Chapter 14 Fourteen days in prison
...
Yingying woke up and was slammed by Prince Zhao Shi, and she had no idea what was going on. She only knew that until the decree was announced, Eunuch Zhang looked at her with weird eyes.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Gu, get up." Eunuch Zhang is a close servant next to Emperor Wucheng and is deeply trusted by Emperor Wucheng.
As soon as he came, it showed that Emperor Wu Cheng's aura had almost disappeared. Although Yingying's punishment was over, the prince of Zhaoshi still had a heavy punishment. Emperor Wu Cheng ordered him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and all the positions of the Ministry of Rites in his hand were handed over to Qin Rong.
Yingying didn't know what this meant, but the ministers in the court all had a clear mind.
"What does Father mean? It's still a while before the Nanyin envoy visited. The Ministry of Rites has already made arrangements and then he turned around!" Prince Zhaoshi changed his previous escape, and his tone was very irritating with a gloomy face.
He recognized his mistakes after thinking behind closed doors. Could it be that his father would seize his power and let him think about his mistakes until the arrival of the envoy of Nanyin?
Eunuch Zhang remained calm and bent down and let Prince Zhaoshi get angry. No matter how angry he was, he still had to do it. Prince Zhaoshi knew that it was not appropriate to go to Emperor Wucheng to plead with him at this time. He held his emotions and received the punishment. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Yingying.
"you say……"
He paused and said in certainty: "Why do I think we fell into Qin Rong's trap yesterday?"
Yingying's heart thrilled, and she was so enlightened when she sighed.
In fact, she had this speculation for a long time, but there was no evidence to prove it. Even if there was evidence, Yingying could not tell the truth to him for Zhao Shihao. She was confused for a moment and pretended to be confused: "Third brother, he...isn't it possible?"
Whether inside and outside the palace, Qin Rong's gentle and humble image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yingying didn't want Zhao Shi to continue to oppose Qin Rong, because she was afraid that she would not even be able to save her life until the end of Zhao Shi. After all, no matter how seductive the throne is, it is not as important as life.
"Anyway, the order has been issued. You should stay in the East Palace these days and wait until Your Majesty gets angry before talking." Yingying didn't care about what happened just now, patted his shoulder and comforted him with a kind voice. Unexpectedly, the prince not only did not appreciate it, but also patted Yingying's hand with a look of horror.
Yingying in his memory was still the domineering and arrogant lady. Now that she saw her talking to her in such a soft voice, Zhao Shi would only confirm in her heart that she liked her.
He moved away two steps secretly, Zhao Shi coughed twice and warned Yingying: "Gou will not like you. If you want to regain your heart as soon as possible, don't think about seducing me. "
Now no matter how he looks at Yingying, he feels that Yingying's soft and delicate appearance is a means of seduction.
"And." The prince added when he rushed to escape from Jian Zhao: "You'd better not put the orphan in your wasteland. You'll let the orphan discover it again. If the orphan is not spared!"
"..." If Prince Zhaoshi hadn't walked too fast, Yingying would have been afraid that she would have been unable to help but take action.
Yingying is a Buddhist temple that she spoke with Eunuch Zhang.
Thinking of Zhao Shi just raised his mouth and envoy Nanyin, she asked tactfully: "Dude-in-law, do we need foreign envoys to visit our country?"
"Not bad." Eunuch Zhang glanced at her, "A few days ago, the official secretary received a letter from Nanyin Kingdom, which said that they had sent a princess to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother in person."
I have to say that the Ministry of Rites is very busy now because they not only have to prepare to welcome foreign guests, but also hold the Queen Mother's birthday party. Originally, Emperor Wucheng handed over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites to Prince Zhaoshi to give him a chance to show his performance, but he had no idea that the relaxed work he got made him ridiculously.
This Nanyin Kingdom is the country where Princess Huale is located.
Yingying remembers that the Nanyin Kingdom sent envoys to celebrate the birthday every year, but he had never sent a princess. It was not until Qinrong became emperor that the Nanyin Kingdom sent Princess Huale to marry him. Unfortunately, Yingying died too quickly and did not know who Princess Huale was going to marry him.
...This time, will Nanyin Kingdom send a princess to celebrate her birthday?
Yingying found that her rebirth had changed a lot invisibly. When she heard that Nanyinguo was going to send a princess over, she immediately thought of Huale. But before she could ask more questions, Eunuch Zhang was shouted away by the little eunuch who was rushing to see. Yingying's words were blocked in her mouth and her mind was full of mess.
"Girl, I have found you!" Yingying was about to leave the palace when a female official in green robe ran towards her. Yingying recognized her as a person from Queen Gu's harem, named Yun Xin.
Yun Xin hurried to Yingying and gasped, saying, "Immortal heard that the girl was punished again, so I specially sent my servants to take you to Fengkun Palace."
Yingying thought that she hadn't seen her aunt for many days, nodded and left with Yun Xin. On the way to Fengkun Palace, Yingying thought about what Eunuch Zhang said just now and chatted with Yun Xin casually: "Do you know that the envoy of Nanyin is coming in a few days?"
Yun Xin nodded and replied: "I know."
This is no secret. Most people in the palace have known it for a long time, but Yingying never paid attention to these things, so she learned it from Zhao Shi.
When Yun Xin saw that Yingying was interested in Nanyin Kingdom, she took the initiative to say, "I heard that the princess who was on a mission to Nanyin Kingdom this time was very beautiful and beautiful. She is a famous beauty in Nanyin Kingdom."
Yingying used to like beauties. Whether it is men or women, she likes to bother others as long as she looks good.
If this were the case, Yingying would have been very much looking forward to the arrival of this beautiful princess. Now she couldn't tell what she felt, but she just wanted to know the name of the princess.
"Do you know which princess is coming?"
Yun Xin thought for a while and replied: "It's...Princess Jihua!"
Yan Jihua, the seventh princess of Nanyin Kingdom, also known as Princess Huale.
Yingying couldn't help but recall the beautiful and cold princess. She always had a deep memory of the faces of these beauties. When she first saw Hua Le's figure in the Fengyao Water Pavilion, Yingying blurted out: "She... is indeed very beautiful."
Yun Xin knew Yingying's temperament, so she didn't answer the conversation and just smiled.
The two of them went to the advanced level. When they stepped onto the corridor, Yun Xin stopped walking. She whispered to Yingying: "Look, girl, that's His Highness Yan Ning from Nanyin Kingdom."
Yingying looked at him and saw a group of palace men walking towards him. The man in the lead robe, jade crown, white and handsome skin. He lowered his eyes slightly and his eyelashes were absent-minded. Yingying was stunned when she saw his face clearly, as if she was struck by lightning.
Seeing the group approaching, Yun Xin lowered her head and bowed quickly.
Yingying was still staring at people without blinking, but fortunately Yan Ning didn't notice her and walked straight by her.
"Girl?" Yun Xin was not surprised by Yingying's loss of consciousness. She held back her laughter and signaled Yingying to come back to her senses.
Yingying was shouted twice by Yun Xin and finally withdrew her gaze. She thought about her but was uncertain about her and looked at Yan Ning's back, and hesitated: "That one is... His Highness from Nanyin Kingdom just now?"
A few years ago, the Northern Region was defeated in Nanyin. In order to show friendship, the king of Nanyin sent his youngest son to the Northern Region. To put it nicely, Yan Ning was the sixth prince of Nanyin. To be unpleasant, he was the proton sent by Nanyin.
Yingying was only concerned about chasing Qin Rong's beauties in her previous life. She had always lived in the palace for a long time and didn't know about Yan Ning.
Carefully depicting Yan Ning's appearance in his heart, Yingying murmured: "This highness looks too..."
Yun Xin thought Yan Ning's appearance was amazing to Yingying, and nodded, "This highness has a very good appearance, but she is too low-key in her daily life and rarely comes out."
As the female official around the Empress, Yun Xin has the most contacts with the palace ladies on weekdays. Suddenly, she remembered what she heard a few days ago, and she quietly told Yingying, "I also heard that His Highness Yan Ning is twins and Princess Huale is 70% or 80% similar."
This is what Yingying just wanted to say.
What she just wanted to say was that His Highness Yan Ning was carved from the same mold as Princess Huale she saw in her previous life. If Yun Xin had not informed her identity in advance, Yingying would have suspected that Yan Ning was pretending to be Princess Huale.
"It turned out to be twins..." Yingying's puzzled point was finally explained.
Without much trouble, she quickly followed Yun Xin to Fengkun Palace.
Queen Gu loved Yingying very much. She had only not seen each other for a few days. As soon as she met, she held Yingying's hand and hugged her like a child.
"Look, my aunt's good deeds have lost weight."
Gu Manru said, lit up Yingying's forehead and pretended to be angry and scolded: "You child has been a dishonest since childhood. When you were a child, you couldn't bear to watch it and went to climb trees to cause trouble. Now you are old and don't look like a girl. If you look at what you do, your aunt will be ashamed of you."
A girl's house forced her to rob the young master and kidnap the prince. Looking at the entire imperial city, she really can't find a second one.
Several female officials beside Gu Manru couldn't help but cover and laughed. Yingying was poked several times and quickly covered her forehead and begged for mercy: "Don't poke my aunt, Yingying knew she was wrong."
Gu Manru stopped with the flow. It can be said that she was overly spoiling Yingying, and the scolding just now was just pretending.
After rubbing Yingying's forehead, she snorted softly, "You are a little unconscientious. You agreed to come to accompany your aunt last time, but after being punished from the Buddhist temple, she slipped faster than a rabbit. When Yun Xin went to pick you up, she saw the back of your carriage."
"I have already told your father that you will stay in Fengkun Palace honestly these days, so you can calm down if I watch you."
If you stay here, you will inevitably meet Qin Rong. It was because of this reason that Yingying slipped so quickly last time. Now she still doesn't want to stay, but she has no excuses.
That night, Gu Manru asked Qin Rong to come over for dinner. Yingying could remember what happened last night as soon as she saw him. Seeing that there was a thin and shallow blood mark on his lips, she even hid behind Gu Manru.
The palace maids here were placing mats. With the slight news from Eunuch Zhang, Emperor Wu Cheng stepped in.
"It seems that I'm here at the right time." Emperor Wucheng sat down with a smile. Those who can become emperors are indeed not ordinary people. After a few words, he saw something was wrong.
Raising his eyebrows, Emperor Wu Cheng asked Xiang Qinrong slowly: "Why is the emperor's mouth hurt?"
"!!!" Yingying subconsciously raised her head, her eyes were bright and watery, and she looked at Emperor Wucheng and then went to see Qin Rong.
Qin Rong didn't look at Yingying, but just raised her hand and stroked her lips and showed a faint smile, "My son is not in trouble, I was just scratched by a naughty kitten."
There is no such an unbearable cat in this palace, but he even scratched his lips. Qin Rong didn't want to hide what happened last night, but she just changed her way to leave a face for Yingying.
How could Empress Gu and Emperor Wucheng not hear Qin Rong's unexpected words? The two looked at Yingying at the same time. Emperor Wucheng saw that the little girl had changed her previous style and seemed to be shy, which was unclear: "Then this cat is indeed naughty."
Fortunately, the meal was served in time, and Yingying used the excuse to snatch the rice and blocked her face behind the bowl. Emperor Wucheng seemed to be deliberately blocking Yingying. He called her and asked suddenly: "I heard that you have fallen in love with the prince again?"
The author has something to say: Yingying: I am not, I don’t, don’t talk nonsense!
