The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 3

[Chapter 3]

Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi, but did not speak immediately.

Zhu Yi was in a hurry. She just fiddled with tissue paper before, unnaturally tugging at her skirt, and asked, “What does the prince want to say?”

Xie Ying had noticed Zhu Yi’s situation for a long time, and seeing her wrinkled face, she said briefly: “Some things may not be all in sight.”

Zhu Yi thought to himself, right? Seeing Xie Ying make a special trip to explain to her, she felt a little indescribable. These two may have a different relationship, but they really have little to do with her. Just as he was about to make another decision, Xie Ying already said, “Let’s go.”

Zhu Yi’s words stuck in her throat, she could feel it, Xie Ying seemed to not want to listen to her, so let him go. She didn’t care whether Xie Ying would see her skirt, she turned around and ran away.

Seeing the other party disappear at the door of Yuewang Pavilion, Xie Ying’s figure also disappeared into the darkness.

When Zhu Yilai was young, he always had a dull pain in his lower abdomen, and his body was also weak, so he didn’t want to do anything, and spent the whole day reading on the couch.

“What book do you read?”

Zhu Chuo walked into Zhu Yi’s house with familiarity, and it was as quiet as a ghost, and suddenly pulled out Zhu Yi’s book, which turned out to be a book of tea.

Zhu Chuo sneered: “It’s boring!” Throwing the book back to her, Zhu Chuo winked: “I have a particularly beautiful book there, do you want it?”

Zhu Yi was amused by her and said, “Bring it here!”

Zhu Chuo invited his maid to whisper.

After the other party left, Zhu Chuo pushed Zhu Yi into the bed and sat next to her: “You are so squeamish for a little time? Resting in bed every day to cultivate, if you don’t know, you think you are pregnant. Come on, I’ll touch it, Does it exist?”

“Go away!” Zhu Yi knocked off Zhu Chuo’s hand that stretched into her t-shirt, and said with a smile, “If you want to touch yourself, I’m not like some people. There are several candidates for the first place. Who should I go with?”

Zhu Chuo said: “Xie Ying, this princess is counting…”

Zhu Yi smiled and interrupted her: “Ah Chuo, I really have no idea about Xie Ying.” You Qi saw him getting together with Zhu Jing.

Zhu Chuo was startled and said, “Really?” She paused: “However, let me tell you the third child, the father and emperor will definitely marry us all to the feudal lands. After half a year, the feudal feudal pilgrimage will pay tribute every five years. , then all the kings and princes will enter the capital, and the marriages of you, me, and Zhu Jing will all be decided at that time.”

Hearing Zhu Chuo mention Zhu Jing, Zhu Yi asked, “Then do you think the royal father will point Zhu Jing to Xie Ying?”

“It’s impossible to say.” Zhu Chuo thought about it seriously: “But Xie Ying’s marriage must be his own nod. Many men in Weizhou have Persian girls, and King Wei Ning also uses the beauty of the Sultan of Delhi. Well. They’re all plump and plump. Xie Ying is probably not good enough for a wind like Zhu Jing to blow away.”

Zhu Yi was thoughtful. Zhu Chuo also quieted down.

Don’t look at them as princesses, but marriage and fate have no control over them. How many princesses were there in the previous dynasty who could keep their heads up and do whatever they wanted? Most of them are for the hegemony of father and brother, or the prosperity of the mother’s family and marriage, and there are not a few people who go to foreign countries to serve the country.

Now they only want to marry a good man.

After a while, Zhu Chuo’s palace maid arrived with an inconspicuous black lacquer box.

Zhu Yi glanced at it and laughed: “Do you still know padlocks? I thought Princess Rongyu was not afraid of heaven and earth.”

Zhu Chuo was very embarrassed, and mobilized Qi to open his own box.

The two rustled through Zhu Chuo’s collection, making fun of each other while watching. Finally, when Zhu Chuo left, Zhu Yi also picked two books to pass the time.

——

After three days, Zhu Yi felt refreshed, and immediately went to Concubine Tong’s Suyuan Pavilion to say goodbye.

Concubine Tong was taking a selfie in the mirror, and she could see that she was in a good mood. Zhu Yi knew that the emperor was going to rest here last night.

Seeing Zhu Yi, she smiled and said, “Xizhen, you’re here just in time. Quickly help the mother-in-law to see her makeup, and you have to go to the queen to greet her.” The rules in the palace are that on every Monday and Friday, the concubines greet the queen.

Concubine Tong held a sleeping fairy bun, her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and the bright pearl and golden phoenix made a clear sound as she tilted her head.

Zhu Yi took a look and picked out a pair of golden branches inlaid with red treasure Begonia hairpins from the jade plate: “My daughter thinks that Jinbuyao looks a little hot in summer, it’s better to replace it with this one, which is also commensurate with the mother’s concubine’s clothes. ”

Concubine Tong took the hairpin, measured it on her head at will, and looked at Zhu Yi: “Are you afraid that I will dress up too much and steal the queen’s limelight?”

Her niece, whether she is lazy or easy to satisfy, has been in peace since she was a child, and she has never competed with others. But this kind of temperament is not blind to the appearance that God gave her.

Hearing a “snap” sound, Concubine Tong threw the begonia hairpin into the jade plate, and she said lightly, “Xizhen, do you know? This palace is already respected as a concubine, and she is still walking on thin ice like in the past. It’s really tiring.”

Zhu Yi was stunned, she didn’t know Concubine Tong’s hardships over the years. But what about the imperial concubine, even if it is the imperial concubine, as long as the Xie family is there, the harem is still the queen.

Knowing that Concubine Tong was unhappy, Zhu Yi still had to persuade: “The queen is in charge of Fengyin after all, and the Xie family is hot again. For the sake of the seventh brother, the concubine should also avoid the empress’s edge.”

Concubine Tong said: “You are right, everything is for your seventh brother. But among the princes, except for the prince, all of them have been raised as idlers! This is the measure of the queen.”

This is true, her seventh brother Wanqian is ignorant, and it is inevitable that the queen and the prince’s handwriting are indispensable. She used to think that this was fine. If the seventh brother showed great talent, he would inevitably lead to suspicion and disaster. If there is a good or bad day for the father and the emperor, the crown prince’s ascension to the throne is justifiable. She only asked her brother to be a free king safely.

But obviously, Concubine Tong didn’t think so. The other party’s ambition is not satisfied with this.

“My son.” Concubine Tong took Zhu Yi’s hand: “As soon as the concubine arrives on a rainy day, the kneecap still hurts, and I will remember how the queen once treated me. But it’s just me, and your seventh brother. What. Once you are used to loving your seventh brother, you will bear him to be subservient in the future?”

Zhu Yi lowered her head, and she felt uncomfortable, but she was an orphan and was dependent on others, so what could she do.

Concubine Tong said: “The queen is not afraid, isn’t she relying on the Xie family?” She deliberately guided: “It just so happens that Xie Ying lives in the west hall of the Xiuyun Pavilion, opposite your brother. When you go to Ali, you can Talk to Xie Ying.”

Seeing that Zhu Yi didn’t respond, Concubine Tong was angry and said softly, “My son, do you know how diligently Zhu Dai has been running these days? The concubine even let you go, and you are still here. Comparing what?”

Zhu Yi would not say anything about Xie Ying and Zhu Jing, which she promised. She asked, “Does the concubine want me to win Xie Ying’s love and marry him?”

Concubine Tong’s eyes flashed, the emperor meant last night that Xizhen’s concubine was not necessarily Xie Ying. But she said, “Yes.”

Concubine Tong continued: “However, don’t be tempted by Xie Ying, just keep in touch with him. You can give Xie Ying some sweetness, but you must never let him succeed, you know? Men are the best who can’t get it. good.”

When Zhu Yi heard this, she looked at Concubine Tong in disbelief. She didn’t blush, but turned paler. Only then did she understand that Concubine Tong actually wanted her to go to her arms.

Concubine Tong thought to herself, she was still immature, women did not gain power by conquering men, could it be possible that they could still be officials and fight wars by themselves?

“My son, don’t you understand the trend? Ever since the prince’s continuation of the string, he insisted that the girl from the Yongnan Palace be the crown prince, and the relationship between the prince and Xie Ying has been cracked.”

Zhu Yi naturally knew, but she felt that the interest relationship between the prince and Xie Ying was inextricably linked, and it would not be easily broken. Said: “I understand, mother-in-law.”

Only then did Concubine Tong smile: “Okay, the weather is hot, you can go back. Remember to see Ali more.”

——

Zhu Yi appeared at the Xiuyun Pavilion in the afternoon, but she was in a hurry. She sat for a while and walked out, but saw a large group of people approaching in twos and threes.

When the prince saw Zhu Yi, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to her: “Xizhen, come here to find the seventh brother.”

Zhu Yi was taken aback for a moment. The princes were all concentrated in Cangxi Forest, but she did not expect that she would meet so many princes and brothers at once.

All of them were all shirtless, and their hair was not tied with a crown, and their long, half-wet hair was tied back. What is this for?

Zhu Yi’s face was red and his ears turned red, and the prince immediately helped Zhu Yi to block his sight from behind. Zhu Yi really couldn’t see the other brothers, but the prince was close at hand, and the clothes on the other side’s upper body were wet with hair, highlighting the unique lines of the male body.

Zhu Xiuce was walking in the second place, and when he saw Zhu Yi, he also ran over.

Zhu Yi was extremely embarrassed, and stepped back two steps: “I have seen the emperor. I came to find Ali, so I will leave.”

Xie Ying walked slowly at the end, Zhu Xiuli was surrounding Xie Ying’s cousin, his cousin, and Xie Ying suddenly squinted at the front, and said, “Ali, your sister is in front.”

Zhu Xiuli and Zhu Yi were the closest, so he turned his head to look and saw no one, but he was clever, and at a guess, he knew that he was blocked by the prince or Zhu Xiuce.

“Sister—” Zhu Xiuli was only six years old. Although he was a short man, he had the speed of a sky monkey, and rushed to the front while roaring.

“Get out of the way, my sister came to find me!” The prince and Zhu Xiuce were both pushed aside, but no one would care about his short winter melon in public.

Zhu Xiuli took Zhu Yi and left. He raised his head and asked, “Why didn’t you come to see me for so many days?”

Xie Ying followed the two siblings into the courtyard, leaving the prince and Zhu Xiuce behind.

Zhu Yi followed Zhu Xiuli into the house, frowned and asked, “Did you go down the Shenghe River?”

Zhu Xiuli shook his hair: “Sister, it’s so strange that you call it rare. What happened to the man’s house? We are still competing.”

Seeing that Zhu Yi was still frowning, Zhu Xiuli said: “The father said, don’t forget our ancestors, our world was called on horseback, and we were still crossing the Xunshui, and the wind and waves came and went, that’s why we are here. the foundation.” He looked at Zhu Yi and said, “At that time, even your women often went to the river to bathe!”

Look, there are so many high-sounding words, and the last sentence reveals a flaw, that is, it is just a hot day to take a bath in the river. Zhu Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

“Sister, wait for me to change clothes first.”

“Go.” Zhu Yi shook his head.

Zhu Xiuli only changed a pair of trousers and ran out, showing his fair and slender body in front of Zhu Yi, making Zhu Yi’s eyes blind.

Zhu Xiuli pointed to himself with his thumb: “Sister, see clearly, my goal this summer is to drink more water and cultivate a physique like that of cousin Ying! Cousin’s muscles are so beautiful!” Those muscles are not too exaggerated. , and the barriers are clearly defined, really beautiful!

Zhu Yi couldn’t help but slapped him hard: “Hurry up and put on your clothes!”
