The two women did not expect to see each other at Princess Lian's place.

Zhu Yi didn't know that Gu Nanci had just talked about herself with Princess Lian, so she greeted them first.

Xie Ying looked at Gu Nanci: "Senior sister is here too. Tonight, the princess and I are going to visit the teacher, will you go back too?" The meaning of going at night is to have dinner there.

"I have other things to do at night, so I won't go." Gu Nanci kept her head down after greeting each other.

Gu Nanci responded in this way, Xie Ying naturally would not persuade him any more.

Zhu Yi never heard the rumors about Xie Ying and Gu Nanci before. But Gu Nanci and Princess Lian knew about it. But if Xie Ying avoids Gu Nanci if she sees it, it will confirm the previous rumor anyway. He still communicates openly like this, but no one can talk about it anymore.

Gu Nanci proposed to leave first at this time, she was always cold in front of others, and the only one who received special treatment from her was Princess Lian. So no one said anything.

"Mother, this is for you." Zhu Yi greeted Princess Lian with a jasper seal for the first time, of course not empty-handed. The body of the chapter is engraved with the crabapple that the other party likes, and her name, Layman Xitang, is engraved on the bottom.

Xie Ying added: "This is the model that the princess first wrote, and I carved it accordingly."

Concubine Lian took it over and looked at it carefully, and said: "This word is really good, you have a heart." She raised her head, and the two seemed to be husband and wife.

Concubine Lian herself has no ill feeling toward Zhu Yi. She preferred girls to having a son. What's more, Zhu Yi is so beautiful, she will be in a good mood when she sees her. But after Gu Nanci said that, Princess Lian observed Zhu Yi very cautiously. Everyone trusts people they have known for decades more than strangers.

Zhu Yi said at this time: "The flowers in mother's yard are so beautiful."

Princess Lian's greatest hobby is growing flowers. In the Tanruo Courtyard where she lives, besides the flowers planted in the garden, there are also many flower houses and flower racks. Flowers are blooming all year round, no matter whether they are famous or not, it just depends on whether she likes them or not. For example, on the way into the main courtyard, there is a large peach blossom as bright as the morning glow.

Princess Lian thought about it, and led Zhu Yi to visit the flower house. Finally, when Zhu Yi left, she gave her a pot of purple peonies with pendulum beads.

After Zhu Yi came out, she couldn't help asking: "Xie Ying, does the princess like Senior Sister Nanci very much?" She noticed that when Gu Nanci left, Princess Lian looked at Gu Nanci several times with very gentle eyes.

"She has been with Nanci for a long time, so she naturally has feelings. But it is the first time to take the initiative to give her flowers to others."

Zhu Yi laughed as soon as he heard it: "Really?"

"Yeah." Xie Ying said: "Our Yiyi, who doesn't like it."

Zhu Yi heard a self-satisfied and boastful tone from the man's words, pursed his lips lightly, smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, Xie Ying returned to Lushiyuan from Joining the Army Mansion, and took Zhu Yi to Gu Taiyan's home.

And Gu Nanci was sitting in the famous box of "March Maohui" in Weiyuan City drinking, drinking alone one cup at a time. When Xie Shao arrived, Gu Nanci's complexion was already flushed, and his eyes were frozen.

"Nanci." Xie Shao stood in front of the other party: "You drank too much. I'll take you back to the hospital."

Gu Nanci looked at the shadows of the boats on the Yuanhe River, and didn't want to leave, so he said in a daze, "Have a few drinks with me." He finished the six words almost word by word, almost biting his tongue.

It was extremely drunk. Xie Shao stared at the woman for a moment, pinched the back of her neck to make her dizzy, covered her with a thin silk cape, and carried Gu Nanci away.

Gu Nanci's medical clinic was not far from Sanyue Maohui, so Xie Shao sent her back directly.

Seeing Gu Nanci being put on the bed by a man, Lou Ning, who was in charge of protecting her, was afraid of what Xie Shao might do, so he stepped forward and said, "The king of the county..."

Xie Shao glanced at Lou Ning and knew that the other party belonged to Xie Ying, so he turned and left without saying a word.

As soon as he stepped out of the medical hall, he heard Fang Yu beside him say, "Young Prince, the prince and concubine are in front."

Xie Shao walked towards the direction Fang Yu was pointing at, stood by the bank of the Yuan River and looked down, just in time to see Xie Ying leading Zhu Yi onto a painting boat.

That was Xie Ying's own painting boat. The painting boat is sealed with a red window with a swastika grid, blocking visits from the outside world.

Xie Shao's eyes stayed on the painting boat, and slowly narrowed his eyes. Xie Ying naturally has more than one painting boat, this is the most rigorously built one. You Jiang originally wanted to open the window to view the scenery, but the painting boat left the shore without opening the window from the beginning to the end.

One can also imagine that the two of them were flirting with each other inside, or even doing other more indulgent things.

Xie Ying and Zhu Yi had indeed fallen down on the low couch and kissed. They were newlyweds, and they were very affectionate, so they were naturally inseparable.

To Xie Ying, Zhu Yi is like the most thirst-quenching fruit. When I secretly tasted it in Beijing, I knew it tasted very delicious, but due to various reasons, I can only eat it occasionally, not to my heart's content. Now that his surname has been crowned, it is natural to reward yourself well.

But no matter how the man coaxed and told Zhu Yi that this was her family's boat, she was unwilling to do such a private thing on the painting boat.

Xie Ying proposed to play chess, whoever wins decides. Of course Zhu Yi disagreed, who would do such a predictable ending.

For the convenience of asking her to make a condition, Zhu Yi thought about how she could win Xie Ying, and finally said that she would roll the dice and compare the size. By pure luck, at least she has a half chance of winning.

But she was too naive.

Shen Xingliu quickly sent the dice in according to Xie Ying's request.

After rolling the dice three times in a row, the two people got double sixes and double ones. Of course it is Xie Ying Shuangliu and Zhu Yishuangyi. Zhu Yi couldn't believe his eyes, his brows were frowned, his red mouth was open, and he hadn't closed it since the first pair, and he never expected to lose so badly.

Although she believed in Xie Ying's gamble, she still couldn't help but took the two dice and the dice cup and thought about it carefully. This... can't be a problem. But she is not good at this way, how can she see anything. He simply asked directly: "You haven't touched this dice, have you?"

Xie Ying said in a wronged tone: "Rolling the dice is a request from the princess. How can I prepare in advance?"

Zhu Yi frowned even tighter, could it be that her luck was really so bad

Looking at Zhu Yi's expression at the moment, Xie Ying also felt that she was a little too much, tapped her fingertips on the table twice, and said "magnanimously": "Then I will let Yi Yi do it for my husband, and let you reopen it three times." .”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yi readily agreed. This time the gap was not that big, Xie Ying and Zhu Yi were: ten to eight, seven to three, five to six, and she won once. But in general, Xie Ying won after all, Zhu Yi can only accept the bet and admit defeat.

She was quickly embraced by Xie Ying, pressed under the window, and quickly made a request to the other party: "Then, only once."

The man looked at her for a moment, then smiled and agreed: "Okay."

"Also..." Zhu Yi whispered with a blushing face, "You can't get...inside me, and you can't take a bath here, and it's uncomfortable to go back with stickiness."

"Okay." Xie Ying continued to respond with a smile, and began to untie the tie of the dark green crepe skirt around her waist.

Concubine Lian was sitting in front of the dressing table at this time, asking her maid Jian'er to take off the hairpin for her and loosen her long hair. The eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside: "The prince is here."

Seeing King Wei Ning coming in from the mirror, Princess Lian waved her hand to signal Jian'er to go away, but she was still sitting on the stool, but turned around and asked, "Is there something wrong with the lord?"

King Wei Ning turned a blind eye to Princess Lian's disrespect: "My king will stay at Wangfei's place tonight."

Concubine Lian frowned obviously, then she stood up and said: "I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid it's because I didn't take good care of my lord, so my lord should go somewhere else."

King Wei Ning sneered twice, and said, "Are you feeling unwell?" His eyes lingered on the tall and handsome figure of the other party, and that still beautiful and flawless face like a girl, and the greed flashed in his eyes.

"Yes." Concubine Lian said, "My lord, please."

Seeing the woman making a gesture of seeing off the guest, King Wei Ning suddenly lowered his face, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist firmly, and said, "Princess, you still occupy the position of my wife. But as soon as I come to your place, You are either unwell, or there are various reasons. Am I pampering you too much? I still want you to serve me today. "

Jian'er on the side was so frightened by King Wei Ning's sudden outburst of anger that he dropped the comb in his hand, and hurried forward and said, "My lord, my concubine is really taking medicine, Miss Nanci just came here this morning."

"Get out." King Wei Ning shouted.

Concubine Lian signaled Jian'er to go out, and calmly broke King Wei Ning's hand: "Your lord has so many concubines, you don't want to look for anyone. Besides, if you think I have taken your wife's position, you can divorce me."

King Ning of Wei smiled darkly: "You really want me to divorce you? Then Xie Ying, the prince, will be embarrassing."

Concubine Lian's expression finally changed, she no longer tugged at the other party's hand as before, but her gaze was no longer the usual loose, but cold and sharp.

Under such gaze, King Wei Ning lost his madness just now, he just let go with a heavy snort, and said, "Just mention that your son is afraid. Think more about Xie Ying, and treat me better in the future. "

Princess Lian still looked at her coldly. King Wei Ning felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he turned and left.

Weizhou is as peaceful as ever. But in many places outside Weizhou, swords and soldiers have been everywhere, and the people are in dire straits.

The long-term intrusion of the northern and southern barbarians, the divergence of the vassal kings, the corruption of officials, the heavy taxes in various places to maintain the luxury of the royal family, and the turmoil of the refugees from time to time have made this seemingly huge empire a long time ago.

At this time, many local officials are busy planning for their own future, and they have no intention of governing. Not only local tyrants took the opportunity to create chaos, but also an unprecedented number of refugee armies broke out everywhere. Plagues even broke out in Qinzhou and other places, and the chaos in the world has intensified.

The Zhu family can't even defend the country, let alone fight everywhere, so someone will take its place. This is the inevitable trajectory.

In recent days, Xie Ying spent less and less time in Lushiyuan to accompany Zhu Yi. Although no one dared to directly attack Weizhou for the time being, living in troubled times, he might face sudden enemy situation at any time.

Naturally, Zhu Yi would not let Xie Ying be under heavy responsibilities, and worry about her. She was doing her own thing every day, and the arrangements were quite full. As a result, Xie Ying came back a little earlier that day, and she still couldn't see her.
