"Sister, cousin is here!" Zhu Xiuli said again: "Cousin, sit down for a while, I will make tea for you myself!" He wanted his cousin to teach too much, so he had to show his sincerity first.

Zhu Yi sat on the chair by the window and put away the unhappiness in his heart. She doesn't think she is a sharp-edged person. Zhu Yi still remembers every word that Nanny Lin who took care of her when she was a child said it before she died—Princess, in this palace, you have to pretend to be smart and pretend to be foolish. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about.

For Xie Ying to Zhu Yi, she once couldn't control what she shouldn't think about, but it was only in the past. Therefore, she showed her usual smile towards Xie Ying who was walking towards her: "My lord."

Xie Ying's footsteps stopped in front of her: "Princess, can you sit with me?" Although it was a question, Xie Ying's gaze made Zhu Yi feel that even if she refused, he would still use means to make her agree, so he Followed him out one after the other.

When they arrived at the main hall of the west building, Zhu Yi didn't want to go in any more, Xie Ying gave her a look, and Tao Shan and the others immediately left the room.

Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi and said, "I went to Yuzhiyuan in Sangyang City last night, but I just enjoyed singing and dancing."

Zhu Yi said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to tell me. Where you go is none of my business."

Zhu Yi felt a force covering her back, and then she was pressed into Xie Ying's chest, and as he pressed her head forcibly, she heard a deep voice say: "You smell it."

She felt aggrieved for no reason, and desperately tried to break free from the other party's grip: "What are you doing? Who wants to smell you? Do you think you smell good? You stink!"

Xie Ying smiled and finally let her go. "Of course it doesn't smell like a princess. But I haven't changed my clothes since I came back from outside, so it doesn't smell like makeup?"

Zhu Yi avoided his gaze: "I said it has nothing to do with me."

Xie Ying still smiled: "Well, it has nothing to do with the princess, it's the minister who wants to report to the princess."

Zhu Yi couldn't help but glance at him, and Xie Ying still called herself a "minister"? When did he consider himself a minister? As far as he has the virtue of doing what she wants, he is the princess, right

Xie Ying said: "Princess, sit by Ali's side for a while, can you wait for me? Help me drink the tea that Ali made."

He said again: "The princess said I smell bad, I have to take a bath first and change my clothes." He leaned down and sniffed Zhu Yi's hair: "After all, the princess is indeed very fragrant, I'm afraid it will smell the princess."

Zhu Yi took three steps back to avoid him, turned around and left.

The moment Zhu Dai saw Zhu Yi coming out of the West Pavilion, she thought she was dazzled. She asked her court lady: "Is that Zhu Yi?"

The maid answered yes. Zhu Dai trembled all over, she rushed over to stop Zhu Yi who was about to disappear in the East Hall: "What are you doing coming out of my cousin's place?"

Zhu Yi said indifferently: "Help the seventh brother to deliver things to the son."

Zhu Dai looked at Zhu Yi, seeing that she was not at all strange, so she had to leave by herself.

Xie Yingruo didn't return all night, and he had to take a bath the next day when he came back. Tao Shan understood his habit and ordered someone to prepare water early.

It happened that there was no one in the main hall, and when Zhu Dai barged in without saying a word, Xie Ying was only wearing a pair of silk trousers, and her upper body was naked.

It was a masculine adult male body, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The smooth skin was like the finest silk satin that made people want to touch it. Every inch of the chest and abdomen was beautiful and smooth. amazing. The lower part is enticingly covered in trousers.

Although Xie Ying pulled a robe over her body almost at the same moment, Zhu Dai was still dumbfounded.

A gloomy look flashed across Xie Ying's eyes, Zhu Dai blushed, turned around and said, "Cousin, I, I'll wait for you outside."

Zhu Dai's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Although she had never seen other men's bodies, she knew that her cousin must be the best. Immediately pinched her fingers tightly, both shy and sweet. She was glad that she was still young, and she didn't have to avoid suspicion with her cousin, but she hated that she was still young, so many years behind her cousin, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to be his princess.

When the pottery fan served the tea, he glanced at the distraught Zhu Dai, and thought inwardly that something was wrong. She knew that the son was afraid that Princess Xizhen would be embarrassed when she saw so many people, so she sent them away. Unexpectedly, Princess Huaxian broke in by chance.

When Xie Ying reappeared, she was wearing a silk gown with a snow-white base and a round collar, embroidered with silver dragonflies and dark green curly grass. The beauty of the needlework can be seen at a glance, and it is made by the best embroiderer. The light-colored clothes make her look exquisite Good and extraordinarily cold.

Zhu Dai thought, when her cousin puts on the clothes, the feeling is different from before, but she loves it no matter what.

Zhu Dai pretended she hadn't seen anything before, and still said coquettishly, "Cousin, did Tao Shan tell you yesterday? How about we go for a horse race today?"

Xie Ying glanced at Tao Fan, and Tao Fan said knowingly: "Princess, the crown prince didn't come back last night, and the slaves also just saw the crown prince, and haven't had time to tell the crown prince yet."

Xie Ying said: "In the past two days, I promised His Highness the Seventh Prince to teach him how to box. It will be a few days."

"Oh." Zhu Dai couldn't hide her disappointment, she said in an ignorant tone: "Cousin, will you marry the princess next year?"

Xie Ying looked at her, but didn't speak.

Zhu Dai had no choice but to continue by herself: "I don't really like Xizhen being my cousin."

Xie Ying's fingers resting casually on the handle of the chair stopped, Tao Fan's complexion changed, and she quickly backed away.

Zhu Dai then called out her court lady as well, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, I heard that when Xizhen was still young, she didn't know each other well with a guard, and she didn't know that it was the adult guard who seduced her. , or because of her natural nature, the guard in the back died protecting her during the autumn hunt the year before last. The emperor saw how sad she was, and only then did he know that she had an affair with a guard."

Zhu Dai thought, the crown prince had an affair with Zhu Yi when they came out of the woods that day, plus this incident, no matter how seductive Zhu Yi's face is, her cousin shouldn't have the idea of marrying her as a princess.

There was no expression on Xie Ying's face, and Zhu Dai couldn't observe anything, so she continued: "Therefore, Emperor Father bestowed the character "Zhen" on her title, probably to alert her."

"However, cousin, you must not tell other people about this. After all, Xizhen is my sister, and I don't want to talk about her, but I am just worried that my cousin will be deceived by her appearance."

Xie Ying's eyes were bottomless: "I know."

When Xie Ying went to the opposite door to ask about Zhu Yi, Zhu Xiuli said: "Sister, come and drink the tea I made and left." He didn't dare to say that it was Zhu Yi who asked him about his homework, and he pretended to have a headache and rolled on the Arhat bed Make the other person angry.

Not long after Zhu Yi returned to Yuewang Pavilion, the maid beside Zhu Xiuli came over to spread the word that His Royal Highness Seventh Prince asked her to ride a horse in the back mountain.

Zhu Yi thought, Zhu Xiuli was always like this, he would play with her when he got angry with her, it was a different way to comfort her. Zhu Yi agreed.

But she didn't know that there was another person who asked her out.

The biggest difference in temperature between the palace and the Forbidden City is that the night in the palace cools down quickly. In particular, the horse farm is located on the other side of Jiming Mountain. When riding a horse in the garrison, the sky is not dark yet, and the cool air from the shade of the mountain comes out. If you ride a horse and gallop, the wind will blow your chest, which is much more comfortable than the man-made icy air in the house.

Zhu Yi also likes to ride horses, and her riding skills are excellent. Contrary to her usual cautiousness, when she rides a horse, she likes to gallop with the whip, pushing the speed of the horse to the limit. Even many men can't catch up. She is already light A beautiful shadow flew by like a gust of wind, often making people frightened, lest she fall off and break her slender neck.

The emperor did not shy away from saying this once: "There is the shadow of Qingrang in the past." Pei Qingrang is Zhu Yi's biological father.

What Xie Ying and Zhu Xiuli saw when they arrived at the racecourse was Zhu Yi who had gone one step ahead, but Zhu Yi obviously also saw them and turned back quickly.

It felt good to look down on Xie Ying like this, and Zhu Yi forgave Zhu Xiuli for taking other people without asking her permission.

Zhu Yi chose a tall black horse in the royal stable. She was wearing a snow-white plaid gauze riding outfit, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail with lotus petal gold rings. The color contrasts more and more vividly, especially the delicate red lips, when they talk one by one, it seems to have magical power, I am afraid that any man just wants to kiss and bite hard at this time, instead of listening to that small mouth. say.

Although Xie Ying never took his eyes off Zhu Yi's lips, he still heard what Zhu Yi said clearly. She said, "The prince is here too." With such a well-hidden provocation, it was obviously He is very confident in his riding skills, which is rare to find in front of Xie Ying.

Xie Ying smiled lightly, and answered Zhu Yi with a more provocative sentence: "Well, the teacher wants to check whether the students have made progress this year."

Pooh! She actually called herself her teacher. In fact, Zhu Yi learned to ride a horse at the age of seven, which was not taught by Xie Ying at all. But Zhu Yi blushed when she remembered that she was pestering Xie Ying for "pointing" at that time, and she couldn't refute too much.

Xie Ying confessed: "Ali, Shen Xingliu's riding skills are top-notch. You pass his test first, and I will teach you later. I will run two laps first."

Zhu Xiuli's words to Xie Ying were like Ruo Guigao, and he immediately agreed, besides, he also understood, and his cousin wanted to give advice to his sister!

Only then did Xie Ying jump onto her horse. Zhu Yi coveted Xie Ying's horse, and took a look at the person on the horse. Clasping her legs, the black horse under her rushed out first.

Xie Ying was not far or near behind Zhu Yi, and did not catch up with her.

The racecourse was purposely leveled out, and when Zhu Yi reached the edge of the racecourse and was about to ride his horse around a corner, Xie Ying's horse caught up with Zhu Yi like a thunderbolt, and the two horses rode side by side. Zhu Yi easily fished it away.

Xie Ying shot very quickly, and Zhu Yi was trapped in Xie Ying's arms. She didn't realize what this man did until her horse went to the other side, and Xie Ying's horse had already carried the two of them into the woods outside the racecourse. what.

"Xie Ying! This is outside!"

Zhu Yi was so angry that he called him by his name, Xie Ying smiled lightly: "Princess, don't worry, no one will let the horse run so far except us."

Zhu Yi's back was pressed against Xie Ying, and his two slender legs were firmly pressed against the horse's belly. The summer clothes were already light and thin, but because of the sharp ups and downs of the horse's back, they rubbed against each other. It was about to ignite, and his legs were squeezed so weakly: "I can't do it without anyone, you put me down quickly."
