I Want to be Alone, Beautifully - Chapter 133

On the sixteenth birthday, Yu Ye asked Xu Jiao to go to court and gave her a golden bell anklet.

In this year of listening to politics, Xu Jiao could understand more things when she was in the court. She also saw the difference in power in the Dayan court and knew who was supporting Yu Ye on the surface. Those who conspired to overthrow her also knew who were upright neutrals who absolutely supported the imperial power, and who were actually her diehard disciples who didn’t deal with Yu Ye in the face.

This court is like a boundless ocean. The person in power drives a big ship, relying solely on the familiarity of the weather and ocean currents to predict the storms that will occur ahead, and then avoid these crises in time. Own boat trip makes it more stable.

It is worth mentioning that-

The actor Nie Yunyue, who tried to calculate Xu Jiao several times before, but was unsuccessful, was very quiet throughout the year. He never made any shots at Donggong or appeared in front of Xu Jiao again. I don’t know. Is holding a big plan.

Xu Jiao herself had no eyes or ears in the palace. She didn’t want Yu Ye to feel that she was out of control, and she had no interest in the calculations in the palace. One day, when she suddenly remembered this, she asked Yu Ye:

“The prince from the beamer…what has he been up to lately?”

At that time, she was drinking a small bowl of dehumidified mung bean soup because it was too hot in summer. Because Yu Ye looked at her tightly, she can only drink a bowl of mung bean soup for relieving heat and ice it. The cold air is too severe, and it is easy to hurt her spleen and stomach.

Blowing the small mung bean husk left on the soup surface, she raised her eyes to look at Yu Ye, but found that the regent did not answer her question, just staring at her blindly with those bottomless black eyes. Attentive and captivating.

Since she was sixteen, Xu Jiao has discovered—

This Yu Ye.

I don’t want to say that I ran to the East Palace too many times, and she always looked at her with this weird look when she didn’t expect it. She looked at her with hairy heart, but except for Yu Ye, she prefers to rush to the palace people to take care of her. Besides, I didn’t see any presumptuous behavior by this person.

But because of this, Xu Jiao was even more worried.

After all, Yu Ye’s character itself is different from ordinary people. If she is abnormal like this, if she has some thoughts, will it be more abnormal?

She hurriedly turned her eyes away, trying to pretend that she didn’t notice that Yu Ye’s eyes were too hot, but she listened to the other party slowly saying:

“His Royal Highness is thinking about him?”

Xu Jiao didn’t seem to hear the ambiguity in these words, and took the topic seriously: “Yes, although Daliang is in the bitter cold region of the northwest and is deeply harassed by ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, the soldiers’ combat capabilities are strong. , Is a good player on the battlefield. Now that Nie Yunyue is not as weak as the weak crown, he has been selected as the heir. If he finds a chance to return to the beam…”

“Don’t you let the tiger go back to the mountain?”

Yu Ye heard a little carelessly, watching her patronize and talk, but didn’t even notice that the mung bean soup in her hand was getting cold, so she had to stuff the bowl into Xu Jiao’s hand and watch her drink some more before making a leisurely voice. :

“I heard that he has been playing the piano in the yard every day and playing some lyrical songs.”

“Whether it is true or not, if he is safe, I will let him have a few more days. If he is restless, I can only end his life early, but no matter what—”

Yu Ye glanced at Xu Jiao’s expression, paused for a moment, and his voice was a little lower than before: “I won’t let him step out of Dayan’s palace alive.”

Xu Jiao knew that she was born again and understood the threat Nie Yunyue threatened Dayan, but she was worried that the male protagonist also had a halo on this occasion. Nie Yunyue was naturally talented and accustomed to figuring out people’s hearts. It wasn’t that Xu Jiao came to this world halfway through. With his previous understanding of Dayan, the prince who was held hostage by Yu Ye, Xu Jiao would fall in love with him when they first met.

After an unexpected reunion in the snow, Xu Jiao would inevitably develop a similar psychology when he saw the prince of the enemy country who was also under the control of Yu Ye. It would be hard not to get close to Nie Yunyue.

At that time, the probability of Nie Yunyue turning over in this big Yan’s palace will increase a lot. Even if Xu Jiao can’t be the emperor, it will be enough to cause Yu Ye’s headache.

However, now, Nie Yunyue has seen that Xu Jiao is not easy, and perhaps has heard the news that Yu Ye is very close to the prince now, and may no longer give Xu Jiao any idea—

But Xu Jiao still didn’t dare to rest assured.

She is in the light, Nie Yunyue is in the dark.

She hoped that the male protagonist would be able to lead a dog quietly and not cause any trouble to her and Yu Ye.

She had no feelings for the heroine and heroine in her pen. She used to be able to watch the heroine die in front of her. Now if she has the ability to give her a glass of poison-liquor for the smooth completion of the task, she can also watch her without blinking. Pour down Nie Yunyue.

…

Xu Jiaoping spent a year in peace.

Even the frequency of catching colds during the season is much lower than before. This is the result of Yu Ye taking good care of her.

At the age of seventeen, Yu Ye left a blockbuster message to Baiguan when he was in court on that day. The rough meaning is that the current crown prince has been in charge for one year, and the throne of Dayan is still hanging in the air for a long time. It is easy to cause unnecessary troubles. At this time, it is a troubled time. It is inevitable that other countries will find a chance to cause trouble. If the Qin Tianjian find a lucky day, let the prince ascend the throne.

As soon as the words came out, hundreds of officials stirred up.

I originally thought that the current state of Yan State, Yu Ye, was in charge of the government and had a puppet prince as a bargaining chip. Unexpectedly, the current Yu Ye was not satisfied with this. If he didn’t threaten the emperor to make the princes, Xu Jiao’s prince status could not satisfy her. Ambitious.

The censors who had stopped earlier began to play, and there were more guards outside the East Palace. Xu Jiao didn’t wait for the emperor’s three-request and three-resignation process. The matter raised by Yu Ye was like going forward. A bowl of water was poured into the hot oil pan, and Chaotang boiled for more than half a month.

In the end, Yu Ye killed some people before suppressing the opposition.

On the day when the imperial histories were hung out, Yu Ye came to the East Palace to eat as usual. Because of Xu Jiao’s pick, the small kitchen in the East Palace was even better in craftsmanship than the Royal Dining Room. Every meal was extremely delicate, even if Xu Jiao only If you want to eat a simple bowl of plain noodles, the side dishes in the noodles will also include bean sprouts, fungus, mushrooms, corn, greens, shredded radish…etc. The soup base looks clear, but it is actually the nutrition that has been boiled for several days. Broth.

Therefore, people who eat a bowl of plain noodles are hearty.

Yu Ye and other palace servants brought up their bowl of noodles, smelled the fragrance of the chicken broth, just picked up the chopsticks, and suddenly heard Xu Jiao say from the opposite side:

“Master Yu.”

Yu Ye looked at her, and the first sentence he said was: “If you can’t eat and sleep, you can’t say anything. If you have anything to say, wait until you have dinner.”

She didn’t want to defeat Xu Jiao’s appetite.

Xu Jiao could only use the chopsticks to eat the hot plain noodles in her bowl, and finally solved it. She took a sip of the de-tasting tea, put the tea cup back in the tray of the palace nearby, and watched Yu Ye put it down too. Chopsticks, then aloud to say what he just wanted to mention:

“I heard that Master Yu hung Master Yu Shi on the outer wall of the palace today…”

Yu Ye gave a “um” and took the tea. The glass lid of the tea cup made a slight movement against the wall of the cup. “It was not the time before, but they thought I had lost my mind. Now I should remind them. The heir I like, I must let her sit in that seat.”

Xu Jiao understood the meaning of her words, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: “Except for Mr. Yu, whose surname is Xu, everything else is better than what I did, why bother—”

She didn’t say what followed, but she knew that Yu Ye would be able to understand it.

Yu Ye asked her: “Don’t want to be the emperor?”

Xu Jiao looked at the flashing smile in her eyes and realized that her problem was not simple. Now she has adapted to the rhythm of Yu Ye digging holes in her words, so she said calmly:

“Just curious.”

She didn’t accept Yu Ye’s stubbornness, but Yu Ye wanted to let her know the consequences of this. He hooked her lips, raised her hand to bring the teacup to her lips, took a sip of the Longjing before the rain, and said softly with a laugh:

“I am not interested in this power as my Highness.”

“His Royal Highness is already a prince, but he doesn’t want to be an emperor. Do you want to know what happened to a prince who did not become an emperor in the history books?”

Xu Jiao said nothing.

Yu Ye must tell her: “They were all killed, because the identity of the former prince was too threatening to the emperor.”

Seeing Xu Jiao looking away, Yu Ye said again: “However, if I sit in that seat, I won’t kill you—”

Xu Jiao raised her brows and looked back again.

Yu Ye smiled, “I will ban you, after all, I don’t kill you, there are always people who want to kill you for me, so for your safety, you can only stay by my side forever, and I will do A golden cage, raising you, how are you doing?”

Xu Jiao: Just one word, I only say it once.

Without the nature of wrangling with Yu Ye, she got up from the table and walked in the direction outside the hall: “I’m going to read a book, Master Yu makes it easy.”

Yu Ye looked at her going away, with an unabated smile in her eyes.

Her Royal Highness seems to have grown a little taller.

…

The whole year at the age of seventeen.

Xu Jiao was watching the game between Yu Ye and his courtiers, interspersed with some confrontations with other countries, as well as domestic livelihood issues, such as the flooding of the ditches connecting the big river, and the new rice research and development site. I don’t know how the seeding will continue.

At the end of the year, when the palace was lit up, Xu Jiao realized that she was almost eighteen years old.

She was born on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, at the beginning of the year. I heard that the snow in the palace in the year she was born was particularly heavy, and the first snow of this year also came early, so it was during the Chinese New Year. At that time, people in the palace could be heard lamenting this year’s coldness everywhere.

But Ruixue is a good year.

This is a good thing.

Xu Jiao ordered the people in the palace to pay attention to repairing some of the old palaces, so as to avoid some of the old houses from being crushed by snow and injuring the lives of the palace members. He also asked the guards of the imperial capital to step up patrols and arrange for some unsettled temporary shelters. , And then let the rich and noble families in the city open their sheds to serve porridge.

In this way, you can have a good year in and out of the city.

But before her birthday, something bigger attracted her attention—

Yu Ye has agreed with the Qin Tianjian to hold her ascension ceremony in the spring of the year.

In the end, Yu Ye won the dispute with absolute right to speak, and praised her as the emperor.

When the news came out, the people in the palace around Xu Jiao became very happy. The steward of the East Palace announced that they would send big red envelopes to everyone this year. He was very happy. Only Xu Jiao herself was still a little unhappy until her birthday. Realism.

…

“His Royal Highness, the water will be cold after soaking for too long. If you soak enough, get up early.”

In the hot spring.

The palace man outside the screen whispered to remind Xu Jiao to take a bath in moderation.

Xu Jiao responded, greedy for the warmth in the water, and didn’t want to get up for a while, but she became drowsy with soaking in it. After all, today is her birthday, and the palace has been lively for a day, and Yu Ye will go down and bring it again. She went to play outside the palace, she followed the noise all day, and now she was tired, she leaned against the pool to sleep.

Halfway through her sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of water on her side. Xu Jiao suddenly opened her eyelids and looked aside, while she said:

“I’m done washing, I’ll be—”

The sound was stopped halfway through.

She saw Yu Ye, who was covered by the water and wearing only a silver underwear. His black long hair curled up, revealing a slender neck, as elegant as a swan, with extremely soft shoulders and waist.

Just looking at her profile, her majesty seems to be a bit less than before, without the black official clothes on her body.

Yu Ye raised his eyebrows, with a thin smile in his eyes: “Finally washed it?”

Xu Jiao: “…”

She moved aside in silence, got up to walk outside of the pool, raised her hand on the towel on the screen, and Yu Ye asked her behind her, “Why does your Highness rush away when he sees me?”

Xu Jiao raised her foot on the steps in the pool. Because she was lazy tonight, she didn’t remove the bell from her feet when she took a bath. Who knows the bells that don’t ring very often, but now because of her walking in the water, There was a string of clear and lingling sounds.

Xu Jiao was stunned for a moment, looked down, and noticed that the bells around her ankles were shaking with the waves of the water, shaking slightly.

I don’t know what the principle is.

Yu Ye also heard the movement, the smile in his eyes deepened, and then he said: “His Royal Highness likes the gift I gave you so much. Wouldn’t you be willing to take it off while washing?”

Xu Jiao curled her lips insincerely and said, “Forget it.”

Seeing that she was far enough away from Yu Ye, she raised her foot ashore, and the bell followed her movements all the way, until Xu Jiao’s wet footprints disappeared, and the water in the bell was quiet again.

When Yu Ye heard the movement, he narrowed his eyes, then looked at the pool in front of him, and said quietly, “It’s a pity…”

If it wasn’t for Xu Jiao’s ill health, she herself had been soaked in this pool for a long time.

She really wanted to get someone in this hot spring.

…

In the inner temple.

Xu Jiao changed her clothes. She yawned and watched the palace maid change a new set of bedding. She was about to fall up and slept in the dark, when she heard someone report: “His Royal Highness, Master Yu asked to present it to you. Birthday gift.”

Xu Jiao lazily said: “Xuan.”

Soon I saw the palace man coming in with a wooden box.

It’s a wooden box again.

When Xu Jiao looked at this thing, she thought of the gift that Yu Ye gave herself. When she was sixteen, it was an ankle, and when she was seventeen, it was a hair band. Now she is eighteen, what tricks does she want to do?

Thinking about this, she stepped forward and opened the box without hesitation, and saw a row lying inside…

Strange feathers.

Colorful.

From very thin and short, to very large and beautiful, there are peacock feathers, and there are other beautiful feathers that cannot be recognized.

“what is this?”

Xu Jiao is thinking about this guy who holds grudges, she doesn’t want to use this feather to tickle herself, how can the grudge from three years ago be remembered to herself now, is there anyone in the world who is more stingy than Yu Ye?

Before the palace man could answer, Yu Ye’s voice was from far and near from outside the hall: “Naturally, it is a gift for His Highness, because I don’t know what color and appearance his Highness likes, so let people collect the best looking batch. , Let you choose.”

Xu Jiao was trapped and dominated her brain. She sat on the bedside and said calmly, “I don’t want to choose.”

Yu Ye smiled, the candlelight in the temple reflected in her eyes, because the inner temple came out after the bath, she didn’t even wear shoes, and walked silently in front of Xu Jiao. She glanced at the feathers in the box next to her, and answered empathetically. :

“It’s okay.”

“If your Highness refuses to choose, I will do what I want.”

Xu Jiao: “…”

How can gifts be given like this?
