Xie Ying didn't answer this time. Naturally, it was impossible for Shen Xingliu to ask. He always felt that the son's attitude towards Xie Shao was subtle, as if he was not only treating his brother-in-law, or his opponent, but also something else.
At the beginning of the next day, Zhu Yi was called by Xie Ying to go on her way. When she got outside the inn, she saw that the couple next door were doing well, and Zhu Yi looked away.
At the outskirts of Beijing, Xie Ying suggested: "Princess, why don't we go to Longguo Temple together after your palace servants enter the capital?"
Zhu Yi was taken aback: "But they won't arrive until three days later. If we don't go to Longguo Temple, where will we stay these few days?"
Xie Ying's voice was full of coaxing: "There are many interesting places in the capital, maybe the princess has never been there. It's rare to come out, don't you want to go shopping?"
Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying, who talked about her heart every time. Zhu Yi followed his heart and just passed the responsibility to Xie Ying.
After breakfast at the Bazhen Building, it's time to find a place to bathe and change clothes. Naturally, it was all arranged by Xie Ying, and Zhu Yi just followed.
Even Zhu Yi had heard of the famous plum blossom soup restaurant in the palace. It is said that the water in the soup pond inside is extremely clear and moist. The side of the pool is made of strange stones and flowers to create the image of mountains and fields, and the dome is made of light blue glass. The sunlight leaks from the glass roof. A scenic spot in the woods.
Zhu Yi stepped out of the misty soup pool, wrapped in a bright yellow gauze, and lay down on the cool bed. When the maid in the soup restaurant wanted to take her gauze, she was a little embarrassed, after all, she was an unfamiliar person.
But when the maid wiped the skin-clearing jade girl's dew on her body, and slowly pressed her hands along her shoulders to her ankles, Zhu Yi couldn't help sighing... It's so comfortable, and this maid's craftsmanship is too good. There is actually a place outside the palace that is more enjoyable than inside the palace.
Zhu Yi thought, before returning to the palace, she must come again.
Wen Yan occasionally turned her head from the door, and what caught her eyes was Zhu Yi's milky white skin. Because she was lying on her stomach, she could see the seductive curves of the girl's back. Even as a woman, she was blushing. General care.
Wen Yan guessed that the prince would come over later, but Xie Ying didn't show up until Zhu Yi changed into a clean dress.
It was Zhu Yi who took the initiative to ask, "Wen Yan, where is your son?"
Just as Zhu Yi was asking, Xie Ying happened to come over and changed her clothes.
Zhu Yi was intoxicated with enjoyment before, but now she realized that when she was in the soup pool, Xie Ying didn't come over to abruptly. It's not that she wants Xie Ying to come. Rather, even last night at the inn he specifically looked for her, and in today's situation where it is easier to take advantage of the eyes, he didn't come...
Seeing that Zhu Yi seemed to have something on her mind, Xie Ying asked, "Why, the princess is uncomfortable inside?"
Zhu Yi said lightly: "No, it's very good, thank you for your arrangement." There was no further talk.
Xie Ying glanced at her, because it was inconvenient to speak outside, so he didn't say much.
After leaving the Plum Blossom Soup Restaurant, a group of people crossed a street and came to Yazhen Pavilion.
Xie Ying said: "Isn't the princess fond of collecting stationery, the things in Yazhen Pavilion are not bad, you can take a look."
Zhu Yi glanced at Xie Ying out of the corner of his eye. He also knew that he liked to collect stationery? Just hmm.
Yazhen Pavilion is three stories high and spacious. The first floor is full of books, while the second and third floors are for supplies. Xie Ying accompanied Zhu Yi to the first floor for a long time and helped her choose two sets of books.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, Shen Xingliu whispered something in Xie Ying's ear, and Xie Ying said to Zhu Yi, "Princess, in this Yazhen Pavilion, just take whatever you like. I'll be back in a while."
Knowing that he was very busy, Zhu Yi nodded. Anyway, she bought the things first, and how much money she spent, she wanted to return it to Xie Ying.
After walking around for a while, Zhu Yi stopped in front of a white jade seal.
On the seal is a standing butterfly cat. The cat's eyes are inlaid with sapphires.
Zhu Yi immediately wanted to buy it and bring it back as a gift to Zhu Chuo. She called the waiter on the side, and was about to speak when a female voice came in:
"Give me this cat seal! I want it."
Zhu Yi and Wen Yan looked over, and saw that the other party was wearing a silk skirt with Tang color, white butterflies and spring patterns, and the hairpins were of the highest quality, followed by four servant girls, she looked like a noble girl. Unlike Zhu Dai and Zhu Chuo, Zhu Yi doesn't like to participate in the activities of the ladies' circle, so she doesn't know which family she belongs to.
Zhu Yi didn't expect that this girl was not from the elite circle of the capital. The other party indeed had a strong background, she was the youngest daughter of King Jinghai, and Yan Yuer, the head of Jia County, was Zhu Chuo's cousin and the Empress Dowager's natal family. Because she was old enough to marry, the Queen Mother specially ordered King Jinghai to send her to Beijing.
Originally, when Yan Yu'er entered the capital, she should go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother as soon as possible, but this girl is used to living in Jingzhou, and she had to take a stroll around the bustling capital before being locked in the big cage of the palace.
Wen Yan said: "This seal is the one that our young lady saw first."
"Why did she fall in love with it first?" Yan Yu'er glanced at Zhu Yi: "Obviously I said it first."
This intentionally finding fault made Wen Yan look at Yan Yu'er more. This girl was indeed beautiful, probably because she was used to being surrounded by stars at home, and felt that she should be the most noticed wherever she went, but all the eyes around her followed Princess Xizhen, she couldn't stand the gap, could she
Yan Yuer's maids also secretly looked at Zhu Yi many times. Zhu Yi was wearing an apricot-colored Tiansun silk dress with dark patterns on the Yanlongxi River. Because Mianfeng was not there, neither she nor Wen Yan was good at combing hair, so Zhu Yi wore a flat bun instead of a pearl bergamot hairpin.
If you don't have the eyesight to recognize the material of the clothes, and you see Zhu Yi's hair in such a rough bun, with a hairpin on her head to support the scene, and there is only one maid following her, you will probably think that her family background is mediocre, and want to use her appearance to meet a celebrity in a place like Yazhen Pavilion Good luck, catch golden turtles!
But the maid beside Yan Yu'er saw that Zhu Yi's manner was elegant and graceful, and whispered: "Miss, I don't think this girl's demeanor looks like she came from a small family."
Yan Yu'er whispered meaningfully: "Deportment? What can it explain. Those skinny horses have been trained to behave well since childhood." Zhu Yi's master and servant did not hear this sentence.
Wen Yan refused to accept that Yan Yu'er took the chapter, and wanted to argue.
Zhu Yi said: "Wen Yan, I don't necessarily want this seal, let's look elsewhere." Indeed, she just called the waiter, and didn't say whether she wanted it or not. Besides, she was just going out for a private stroll, so it would be best if she didn't cause trouble.
Yan Yu'er looked at the back of Zhu Yi's master and servant leaving, and snorted softly, with a dark sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Zhu Yi's footsteps stopped again, in front of the armrest of an emerald double showerhead with fluttering green on a white background. The arm rests white in the middle, and the green part at both ends is carved into a lotus pod with pretty colors. The round lotus seeds can be rotated gently inside. It is small and unique, and it looks like it is for women to use.
Zhu Yi called the waiter over again. Yan Yu'er followed her all the time, and when she saw this, she was about to come again, but Zhu Yi had already said, "I want this lotus arm rest." No matter how good-tempered she was, she would not back away again and again.
Seeing that she didn't grab it, Yan Yu'er wasn't annoyed, she just stared at Zhu Yi and smiled again.
Zhu Yi felt that this man's gaze was really strange. She obviously didn't know her, but the other's attitude towards her was not like the first time they met her.
Master and servant Zhu Yi paid the bill with the waiter and left. Yan Yu'er followed to the street, and soon saw a man walking beside Zhu Yi, walking side by side, looking quite intimate.
It's not who Xie Ying is—Yan Yuer stared at the man's back, and said to her most skilled guard: "Follow up and see where they went."
Xie Ying took Zhu Yi to the famous Yeguang Building next to Danshui. The origin of the name of the Yeguang Building is that it is a good place to see the night view of the capital. Especially the top floor where Xie Ying and Zhu Yi were.
The daytime in summer is too hot, and in the evening, people who are sheltering from the cool will rush out, so the night market in summer is more lively than any other season, with a variety of dramas and colorful lights. Danshui flows slowly through Shangjing like a belt, and the sound of oars waves and light, like falling stars.
All this was naturally novel to Zhu Yi. With her hands propped on the carved railing, she stretched out half of her body to see the stream of people under her feet. Looking at it like this is not enough, she proposed to go to the night market, Xie Ying said: "Okay, but I have something to say to the princess first."
Shen Xingliu and Wen Yan retreated after hearing the words.
Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying: "What are you talking about?"
Xie Ying sat on the chair beside the railing, patted her legs twice, and signaled Zhu Yi to sit here. Zhu Yi pretended not to understand the hint, and said, "If you have anything to say, please speak quickly."
Xie Ying said: "Why did the princess look unhappy when she came out of the plum blossom soup restaurant?"
"No way." Zhu Yi would not admit it.
Xie Ying pulled Zhu Yi onto his lap and sat there. Zhu Yi knew that it was useless to resist, so she let him hug her. Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi's expression and asked, "Is the princess blaming me for not breaking into the princess's room and playing in the water with you?"
Zhu Yi stared wide-eyed, mandarin duck... playing in the water, playing with his size!
However, Xie Ying's long eyelashes blinked lightly, and she stared at her closely. Zhu Yi was not in a good mood, and she said seriously: "My lord, you are also an important minister of the country, and you are thinking about things all day long. What?"
Xie Ying said earnestly: "I want... princess."
Zhu Yi was ashamed and annoyed, speechless.
Xie Ying frowned slightly: "Then why is the princess unhappy? The female master I found for the princess is said to be the best in the restaurant. Could it be that she doesn't serve her well?"
Zhu Yi thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "I have been served very well, but I don't know where the prince is? How can I call the best girl to serve me? I should be called to serve the prince." Said Don't overdo it when you're done.
As soon as Xie Ying heard this, she knew that the horse's ass had been patted on the horse's leg again. He was looking for the Plum Blossom Soup restaurant just to make Zhu Yi feel comfortable, but who knows... However, Xie Ying smiled lightly, and when Zhu Yi was jealous, he was much more honest than usual.
He asked in a low voice: "So, the princess is jealous again?"
"..." Zhu Yi squeezed the hem of the skirt, and? She thought about it carefully, and it really was again. Ever since she knew that Xie Ying was going to Yuzhizhou, she couldn't help feeling all kinds of disappointment for him. Zhu Yi didn't like this, and began to struggle uneasily.
Xie Ying hugged her tightly and said, "I came out after taking a bath, and I didn't look for the female master. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shen Xingliu."
Zhu Yiji whispered: "I don't believe it." Then said: "You are so bad. If it wasn't because someone was waiting for you, wouldn't you come here to bully me?"
Xie Ying felt that Zhu Yi was really cute, so she suppressed her smile and said, "It's true."
His eyes darkened a bit, and he told Zhu Yi more bluntly: "I didn't come to see the princess because I'm not a saint. I can't stand just thinking about the princess taking a bath. If I see the princess... I can't guarantee it." Can you hold on to it? In case the princess is frightened..."
Xie Ying believes that although Zhu Yi doesn't understand the details of the affair, she should understand. Sure enough, Zhu Yi lowered his head so low that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
