Chapter 3: Entering the Palace

However, Chen Rong never expected that on the same day that she was given the marriage to the prince:

His Majesty ignored the face of the crown prince and her daughter-in-law, and ordered Feng Hui to personally go to the eldest princess's mansion to pass the decree and canonize Xie Yanhe as the lord of Yonghe County.

Not only that, but this county lord is not just a fictitious title. His Majesty not only gave the mansion, but also the title and Tang Muyi.

Even if Xie Yanhe later avoided Jiangnan, His Majesty still had rewards every year, and his grace continued.

Now, His Majesty even awarded Xie Yanhe once again on the day he had just returned from Jiangnan.

His Majesty was even afraid that Xie Yanhe would be tired, so he asked her to enter the palace again the next day to thank her, and sent Feng Hui to pick up people in person.

Feng Hui, a eunuch, not to mention himself as a crown princess, is the crown prince, who has never been taken seriously by him, but now he is so attentive to Xie Yan and this.

One day, he will step Xie Yan and this into the dust, along with this group of villains who are high and low.

Thinking of this, Chen Rong clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her face was hideous.

It happened that the palace maid was carrying a bowl of almond tea, Chen Rong took it, only tasted it, and the cup smashed directly on the palace maid's head.

"! Do you want to burn Hongu to death? ”

Bright red blood flowed down the palace maid's jade white forehead, and the palace maid suddenly knelt on the ground tremblingly, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to beg for mercy.

The palace knows that the crown princess is tyrannical and cruel, and the palace maids who were killed by her in the East Palace do not know how many.

The female official Lu He next to the crown princess hurriedly scolded the palace maids on the left and right: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't drag people down yet! ”

This scene in the East Palace is just a small episode, and it is played out almost every day.

……

Xie Yanhe followed Feng Hui into the Qianyuan Palace, where the emperor lived daily.

As soon as he walked outside the hall, Feng Ying, who had already received the news, was at the door of the main hall, with a smile on his face that was extremely humble: "County Lord, Your Majesty has read the county lord several times in the morning, and it can be regarded as looking forward to you."

Xie Yanhe naturally recognized Feng Ying and smiled slightly: "Little Feng's father-in-law is polite." ”

Feng Ying is Feng Hui's godson, except for Feng Hui, he is the most useful in front of Emperor Jianyuan.

Amber, who followed Xie Yan and entered the palace, hurriedly handed over a purse, where did Feng Ying dare to accept it, and repeatedly refused, but Feng Hui said: "Since it is a reward from the county lord, you can just accept it."

Feng Ying dared to put his purse in his sleeve.

"County Lord, please inside."

Amber, who accompanied Xie Yan and entered the palace, followed Feng Ying to the side hall to wait.

Xie Yanhe was led by Feng Hui and personally sent people in.

Not to mention ordinary dependents, even some subordinates do not have such treatment.

In the warm pavilion, Emperor Jianyuan leaned lazily on the big kang near the window, and the carved kang table with red sandalwood inlaid with mica and hundreds of treasures was full of delicate dim sum.

Seeing Xie Yanhe come in, Wei Zhao's majestic and cold face suddenly showed a gentle smile.

"Sleep is coming."

Emperor Jianyuan's bottomless ink eyes revealed a faint hint of joy.

Xie Yanhe bowed and saluted: "Yonghe respectfully invites Your Majesty to Sheng'an."

Wei Zhao waved his hand and motioned for Xie Yan to get up, and his plain and majestic and indifferent voice was dyed with a little smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, and I have grown into a big girl."

Xie Yanhe straightened up, stood in the warm pavilion with his eyebrows lowered, and the whole person seemed very silent.

Obviously, three years ago, this girl who loves to talk and laugh was still big or small in front of her, and she was coquettish and stupid to herself, even if several princesses were not as favored as her.

Now, she is showing this respectful and restrained look, which is obviously resentful of herself.

Wei Zhao's eyes deepened, he got off the kang, as when Xie Yanhe was a child, gently took her hand, pulled Xie Yanhe to sit down on the kang, the smile on the corner of his lips was both helpless and full of doting: "You girl, you are so different from me."

The soft silk wrapped in his big palms was as soft as a boneless, as soft as a cloud, and Wei Zhao was almost reluctant to let go.

Afraid that Xie Yanhe would notice something unusual, Wei Zhao just shook it lightly, and then reluctantly let go of Xie Yanhe's soft twink.

He personally brought a plate of dim sum to Xie Yanhe and coaxed her gently: "Don't you like to eat pine nut and lily cake the most?" Taste it good or not. ”

Emperor Jianyuan coaxed people so eloquently, Xie Yanhe couldn't help but think of the days when he lived in the Yongwang Mansion in the past, and he was favored by Emperor Jianyuan's lawlessness.

Especially after experiencing the pain of losing his father and mother, Emperor Jianyuan cherished her as a porcelain doll, holding her in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of breaking it, that is even the eldest princess, the grandmother, has never given herself warmth and spoiling.

Xie Yanhe's heart softened, and a pair of watery bright eyes were filled with tears, afraid that Emperor Jianyuan would see it, she hurriedly turned to the side.

From Wei Zhao's point of view, Mianmian's side face was soft and charming, like the finest mutton fat white jade carving, because she was half of her body sideways, and her chest wrapped in heavy winter clothes rose and fell, Wei Zhao couldn't help but feel dry for a while.

Wei Zhao picked up the tea cup on the table and slowly drank a cup of tea, which slightly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"What a silly girl. Because of the crown prince, can you be separated from me? ”

Wei Zhao said angrily.

He held Xie Yanhe's fragrant shoulder, and noticed that the delicate body under his palm trembled slightly, as if he was holding back tears.

Wei Zhao's heart softened, and he loved and pitied her.

He raised his hand and stroked Xie Yan and his black hair, felt the silky touch between his fingers, and said softly:

"My cousin entrusted you to me before he died, and I love you more than my own daughter. The prince has lost his morality and done something sorry for you, and no one is more angry than in my heart.

But Mianmian, I am also a man, and men know men best, if I disregard the prince's wishes and force the prince to marry you, you will only suffer in the future. Once you and the prince become husband and wife, how can I interfere in this internal matter?

Therefore, I might as well push the boat down the river and become the prince.

Although Chen Rong married into the royal family, she seduced the prince first, and she was not upright, and she had her own hardships in the future. As for the crown prince...... I'll be angry with you someday. ”

Wei Zhao's dark eyes were bottomless, and he said earnestly.

Xie Yan and Wan didn't expect that Emperor Jianyuan had thought so much about her in private, and when he heard it, he was guilty and sad: "Your Majesty ......"

Like when she was a child, once she was wronged, she fell on Emperor Jianyuan's knees and cried bitterly.

"Good boy, it's all my fault, so that my sleep is wronged."

Wei Zhao's palm gently patted Xie Yanhe's jade back like a white jade pipa, and a pair of sharp eyes were so soft that they could drip water at the moment.

Feng Hui, who was standing on the side, didn't even dare to raise his head, treating himself as a wooden stake, lest he be swept away by Emperor Jianyuan's gaze.

In the room, there was only Xie Yanhe's low sobbing voice, and Emperor Jianyuan's soft voice comforting voice.

Xie Yanhe cried for a while before she stopped her tears, she was very embarrassed to leave the emperor's knees, a pair of crying eyes were foggy, and the red corners of her eyes seemed to be coated with rouge at the end of the eyes, pink like peach blossoms, charming and beautiful.

"Uncle......" Xie Yanhe called out the old name, she bit her lips with her teeth, and her crying voice was soft: "The princess hates me like this, and she is so afraid of sleeping......"

Wei Zhao knew that she was worried about the future, so he touched her hair soothingly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, in the future...... I've got your back. ”

With Emperor Jianyuan's assurance, Xie Yanhe's heart suddenly let go of most of it.

She sniffed, and her tear-washed eyes were like jewels soaked in spring water, clear and bright.

She pursed her lips, her white and quiet face showed a slight smile, and she coquettishly said to Emperor Jianyuan: "I knew that my uncle would not love me."

"Of course I love you."

The only one I love most is you. Wei Zhao swallowed the words that were about to blurt out in his heart, and looked at Xie Yanhe's gaze with extremely gentleness.

He raised his eyes, there was a flash of anger in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Feng Hui: "Go and fetch a basin of water to clean the county lord's face."

Feng Hui was pardoned and hurriedly took the order.

Xie Yanhe then remembered that there were other people in the warm pavilion, and their white and delicate skin was dyed with a faint red, like the glow of the moon, which was beautiful.

Wei Zhao sighed in his heart, Mianmian has really grown into a big girl.

The crown princess Chen Rong once had the reputation of being the crown of the ladies in Beijing, but she was bullying a few years ago and had not grown up, if the two of them stood together at this moment, Chen Rong would be like the light of the rice beads, and the sleep would be like the bright moon in the sky, Chen Rong was just humiliating herself.

Wei Zhao thought indifferently, and he didn't know if his stupid son would regret it now that he saw Mianmian.

It's just that even if he regrets it, it's too late.

He Wei Zhao's palm beads, whoever dares to stretch out his hand, he will break that person's bones one by one.

In the place where Xie Yanhe's eyes were out of reach, Wei Zhao's dark eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, which was bloodthirsty and ruthless when the tiger was protecting food.

Xie Yanhe accompanied Emperor Jianyuan to finish lunch, and seeing that it was not early, Xie Yanhe smiled and said goodbye to Emperor Jianyuan.

Although Wei Zhao was reluctant, he didn't dare to leave Xie Yanhe for too long, so as not to be seen by her, and after rewarding Xie Yan and a lot of things again, he sent Xie Yanhe out.

Feng Hui couldn't get away because of something, so he asked his godson Feng Ying to personally send Xie Yanhe out of the inner palace, and told Feng Ying to be sure to protect the county lord of Yonghe.

Feng Hui's worries were not unnecessary.

As soon as Xie Yanhe walked to the Imperial Garden, he bumped into the female official Zhang in front of the crown princess of the East Palace.

Zhang's was followed by a bunch of palace maids with big shoulders and round waists, and it was obvious that they were prepared.

"Lord Yonghe, the crown princess invites you to gather in the East Palace."

Xie Yan and a pair of delicate and bright eyes raised slightly, bringing out a touch of natural pride: "I understand the princess's kindness." It's just that I'm not feeling well and want to go back to my house to rest. ”

Lady Zhang didn't expect that the county lord of Yonghe would dare to refuse the invitation of the crown princess, and immediately said with a smile: "The slave maid is also acting on orders, and I hope that the county lord will not embarrass the slave maid."

As she spoke, Lady Zhang waved her right hand, and several stout palace maids stepped forward with a sly smile and hugged Xie Yanhe.

An extremely sharp voice suddenly came from the imperial garden: "Cheap girl dares!"

Feng Ying accompanied Xie Yanhe halfway through, and was suddenly called back by a little eunuch, saying that His Majesty had rewarded the county lord with a mutton fat white jade phoenix ring, and the county lord forgot to take it away.

Feng Ying turned back the same way and hurriedly followed the little eunuch to get the jade pendant, but he didn't expect to come back with his things, and as soon as he walked to the imperial garden, he ran into this scene that almost frightened him.

Feng Hui didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if he was too late and Xie Yanhe broke a little oily skin!
