After living again for nearly a month, Zhu Scarlett's sense of humiliation burst out at this moment.
She chose her own path, and if someone broke her teeth, she would have to swallow it in her stomach.
Although she was fully clothed, she was the one between them who was really not qualified to put on clothes when faced with Yan Xiu, who did not touch even a single strand of clothing.
The water was very warm, but she felt bitingly cold.
When Yan Xiu is really angry, he is extremely calm, just like one flash flood brewing after another. Even a small draft can cause him to devour everything.
She kept shivering in the water, and even her lips trembled. The color on her face faded, and her tears poured down like a broken dam.
The emperor's scrutiny and pressure were never lacking from the beginning to the end.
So what if she lives a lifetime longer than the person in front of her? So what if she could see everything in the future?
Her two lifetimes of combined experience, vision, and abilities are completely incomparable to a man who has been trained according to the standards of an empire master since he was a child.
How could she compete with him?
Zhu Scarlett couldn't stop her tears.
She knew that Yan Xiu was suspicious, but she never thought that he would be so uncertain.
It was obvious that she had done nothing wrong, it was obviously Alerhon who bumped into her on purpose, it was obviously Yan Xing who took the initiative to approach her, but how could a man in this world be wrong? The only one who is at fault is her.
Zhu Sijia didn't even know how hoarse her voice was when she answered his words: "I obey my orders..."
She was still unconvinced and explained with choked sobs: "Your Majesty, please be aware that it was not my concubine who took the initiative to approach King Yi."
Yan Xiu panicked.
When he dealt with the most difficult political affairs and faced the most painful battlefields, he had never been so panicked.
No one had ever told him that the tears shed by a woman after being wronged had the power to kill people. The moment her tears fell, it was as if he had thrown away his armor and gone into battle to fight the enemy with his bare hands.
The series of questions that were ready to be asked were quickly cleared up.
He remembered what Yan Xing and Li Woyun said to him during the day.
"Beautiful wish, this may be the biggest chess piece that Prince Yan's palace has placed beside you."
"Now the situation in the court is facing a huge change. The enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark. Before the next storm comes, His Majesty will directly subvert their safe haven."
"In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor's throne is inherited by nature, but the hard work involved, the emperor himself knows best."
"Your Majesty, you still remember that when King Yi was able to write at the age of five and composed poems at the age of seven, Concubine Chen was the favorite of the harem for many years. In addition, the Chen family was weak, and the late emperor repeatedly tested the ministers on establishing a new crown prince."
But in this situation, if he continues to be aggressive...
Yan Xiu wiped the tears from her face, still maintaining a condescending attitude, but this time he lowered his eyes: "I have made you suffer."
This is already the biggest concession he has made as an emperor.
Zhu Sijia smiled sadly and rubbed it into his hand: "It's my concubine who didn't let His Majesty worry."
That night, Zhu Scarlett chose not to sleep as always.
Just such an accidental contact with Yan Xing could make Yan Xiu feel that his royal authority was offended.
She is Yan Xiu's private property. Everything about her belongs to Yan Xiu. How can Yan Xiu tolerate others coveting her?
If she really called out Yan Xing's name in her sleep, wouldn't it confirm that she had an unforgettable love for Yan Xing?
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, even if you take off the luminous pearls and extinguish the candles at night, the moonlight will sneak into the tent and illuminate every corner clearly.
Zhu Sijia turned over slightly, but unexpectedly Yan Xiu hugged her and said softly: "Go to sleep."
He didn't even fall asleep.
…
There are still three days until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Naturally, Scarlett cannot be idle during these three days.
She deliberately avoided Yan Xiu for fear of getting into trouble with him, so she frequently moved between the camps, trying to make friends with the princesses of Da Qin.
There are currently five princesses in the Qin Dynasty. All the princesses have grown up, so they got married early. The one who was most loved by the late emperor and respected by Yan Xiu was the eldest princess Zhaohua.
Princess Zhaohua was only twenty years old, but she was already the mother of a pair of four-year-old twins. It was extremely easy to gain her appreciation. All she had to do was win the love of her sons and daughters.
I wish Scarlett personally made a plate of Northland specialty cheese snacks and came to visit.
She learned this kind of snack from the old cook at Zhuangzi when she was in Beidi.
Although it is the most common sweet in the North, when made according to the old chef's unique secret recipe, it not only does not have the smell of goat's milk, but is also extremely sweet, appetizing and strengthening the spleen.
If you want to ask what Princess Zhaohua is most worried about, it is that her two children never like to eat and are much smaller than other children of the same age.
When the pair of children were taken out, everyone would ask her whether the cooks in the princess's house were not good at cooking.
"Your Highness the Princess, this is a snack made by my own hands. I think both the daughter and the son will like it. I hope you will accept it."
Zhu Sijia opened the food box, and a fragrant smell hit her face.
Zhaohua has seen so many delicacies and delicacies. Normally, this kind of snow-white, inconspicuous snack would not catch her eye, but——
The stunning woman in front of him was now favored by Yan Xiu alone. For Yan Xiu's sake, Zhaohua accepted the snack politely.
Zhu Sijia knew something about the temperament of the eldest princess, and seeing that she was willing to accept it, she found a reason to retreat.
As soon as she returned to the camp, Zhu Siying ran up from nowhere, holding her hand and acting coquettishly:
"Sister, the autumn hunting is coming to an end soon. I really can't bear to live such a happy life."
Zhu Siying changed her usual style today and wore a slim red casual dress with lapels and narrow sleeves. She was extremely beautiful.
Going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, Zhu Sijia knew that she wanted something from him, so she said bluntly: "What do you want me to do, little sister?"
Seeing how happy she was, Zhu Siying said happily: "I heard that my sister was a good horse rider when she was in the North. Among us three siblings, I am the only one who can't ride. Why don't you, sister, take advantage of the opportunity for us to get together often and give me some pointers?" "
horse riding?
I'm afraid it's not something she can ride now if she wants. Moreover, Prince Yan's Mansion has only prepared mounts for Zhu Siyi for this autumn hunt, but she has already returned to Beijing in advance.
Zhu Sijia flatly rejected her: "If you want to learn how to ride a horse, you can ask Yuan Cun to teach you. Yuan Cun's riding skills are unparalleled, so why come to me?"
Zhu Siying said confidently: "I don't see my brother when I wake up every day. How do you want me to learn from him?"
Zhu Sijia: “But where did we get the horses?”
Zhu Siying rolled her eyes: "This is exactly why I came to see my sister. There are six horses in your majesty's stable, all of which were gifts from foreign countries -"
Zhu Sijia said coldly: "No, there is no need to discuss this matter."
Such a young girl was so bold as to set her sights on Yan Xiu's beloved horse.
"Why not?" Yan Xiu showed up without anyone noticing. He hugged Zhu Sijia and said, "You can actually ride a horse. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhu Siying saluted Yan Xiu charmingly and said, "Siying has met my brother-in-law."
Brother-in-law?
Zhu Sijia subconsciously looked at Yan Xiu's face.
