The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 2

[chapter 2]

It stands to reason that Zhu Yi, as a princess with a title and a title, she is the king and Xie Ying is the minister. She was dissatisfied with Xie Ying and could ignore it arrogantly.

But Zhu Yi knew that she could not offend Xie Ying, whether it was for her mother’s seventh brother or her future husband’s family. So he adjusted his expression and gave him a dignified smile.

Just as he was about to look away, Zhu Yi saw that Xie Ying also pulled the corners of his lips and gave her an inexplicable smile. When Xie Ying smiled, the end of her eyes were slightly raised, and she was born with a soft and sentimental romantic rhyme. If the eyes are not so cold and intimidating, it is really heart-wrenching.

Zhu Yi was a little surprised by the response, and quickly lowered his head.

After a while, the emperor suddenly said: “Xizhen has lost weight recently.”

Following these words, everyone in the hall looked at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi was startled and retracted the chopsticks that were about to serve.

The eyes of the Crown Princess are especially complicated. In the past two years, Zhu Yi has been like a fairy who is sucking the essence of the sun and the moon. Become a vulgar powder. Even her brother only went to Beijing to meet once, and he couldn’t stop when he went back.

There is also that soft voice, slender and beautiful figure, because she is a princess, she cannot be discussed in the open, but in the heart of any man, what he wants is not to hold such stunners in the tent and play with love and affection. . It’s no wonder that the crown prince was reluctant to let her marry outside the palace, preparing to keep him for use after he ascended the throne.

Zhu Dai smiled and said, “Is there any? I think Sister Xizhen is almost the same throughout the year.”

The emperor has always indulged Zhu Dai, and he was not annoyed at her interjection, and only said: “Xizhen loves to eat shad, so give her this plate of Zhen.”

The emperor seldom offered food, and Zhu Yi was the first to experience it, and immediately said: “Thank you, father and emperor.”

This was Xie Ying’s banquet, but the emperor specifically mentioned Zhu Yi. People with a heart will inevitably think about the meaning behind this, and then they will not know the taste.

Concubine Tong glanced at the queen with a smile, then looked at Zhu Yi. She has spent a lot of effort on this niece, and naturally she will use her to exchange for the best support.

Ever since the emperor took over the country from his elder brother, he has been faced with a situation of strong branches and weak bases, and all vassals stand against each other.

There were nine vassal kings in the dynasty, and the Xie family of Weizhou was second to none, followed by Jingzhou and Yongzhou. These three feudal lords are all foreign relatives and have the power to follow the dragon.

All the vassal kings are watching the movements of the Xie family. And everyone knows that Xie Chongying, the king of Wei Ning, has become more and more obsessed with women in recent years. The military and political power of Weizhou has long been in the hands of the prince Xie Ying. Therefore, Xie Ying’s attitude is very important. Even if he only respects the majesty of the Heavenly Family on the surface, it can make the court less urgent.

Let Zhu Yi marry Xie Ying, of course, what Concubine Tong wanted most. Although the queen is Xie Ying’s aunt, if Zhu Yi gives birth to Xie Ying’s heir, then the Xie family may not be the queen’s backing anymore.

Both the emperor and Concubine Tong loved singing and dancing, and sometimes they even composed music and choreographed the dances themselves. Jiaofang Division, in order to cater to the emperor, also went to great lengths to bring forth new ideas. The standard of court dance nowadays is rarely seen.

Seeing that the emperor and Concubine Tong were looking at each other, the queen left the table with a sullen face.

The queen can go, but others can’t. The emperor likes to see a large family in harmony. However, it is still possible to go outside and get some air and go back.

After sitting for a while, Zhu Yi felt that something was wrong with her body. She went to the clean room. Sure enough, Guishui came, and her skirt was stained a little.

She sent Geng Lu to talk to Concubine Tong, and hurriedly left with Mian Feng.

Just walking out of the garden of Yizheng Palace, and just about to turn on the road leading to the back bedroom, Mianfeng said sharply, “Princess, the Fourth Highness is coming over there.”

When Zhu Yi heard about Zhu Xiuce’s prodigal son, he quickly hid behind the rockery with Mianfeng. There is a man-high hole behind this rockery. Zhu Yi just took a few steps, but his feet stagnate.

Xie Ying?

The other party’s expression was also strange for a moment.

Xie Ying was standing outside, the hole in the rockery was not deep, and a dress with green embroidered orchid patterns flashed by—what did she bump into?

Zhu Yi recalled, who is wearing green clothes today. Zhu Jing’s figure immediately appeared in her mind.

Zhu Jing is the fifth oldest, just one year younger than Zhu Yi, and she is also a beauty. She has a small dark red tear mole under her left eye, slender shoulders and a slender waist. She likes to wear light green palace dresses that are wide and elegant all the year round, and her body becomes more and more light, like a willow shadow in the wind.

Xie Ying and Zhu Jing?

Zhu Yi was stunned, she hadn’t seen it before. Zhu Jing’s mother was originally a palace maid, and she died a long time ago. Her status in this palace was lower than that of her adopted princess, and she was completely dependent on Zhu Dai, which was indeed a pitiful one.

It turns out that Xie Ying likes delicate girls? Say it earlier, why did you have to go to her appointment at that time? Moreover, make a pair of eyes that grow to the sky, and no one can look down on it, and show it to who?

Xie Ying obviously also knew that Zhu Jing hid in a step slower. Seeing Zhu Yi’s face changing suddenly, Xie Ying knew that the other party had misunderstood. It doesn’t make any difference to him whether it’s a man or a woman who can do something for him.

At this moment, Zhu Xiuce shouted drunkenly from outside, and Xie Ying frowned.

Zhu Yi couldn’t say what she felt in her heart. It stands to reason that she and Xie Ying were married and had nothing to do with each other. When Zhu Xiuce’s voice went away, she squeezed out a smile: “Sir, I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

Zhu Yi turned around and ran away, his wrist was clasped by the man, Xie Ying leaned down and sprayed behind Zhu Yi’s ear with a slight alcohol smell: “It’s too dark, I’ll take the princess back.”

The distance between the two was too close, and Xie Ying’s tall figure made Zhu Yi feel oppressed. Zhu Yi took a breath, but Xie Ying quickly let go of her.

“Don’t bother Shizi, you are busy with yours.”

Xie Ying looked at her: “I’m not busy. Let’s go.”

Zhu Yi thought about why Xie Ying insisted on keeping Zhu Jing and gave her away. It should be because she didn’t want her to tell the rumor that she saw tonight, to intimidate her and make her shut up? Zhu Yi immediately said: “Sir, I promise I didn’t see anything. My palace maid was blocked by me, and I couldn’t see it.”

Xie Ying’s eyes turned bad.

Zhu Yi said again: “Don’t worry, the prince, my concubine has already chosen my concubine, and I will never hinder your marriage.” She could also see the meaning of the father’s presence in the palace today.

“I said go.” Xie Ying’s face gradually darkened, and Zhu Yi did not dare to sing the opposite. Mianfeng followed behind, and he didn’t dare to come out.

In summer, the days are long, and the lamps in the white stone lamp sockets on both sides of the road are also burning, so it is not too dark.

None of the three said a word. Zhu Yi suddenly felt light. She didn’t know what happened yet.

The sound of gold and stone came into my ears, and it was especially startling at night.

Zhu Yi looked at the source of the sound, a gold-handled dagger with a thin sheet of paper had sunk into the ground, and a snake with a thick copper coin was struggling under the upright tip, with a triangular head and a dark red body with yellow rings. Appearance, most of them are poisonous.

Zhu Yi was still afraid after seeing the snake, but Xie Ying’s attention had shifted to the person in his arms.

Zhu Yi was hooped from behind, her chest was soft and high, just right on his hard arm. Because the girl was afraid of breathing heavier than usual, her chest kept rising and falling, allowing people to clearly feel the subtle changes in the pair.

Xie Ying lowered his eyes for a moment, released his arm, and took two steps back.

Only then did Zhu Yi look at him and say, “Thank you, the prince for your help.”

Xie Ying didn’t speak, he went to retrieve the dagger, wiped it with a white cotton handkerchief, the cold light of the dagger swayed on his face. Said: “Let’s go, the princess doesn’t think I’ll give you extra.”

He saved her, and said this on purpose, did he want to embarrass her? Zhu Yi felt that Xie Ying was a little hateful.

In the forbidden city, Zhu Yi lived with Concubine Tong, but the building of the palace was small, so it was always inconvenient for the emperor to come here, so he simply arranged Zhu Yi in the Yuewang Pavilion alone. Jue was at ease.

Seeing that Yuewang Pavilion was just ahead, Zhu Yi stopped and said, “Sir, you can send it here.” There are still many eunuchs and palace maids in Yuewang Pavilion.

Xie Ying smiled at Zhu Yi’s cautiousness, and he said lightly to Mianfeng: “You go first, I will say a few words to your princess.”

Where does Mianfeng dare to go, look at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi frowned, knowing that Xie Ying was used to being domineering, she thought about it and said, “Go, Mianfeng.”
