The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 126
The old princess Mu deliberately said Gu Nanci ahead, because she felt that whether Xie Ying was for Gu Taiyan’s face or Gu Nanci’s sake, she would have a place in the palace behind. Starting with her, Xie Ying would be easier to accept Zhu Dai.
“Nan Ci has waited for you for so many years after all. If you accept her, you will be able to explain to her and Mr. Gu.”
Xie Ying’s expression has not changed, her eyes have condensed. He said: “Grandma said cautiously that Gu Nanci was married before, and only reconciled with her husband. Why wait for me to say.”
“Why did she stay with each other? A Ying doesn’t know the reason? Or…”
The old princess Mu was interrupted by the sound of Xie Ying, who put aside the tea cup, and watched him suddenly get up.
The old princess Mu was shocked, she unexpectedly just mentioned Xie Yingna’s concubine, and the other party reacted so much.
Xie Ying’s voice is not high: “Grandma is getting older. It is important to take care of your body. Don’t bother about my business. I don’t want to hear similar words again, let alone allow them to pass into the ears of the princess. Princess. I just struggled with my life and gave birth to a son, and I hope my grandmother will not let me be a kind and unrighteous person.”
“I…this is also for your sake!” The old princess Mu did not expect that he would even perfuse her and behave.
Xie Ying pulled out a slightly ironic smile at the corner of her mouth, and said: “No matter who is in the Xie family, grandmother can be honored. You don’t want to wade into the muddy water by yourself.”
The last sentence is really very rude.
However, the old princess Mu could only watch him say “Grandson’s goodbye” and then turned and left. The old lady’s heart burst into an anger, making her eyes dark and almost fainting. Wang Wei Ning has always been obedient in front of her, and a grandchild of Xie Ying treated her like this. The maidservants around were busy holding on to the old princess Mu, all hanging their heads afraid to say a word.
The old princess Mu originally thought that as long as she guaranteed Zhu Yi’s status as the mistress, she said that she would be sure about accepting concubines, but at this time she could only call her heartache again and again, and she could do nothing about Xie Ying.
Regardless of the chaos in the North Courtyard, Xie Ying returned to Lushi Courtyard on his own.
Zhu Yi was awake, and the two talked for a while. Zhu Yi joked to cover up his loss of not seeing Xie Ying when he woke up, and said: “I thought you saw me and Arong, so you went to Beijing again.”
Xie Ying said: “Why? I will stay until Yiyi comes out of the moon, and then take you and Arong to Beijing together.”
Zhu Yi was taken aback, and then smiled in surprise: “Really?” She thought Xie Ying was going to leave for a few days.
“Well. The weather is bad now, your body is not allowed, and the forbidden city is being renovated. It will be just right when you are out of the month.” Zhu Yi mother and son are too far away from him, he is not relieved after all. Being called so by the old princess Mu further strengthened his determination.
He said again: “Zhu Ning will also go to Beijing. You will not be bored if you have her and Zhu Chuo with you.”
“Eldest sister go to Beijing too?” Zhu Yi was even happier when he heard this. Then he frowned: “But, in case the Yan family invades the capital during this period, if they pull Zhu Xiujing as the flag, the restoration of the Zhu family is justified…” Xie Ying led soldiers to replace the Yongnan palace. Isn’t it a marriage for the Yan family?
Xie Ying said: “The Yan family will not attack Zhongzhou for the time being. King Jinghai is lost. The Yan family is fighting internally.”
It was originally a good time for Xie Ying to attack Jingzhou in one go. In spite of the opposition of the general public, he was determined to rush back to Weizhou, just because Zhu Yi was about to give birth. A woman giving birth is the most dangerous moment in her life, and there are people in the palace who are wondering about Zhu Yi.
Xie Ying almost didn’t think about it, so he gave up fighting Jingzhou and chose to return to Weizhou. If Zhu Yi had an accident, then it would make sense for him to lay down the country. The thought that Ju Yi was also missing him, he wanted to return to her immediately.
Zhu Yi was startled, and surprised her even more than the news of Jing Haiwang’s death. It was Yan Jiaran who was fighting…
“Isn’t Jinghai King only having Yan Fengqin as a son? Who fights with him?”
Xie Ying replied: “It was Yan Yuer and Zhu Xiujing who formed a party and were fighting for power with Yan Fengqin.”
Zhu Yi was even more surprised: “Yan Yuer’s brother is not Yan Fengqin? Why does she help Achuo’s brother Zhu Xiujing?”
The man said slowly: “I don’t know this.”
Zhu Yi didn’t really believe that Xie Ying didn’t know the reason, but after she asked, she immediately remembered that she had seen Yan Fengqin and Yan Yu’er face each other in Qinzhou last time.
“But how could Yan Fengqin give Yan Yu’er and the others a chance to initiate an internal fight?”
Xie Ying simply said: “Yan Yuer is a crazy person.”
Zhu Yi always felt that when Xie Ying answered her questions about Jingzhou, he always said half and half, as if there were some things he didn’t want to disclose to her completely. But it was Yan Fengqin, she couldn’t ask too much, lest he had any thoughts.
Wu Feitu left, and a month passed quickly.
Because Zhu Yi had exercised a lot before, he ate more intensively during his confinement period and recovered very well.
She has never tried not going out for a whole month. Just after the Spring Festival, the lanterns on the street had not been removed. Xie Ying knew that she was panicking, and took her to the street to visit the bright spring night of Weiyuan City.
Tomorrow is about to leave for Beijing. After Zhu Yi commanded everyone to clean up the details, he said, “The Lushiyuan is so beautiful, I really can’t bear to leave.”
In fact, she is reluctant to part with her new house. Zhu Yi stood under the mica canopy specially built for her by Xie Ying. The raindrops fell on the top of the transparent mica screen, splashing water, and the courtyard was tender red and green, and the spring was full of water.
“We can come back in the future.” Xie Ying comforted her. Then he said, “I have something to discuss with Yiyi.”
The two returned to Arong’s bed, and Zhu Yi asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Yi Yi also knows what the purpose of my battle is. In order to avoid A Li’s future embarrassment, A Li must change his surname to Xie from now on.” Xie Ying did not tell Zhu Yi how old he was. Under pressure, Zhu Xiuli’s life was saved from the hands of Gu Taiyan and Sheng Xiao. Killing Zhu Xiuli secretly was the unanimous opinion of his two teachers.
Zhu Yi just thought for a moment, then said: “Okay, I will persuade Ali.”
She has always been grateful for Xie Ying’s willingness to keep Zhu Xiuli’s life, instead of letting Zhu Xiuli die for “unexplained reasons”. Xie Ying understands even if she doesn’t say anything, if someone claims that the orthodox bloodline of the Zhu Dynasty is still alive, Zhu Xiuli makes Xie Ying’s reaction, even if Xie Ying is capable of suppressing it, it will be troublesome after all. Most people will choose to cut the weeds and roots.
Zhu Yi took Xie Ying’s hand and said, “Thank you, husband.”
The man glanced at her. When I thank you, I call my husband, and I usually call my name. I didn’t like Zhu Yi to say thank you, but the word “husband” was called out by her voice, which made him feel really comfortable, and said: “Just verbally thank you?”
Zhu Yi knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at his eyes. He took the initiative to climb Xie Ying’s shoulders and kissed the other person, using what he learned from him, from shallow to deep, with a long kiss. She didn’t let him go until her cheeks turned red and she panted slightly.
Xie Ying closed his eyes and passively enjoyed it before saying: “This is still oral.”
Zhu Yi was stunned, and turned around to tidy up his son’s quilt, pretending to not hear.
However, he was held back by the man with his arms around her waist, and he restrained her freedom: “Yiyi, can you help me?”
The hot temperature behind Zhu Yi is showing his strong possessiveness. After understanding his suggestion, she glanced at the sleeping child, slightly embarrassed: “What if Arong wakes up later, what do you do with your own hands?”
Xie Ying said, “How is it the same? I like Yiyi’s hands.” I added in my heart, Yiyi’s hands are small and smooth, soft and boneless, can they feel the same as his own hands? He coaxed: “Arong just slept, how can he wake up like this?”
Zhu Yi’s eyes stuck to Ah Rong’s face, still hesitating.
“Then let’s go to the clean room.” Xie Ying meant to take a step back and vowed not to stop until the goal was reached. Speaking of telling me to come in Wenyan and the two wet nurses to guard his son, the son’s mother was taken into the clean room and let him do anything wrong…
Xie Yingben wanted to bring the princess to Beijing this time, but was rejected by the other party.
The group arrived in the capital in the spring of February.
Zhu Yimu stood under the red wall of Miyagi with Nuanyang, smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms protruding along the roots of the wall. Although he had only left here for more than a year, seeing the familiar scenery, he felt like a world away.
As soon as Xie Ying entered Beijing, she did not accompany her and Ah Rong in their leisure time in Chengri, Weizhou. One day back, the two met only in the evening.
It took a few days to get together and stay together. But no matter how late, Xie Ying will always return to the mother and son. Everything is difficult at first, Zhu Yi also understands.
News came soon.
The Yan family’s troops were divided into two groups, heading for the Central Plains from the east.
Xie Shao led the troops back from the south, and did not return to Weizhou, but went straight to the capital.
