Xie Ying couldn't ask for more, so he answered right away.
Zhu Yi asked, "Then when will you come back?"
"According to my estimate, it will be one and a half months at the latest." Xie Ying emphasized: "Soon, the princess ignored me for a month when she returned to the palace last time."
He actually turned over old accounts at this time? Zhu Yi choked for a moment, she thought for a while, one and a half months is indeed not a long time, but because the two are in love, it is inevitable that they do not want to face parting.
Xie Ying's next words made Zhu Yi froze, and he said, "Princess, I have found your brother." He wanted to leave Beijing, so he had to entrust Zhu Yi to Han Yunrong before he could rest assured.
Zhu Yi reacted, and asked with a trembling voice: "Really, are you sure it's my brother?"
"Of course. If I didn't find out the truth, how could I tell the princess." It was impossible for him to let an unknown man get close to Zhu Yi.
"Then where is he, and what is he doing now?" The world is so big and there are so many people, Zhu Yi would never think that it was someone she knew.
"It's in the capital. How about I take the princess out of the palace to meet him at dusk tomorrow?" Xie Ying didn't say much, he knew that Zhu Yi would not think that she was an official in the court, after all, her background was not in the court. secret. If it's someone from the court, why didn't you come to recognize each other so long. This point can only be explained to Zhu Yi by Han Yunrong himself.
"Okay." Zhu Yi squeezed his fingers together and tightly grasped the corner of his clothes.
The matter of Xie Ying's leaving, as well as her brother's matter, made it difficult for Zhu Yi to fall asleep lying on the bed, and did not fall asleep until almost dawn.
The next day, Zhu Yi was absent-minded in everything he did.
On the way to school from Dishuiyuan, Zhu Chuo said in a charming voice: "Third brother, have you heard that Emperor Father has been resting at Zhen Xi's place every night recently, and Zhen Xi may be promoted soon."
Zhu Yi nodded and said, "Zhen Xi is indeed beautiful."
"That's not true." Zhu Chuo whispered to Zhu Yi, "I heard that the queen insisted that it was Zhen Xi who used that secret medicine to make the emperor die, and he couldn't stop."
Still fighting to the death, can't stop? Zhu Yi almost vomited, she looked at Zhu Chuo, this little girl really dare to say anything? Zhu Yi suddenly remembered that in the inn, when she and Xie Ying were listening to the couple next door, Xie Ying told her that she couldn't die, and couldn't help but blush.
She said: "What do you care about these things? This is the statement that the empress wants to frame Zhen Xi, there is no real evidence." If the empress gets the evidence, how can Zhen Xi be fine.
Zhu Chuo said: "That's right, with Zhen Xi's appearance, why use secret medicine. Alas, it's exhausting to see so many women robbing a man. From now on, I will only be my son-in-law, otherwise I will let him Be a eunuch."
Zhu Yi couldn't help laughing: "I believe it." Then he restrained his expression and said: "A Chuo, do you still remember that you said it yourself, father will definitely marry us all to the feudal land."
Zhu Chuo was stunned and said: "I remember, but I have already thought of a way to make my father change his mind. I will not marry someone I don't like."
any solution? Just as Zhu Yi was about to ask, he saw a group of people coming up ahead, the head of which was a woman with black hair tied in a ponytail, a large snow-colored camellia with powder dyed on her sideburns, two peach-tipped hairpins inserted, her face painted with plum-blossom makeup, All the graceful and gorgeous concubines really have a unique temperament, but who is Zhen Xi
"Princess Xizhen, Princess Rongyu." Zhen Xi greeted with a smile.
Just now, he was talking about someone behind his back, and bumped into someone. Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo looked at each other and responded with smiles.
Zhen Xi frowned and said: "I don't know if the two princesses came from the front, but they saw my cat. It is a lion cat with white hair and black tail. It ran in this direction at first, but I couldn't find it in a blink of an eye."
Both Zhu Yi shook their heads: "No."
"Oh." Zhen Xi didn't linger long, smiled and said goodbye, and continued to look for the cat.
Zhu Chuo said suddenly: "Third brother, I always feel that the way Zhen Xi looks at you is a bit different from how she looks at us."
Before Zhu Yi could speak, Zhu Chuo said to himself, "I know! She is the kind—I thought I, Zhen Xi, was the most beautiful, but who knows that someone has more beautiful eyes than me. You have to pay attention to her in the future, do you know?"
Zhu Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I got it." She wasn't worried, it would be good for Zhen Xi to keep herself under the conspiracy of the concubine, how could she have the time to target her for a little comparison.
After the agreed twilight time, Zhu Yi was brought into a house in Xicheng by Xie Ying. She didn't know how many places Xie Ying had in Beijing, they were different every time. However, this place is just an ordinary residence, a small square courtyard, which can be seen at a glance.
Xie Ying said: "Princess, your elder brother is here first, follow me into the house."
Zhu Yi's footsteps slowed down, a little timidly close to home. Xie Ying patted her on the back knowingly, he knew that Zhu Yi lived under the fence, was careful everywhere, and never regarded the imperial city as his home.
Zhu Yi was nervous, and the people inside were even more nervous. Han Yunrong was sitting by the table, his hands on the table had long been clenched into fists, when he heard Xie Ying's voice from outside, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately.
Xie Ying opened the door and gently pushed Zhu Yi into the room.
Zhu Yi looked at the only person in the room, and the other person's gaze collided with her, with long and narrow phoenix eyes, a handsome face, and a dignified figure in a navy blue brocade robe, he was not a stranger he had never seen before.
If he hadn't known that Xie Ying defended her heart, if he hadn't known about Han Yunrong's indiscriminate reputation in court, Zhu Yi would almost have thought that Xie Ying and Han Yunrong were teaming up to tease her.
She held her breath and turned her eyes to Xie Ying in disbelief. Xie Ying suddenly told her that her brother was not dead, and then he told her that her brother was Han Yunrong. Everything happened like a dream. Xie Ying gave Zhu Yi an affirmative look of trusting him.
Han Yunrong looked at Zhu Yi, he had thought a lot about what to say in the first sentence, but when he actually met Zhu Yi face to face, he found it extremely difficult to speak. Several people were silent for a while.
Han Yunrong looked down at the ground, he thought that Zhu Yi should live a good life, but unexpectedly there was mud under the lotus. Xie Ying had no reservations about him, and told the whole story of what the emperor, prince, queen, and even their own aunt had done to Zhu Yi. He already knew that her younger sister looked calm and cheerful, but in fact her life was not easy.
Zhu Yi also buried her head deeply. She knew Han Yunrong's age from Zhu Chuo. However, she didn't believe that Han Yunrong didn't know her real life experience, but he never showed any difference to her before.
Han Yunrong finally raised his head and said, "My lord, can I have a few words with the princess alone?"
Zhu Yi clenched his hands silently. Xie Ying said hello, looked at Zhu Yi and said, "Princess, I'm outside." Then he left.
…
It was a few words, but Xie Ying waited outside for a long time. Shen Xingliu looked at Xie Ying from time to time, and found that his master wanted to push the door in several times, his expression became more and more impatient, and he was just trying to hold back. Shen Xingliu thought, only the princess can make the prince so impatient.
When the door finally opened, Zhu Yi and Han Yunrong walked out one after the other, Xie Ying immediately turned to look over.
Zhu Yi hasn't called her elder brother yet, but she has obviously accepted the fact that Han Yunrong is her elder brother. The atmosphere between the two is no longer as stagnant as when they first met.
After all, Han Yunrong is a person who has experienced storms, and he has begun to naturally call his sister Yi Yi, and straightened his position, looked at Xie Ying and said, "It's time to send the princess back to the palace?" He was afraid that Xie Ying would do something to Zhu Yi again.
Xie Ying: "..." In fact, he made an appointment with the princess today, and the princess will dance for him.
Zhu Yi hurriedly said: "Well, the prince will send me back to the palace as soon as possible."
Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi and said, "Okay."
Under Han Yunrong's watchful eyes, Zhu Yi was carried by Xie Ying and climbed into the palace wall. After landing, she said: "Xie Ying, I am very happy today. Thank you."
Xie Ying smiled: "Who made me your husband, naturally you have to plan for my princess."
Zhu Yi also laughed, too lazy to correct his self-proclaimed.
Xie Ying suddenly rubbed her face against Zhu Yi's and said, "Princess, go dance for me tonight, okay?"
Zhu Yi looked at this man, and she knew that he would not send her back to the palace honestly. But even she didn't know it, she saw the doting in Xie Yingshi's eyes, she pointed to the palace wall behind her and said with a smile: "Okay. When I... my brother is not outside, let's go."
With an older brother, Zhu Yi is naturally happy. Although she didn't call Han Yunrong brother in person, Xie Ying knew how excited and joyful Zhu Yi was when she saw Zhu Yi's smiling eyes.
Still arrived at the house where they had their first night.
Xie Ying gave Zhu Yi a bright red dress from the room, and he said, "Yi Yi, wear this and dance for me, okay?"
Zhu Yi shook it open and saw that it was a misty gauze dance skirt. The dress is very tight, except for the sleeves that are parted to the half of the arm, the rest, such as the chest, waist, and legs, do not have an inch of bare skin.
Because of the tight schedule, the new skirt was changed according to Zhu Yi's size. It's not a special style, it's just that the texture is precious, and the yarn is extremely light and delicate. But Joo never needed clothes.
In the empty courtyard under the moon, there are only two people.
Zhu Yi seldom wears bright colors, let alone the extremely gorgeous and intense vermilion. Tens of thousands of strands of blue silk are only tied high into a simple round bun, without any hairpins, only wearing a pearl headband, and five red treasure flowers sticking to the center of the forehead, revealing a smooth and flawless face. Her snow-white feet are bare, and her curling red dress is fluttering in the night wind. Before she even dances, she is already a flower fairy and moon charm that captivates all parties.
Xie Ying looked at the girl walking towards him and said nothing. It is so beautiful that it makes people fear that it is a flower in the mirror, or the moon in the water, and as soon as it makes a sound, it will frighten and disperse that unique shadow.
Seeing the man standing in front of the zither stand, Zhu Yi knew that the man wanted to accompany her. On the shelf is a black Nanguqin with ice strings and flowing light. Mr. Taiyan is proficient in rhythm. Although Xie Ying has little interest in rhythm, there are no weak disciples under a famous teacher.
Xie Ying withdrew her gaze fixed on Zhu Yi, plucked the strings twice with her fingers, and Fang asked: "There is no song, no dance, what song does the princess want me to play for you?"
Zhu Yi thought for a moment, then gently opened her lips to Xie Ying: "Feng Qiuhuang."
Xie Ying was startled, then looked at Zhu Yi and smiled, saying, "Okay."
She can dance any tune, but if Xie Ying plays for her, she only wants to listen to Feng Qiuhuang.
The melody was soothing at first, and Zhu Yi moved his feet first. The dexterous and agile feet explain what it means to grow a lotus every step of the way, stepping on the moon and flying against the wind.
The jade toe is seen when the skirt is opened, and the Xiashang reflects the condensed skin. When Zhu Yi folded her waist and raised her snowy feet high, people could clearly see the coral rings on her ankles, which became more and more blazing.
The girl then turned around and unscrewed away. The red yarn of the long skirt rippled layer by layer, like streamers in the dark night, red clouds in the clear sky, and burning to the horizon like a bright fire. Zhu Yi's beauty has always been low-browed and restrained deliberately, but at this moment, she is so beautiful that she is ostentatious and unscrupulous.
The fragrance of the waist is twisted, and the shadow is light and the wreath is ringing. Her fingers have blossomed into the most amazing flowers.
When the strings became more and more urgent, she turned faster and faster, the skirt turned into red round waves, and the whole person seemed to be flying against the wind above the morning glow.
After she was ten years old, Zhu Yi didn't learn to dance again. At this time, she just followed the music, relied on her talent, and moved according to her thoughts. Every time she stretched her arms and twisted her waist, she naturally followed her heart . When it is cheerful and vigorous, it is both Hu Xuan and Zhe Zhi, and when it is soft and twitching, it is both Spring Warbler and Green Waist, but it cannot be classified into any kind of dance, but it is ethereal and beyond the beauty of other families.
Every time she looked back, she stared at her beloved.
When the song ends, it makes people feel as if they have fallen into a dream for three lifetimes, and they are too drunk to wake up.
It's nothing more than a dancing world.
If such a dance appeared on the Longevity Festival that day, Zhen Xi's dance would become a firefly under the moon.
