Chapter 27: Almost Strong
Yun Jing pulled Ye Jin all the way, and suddenly stopped suddenly, and Ye Jin, who was closely following behind, bumped into her unexpectedly, and the two of them fell together unsteadily.
"Are you alright? How did it stop suddenly? Ye Jin hurriedly helped her up, and found that her eyes were evasive, and a burst of blush appeared on her face, all the way to her neck.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so red? ”
Yun Jing's face turned even redder, and she denied anxiously: "How can I have ...... Don't talk nonsense......"
While covering Ye Jin's mouth in a panic, he raised his dodging eyes and looked in a certain direction.
Ye Jin followed her gaze and saw a pale yellow figure slowly walking up the stairs, with a tall back, a golden crown and bundled hair, and a slender and white hand behind him.
"His Royal Highness King Ning." Yun Jing got up with Ye Jin's support, and after standing up a little, she gave a shallow salute, no longer pounced on him like before, and followed him step by step, shaking his sleeves and coquettishly to her.
Ming Ziyu lowered his head a little disappointed, and said lightly: "No need to be polite." ”
Yun Jing got up and stopped talking, Ming Ziyu stared at her with complicated eyes, Ye Jin only felt that the atmosphere was delicate, and she wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she simply followed the silence.
Until the awkward silence was broken by the sound of conversation not far away.
"I heard that the prince still doesn't get very close to you?"
"Zisu is not the concubine's biological child after all, and it is reasonable that he is not close to the concubine, and now he is alone in the palace, and the concubine has the responsibility to take on the responsibility of upbringing, in fact, after getting along, you will feel that this child is really good, and not being close to the concubine is also because of the attachment to the biological mother, which just shows the prince's filial piety."
The emperor's voice raised a little higher, with a little anger: "What do you mean to be alone?" He is the prince of the East Palace! I'm still here! Every morning and dusk, I always have to ask him a few more questions, and now that so long has passed, the prince is still estranged from you, which shows that he still has a grudge against me, and even holds a grudge against me. ”
Nian Zhiyi persuaded softly: "The emperor is serious, he is actually a loving child, but he is withdrawn and indifferent." ”
The emperor sneered: "His temperament is not only indifferent and withdrawn, except for his mother-in-law, who is not a person who is not close to him, and that kid from the Chu family can say a few words to him." As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "That's it, now that he is raised under your knees is his blessing and his fate, I hope that with your teaching and constraints, the mother-son lineage can make him change his temperament." ”
"The concubine must be dedicated, treat the prince and Ziyan equally, and teach them well, the emperor is really heartbroken for the prince, and he will definitely know your hard work."
"If he is half as sensible as Ziyan, I can also worry a lot, you know that in fact, the position of the East Palace originally belonged to him......"
"The concubine knows that the emperor loves Ziyan, but he has been sick since birth, and the imperial doctor asserts that he does not live long, and only wishes that he is shallow in his own blessings, and is destined to have no chance with the country, so the palace never does this thought, in fact, it is also a good thing to think about it, in the future, the emperor will make him an idle king, free from disputes, let him go to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, and keep him free of food and clothing, which is also a little selfishness of my mother."
"Speaking of Ziyan, I remembered that it would be his twentieth birthday in a few days, the girl of the Yun family is already seventeen this year, it is time for her and Ziyan to get married, Ziyan is not willing to accept a side concubine and let him be, he is not in good health, and there should not be too many wives and concubines, after Yun Jing marries in, she will be in the position of the main concubine, Yun Lie must have no objections."
"The emperor is thoughtful, and the concubines are out of reach, it can be seen that your love for your son is more than that of your concubines, and the concubines are going to pick the day."
The emperor and queen walked through the garden together, the conversation gradually faded away, Yun Jing had a pale face, her expression was frozen, and her eyes stared at Ming Ziyu: "You already knew, didn't you?" Let's go to the emperor to show his heart! ”
A trace of hesitation flashed in Ming Ziyu's eyes, his pale thin lips moved a few times, and his Adam's apple squirmed for a long time without being able to make a clear and complete sound.
The brilliance on Yun Jing's face gradually dimmed with his silence, and the disappointment in his eyes was about to come out.
"Follow me." After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, and before he could react, he walked forward quickly, his steps hurried and messy, stopped in front of a door, turned back and waited quietly for the figure that had been standing still at the bottom of the steps.
Ye Jin looked at these two people in a daze, and finally realized the relationship between these two people sluggishly, and hurriedly pushed Yun Jing: "Go, it's better to say some things clearly, I'll wait for you." ”
Yun Jing, who had been disappointed too many times, already knew his character, and he would never be able to resist his father, although he knew that he had little hope of fighting for her, he still picked up his steps and followed.
After entering the door, Ming Ziyu looked at her without saying a word, and in the quiet silence, Yun Jing felt a burst of powerlessness, a wave of anger rose in her heart, and regardless of the difference between dignity and inferiority, she picked up a book and smashed it at him at any time: "Will you just be silent?!" Watching me marry His Highness the Ten? Do not do anything and say nothing? Am I so insignificant to you? ”
At the end, there was hysteria, and tears of grievance burst out of his eyes.
"Of course not!" Ming Ziyu eagerly approached her, reaching out to support the bookshelf behind her and trapping her between her arms, looking at her deeply with her head lowered and dark misty eyes.
Yun Jing's eyes widened suddenly, and suddenly a slightly cool hand gently covered her eyes, his bewitching voice sounded in her ears, and her warm breath swept by, causing her to tremble.
"You ......" Yun Jing's eyes were dark, and she opened her mouth in a little panic, but her warm lips swallowed the words behind her, her waist tightened, and the whole person was taken into his arms and hugged tightly.
This was a shallow kiss, Ming Ziyu quickly restrained her lips, but reluctantly did not withdraw her body, stared down at her, and her tone was full of bitterness: "In the future...... You and Brother Qi Wang will have a good ...... in the future."
Yun Jing's shy expression froze on her face, and her blush faded cleanly in an instant: "What did you say?" ”
"You heard it just now, the queen mother has already gone to pick a day for you and Brother Qi......"
"So you're saying goodbye to me now?" Yun Jing's mind suddenly went blank, her face was pale and she broke free from his embrace, waved her hand and slapped him in the face, staggered out of the door step by step, and the moment she turned around, tears rained down.
It was so stupid that when that kiss fell, she thought he had finally opened his mind......
Yun Jing staggered out, and didn't even raise her head when she passed by Ye Jin, Ye Jin shouted a few times behind her but didn't respond, so she had to speed up her pace and catch up with her, only to turn her face and find that she was full of tears.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to talk about? ”
Yun Jing shook her head, her tears fell even more fiercely, and she asked aggrievedly: "Sister Jin, why can't you say he can't be brave, I'm actually not afraid of anything, even if it's a thunderstorm, as long as he is brave, I'm not afraid......"
Ye Jin was a little distressed, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and said softly: "But do you know that if he is weak by nature, he can only barely be brave for you once in his life, but you have to go all out for this only once bravery, you will be very tired." ”
"I don't understand...... Yun Jing stopped crying with a sob, a little confused.
"Even if he goes to see the emperor with you today, things won't change, listen to me and go back."
Yun Jing stubbornly asked, "Why?" ”
"It's not his own intention to go to see the emperor, once the emperor is angry, he can't bear the pressure, but your temperament is different from his, love and hate are strong, but you will fight desperately, not only for him, but also for your own fate, and when you are on the cusp of the storm, he has already been protected by the emperor under his wings."
Yun Jing was stunned, obviously she didn't think so much about her simple mind, she just thought that love should be fought for bravely.
Ye Jin couldn't bear it, but he still continued ruthlessly: "He obviously likes you, he is sad to hear that you are going to marry someone else, but he can still bear it, and he quickly accepted this fact, but His Royal Highness King Qi, it can be seen in the words of the emperor, he fights for you and the emperor to only respect you as the main concubine, so that the position of the side concubine is vacant, just saying that this friendship is very precious, you might as well think about it, who is worthy of your life." ”
Yun Jing's eyebrows were tightly twisted, and she said in a low mood: "Sister Jin, I'm sorry I'm not in the mood to watch the competition, I want to go back, you can go by yourself......"
Ye Jin nodded, watching her walk away with her shoulders slumped and her head down, and turned around to see Ming Ziyu standing straight at the door, half of her body hidden behind the door, silently staring at Yun Jing's figure gradually walking away.
She didn't have a good first impression of this person, so she planned to leave quietly, but he chased after him: "The princess and sister-in-law stay." ”
Ye Jin had to stiffen his head and greet him: "I'm sorry, I haven't been in the palace for long, and I haven't come out to walk around, I haven't had time to recognize all the people in this palace one by one, I don't know how many highnesses you are?" ”
Ming Ziyu humbly bowed: "I am Ming Ziyu, King of Ning." ”
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ning, hello." Ye Jin smiled awkwardly and said hello, not remembering how old King Ning was......
Ming Ziyu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so he chatted with her.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
"No, I'll just walk around......"
"If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Me? How can I help you? Ye Jin was a little reluctant, but because of his bad identity, he refused openly.
Ming Ziyu said sincerely: "I know that Jing'er likes her sister-in-law a lot, I want my sister-in-law to persuade her more, don't let her be stupid." ”
"Why?"
"She'll listen to you......"
"No, I'm asking why you watched her marry someone else without doing anything?" She tried, and it was so bad that she never wanted to experience it a second time.
Ming Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, with an extremely bitter smile: "If you don't watch her marry someone else, won't you watch her die......
