The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 23

[Chapter 23]

“Let me twist it for the princess.” Xie Ying asked Zhu Yi to sit on the edge of the bed, and picked up the white cotton towel prepared by the palace servant to wrap her half-wet hair.

With Xie Ying in it, Mianfeng couldn’t come in to help her twist her hair. This job should be done by him, and Zhu Yi benefited from it with peace of mind.

He picked up the sandalwood comb in the silver plate again. Zhu Yi’s hair was slender, smooth and silky as silk. It looked good, and when he held it in his hand, it made people reluctant to let go, so Xie Ying combed it for a while.

Zhu Yi looked at him and said, “Isn’t the prince doing this set quite smoothly?”

Xie Ying glanced at Zhu Yi and smiled: “It will be easier to brush the princess more often in the future.” She added, “I heard that the princess is not feeling well today, as if she is in pain?”

Zhu Yi was slightly startled and said, “Yes, but it’s not a big problem, it’s an old problem.”

Xie Ying stared at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi felt that the other party’s tone had changed: “It’s an old problem. If you want to come to the princess, you should also bring pills with you. The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, there is no reason to invite a traveling doctor to come close to you. The minister happens to have someone who is familiar with Qihuang. If you feel unwell, the minister calls someone to diagnose and treat the princess.”

He started to call himself a servant again. Zhu Yi found that Xie Ying would not usually call her “chen”, but as long as he used this word, he must have a different mind than usual. Xie Ying’s words are indeed correct. He is a loyal subject, but his tone of voice is really wrong. Doesn’t he know something? Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying and said, “Got it.”

“Does the princess still feel pain in her heart?” Xie Ying asked.

Zhu Yi wanted to divert his attention and said, “Just a little bit, just get a night’s sleep.”

“Yeah, I’ll help the princess to pinch.”

The man’s scorching palm covered Zhu Yi’s belly. The skin of the two was only separated by a thin layer of middle clothes. Zhu Yi shrank as if being burned, and hurriedly held his hand: “No.” But her A little bit of strength has no effect on Xie Ying. Xie Ying insisted on caring for her, but she couldn’t refuse at all.

Xie Ying’s hands were neither light nor heavy, rubbing in circles, and he really helped her to press her stomach seriously, and asked, “Are you comfortable?”

Zhu Yi bit her lip and nodded, she didn’t know what was wrong with her legs being weak as long as Xie Ying touched her. But it’s really comfortable. It was useless to resist, and she slowly relaxed her body. Aware of Zhu Yi’s change, Xie Ying pulled her over and leaned against him.

If there are cat owners who see this scene, they will definitely feel that Zhu Yi’s lazy description now resembles a cat whose owner touches its belly. Xie Ying looked down at Zhu Yi’s submissive appearance with satisfaction, and his intention was to make Zhu Yi gradually accept and get used to the closeness of the two.

“Is the princess better?” Xie Ying asked.

Zhu Yi nodded confusedly, how could Xie Ying knead so comfortably, he could also go to the plum blossom soup restaurant as a male master. Oh no, no, he can only give her a girl to press. Her breathing gradually lengthened.

Xie Ying helped Zhu Yi rub her stomach for a while and put her on the bed.

Xie Ying covered Zhu Yi with a silk quilt, sat beside the bed and watched her sleeping face for a long time, then suddenly reached out and twisted the bulge on her chest, causing Zhu Yi, who had already fallen asleep, to groan in pain. one sound. He said, “The next time the princess lies, the minister will punish Xiao Yiyi.” After speaking, he got up and left.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yi went to the Ksitigarbha Palace, Wen Yan was guarding outside the palace, but after a while, Xie Ying brought Shen Xingliu over.

Wen Yan took two steps forward: “Sir.” Xie Ying looked at her: “What are you doing standing outside?”

Wen Yan said nervously, “The princess said that she likes to worship Buddha in peace, and she doesn’t like strangers around, so she ordered her servants to stay here.”

Xie Ying entered the hall, the futon was empty, and there were wooden fish, rosary beads and a roll of golden rice paper on the table. Only Mianfeng and one of Zhu Yi’s little palace maids, Wan Qing, were there. He asked, “Where’s the princess?”

Guan Qing rushed to answer Xie Ying, his voice sweeter than usual: “Princess is offering lamps in the side hall.”

Xie Ying moved to the side hall when he heard the words, and Mianfeng stopped in front of Xie Ying and said, “Sir, please be slow.”

The man’s eyes were cold and threatening, and even if he didn’t speak, Mianfeng’s voice could not be controlled from trembling: “Sir, when the princess is offering lamps, you must visualize it, and no one is allowed to disturb it.”

With Xie Ying’s light touch, Mianfeng was brought to the side, his figure swayed, and the curtain was lifted. The lamp is offered, but there is no shadow of Zhu Yi?

Zhu Yi didn’t leave too far, just in the Zhaitang next to the Tibetan Temple. The person she met was the one arranged by Rong Xiao. Zhu Yi looked at the other party’s token, listened to the other party’s account of what he knew back then, and asked some questions he wanted to know, so he asked the eunuch Chang Lin to lead the other party out of the temple. Zhu Yi was a little disappointed, the two did not provide much valuable clues.

She watched the backs of the two disappear into the winding forest road, took off her hat and turned around, but was startled by the man who appeared out of nowhere.

“What’s wrong with the princess’ body? I’ve changed her husband today.” Xie Ying leaned against Gu Bai’s body and stood up straight, looking at Zhu Yi’s eyes sharper than usual.

Zhu Yi suppressed the tumbling in her heart, frowned slightly, and said, “I feel a little dizzy today.” Her voice was soft, and her breathing was a little too fast because of her nervousness, so she really showed a bit of a delicate state.

Xie Ying walked forward, and Zhu Yi stepped back. Before taking two steps back, he stepped on the silk curtain of the hat in his hand and fell down, asking Xie Ying to grab her arm and lift the person up. Xie Ying looked at her for a moment and said, “Does the princess have anything to say to the minister?”

Jue shook her head. Xie Ying pulled out a slightly self-deprecating smile and walked behind Zhu Yi without speaking.

Back in the room, Xie Ying was writing and standing in front of the desk, and the pen was flying like a fly. The image of a middle-aged man with a face with a Chinese character appeared on the paper, and his facial features were drawn in great detail. It was the person Zhu Yi met today.

Xie Ying put the pen down and said: “Give it to Sheng Qing, the background of this person and the one from yesterday must be carefully verified. It’s been too long, and it’s impossible to do it just by token, especially to find out that the two have wives and children now. “Those who drag their families and mouths, even if they are willing to be used by Zhu Yi now, they will still be against the water if they are taken by their family members in the future.

Shen Xingliu answered yes.

Soon another person came in and told Xie Ying, “Sir, Princess Cai just left the yard and met Young Master Rong at Jialan Hall.”

Xie Ying said lightly, “I know.”

——

Zhu Yi took a nap that day, and finally couldn’t help but say, “Wenyan, I haven’t seen the prince for two days, what is he busy with?” She knew that Xie Ying was busy, and she tried to give him time, but she didn’t see Xie Ying for two days. Not showing up is too much. Couldn’t he… don’t miss her?

Wen Yan said: “The slaves are all following the princess now, and I don’t know the prince’s usual arrangements. However, the slaves seemed to see the prince returning to the opposite wing before.”

“Really?” Zhu Yi got up from the bed and went out the door.

“Princess?” Tao Fan, who was cleaning up the paper and ink on the table in Xie Ying’s room, saw Zhu Yi who suddenly appeared, and hurriedly saluted.

After a while, Xie Ying turned out from behind the screen: “Is there something the princess is looking for?” Seeing this, Tao Fan immediately exited the door.

Zhu Yi said, “Did the prince forget that you are still leading the messenger to protect me?”

Zhu Yi did not frown, but there were subtle emotions in her voice. Xie Ying looked at her silently for a moment, and said, “I have not forgotten it.”

“Then you disappeared for two days, did you tell me?” The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt.

Xie Ying said: “It wasn’t the princess who said that we should not intervene in each other’s private affairs?”

She did say this, but she didn’t mean… Seeing Xie Ying’s indifference, Zhu Yi suddenly didn’t want to pay attention to him, snorted, turned around and left.

“Ah!” Zhu Yi suddenly let out a short low voice just two steps under the shade of the tree.

Xie Ying came out of the room after hearing the sound, and saw Zhu Yi stomping his feet in place, scratching his neck and back with both hands. The red mark on the back of the snow-white neck was striking, and it went all the way down, hidden in the purple robe.

Xie Ying frowned: “Princess, don’t grab it with your hands.”

Zhu Yi only felt that this person had wings instead of feet, because like a gust of wind, she was brought back to Xie Ying’s room.

With the sound of the two doors closing, Zhu Yi was pressed against the table and sat down. The next moment, the man’s fingers poked in from the neckline and slightly lifted her thin Luo shirt.

Xie Ying had a panoramic view of Zhu Yi’s naked back, including the red-scarred milk-white skin, two delicate butterfly bones, and a slender spinal groove with a graceful curvature.

“You—” Zhu Yi realized then, and he became more and more arrogant. He actually picked her clothes to look at her in broad daylight, and turned around in anger to get rid of his hand.

“Don’t move!” Xie Ying reprimanded: “You have all the thorns on your back. Wait here.”

After that, Zhu Yi went out alone.

The back was extremely itchy and painful, and the tips of the fingers were slightly red and swollen. Zhu Yi had already guessed that it was a foreign spicy child, but she was stung once when she was a child, and it didn’t hurt so much.

She also knew that the clothes wrapped around her body would make the burr drill deeper, and she didn’t move any more.

Xie Ying came back soon, he said, “Princess unbuttoned the shirt, I will help you take out the burr.”

Zhu Yi’s heart suddenly burst: “How can this be done. You… can’t you call Mianfeng over?”

“No. She can’t do it well when she comes here. What if there are thorns left on the princess’ body.” Xie Ying didn’t look at Zhu Yi, but took a piece of cotton yarn from the medicine box and didn’t know what to smear on it.

Seeing Xie Ying’s expression of not squinting and concentrating on applying medicine, Zhu Yi said, “Then…you have to promise me, just help me get the burrs, and nothing else.”

Xie Ying said ambiguous: “The princess thinks so much.”

Zhu Yi blushed, she didn’t hear Xie Ying’s avoidance, she took it lightly, she thought about it, and untied her belt. Xie Ying asked her to take out the apron too, because the straps at the back would affect the thorn removal. Qian Zi’s muslin robes came off and hung loosely around Zhu Yi’s waist.

Xie Ying raised a stool and sat behind Zhu Yi, lightly covered the cotton gauze on Zhu Yi’s back, and tore it off inch by inch. Then I heard him say: “Princess, the burr is taken out. You don’t move yet, and I will give you medicine.”

Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that she still sat obediently in front of Xie Ying and did not move. She held her clothes with both hands and raised her to cover her chest, and let him wash the back with a cotton pad and dew, and then apply medicine.

Zhu Yi had no idea what kind of visual impact she would have on men at the moment. Although the front was tightly covered by her defensively, her fragrant shoulders and jade arms like the first snow were exposed. Although the package is quite upturned and round, the real face is invisible, but it makes people want to see it even more.

The special colors in the world make people upside down and sink.

Zhu Yi kept asking: “Is the prince okay? The place you wiped now has already been medicated.”

Xie Ying hooked his lips, how could he not know that the medicine has been used here, he just dragged his time thinking, and has not made a final decision. However, Zhu Yi, this little fool, seems to have sensed the danger.

Xie Ying finally replied: “Okay.”

Seeing that the medicine on the back was finished, Zhu Yi reminded: “There are still fingers.” The thorn was picked out and cleaned, but the medicine had not been applied yet, so Xie Ying had forgotten it.

Zhu Yi raised his left hand on his shoulder and gave Xie Ying his finger. Her left hand was quickly held by the person behind her, and in the next instant, Zhu Yi’s eyes widened, and the numbness all over her body made her voice tremble: “What are you doing?”

Xie Ying still held Zhu Yi’s fingers and sucked lightly, Zhu Yi twisted, Xie Ying let go of her for fear of hurting her wrist.

After Zhu Yi withdrew his hand, he turned around and accused the man, “You—you forgot what you promised me earlier?”

Xie Ying looked down at the scenery revealed by Zhu Yiyin covering her clothes with only one hand, her voice was hoarse to restrain her desire to the limit: “What did I promise the princess?”
