Chapter 14: The Prince's Visit

"County Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come, and the people have already arrived in the main hall." Amber trotted all the way over, panting.

Xie Yanhe frowned when he heard this, forced himself to suppress his troubled thoughts, and wondered, "Why is he here?" ”

Since she fell out with the prince three years ago, this is the first time the prince has come to the door.

Xie Yan and Lazy went to change into the clothes of the guests, swung down directly from the swing frame, held Amber's arm, and commanded in a cold voice: "Go to the main hall." ”

Although the prince was waiting in the flower hall, Xie Yanhe held the maid's arm, and still walked slowly all the way, and when he arrived in the main hall, it was already a stick of incense.

When the maid saw Xie Yanhe coming, she hurriedly bent her knees and opened the embroidered curtain.

With the sound of the girls' announcements, Xie Yanhe turned an embroidered screen of rosewood inlaid with treasures of the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and slowly walked into the flower hall.

In the flower hall, I saw a figure in a dark robe standing with his hands in front of a picture of Songxi hanging on the wall.

Xie Yanhe bent his knees, and his clear voice was as gentle as water: "The courtiers see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Hearing Xie Yanhe's greetings, Prince Wei Jin turned around elegantly, and when he saw Xie Yanhe, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

In my memory, the girl who was still a little childish, delicate and willful had disappeared from front of her, and was replaced by a beautiful woman in front of her who was light in the rain and clouds, and the jade was soft and soft.

The girl's skin is better than snow, her bones are clear and beautiful, her eyes are bright, and her lips are like Zhu Dan; A jade face is like a bright moon, looking forward to the brilliance; The graceful appearance can be called a thousand years of beauty, and the standard is unparalleled.

Wei Jin lost his mind for a moment.

After not seeing the prince speak for a long time, Xie Yanhe raised his eyes with a little doubt, and a touching smile appeared on his beautiful face, and all his emotions were hidden in those seemingly tender eyes: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't recognize me?" ”

Wei Jin came back to his senses in an instant.

His handsome face also showed a gentle smile, and he said briskly: "Cousin, please get up quickly, I haven't seen you for three years, my cousin has grown into a big girl, and I almost can't recognize it." ”

This tone, if an uninformed person listens to it, how can they think that there is so much undercurrent between the two people.

Xie Yanhe lowered his eyes slightly with some self-deprecation. The person in front of him is so thick-skinned, and for so many years, he has never recognized him clearly.

It's no wonder that Wei Jin doesn't hug the pipa, it turns out that he has the same smell as Chen Rong.

Xie Yanhe's fingers hidden in his sleeves clenched secretly, but his delicate face was as usual.

She pursed the corners of her mouth a little shyly, her bright eyes were gentle like water, as if the shame that Wei Jin had brought her did not exist, and she said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in style." ”

Wei Jin was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He thought that according to Xie Yanhe's extremely arrogant temper in the past, this time, even if he was the crown prince, he was still ready to be beaten out of the mansion by Xie Yanhe, but he didn't expect that the two of them could now stand here and speak calmly.

Wei Jin couldn't help but feel a faint sense of guilt in his heart, he smiled gently, and was actually aroused with a trace of sincerity: "Cousin, you used to call your lonely cousin, but now you are separated from the lonely life?" ”

Xie Yanhe's thick, slender eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the eyelids, which also covered the cold color in his eyes.

Her clear voice revealed a hint of sincerity and fear: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he laughed, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, in the past, the courtiers were ignorant, if there is any offense to His Royal Highness the Prince, I hope His Royal Highness Haihan." ”

Xie Yanhe's words were full of rustiness and politeness, and they were no different from those subordinates.

Wei Jin's heart was indescribable, and he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or secretly lost.

The thin and slender girl in front of her was less than able to hold her waist, as if her hands could be broken with a slight force. But Wei Jin will not forget how proud the girl was three years ago, as warm as the sun.

The white crane bends its neck, and the flowers are entrusted to the ground. A trace of guilt gradually welled up in Wei Jin's heart, and he lost his words for a while: "Cousin, are you lonely? ”

Wei Jin couldn't help but blurt out the words in his heart.

Xie Yanhe was stunned, it turned out that he would also feel guilty. But the guilt of an executioner is less like comfort than mockery for the dead.

Xie Yanhe's heart was cold, but a pair of bright pupils were a little crystal colored.

She hurriedly lowered her head in disguise, and said softly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried. Your Highness, your marriage with your courtiers is arranged by Your Majesty, and it can make Your Highness disobey your father's orders, presumably Your Highness must really love the crown princess. ”

Wei Jin's heart was shocked, and his eyes revealed a trace of embarrassment.

I saw that the girl's eyes in front of her were like water, and the tips of her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if shrouded in rain and light mist.

In these wonderful eyes, Wei Jin saw vulnerability, confusion, and sadness, but he couldn't see hatred.

Wei Jin realized that the girl in front of him, in addition to the identity of his fiancΓ©e, was still his cousin. And the girl's father died to save his father.

Wei Jin's calculations that had been prepared before he came were instantly shattered, and he felt a sense of shame because of his coldness and meanness, and moved his lips, but the words that were pressed in his throat could no longer be spoken.

There was a suffocating silence in the room.

After a while, Xie Yan and his long eyelashes like a feather fan trembled slightly, and the snow-white jade teeth bit down on the petal-like ruddy mouth.

She raised her face, her eyes were full of waves, and her delicate voice revealed a trace of poignantness, and there was still trepidation hidden in the poignant: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you came to me at night, I am afraid that the Crown Princess will misunderstand." ”

Xie Yanhe had already issued an eviction order, and with Wei Jin's face, he had not yet reached the point of being cheeky to stay, not to mention, Wei Jin was indeed afraid that Chen Rong would misunderstand.

"Lone ......" Wei Jin's ten fingers hidden under the sleeves of his robe clenched into fists, hesitated for a moment, and finally said his words: "Lone intends to recognize you as a righteous sister, this is Lone's compensation." Yan and ...... Lonely ......"

Xie Yanhe couldn't believe what he heard in his ears. It turns out that some people can put her dignity on the ground and step on it, but it is not enough to step on it, but it has to be crushed a few times!

The palm of the hand pierced into the flesh, and the tip of the tongue tasted a hint of salty blood. Xie Yanhe didn't seem to feel the pain, she tried her best to suppress the anger in her chest, her body trembled, her eyes looked at the prince in surprise, a teardrop hung on her long eyelashes, and she looked like she was about to fall.

She quickly saluted the prince, as if she couldn't stay in this place any longer, and said with a hint of sobbing: "The courtier thanked His Royal Highness the prince for his grace, but the courtier was unwell and retired first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the prince to speak, Xie Yan and he left the main hall as if he was fleeing.

Wei Jin looked at the girl's slightly panicked back, curling and tingting, weak and weak, as if she had a feeling of feathering and flying immortals, and couldn't help but let out a sad sigh.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gone?"

Back in his boudoir, Xie Yanhe immediately put away the tearful resentment in his eyes, and his beautiful face was calm and waveless, where was there still a little sadness.

"After you left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood for a while and left."

The mandarin duck lowered his voice and said.

"It's just...... How could the Crown Princess Chen agree to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recognize you as her sister-in-law? ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Xie Yanhe hooked his lips, and his eyebrows were as cold as snow with a sneering meaning.

She said lightly: "With this heavy name, that person can also have a scruple." I'm afraid...... Wei Jin will not get his wish. ”

Xie Yanhe thought that he still knew a little about Emperor Jianyuan.

Wei Jin's idea is very good, but in Emperor Jianyuan's place, he will definitely return.

Xie Yanhe casually looked around the inner room, and then remembered the red kite that she had punished.

"What about the red kite? Still locked up in the firewood room? Let the people out tomorrow morning as soon as the morning is over. ”

The mandarin duck was very angry about the behavior of the red kite's back owner.

However, because this was a person arranged by His Majesty, she could only say unwillingly: "County Lord, you should keep her for a while longer, even if this little hoof slave doesn't look like a minion." ”

Xie Yanhe let out a self-deprecating sigh, and she said faintly: "There are no red kites, there will be green kites and purple kites, so why bother to be angry." ”

Since Xie Yanhe said so, even if the mandarin duck had more dissatisfaction with the red kite, he could only swallow it silently.

Looking at Xie Yanhe's sad appearance, she turned her head and wiped her eyes quickly with the back of her hand: The first marquis and the first marquis left too early, and the eldest young master was far away in the northwest, even if the county lord suffered more grievances, he could only suffer alone.

……

Wei Jin had just walked through the imperial garden, and before he reached the East Palace, he saw Zhang Sande, the great eunuch beside the crown princess, anxiously waiting on the road.

As soon as Zhang Sande saw the figure of His Royal Highness the Prince, he immediately trotted up to meet him, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and respectfully pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, the crown princess's heart disease has been committed again, the servants are incompetent, and the crown princess has always refused to use medicine, Your Highness, go over and persuade you." ”

When Wei Jin heard this, the expression on his face suddenly couldn't hide his anxiety, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Have you invited the imperial doctor?" ”

Zhang Sande replied with a bitter face: "I invited Imperial Doctor Jiang, who has been treating the crown princess, and also prescribed a prescription. It's just that...... Niangniang is stubborn, Your Highness, if you don't come back, Niangniang will never use medicine no matter how the minions persuade her. ”

When Wei Jin heard this, he didn't care about scolding the minions, lifted the hem of his robe, and hurried to Ganquan Palace.

His speed was too fast, and Zhang Sande was instantly left behind by Wei Jin, and he could only trot all the way to keep up.

Wei Jin walked into the main hall, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, and he wiped it with a handkerchief at will.

The end of his nose was filled with a faint smell of medicine, Wei Jin frowned, rushed to the crown princess's bed in a few steps, looked at Chen Rong's snow-white face, and the faint green shadow under his eyelids, and suddenly felt distressed: "What kind of temper are you having with me again, you refuse to take the medicine." ”

Wei Jin never called himself "lonely" in front of Chen Rong, and from the day Chen Rong married into the East Palace, the two were no different from folk couples.

I listened to my husband's soft words and the anxious look. Crown Princess Chen Rong suddenly turned her face sadly, tears rolled down her eyes, and her voice was resentful. Said sadly: "It turns out that my cousin still knows to come back!" ”

Seeing this, Wei Jin took out the handkerchief he was carrying, pulled Chen Rong into his arms, and gently wiped the wet marks on her face for her, with a faint anger in his tone: "What are you talking about." ”

There is not much blame in the words, but there is distress and anxiety.

"Cousin, you secretly ran to Xie Yanhe, and now you have to come and ask me!" Wei Jin's words undoubtedly stabbed the hornet's nest, Chen Rong waved away Wei Jin's hand to wipe her tears, and the tears in her eyes fell down, looking heartbroken.

Wei Jin sighed heavily.

He had recently taken over some government from his father, the Emperor. But those courtiers were cunning and cunning, which made him repeatedly frustrated.

The previous dynasty was already very unhappy, otherwise he would not have let go of the pride of the prince of a country to make peace with Xie Yan.
