Pearl in the Palm - Chapter 46
When Ye Lizhu woke up the next day, he was startled and panicked.
The bed was in a mess, and the strange and strong breath enveloped her, making her very uneasy.
Her throat still hurts, and it was indeed too much to mention Xiao yesterday. Ye Lizhu touched her neck, and she couldn’t refuse only if she mentioned Xiao Xiao.
Although he was very angry yesterday, Ye Lizhu knew that she was wrong, so she lied to him and didn’t tell the truth.
But he still didn’t treat her rudely. If Xiao Xiao was rude, she might not be able to get off today.
While coaxing, he unquestionably pressed Ye Lizhu’s head.
Hai Tan came in early. She vaguely guessed whether the young lady had been with Qin Wanghuan yesterday, and wondered if she wanted to prepare medicine, but she didn’t dare to ask, just said: “Miss, do you want to bring water?”
Ye Lizhu said, “Yeah”, her voice slightly hoarse: “The water is outside the screen. Don’t ask anyone else to come in.”
Hai Tan replied.
When Ye Lizhu was bathing, Haitan also changed everything on the bed neatly, and sprinkled two handfuls of spices into the incense burner.
Ye Lizhu was soaked in the water and his eyes closed gently.
She asked Hai Tan to take some medicine and put it aside.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Lizhu came out of the water.
There is a big full-length mirror in the room, Ye Fuan spent a lot of money to build it, saying that girls love beauty and they need a luxurious mirror.
She wrapped a layer of flannel and stood in front of the mirror.
Her complexion is white, so any scars on her body will be clearly revealed.
Ye Lizhu’s eyebrows are exquisite and beautiful, with a little cinnabar on the center of the eyebrows and the dazzling skin of Shengxue, and the lips are brighter and fuller than usual. The corners of her lips are injured and torn a bit.
She applied some ointment to the corners of her lips.
After breakfast, Ye Fuan asked Ye Lizhu to go to him.
Ye Lizhu originally wanted to shirk, but she was worried that Ye Fuan would come in person after she shirk.
After thinking about it, Ye Lizhu got dressed and passed by.
Ye Fuan was wearing normal clothes. He sat on his head, holding a bowl of tea in his hands.
Ye Lizhu yelled “Father” and then said, “What can you do if you ask your daughter to come over?”
Ye Fuan said, “Zhuzhu, why did your mouth break?”
Ye Lizhu said: “I didn’t sleep well last night. I caught the wind and cold. When I woke up, my throat became dumb, my mouth was dry, and the corner of my mouth might have been accidentally bitten in a dream.”
Ye Fuan knew that Ye Lizhu’s health had always been poor, so he nodded and said, “In this case, if you are recovering from the illness at home, you should go back first and pay attention later.”
Ye Lizhu realized that Ye Fuan had something to talk about, and she said, “Father, are there anything you haven’t said?”
Ye Fuan said: “As the New Year’s Eve is approaching, you will not be able to live outside Beijing for many days and you will return to the palace frequently after you come back. The second prince is not pure about you. His Royal Highness Qin came to Ye Mansion three times and again. The idea of reconciling with the prince. I received a letter from Mingfo Temple last night. It was written by two little nuns, saying that they missed you and wanted you to live for two days.”
Ye Lizhu understood what Ye Fuan meant, and she nodded and said, “It is possible to go to Mingfo Temple for a while, so that I will also be clean. It’s just—daddy, I want to ask, His Royal Highness Qin is not married yet, how do you think he is doing this? Prince proposes marriage?”
Ye Fuan said: “He never looked down on anyone, my daughter, although he is handsome, he is really not a good person. You only met him once, and you don’t know what he is. King Qin is not friendly to others in private, and he is rude to others. , Who’s daughter marries him to this iceberg, she must have to wait on her own feet.”
Ye Lizhu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Ye Fuan knew that Ye Lizhu rarely mentioned other men in front of him, and now she suddenly mentioned Tixiao, she must have seen that side, and left her mind on Tixiao.
Just looking at Tixiao’s face, and his dignity and majesty, the prince and the second prince are beyond the reach, and it is not uncommon for the daughter’s family to pay attention to such men.
Ye Fuan said, “King Qin is really good-looking. If you ask Dad to find you a better-looking man than him, Dad really can’t find it. Zhuzhu, he is your elder. You can’t just look at people, but you have to look right. Are you okay, do you like you? You are young and weak, and these men who are fighting are scaring people with their swords all day long, and you can’t appreciate the goodness of our beading.”
Ye Lizhu’s face flushed, and she lowered her head and said, “You know nonsense, what do you like or not, I just asked casually.”
Ye Fuan happily said: “Okay, Zhuzhu, don’t think too much about it. Even if he is really brave enough to fall in love with you, Dad will not want you to marry a military commander. Xianzhou is definitely not going to go, mountains and rivers are far away. What happened to you will really kill Daddy.”
Ye Lizhu pursed her lips.
Ye Fuan patted her daughter on the shoulder: “Go back to take medicine first. If you want to go back and see Master Wu Xin, another day your father will ask you to live in the past two days and come back during the Chinese New Year. Master Wu Xin raised you so much. For many years, I have loved you very much.”
What happened last night was too uncomfortable. Ye Lizhu also wanted to find a place to be quiet, she nodded and said, “Okay.”
When Ye Lizhu left, Ye Fuan was pacing the room with the tea cup.
After a long time, Ye Fuan suddenly said, “When the son comes back, let him come to me.”
One of the servants responded.
Ye Fuan guessed that Ye Lizhu should be hiding something from herself. She looks abnormal.
As a father, Ye Fuan naturally wants his children to live well. Ye Jiayou is outstanding among his peers, but at a young age, he has an exquisite heart. When he enters the officialdom in the future, he will definitely be able to show off his skills and status.
Ye Jiayou is enough to support Ye Jiayou. Ye Fuan would not use the Ye family’s daughter as a tool to get more.
Crown princess, imperial concubine or something, whoever loves to be. After so many years of experience, in the midst of power ups and downs, Ye Fuan has never seen anything. He knows that being a queen is not necessarily happier than being a fifth-grade official’s wife. His high-ranking prime minister is not necessarily happier than the idle prince who has no power.
He didn’t want Ye Lizhu to be involved in the center of power and be slaughtered by others, and he didn’t want Ye Lizhu to serve her husband carefully with a low eyebrow after getting married. The glory on the surface is an unspeakable suffering in private.
Ye Fuan only hopes to find someone with a clean and honest family, preferably his own protégé, and work in Beijing, as long as he is gentle and handsome, and has a good character, and Ye Lizhu likes it. Although the life of the two is ordinary, they are happy and not disturbed by the outside world.
Ye Lizhu is simple in nature, soft and easy to handle, easy to trust people, and suitable for such people.
If in the future suffer the slightest grievance, Ye Fuan or Ye Jiayou can easily vent their anger for Ye Lizhu.
…
Ye Lizhu returned to Jingshui Xuan, and after taking a nap, she always felt sleepy after taking lunch. She stayed up too late last night and couldn’t hold it right now.
In the afternoon, she and Jiang Ranyi played the piano for a while. It was already evening after returning. Ye Jiayou came back from school. First, he was called to Ye Fuan, and then he came to Ye Lizhu.
Dinner has not yet come, Ye Jiayou has listened to the dishes for dinner today, and wants to stay and eat.
Ye Lizhu pulled him over and took off his heavy hair crown: “You should also rest in two days? It’s the New Year, and it’s very cold to go to school every morning and evening.”
Ye Jiayou said, “I won’t go in another seven or eight days. Zhuzhu, I have a friend who got such a big watermelon and gave it to me. Do you want to see it? I will send it to you tomorrow. Don’t eat it, you can’t eat it cold, and it’s novel and beautiful on the table.”
Ye Jiayou gestured, it turned out to be a big watermelon older than a one-year-old. It was December, and he didn’t know how to grow it. Ye Jiayou is the prime minister’s son, and there are many people who fawn on him, and he can get any strange things.
Ye Lizhu said, “Don’t bring it here. A big watermelon on the table is not pretty. You can share it with others.”
Hai Tan smiled and said: “Look, the queen, some time ago, the queen also admired this emerald watermelon.
Ye Jiayou was waiting for Hai Tan to take the call. He looked at Hai Tan and said with a smile: “Sister Hai Tan can speak well. There is just a powerful maid in my room. There is already Yusha here in Zhuzhu. Go to me. Do things there.”
The smile on Hai Tan’s face froze: “The servant girl was rewarded by the queen.”
Ye Lizhu also knows that Haitan can never give away, she said: “Your room is short of people, just let the butler buy you an obedient girl. Haitan has served me for so long, and I am used to it.”
Ye Jiayou took a closer look at Haitan again. Today, Ye Fuan told him that Ye Lizhu might have been bewitched by a maid sent by the queen, and actually took care of the king of Qin, so he tentatively tried.
A maid, where is not a waiter. It was more decent to serve in the prince’s yard, but Hai Tan’s look was worth pondering.
Ye Jiayou squeezed the tea cup in his hand and said, “Then I will borrow sister Haitan for a few days, Zhuzhu, and when you come back, I will let her serve you again.”
Hai Tan knew that Ye Fu’an had already become suspicious. Before Ye Lizhu could speak, Hai Tan said: “It is an honor to serve the servant. Since the servant needs it, the servant will work in your yard for a few days.”
Ye Lizhu went to Mingfo Temple another day, but Hai Tan could not follow. Outsiders don’t know which mountain the ancient Tibetan temple is in the deep mountains, which mountain the Ming Buddhist Temple is, and which courtyard Ye Lizhu lives in. After all, she is the prime minister’s daughter. Certain information can be disclosed, but information related to personal safety cannot be disclosed.
After leaving for half a year and stepping into the temple again, Ye Lizhu felt that everything had changed. The person here has not changed, but she is different from when she left.
Qinghui and Qingshuang two young nuns heard that Ye Lizhu was back, so they put down the scriptures in their hands and ran out to see Ye Lizhu.
Qinghui and Qingshuang were taken aback when they saw Ye Lizhu with a splendid suit and cloud-like hair. Qinghui touched Ye Lizhu’s clothes: “Zhuzhu, your clothes are so beautiful, what’s on your head? Let me touch it.”
Ye Lizhu smiled and talked with her former friends. Along the way, her heart was always impure, and she always had a face that appeared in her mind.
For a while, Tixiao stood in front of her. His face was cold and without any emotions, he only handed her a jade-carved little fox.
For a while, Tixiao’s clothes were messy, he was condescending, lifted Ye Lizhu’s chin, wiped the water from the corners of her lips with his fingers, his eyes were full of desire.
She didn’t understand what kind of person Tixiao was.
If she tells Tixiao, all her approach is only because of physical needs, nothing else. As long as she is temporarily satisfied, she doesn’t need complicated marriages… She shivered slightly when she thought of her cold face.
In Mingfo Temple, far from the capital, far from Tixiao, sleeping on the bed at night, Ye Lizhu felt that the feeling of suffocation and heavyness had returned, even heavier than before.
She recalled the scene of the two being intimately together again, and the more she recalled, the more uncomfortable her body became. It is a hundred times more uncomfortable than the daily tonic.
…
When Tixiao heard that Ye Lizhu left the capital, he only asked indifferently: “When will you be back?”
Hai Tan was instructed by Ye Jiayou to do various things in the past two days, and she didn’t know the specific news. She said: “Miss didn’t say when to come back. The slave and maid are here for the time being.”
Ti Xiao is clear in his heart.
He looked at the unopened wine on the sandalwood table, his eyes getting colder and colder.
After getting him, Ye Lizhu actually dared to leave, this affectionate woman.
When he catches her back, he must…
Tixiao couldn’t think of how to punish her. Even if she knew that Ye Lizhu was heartless, she just wanted to be happy with him and didn’t want to be responsible for him.
Tixiao’s slender fingers tapped twice on the desktop, the window suddenly opened, and two figures flew in.
“His Royal Highness King Qin.”
Ti Xiao said coldly: “Explore the temple where Ye Lizhu is.”
