The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21]

Xie Ying bought a rabbit lamp for Zhu Yi. The size of three fists stacked together is not a valuable thing, but it is also exquisitely made. Zhu Yi likes it very much.

She put the extinguished light on the window lattice, lying on the bed and couldn’t help but tilt her head to look at the white rabbit in the moonlight.

Zhu Yi thought, Xie Ying doesn’t know what he’s doing now, is he asleep? Do you miss her too? She soon felt that she was a jerk again. She was still thinking about a man at night, and she cared what he did. Zhu Yi pulled up a thin silk and covered it on his face, blocking the reddened face that no one would see.

She was covered in the silk quilt but couldn’t help but think again, but Xie Ying was sometimes very considerate. The silk quilt and the flower tea pillow were Zhu Yi’s own things. She forgot to bring them when she rode into the capital, but Xie Ying called Mian. Feng found out and helped her carry it.

The next day, the prince called the painting boat in the palace. In the afternoon, Zhu Yi, Xie Ying, Yan Yuer, and Zhu Zhenan were called, as well as some other clan children, young nobles, and some family members.

This is the only three-storey painting boat in the whole capital. It is rich and spacious, and it expresses the style of Tianjia. The other boats on Dan Shui knew at a glance that they came out of the palace, so they avoided it from a distance.

The female relatives are arranged on the third floor. The prince specially said to Zhu Yi: “Xizhen, you will be responsible for entertaining the female family here.” Zhu Yi naturally answered yes. Tomorrow, she will go to Longguo Temple to eat fast food and pray to Buddha. She is also very happy to be able to travel the river on a painting boat tonight.

Xie Ying stopped Zhu Yi, who was going upstairs, and said in a low voice, “Princess can’t drink anymore at night.”

Zhu Yi glanced at him quickly: “Got it.”

As soon as they arrived on the third floor, Yan Yuer stopped Zhu Yi and said, “Princess, we had some misunderstandings when we first met, but I didn’t expect it was my own family. Last night I felt very bad, I hope Princess Don’t feel bad about me.”

Zhu Yi looked at each other in surprise. Yan Yuer was a guest from afar, and she was younger than her, so no matter what Zhu Yi thought, she had to comfort her at this time: “Whatever He Jia said, the past is over, how can I have anything to do with you? If you feel bad, don’t worry about it.”

Yan Yu’er smiled and said, “Then I can rest assured! The princess calls me Yu’er. Everyone calls me Yu’er. I don’t know who you call me and Jia.”

Zhu Yi also smiled and said, “Okay, Yu’er.”

Yan Yuer said again: “How about I call the princess sister?” Zhu Yi naturally agreed.

Yan Yu’er surrounded Zhu Yi’s sister Xizhen, who kept calling. She even brought the seal of the white jade cat, and said that she would give it to Zhu Yi as an apology, but Zhu Yi hurriedly said that she just wanted to see it at the time. If it wasn’t for the bad impression of the first meeting, Ren would have liked Yan Yu’er, a lively and lovely little girl.

During dinner, all the female relatives came with their husbands one after another. After everyone had eaten dinner, Zhu Yi looked at Yan Yuer and talked eloquently, saying that Jingzhou faces the sea in the east, and Jinghai Wangfu is in the north with the Liaoning army in the north. The Tatar, who was responsible for expelling sea pirates in the east, showed the pride in his speech and demeanor.

Yan Yuer has two big backers, the Queen Mother and King Jinghai. Even if the girls don’t deliberately flatter her, they have to give her face at this time, so they all listen to her and ask her about Jingzhou’s terroir. Besides, Yan Yu’er really spoke freshly, the sea was magnificent and the underwater was colorful, which of the ladies here had seen, and Zhu Yi was also fascinated by it.

Yan Yuer finished talking about Jingzhou’s pearl culture, and came over to Zhu Yi and said, “Does my sister think this pink pearl on my head looks good?”

The pearls embedded in Yan Yu’er’s hairpin are not ordinary pale pink, but rare cherry blossom powder. They are perfectly round and flawless and have excellent skin light. Zhu Yi praised it truthfully: “It’s beautiful.”

Yan Yu’er smiled and said, “This is what my brother brought back to me when he went out to sea. But even more rare are gold beads. After half a year, my brother will be visiting Beijing. I will write to him and ask him to be sure Bring a big gold bead for my sister.”

Zhu Yi smiled, and Yan Yu’er did live a life of her own will, but how could she take things from men she didn’t know in private. What’s more, there are also Jinzhu Palace in Jingzhou Gongfeng, but they are really rare, and because they are more suitable for mature women to wear, they are all tied to the queen mother and the concubine first, and the princesses did not get it. Zhu Yi politely declined.

Yan Yu’er said, “In short, it’s settled!”

Zhu Yi is too lazy to fight with her anymore, she will not be at that time.

The women started the wine order, and Zhu Yi remembered that Wen Yan said to let her go to the second floor. On the second floor are several guest rooms for a short rest. As soon as Zhu Yi went, he was pulled into one of them by Xie Ying.

Xie Ying’s alcohol smell was heavier than before, Zhu Yi shook his hand gently to dispel the alcohol smell, and said with a little dissatisfaction: “You told me not to drink, drink so much by yourself? I’ll see how you go back later.”

Xie Ying smiled and said, “I will stay awake no matter how much I drink.” He lowered his head and pecked Zhu Yi’s face. Zhu Yi is very afraid of getting close to Xie Ying now, because he had confused her so much yesterday that she did such a shy behavior, so she quickly pushed him and deliberately said, “Stinky!”

Xie Ying smiled even more: “I didn’t dislike the smell of the princess’ wine last night, but the princess dislikes me today?” She asked again, “Why did it take you so long to come down?”

“I heard Yan Yu’er talk about the scenery of Jingzhou, and I didn’t want to leave for a while.” Zhu Yi then blurted out: “I really want to go to Jingzhou to see, is the sea really so beautiful.” Then: “I also want to go to Rongfeng in Yunnan to see it. Look, listen to Rong Xiao, there is the most beautiful sea of rhododendrons.”

Rongfeng is where Pei Qingrang was martyred. Xie Ying gently stroked Zhu Yi’s back, took her into his arms, and said, “I will take the princess there in the future.”

“Ok?”

“Looking at the sea or looking at the cuckoo, as well as the snow peaks in Nanling, the grasslands and deserts, and even from Longxi to the Western Regions, as long as the princess wants to go, I can accompany you.”

Zhu Yi imagined the picture that Xie Ying painted for her. She grew up in Gongye. Even if she had fantasies, which woman did not spend her life in the deep courtyard, she heard an unreal feeling of illusoryness and asked: “Really?”

Xie Ying hummed softly.

Regardless of whether Xie Ying said it casually after drinking, Zhu Yi was willing to believe it at this moment. She obediently leaned on his chest for a while before saying, “I have to go up. Brother Huang asked me to greet everyone.”

Zhu Yi went back to the third floor and chatted with everyone for a while. The river bank passing by the painting boat happened to be the Shuixin Pavilion like a dragon palace. Everyone was watching the Shuixin Pavilion at night, and another palace maid came to Zhu Yi, saying that the prince invited her to go there. building.

Seeing that the prince had obviously drank a lot, Zhu Yi said, “What’s the matter, brother?” The prince asked, “Xizhen, is everything upstairs okay?” Zhu Yi nodded, and the prince asked a few more questions at random, then asked. let her go up.

When Zhu Yi passed the corridor on the second floor, she suddenly heard a female voice: “Ah, slow down…” The next thing was a low sob.

The lingering and weak voice reminded Zhu Yi of the tone she used to speak to Xie Ying last night. The people in this room are afraid that they are also doing shameful things. Zhu Yi is a little enlightened, and her cheeks are flushed, ready to speed up and leave. Really, there was no one when I went down just now, and when I came back, she actually bumped into her.

“Last night, my concubine saw you… um… with that girl, buying lanterns in Sanhe.”

This sentence instantly made Zhu Yi’s body stunned, and she retreated, wanting to hear it again.

The woman’s words made Zhu Yi anxious. After waiting for a while, she said two words intermittently: “Please don’t let me leave you, I will keep my mind.”

But the man didn’t speak, and even if Zhu Yi quickly put his ear to the door, he could only hear the man’s indistinct heavy breathing, and it was impossible to judge the identity of the man from this voice.

Zhu Yi thought, maybe it was a coincidence? Did someone else buy lanterns in Sanhe yesterday? Just as he was about to leave, the woman inside called out, “Young Master Xie…”

These three words made Zhu Yi’s mind bang for a while. She stared at the door in front of her without blinking, and Wen Yan’s expression changed. She looked at Zhu Yi and then at the door.

Zhu Yi raised her hand and tried to push the door, but she finally pulled back. She went down the first floor and just bumped into the prince who was talking to someone. She almost fell down due to the strength she brought to the other party. Wen Yan and the prince both held it at the same time. she. The prince looked at Zhu Yi’s pale face, and said with both distress and joy: “What is Xizhen doing in such a hurry?”

Zhu Yi asked, “Brother Huang, where is the prince?”

The prince said, “I haven’t seen Ah Ying for a while. He’s not on the first floor. Could it be that he drank too much and rested upstairs?”

After hearing this, Zhu Yi still looked into the hall on the first floor, and the prince said, “Is there anything urgent for Xizhen? Do you want to find Aying?” Zhu Yi didn’t say anything, the prince said, “Then I’ll go to the front to help you see. .” After a while, the prince came back and said, “A Ying is not down there. I also looked outside the cabin. I must have been lazy on the second floor.”

Seeing that Zhu Yi was still silent, the prince said solemnly, “Xizhen, did something happen?”

Zhu Yi returned to God and said, “No, then I’ll go up first.”

The prince looked at Zhu Yi’s back. He also knew that if it was so easy to make Xie Ying become addicted to drugs, aphrodisiacs, etc., then Xie Ying would have died many times a long time ago. Prince Ben didn’t even hold out hope that Xie Ying could play in person. But he was still not reconciled, and he could only hope that Zhu Yi had no experience in this area. If he could deceive her, he could deceive her. After all, the authorities are fans, in case Zhu Yi believes it.

Zhu Yi went to the second floor, the sound in the room was gone, Zhu Yi thought about it, and tried to push the door, but the door was not locked. When Zhu Yi walked in, there was no man in the room. A woman was leaning on the head of the bed. The half-covered tulle was full of blue and red marks, so she looked pitiful.

Yiyi slowly turned her head to look at Zhu Yi. Yiyi knew that if she tarnished others, the son would never want her again. When she saw Zhu Yi, there was something she didn’t understand, she was being used as a substitute.

The handsome boy that the son said did not appear, so he found another strong man who was not good-looking… It was just for the girl in front of him. As soon as the girl left, the man resisted and stopped and went out. The son is willing to bother for the girl in front of him. The girl’s eyes looked like a girl of yellow flowers, no wonder the young master has the confidence to mislead her.
