"I wish Jieyu, the person sitting in the waterside pavilion is Mrs. Chen."
Aunt Zhong reminded kindly behind Zhu Sijia.
The two groups of people were not far apart, and Zhu Sijia was accompanied by a chirping Princess Zhenzhen, which made it difficult not to notice.
But Mrs. Chen didn't even twist her neck, just waiting for Zhu Sijia and others to take the initiative.
As her former mother-in-law, she was pampered by the late emperor and was very delicate. Zhu Sijia had long been accustomed to this.
After the death of the late emperor, Concubine Chen stayed in the palace and met Empress Dowager Zhang without looking up.
Without the protection of the late emperor, after so many years, the remaining pride in her body has been shattered by the Queen Mother Zhang. Only in front of Zhu Sijia, she can always find the energy to dote on the Sixth Palace in the past, and change her tricks. The ground made things difficult for her.
It can be regarded as the only comfort in her long life as a widow.
Later, when Yan Xing became the regent of the Qin Dynasty, Mrs. Chen became more and more aggressive. In addition, she was old and extremely mean and eccentric. Zhu Sijia suffered a lot at her hands.
Zhu Sijia was once the daughter-in-law of Concubine Chen, but now, she no longer needs to obey Concubine Chen.
But according to etiquette, Zhu Sijia should take the initiative to salute her elders.
Zhu Sijia took Zhenzhen and walked slowly outside the waterside pavilion: "I have seen the Dowager Empress."
Aunt Hou next to Mrs. Chen bent down and whispered a few words in her ear. Then she turned around and looked at Scarlett and wished Scarlett: "I wish you were polite, Jieyu, please get up quickly."
She had heard about Qiu Lie for a long time. From the moment her daughter-in-law-to-be became the emperor's concubine, Zhu Sijia knew that this matter must be related to Yan Xing.
If Zhu Scarlett was still her prospective daughter-in-law, at this moment, why should she be so polite to her for the emperor's sake?
I wish Scarlett had finished the ceremony and left quietly. Mrs. Chen had no intention of keeping her, so she would not stay any longer.
As the beauty walked away, Concubine Chen's eyes flashed: "I just took a closer look and found that she is indeed a top-notch beauty, even more beautiful than her pampered sister."
"Even the disaster was worse than that person back then."
Aunt Hou next to Mrs. Chen responded and said: "I have never seen Zhu Jieyu before, but when I see her today, she is so beautiful that it makes me breathless."
It's a pity that she and Prince Yi are not destined to be together. If she can marry Princess Yi, she will probably be closer to her in the future.
"Hmph." Mrs. Chen continued to pick up the scissors and slowly trimmed the freshly picked chrysanthemums on the table. "If a woman wants to gain a foothold in the harem, beauty alone is not enough. She must rely on wisdom."
"Yuanzhi once said that she is boring and stupid, and her gold and jade are ruined on the outside. It is a blessing that such a woman does not enter Prince Yi's palace."
"She is more eye-catching than the one from Zhangtai Palace when she was young, but what's the use? Didn't the one from Zhangtai Palace also disgrace the Sixth Palace Fendai when she was young? But the late emperor's favorite——"
"My Highness, please be careful. The Dragon Guard you raised today is everywhere."
Aunt Hou was so frightened that her old face turned pale, and she quickly warned her.
Thinking of the relationship between the brothers Yan Xiu and Yan Xing, Mrs. Chen was even more heartbroken. She covered her chest as if she had a heart attack:
"My poor son! He has lived in seclusion for so many years and has only been an idle prince in name only. This is not enough to satisfy His Majesty? If Qiu Lie's fire had not been rescued by Yuan Zhi in time, I am afraid that the disaster would have been with the barbarian girl of Beiliang. Buried in the sea of fire! What on earth did he commit to deserve to be grounded by His Majesty for a whole month?"
The only reason she could think of was that Yan Xing touched Zhu Sijia in public.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Yan Xing warned him sincerely about the fire, he couldn't stop the brave people from leaking the news.
When it reached her ears, it turned out that Yan Xing and Zhu Sijia were constantly arguing with each other, willing to risk beheading to take the person out of the fire.
What's your Majesty's temper now? Looking twice at his cat can make him suspicious!
It was obvious that the woman was restless and dared to dive into the fire! Her son was kind-hearted, but he was punished for it!
It's really a bad luck to the father.
Aunt Hou took out the medicine for heart disease that she carried with her and fed it to her. She looked around anxiously and whispered quickly: "Don't worry, concubine. I'll send a few more people out of the palace. I still don't believe you." Even in name, I can’t even enter the gate of Prince Yi’s Mansion!”
Only then did Mrs. Chen feel that the heavy objects on her body were slowly being removed by invisible forces.
Outside the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Aunt Hou sent out two young eunuchs from the palace, but as expected, they were blocked by the armored guards carrying large and small bags.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty showed his true intentions this time and actually sent armored guards to monitor the prince.
Eleven stood behind the armored guard, with a look of guilt on his face: "You should go back to the palace first. Can His Majesty's decree be changed just by changing it? But when you go back to the palace to meet the Dowager Empress, remember to speak tactfully and understand. Yet?"
Smooth?
How to be smooth? He could neither lie to her and say that the two of them could visit the palace, otherwise he would be beheaded by His Majesty; nor could he directly tell her that King Yi had more than twenty days of grounding left, if it hurt her and caused her heart disease to relapse...
The two little eunuchs looked sad and walked away carrying their things.
This scene was seen from a distance by Zhu Siyi's personal maid Luo Ying.
When Luoying returned home to report to Zhu Siyi, Zhu Siyi disagreed: "Just because they can't come in doesn't mean I can't come in, and they don't think about who I am? Your Majesty is my childhood sweetheart's cousin! The armored guard didn't dare to stop me even if he had eight hundred guts. "
She was happily embroidering a hijab on her head, and her eighteenth birthday was only half a month away.
Although her biggest wish was to receive Yan Xing's marriage certificate on her eighteenth birthday, how could Zhu Siyi not be angry now that Yan Xing was banned from the house because of that bitch Zhu Sijia?
But as long as she gets married to Yan Xing before next year, she can endure anything.
Zhu Siyi's needles moved faster when she thought of the scene where she and Yan Xing went to the church to get married.
In Prince Yi's Mansion.
There is something not quite right about the late autumn in Xijing this year. Why does it look more like spring when everything is growing?
Yan Xing walked through the garden again and again with doubts. He came to a dusty door. He rarely used this small courtyard, and it was usually used as a place to pile up sundries and old things in the house.
But there was an invisible force pulling him here.
He opened the door, and there was another scene behind the door.
He saw himself standing in the middle of the gravel path, and standing opposite "himself" was still the woman whose face could not be seen clearly.
"I have prepared the divorce letter. Your Majesty only needs to press your fingerprints. From now on, we will be strangers."
"Really? You actually know how to write a letter of divorce."
Yan Xing approached "himself" and looked at the divorce letter carefully. The handwriting seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen it before.
"Did I say that I wanted to divorce my wife?"
"Go down and clean yourself. I want you to sleep with me tonight."
With a sound of "wow--", he tore the divorce letter bit by bit, flying in the air and turning into a heavy snow.
