The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 13

[Chapter 13]

Zhu Yi sat in the carriage returning to the palace, and after a while, Xie Ying also bent down and came in. The carriage was temporarily found outside the temple, and it was not too big. The pressure caused by Xie Ying’s height suddenly made the space seem cramped.

Zhu Yi moved her hips, trying to give the other side more space. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved her upper body, Xie Ying held her shoulders, and his body immediately leaned towards her.

In the past, Zhu Yi always struggled hard, but she earned it without realizing it at the moment.

But Zhu Yi looked up and saw Xie Ying’s eyes, and felt the unhappiness in Xie Ying’s heart. She always felt that when she encountered this today, it seemed that Xie Ying was more concerned than herself. The act of breaking free was a snap.

Seeing that Zhu Yi softened, Xie Ying slowly hugged her into his arms. Zhu Yi raised his hand and pressed it on his chest. After a little resistance was useless, he discarded his armor and let him hug her tightly.

Zhu Yi felt that Xie Ying’s strength was stronger than usual today, and it hurt her. She pursed her lips and said nothing. Her body trembled quickly, and Xie Ying’s hands moved and kneaded around her vest and shoulders, as if trying to embed her into her body.

“Pain…” Zhu Yi finally couldn’t help reminding him.

Xie Ying’s arms and the flesh on his body were too hard, and Zhu Yi felt that he should be disgusted, but he had no strength to rub her body, especially her legs were unusually soft, as if they were stronger than before. Intoxicated and weak.

Xie Ying heard her cry of pain and let her go. Zhu Yi hurriedly lowered her head, shamefully feeling a trace of joy and yearning for Xie Ying in her body that she had never felt before. She found that she didn’t really want Xie Ying to let go, but wanted to be held by him all the time. This realization made her push him away.

Xie Ying thought that Zhu Yi was frightened because of her. Soon, he was angry with her for being rude and blamed himself.

After a moment of silence, Xie Ying said, “Why was the princess so surprised at me taking you away before. Could it be that in the princess’ heart, I was close to the princess just to take advantage?”

Zhu Yi raised his head: “I didn’t think so.”

“It’s fine.” Xie Ying looked at her and said, “Zhu Yi, I won’t get close to a girl at will.” Especially the girl he shouldn’t mess with at all.

Zhu Yi was still thinking about what he meant, Xie Ying had lowered her head, her lips were about to touch her forehead and said, “Since I treat you like this, I will be responsible for you.”

Zhu Yi’s face was flushed, and she quickly turned her face away to avoid him. Zhu Yi was already keen, and after today’s comparison with Wan Hai, it would be difficult for her to deceive herself.

Wan Hai’s disgusting and frightened feeling when he approached her was like a worm that devoured people’s bones and blood into his clothes. But when Xie Ying approached her, she was more shy.

There will also be fear, but it is completely different from the fear of Wan Hai. To Xie Ying, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep her heart under his pressure, and that he would withdraw and leave just like last time. Only then did she realize that she still liked Xie Ying so much…

But how is he responsible? It was only today that she learned that the queen hated her so much. If Xie Ying wanted to marry her, the queen would strongly oppose it. Jue thought uneasily.

Xie Ying hugged Zhu Yi to herself with one hand, Zhu Yi’s face was placed on Xie Ying’s chest, and he closed his eyes in his breath.

——

The queen is forty-six years old, and she looks thirty years old. She has a well-maintained face and sixteen peony skirts with lilac-colored smoke and satin on her waist. It is really hard to see that she has one year’s son. The Xie family was born well, and the queen was naturally beautiful. Concubine Tong’s beauty was charming, and the queen’s beauty was cold and arrogant.

Xie Ying knew very well that his aunt was his grandmother’s eyeball when she was a girl in the Xie family. Xie Jiayuan never thought that she still has the life of being the queen, and the emperor asked for his own marriage when he was the prince.

The queen gave birth to the eldest son in the first year of marrying the emperor. This son was very good, and he knew from an early age that he would protect his mother in turn. Because of the Xie family and the prince’s many reasons, the emperor was also arrogant and tolerant towards the queen. Therefore, although the queen has been in the deep palace for decades, her temperament has not changed much from when she was a girl.

The queen looked at Xie Ying and told him to sit down. When the maid served tea and retreated, she supported the emerald hollowed-out double-money fish pattern hairpin on her head, and said in the first sentence, “A Ying, you know, my aunt attaches the most importance to it. It’s you and the prince, and even Adai will be behind you.”

Xie Ying was silent.

The queen said: “I called you here today because I want to tell you about your marriage. I have always hoped that you could marry Adai, but it is indeed a bit embarrassing for you to wait for Adai to grow up, and the Xie family is still waiting for you. I mean, why don’t you take a side concubine first, or carry two concubines? Your aunt chooses a few good ones for you.” When the queen said such a thing, she really put Xie Yingbai Put it in front of Ju Dai.

She said: “Zhen Xian’an, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, has also dealt with you. His eldest daughter Zhen Xibingxue is smart and stunning, and her appearance is not inferior to that little fox. If you are interested, I will call Miss Zhen to the palace for you to take a look. how?”

Who Xiaohu Meizi was referring to, although the queen did not say clearly, she and Xie Ying both knew it.

Xie Ying lightly rubbed the edge of the tea cup with her thumb, her expression unrecognizable, and he said, “It’s enough for the maiden to worry about the prince’s backyard. I have my own plans for my marriage. As for Princess Huaxian, I have always regarded her as a younger sister, and the maiden can Find another consort for the princess.

The queen’s face changed suddenly: “I have plans… Let me tell you, aunt, who are you planning?”

Xie Ying didn’t answer directly, but said: “After Zhu Yi is loyal and strong, she respects her mother as a mother, and her actions today are really inappropriate.”

The queen’s brows were furrowed. She was thinking about not having a quarrel with him. She didn’t mention it. He was better and took the initiative to mention it. Is this to ask for an explanation for Zhu Yi?

The queen stood up: “Aying, you know how your aunt treats you since you were young. You are very confused. You asked Xie Shao to be the king of the county when you went to the table last time, and your aunt was against it for you. Acting against me for an outsider?”

Xie Ying sneered slightly, and was about to speak, but the prince strode in. He greeted the queen, looked at Xie Ying and said, “As expected, Ah Ying is here with the queen mother, and I am looking for you. Zhu Boyu, they are here again, let’s go, the two of us. Brothers, we must win all the treasures at the bottom of the box.”

As soon as the queen heard it, she knew that they were going to cuju. In front of the prince, it was not easy for her to discuss the previous topic with Xie Ying. She glanced at Xie Ying and said, “Go, go, beware of the heat.”

——

Xie Ying soon found out that Zhu Yi began to avoid him in the past few days after returning from Dajue Temple. She didn’t even go to Zhu Xiuli’s place, she called the palace maid to call Zhu Xiuli to find her. He asked her again in the name of Zhu Xiuli, and she didn’t come out again.

Obviously that day, she was very obedient to him, and she changed her mind when she returned to the palace. Xie Ying frowned slightly, and was planning to visit her boudoir again at night, but the emperor gave him a chance.

When Xie Ying arrived at the imperial study, Zhu Yi was there. Xie Ying didn’t look sideways, didn’t look at Zhu Yi, and only greeted the emperor.

The emperor first cared about Xie Ying as an elder, and then said: “Xizhen is the most filial to her grandmother. The Obon Festival is coming, and she will set off to Longguo Temple tomorrow on behalf of the queen mother.”

Xie Ying followed the emperor’s words and glanced at Zhu Yi naturally. Zhu Yi didn’t dare to look back with a guilty conscience. She would go to Longguo Temple at this time every year, but this year, she was thinking of avoiding Xie Ying.

The emperor continued: “Rong Xiao, who escorted Xizhen in the past, is not in the palace now.” He looked at Xie Ying and said, “How about Shou Xu escort Xizhen to Longguo Temple this time?”

Zhu Yi hurriedly said, “No!”

The emperor and Xie Ying turned their heads to look at her together. Xie Ying’s eyes made Zhu Yi feel uneasy. She said, “It’s not worth working on the prince for such a trivial matter. The emperor can assign a few guards at will.”

Guarding the princess is also a serious job. It’s just that Xie Ying is an ordinary nobleman’s son, calling him a princess guard.

The most important thing is that Longguo Temple is the largest royal monastery in this dynasty. It is not near the palace, but in the suburbs of Beijing. In previous years, she usually lived in Longguo Temple for more than ten days. Temple back to the forbidden city. For such a long period of time, Zhu Yi and Xie Ying were together every day, and Zhu Yi felt at a loss even thinking about it.

“This…” The emperor was still hesitating, but Xie Ying said lightly, “The minister has the order.”

After leaving the imperial study, both Xie Ying and Zhu Yi had to walk towards the back bed, and they naturally walked together.

Zhu Yi kept her eyes on the road ahead, and Xie Ying also walked for a while, then turned her head to look at Zhu Yi, her eyes were meaningful.

Zhu Yi thought that Xie Ying was going to ask her to go somewhere alone with him, but Xie Ying just said: “Princess, tomorrow, the minister will pick you up at Shunhe Gate.”

Jue nodded.

That night, Zhu Chuo and Zhu Xiuli hugged her and cried, they were extremely reluctant. These two people used to be so exaggerated that Zhu Yi couldn’t help but feel sad. After all, Zhu Ning wasn’t here, these two were what she cared about most in the palace. Zhu Yi kept comforting the two of them, saying that they could go back to the Forbidden City to meet in late July, but as they talked, the three of them hugged their heads again.

But the matter of praying for the queen mother was proposed by Zhu Yi when she was eleven years old in order to get close to the queen mother. After the first time, it will naturally continue, otherwise it will be sincere.

Concubine Tong was very happy, she was very satisfied with the emperor’s arrangement. This time, she didn’t even tell Zhu Yi not to get too intimate with Xie Ying.

It is reluctant that the child cannot catch the wolf. Besides, the princess is different from the daughter of ordinary people. Even if she has lost her virginity and married someone, she is still a princess, representing the heavenly family. Anyone who the emperor wants to point to, everyone has to welcome it back. Besides, there are also nuns who are proficient in this way to marry, and some are covered up on the wedding night.

Concubine Tong thought, even if it was the worst plan, Xie Ying didn’t want to marry her after eating Zhu Yi, but as long as she didn’t let Zhu Yi get pregnant, she was not afraid that Zhu Yi would not be able to find a good husband. And a person like Xie Ying would never let a woman who was not his concubine give birth to his child. Concubine Tong was not worried about that.

Zhu Yi has always traveled lightly wherever she went. She went out the next day with only four maids, big and small, and two eunuchs.

After exiting Shunhemen, Zhu Yi slowed down. Not far away was a group of young men with strong physique. They were wearing the same style of navy blue uniforms. Their attire was different from that of the Imperial Forest Army. They should have been the personal guards that Xie Ying brought from Weizhou.

And the prince was actually there, talking with Xie Ying on the stone steps.

Zhu Yi stepped forward and said, “Xizhen has seen the emperor’s brother.”

The prince saw Zhu Yi from afar and waited for her to come over. The prince said gently: “Xizhen is the most benevolent and filial, and this time it will be hard. After a while, Brother Emperor will come to Longguo Temple to do his part after finishing the urgent matter at hand.”

Zhu Yi said: “It’s not hard work in the temple. Brother Huang shoulders heavy responsibilities, and Xizhen can do these things on his behalf.”

Xie Ying silently listened to the two of them, seeing Zhu Yi’s box and crate loaded into the carriage, and said, “Can the princess set out?”

Zhu Yi said goodbye to the prince and went to the first carriage in front.
