The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown

Xie Ying bought a rabbit lamp for Zhu Yi. The size of the three fists stacked up is not a valuable thing, but it is also exquisitely made. Zhu Yi especially likes it.

She put the candle-extinguished lamp on the window lattice, lying on the bed, she couldn’t help but tilt her head to look at the white rabbit in the moonlight.

Zhu Yi thought, Xie Ying doesn’t know what he is doing now, is he asleep? Do you think about her too? She soon felt that she was wicked again. She was still thinking about a man at night, and she took care of him. Zhu Yi pulled up a thin silk to cover her face, blocking the flushed face that no one would have seen.

She was concealed in the silk quilt but couldn’t help thinking again, but Xie Ying was sometimes very considerate. The silk quilt and the flower tea pillow were Zhu Yi’s own things. She forgot to bring them when she rode into Beijing, but Xie Ying was called Mian. Feng found out and helped her carry it.

On the second day, the prince called the painting boats in the palace. In the afternoon, he called Zhu Yi, Xie Ying, Yan Yuer, and Zhu Zhenan. There were also some clan children, young nobles, and some with family members.

This is the only three-story painting boat in Beijing. It is magnificent and wide, showing the style of the heavens. In the evening, watching the night scenes on both sides of the strait is not to mention more pleasant. The other ships on Dan River knew that they came out of the palace at a glance, so they avoided it from a distance.

The female relatives are arranged on the third floor. The prince specifically said to Zhu Yi: “Xizhen, you will be responsible for entertaining the female family members.” Zhu Yi naturally answered yes. Tomorrow, she will go to Longguo Temple to eat and eat and recite the Buddha. She is also very happy to be able to take a boat ride in the river tonight.

Xie Ying stopped Zhu Yi who was about to go upstairs, and said in a low voice: “The princess can’t drink anymore at night.”

Zhu Yi glanced at him quickly: “I see.”

As soon as I arrived on the third floor, Yan Yuer stopped Zhu Yi and said: “Princess, we had some misunderstandings when we first met, but we didn’t expect that it was our own family. I felt very uncomfortable last night, I hope the princess Don’t feel bad about me.”

Zhu Yi looked at each other in surprise. Yan Yuer was originally a guest from afar, and she was younger than her. No matter what Zhu Yi thought in her heart, she had to comfort her at this time: “Whatever He Jia said, the past will be over. How can I have any trouble with you? Don’t be too disgusted with feelings.”

Yan Yuer smiled and said: “Then I can rest assured! The princess calls me Yuer, everyone calls me Yuer, you call me and Jia, I don’t know who it is.”

Zhu Yi also smiled and said, “Okay, Yuer.”

Yan Yu’er said again: “Then I call the princess sister okay?” Zhu Yi naturally responded.

Yan Yuer surrounded her sister Zhu Yixizhen, and her sister Xizhen kept talking short. She even brought the seal of the Fang Baiyu Maoer, and said that she would give it to Zhu Yi as an apologetic. Zhu Yi hurriedly said that she just wanted to see it at the time. If it weren’t for the bad impression of the first meeting, anyone would like Yan Yuer, a lively and lovely girl.

During dinner, all the female family members followed their husbands. After everyone had dinner, Zhu Yi watched Yan Yuer and talked, saying that Jingzhou faces the sea to the east, and Jinghai Palace is in the north with the Liaoxi army. Tatar, who is responsible for expelling pirates in the east, is full of pride in his words and demeanor.

Yan Yuer has two patrons, the Queen Mother and Jinghai King. Even if the girls do not deliberately greet her, they will give her face at this time, so they will listen to her attentively and ask about Jingzhou’s customs. Besides, Yan Yuer did speak fresh, the magnificent waves of the sea and the colorful underwater colors, which of the noble ladies here has seen, Zhu Yi also listened leisurely and fascinated.

Yan Yuer finished talking about the pearl culture of Jingzhou, and said to Zhu Yi: “Sister, do you think this pink pearl on my head looks good?”

The pearls embedded on Yan Yuer’s hairpin are not ordinary pale pink, but rare cherry blossom powder, round and flawless, with excellent skin shine. Zhu Yi praised it truthfully: “It looks good.”

Yan Yuer smiled and said: “This is my brother once brought me back from the sea. But the rarer one is the thick golden pearl. After half a year, my brother will also enter Beijing, and I will write a letter to let him be sure. Bring a big golden bead and give it to my sister.”

Zhu Yi smiled, Yan Yu’er was indeed living her own way, but how could she privately accept something from a man she didn’t know. What’s more, there are also in the Jinzhu Palace of Jingzhou, but they are indeed scarce, and because they are more suitable for mature women to wear, they are all close to the queen mother and concubines first, and the princesses don’t have it. Zhu Yi politely declined.

Yan Yuer said, “In short, it’s settled!”

Zhu Yi didn’t bother to fight with her anymore, she didn’t want it then.

The women ordered the wine order, and Zhu Yi remembered that Wen Yan told her to go to the second floor. On the second floor are several guest rooms for a little rest. When Zhu Yi went there, Xie Ying pulled into one of them.

Xie Ying’s alcohol was heavier than before. Zhu Yi gently shook his hand to dissipate the alcohol, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: “You told me not to drink and drink so much by myself? It depends on how you get back later.”

Xie Ying smiled and said, “No matter how much I drink, I’ll be sober.” He said, bowing his head and pecking at Zhu Yi’s cheek. Zhu Yi is now particularly afraid of getting close to Xie Ying, because he was so confused yesterday that she acted like that without being shy, so he quickly pushed him and deliberately said: “Smelly!”

Xie Ying smiled even harder: “I didn’t dislike the princess’s smell of alcohol last night. The princess disliked me today?” Then he asked, “Why did you come down so long after calling you?”

“I heard Yan Yu’er talk about the scenery of Jingzhou, so I didn’t want to leave for a while.” Zhu Yi then blurted out: “I really want to see Jingzhou, is the sea really beautiful?” Then he said: “I also want to see Rongfeng, Yunnan. Look, listen to Rong Xiao said, there is the most beautiful sea of ​​rhododendrons there.”

Rongfeng is the place where Pei Qing asked to be martyred. Xie Ying gently stroked Zhu Yi’s back, took her into her arms, and said, “I will take the princess in the future.”

“Um?”

“It doesn’t matter if you look at the sea, you can also see the cuckoos, as well as the snow peaks of Nanling, the grasslands and deserts, and even go out of Longxi to the Western Regions. As long as the princess wants to go, I can accompany you.”

Zhu Yi imagined the scroll Xie Ying painted for her. She grew up in the palace. Even though she had fantasies, a woman who had not spent her life in a deep house compound heard an unreal sense of illusion and asked: “Really?”

Xie Ying gave a soft hum.

Regardless of whether Xie Ying said casually after drinking or not, Zhu Yi was willing to believe at this moment. She obediently leaned on his chest for a while before saying: “I have to go up, the emperor asked me to greet everyone.”

Zhu Yi went back to the third floor and chatted with everyone for a while. The river bank that the boat passed by happened to be the water heart pavilion like a dragon palace. Everyone was watching the water heart pavilion at night. A maid came to Zhu Yi and said that the prince asked her to go there. building.

Seeing that the prince had obviously drank a lot, Zhu Yi said, “What’s wrong with the emperor?” The prince asked, “Xizhen, are all upstairs okay?” Zhu Yi nodded, and the prince asked a few more casually. Let her go up.

When Zhu Yi passed the corridor on the second floor, he suddenly heard a female voice: “Ah, slow down…” Then he whimpered.

The lingering and feeble soft voice reminded Zhu Yi of her tone of voice when she spoke to Xie Ying last night. The people in this room are afraid that they are also doing shy things. Zhu Yi is a little open, and his cheeks are red and ready to speed up and leave. Really, there was no one when she got down, and she bumped into her when she came back.

“The concubine saw you last night… um… with that girl, buying lanterns in Sanhe.”

This sentence instantly caused Zhu Yi’s body to stop, and she backed back, wanting to listen to it again.

Zhu Yi was anxious when the woman was speaking, and after a while she finished speaking intermittently: “Please don’t let me leave you, I will stand by myself.”

But the man hadn’t spoken, and even if Zhu Yi slid his ear to the door, he could only hear the man’s vague and heavy breathing. It was impossible to tell the man’s identity from this voice.

Zhu Yi thought, maybe it was a coincidence? Did someone buy lanterns in Sanhe yesterday? Just about to leave, the woman inside called out again: “Master Xie…”

These three words made Zhu Yi’s mind bang for a while, she stared at the door in front of her without blinking, her warm expression also changed, looked at Zhu Yi, and then at the door.

Zhu Yi raised her hand to push the door, but finally retracted. She went down the first floor and just hit the prince who was talking to the other person. She almost fell down due to the force she brought to the other party. Both Wen Yan and the prince held hands at the same time. she. The prince looked at Zhu Yi’s pale face, both distressed and comforting: “What is Xizhen doing in such a hurry?”

Zhu Yi asked, “Emperor brother, where is the eldest son?”

The prince said, “I haven’t seen Ah Ying for a while. He is not on the first floor. Could it be that he drank too much and rested upstairs?”

After Zhu Yi heard this, he still looked into the lobby on the first floor. The prince said, “Is there something urgent for Xizhen? I must look for A Ying?” Zhu Yi did not speak, but the prince said: “Then I’ll go ahead and help you. “After a while, the prince came back and said, “Aying is not down here. I also looked at the outside of the cabin. It must have been lazy on the second floor.”

Seeing that Zhu Yi was still silent, the prince solemnly said: “Xizhen, what happened?”

Zhu Yi replied, “No, then I will go up first.”

The prince looked at Zhu Yi’s back. He also knew that if it was so easy to get Xie Yingzhong into a drug, an aphrodisiac, etc., then Xie Ying would have died many times long ago. The prince did not hope that Xie Ying could go to battle in person. But he was still not reconciled. He could only hope that Zhu Yi had no experience in this area. After all, the authorities are fascinated, what if Juyi believes it.

Zhu Yi went up to the second floor. The sound in the room was gone. Zhu Yi thought for a while, but tried to push the door, but the door was not locked. When Zhu Yi walked in, there was no man in the room. A woman was weakly leaning on the head of the bed. The half-covered gauze was covered with green and red traces, so pitiful.

Yiyi slowly turned his head to look at Zhu Yi. Yiyi knew that she was defiled by others, and the son wouldn’t want her again. When she saw Ju Yi, she still didn’t understand, she was treated as a substitute.

The handsome boy brother that the boy said did not show up, so he found another strong man with a shameless appearance… it was just for the girl in front of him. When the girl left, the man also resisted and stopped and went out. The son is willing to bother for the girl in front of him. The look in the girl’s eyes was like a pretty girl, no wonder the son was confident to mislead her.
