Pearl in the Palm - Chapter 41
The first thing that came to Ye Lizhu’s mind was that he would not marry.
She is so weak, how can a person with half of her foot in the coffin marry. Although Tixiao can survive for a while, Tixiao is not a person in the capital after all, and the two cannot meet all the time.
As for what Jiang Ranyi said about marrying Tixiao…
Ye Lizhu didn’t dare to think too deeply.
Firstly, it is a question whether the father can agree or not. Secondly, if she marries Tixiao for physical reasons, it is definitely unfair to Tixiao, which is a kind of deception.
If Tixiao knew that she was close to him, it was not out of liking, but because of her physical needs…
Ye Lizhu shuddered slightly when she thought of Ti Xiao’s usual cold eyes, a little scared in her heart.
Seeing that Ye Lizhu’s face was wrong, Jun said: “Zhuzhu, what’s the matter with you?”
Ye Lizhu shook his head and reluctantly said, “Auntie, I’m fine. I’m just worried that the young man will tell Young Master Tian what we have been here.”
Jun Shi shook his head: “Don’t worry, he has neglected his duty, so he won’t sue him easily. Tian Zhuo is also a stupid, I really think he can say anything in his own house.”
If it hadn’t been for the Jun family to be prepared for a long time, thinking about meeting Tian Zhuo in advance, so he came to the place Tian Zhuo often goes in and out, I am afraid that this person is so bad.
Ye Lizhu said again: “How do you plan to ruin this marriage?”
The Jun family definitely can’t let the Tian family voluntarily retreat. If the Tian family voluntarily retires, it is almost equivalent to telling the entire capital that they look down on the Jiang family’s daughter. Therefore, it is natural for the Jiang family to propose to divorce.
But there must be a reasonable reason.
Jun Shi lightly patted Ye Lizhu’s hand: “Zhuzhu, I will plan this when I go back. You wait and see, I must want you to see what happens to the people who bully us. Later you will be bullied. Yes, just tell your aunt.”
Ye Lizhu nodded.
In fact, she didn’t think she would be bullied. The Wu family who bullied herself was already so angry that Hai Tan didn’t dare to get out of it.
Except for the Wus, no one seemed to bully himself.
…
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Ye Lizhu and Jiang Ranyi were still living in a house outside the capital.
Although Ye Lizhu’s body was still soft and weak, she didn’t cough up blood as usual.
In a blink of an eye, the crown prince triumphed from Chenzhou, wiped out the Jinshan and Baishan bandits, and took back the head of King Jinshan.
Jinshan’s suppression of bandits could be completed in such a short period of time. Naturally, King Qin’s help was indispensable, so King Qin would also return to Beijing.
To celebrate the safe return of the prince, the queen held a banquet in Zhaoyang Palace.
Ye Lizhu and Jiang Ranyi entered the palace together.
On the way, Ye Lizhu probably knew that King Qin entered the palace the day before yesterday.
It is true that Tixiao brought the prince back the day before yesterday. Most people in the capital did not know that Tixiao also took soldiers and horses to Chenzhou, and the soldiers and horses were not one or two points, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses quietly concealed everything. People, from Xianzhou to Chenzhou, the two places are thousands of miles apart. After passing through many places, the officials in these places don’t know if they didn’t get the news or what they did, and none of them passed the news into the capital.
It was not until Jincheng in Chenzhou that the emperor knew about it.
Last night, the emperor hosted a banquet, and Ti Xiao took out the head of King Jinshan at the banquet.
Many of the present are civil officials, and rarely see a **** head. The emperor has not seen such a **** scene for many years.
Tixiao didn’t need to pick up the knife when he entered the hall. His treasured sword Chongyuan was placed on the case. He drank the wine coldly, and said casually: “The head of the Jinshan Mountain Bandit was cut off by His Highness.
At this time, no one cares whether the prince cut the head or Tixiao cut it.
Some civil servants had to stand up and praised the prince.
Tixiao brought a lot of soldiers and horses over, and they had been stationed outside the capital, saying that he was letting the prince learn to train. No matter how nice Tixiao said to the outside world, in fact, it was a threat to the emperor.
The emperor knew that Tixiao had no longer politely regarded him as the monarch. Xianzhou became bigger and there was really a war. There were really no capable generals in the capital who could do Tixiao.
He had no choice but to return the power that he had taken away from the prince some time ago to the prince.
A banquet made everyone feel uneasy, and the emperor had long regretted it.
Jinshan’s suppression of bandits was originally a set he gave to the prince, but he did not expect that Ti Xiao would come to help the prince and make this a feat for the prince. After finally cutting off the prince’s power, and now returning it back, the emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the second prince Zhao Yi, who was originally proud of the spring breeze, also changed his color.
After entering the palace gate, Ye Lizhu and Jiang Ranyi got out of the carriage. Because they arrived early, the two did not go to Zhaoyang Palace first, but took a walk in the imperial garden.
The scenery in the palace is naturally different from the outside. Many types of plum blossoms are invisible outside.
Jiang Ranyi loves plum blossoms. She is walking around the garden to enjoy the flowers, while Ye Lizhu is sitting in the pavilion.
Hai Tan followed Ye Lizhu on the spot, and the two palace men in the Queen’s Palace followed Jiang Ranyi, fearing that Jiang Ranyi would get lost in the imperial garden.
Hai Tan said: “Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the front palace today. The prince will be successful this time. Your Majesty will give the prince face, and you must celebrate it. The master also entered the palace early today, and we will go back with the master when we return. “
At this moment, Ye Lizhu heard a voice: “Miss Ye.”
She and Hai Tan turned their heads in surprise, and saw a young man in Jinyi approaching, it was the second prince Zhao Yi.
The emperor and the prime minister were playing chess in the imperial garden. Zhao Yi was going to greet the emperor, but he did not expect to meet Ye Lizhu in the middle of the journey.
Ye Lizhu stood up politely and bowed: “His Royal Highness.”
Zhao Yi calmly looked at Ye Lizhu.
She was wearing a plain blue dress with a snow-white cloak, her ink hair was hidden in the cap of the cloak, her beautiful little face did not see any smile, and her naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes were full of estrangement.
Since Zhao Yi saw Ye Lizhu’s first face, he wanted to get this stunning beauty. However, Ye Lizhu’s identity was different from that of others. He needed to pay some price to marry, and Ye Fuan might not agree to it.
Therefore, Zhao Yi could only look at it blankly.
He stepped forward and said, “It’s so cold outside, why doesn’t Miss Ye go to the concubine empress for a while? The concubine empress is kind, and she likes young girls like Miss the most.”
Zhao Yi wanted to sit with Ye Lizhu and talk for a while.
Ye Lizhu was inexplicably disgusted with Zhao Yi’s eyes.
Obviously Tixiao looked at her more boldly than when Zhao Yi looked at her, but Ye Lizhu didn’t have any dislike for Tixiao.
Hai Tan said: “His Royal Highness, our young lady is going to Zhaoyang Palace, do you have something to do? Let’s go first.”
Zhao Yi said: “I’m not busy. I haven’t seen Miss Ye for a few months. I want to ask about Miss Ye’s body…”
He was so focused that he didn’t even know who was coming behind.
Ye Fuan had a sullen face, and next to him was the emperor.
Ye Lizhu didn’t recognize the emperor and only shouted “Father”.
Zhao Yi hurriedly turned his head, and when he saw Ye Fuan’s face darker than the bottom of the pot, his heart sank and flashed to the side: “I have seen my father.”
Ye Lizhu realized that the middle-aged man in regular clothes beside Ye Fuan was the emperor. She also saluted: “The minister has seen your majesty.”
The emperor said: “Yier, Miss Ye, all of you get up.”
Ye Lizhu’s appearance is really good, and the emperor doesn’t blame Zhao Yi for being so rude. After thinking about it, the emperor said: “Miss Ye and Yi’er had a very happy conversation, but Prime Minister Ye and I came here and interrupted you.”
Ye Fuan’s expression was even more ugly. He said to Ye Lizhu, “Zhuzhu, men and women don’t get married. Even though it is in the palace, you have to keep the ceremony. How can you talk to the second prince casually?”
Ye Lizhu knew that Ye Fuan was giving herself down the steps, so that the emperor’s “talking together very happy” would fail. She said: “The second prince is a valuable prince. When the daughter saw His Royal Highness, she just bowed and said nothing else.”
Ye Fuan said: “Next time, don’t walk around at will. Fortunately, your majesty and I saw it this time. If someone else sees it, your reputation will definitely be lost.”
The emperor heard Ye Fuan’s words, and in order not to make the important ministers feel cold, he had to say: “It’s just a greeting, Ai Qing, how did you get to fame? Regarding today, I and Yi’er will definitely not let outsiders talk nonsense. .”
Ye Fuan eased his expression. He looked at Zhao Yi and said, “His Royal Highness, a few days ago, you asked your people to transport food and grass to Nanzhou from Wanzhou. There were some mistakes in it. The minister is about to ask you. Your Majesty happened to be there. Let’s talk to another place. Your Majesty, you and the second prince will leave first, and the minister will ask the little girl a few words.”
Zhao Yi’s expression was even more ugly. Ye Fuan made it clear that he was targeting him, but he just said a few words to Ye Lizhu, and it was normal. Ye Fuan’s eyes were smaller than the eyes of a needle, and he had to pick him up again.
When the emperor and Zhao Yi left, Ye Lizhu said: “Father, I didn’t want to talk to him, he insisted…”
Ye Fuan patted Ye Lizhu on the shoulder: “Okay, Dad knows. We all blame us for being so beautiful.”
Ye Fuan didn’t know that if Zhao Yi had been entangled, it would be difficult for Ye Lizhu to get out because of his identity.
He said: “Daddy will beat and beat him this time. Next time he pesters you again, he will be rude to him.”
The chess game between Ye Fuan and the emperor is over, and in two quarters of an hour, the ministers in the palace in front should be complete. He was also inconvenient to stay here for a long time. He only asked: “Be careful in the palace. Don’t just eat what others give you, and don’t talk too much to strangers. Have fun with your cousin.”
Ye Lizhu nodded, she was not a three-year-old kid anymore, and she understood what Ye Fuan said.
People often pass by this place, and Ye Fuan is about to tell Ye Lizhu to go to the queen, and two more people come to meet him.
It was His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness King Qin.
Ye Fuan let Ye Lizhu be behind him, and he arched his hands forward: “His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Qin.”
Ye Lizhu made a Wanfu gift.
Ti Xiao looked up and down Ye Lizhu, and then said, “Prime Minister Ye, is this Miss Ling Ai Ye?”
Ye Lizhu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao.
His face was as cold as ever, handsome and arrogant, and he couldn’t see any mood swings.
Ye Fuan was afraid that Tixiao would like Ye Lizhu, and he insisted on rationing Ye Lizhu to the prince.
At the banquet the day before yesterday, Ye Fuan clearly remembered the **** head that Xiao suddenly took out to scare the emperor. This person is by no means kind, and the daughter can’t go to the prince’s side.
Ye Fuan said: “The little girl was unwell and almost fainted, so I came to have a look. Zhuzhu, this is your Royal Highness, you should have seen it in the Queen’s Palace, this is King Qin, according to your seniority, you should call King Qin Uncle.”
Ye Lizhu saluted again: “His Royal Highness, Uncle Qin Wang.”
Ti Xiao’s eyes darkened suddenly.
Ye Fuan smiled and said: “The little girl is the most timid. She is only loyal when she meets people. She is not healthy and can only be raised at home. King Qin, don’t care about these juniors.”
The corners of Ti Xiao’s lips were coldly aroused: “Naturally not. The people at the banquet should be almost there, Prime Minister Ye, let’s go first.”
When she passed by Ye Lizhu, she had a faint scent, and there was a ruby between her brows. The gem was small, reflecting the cinnabar. Not only did it not look tacky, but it made the whole face look more charming.
When he walked far away, Zhao Yun smiled and said, “Uncle, Prime Minister Ye didn’t know that you had met Miss Ye. If he knew that you and Miss Ye had a tryst at night, he would surely be so angry that his beard would rise.”
Ti Xiao said lightly: “So curious?”
Zhao Yun put away his gloating tone: “I’m not curious, I’m not curious at all.”
Ti Xiao didn’t care about Zhao Yun, a child. He remembered the appearance of Ye Lizhu’s lips calling him “Uncle Qin”, but his heart burned suddenly, and he just wanted to bully her after he went back.
