Chapter 65: Warm Welcome
The footsteps were chaotic, and Zhou Chengzhen, who was riding on a horse, turned his head and looked at the girl who came out of the house.
The girl re-brushed her hair, changed into a white shirt and a green skirt, and wore a string of red beads, slim, beautiful and charming.
Zhou Chengzhen's eyes were shining.
"Ah, Second Miss is so beautiful." He said.
Of course, the little girls like to be praised for their good looks, but when they are praised in public, they are only those who rely on sex to serve people.
Everyone present looked a little embarrassed.
Xie Yao couldn't help but grab Xie Rouhui's sleeves.
Xie Rouhui didn't speak, didn't seem to hear, and walked towards the carriage with a slight salute.
"Ah, Second Miss, I'm really sorry for delaying your trip." Zhou Chengzhen said with a smile, jumped off the horse, stepped forward in a few steps and pushed the little girls away, and opened the curtain by herself, "Second Miss, please." ”
Xie Rouhui squeezed out a smile and got into the carriage.
Xie Yao also hurriedly climbed up.
Zhou Chengzhen did not put down the curtain, but looked into the car.
"Second Miss, are you used to sitting in this carriage?" He sighed and said, "It's so basic." ”
"Habitual sitting." Xie Rouhui said.
Zhou Chengzhen sighed.
"Yes, the second lady has been sitting all the way." He grinned and said, "How can you not get used to it." ”
Laughing and lowering the curtains.
"Second Miss sit down, let's go."
The curtain was lowered, obscuring the handsome face, as if covering the whole world.
Xie Rouhui and Xie Yao exhaled at the same time.
"Huihui, he, does he really think of you as Jiajia?" Xie Yao asked in a low voice.
Xie Rouhui turned her head to look at her. It's hard to hide the disgust in your eyes.
You look stupid.
Xie Yao sneered.
"He, he actually recognized it." She muttered.
"You can recognize it. Why can't this prince of Zhenbei Wangfu, who grew up in front of the emperor, recognize it? Xie Rouhui said lightly.
But after all, I am my own sister, and he is a foreign man. How did you recognize it at a glance?
Xie Yao was in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it again.
The wagons were on their tooks, the horses' hooves were tried, and the marching procession was quiet.
But the silence didn't last long, and the window was knocked twice.
Xie Yao shuddered and saw that the curtain of the car was picked up by a horsewhip.
The dazzling face appeared in front of him again.
"Second Miss, as soon as I heard that you had entered Beijing, I hurried to greet you." Zhou Chengzhen rode on the horse and bent down slightly and smiled at Xie Rouhui who was sitting in the car, "Surprised, right?" ”
It's amazing!
Xie Yao looked down at his body, and the clothes that had fallen to the ground and were stained with muddy water had already changed. But she always felt that the wolf bèi was imprinted in her heart, and she couldn't change it.
Xie Rouhui squeezed out a smile at Zhou Chengzhen.
It seems that he has made up his mind not to speak.
Zhou Chengzhen's smile was even stronger.
"Why did the second miss come?"
"When did the second lady leave? How long have you been gone? ”
"The boat or carriage on the road of the second lady? I remember last time I was on a boat, how did I take a carriage this time? ”
"It's not bad for the second lady to take a carriage, but it's not interesting to take a boat all the time, so it's fresh."
Regardless of whether Xie Rouhui answered or not, he kept talking by himself, and in the end, he simply asked and answered himself, just like the young people he met when he went out in Pengshui.
Compared to those young people he met in Pengshui, this son of the world has the best identity and appearance, and he speaks briskly. Bright smile.
But why do you feel like you're on pins and needles?
I always feel weird.
Zhou Chengzhen's voice stopped in his ears, and the car curtain was lowered.
Xie Yao relaxed his shoulders, and his whole body was as sore as if he had resisted a thousand catties of stones.
".......I'm fine, I'm here to pick up the second miss..."
Outside, there were words that Zhou Chengzhen had returned to the steward.
“… You're going to Miyagi. I'll send you there..."
It's nearly twenty miles from here to the capital, so it's going to take so long.
Xie Yao only felt a prickly needle all over his body, and thoughts flashed through him. The curtain was lifted again.
"Second Miss, I'm most familiar with Miyagi."
"Second Miss. I also know the capital well, this time I accompanied the second lady to walk around. ”
Xie Yao lowered his head. Almost fainted.
……………………………………….
"Second Miss, it's in front, Master Xie handed over the fold, and I'll go with you to take a look."
I don't know how far it has been, but Xie Yao, who was groggy and wooden, finally heard the sentence "Go and take a look", a sound of horses' hooves, and a noisy and trivial whisper, and his ears finally became quiet.
Xie Yao couldn't hold it anymore and fell softly in the car.
"This life is so good with our family, or so good with the second lady, how can you be so courteous." She muttered, "The second miss and the second miss don't stop along the way...."
At this point, her tired mind suddenly became clever.
She knew something was wrong!
The prince of this world knows that the second miss is not the real second miss, so naturally he will not be courteous to the second miss.
And this prince humiliated the eldest lady on the street when he was in Pengshui, so naturally he would not offer his engine to the eldest lady.
"Megumi, he's humiliating you." Xie Yao reached out and grabbed Xie Rouhui's arm, "One bite of a second miss, he did it on purpose." ”
As soon as his hand grabbed Xie Rouhui's arm, he was violently thrown away.
"I don't need you to remind me!" Xie Rouhui shouted in a sharp voice.
Xie Yao looked at Xie Rouhui blankly, her face had long since lost the gentle and indifferent smile she had before, and her eyes were anxious.
"You know, I know, don't come with me." Xie Rouhui looked at her and gritted her teeth and said.
Xie Yao shuddered and lowered his gaze in response.
I'm so angry!
Xie Rouhui clenched her hands fiercely again, gritted her teeth and looked ahead.
I'm angry! I'm angry! I'm angry!
…………………………………………
The emperor sat on the bed of the arhat, looking at the music in his hand, and someone got closer and closer.
"My eyeballs are going to fall off." The Emperor said.
Zhou Chengzhen sat up straight with a smile, and the yellow futon that was sitting on had moved to the side of several cases at some point.
The chamberlain in the house acted as if he hadn't seen it.
"Look at what! Can you read my recitals too? The Emperor glanced at him and said.
"Your Majesty, I naturally can't read your military affairs. This..."Zhou Chengzhen said with a smile, "It's a lively piece of music." ”
As he spoke, he probed again.
"What good things did the rich man of the Xie family give you again?"
The Emperor snorted and threw the mezzale to him.
"While looking." He said.
Zhou Chengzhen really took it. I let out an exclamation in surprise while watching.
"A Jade Arhat! Is it the same as the phoenix stone? ”
"The pearl of the night from the South China Sea! Only three? It's definitely better than ever. ”
The emperor listened with his eyes closed, and after a while, the waiters from outside came in to report that Princess Xianrong had arrived.
"Brother Cheng Zhen is also there." Princess Xianrong saluted the emperor. looked at Zhou Chengzhen again and said, "I heard that you put a snake into the clothes of the fifth lady of the Funing Hou family?" ”
"What a grievance! How could I do such a thing, they screamed so loudly, I went in and helped catch the snake. Zhou Chengzhen said.
“。 Then you don't go early or late, the fifth lady and the seventh young grandmother take off their clothes before you go in. Princess Xianrong said, "Brother Chengzhen, Mrs. Funinghou is complaining to the Queen Mother." ”
"How did I know they were undressed, and I was shocked." Zhou Chengzhen said with a look of grievance and looked at the emperor. "You don't know, that Seventh Young Grandmother is ugly and scared to death, with such a big red spot on her arm"
The Emperor snorted.
"Shut up." He shouted, "I'll settle accounts for you later." ”
He said that he took the piece from the hand of Zhou Chengzhen, who signaled to the chamberlain.
"These are for you from the Xie family." He said.
Princess Xianrong and Zhou Chengzhen were surprised.
"Your Majesty, such a good thing is for Princess Xianrong? The Xie family is too big, right? What benefits do you want to knock from you? Zhou Chengzhen asked.
The Emperor smiled.
"It was the Xie family who congratulated Xianrong on his birthday." He said.
Princess Xianrong suddenly seemed to remember what was going on, and her eyes fell on the letter.
"The second lady of the Xie family is also here, this is a letter to you." The Emperor said.
Princess Xianrong's outstretched hand immediately retracted.
"Second Miss?" She asked.
"Of course, Second Miss." The emperor said, "Xie Wenxing said that he specially asked the second lady to come to Beijing to give gifts. How could the eldest lady of the Xie family leave the house lightly. ”
"On the contrary, it has become a good thing for the second young lady." Princess Xianrong pouted.
The Emperor hummed.
"What do you say? How? Do you still have a dislike for Miss Xie Jiaer? He said.
At the beginning, his post could be given to the eldest lady of the Xie family, but he only got the emperor's permission in the name of befriending the second miss of the Xie family, but the post sent out was only named to the eldest lady of the Xie family.
The emperor likes the second lady of the Xie family. Princess Xianrong naturally knew.
"It's really hard, and she even made a special trip." She said.
"Do you want to meet?" The Emperor asked.
"My birthday hasn't arrived yet, so I'll see you on that day." Princess Hsien Rong said.
I have already made up my mind that I will pretend to be sick when I go back. I'd rather give up this birthday banquet than never give the annoying second lady of the Xie family a chance to enter the palace.
"陛xià. Don't you see? Zhou Chengzhen asked suddenly.
The Emperor glanced at him.
"What did I see a little girl doing?" He said, "It's you." It's time to meet the Queen Mother, right? ”
Zhou Chengzhen jumped up.
"Your Majesty, I also prepared a banquet at home today to entertain friends, I forgot, I'll go first." He said.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he flew out as if he were flying.
……………………………………………
"Is that so? Thank you, sir. ”
The steward respectfully saluted the chamberlain and handed over a red envelope.
The waiter took it with a smile and turned to leave.
Xie Rouhui looked at the steward who came over, and clasped her hand hanging by her side.
"Second Miss, let's go back." The steward said nonchalantly.
"No, didn't you say let's see you?" Xie Yao asked anxiously.
The steward looked at Xie Rouhui.
"I didn't say it." He said, "I disappointed Miss Er." ”
Xie Rouhui smiled.
"What's the disappointment, isn't it the day of the princess's birthday yet, how can it be so easy to enter the palace, and the palace is not a market." She said, turning around indifferently.
Xie Yao hurriedly followed, pulling her sleeve.
"Megumi, why don't you see it?" she asked in a cautious whisper.
"Of course not." Xie Rouhui snorted and said, "The second lady has a grudge against the princess, so it's strange if she is willing to see it." ”
That's it, Xie Yao nodded.
"What then?" She asked in a trembling voice.
If they don't see each other all the time, Master Xie is afraid that he won't let them wait in the capital for a long time and escort them back? Then there will be no chance to turn over.
"What's the hurry, wait a minute." Xie Rouhui said, frowning and biting her lower lip, "It's all because of the drag of the identity of these two young ladies." ”
However, wasn't Xie Roujia also the identity of the second lady in the capital at the beginning? I didn't see how to drag it down, and I also fought for the emperor's word.
Xie Yao also bit her lower lip and didn't dare to say it, and Xiao Xiaobu followed Xie Rouhui closely.
But although he didn't get into the palace, fortunately, the prince didn't come out with him, and he was more comfortable on the way back.
The thought flashed through me, and a clear smile came from behind me.
"Hey, Second Miss! Wait for me, I'll send you! ”
Oops my mother!
Xie Yao's feet softened, and Xie Rouhui stumbled.
"What are you doing!" Xie Rouhui shook her off angrily and shouted.
Xie Yao hurriedly apologized carefully, and the footsteps behind him had already come.
"Second Miss, such a happy event, why don't I do Donghe Yihe?" Zhou Chengzhen turned around and stood in front of Xie Rouhui in a few steps and said.
Xie Rouhui looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Thank you for the love of the prince, the little girl doesn't dare to be." She said.
Zhou Chengzhen laughed, her eyes shining like stars.
"Afford it." He said, leaning forward slightly and looking at Xie Rouhui, "Such a happy event, I have to congratulate her on her side." ”
