Chapter 34

Views:

Naturally, the emperor would not really punish Xie Ying, and after a long while, he only snorted heavily.

The emperor ordered Xie Ying to stay with him, but he was not allowed to follow Zhu Yi back to the palace. And arrange for people to go out without a trace, saying that the prince is ordered to protect the princess, not actively follow.

With the emperor's remedies, everyone, except those who saw Xie Ying's smiling expression, believed the emperor's statement. It's just that Xie Ying is usually too indifferent to women, and he is a decisive overlord. Women are always attached to him. It's hard for everyone to imagine that he would take the initiative to run with a woman's sedan chair. Admiration and pursuit are not like what Xie Ying would do.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yi lay down on the bed, and Yan Yu'er and Zhu Dai sat in her room for an hour. Zhu Yi had been waiting for Zhu Dai to have an attack, but she only stared at her provocatively, but she didn't say any bad words.

People came one after another, Zhu Chuo and Zhu Xiuli came, followed by Zhu Jing and the princess.

After coming out of Zhu Yi's room, Zhu Dai's eyes were full of tears, she cried all the way and suddenly asked: "Yan Yu'er, why don't you cry?"

"Why am I crying?"

"Don't you also like my cousin?" Zhu Dai is not stupid. If Yan Yuer hadn't intended to be with Xie Ying, why would she always follow Zhu Yi and Xie Ying.

Yan Yuer rolled her eyes and said: "Is there any use in crying? If we cry here, Xie Ying will pay attention to us?"

Zhu Dai looked at her, and heard the other party say: "We have to find a way, let Xie Ying give up your sister, so that we both have a chance." Only then did Zhu Dai gradually put away her tears.

Sure enough, Zhu Yi left a window for Xie Ying, but it was only concealed and the lock was not locked. But Xie Ying never showed up, so Zhu Yi went to bed first. Because climbing the mountain was exhausting, she slept very deeply, and she didn't know what time of night it was, but she felt itchy calf.

Zhu Yi slowly opened his eyes, first he was startled by the shadow sitting by the bed, and then he was relieved when he saw clearly that it was Xie Ying.

Xie Ying checked her right foot in his palm, and Zhu Yi said, "It doesn't hurt much anymore." It was actually just a very slight sprain.

"Yeah." Xie Ying put down Zhu Yi's feet, and put a small porcelain bottle on the table: "Let Mianfeng apply this to you tomorrow, it's more effective than the medicine from the Tai Hospital."

Zhu Yi glanced at the black-glazed and silver-painted porcelain bottle, and it looked good from the bottle, so she agreed.

Zhu Yi soon discovered that there was something extra on her left calf. Above her slender ankles, she wore a string of blood-red smooth coral beads, which contrasted with her snow-white and crystal-clear complexion, and gave a strong impact to her eyes, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

"This is?" Zhu Yi put away his left foot and touched the coral beads with his hands.

Xie Ying said: "I will give the princess an anklet."

Zhu Yi felt that this was not a chain at all, but a hoop, which could only slide up and down slightly, so he asked, "Why can't I find the buckle, how can I get it?"

Xie Ying had already sat beside Zhu Yi, and said, "Only I can open this box. The princess will wear it from now on."

Zhu Yi frowned, feeling like someone had marked her, and she couldn't take it herself? She was about to protest, but Xie Ying asked softly: "Yiyi, when did you like me?"

Zhu Yi stared at him blankly, and heard Xie Ying say again: "Didn't the princess ask me last time, I also want to know about you."

Zhu Yi immediately forgot about the ankle ring, buried his face and said, "It was at the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the beginning of last year, that is, when you first came to Beijing from Weizhou, I was the first time I saw you..."

Xie Ying's mind flashed the little face hiding behind the eunuch looking around, but he thought about it deliberately, and asked, "I haven't seen the princess in the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square."

Zhu Yi's face was as red as dyed Xia: "You should not have seen me."

"Why?" Xie Ying asked puzzledly.

Zhu Yi's voice was so low that he could barely hear him: "Because what I'm hiding is to peek at you."

A man's deep laughter came from above Zhu Yi's head, and she felt ashamed herself, so she grabbed Xie Ying's sleeve tightly without saying a word.

Xie Ying said again: "The princess made the minister's chin bleed today, and she didn't feel distressed, so she can comfort the minister a little?"

Zhu Yi hurriedly said, "My heart aches."

"The princess's distress is just talking about it?"

Seeing Xie Ying's gaze fixed on her lips, Zhu Yi thought for a while, then closed her eyes and kissed his negligible scratch.

Xie Ying hugged Zhu Yi, and wherever his fingers touched, there was a heat wave. Finally, it stopped at Zhu Yi's weak spot, and with a slight touch, Zhu Yi turned into spring water, and even his eyes were soaked in water. Xie Ying likes to look at Zhu Yi's eyes at this moment, pure and helpless, full of style. His lips pursed lightly over those eyes.

Zhu Yi was curled up in Xie Ying's arms, leaning weakly on Xie Ying's chest. She raised her head to look at him in a daze. Absolutely can't think of what he's doing right now...

"Xie Ying, my feet hurt." Zhu Yi couldn't bear to beg for mercy again.

When she returned to the couch, Zhu Yi felt ashamed, and immediately got into the silk quilt, never wanting to come out again.

But he still said outside the quilt: "Princess, I haven't touched you for more than a month. If you didn't twist your ankle, I wouldn't let you go so easily today."

Zhu Yi wanted to cry but had no tears, so he let her go so easily? He just stayed silent under the quilt.

The man's hand touched her head again through the quilt, and left with a lot of satisfaction. After he left, Zhu Yi reappeared, asked Mianfeng to prepare water, and limped to the clean room for a little cleaning.

Fortunately, after Xie Ying left that night, he didn't come back for half a month.

Instead, a few sisters came to see Zhu Yideqin. Especially Zhu Dai and Yan Yu'er, they came here almost as frequently as Zhu Chuo.

Zhu Chuo looked at Zhu Dai suspiciously, is this person out of his mind? Then she quietly asked Zhu Yi: "When I'm not around, Zhu Dai doesn't talk cheap, does she?"

Seeing Zhu Chuo's face like an enemy, Zhu Yi shook her head with a smile. She didn't understand what Yan Yu'er and Zhu Dai were doing, but she couldn't drive the two sisters away without hitting the smiling face. What's more, people are afraid that she will be bored, so they bring her food and play leaf cards with her.

Mobility is inconvenient, time is hard to pass, and reading all day is not a solution. It is indeed easier to have these three people who always come over, play leaf cards, and talk.

When Zhu Yi's feet were almost healed, on the night when the ban was lifted, she came to the small garden next to the Liji Palace according to the agreement with Xie Ying, and was led out of the palace smoothly by him. Only then did she know that Xie Ying His lightness is so good.

Zhu Yi thought that Xie Ying was going to take her to the night market, but she was locked in the courtyard of a house.

Xie Ying said: "The princess is too weak. From now on, I will teach the princess to dance swords to strengthen her body, okay?"

Xie Ying's face was exceptionally soft under the moonlight. With his so focused gaze, I'm afraid that any woman would not want to disappoint him. Zhu Yi nodded, since Xie Ying wanted her to learn, she would study it seriously.

Xie Ying handed her a sword and said, "This sword is called Xi Guang. It is rumored that it is a saber handed down by a Taoist female ancestor. It will be used by the princess from now on."

Zhu Yi didn't dabble in swords, but seeing the beautiful hilt of the sword, the slender and thin blade, and the silver light surpassing the snow, it was really beautiful, so he took it happily.

"The princess is savvy at first glance, and her body is flexible. I believe she will be able to handle it soon." Xie Ying pinched Zhu Yi's face.

"Well. In fact, I have learned swordsmanship from others for a few days before, but later..." Zhu Yi was talking, remembering Xie Ying's inexplicable concern for Shao Congyi, and quickly changed his words: "Later, I thought sword dancing was not very quiet. I didn’t continue to practice.”

However, Zhu Yi's attitude of changing his words was too unnatural, and Xie Ying narrowed his eyes: "Follow someone, with whom?"

Zhu Yi thought that there was no way to verify it anyway, so he made up a few sentences: "The teacher who taught dance at Dishui Academy could dance swords, and I followed suit for a few days." Xie Ying's deep and difficult eyes made Zhu Yi feel a little guilty. It's as if she has mind-reading skills, able to penetrate into the small secrets of her heart.

Fortunately, Xie Ying accepted her statement, didn't go further, just sneered, and said: "It doesn't matter if you are quiet or not, the most important thing is your health. From now on, I will bring the princess here every five days, and you have to be diligent when you go back." Practice more."

"Okay." Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Ying said: "Since the princess has some foundation, let me practice first, so I can continue to teach."

Zhu Yi hadn't practiced for a long time, and she was already jerky, but she still drew the sword based on her memory, and saw that the bullying jade wrist holding the sword swung nimbly, and the skirt fluttered between turns, her figure was like the wind returning to the snow , the fluttering silver light drawn by the tip of the sword is as brilliant as fireworks in the sky.

There is no lethality, but it is commendable in terms of moves.

A layman might think that Zhu Yi dances beautifully, but a swordsman like Xie Ying can see that although Zhu Yi has no internal strength, she excels in lightness and agility. While wielding the sword, he moves with his own mind at will, unrestrained and unrestrained, which is quite the essence of sword heart.

I originally wanted her to keep fit, don't just write and draw all day long, my eyes are worn out. Unexpectedly, there is such a harvest, and a good seedling can be found. However, the seedling has grown a bit.

Seeing Xie Ying's deep eyes, Zhu Yi asked cautiously: "Xie Ying, did I draw too badly?" He didn't have the confidence to teach

It's not too bad, it's because of the unexpectedly high level that Xie Ying lost his smile, and he said slowly: "The princess does have some foundation."

Zhu Yi hummed, and said with a studious attitude: "Then shall we start?"

Xie Ying took her own sword, chose a set of swordsmanship suitable for women to practice, first rehearsed it for her, and then taught her move by move.

Zhu Yi saw that the long sword in Xie Ying's hands was as fast as furious, sharp and dazzling, and Xie Ying was swimming like a dragon in it. The unmistakable romantic implication is very beautiful.

Zhu Yiji remembered the movements very quickly, imitating not only his shape, but also his spirit, he was really talented, Xie Ying raised the corners of his lips slightly. Especially the little waist is so flexible... But he remembered that someone had appreciated and pointed out to him first, and the corners of his mouth were pressed down again.
