There was a moment of silence in the tent.
Zhu Yi gradually loosened his fingers holding the brocade mattress, and then tightened his grip again.
Previously, she had been uncertain whether Xie Ying and that Gu Nanci really had a past.
After all, boys and girls who are about the same age, who are in their youth, and who are the daughters of their mentors, often live together. It is too easy to develop feelings for each other. So she said it intentionally to see how he responded.
But Xie Ying's first reaction was not to think that she might be given a marriage by the emperor's decree, but to ask who else would she marry...
Zhu Yi looked up at Xie Ying, sat up on the bed, frowned and said, "What do you mean I want to marry? Why am I in this tent? You don't know who I want to marry?"
Xie Ying stared at Zhu Yi for a moment, then put her arms around her shoulders, and said, "I know. I asked the wrong question, Yiyi, your future husband will only be me, don't think about it."
Zhu Yi avoids his hand: "You know that you still ask me this way, but it's because you thought of someone else just now? Is it because the girl you liked only wanted to marry someone else, and didn't want to marry you, which made you worry about it?"
Xie Ying frowned: "What is the princess talking about?"
Zhu Yisuo said directly: "What's the relationship between Gu Nanci and you?"
Xie Ying was silent for a while, understood somewhat, and said, "Who mentioned my senior sister to you?" He paused, and asked, "Xie Shao?"
Zhu Yi was taken aback, what's the matter with Xie Shao? But she didn't answer right away, as if she acquiesced.
Xie Ying twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a slight sarcasm: "You really met today. Gu Nanci was mentioned. It seems that the princess and Xie Shao had a long talk. What did he tell you about me, that I loved Gu Nanci ? The princess still trusts Xie Shao like this."
Zhu Yi reacted now, and looked at the man with wide eyes. The word he used was "still trust like this"... Did he know
Xie Ying also looked at her: "Didn't the princess know that Xie Shao was Shao Congyi? I saw the princess smile gently at Xie Shao at several palace banquets."
Zhu Yi took two deep breaths to suppress the ups and downs of emotions, and found his own voice: "Yes, I know he is Shao Congyi. He is my benefactor, why should I smile at him? Xie Ying, do you mean wait until you see him?" Your senior sister, you just keep a straight face and don't even smile?"
"Benefactor." Xie Ying repeated these two words, lowered her eyes and said, "What's the matter, I have never had any feelings for Nanci before."
Zhu Yi was relieved at first, and then turned into astonishment. She restrained her anger and said, "What do you mean, I just liked Xie Shao?"
Xie Ying was silent.
Looking at him in disbelief, Zhu Yi's heart sank completely. She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked out of the tent without making a sound.
Xie Ying stretched out her arms and hugged Zhu Yi into her arms: "Where are you going?"
"I want to go back to Beijing. Please ask your son to find someone to give me a ride." Zhu Yi noticed that Xie Ying's body was slightly stiff, and took the opportunity to push his hand away. But how can a man allow it.
"Let go of me!" Zhu Yi scolded in a low voice. She struggled hard, but the man behind her didn't speak like a gourd, but he didn't let go, he just hugged her even tighter.
If the other party doesn't let go, Zhu Yi can't do anything about it. Turning her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a bamboo cage placed under the table where Xie Ying was sitting just now, similar in shape to a bird cage, but much smaller, and inside was a little rabbit.
The little rabbit was about the size of her hand from head to toe, it was fleshy, and its fur was evenly soft and bright light gray, not the mottled gray of most wild rabbits. In the hare, it is really beautiful.
This is Xie Ying going out to catch her back to relieve boredom? How can there be such a small bamboo cage in the barracks? I'm afraid he made the cage now.
A strange feeling filled Zhu Yi's heart, and he was no match for Xie Ying's strength, so he stopped struggling.
Xie Ying said in a low voice: "Yiyi, it's my fault. I saw that you trusted others but didn't trust me. I was jealous for a while and lost my mind."
Zhu Yi felt sour in his heart, but couldn't help but sarcastically: "But do you trust me again? When I smile at someone, you think I liked that person."
Xie Ying said: "Yes, today is all my fault." He turned Zhu Yi and looked her in the eyes: "But you must not have the idea of leaving me again."
Zhu Yi said: "Then you can't doubt me, and besides, I haven't seen it at all today—" She stopped suddenly, and she woke up from a nap to see a piece of clothes outside the tent. She thought it was Sheng Ling, could it be Xie Shao? ? But she has been guarded outside her tent. Could it be that Xie Shao came, Xie Ying's people told him.
She continued: "I haven't met Xie Shao, nor have I spoken to him. About Gu Nanci... Yaoning told me."
Yao Ning? Xie Ying said, "I understand."
Both of them calmed down, Xie Ying sat down with Zhu Yi in his arms, leaning on each other, neither of them understood why it happened like that before. They simply cannot live without each other.
Zhu Yi suddenly asked: "Xie Ying, do you think your Nanci senior sister is beautiful?"
Xie Ying smiled wryly, Zhu Yi seemed to like to ask him if other girls are beautiful
Zhu Yi stared at him: "Last time you said you couldn't remember Zhen Xi's face, so you couldn't even remember the face of your senior sister, right? Then when he comes to Beijing some other day, how do you recognize her?"
Xie Ying lightly touched Zhu Yi's cheek with her finger: "Actually, in my eyes, girls other than princesses all look similar." I don't need to ask this question anymore.
These words finally made Zhu Yi feel at ease again. She picked at the silver edge of his front and asked again: "But before you met me, you were a great youth. It is said that it was the time when you knew Mu Shaoai. To your senior sister, I really love you." Didn't you like it at all?"
She had heard clearly earlier that he called Gu Nanci "Senior Sister" once and "Nanci" once.
This is still in doubt, Xie Ying thought about how to express it. When he was fifteen years old, he was obsessed with studying Qimen Dunjia and deploying soldiers. All his youthful arrogance was used on his ambitions, and he wanted to train soldiers who could look down upon the world. Man, he didn't think about that at all.
At the age of eighteen, he took over the political affairs of Weizhou and lived in the palace for many years. Only then did he come into contact with women.
Xie Ying said: "Princess, I was a little late to understand feelings. When you were your age, I only knew how to fight and kill all day long, and I didn't have time to think about girls."
Zhu Yi blushed: "What do you mean when I was my age, you are laughing at me for being too early?"
Xie Ying was amused by Zhu Yi's dissatisfied muttering, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, and it's not too early. If the princess is too late, I won't be able to get a wife."
There is a trace of worry in Zhu Yi's sweetness: "But we are not married yet."
Xie Ying also frowned slightly, held her hand comfortingly, and said, "Hurry up, Yiyi."
Zhu Yi hummed, leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Xie Ying, tell me, if you knew me when you were fifteen years old, would you be enlightened?" All girls are like this, they always hope that they are in love with each other. In front of you is a very special one.
"I'm afraid not. When I was fifteen, the princess should still be a short winter melon." Xie Ying said truthfully.
Zhu Yi's face collapsed, and he said in dissatisfaction: "I mean, if you met me now when you were fifteen years old, would you turn a blind eye to me like you did to your senior sister?"
Xie Ying heard that Zhu Yi wanted to compare with Gu Nanci, and said with a smile: "Of course not. The princess is so beautiful, no matter how old I am, I will not remain indifferent when I see her."
Zhu Yi's ears were slightly hot, and the corners of her lips were so curled up that she couldn't hold it back, but she quickly recalled that Xie Ying once... couldn't help wondering: "Then why did you reject me before?"
Xie Ying's eyes were deep, she looked at Zhu Yi, and said for a while: "Princess, do you really not remember or what, the sword tassel you gave me, haven't you given it to anyone else?"
