Recently, teahouses and bookstores in Beijing have been particularly busy.
A country girl was rowing on Qingze Lake and was attracted by the prince who was visiting incognito. She was brought back to the palace openly.
This story is sweet and bizarre.
Before the Crown Princess entered the palace, the Crown Prince fell in love with someone else, and it was obvious that he was slapping the Xie family in the face.
Xie family, the bells ring and the cauldrons eat.
Since the time of the late emperor, the Xie family has been a famous family, with prosperous heirs and talented people.
In the third year of Jianzhao's reign, two brothers from the Xie family, Xie Ningyuan and Xie Ningchao, entered the Wenhua Hall of the Hanlin Academy together.
In the 20th year of Jianzhao's reign, the marriage between the Xie family and Concubine Xiao's natal family was even more powerful. The emperor appointed Xie Wuyou, the eldest granddaughter of Xie Ningchao, the Minister of Household Affairs, as the crown princess, which made the Xie family even more proud.
Many people in the court couldn't stand it and complained that Xie was monopolizing the emperor's favor and forming cliques for personal gain. However, no matter how fierce the discussion was between the DPRK and the Central Government, the Emperor's high regard for the Xie family seemed to have never wavered.
Jianzhang Palace and Chunhe Palace.
After a night of spring breeze, the whole courtyard is filled with flowers, blooming and fragrant.
Xu Zhihuai leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, with one hand on his forehead and his fingers slightly hanging in front of his eyes. The sun was shining brightly today, bright and dazzling.
She closed her eyes to rest and catch up on some sleep, but she always had nightmares at night.
It was such a huge palace, with only her and two maids for company. It was so empty that even if she spoke louder, there would be an echo.
Wei Li refused to return Jinhua to her, so she could only enter the palace alone.
"Girl, the flower shop has just sent Xifu Begonia...it was ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xu Zhihuai still closed his eyes and said calmly: "Begonias are precious, just place them carefully."
"girl……"
The palace maid hesitated to speak, her breathing suddenly became tense. Then, someone said loudly: "So you don't like Begonia."
Xu Zhihuai put down the hand covering his eyes and looked at the sudden appearance of Zhu Xingxing against the light. He was always so dazzling, as if he was born with the same source of light and was high above.
Xu Zhihuai slowly sat up and heard Zhu Suxing say gently: "Okay, no need to salute, there is no one else here."
So she sat motionless obediently.
"I had a lot of things to do yesterday, so I didn't come...are you still used to being here?"
He seemed to be in a good mood, with his eyebrows stretched and a smile on his face.
“A human body is only a few feet long, so where can’t it fit in?”
Xu Zhihuai's apricot eyes were graceful and his expression was calm, as calm as ever, as cold and indifferent as when they first met.
Seeing her indifferent and unhappy look, Zhu Xuxing felt that it was reasonable. He took her back to the palace on a temporary basis. Everything was so unfamiliar, and she would inevitably not get used to it.
Xu Zhihuai turned his eyes and looked at the beautiful Xifu crabapples, murmuring to himself: "There are good flowers sometimes, so don't let them go in vain."
Zhu Xuxing wanted to please her, so he took the initiative to ask: "Just tell me what you like and I will send someone to bring it to you immediately."
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "Your Highness, I like asparagus."
"good."
She is a fresh and refined woman, how could she like gorgeous and ostentatious flowers and plants? Bamboo plums, chrysanthemums and orchids are the most suitable for the occasion.
Xu Zhihuai looked at him again: "Your Highness, that painting..."
Zhu Xuxing sat down opposite her, not far away but not too close: "Eldest sister likes it very much. She hangs it in the study and admires it day and night. She also said that it is not the behavior of a gentleman to take advantage of others."
Xu Zhihuai Wan'er.
"The spring is beautiful today, I'll show you around." Zhu Xuxing said while holding her hand naturally.
Xu Zhihuai naturally would not refuse.
His palms were warm and dry. On the contrary, her hands were slightly cold.
"Why are your hands so cold? My clothes must be too thin."
Zhu Xuxing immediately ordered the palace maid to bring a cloak and wrap her up himself.
The goodwill comes in waves.
Xu Zhihuai raised his eyes to look at him. Zhu Xuxing's face was full of sincerity, exuding a calm and reassuring aura.
She was curious, how long could he maintain such a modest and gentlemanly appearance?
It had been three days since he entered the palace, and he and she had never been truly intimate. Maybe he was pretending...or maybe the fresh energy of falling in love at first sight that day had passed?
Xu Zhihuai knew that he was still a fish waiting to be slaughtered and urgently needed a chance to turn around.
Passing through the palace gate and passing through the corridor, you can see the prosperity and luxury of the palace palace everywhere.
The palace people who came and went in the palace all bowed to the prince when they saw him. Zhu Xuxing never let go of her hand, as if he wanted to warm her up. The two of them behaved affectionately and did not shy away from anything.
"Miyagi is very big and it's easy to get lost. Just get familiar with it slowly."
Xu Zhihuai didn't respond, just followed him quietly.
As he walked, Xu Zhihuai paused slightly and stopped.
Because they had already reached Zhu Xiuxing's study.
Zhu Xuxing turned his eyes and held her soft little hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
After hearing this, Xu Zhihuai naturally reacted and held his breath silently, causing a faint blush to appear on his fair and delicate face, as if he was shy.
Zhu Xuxing wanted to raise his hand and caress her red face, but hesitated.
It's so beautiful, how can you play with it at will?
He preferred to watch her quietly.
Zhu Xuxing invited her to come to the study to taste the treasures he had collected for many years. However, his eyes were always fixed on her and he would not leave her for a moment.
After a while, someone came in and sent a message: "Your Highness, the Marquis in Qingyi wants to see you."
After hearing this, Xu Zhihuai's heartbeat accelerated instantly.
Zhu Xuxing said calmly: "Xuan."
Xu Zhihuai's pupils shrank heavily, and he calmed down again when he saw that Zhu Xuxing was still holding his hand.
This is the palace, not the secluded courtyard, nor the dirty and dark alley...
She sat quietly with her eyes lowered. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the long hem of dark gold and silver clothes that flashed past, and she felt an indescribable tension in her heart.
"Your Majesty, Wei Li, wishes you well."
His voice was exceptionally clear and his words were clear and round.
"Why are you in the palace at this time?"
Zhu Xuxing was gentle and raised his hand to signal him to get up and sit down.
"I heard that the Minister of Punishment has published another copy of this book today."
Wei Li was serious, looking straight at His Highness the Crown Prince, as if he didn't even see Xu Zhihuai next to him.
Zhu Xuxing smiled faintly: "The Ministry of Justice has always criticized you, you should have gotten used to it."
Wu Yuan was convicted, and one stone caused thousands of waves. The officials who had been close to him before were all scared to death. It was inevitable that some would find ways to protect themselves.
The Huangji Guards have their own style of arresting people and investigating cases. They always take witnesses and physical evidence first, and then hand them over to the Criminal Department to close the case. It is inevitable that they will feel a little resentful.
Now, Wu Yuan's case has been open for a long time, and he is still in the hands of Huang Jiwei.
Zhu Xuxing knew the key points very well: "Wu Yuan, you have been interrogating me for two months, why haven't you handed me over to the Ministry of Punishment yet?"
Xu Zhihuai was secretly nervous, his palms getting hot and sweating uncontrollably.
Unexpectedly, Wei Li suddenly said again: "Your Highness, Wu Yuan is a deep well that needs to be dug slowly. Moreover, I am worried that there are still remnants of the Wu family..."
Zhu Xuxing frowned: "Isn't the whole Wu family guilty?"
There was something in Wei Li's words: "There were so many people there that night. What if something slipped through the net?"
Xu Zhihuai's breath suddenly stagnated when he heard this.
She didn't dare to think about what he meant by saying this?
Xu Zhihuai subconsciously raised his eyes and saw Wei Li looking over evilly, his dark pupils hiding unknown danger.
Xu Zhihuai instantly froze into a wooden figure.
Is he going to betray her?
