Chapter Thirty-Six: I Didn't Think About It That Way
Xie Ying looked at the hairpin in her hand, she only needed to pick up a stone in the flower pot and knock it off.
Pingcheng gritted his teeth, Xie Ying could only sigh, and then asked Hongye to take things away, after all, he came out to relax today.
"Xie Ying, stop!"
Pingcheng caught up again and picked up the scissors that were picking up flowers on the side, and as soon as Xie Ying noticed it, he said coldly: "Hongye, stop her!" ”
Momiji's skills are very fast, and before Heijo can make a move, his wrist is folded, the scissors fall to the ground, making a "clang" sound, and Pingcheng's hand is also pulled to the back by Momiji.
"Xie Ying, you dare to let your servant do this to me!" Pingcheng couldn't break free, and the maid who was waiting for Pingcheng came to rescue the princess immediately, and Chen Yuming also followed.
"Second lady Xie, let this lady let go!"
Xie Ying nodded lightly before the red leaves retreated, Pingcheng saw the opportunity and wanted to step forward again, Chen Yuming grabbed it, "Princess, I will tell Your Highness about today's matter." ”
Pingcheng retracted and looked at her indifferently, "What about telling His Highness?" ”
"Princess Pingcheng," Xie Ying looked at her calmly, "I don't know what misunderstanding I have with you. ”
She immediately grabbed the white, "What a misunderstanding!" ”
"You, Xie Ying, the daughter of the Marquis of the Northwest, the county monarch of His Majesty's own title, as long as you marry you, you can sit on the throne of the crown prince!"
Xie Ying was a little confused.
"I want to be a princess and bow my head to you for the third brother's marriage, you are dreaming!"
"Then the princess can rest assured," although Xie Ying understood, she felt cold in her heart, she still couldn't escape the battle for imperial power, "Xie Ying will not marry the three kings." ”
"There is no third brother, and there is a fifth brother, he is so close to you, isn't he for the throne?"
Before Xie Ying could think about it, Chen Yuming slapped Pingcheng in the face with a word, and the sound of "snap" was very crisp.
"Come on, send Princess Pingcheng back to the palace."
After speaking, Chen Yuming glanced at Xie Ying, and for a moment her eyes seemed to be dodging something, and Xie Ying frowned slightly after noticing it.
Chen Yuming apologized again: "Thank you, Niangzi, I can't take care of me today." ”
She also left, and the ladies who had walked away in this huge courtyard came back, but everyone avoided Xie Ying.
Hongye wrapped her nails for Xie Ying seriously, "What is the lady thinking?" ”
"I'm wondering what Princess Heijo meant by what she said." Xie Ying approached her a little, and Hongye immediately cautiously lowered her stiffness, "The lady thinks that King Chen is ......"
Xie Ying's gaze swept to the calm Chen Yuming not far away, and some doubts arose in her heart.
"I've been friends with King Chen for so long, and he doesn't look like someone who would use me for the throne. On the contrary, the lady of the Chen family wanted to cover up something for a moment. ”
Momiji reacted immediately, "What does the lady want me to inquire?" ”
"Since it's a struggle for imperial power, there's no need to meddle." After Xie Ying finished speaking, her brows suddenly frowned again, "It's better to inquire about the three kings, at least know that you should be careful in the future." ”
The inner courtyard remained calm until noon, when the ladies of each family got another bowl of water for exposure, and a box of needles for floating.
As if the matter of Xie Ying and Princess Pingcheng had not happened, the courtyard began to have the voice of the lady talking, and it gradually became lively again.
"My aunt has made an appointment to me."
……
"I'm happy when I see him, and sometimes I'm at a loss!"
……
"Although I can't see him all the time, I always think about him."
"When you get married, you can see you every day!"
Ladies, you and I said it one by one, and Xie Ying listened without saying a word, and the appearance of King Chen still appeared in his mind.
It's best to do whatever you want, Xie Ying thought like this, and Xiao Ke's appearance was depicted deeper and deeper by her.
And the shadows moved on the sundial, and the ladies of the Chen family watched the hour and gathered the ladies of the families in front of those water bowls.
"I don't know which ladies can be clever today!"
The ladies were discussing, Xie Ying picked up the needle and carefully placed it on the water, but it sank to the bottom of the water in an instant.
After trying a few more times, it still didn't work, Xie Ying had to look at these little ladies beside her, Chen Yuming was the first to succeed, "Congratulations to Mrs. Chen for her skill." ”
"Chen Niangzi's embroidery is inferior to anyone in Chang'an, and I don't know who Langjun can marry her!"
The little lady laughed happily, but Xie Ying found that Chen Yuming's eyes glanced at her, and Xie Ying avoided exiting the crowd.
As the twilight approached, Xie Ying took two steps, wanting to wait for her to resign when she was free, but it happened that Chen Yuming also came immediately, "Xie Er Niang!" ”
"Mrs. Chen." Xie Ying stopped, Chen Yuming wanted to speak and stopped, Xie Ying waited for a while before she spoke: "I'll let someone send you away." ”
Xie Ying bowed her head, Chen Yuming gave another blessing, and walked away calmly.
Chen Yuming controlled her emotions very well, but if she had some words, she inadvertently revealed a trace of sadness in her heart, and that back was always a little sad.
The carriage of the Northwest Hou Mansion had just left the Mansion, and there was a hurried sound of carriages behind him.
Xie Ying leaned against the wall of the car and looked a little tired, "Red leaves, let them go first!" ”
"Oooo The crisp sound from the car wall dispelled Xie Ying's sleepiness, and she opened the curtain and looked into Chen Wang's eyes.
"Five kings!" The helplessness in his heart just now suddenly changed to pleasure, Xie Ying glanced at the Duke Mansion behind him, and asked with a smile: "King Chen also went today?" ”
He nodded.
King Chen was invited to the Mansion today to worship Kuixing and appreciate calligraphy and paintings. I happened to hear a few maidservants talking with others, saying that Princess Pingcheng was here, and it seemed that she was up to the second lady of the Xie family.
Xiao Ke was worried, but he couldn't go to the inner courtyard, and he didn't know what Xie Ying's situation was.
Later, he learned that Pingcheng was suddenly sent back to the palace, and after inquiring about what Pingcheng and Xie Ying said, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
Can't you avoid it even once?
One is the queen and the other is the princess of Heicheng.
It wasn't until he caught up with Xie Ying's carriage at this moment, looking at her smiling eyes, he didn't know where to open for a while, and was stunned for a while.
"Don't take the words of Pingcheng today, don't take it to heart."
Xie Ying's pupils shrank, and her words were not as powerful as usual, but with a begging tone.
Her smile slowly fell, and seeing the sadness in his eyes, she frowned for some reason, and she wanted to ask why......
I care about you...... He wanted to answer too.
Through the two windows, they stared into each other's eyes like this, and all the words were only emotions, making waves in the ocean under their eyes.
The city drum sounded, the two came back to their senses, Xie Ying retracted his gaze and sighed lightly: "I didn't think so." ”
"You ......" Xiao Ke felt so helpless for the first time.
Xie Ying raised her eyes to look at him again, "I know what kind of person you are. ”
