden part of the palace wall, and walked out of the palace along the secret passage.

There was no curfew in Ling Chaozhong, and the capital was still lively in Haishi. In order to avoid meeting some children from aristocratic families who were having a good time at night, Ning Qingwei took them to some remote and dark alleys.

And in order not to attract attention, they did not carry lanterns, and they could barely see the darkness of the road along the way.

Qi Zizhen was not used to walking at night like this, and almost fell over a stone on the way, but was supported by Song Yaoxu on the side in time.

"Be careful." Song Yaoxu helped him stand upright, took Qi Zizhen's left hand and smiled softly, "There are a lot of gravel on this road, you are not used to walking at night, shall I hold you first? Mo I'm going to fall."

Qi Zizhen paused, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Song Yaoxu held it tighter.

The left hand was gently held by the unfamiliar warmth, wrapped in a layer of warm treasure in the cool spring night.

Song Yaoxu didn't say any more, and led Qi Zizhen to continue walking forward very naturally. Ning Qingwei didn't seem to think there was anything out of courtesy, so he made sure that they followed and continued to lead the way.

Because of holding hands, Qi Zizhen was forced to stand closer to Song Yaoxu, and the surrounding smell seemed to be occupied by the scent of orchids on Song Yaoxu's body.

A faint wisp, but one cannot ignore it, lingering faintly around his side, clean and elegant.

There was a throbbing in Qi Zizhen's heart for a moment, but he soon suppressed it again.

【"Sincerely? You deserve it too?"】

A sentence that he had heard in this life and the previous life echoed in Qi Zizhen's ears, as if reminding him to recognize the reality.

Most of Song Yaoxu's kindness to him is because of his gentle temperament.He always trusts anyone without reservation, and his ears are softer than his father.

At this time Song Yaoxu would trust him to treat him well, and after he was framed by Song Jiqi at that time, Song Yaoxu would also listen to Song Jiqi's words and beat him to the point of no return.

Betrayed mercilessly, suspected and misunderstood by everyone, he has already experienced this twice, and there will definitely be a third time in this life.

The only thing he can do is to accept his fate and stop flooding his little sincerity.
