The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 4

[Chapter 4]

Zhu Xiuli finally came out in order.

He was just a chatterbox, and he came out and said, “Sister, let me tell you, cousin can live across from me!” His face was full of admiration.

“Also, my cousin is very nice.”

“…” Zhu Yi looked at the child with a complicated expression. Since she came in, Zhu Xiuli had mentioned his cousin three times. She never knew that Zhu Xiuli could climb relatives like this, the key was whether they would be willing to be his cousin?

Zhu Xiuli came to Rajue: “Let’s go, let’s go and play with my cousin.”

Zhu Yi didn’t see Xie Ying just now, but she imagined Xie Ying according to the prince’s attire, and blushed inexplicably. She raised her face and said, “Don’t always pester the prince, it will delay others from doing business.”

“No, my cousin said that he has been idle recently, so let’s go!”

Zhu Xiuli forcefully dragged Zhu Yi to find Xie Ying. The sister and brother walked to the porch, but suddenly saw a young palace maid across from him. Behind the palace maid stood Xie Ying’s attendant, Shen Xingliu, with a look of impatience.

Zhu Xiuli laughed and said, “Since my cousin lived in Xiuyun Pavilion, there are often palace maids who accidentally went to the wrong place.” There was no lack of contempt in the words.

The unintentional words of the younger brother made Zhu Yi stagnate, and Zhu Xiuli didn’t know that his sister was going to do the same thing, which made her feel ashamed and wronged.

She had clearly pursued Xie Ying before, why is it so difficult to take this step now, Zhu Yi thought about it carefully, and finally understood the difference. It used to be because of pure love, but now it is because of the power of the other party. Naturally there will be a feeling of betrayal.

“Sister, what’s the matter with you? Not feeling well?” Zhu Xiuli tilted his head to look at Zhu Yi.

“No.” Zhu Yi said, “Ali, next time my sister comes to see you, I remember that there is something urgent on my side.”

Regardless of Zhu Xiuli’s shouting from behind, Zhu Yi took the palace maid and left. Zhu Xiuli turned to Xie Ying, who didn’t know when he came out: “Hehe, cousin, women have a lot of things, right?”

——

Taking advantage of the pretext of copying scriptures for the Queen Mother, Zhu Yi did not go out for more than ten days, except to see Zhu Xiuli a few times, until the emperor announced her to go to the imperial study.

Zhu Yi entered the study and saw two men sitting opposite Zi’s desk at a glance.

The older man was dressed in a bright yellow Tuanlong uniform, and his face was kind, just like today’s son.

The young one, who was wearing a dark purple robe wrapped around a cloud, and holding his long hair with a hosta, was Xie Ying.

Zhu Yi stepped forward and saluted: “Father.”

“Xizhen is here.” The emperor got up with a smile, pointed to the jade chessboard on the case, and said: “I and Shouxu are playing the endgame of Jiumu Pu, but he always hides his clumsiness, which makes me unable to enjoy myself. Come and replace me. Two rounds with him.”

Zhu Yi blinked, her chess skills were not good, how far behind the emperor, let her play against Xie Ying? He replied, “Yes.”

Immediately, the eunuch set up another seat for the emperor. Xie Ying stood up and waited for the emperor to sit down before sitting down with Zhu Yi.

The Jiumupu chess game coincides with the method of arranging pawns. Zhu Yi is very cautious in making her moves. After more than ten moves, her eyebrows are raised. The hand is so soft and lovely.

Xie Ying kept looking at the hanging hand.

The emperor suddenly started pointing at Zhu Yi. Looking at the chess without saying a word, the father has always paid attention to this, what is going on today. Zhu Yi was apprehensive, always feeling that something would happen.

Sure enough, the emperor sighed softly: “My nephew Shou Xu came to resign early in the morning to resign and return to Weizhou, I really feel reluctant to part.”

Zhu Yi’s next meal, Xie Ying is leaving so soon? However, the vassal kings were all local emperors, and Xie Ying had an unrestrained life in Weizhou. Compared with being restrained in Beijing, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The emperor said again: “It’s rare for Shou Xu to return to the capital, so it’s better to stay. You helped your father to manage Weizhou very well. I hope you will discuss with the prince more. The queen is always talking about wanting you to accompany her more. Furthermore, after half a year, the vassals will meet at the court, and you will have to enter the capital again, and save the long journey.”

The room was so silent that the sound of needles falling, Zhu Yi’s heartbeat increased, the emperor’s words were reasonable, he kept putting gold on Xie Ying’s face and playing family cards, but in essence, he just didn’t want to let Xie Ying go back to Weizhou . Even if this is not to say that the other party is in Beijing as a pledge, at least it is a beating of the Xie family.

But Xie Ying is arrogant and conceited, and has always been cunning. With the military power of the Xie family, how could he easily give in, and he would arrange a proper reason to refuse.

Zhu Yi couldn’t help but glanced at Xie Ying, wanting to see his expression at the moment.

Xie Ying’s Yuguang naturally noticed Zhu Yi’s small movements. He didn’t make excuses to refute it. It should be natural: “What the emperor said is very true.

The emperor’s folded brows slowly opened, and when Xie Ying was silent, there was a mountain-like presence on his body, which made him almost forget that he was facing a younger generation in his early twenties. He knew very well that this son would be the backbone of the country, and he was also a big worry for his confidants.

Zhu Yicai came back from the emperor in a restless mood, and Concubine Tong sent someone to let her go.

Concubine Tong expelled the people from the palace, the first time she didn’t ask Zhu Yi to sit down, she didn’t even look at her, she just played with her newly dyed nails.

She said after a while: “Xizhen, I heard that you went to see A Li recently, and you never stepped into Xie Ying’s house.”

As soon as Zhu Yi heard it, she knew that someone around Zhu Xiuli was staring at her.

She said the prepared remarks: “Mother concubine, the prince will not give his daughter a chance…”

Concubine Tong sneered and interrupted her: “You have learned to treat me with yang and yin.”

Jue’s smile faded. Concubine Tong said: “Do you think that attracting men by color is something that lowly women do? You even think that your mother and concubine, I am also a servant of Israel, and inferior to the queen.” Concubine Tong is favored by her charm. In private, the emperor gave her the nickname “Peach Blossom”.

Zhu Yi hurriedly said, “How could my daughter think of her mother-in-law like this? A mother-in-law is the person she respects the most. If there is no mother-in-law, how could my seventh brother and I grow up safely.”

Concubine Tong smiled: “It sounds very nice.” She waved her hand: “Go down. I’m tired.”

Zhu Yi stood where she was, and Concubine Tong continued to speak twice before she finally turned around.

“I’m really disappointed.” Concubine Tong suddenly spit out a few words, making Zhu Yi’s figure froze as she left.

Then she heard Concubine Tong’s sigh: “It seems to be in vain to raise a big daughter. I have to take care of everything by myself, and I have to be a bad person. She deserves to be precious alone.”

She paused for a moment: “Yes, people will soon be able to marry and be a princess, and they will not be scolded by the mistress like me. I will do it if I live well, who cares if I and Ali will be in this palace in the future. It’s life or death. I’m really stupid, I thought she would be a gracious person, but she only cares about herself. Some people don’t use me anymore, they just think that there is no mother like me and no brother Ali like this. stop.”

Concubine Tong spoke slowly, word by word, as sharp as the tip of a knife, Zhu Yi’s hands that fell on both sides of her body trembled violently, she heard complete silence behind her, and she left quickly.

Early the next morning, Mianfeng took a gold-inlaid pink coral upside-down pipa hairpin from Tanxi, and inserted it obliquely into Zhu Yi’s single conch bun: “Princess didn’t sleep well last night.”

Without Mianfeng’s reminder, Zhu Yi also saw the faint blue shadow under the person in the mirror. Her skin was as clear as snow, and the slightest traces were very obvious.

Zhu Yi looked at himself in the mirror. Her hair is not as sharp as Xie Ying’s haircut, and she has a beautiful tip, not as round and distinct as Zhu Chuo’s. The round line is beautiful, but it has fine fluff, soft and slightly curly. , never last long. The photo book that Zhu Yi turned over said that her hairline represented a shallow relationship with her parents.

When Xie Ying saw Zhu Yi who appeared outside his door, he was a little surprised.

“Sir.” Zhu Yi raised her hand and said, “Can I go in and talk?”

Xie Ying knew that this was what Zhu Yi would do when he was nervous, so he turned sideways and let Zhu Yi go first: “Princess, please come in.”

Now that he’s here, Zhu Yi won’t be twitching. When they reached the room with only the two of them, Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying’s shoulder and said, “That night, on the day the prince sent me back to Yuewang Pavilion, my earring fell. I wonder if the prince found it?”

Zhu Yi has been smart since he was a child, and he is also skillful in trying these words. The girl’s earring fell off, why would a man pick it up and keep it in private after picking it up? It’s obviously intentional for the girl. If Xie Ying answered that she found it, she would be willing to respond to her. If Xie Ying replied that they didn’t see it, it would not hurt each other’s face.

Xie Ying’s lips slowly twitched, but his eyes were dark. Zhu Yi had deliberately kept a distance from him before, very alienated. This soon changed his attitude. Concubine Tong can’t wait to put pressure on her?

After all, he still looked at what was in his hand.

Seeing that Xie Ying didn’t answer, Zhu Yi was really tormented, and finally couldn’t help saying: “It’s fine if the prince doesn’t see it, I’ll look elsewhere.”

“Princess stay.” Xie Ying’s voice was low, making Zhu Yi feel an unprecedented sense of danger.

He fixedly stared at her: “If I said I didn’t find your earrings, are you going to keep this question for half a year and continue to ask Ruan Yu and others?” Ruan Yu was the name given to King Yongnan.

Zhu Yi’s face turned pale: “I don’t understand what the prince means.” She turned and left.

Where did Xie Ying allow Zhu Yi to go, he easily blocked her between himself and the desk, and his eyes swept down from Zhu Yi’s face, to the collarbone socket, and then continued down, intentionally circling there.

Xie Yingzhen gave birth to a handsome and picturesque skin, with dark eyes as deep as night, and a glance at any girl can attract people to be moths to flames. Otherwise, Zhu Yi wouldn’t have been dazed at the time. Fortunately, he didn’t like to glance around, and was very cold most of the time.

So when Xie Ying actually looked at her like this, Zhu Yi was stunned: “What are you looking at? Get out of the way!”

Xie Ying sneered, but she stepped aside: “I can’t even take a look, the princess still learns from others to provoke men?”

Zhu Yi was angry, ashamed, and anxious, and her heart was so angry that she was speechless.

Xie Ying brought back Zhu Yi, who had taken a step, and her voice finally softened: “Why do you only know how to run? What if you leave now? Concubine Tong will force you until she finds a satisfactory candidate.”

Zhu Yi didn’t want to run anymore, she knew now, she told Xie Ying to let him go and he would let go, but as soon as she ran, he would carry her back like a chicken. She had to ask again: “Then did you find my earrings?”

Xie Ying stared at Zhu Yi’s turn left and right, but didn’t look at his face, and said slowly: “The princess has already said this, how can I disappoint you.”
