The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 63

Zhu Yi returned to the place where she grew up, the nine palaces on the top of the mountains and rivers.

She sat in the soft sedan chair and looked out. The endless Qiongying fell from the depths of the sky, and the continuous palaces were covered with plain white. This should be the most beautiful time in the imperial city. The white snow and red walls, crystal eaves and jade branches seem to be all dirty. Covered by pure fresh snow. In the night again, there was a glimmer of ice and snow everywhere.

Zhu Yi was escorted back to the palace by Rong Xiao from Zhu Ning’s princess mansion. The emperor declared that she had gone to Sangyang Dajue Temple to vomit. Xie Ying stayed outside the capital and waited for the soldiers who had not yet arrived in Beijing.

As soon as he stepped into Liji Palace, a servant asked Zhu Yi to go to Nuan Pavilion.

“Son, you are back! You really want to scare your mother and concubine to death.” When Concubine Tong saw Zhu Yi, she immediately led her to look up and down: “It seems to be a little thinner, it seems that she has suffered.” said Concubine Tong. Then wipe the tears.

“Mother concubine.” Zhu Yi only whispered.

Concubine Tong lowered her voice and asked: “Mother concubine heard your father say that you were taken away by Yan Fengqin outside the princess mansion?”

Zhu Yi said with no expression on his face, and said slowly: “Mother concubine, you must keep this matter secret for me.”

Concubine Tong nodded: “Mother concubine naturally knows that it is about the innocence of my son’s boudoir. How can the concubine reveal it to the outside world.”

She took Zhu Yi to sit down, straightened her hair for the other party, and said, “Son, don’t blame the mother and concubine for thinking too much, tell the mother and concubine honestly, what would Xie Ying or Yan Fengqin do to you…” Qian The meaning is to ask her if she is still the perfect body.

Concubine Tong hadn’t finished speaking, she was already stunned, and saw two strings of tears pouring out of the girl’s eyes, and an expression of pain and confusion appeared on Zhu Yi’s face. Concubine Tong tightly said in her heart: “What’s wrong with you? Yiyi, ah? Tell your concubine quickly.”

Zhu Yi closed his eyes and said, “Mother…Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin are both people with no conscience.”

“How did they treat you?”

Zhu Yi choked up and said: “I thought Xie Ying was a bit sincere to me, but in fact, this time I went out of the palace to find out that he and Yan Yuer were also in a private relationship… Yan Fengqin tried his best to match Xie Ying and Yan Yuer. “

“As for why Yan Fengqin despised my status as a princess and deliberately took me into captivity, I don’t know. But Xie Ying’s reaction to his kidnapping me was unremarkable. The two of them fought and talked together many times after the fight. , The daughter suspected that the two of them had a conspiracy.”

Zhu Yi leaned on the shoulder of Concubine Tong, and asked quietly: “Mother concubine, do you think Xie Ying is just greedy for my color and does not want to be responsible to me? It is Yan Yuer he wants to marry. And that Yan Fengqin, he treats me… at all Disrespectful, but said he would ask me to marry me in order to perfect Xie Ying and Yan Yuer.”

Concubine Tong didn’t know how Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin thought, but she was speechless for a while. Seeing Zhu Yi in this state, he patted her apostasy again: “Okay, my son, let’s go back and rest first, let’s talk about the next thing? Don’t worry, huh?”

Zhu Yi stopped his tears and nodded. When she left, a figure appeared behind the screen. Concubine Tong immediately stepped forward and said anxiously: “The emperor, take a look, Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin clearly just want to play with my Xizhen, I said, in our women’s house, how can we easily affect men’s decision… “

Concubine Tong wanted only the three major palaces, if Xie Ying didn’t want it, and Yan Fengqin didn’t want it… Then King Yong Nan and Zhi Xizhen had been ruined by both of them, and they didn’t look down on it. What should I do? Concubine Tong really wiped her tears.

The emperor had this speculation that Yan Fengqin did not really like Zhu Yi, nor did he contradict Xie Ying, but did a scene with Xie Ying to confuse him.

Concubine Tong asked: “The emperor, Xie Ying has been in Beijing for such a long time, and he is disliked by King Wei Ning. Isn’t it enough for Xie Shao to draw his salary from the bottom?”

The emperor shook his head and said in his heart that Xie Ying has his own ability to buy people’s hearts. Moreover, although Xie Ying does not have the support of King Wei Ning, he has the support of his two teachers. Sheng Xiao, the old man, was a treasure to Xie Yingbi to his own grandson. Gu Taiyan had no children, he had regarded Xie Ying as his son. The two men controlled Weizhou under Xie Ying’s army, and it was not so easy to shake.

The emperor had to leave, and Concubine Tong said: “The emperor will not stay today?”

The emperor said, “No, I will come to see Concubine Ai another day.” After saying this, he left.

Concubine Tong didn’t know if the emperor was going to cherish the place, so she gritted her teeth with hatred, but she had to say, “The concubine sent the emperor to the emperor!”

Zhu Yi returned to his Yonglian Hall and was ordered to send a message to Zhu Chuo, saying that he had returned to the palace. After she finished taking a bath in comfort, Zhu Chuo unexpectedly followed Chang Lin.

“You are finally back, third child, I want to kill you!”

Seeing that Zhu Yi was only wearing a quilted lake silk shirt, Zhu Chuo first took off his red and dark gold embroidered peacock and grass cloak, and then pounced on her, lest the frost and snow would invade her.

“Achu, I miss you so much.” Zhu Yi caught her, and the two little girls hugged her and didn’t want to let go.

After all, Zhu Ning was seven years older than the two of them. Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo are about the same age, and they have become playmates from babbling, growing up every year.

The two have too many memories in common. Together they went to Dishui Academy to learn the first poem, the first dance, and they went to the school to learn riding together. I share the same snack in the day, and love to drill the same bed at night. Even the ignorance of having a girl for the first time is to share with each other…

Although they are not sisters, they love each other more than many sisters.

“The third child, I will live with you tonight. I will let Alu go back and tell my concubine.” Zhu Chuo was reluctant to leave like this.

Zhu Yi thought that Xie Ying was still outside the capital and would not come to turn her window, so he agreed. He took a set of his own shirt and put on Zhu Chuo.

The two of them lay down on the bed and began to chat. Zhu Chuo asked, “Lao San, what did you wish for in the temple of Sangyang? Are you going to go so far to pay it?”

Zhu Yi pinched the tip of Zhu Chuo’s nose: “It won’t work if you say it.”

Zhu Chuo groaned, and suddenly said: “Yes, I’m telling you, the palace has been haunted recently, especially Kunyi Palace. Even the well water of Kunyi Palace has blood, and the garden next to it can hear from time to time. When the woman was crying at night, the maid in the Queen’s Palace ran out to see and saw the woman covered in blood, but the guards outflanked it and found no one!”

“Besides, there is always a shadow floating outside the queen’s window! After that, she left long hair, still white hair, but no one in the palace has white hair, horrible, right? The queen was frightened! Zhu Dai is fast too. Scared to death.”

Zhu Chuo suddenly asked: “Are you scared, Yiyi? Shake so badly.”

Zhu Yi was also scared to death. She was the most afraid of ghosts, but she wanted to hear that, after all, it was related to the queen, so she hugged Zhu Chuo and asked: “It’s so fierce, didn’t you call the mage into the palace to suppress it?”

“Of course it was called. A few days ago, the outside of Kunyi Palace was full of monks and Taoist priests, chanting the scriptures, it was very lively. But I can’t help it. The monks and Taoists were there before, and those ghosts won’t come out. Once they left, the ghosts He came out again. Today, another group of Taoists entered the palace.”

Zhu Yi frowned, saying that these evil spirits are most afraid of the emperor’s dragon qi, and even the dragon qi can’t be suppressed? The practice can’t be driven away? What the **** is so powerful?

She groaned and was about to ask again, when suddenly she heard a strange voice—”True, true, true.”

Zhu Chuo asked: “What sound?”

Zhu Yi thought for a while, looked at the side window and said: “The sound of knocking on the window.”

Yes, it is indeed the sound made by someone knocking on the wooden lattice on the window from the outside. But is it human?

Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo looked at each other and screamed at the same time: “Ah—”

The windows in this cold winter are thick and tightly closed, and it is snowing outside. Who will knock on the windows.

Mianfeng and others rushed in quickly: “What’s the matter? Princess.” The knock on the window outside had long since disappeared.

Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo were also gasping for fear, Zhu Yi suddenly rolled his eyes and glanced at the window. Could it be… Xie Ying came to see her in the palace? That’s not true, A Chuo is here tonight.

After a while, the knock on the window never sounded again. Zhu Yi just relaxes, it should be Xie Ying…

Zhu Chuoxin was even bigger. Seeing nothing unusual, he called Mian Feng to go out and continued: “Yiyi, let me tell you the good news that Han Yunrong has retired. I’m really happy.”

Of course Zhu Yi knew that Han Yunrong had retired, and she had met with each other after returning to Beijing. When Han Yunrong learned that she was going south, he also rode south to find her, but Xie Ying sent someone to persuade him to go back. After all, until the cause of her father’s death is found out, it is best not to let people know the relationship between their brother and sister.

Zhu Yi touched Zhu Chuo’s head, but did not respond or comment.

The two sisters talked about something else again. Zhu Chuo has always been sleepy, and Zhu Yi was tired on the road, so he hugged him and fell asleep.

There is no need to go to class in the dripping water courtyard under the snow, Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuoyuan want to sleep in late. Early in the morning of the second day, unexpected news came. The emperor sent someone over to deliver the decree: “The emperor has violated peace today and ordered Princess Xizhen to attend to the illness in order to show her benevolence and filial piety.”

Zhu Chuo frowned and asked: “Why did the emperor father break the peace? Also, why do you want Princess Xizhen to attend to illness?”

The **** said, “Princess Rongyu, the emperor is suffering from a headache. It is His Majesty’s holy intention to ask Princess Xizhen to attend to her illness. The younger one is only responsible for passing the decree, and the reason is unknown.”

Concubine Tong also said: “The emperor wasn’t okay yesterday, how suddenly…” She thought about it, she must be the little **** Zhen Xi! How noble is the emperor’s dragon body, how can it withstand her obsessive consumption!

Zhu Yi looked down for a moment, and the queen was ill… the emperor was also ill? She slowly said: “Mother concubine, then I’m going to my father’s place. A Chuo, go back soon.”

“Yi Yi.” Zhu Chuo La Zhu Yi’s hand. Zhu Yi patted the back of her hand: “Go back.”

Zhu Yi knew that Zhu Chuo wanted to accompany her, but the imperial edict was the imperial edict, so she was only called, and Zhu Chuoruo would resist the edict by following.

Zhu Yi’s soft sedan chair stopped in front of the Yanghe Hall, and she got off the sedan chair. Today seems to be colder than yesterday, the wind cuts people like a knife, the snow in the sky, the copper bells slamming under the bucket, and the branches of the snow trembling heavy up and down.

Zhu Yi is holding a small half-striped bun, the upper body is a short waistcoat with a light green sable chin, and the lower part is a dark green plain satin skirt. The outside is draped with a silver fox fur cloak with gold and color embroidered double-luan on the dark green ground.

The fluffy silver fox fur on the cape and hat made Zhu Yi’s face appear smaller and smaller. The cold wind did not damage the snow-white skin that broke when the bullet was blown. The blush of the cheeks was dizzy, like the most touching touch of peach blossom tip. .

Zhu Yi raised his eyes, and saw the prince standing in front of him, looking straight at herself. She was taken aback and said: “Brother Emperor.”

The prince sneered. Zhu Yi just looked like Yu Jie and ice clear. I don’t know how many times she has been under Xie Ying.

The prince said: “Xizhen is here, just follow me in. Father has been waiting for you for a while.”
