Hearing this voice, Xu Jiao turned to look.
It just happened to let her see the protagonist, the regent Yu Ye, who was supposed to be touted by ministers and blessed by foreign envoys at the palace banquet.
The phrase 'beauty in a private meeting' still lingered in Xu Jiao's mind.
At this moment, Nie Yunyue also looked at the people who came here. He has grown into a handsome young man who has lived in the palace all the year round, and has been able to hide all his joys and anger. Now he is faced with an army that defeated Liang Guo and almost made him fall. As the culprit behind bars, his face was calm, but his eyes changed, so he politely bowed his hands to Yu Ye:
"General Yu."
Yu Ye glanced at him, then looked at Xu Jiao again, and heard the little prince explain lightly: "I ate a lot at the palace banquet just now, and I went out for a walk to digest my food, but Mr. Yu is now a hero of Great Yan. He is also the protagonist of tonight's banquet, why did he come out?"
Hearing Xu Jiao's words, Yu Ye replied coldly, "There are some things that need to be dealt with urgently at Jin Yiwei."
Xu Jiao nodded, and politely said, "Your Excellency is working hard." Then, without saying hello to Nie Yunyue, she took the people around her to the direction of the East Palace, with no intention of dealing with such a grand event as a banquet.
Then again, as a prince without real power, what does it matter if she is not at the banquet
Wouldn't it be better to read more books if you have the time to watch those people play on the scene
Xu Jiao was thinking about a canonical historical account she read a few days ago, and she led the people to go back much faster. After Nie Yunyue also said goodbye, Yu Ye looked at the same place and could only see the long line behind the guard of honor of the crown prince. The light of the palace lanterns in the hands of the palace staff team is like a snake, like a long dragon.
She didn't know why she made an excuse to follow Xu Jiao subconsciously when she saw Xu Jiao leave the table, maybe she wanted to see if Xu Jiao had changed during her absence.
Thinking about it now-
The Crown Prince seemed to have grown taller.
Under the wide clothes, unlike the original thin body that could only support the clothes with the skeleton, there was some flesh, and the chin was no longer as sharp as before.
Raised well.
A comment crossed in Yu Ye's mind.
People around her saw that she had been standing in the road for too long until there was no one around, and they couldn't help but dare to say with some doubts: "Master Yu..."
Yu Ye retracted his gaze and was reminded of the incident. Thinking of the secret donations and sales of officials from some court officials collected by Jinyiwei, the coldness in her eyes came up. In the dark of the night, she said softly. :
"Let's go."
The servant nodded, silently quickened his pace to keep up with her movements, and could vaguely hear a question buried in the wind:
"Sir, those gifts..."
"Put it in the warehouse - as for the person who sent it, after the investigation, it will be dismissed cleanly, and the problem will be dealt with."
"Yes."
…
some time thereafter.
Except for the East Palace where she is located, Xu Jiao basically doesn't go out much. After all, Yu Ye is now in Dayan's momentum, and there are inevitably some courtiers in the court who are very observant, compared to a regent who controls Dayan's heavy army and has Jinyiwei on hand. Wang, it is obvious that investing in a prince who has no real power and is still a daughter is not so promising.
Under this circumstance, if she had something to do, she would dangle in front of the courtiers, or take the initiative to make some noises. It was inevitable that some people would move her on the principle of sharing her worries and solving problems for Yu Ye.
Yu Ye is so powerful now, imagine that if the only obstacle to her succession—Xu Jiao—is removed, would anyone else be able to influence her to become the first female emperor in Dayan history
there is none left.
Xu Jiao hasn't waited for Yu Ye's happy ending, and she doesn't want to return to the system space so early. She is afraid that she will die too soon. If there are other changes in Yu Ye's life, she will no longer be able to interfere.
Fortunately, Xu Jiao was a dead house when she was a writer of online articles. She didn't feel so boring after staying in one world for a long time.
A festive red palace lantern hangs between the eaves and teeth.
One night, Xu Jiao saw the dark sky, and after observing for a long time, she guessed that there would be snow at night, so she ordered someone to prepare a thick cloak, and secretly plated the Dayan Palace with a layer of silver in the rustling white. When she was pretending, she took a few palace servants and walked outside the palace.
Falling snow always makes the world a quieter place.
Xu Jiao wore thick plush gloves, and there was a layer of snow-white velvet collar around her neck, which made her cheeks small and cute, as if it was no bigger than a slap of an adult, and even her facial features were exquisite. Even the best craftsmen in the country can't carve the eyebrows.
Even if someone beside her held an umbrella and blocked the snow particles above her head, as long as there was a slight gust of wind, some mischievous fish would float on her shoulders, hair slightly, and quietly turn into a little dampness. Mark of.
Xu Jiao followed the location of a red plum in her memory.
Under the palace wall, her red cloak almost merged with the high wall.
But just as she turned the corner, she was a little surprised to find a figure standing under the plum tree with its stems and twists and turns. The man was wearing a dark silver cloak, and he could vaguely see the dark pattern of green bamboo on the top. There is also a sense of loneliness in the quiet snow.
After a short distance, Xu Jiao glanced at the figure and turned around without warning.
The palace servant who was holding the umbrella for her saw her turn around, a moment of daze appeared in his eyes, and then he said, "Your Highness, didn't you think about seeing this beautiful scene of red plums falling snow, why are you approaching now? Changed your mind again?"
Xu Jiao narrowed her eyes.
Before she could speak, Nie Yunyue, who had been sunken in the snowy scene for a long time, had already turned around with obvious surprise in her eyes, and then she took the initiative to walk in the direction of Xu Jiao, holding a handle inlaid with it. The white and beautiful jade folding fan is obviously used for comparison in this cold and freezing scenery.
He cupped his hands towards Xu Jiao: "His Royal Highness, we meet again."
Xu Jiao's eyes swept across the palace servants beside her, and she already guessed in her heart that the door she had planned for tonight had been revealed by someone with a heart. If it was said that the encounter with Nie Yunyue after the previous palace banquet was just a game Coincidentally, now that the other party is bumping into one after another, no matter how stupid Xu Jiao is, she knows that she has been deliberately touched by the other party.
Even if she knew that she was being calculated, she was not very nervous, and nodded calmly on the face, but the first sentence she said was:
"Young Master Nie, if I were you, I would never be happy to meet Prince Dayan."
Nie Yunyue blinked, as if she could not understand the meaning of Xu Jiao's words, a slight smile appeared on her face: "I don't know what Your Highness means?"
Obviously he is also the prince of Liang Kingdom, just because he is now in the enemy country as a hostage, facing Xu Jiao, who has the same identity as himself, he has to show such politeness. what.
He thought that Dayan's crown prince was in control, and even planned to use Xu Jiao as a pawn to help her fight against Yu Ye, disrupt Dayan's situation, and use the chaos to return to his homeland.
Who would have thought that this little prince, who was raised in the deep palace and had hardly appeared in the courtroom, looked at him as if he had understood everything, and his clear eyes were clear.
Nie Yunyue heard her say, "First, Yu Ye is not stupid, and second, I'm not as stupid as you think."
After saying these two sentences, Xu Jiao lost Pinmei's interest, turned around and walked back, just took two steps, the rustling snowflakes fell on her head, soon covered with a layer of silver.
A bit of clammy air spread over her head.
She turned her head to the side and saw that Gong E, who was holding the umbrella for her, looked like she had not yet reacted. She raised her hand and snatched the umbrella bone from her, and walked back on her own.
It wasn't until the palm of his hand was empty that the palace man realized what was going on, he quickly walked towards her with the hem of his skirt, and whispered, "His Royal Highness!"
Xu Jiao paused for a while, her eyes still looking at the way she came from, but her voice was directed at the palace maid next to her: "You don't have to follow, the East Palace does not keep food inside and outside, and serve your new master well. "
That Gong E was taken aback for a while, her heart inexplicably flashed a bit of panic, no matter how cold the snow was, she immediately knelt down and said to Xu Jiao:
"His Royal Highness! This servant does not understand!"
But Xu Jiao didn't respond to her again, only leaving her a fading back.
…
After returning to the palace.
Xu Jiao walked into the hall where the earth dragon was laid, and someone came up to take off the cloak for her. Even though her expression has not changed, the people in this palace are all human beings, and many servants are watching. She was in a bad mood at the moment, so for a while there was only the sound of the lotus-shaped candles in the corner being burned and crackling.
Her eyes swept across the faces of the palace servants around her, as if she wanted to see clearly who else was undercover in this palace through their faces. The light in the room was not clear. Vague ghosts generally hide in the dark.
Xu Jiao calmly retracted her gaze, and went straight to the inner hall. Nothing happened, and she just stopped.
The next day, she woke up with pain in her throat.
Xu is because she doesn't move very much in the East Palace all day long. Although she is well fed every day, Xu Jiao's physique has not improved significantly. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, opened her eyes and wanted to sit down. When he got up, he suddenly found a figure in front of his bed.
A faint cold fragrance floated over from the other side.
She narrowed her eyes and saw clearly who was coming—
It's Yu Ye.
Not far from the bed, the palace people silently knelt on the ground.
Aware of the movement behind him, Yu Ye turned his face, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, like a sharpened blade, and even the sound scraped into Xu Jiao's ear like a steel knife:
"His Royal Highness is finally willing to wake up? It seems that yesterday's date was enough."
Xu Jiao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, ignoring her yin and yang tone, and was not surprised that Yu Ye knew what she was doing. She looked around the room and quickly locked onto the wooden table over there. The teapot and cup on the top, lifted the quilt and prepared to go under the bed.
But before his feet stepped on the ground, Yu Ye pressed his shoulders.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but His Highness has become more and more arrogant. I am sitting here talking to you, but you are completely deaf to it?"
Xu Jiao took a deep breath.
She turned her head to face Yu Ye, as if she had used all her patience to suppress the pain in her throat and the irritability in her mind. Then, she spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Master Yu."
"If I'm not in a hurry, can I drink some water before answering your question?"
Hearing her rustling voice, Yu Ye always felt a little harsh and felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Xu Jiao for a second, but she still didn't let go. Instead, she set her eyes on the palace servant not far away. body.
Someone trembled at her gaze, but they had already understood her instructions. They rubbed their knees and took a few steps back before they carefully hunched over and poured a cup of warm tea for Xu Jiao and handed it to the bed. forward.
Xu Jiao raised her hand to take it, moistened her throat, and heard Yu Ye say: "The imperial doctor has already seen it, Your Highness has contracted a cold, and the medicine has been fried in the back kitchen, but - can your Highness tell this minister, recently? You were originally at the gate of the palace, but why did you suddenly have the interest to go out on the snowy night?"
Xu Jiao didn't want to go around with her, she said bluntly: "Who I met yesterday, Master Yu should be clear, why bother asking again?"
If Yu Ye wanted to kill her, she would put a hat of "passing the enemy" on her head, and then arbitrarily let Jin Yiwei bribe the palace servants around her to do perjury, Xu Jiao would definitely die no longer.
If Yu Ye didn't mean to kill her, then it doesn't make much sense for her to say it or not.
Xu Jiao found that she didn't want to deal with this guy.
so tired.
Yu Ye hooked his lips, showing a smile that was not a smile: "I did send some people to look after His Highness, but last night His Highness did not bring many people with him, I am afraid that what they have recited is not true, so I came here to tell His Highness. Ask for proof, lest someone slander His Highness' innocence."
Xu Jiao looked at the tea cup in her hand, thinking whether it would be okay to smash the heroine unconscious and go to the next book.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Yu Ye thought she was refusing to answer his own question, so he turned his eyes to the palace servants at his feet, and randomly picked someone and asked, "Tell me, whose appointment was your Highness going out yesterday? ?"
Xu Jiao, the palace servant, was not impressed, and could not even tell what position the other party held in this palace.
As soon as she raised her eyes, Xu Jiao heard her say, "I don't know... It's just that, yesterday, His Highness said that he would like to reward plums, and the maids followed them together, only to find out that Nie Yunyue, the prince of Liang Kingdom, happened to be there too."
This sounds really clever.
It was as if Xu Jiao deliberately asked someone to meet there.
Yu Ye raised his brows and asked again, "Do you know what is the crime of slandering the royal family?"
The palace maid shivered immediately, knelt on the ground and kept shouting: "Master Yu, spare your life! This servant does not dare! Everything the servant said is true!"
Yu Ye just shook his head and ordered someone to drag her down.
Then softly said: "Stand-kill."
If someone else came to be the prince, he would definitely tremble, thinking that Yu Ye was killing the chickens and showing the monkeys, and even had a sense of crisis, either interceding for the next person, or both liver and gallbladder, but Xu Jiao calmly. Seeing her questioning some people one after another like this, and dragging them down to kill them, she actually saw some way.
Among these guys, some of them overlapped with the one she suspected of being inserted yesterday.
Yu Ye…
Are you helping her clear the door
Why do you want to do this? Find a reason to kill her, and then it would be better to simply take the position yourself, why bother
Xu Jiao couldn't figure it out, but because Yu Ye's attitude was not aimed at her, she changed her mind a little bit. When Yu Ye looked over with a smile and asked her again about her appointment last night, she changed her words no. Then the piercing words speak:
"Go to this natural covenant of heaven and earth."
"It's the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and the plum blossoms are blooming just right. If you don't go to see one, won't you live up to the beauty of this beautiful day?"
Yu Ye looked at her with a light expression, and asked again, "Oh? What do your Highness think about Nie Yunyue's incident?"
Xu Jiao glanced at her, and reluctantly continued to speak with her own unpleasant voice again: "He is Fang Seventeen, and he is almost weak. , who knew that this time, Daliang was defeated by Qi, Chu, and Yan three countries, and he was pressed as a proton. I think his style of behavior is not that kind of wine bag and rice bag, but he must have prepared some 'small gifts' for Dayan ."
"The reason why I meet with me one after another is probably because I think he looks good, and I'm a woman who hasn't seen much of the world in the deep palace, so I should be a good pawn for him."
Yu Ye laughed for no reason.
There are also stars in his eyes.
When she heard the news from Jinyiwei last night, even if she heard all the conversations between Xu Jiao and Nie Yunyue being recounted, she could not help but be suspicious. I don't want to see myself picking the wrong person again this time.
Yu Ye is actually a little contradictory.
So she couldn't help but come to test Xu Jiao.
I didn't expect...
The Crown Prince once again surprised her.
make her feel-
It seems that Dayan's throne should be prepared for this person.
Yu Ye was distracted for only a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. She followed Xu Jiao's words and received it with great interest: "Oh? What does Your Highness think about Nie Yunyue's appearance?"
Xu Jiao glanced at her, and there was something inexplicable in her eyes. She didn't know why this person was crooked while interrogating her, but she still answered patiently:
"not bad-"
After all, being handsome is the standard for male protagonists.
"It's just that the handsome man used the wrong person."
Yu Ye raised his brows: "Oh? His Royal Highness originally had someone he liked? Could this minister know?" If he didn't have someone he liked, how could he not be interested in a man like Nie Yunyue
She wanted to see how Xu Jiao defended.
Xu Jiao put the empty teacup beside her, and her tone was a little careless: "It doesn't matter if there is someone you like, it's just that Nie Yunyue would rather send a smarter-looking person to seduce me instead of going out in person. The maid is useful."
Yu Ye: "..."
Yu Ye: "?"
For a moment she wondered what was wrong with her comprehension.
What did the prince just say? She said that Nie Yunyue was less attractive to her than a maid
What does it mean
"Your Highness's words—" Yu Ye was quiet for two seconds, and then slowly spoke again.
Xu Jiao interrupted her directly, and met Yu Ye's gaze with burning eyes: "It means that I don't like men, can Master Yu be relieved now?"
Enough to try? Do you doubt that she is collaborating with the enemy
However, Yu Ye was blocked by the word "rest assured" in her words, and his thoughts were crooked.
The first thought that popped into my mind was:
As expected of the Xu family, he is still a lunatic.
Immediately, when getting along with Xu Jiao, some strange conversations came to mind:
"Send you to bed."
"to whom?"
"I."
"Oh, Master Yu has good taste."
…
"Could it be that you actually took a fancy to my beauty and wanted to feel the pleasure of pressing the royal family under your body, so you gave me a chance to live in an ingenious way?"
"Master Yu really wants me to sleep?"
"Master Yu is really hard to please."
"A few days ago, His Highness the Prince came from the palace, saying that he saw that the adults did not use chopsticks for the meat at the dining table. I guessed that you probably don't like meat, so I specially gave the kitchen a few recipes..."
…
In the past, all the content that she heard a little crazy in the past were paired one by one.
It turned out that the Crown Prince actually liked women.
And Xu Jiao's sentence just now, "It means that I don't like men, can Master Yu rest assured?"
Don't worry about what
Is it...
The person Xu Jiao likes turns out to be...
is her
Yu Ye's heart skipped a beat by his own guess, and he didn't even bother to wait for Xu Jiao's medicine to be cooked, so he made a random excuse and came out of the East Palace.
Walking on the road, a subordinate beside him asked aloud: "Sir, there are now fewer palace servants in the East Palace, do you want to pick some more people to send over?"
What they sent over was naturally to monitor Xu Jiao.
Yu Ye paused for a while: "Choose some good and loyal ones."
This is what it means to not want to arrange people.
The subordinate was at a loss for a moment, thinking about what Yu Ye didn't think when he came to the East Palace before: "This..."
Yu Ye thought about it for a while, but then added: "You send someone to send it directly, His Royal Highness has many worries, another day you will directly let the steward in the palace take the person, and let His Highness choose the one you like, only One point, the identities of those palace servants have been carefully checked, if His Highness is out of business, I will ask you."
"As ordered." The subordinate finally said nothing.
However, Yu Ye walked and raised his hand to fan himself.
It seems that it is not in the mid-winter twelfth lunar month, but in the midsummer season.
Rarely, there was a bit of distress in her dark eyes, and she was thinking seriously:
Xu Jiao's sexuality, how to break her off
But what she likes is herself, and she should fall in love with herself at first sight. If she pushes her rudely to other people, or places some sensible male pets in the past, she will definitely make her unhappy.
No wonder I thought the prince was exquisite and obedient before, but now Yu Ye finally understood the key—
Because Xu Jiao likes her.
So I want to show her a good side, but never do anything to betray her.
Thinking of this, Yu Ye sighed softly, feeling that this question was a bit tricky, and his mind was occupied by this big doubt. To summarize:
Urgent! Wait online! How can I politely refuse her without hurting a person, and let her continue to listen to me in the future
After leaving a message, go to favorites, arrange, understand
