It has been a month since the Xie family brothers and sisters came to the capital, except for Xie Yuchan shouting every day that she is a quasi-princess and asking all the people in the palace to obey her command, the unwarranted marriage contract has never been mentioned again.

Zhiying thought about it, it is still not appropriate to delay, not to mention that he can't be clean by dragging his ears like this, in case Cui Yi really doesn't marry Xie Yuchan in the future, it will not be easy to explain in front of the Xie family, after all, he delayed other people's daughters in vain, didn't he?

So when he entered the palace at the beginning of the month to ask for peace, Zhiying asked Concubine Duan about it tactfully.

"You don't say that I didn't even think about it, there is indeed such a thing," Concubine Duan took her hand and walked in the imperial garden together, "At that time, Yi'er was only nine years old, and the emperor accompanied her sister back to Xuanzhou's hometown to save her relatives, and it happened that Yuchan was one year old, and she caught Zhou and caught her sister's flying phoenix and green hairpin, everyone said that she was rich and noble, so my sister laughed casually, and said that it was better to book this daughter-in-law." ”

Zhiying nodded with a worried face, and Concubine Duan smiled again: "I wasn't there at the time, but I just heard my sister talk about it after she came back, and no one seemed to take it seriously, after all, Yi'er was still the eldest son at that time, how could the marriage be so hasty." ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Queen Xiaopian casually made a joke in front of her relatives, but was taken seriously by the Xie family, and Cui Yi did not marry for a long time, which gave them the illusion that "the prince is waiting for our daughter", so it evolved into this situation of forced marriage.

The words were said by Queen Xiaopian first, and Cui Yi is only a prince now, and he has not married, if the emperor knows the intention of the Xie family, it is very likely that he will push the boat down the river, and let Xie Yuchan be his daughter-in-law.

Zhiying was a little unhappy in her heart, and she couldn't tell why.

"How do Yi'er and Yuchan get along?" Concubine Duan asked with concern.

"Miss Xie is very clingy, and the prince can't resist it, but he doesn't hate her." Hold the profit and answer truthfully.

Concubine Duan showed a pleased smile: "Yuchan is pampered, it is inevitable that some children have tempers, not as sensible as you, you have to tolerate her more." ”

Zhiying casually agreed.

Concubine Duan seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to say it specifically to her: "Yi'er is not young, she should have married a long time ago, instead of waiting for the emperor or the queen to point out a girl he doesn't know, it is better to marry a reliable one in his own yard, Yuchan and he are also cousins, the Xie family is well-off, but Yemen is right, the emperor may agree." ”

Zhiying blurted out almost reflexively: "But the prince may not accept it." ”

Concubine Duan smiled, only when she was worried, she comforted and said: "The reason why the emperor has connived at Yi'er to this day is because he can't bear to force him because he thinks of his sister's old feelings, and on the other hand, there is really no suitable person, although Yuchan is not the best, but the conditions of the Xie family are unavoidable, and Yi'er already has such a virtuous help as you by her side, even if the princess can't take care of things in the future, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, as long as the emperor makes a decree, Yi'er has to marry even if he doesn't want to."

Zhiying's lips moved twice, but she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

But isn't it, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, how can you say a word, although Concubine Duan raised Cui Yi single-handedly, but Cui Yi is not her biological after all, if you want to be a backer for a lifetime, you have to tie him up with his niece in his mother's family, and live and die in a boat.

In the previous life, Cui Yi married Xie Yuchan or not, Zhiying has no memory, but the eldest grandson's family was framed by the prince, and it was the son of Concubine Duan, Cui Xiang, the seventh prince, who was arrested together.

Riding on the same boat with the Ye family and the Xie family may not be a good thing.

Zhiying returned home worriedly, and before he could step into the door, Cui Yi rushed out in a rage, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Lord Wang, this is in a hurry to ......" "Don't let her follow!"

Cao Qian brought Jin Wu over from the side door, Cui Yi turned over and got on the horse, and ran away with a "driving" sound.

Profit: "......"

"Brother Yingrong, you wait for me, Brother Yingrong......" Xie Yuchan chased out with her skirt, but when she didn't see Cui Yi, she saw Zhiying, her face suddenly collapsed, and she said viciously, "It's you again!" Where did you hide Brother Yingrong, why don't you hand him over quickly! ”

Zhiying tried her best to make herself sound calm: "The prince rode away on the golden crow, he should go to the west camp to train the army." ”

Xie Yuchan pursed her lips and muttered: "Training, training, training, training, training, I know about training all day long, and I won't accompany others." ”

Her role is so natural that Zhiying doesn't know where to complain.

"Hey."

"Miss Xie is calling me?"

Xie Yuchan arrogantly picked up her arm: "Who don't you call?" ”

Zhiying endured his anger: "I have a name and a surname, and I don't call it Hey." ”

Xie Yuchan snorted and laughed: "What does it matter to me what your surname is, I can call you whatever I like." ”

Xiao Qiu, who accompanied Zhiying back from the palace, suddenly became angry: "What do you mean? ”

Xie Yuchan didn't even look down on Zhiying, let alone put her maid in her eyes, and sneered: "I don't understand what it means, you are just worthy of serving a concubine who can't be in the hall of elegance." ”

Xiaoqiu was originally a straight person, and since she married Cui Yi as a concubine, she has always been unhappy with her own young lady, but fortunately, the subordinates of Wuwangfu are not snobbish, and there is nothing that makes her particularly popular. But since this Miss Xie came, she has to embarrass Zhiying almost every day, depreciating and secretly damaging it, what is difficult to hear, but Cui Yi doesn't care, Xiaoqiu has already been on fire for a long time, and she will be excited by Xie Yuchan again at this time, and when her emotions come up, she will do it.

Xiaoqiu stepped forward angrily and grabbed Xie Yuchan's collar: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to insult my young lady like this!" ”

Xie Yuchan is so big, she has always scolded others, when it was a maid's turn to do something to her, she shouted: "What are you doing!" Let me go! Someone's coming! ”

Zhiying hurriedly went to stop: "Xiaoqiu, don't do it!" If you have something to say, it's good to say. ”

Xiaoqiu didn't care about it, and beckoned to Xie Yuchan with a round slap, Xie Yuchan tried her best to dodge, but her cheeks were still twitched twice, and her delicate skin immediately became swollen, making her cry in pain.

It's easy to wait for someone in the house to help tear Xiaoqiu away, Xie Yuchan's face has been fanned red and translucent, Xie Yong rushed over when he heard the news, hugged his sister in his arms, and looked at Xiaoqiu who was still screaming and scolding, and was going to rush up and beat people again: "What's going on?" ”

Xie Yuchan grabbed her brother's shirt and cried: "They, they scolded me for not being a thing, and they beat me!" ”

Xie Yong's eyes widened: "What! Madame, is this true? ”

On the one hand, Xiaoqiu was furious, and on the other hand, Xie Yong was indignant, and he was caught in the middle of the dilemma, weighed it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "It's me who can't discipline me, I apologize to Gongzi Xie and Miss Xie on behalf of Xiaoqiu." ”

Xie Yuchan cried and shouted: "Apologize? Is an apology enough? I want her to kneel down and kowtow to me and admit her mistakes! The finger pointed directly at Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu was pointed at by her and became irritable again: "Do your big dream of spring and autumn!" ”

"Xiaoqiu!" Zhiying pulled her hard, "Kneel." ”

"I don't!"

Zhiying shouted angrily: "Don't you even listen to me? On your knees! ”

Xiaoqiu bit her lip, aggrieved tears swirled in her eyes, and finally her knees weakened and she knelt down.

In the next second, Zhiying also knelt down: "Xiaoqiu offended Miss Xie, as the master, I can't escape the blame, I am here to make amends to Miss Xie, and I hope that Miss Xie will not care about the villain." ”

Xie Yuchan finally regained some dignity in front of so many people, and a triumphant look appeared on her swollen face like a pig's head.

"Alas...... This matter, "Xie Yong is also very rare, "Madame, please get up, Miss Xiaoqiu, there is something wrong with the sister, let's end this matter." ”

Zhiying knelt on the ground expressionlessly: "Thank you, Childe." ”

Then Xie Yong persuaded Xie Yuchan, who was holding her head high, back to the side courtyard, Xiaoqiu couldn't help crying out with a "wow", and threw herself into Zhiying's arms: "Madame, I'm sorry!" It's all slaves and maids who are bad, and it's all slaves and maids who are tired of the lady! ”

The other maids also didn't feel good in their hearts, and they had also learned Xie Yuchan's arrogance, so they came forward to support them, and at the same time comforted them, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiaoqiu's tears.

"Don't cry, Xiaoqiu," Zhiying took her in her arms and gently stroked her shoulder and comforted, "I'm sorry for making you wronged, the prince still needs the support of Concubine Duan, so I can't turn my face with the Xie family, I can only wronged you and admit your mistakes." You are obviously trying to protect me, but I have done such an excessive thing, I am sorry for you. ”

Xiaoqiu hugged her sadly and cried: "Madam, don't say that, it's the slave's fault, the slave will never listen to you again!" ”

Zhi Ying endured the sourness in her nose and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Don't worry, you won't be wronged in vain, I will definitely get this account back doubled." ”

Xie Yuchan, Xie Yuchan, you want to be the princess of martial arts so much, I still want to make you unhappy!

The slap storm ended with the kneeling of Zhiying and Xiaoqiu, and no one went to Cui Yi to say a word, Xie Yong didn't want to make any more extraneous branches, and the other subordinates of the palace were all full of excitement, waiting to see how Zhiying would retaliate against this Miss Xie with her nostrils facing the sky.

A few days later, Cui Yi got up a little later than usual, and in a daze, he heard some small sounds in the room, but he couldn't hear what it was, and he opened his eyes and sat up in distraught, and saw Zhiying sitting in front of the makeup in only a plain white underwear, her face buried in her palms, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

The suppressed cry came one after another, and it was the noise that disturbed the dream.

"What's wrong?" Cui Yi realized that something was wrong, and suddenly fell asleep, turned over and got out of bed and walked towards her.

Zhiying stopped crying for a while, and touched the tears on his face in a panic: "No, it's okay, it's okay!" ”

Cui Yi raised her lowered head, saw her eyes red and swollen from crying, and frowned: "Crying like this and saying it's okay, what's wrong?" Not feeling well? ”

Zhiying still shook her head, Cui Yi thought about it, and asked again: "Is that girl surnamed Xie bullying you again?" ”

"No ......"

"Why are you crying without you?"

Zhiying cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and sobbed and said: "The prince and Miss Xie had a marriage contract as early as when Queen Xiaolian was alive, and sooner or later they will be the mistress of the Wuwang Mansion, Zhiying is just a concubine, a subordinate, and was trained by the master's mother for a few words, and it is common to kowtow and admit a mistake, it is not a bully, it is, it is ...... in my heart."

Before she finished speaking, Cui Yi ran away: "What a marriage contract!" Where did the marriage contract come from! How did this king not know? Did she scold you? And let you kneel down and kowtow to her? Outrageous! Come! ”

Zhiying hurriedly grabbed him: "Lord, forget it, there will be more such things in the future, just get used to it, I'm fine, I'm really fine." ”

"What's it! What you get used to! Cui Yi was like an angry lion and roared, "This king is not dead yet, when will it be her turn to be in charge!" ”

His roar drew all the people in the courtyard over, and they looked outside the door, not knowing what had happened.

Zhiying cried so much that her handkerchief was wet, Cui Yi cupped her face and said seriously: "You remember, there is only one Martial Princess in this world, and that is you." ”
