Zhu Yi hurriedly came out of Xie Ying's arms. Xie Ying's eyes were cold when he was interrupted after hugging for a while. Zhu Yi begged him silently with her eyes, asking him not to follow her out.
Xie Ying whispered in Zhu Yi's ear: "You go back to the banquet later, don't follow to see the white ape, just sit in your own seat."
Although Zhu Yi didn't understand what he meant, he still said, "Okay."
When Yan Yuer saw Zhu Yi, she deliberately asked, "Sister Xizhen, what are you doing here alone?" She still looked behind her.
Zhu Dai only snorted coldly, she thought Yan Yu'er asked her to come over to see something serious.
Zhu Yi stroked her slightly disheveled hair and said, "It's nothing, just to get some air."
Before the three little girls had reached the banquet and sat down again, there was a sudden commotion at the White Ape, men and women screaming as they ran, and the sound of cups falling to the ground rang one after another. "His Royal Highness!" "Be careful!" "Protect the emperor—"
When the prince was watching the white ape, the white ape suddenly went berserk and attacked the prince.
The prince's left cheek was scratched with blood. If the prince hadn't been weak in martial arts, he punched back at the white ape while dodging, he might be caught blind in one eye. The guards in front of the hall were all carefully selected, and they reacted very quickly, and several people rushed forward.
The white ape, which symbolized the holiness of the emperor and the prosperity of the country, was instantly blood splattered on the spot.
— an ominous omen.
Recovering from the astonishment, the queen immediately shouted: "Quickly send the imperial doctor!"
The emperor stared at the corpse of the white ape, why did it attack the prince
The Yongnan Palace is now the prince's in-laws. If the white ape made offerings for other people, it might be a plan to frame the prince, but now the Yongnan king is very close to the prince. If the white ape's rampage was not artificially arranged, then... the more the emperor, the more he believed in the theory of destiny. The emperor looked at the prince, took a quick breath, and slowly looked away.
Zhu Yi was also terrified when she saw that Xie Ying had returned to the table by accident, so she stared at him. Xie Ying looked back at her and smiled lightly to comfort her.
As soon as this incident happened, the emperor ordered the dinner to be dismissed when everyone was in no mood to have a dinner.
The princess who followed the prince back to the palace was in a panic. The white ape was presented by the Yongnan Palace, and it was the first time that the prince looked at her with such cold and stern eyes. The prince thought back to the emperor's deeply suspicious face, only then did he realize that without the Xie family as his backing, he would really be a tree without roots now, looking at the luxuriant branches, he would actually fall if he said so.
The crown prince's side is overcast, but the other family is rejoicing. Both the court and the imperial court gradually felt that the direction of the wind had changed.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chongyang Festival. The emperor led his children and important ministers to climb the Long Live Mountain. The team was mighty and lively. Zhu Yi and the other princesses were still together first, and soon separated.
Because she was going out, Zhu Yi wore a cool satin palace dress with a dark green background embroidered with ruyituan patterns, and a jadeite fan hairpin as clear as water was inserted on her head, trying to be elegant. But such an old-fashioned attire, such a dull color, forced her to wear a lotus-like beauty, making her face more and more bright and clear like the moon, which attracted people to keep looking at her.
But this dress is really thin. One autumn rain and another cold, and the wind was strong on the mountain, Zhu Yi was blown dizzy, so when Zhu Yi saw Xie Ying, before he could say anything, he sneezed twice. Xie Ying frowned and squeezed Zhu Yi's hand, which was soaked in ice. He said: "Knowing that it's cold on the mountain, but still wearing so little."
"I didn't know it would be so cold." Zhu Yi quibbled, she wouldn't say that she was wearing this dark green dress.
Fortunately, Xie Ying asked Shen Xingliu to take the cloak, took it and shook it off, wrapped Zhu Yi in it, and hugged her to the back of a deserted rockery. He said: "The minister has no choice but to use himself to warm the princess."
The tone of the man's speech was very serious, and Zhu Yi's ears were slightly red, but Xie Ying's body was really warm, and she couldn't help but move closer to him. Zhu Yi threw himself into his arms, and Xie Ying couldn't wait for it. He adjusted his posture to make Zhu Yi more comfortable to lean on.
"Xie Ying, you are so warm. My hands are cold in autumn, and even colder in winter. Even if there are earth dragons in the house, I still have to pour soup every night."
Xie Ying thought, then someone has to take good care of Zhu Yi's body. With a smile on his face, he said: "When the princess marries the minister, I won't need Mrs. Tang in the future." He said on top of her head, "I promise to keep the princess warm and comfortable every night."
The meaning of being comfortable and comfortable every night is profound. Zhu Yi suddenly raised her head, wanting to slap his mouth that always belittled her openly and secretly, but Xie Ying just wanted to kiss her, and the sharp corner of the lotus heart and silver tinsel on Zhu Yi's bun immediately scratched Xie Ying's chin.
Zhu Yi looked at the bright red blood oozing from Xie Ying's chin, and was dumbfounded for a moment. She stammered, "Yes, I'm sorry, I was careless."
Xie Yinghun didn't mind raising her index finger and wiped it off. Seeing Zhu Yi's tense expression between her eyebrows, she pointed to her chin and said, "Princess, what do you want me to do?"
Zhu Yi sucked her lips and approached his face, blew a few times, and was pulled by Xie Ying to sit on his lap, feeling that Xie Ying's body was getting tense, Zhu Yi panicked: "Xie Ying, here No way."
Xie Ying also knew it was impossible, this place is not in the wilderness, although it is a secluded place, people may come at any time. Therefore, he did not act out of line, but just played with Zhu Yi's fingers and bargained: "Then can the princess keep the window for me tonight?"
Zhu Yi looked at him suspiciously: "You went to Liji Palace to find me? You won't be caught by the guards, will you?"
Xie Ying smiled and said, "No."
"Sister Xizhen, sister Xizhen—where are you?!"
Hearing the voice floating in the distance, Zhu Yi's body trembled, feeling like a haunted ghost. Recently, Yan Yuer is like a dog that can smell her scent. Wherever she goes, Yan Yuer will follow her.
Xie Ying's face darkened slightly.
In the next moment, Zhu Yi had already brushed off his cloak, and ran out of the rockery without stopping. Zhu Yi ran in a hurry, accidentally tripped over a protruding dirt bump, felt pain and groaned.
No matter how fast Xie Ying moved, he could only hold Zhu Yi in time to prevent her from falling, but the other's foot was already twisted. Zhu Yi was picked up by Xie Ying, and then sat on the stone by the roadside.
Yan Yu'er and Zhu Dai, who were chasing after them, were stunned. The two clever girls who were usually eloquent, now stood like two wooden stakes, staring at a man and a woman in front of them.
Xie Ying was kneeling in front of Zhu Yi, trying to grab her ankle. How could Zhu Yi be so close to Xie Ying in front of others, she hurriedly dodged, but Xie Ying easily grabbed her.
"Xie Ying, someone is here." Zhu Yi begged in a low voice.
"Don't move, be careful and sprain again. I'll see if I hurt any bones." Xie Ying half-forced and half-coaxed, took off a section of Zhu Yixue's white socks, and supported her feet with her palms to check the condition of her ankles .
Yan Yu'er and Zhu Dai are used to Xie Ying's arrogance and arrogance towards women, so how could they know that he still has this side. Yan Yu'er knew that Xie Ying and Zhu Yi were having an affair outside the palace, and she was a little bit psychologically prepared, Zhu Dai was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
Zhu Yi didn't even dare to look at Zhu Dai and the two from the corner of her eye. She pushed Xie Ying's shoulder with her hand: "You don't need to look at it. The imperial doctor will know it later. Let go!"
Xie Ying said as if no one was around: "I have to see it myself to be relieved." Then said: "It's a good thing I didn't hurt my bones. Next time, princess, don't run so fast on the mountain road."
"Cousin, cousin, let Xizhen go." Zhu De was more anxious than Zhu Yi, she was so sad that she was about to cry. Xie Ying actually forcibly went to see Zhu Yi's feet. If the elders saw it, Xie Ying would have to be responsible to Zhu Yi and marry Zhu Yi.
Xie Ying ignored Zhu Dai, and said: "The princess is like this, and she can no longer enjoy the scenery, why don't I escort the princess down the mountain."
"No, quickly ask Chang Lin to carry me." Zhu Yi asked Shen Xingliu to find his little eunuch. How dare Shen Xingliu go against Xie Ying's wishes and stand still.
Xie Ying said: "Princess, the eunuch is also half a man. His mind is no less than that of a normal man."
Zhu Yi was taken aback, it was the first time he heard such a saying, seeing that Xie Ying was coming to hug her, he hurriedly said, "Then go and call me a soft sedan." Xie Ying nodded to Shen Xingliu, and Shen Xingliu quickly left.
Only then did Xie Ying look at Zhu Dai and Yan Yu'er, and confessed: "It was I who suddenly appeared from the forest, and Princess Xizhen fell down in fright." Two sentences made it clear that the two were not having a tryst, but because of him. One man's fault frightens the princess.
Zhu Dai and Yan Yuer nodded obediently, expressing their understanding.
When the soft sedan chair came, Shen Xingliu also brought ice, and Xie Ying helped Zhu Yi into the sedan chair after applying ice to her.
Therefore, on the way these people went down the mountain, many people saw that Prince Wei Ning was following behind a soft sedan chair for women, not leaving every step, and even handing water into the sedan chair, and talking to the people in the sedan chair with a smile from time to time. . Immediately, there was a lot of discussion.
Because Xie Ying's every move has attracted too much attention. It's not just the noble ladies and ladies who pay attention to him, but the clan and officials who really pay attention to him the most. Moreover, there are too many people in the capital who once wanted to send women to Xie Ying to get closer, but they all ended in failure. Xie Ying's unusual attitude naturally made people care about who was in the sedan chair. Everyone later found out that it was Princess Xizhen sitting in the sedan chair.
Gossip spread quickly, let alone Xie Ying's gossip. The news that Xie Ying seemed to be in love with Princess Xizhen spread like this, and it spread very quickly and widely. Of course, this is something to say later, when the emperor heard that Xie Ying had gone down the mountain with a soft sedan chair, he immediately ordered someone to call him back.
The emperor looked at Xie Ying for a while, and said: "Shouxu, I thought you were polite!" Although the tone was not scolding, it was the emperor's worst attitude towards Xie Ying.
Xie Ying said without hesitation: "Princess Xizhen injured her foot. I was in a hurry and offended the princess. I also ask the emperor to punish her." How could Xie Ying not know the emperor's plan, but how could he let Zhu Yi become the princess? Other people's pawns, especially her beauty as a pawn.
