The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown

Zhu Yi sat in the carriage returning to the palace, and after a while, Xie Ying also bent over to enter. The carriage was temporarily found outside the temple. It was not too big. The oppressive feeling brought by Xie Ying’s height immediately made the space seem cramped.

Zhu Yi shifted his hips, trying to make room for the opponent. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved her upper body, Xie Ying held her shoulders, and his body immediately leaned towards her.

In the past, Zhu Yi always struggled hard, and she did not consciously earn it at this moment.

But Zhu Yi looked up and saw Xie Ying’s eyes, and she felt the unhappiness in Xie Ying’s heart. She always felt that when she encountered this thing today, it seemed that Xie Ying cared more than she herself. The action of breaking free was stopped.

Seeing Zhu Yi soften, Xie Ying slowly embraced her in his arms. Zhu Yi raised his hand and pressed it to his chest. After a little resistance was useless, he threw his helmet and armor and let him hold her tight.

Zhu Yi felt Xie Ying’s strength today is greater than usual, and strangled her in pain. She pursed her lips without making a sound. Her body quivered quickly, and Xie Ying’s hands wandered around her vest and shoulders, as if trying to embed her into her body.

“Pain…” Zhu Yi finally couldn’t help reminding him.

Xie Ying’s arms and the flesh on his body are too hard. Zhu Yi felt that he should be disgusted, but he didn’t have any strength to rub and caress his body, especially the two legs were abnormally soft, as if they were weaker than before. It’s still weak after being drugged.

When Xie Ying heard her scream in pain, she let go of her a little. Zhu Yi hurriedly lowered her head, and she shamefully felt a sense of pleasure and yearning for Xie Ying that she had never felt before. She realized that she actually didn’t want Xie Ying to let go, but wanted to be held by him all the time. This recognition made her push away the opponent forcefully.

Xie Ying thought that Zhu Yi was frightened because of her. Soon, he became angry with her because of her rudeness, and he also blamed himself a little bit in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Xie Ying said: “Why did the princess be so surprised that I took you away before. In the princess’s heart, I am close to the princess just to take advantage?”

Zhu Yi raised his head: “I didn’t think so.”

“Nothing is fine.” Xie Ying looked at her and said: “Zhu Yi, I don’t want to be close to a girl at will.” Especially girls he shouldn’t mess with.

Zhu Yi is still thinking about what he meant by this. Xie Ying has lowered her head, her lips are about to touch her forehead and said: “Since I treat you like this, I will be responsible to you.”

Zhu Yi’s face flushed, so quickly avoid him. Zhu Yi was already keen, and after comparing it with Wan Hai today, it would be difficult for her to deceive herself and others.

When Wan Hai approached her, the disgusting and scared feeling was like a worm crawling into the clothes. But when Xie Ying approached her, she was more shy.

There will be fear, but it is completely different from the fear of Wan Hai. To Xie Ying, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold her heart under his push, and she was afraid that he would withdraw and leave like the last time. Only then did she realize that she still liked Xie Ying so much…

But how is he responsible? She also learned that the queen hated her so much today. If Xie Ying wanted to marry her, the queen would strongly oppose it. Ju Yi thought nervously.

Xie Ying hugged Zhu Yi with one hand, and Zhu Yi’s face was pressed against Xie Ying’s chest, closing his eyes in his breath.

——

The queen is forty-six years old, and she is only thirty years old. She has a well-maintained face and a lilac-colored smoky satin pinched waist sixteen peony skirt. It is really hard to see that she is standing alone. The son of years. Xie’s family all had a good birth, and the queen was naturally also a beauty. Concubine Tong’s Yan was charming, and the Queen’s Yan was cold and arrogant.

Xie Ying knew well that his aunt was the eyeball of his grandmother when she was a girl in Xie’s family. She was spoiled to do her own way, and her joy, anger, sorrow and joy were all on her face. The Xie family never thought that she still had the life of a queen, because the emperor asked to marry him when he became a prince.

The queen gave birth to the eldest son in the first year of marrying the emperor. This son was very upbeat, and he knew from an early age to protect his mother. The emperor was also arrogant and forbearing to the queen for many reasons due to the Xie family and the prince. Therefore, although the queen has been in the deep palace for decades, her temperament has not changed much since she was a girl.

The queen looked at Xie Ying and told him to sit down. When the maid came to the tea and withdrew, she helped the jade hollow double-money fish-print hairpin on her head, and said in the first sentence: “Aying, you know that, my aunt takes it the most. It is you and the prince, and even Adai will be behind you.”

Xie Ying was silent.

The queen said: “I called you over today to tell you about your marriage. I always hope you can marry A-dai, but it is indeed difficult for you to wait for A-dai to grow up. The Xie family is also waiting for you. Spread the branches and loose the leaves. I mean, should you take a concubine first, or carry a concubine with two bedrooms? Aunt will choose a few good ones for you. Put it in front of Zhu Dai.

She said: “Zhen Xian’an, the servant of the Ministry of Etiquette, also has dealings with you. His eldest daughter, Zhen Xibing, is smart and stunning, and she does not lose to that little fox Meizi. If you are interested, I will summon Miss Zhen to the palace for you to take a look. how?”

Although the queen did not say who Xiaohu Meizi was referring to, both she and Xie Ying knew well.

Xie Ying rubbed the edge of the tea cup with his thumb, his expression difficult to distinguish. He said: “It is enough for the mother to worry about the prince’s backyard. I have my own plans for my marriage. As for Princess Hua Xian, I always treat her as a younger sister. Look for other candidates for the princess.

The queen’s face suddenly changed: “I have my own plan… Let’s listen to my aunt, who are you planning?”

Xie Ying didn’t reply directly, but said: “After Zhu Yi is loyal at any rate, she respects Niang Niang as his mother. Niang Niang’s behavior today is really improper.”

The queen frowned. She was thinking about not having any quarrel with him. She didn’t mention it, but he was better and took the initiative to mention it. Is this asking for an argument for Zhu Yi?

The queen stood up: “Aying, you have grown up, how your aunt treated you, you know in your heart. Your foolish dad, asked Xie Shao to be the county king last time, and my aunt is also against you for your sake. But you, today Against me for an outsider?”

Xie Ying sneered slightly and was about to speak, but the prince strode in. He greeted the queen and looked at Xie Ying and said: “A Ying is really here with her mother. I am looking for you. Zhu Boyu and the others are here again, let’s go. Brothers, they will definitely win away all their babies at the bottom of the box.”

When the queen heard that they were going to Cuju, in front of the prince, she couldn’t discuss previous topics with Xie Ying anymore. After looking at Xie Ying, she said, “Go, go, beware of the heat.”

——

Xie Ying soon discovered that Zhu Yi began to avoid him in the past few days after returning from Dajue Temple. She didn’t even go to Zhu Xiuli’s place, she was always asking the maid to come and call Zhu Xiuli to find her. He asked her again on Zhu Xiuli’s name, and she didn’t come out anymore.

She was very obedient to him that day, and she changed her mind when she returned to the palace. Xie Ying frowned slightly, as he was about to visit the fragrant boudoir at night again, the emperor gave him a chance.

When Xie Ying arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Zhu Yi was also there. Xie Ying did not squint, did not look at Zhu Yi, but only asked the emperor for peace.

The emperor first paid attention to Xie Ying as an elder before saying: “Xizhen is the most filial piety to her emperor’s grandmother. The Bon Festival is approaching, and she will set off to Longguo Temple on behalf of the Queen Mother tomorrow.”

Xie Ying followed the emperor’s words and gave Zhu Yi a natural look. Zhu Yi was guilty of not looking back. She went to Longguo Temple at this time every year, but this year she had the intention of avoiding Xie Ying.

The emperor continued: “Rong Xiao, who used to **** Xizhen, is not in the palace.” He looked at Xie Ying: “How about Shouxu escorting Xizhen to Longguo Temple this time?”

Zhu Yi hurriedly said: “No need!”

The emperor and Xie Ying turned their heads to look at her together. Xie Ying’s gaze made Zhu Yi feel uneasy. She said: “Whether such a trivial matter involves labor, the emperor can appoint a few guards at will.”

The guarding princess was also a serious errand. However, Xie Ying is not an ordinary noble child, calling him the princess’s guard, this is not just a problem of cutting the chicken with a knife, but a suspicion of bending.

The most important thing is that Longguo Temple is the largest royal temple in this dynasty. It is not near the palace, but on the outskirts of Beijing. In previous years, she would usually live in Longguo Temple for more than ten days. After the Bon Festival, she went directly from Longguo. The temple returns to the forbidden city. For such a long period of time, Zhu Yi and Xie Ying are together every day, Zhu Yi feels at a loss even thinking about it.

“This…” The emperor was still hesitating, and Xie Ying had already said calmly: “The minister takes the order.”

After leaving the imperial study room, Xie Ying and Zhu Yi both had to go to bed, and the two of them were naturally going together.

Zhu Yi kept looking at the road ahead, and after Xie Ying walked a distance like this, he looked sideways at Zhu Yi, with some meaningful eyes.

Zhu Yi thought Xie Ying was going to ask her to go alone with him, but Xie Ying just said: “Princess, tomorrow, the minister will pick you up at Shunhemen.”

Zhu Yi nodded.

That night, Zhu Chuo and Zhu Xiuli cried and robbed her in their arms, reluctantly. These two people are used to being so exaggerated, so Zhu Yi couldn’t help but feel sorrow. After all, Zhu Ning is not there, these two are what she cares about most in the palace. Zhu Yi kept comforting them, saying that he could return to the forbidden city to meet in late July, but after speaking, the three of them held their heads and babbled again.

But this matter of the empress dowager’s blessing was proposed by Zhu Yi himself when he was eleven years old in order to get close to the empress dowager. After the first time, it will naturally continue. Otherwise, how can you be sincere.

Concubine Tong was very happy, she was extremely satisfied with the emperor’s arrangements. This time she didn’t even tell Zhu Yi not to be too close to Xie Ying.

Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf. Besides, the princess is different from the daughters of ordinary people. Even if she has lost her virginity and has been married, she is still a princess, representing the heavenly family. Whoever the emperor wants to point out must be welcomed back. Moreover, there are also grandma who are proficient in this way in the palace to marry, and some can be covered on the wedding night.

Concubine Tong thought, even with the worst plan, Xie Ying did not want to marry her after eating Zhu Yi, but as long as Zhu Yi was not pregnant, she was not afraid that Zhu Yi would not be able to find a good husband. And for people like Xie Ying, it is absolutely impossible for a woman who is not his concubine to give birth to his child. Concubine Tong is not worried about this.

Zhu Yi always walked with ease, and the next day he went out with only four ladies of the court, big and small, and two eunuchs.

After exiting the Shunhe Gate, Zhu Yi slowed down. Not far away was a team of young men with strong physiques. They were in the same style of strong navy clothes. Their attire was different from that of the Imperial Forest Army. They should be the guards brought by Xie Ying from Weizhou.

The prince was also there, speaking with Xie Ying on the stone steps.

Zhu Yi stepped forward to ask for peace: “Xizhen has seen the emperor brother.”

Yu Guang of the prince saw Zhu Yi from afar and waited for her to come over. The prince said gently: “Xizhen is the most benevolent and filial. This time I will have to work hard. After some time, the emperor will come to Ryukoku Temple to do his part after he is busy with this urgent matter in his hands.”

Zhu Yi said: “It’s not hard in the temple. The emperor bears heavy responsibilities. Let Xizhen do these things for him.”

Xie Ying silently listened to the two men talking, and saw Zhu Yi’s box slip on the carriage, and said, “Can the princess set off?”

Zhu Yi bid farewell to the prince and went to the first carriage.
