Chapter 35
When Zhu Yi received his sword, he was panting with exhaustion and his face was flushed.
And Xie Ying had already entered the house for tea.
Zhu Yi is particularly keen on Xie Ying’s words and deeds. Xie Ying only gave her a few words in the middle, and left her alone. And she practiced so hard, he didn’t have a word of encouragement. She realized something was wrong.
“Xie Ying, how do you think I have learned?” Zhu Yi drew up to Xie Ying, his eyes filled with praise.
Xie Ying said, “Yes. The princess is talented.”
“Really?” Zhu Yi smiled, and deliberately pounded his arm lightly, and said softly: “My hands are sore after practice.”
Xie Ying only looked at her own tea cup: “Sour is normal. It shows that the princess has practiced too little and needs to work harder.”
“…” Zhu Yi’s mouth finally pursed, what does he mean? Think about it again and say: “The arm is really sore, if someone squeezed it for help.” This suggestion is straightforward enough.
Xie Ying looked up at Zhu Yi. After all, she was still reluctant to be angry with her for too long. He sat down on the stone bench next to her, and really pulled her arm and pinched it from bottom to top.
Zhu Yi enjoys the only service in the world. The corners of her mouth just turned up, and she whispered in pain. She stared at Xie Ying: “What are you doing so hard? You don’t know how strong your hands are?”
“…The minister is lighter.” Xie Ying didn’t mean it, but was distracted.
“I don’t want to press it anymore, you let go. I want to go back to the palace, you quickly send me back.” Zhu Yi brushed Xie Ying’s hand, it was he who insisted on her leaving the palace, but he ignored her again.
Not only did Xie Ying not let go, he also hugged Zhu Yi to the couch. He lightly held Zhu Yi, who was thinking of getting up, and said, “The minister should pinch Zhu Yi to the princess this time.” But instead of squeezing Zhu Yi’s arm, he held Zhu Yi’s. foot. Suddenly, the tingling sensation rose from Zhu Yi’s feet and calves, and she did not know what acupuncture points Xie Ying stimulated, which made her feel a little drowsy.
While floating in the clouds, Zhu Yi heard the man say: “Yi Yi, leave you to me, okay?”
Zhu Yi was half awake from sleep, and then said: “Didn’t I hand it over to you?”
Xie Ying leaned down to look at her, her eyes smiling, but aggressive: “It’s all for me.”
Zhu Yi blushed and reacted to the meaning of these words. She quickly understood that she should do what Concubine Tong had prepared to give her that day. She is also not hypocritical, knowing that what she and Xie Ying did was beyond the etiquette system, but-“But I’m scared, and I won’t either.”
Xie Ying dialed the ankle ring he put on Zhu Yi: “Princess don’t be afraid. You don’t have to do anything, just leave it to the minister.” Then he said, “Don’t worry about getting pregnant. I ordered the person to live in Weizhou. The medicine to avoid seeds has been sent to Beijing.” The medicine did little harm to the body.
Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying with a complicated look. He actually asked someone to make a special trip from Weizhou to send medicine to Beijing. It seems that he has been planning for a long time.
Xie Ying was amused by Zhu Yi’s eyes and stroked Zhu Yi’s hair sideburns. He was prepared to endure it when he entered Beijing, but now he can’t help it, and doesn’t want to endure it anymore. He found that the man left more traces beside Juey than he expected.
“Yiyi, let’s try. If you are still scared by then, I will stop, okay?”
As Xie Ying spoke, she leaned forward and squeezed into Zhu Yi’s legs. As soon as he covered the girl, Zhu Yi was shaken by the already powerful behemoth. She desperately avoided the iron-like thing. Said: “Stop, stop.” Seeing Xie Ying’s motionlessness, she pushed him and said, “Didn’t you say, stop if I’m afraid?”
Xie Ying turned to leave, Zhu Yi immediately retracted his feet and went into the bed.
Xie Ying saw Zhu Yi crawling across the brocade with his hands and feet. He raised his hips to face him during the crawling process. Finally, he sat with his back against the wall and looked at him nervously, her long eyelashes trembling like a fan. Non-stop.
“Xie Ying, okay next time? I came out tonight and told Mianfeng and the others that I was going to find A Chuo. The sword practice was delayed for too long, and I was afraid that my mother and concubine would find me in case.”
Xie Ying knew that it was because Zhu Yi was afraid, so she didn’t force her, but only planned to let her escape for the last time, so she asked, “When is next time?”
Zhu Yi thought for a while: “At the end of this month is A Ning’s birthday, I will go to the princess mansion to celebrate her birthday.”
Xie Ying said: “Okay.”
September 29th is Zhu Ning’s birthday. Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo naturally asked the emperor to go to the princess mansion to celebrate the eldest sister, and stay with the eldest sister for two days. The emperor agreed, but this time he didn’t appoint Xie Ying to protect him, but instead pointed to Rong Xiao.
On the birthday, Zhu Dai and Yan Yuer also asked to go. The emperor agreed.
Xie Ying arrived with Han Yunrong in the evening. Entering the backyard, I saw Zhu Yi under the red maple tree in the corner.
There is a grill standing under the tree, and the two sisters Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo are trying to bake something to eat. Zhu Yi was staring at the fish on the shelf, her face flushed with the fire. She thought in her heart, how can the palace do this, the eldest sister is so happy, Rong Ting will leave everything to her.
When Zhu Yi saw Xie Ying, he withdrew his gaze at a glance, and then handed a bunch of Kunlun melons to Rong Xiao. Rong Xiao was slightly startled, and immediately took it over to eat.
Zhu Yi asked: “Is it delicious?” Rong Xiao said, “It was delicious.” Zhu Yi then handed Zhu Chuo another fish, but did not look at Xie Ying again or speak to him.
Xie Ying stared at Zhu Yi for a while, silently keeping her eyes away.
Han Yunrong looked at Zhu Chuo, who was taking care of himself and gnawing fish. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, “Shizi, let’s go ahead.” Xie Ying replied, and the two left.
Yan Yuer and Zhu Dai looked at each other, Yan Yuer did not show up, and Zhu Dai grinned.
Rong Ting soon came out and said, “There are no outsiders here, they are A Ning’s sisters and my brothers. Let’s all sit in, the male guests are in the main hall, and the female guests are in the east room.” Although Han Yunrong was not invited by him, But Xie Ying’s friends are his friends.
At the female guest’s side, everyone toasted Zhu Ning’s wine together. Zhu Chuo still scented Zhu Ning’s face twice, and Zhu Ning smiled more and more joyously.
After sitting down again, Zhu Chuo poured himself some wine, glass by glass. She didn’t think that Han Yunrong would come unexpectedly, and she was in a bad mood for the most part. Zhu Yi tugged at her hand: “You drink less.”
Zhu Chuo caught Zhu Yi’s hand and blinked a pair of slightly morose eyes: “The third child, accompany me for a few drinks.”
Zhu Yi couldn’t bear Zhu Chuo looking at her with this kind of eyes. He couldn’t comfort Zhu Chuo with words at the banquet, so he took a drink to accompany her to drink. Zhu Chuo drank a lot of wine and sweet drinks. He was going to the clean room after a while. Zhu Yi was worried that Zhu Chuo might be drunk and misbehaving, so he stayed with her every time.
On the second trip back from the clean room, Xie Ying stopped in front of Zhu Yi. Zhu Chuo was taken aback, looked at Xie Ying and then at Zhu Yi. Her mind was not bright and her tongue was dull. She said to Xie Ying, “You…what are you…blocking the youngest…what are you doing? Don’t quit!”
Xie Ying glanced at Zhu Chuo and motioned to Shen Xingliu to send her back to the hall. The two sisters who had been sticking like glutinous rice **** all day were finally forced to separate.
Zhu Yi was forcibly taken into a guest room by Xie Ying. Xie Ying released the lock and Fang turned and said, “The princess is angry with me? What happened?”
Zhu Yi did not speak. Xie Ying was about to kiss her, Zhu Yi pushed hard to push the man away, and then said: “I heard that the son of the world had planned to marry Yan Yu’er?”
Xie Ying’s eyes moved slightly, and he replied, “Yes.”
Zhu Yi turned around and was about to leave, but Xie Ying grabbed her wrist and carried it into her arms, letting her struggle no matter what. Xie Ying said: “It happened more than two years ago. I didn’t know the princess at that time.”
Zhu Yi smiled and said: “The elder son pretends to be really like it, and he talked about marriage with Yan Yuer, but he didn’t know how to do it when he saw other girls. If not for his father’s permission, the elder son and Yan Yuer are already married, right? Today, it is time to call Yan Yu’er to be the concubine of Wei Ning’s son and concubine.” At the thought that Xie Ying might marry someone else, Zhu Yi felt as if there were thousands of ants gnawing in her heart, and she couldn’t suppress it.
Xie Ying frowned and said, “I am not familiar with her. We never met before entering Beijing this time.”
Zhu Yi’s fingers squeezed tightly: “So, the world has never liked her.”
“of course not.”
Zhu Yi: “I thought that based on the personality of the son of the prince, he must choose a wife that he is satisfied with. It turned out that he would like to marry the son of the prince who has never met before. That is purely to stabilize the foundation of Weizhou?”
Xie Ying didn’t speak, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Zhu Yi chuckled softly and said with a smile: “Then the elder said he was going to marry me, but he just wanted to have a tryst with me?”
Xie Ying’s expression was slightly darker: “Yiyi, if you say something like this, I’m going to get angry. If you don’t believe that I have asked for marriage, I would like to go with you to ask the emperor.”
Zhu Yi didn’t open his face and said: “Then you have to think clearly, I have no momentum, and nothing can help you.”
Seeing Zhu Yi finally showing signs of softening, Xie Ying also lowered her voice: “Yi Yi, I don’t need to take advantage of anyone anymore. At first, Jingzhou wanted to marry Weizhou.”
Zhu Yi is still a little bit brooding: “Then after you saw Yan Yuer this time, do you feel sorry to see her being so cute?”
Xie Ying’s hand gently stroked Zhu Yi’s back: “No regrets, I just feel lucky. If I married Yan Yuer then and met the princess in Beijing, I would regret it for life.”
Zhu Yi shook slightly and looked at Xie Ying. Unlike his soft voice, the other’s eyes were compelling, which is a kind of man’s bound to women.
Xie Ying continued: “Yiyi, I didn’t have any special fantasies about my wife in the past, as long as it is someone I think is suitable.”
Zhu Yi didn’t know that Xie Ying, this person, could fascinate him too little. Among the things he will actively strive for, power is one of them. There is no capable man who doesn’t like power, let alone Xie Yingsheng is the son of a feudal king. The relationship between the imperial court and the various vassals is that you are strong and the other is weak. For himself and the many brothers and subordinates who followed him, he has long been accustomed to grabbing and fighting for power. Therefore, he did not refuse to marry Jingzhou.
Zhu Yi asked lowly: “What about now?”
“Now, I just want the princess.”
