The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17]

Early in the morning the next day, Zhu Yi said to Xie Ying, “Sir, you don’t have to follow me all day long, you can go to work with you if you have something to do.”

Zhu Yi knew that there should be a lot of people who secretly want to befriend Xie Yingpan. Besides, the Xie family’s influence has long been deeply rooted in the capital, and there should be a lot of people Xie Ying wants to see.

Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi: “What is the princess going to do, don’t you want the minister to follow? But the minister has to ensure the princess’ safety.”

Zhu Yi said, “Just go with me if I have Wen Yan. Wen Yan’s kung fu is so good, I will be fine.”

Seeing Zhu Yi’s eager look, Xie Ying smiled and replied yes, she really led Shen Xingliu to do other things.

When Zhu Yi arrived at Buxing, Rong Xiao was already waiting there. He was the youngest son of Duke Cheng. The eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in a black embroidered dark silver bamboo pattern, has a sharp eyebrows, handsome and straight, but his temperament is far calmer than his peers.

Seeing Zhu Yi, Rong Xiao immediately got up and saluted. Zhu Yi gestured that he did not have to see outsiders. Rong Xiao took a deep look at Zhu Yi and said, “The princess came from the palace, right? I don’t know who escorted the princess?”

Zhu Yi said, “Xie Ying sent me here.”

Rong Xiao was startled: “Prince Wei Ning? How could the emperor let him take such a job.”

It seems that everyone thinks that Xie Ying has wronged him to be her guard, and Zhu Yi laughed at himself slightly.

Rong Xiao asked again, “Why does the princess come here in person, and come here often?”

“Chang Lin and Mianfeng are still behind.” Zhu Yi didn’t say much, only said: “Last time you let me read the letter Chang Lin brought me, did it say that you have contacted my father’s old department? ”

“Yes, these two are very loyal to General Pei, and they have stayed in Rongfeng since the general went. I know that the princess will enter Longguo Temple in early July, and I have contacted them in advance. In two days, they should be able to arrive at the capital. .”

“Okay.” Zhu Yi was a little excited, she was finally going to see her father’s old friend. She looked at Rong Xiao and said, “Be careful on your own side.”

Zhu Yi’s concern made Rong Xiao’s eyes move and said, “I know, I’m fine. It’s the princess, so be careful about everything in the palace.”

Zhu Yi nodded and said, “Thank you, Rong Xiao, I don’t even know how to thank you.” Zhu Yi gave Rong Xiao the money and silk, but the other party didn’t want it.

Rong Xiao smiled: “Princess don’t have to worry about it, these are what the minister is willing to do.” He also said intentionally: “Princess, how is your relationship with Xie Shizi?”

Zhu Yi was stunned. She couldn’t tell the third person about her actual relationship with Xie Ying, so she vaguely said, “It’s okay.”

Rong Xiao said: “This minister recommends not to tell the prince what we are investigating. Also… the princess should not get too close to Xie Ying. Xie Ying is a man with a deep wealth and will do whatever it takes for his interests. Many people are arrested by him. Playing with Yu Guzhang and taking heart to him, because of the princess’ temperament, it is not appropriate to interact with him too much.”

Naturally, the less people know about the cause of her biological father’s death, the better. Zhu Yi nodded: “I know. Since you are doing this, I won’t tell others.” Rong Xiao later said Xie Ying’s words, but Zhu Yi did not answer. , she didn’t know how to answer.

Seeing Zhu Yi, Rong Xiao was in a very good mood and said, “Princess, it’s almost noon. There is a Cuiping restaurant nearby. The dishes are not bad. Would you like to invite the princess to taste it?”

Zhu Yi smiled and said, “I’ll ask you. You’re always helping me, so let me thank you a little.”

Xie Ying walked to the steps of a restaurant, and as the fiery red clothes approached, a whip suddenly came towards him.

Xie Ying grabbed the tail of the whip and poured his internal energy into it. The whip became a stick in an instant. As soon as he sent it forward, the owner of the whip flew out backwards.

“Ah! It hurts!” Yan Yu’er fell to the ground with a coquettish whimper, but raised her head and couldn’t bear to look away from the man who threw her to the ground.

Xie Ying was careful after all, so Yan Yuer was able to stand up with the help of the guards. Yan Yu’er stared at Xie Ying closely, only to feel that the sun above her head was bright, but not as bright as the person in front of her.

Xie Ying asked, “What is the county owner doing with me?”

Yan Yuer held back the pain and smiled: “Xie Ying, didn’t you see the letter I asked the guard to send you last night?”

“I see.”

“Then why don’t you go to Yaotai Pavilion today for my appointment?”

Xie Yingqi said, “I am not related to you and not related to you. Besides, there are men and women to guard against, so why should I go to your appointment?”

Yan Yu’er’s face turned pale: “Why is it not a relationship? We almost became husband and wife.”

“The county head is cautious.” Xie Ying’s face became solemn.

Yan Yuer sneered: “In front of me, don’t pretend to be serious. I have seen that woman, what’s so good about her, no matter how plain she is, she can’t hide those fox eyes.”

Xie Ying’s eyes were dark, and she didn’t answer her words, she just said: “If the county owner follows me again, and I treat him as Xiao Xiao and accidentally hurt him, don’t blame me for not thinking about the friendship with your brother.”

The man’s voice was flat, but on a hot day, Yan Yuer had a cold fight. She has never been threatened by anyone since she was a child, and immediately said: “…you dare!”

Xie Ying said: “The county owner can try it.” After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the guard beside Yan Yu’er, and the guard immediately understood that the prince was warning him to be optimistic about his young lady, otherwise if she was injured and disabled, as a The guards are to blame.

“Xie Ying!” Yan Yu’er looked at Xie Ying’s back as she turned and left, and finally did not dare to catch up.

This restaurant is the Cuiping Hall. Wen Yan welcomed Xie Ying in and took him to the box on the second floor. Xie Ying didn’t knock on the door, but just pushed the door and walked in.

Zhu Yi’s smile condensed on his lips, Xie Ying glanced at her with half drooping eyelids, and then looked at Rong Xiao who was sitting opposite her.

It’s not just women who are sensitive to rivals, but men too. Rong Xiao noticed something from Xie Ying’s glance at Zhu Yi. He stood up and said hello, “Sir.”

Xie Ying said, “Rong San, has your elder brother returned to the Duke’s Mansion?”

Rong Xiao knew that Xie Ying and his eldest brother Rong Ting had killed each other on the battlefield, and the friendship was very deep.

Only then did Xie Ying look at Zhu Yi again, and Zhu Yi reacted and stood up and said, “Can the prince have lunch? If not, let’s go together.”

Xie Ying looked at her with a slight smile and said, “No.”

Xie Ying’s smile made Zhu Yi’s heart tighten, and his eyes always made her feel that Xie Ying would punish her after a while. But she felt that she had done nothing wrong. Rong Xiao was her friend and helped her investigate the cause of her father’s death. It was reasonable for her to invite him to dinner.

Zhu Yi said: “The prince will also sit. Let’s add a few more dishes.”

Rong Xiao’s eyes went back and forth between Xie Ying and Zhu Yi, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

After Xie Ying sat down, she didn’t look at Zhu Yi again. He was talking to Rong Xiao all the time, and the two asked for wine, and Zhu Yi ate silently beside him.

Just when Zhu Yi thought he would eat the meal silently, Xie Ying suddenly bullied her, so close that she thought he was going to kiss her, and Zhu Yi hurriedly leaned back in fright.

“Why is it stained with persimmon juice?” Xie Ying stretched out his right hand, wiped the corner of Zhu Yi’s mouth with the pulp of his finger, and rubbed the delicate skin of her chin twice before withdrawing his hand calmly.

After Xie Ying retreated, Zhu Yi’s face burned uncontrollably. Rong Xiao’s hands on his lap folded into fists. Only Xie Ying, as if his previous behavior was normal, poured another glass of wine and moved it to his lips.

Zhu Yi returned to her senses, and she said in front of Rong Xiao that she and Xie Ying were just “okay”, but Xie Ying turned around and came out like this. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare to look at Rong Xiao again when she was exposed in person.

Zhu Yi stared at the culprit who made him embarrassed, Xie Ying looked back at her, and contrary to Zhu Yi’s arrogance, Xie Ying showed her a soft smile. These two people look at me, I look at you, it’s more like they are flirting with each other. Rong Xiao turned his eyes away.

When Zhu Yi said goodbye to Rong Xiao, Xie Ying stood aside. Rong Xiao couldn’t say it directly. He just looked at Zhu Yi and said, “Princess, you must remember what I said to you earlier, about that person.” Although Rong Xiao also knew that it was difficult for Xie Ying to escape from his grasp, but he couldn’t help reminding Zhu Yi.

In order to let Rong Xiao not worry, Zhu Yi nodded. Xie Ying stood aside to watch the two of them without urging them.

Back at the inn, no matter how fast Zhu Yi moved, she couldn’t lock Xie Ying out of the door, but after the door was closed, she was pressed by Xie Ying behind the door and could not go anywhere.

Zhu Yi raised her hand to beat him, and then exclaimed, her body left the ground, and was actually picked up by Xie Ying with her two little butts, she subconsciously hugged Xie Ying’s neck to prevent him Abandoned her again and again.

Xie Ying was obviously satisfied with Zhu Yi’s actions, he hugged her and pushed her back against the door again. He supported her neither high nor short, just shoulder height with him. Xie Ying didn’t do anything else, but Zhu Yi’s legs had to be spread, and Xie Ying’s waist was facing him.

Zhu Yi was so embarrassed that she almost cried: “How… how can you do this? Xie Ying, you can’t do this to me!” She was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, but she remembered that it was by the door and might be taken from the corridor. When passers-by heard it, they tightly shut their mouths and used their eyes to accuse each other.

Zhu Yi’s eyes were slightly red, and he wanted to cry or not, to make trouble but to be afraid of being heard by others, but Xie Ying couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and he kissed Zhu Yi. On his forehead, he asked, “Princess, tell me, what kind of fairy you are, you seduce your ministers like this every day.”

Fairy is just a bad word, plus seduction. Zhu Yi has been taking classes in the Dishui Academy since he was a child, and he knows books and etiquette. She growled angrily: “Xie Ying, besides bullying me, what else would you do?”

What Xie Ying thought was that he had to protect her. Zhu Yi’s pitiful appearance now, if it falls into the hands of other men, I don’t know how much he will suffer.

Xie Ying suddenly said: “Including the ministers, the princess has three guards, right?”

Zhu Yi was still angry and didn’t want to answer him, only said: “You let me down.”

Xie Ying said: “Answer first.”

Zhu Yi then said, “How can the prince be considered a bodyguard, but it’s just an occasional trip to the prince.”

“Since Rong Xiao can be a prince of the state’s government, why can’t I be?” Xie Ying asked with a special meaning.
