Chapter 4
Zhu Xiuli came out this time and was finally neat.
He was just a talking point, and he came out and said, “Sister, let me tell you, my cousin can live opposite me!” His face was full of admiration.
“Moreover, my cousin is very nice.”
“…” Zhu Yi looked at the child with a complicated expression. From the moment she came in, Zhu Xiuli had mentioned his cousin three times. She never knew that Zhu Xiuli was able to climb relatives like this, but the key was whether they were willing to be his cousin?
Zhu Xiuli came to Rajui: “Go, let’s go find my cousin.”
Zhu Yi didn’t see Xie Ying just now, but she imagined Xie Ying in the prince’s costume, blushing inexplicably. She straightened her face and said: “Don’t always pester the world, it will delay others from doing business.”
“No, my cousin said I’ve been idle lately, let’s go!”
Zhu Xiuli forcefully dragged Zhu Yi to find Xie Ying. The two siblings walked to the porch, but they saw an unexpected little palace lady who suddenly appeared across from him. Behind the palace lady stood Xie Ying’s attendant Shen Xingliu, with a look of impatience.
Zhu Xiuli smiled and said: “Since my cousin lived in Xiuyun Pavilion, there are often palace ladies who accidentally go to the wrong place.” There is no lack of contempt in the words.
The little brother’s unintentional words caused Zhu Yi to stagnate. Zhu Xiuli didn’t know that his sister had to do the same thing, which made her feel ashamed and wronged.
Obviously she had pursued Xie Ying before. Why is it so difficult to take this step now? Zhu Yi thought carefully and finally understood the difference. It used to be because of pure liking, but now it is because of the power of the other party. Naturally there will be a feeling of betraying oneself.
“Sister, what’s the matter with you? Uncomfortable?” Zhu Xiuli tilted his head to look at Zhu Yi.
“No.” Zhu Yi said: “Ali, my sister will come to see you next time. I remember that there is something urgent on my side.”
Regardless of Zhu Xiuli yelling behind, Zhu Yi took the maid and said to leave. Zhu Xiuli was stunned and turned to Xie Ying who didn’t know when to come out: “Hehe, cousin, women are just a lot of things, right?”
——
Zhu Yi used the reason of copying the scriptures for the Queen Mother, except for hurriedly seeing Zhu Xiuli a few times, and did not go out for ten days, until the emperor announced her to go to the Imperial Study Room.
Zhu Yi entered the study, and at a glance saw two men sitting opposite each other by the purple table.
The elders wore the Ming Huang Tuanlong uniforms and had a kind face, which is exactly what they are today.
The young one was wearing a dark purple-bottomed beetle-wrapped brocade robe, with a hosta around his long hair, Xie Ying.
Zhu Yi stepped forward to salute: “Father.”
“Xizhen is here.” The emperor smiled and stood up, pointing to the jade chessboard on the case, and said: “I and Shouxu are playing the endgame of the Jiumu Pu, but he always hides his clumsiness, which prevents me from having fun. You will replace me. Play two games with him.”
Zhu Yi blinked, she was not good at chess, she was not far behind the emperor, let her play against Xie Ying? Replied: “Yes.”
An **** immediately set up another seat for the emperor. Xie Ying stood up and waited for the emperor to sit down before taking a seat with Zhu Yi.
The nine-wood chess game coincides with the method of arranging troops. Zhu Yiluozi is very cautious. After more than ten children, her eyebrows frown, and Heizi pauses on the tip of the snowy bamboo shoots, and her little fingers curled unconsciously, becoming more and more serious. That hand is so soft and cute.
Xie Ying kept looking at the hanging hand.
Suddenly, the emperor started to give Ju Yi. Watching chess without saying a word, the father always pays attention to this, what is going on today. Zhu Yi is nervous, always feel that something will happen.
Sure enough, the emperor sighed slightly: “My nephew Shouxu came to ask to resign back to Weizhou early in the morning. I really feel sad.”
Zhu Yi had a meal, Xie Ying was leaving soon like this? However, the princes were all earth emperors, and Xie Ying had no idea how unrestrained he was in Weizhou. Compared to being restrained in Beijing, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The emperor said again: “It is rare for Shouxu to return to Beijing, so it is better to stay. You have helped your father manage Weizhou very well. I hope you will discuss with the prince more. The queen always wants you to accompany her more. In addition, after half a year, all the feudal clans meet in court, and you will always have to enter Beijing again, saving you the long journey.”
The room was so quiet that the needle fell, and Zhu Yi’s heartbeat increased. The emperor’s words made sense. He kept putting gold and family cards on Xie Ying’s face, but in essence, he just didn’t want to show Xie Ying back to Weizhou. . This is not a matter of asking the other party to be a hostage in Beijing, at least it is a beating on the Xie family.
However, Xie Ying was arrogant and arrogant, and always cunning. With the current military might of the Xie family, how could he easily submit to it, and would arrange a reasonable reason to refuse.
Zhu Yi couldn’t help but glanced at Xie Ying, wanting to see his expression at the moment.
Xie Ying’s Yu Guang naturally noticed Zhu Yi’s small actions. He didn’t find any excuses to push back. He deserved it very naturally: “The emperor said it was very true. The minister has not considered it well, and the minister has followed the order.”
The emperor’s frown opened slowly. When Xie Ying was silent, there was a mountainous momentum on his body, which made him almost forget that he was facing a junior in his early twenties. He knows very well that this son will be the backbone of the country, and it will also be a confidant.
Zhu Yicai was uneasy about returning from the emperor, and Concubine Tong sent someone to let her go.
Concubine Tong retired from the palace, did not ask Zhu Yi to sit for the first time, did not even look at her, only played with her newly dyed nails.
She said after a while: “Xizhen, I heard that you recently went to see A Li and never stepped into Xie Ying’s room.”
When Zhu Yi heard it, he knew that someone around Zhu Xiuli was staring at her.
She uttered the prepared remarks: “Mother concubine, the eldest son does not give her daughter a chance…”
Concubine Tong sneered and interrupted her: “You have learned how to treat me with yang and yin.”
Ju Yi’s smile faded. Concubine Tong said: “Do you think that to attract men by color is something lowly women do. You even think that your mother and concubine are also Israel’s servants, and the queen is inferior to the queen.” In private, the emperor gave her the nickname “Peach Blossom Lady”.
Zhu Yi hurriedly said: “Why does my daughter think of her mother and concubine like this? The concubine is the most respected person by my daughter. If there is no concubine, how can my seventh brother and I grow up safely.” She naturally has admiration for Concubine Tong.
Concubine Tong Gui smiled: “It sounds good.” She waved her hand: “Go down. I’m tired.”
Zhu Yi stood where she was, Concubine Tong said twice before she finally turned around.
“I’m really disappointed.” Concubine Tong suddenly faintly spit out a few words, which made Zhu Yi’s leaving figure froze.
Then she heard Concubine Tong’s sigh: “It seems like raising a daughter with hard work. 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 marry and be a princess, and they won’t suffer from the mistress’s consultation like I did. It will be a good life by yourself, who will care if I and Ali will be in this palace from now on. It’s death or life. I’m so stupid, thinking she would be a gracious retribution, but she only cares about her. Some people will not use it for me in the future, only if there is no mother as me, and no brother as Ali. stop.”
Concubine Tong spoke slowly, word by word, as sharp as the tip of a knife. Zhu Yi’s hands on both sides of her body shook violently, and she left quickly when she heard the sound completely silent behind her.
Early the next morning, Mian Feng took a pile of gold-inlaid pink coral inverted pipa hairpins from Tanzhen, and inserted them diagonally into Zhu Yi’s single snail bun: “The princess did not sleep well last night.”
Without reminding the wind, Zhu Yi also saw the faint blue shadow under the eyes of the person in the mirror. Her skin was as clear as snow, and the slightest traces were especially obvious.
Zhu Yi looked at himself in the mirror. Her fortune is not as sharp as Xie Ying’s sideburns, and she has a beautiful tip, and she is not as round and distinct as Zhu Chuo. The line is round and beautiful, but with fine hairs, soft and slightly curled. , And never stay for long. The photo book that Zhu Yi turned over said that her hairline represents a shallow relationship with her parents.
When Xie Ying saw Zhu Yi who appeared outside his door, he was a little surprised.
“Shizi.” Zhu Yi raised his hand and put aside his ears: “Can I go in and talk?”
Xie Ying knew that this was a movement that Zhu Yi would only have when he was nervous. He turned sideways to let Zhu Yi go first: “Princess, please come in.”
Since it’s here, Zhu Yi won’t twitch. When they arrived in the room where only the two of them were alone, Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying’s shoulder and said, “That night, on the day that Shizi sent me back to Yuewang Pavilion, my eardrops fell. I wonder if Shizi picked them up?”
Zhu Yi is clever since he was a kid, and he is also very skillful in these words. The girl’s eardrops fell off. Why would a man pick it up, and keep it in private after picking it up? It is obviously intended for the girl. If Xie Ying’s answer is found, he is willing to respond to her. If Xie Ying answered that he didn’t see it, he wouldn’t hurt each other’s face.
Xie Ying’s lips slowly curled up, but his eyes were dark and unclear. Zhu Yi had deliberately kept a distance from him before, very far away. This quickly changed his attitude. Concubine Tong can’t wait to put pressure on her?
After all, he still fell in love with what he was holding.
Seeing that Xie Ying kept not answering, Zhu Yi was really suffering, and finally couldn’t help but said: “I don’t care if you don’t see it, I’ll look for it elsewhere.”
“The princess stayed.” Xie Ying’s voice was low, and Zhu Yi gave birth to an unprecedented sense of danger.
He fixed his eyes on her: “If I said that 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 is the name of King Yong Nan.
Zhu Yi’s face turned pale: “I don’t understand the meaning of the son.” She turned and left.
Where did Xie Ying allow Zhu Yi to go, he easily blocked her between himself and the book case. His gaze swept down from the ground, from Zhu Yi’s face to the clavicle socket, and then continued down, deliberately turning around there.
Xie Ying really had a beautiful and picturesque appearance, and his black eyes were as deep as night, and one glance at a girl could attract people to be moths. Otherwise, Zhu Yi would not be fainted at the time. Fortunately, he doesn’t like to look around, and he is 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? You let go!”
Xie Ying sneered, and really let go: “I can’t even take a look, the princess still learns from others to provoke men?”
Zhu Yi was angry, embarrassed and anxious, and was speechless.
Xie Ying brought back Zhu Yi, who was taking a step forward, and her voice finally became softer: “Why do you only know to run? What should you do if you leave now? Concubine Tong will force you before she finds a satisfactory candidate.”
Zhu Yi didn’t want to run anymore, she knew now, she told Xie Ying to let him go, but as soon as she ran, he would carry her back like a chicken. She had to ask again: “Have you picked up my eardrop?”
Xie Ying stared at Zhu Yi’s turn left and right, but didn’t look at his face, and slowly said: “The princess has spoken this way, how can I let you down.”
