Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rewarding the Lotus
Qishu.com . The fastest update of the latest chapter of Jiao Niang as a concubine!
Yi Xuan turned around, looked up at him, his eyes lacked the same brilliance as before, he pursed his lower lip slightly, and said, "I'm fine." ”
She's just a little bit of a go-getter.
She knew Zhao Zhen's difficulties. After all, Li Jingyan is the concubine of the Marquis of Anding, and if Zhao Zhenruo severely fines Li Jingyan, the Marquis of Anding will not be happy. So she doesn't cry or make a fuss.
But it doesn't mean that she is not aggrieved in her heart.
"I'll look at your injuries." Zhao Zhen ripped Yi Xuan's hair apart and stared at her ears for a long time, the knife edge was not deep, but as long as the sword blade was slightly offset, it was Yi Xuan's neck that pierced it.
He pursed his lips, his gaze slightly cold.
"Shuang'er protector has merit, reward 100 horses of silk and 100 taels of gold." Zhao Zhen waved his hand at Shuang'er, "You go down first." ”
Shuang'er bent down and took his leave.
Zhao Zhen gently stroked Yixuan's head and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
His gaze fell to her neck, his hand slid down, touched the soft skin, and then he pulled her into his arms, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Yi Xuan's heart warmed, smiled faintly, and stroked his back, "I'm really fine." ”
"Li Jingyan knows your identity?"
"Yes."
"Then don't hide it. Starting tomorrow, I will appoint 500 sergeants for your disposal, and I will arrange them inside and outside the courtyard. ”
Yixuan hesitated. In fact, Zhao Zhen mentioned it many times, but she rejected it. Although the sergeant escort was safe, it was not very comfortable, as if someone was watching the action.
This time, Zhao Zhen was not discussing with her at all.
"Okay." Yixuan agreed.
Zhao Zhen smiled, put her little hand in the palm of her hand, and said, "I'll take you to meet Li Jingyan." ”
The two walked out of the courtyard and walked slowly along the corridor, Zhao Zhen always held her hand. The sun is slightly oblique, and a moon hook looms in the eastern sky.
Li Jingyan often comes to Ningxia, so she has a separate courtyard in the mansion. Li Xianzhi knew that his sister liked peonies, so he planted peonies all over the yard to make his sister happy. Yao Huang, Wei Hua, Lin Jiahong and other famous products are gathered in one courtyard.
Now that the peony is in full bloom and the flowers are withering, Li Jingyan sat by the window and looked at the remnants of the courtyard flowers, thinking that her brother was locked up in prison and she was locked up in this yard, she couldn't help but cry sadly.
The courtyard door was opened, and a trace of joy flashed in Li Jingyan's heart.
Did the prince come to see her?
However, the next sight quickly turned her face gray.
Zhao Zhen was standing next to a delicate girl, and they were holding hands.
Zhao Zhen never held her hand. Zhao Zhen can be regarded as gentle with her, but he is not intimate. She always thought that Zhao Zhen was cold by nature and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of men and women. Although I hated in my heart, I was helpless.
He also has a time of warmth......
Li Jingyan smiled bitterly, gritted her teeth, got down from the kang, and knelt straight at the door.
Zhao Zhen pushed the door and saw Li Jingyan kneeling on the ground, so he frowned, "What are you doing?" ”
Li Jingyan's eyes were red, she glanced at Yixuan with hatred, and kowtowed: "The concubine is guilty, and the ghost almost hurt the princess." I beg the princess not to care about the villain, and don't worry about me as an ignorant person. Ask the prince and princess for forgiveness. ”
She buried her head on the ground and refused to get up, and she was plainly clothed, and the lead was faded, which was a little touching.
Yi Xuan said indifferently: "Ignorance is not an excuse to do evil. You are wrong to be arrogant and arrogant, and to hurt people's lives at will, not because you don't know the identity of my princess. ”
"I heard that the side concubine was in the Yuwang Mansion in Ganzhou, killing and selling dozens of maids, is it true?"
Li Jingyan raised her head in astonishment, and looked at Yi Xuan, she trembled with the coldness in Yi Xuan's eyes, and opened her mouth to argue: "As a side concubine, it is natural for me to discipline my subordinates." ”
Yi Xuan smiled, "I won't bother the side concubine in the future." The palace will discipline its subordinates. ”
Li Jingyan gritted her teeth, but she had to be respectful in front of Zhao Zhen, and nodded angrily, "The princess taught me a lesson." ”
"Are you really so domineering?" Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "What mistakes did those maids make?" ”
He rarely asked about the affairs of the house, and he heard some by chance, but he didn't care.
Li Jingyan, who actually connived, is so arrogant!
“…… Zuo is just some subordinates who don't understand the rules, so I'll teach them a lesson. ”
Zhao Zhen sneered, "It's not that they don't understand the rules, they just angered you." Li Jingyan, do you think that the palace is your mother's house, and you are allowed to be lawless? ”
"Lord Wang, I ......" Li Jingyan lost her blood.
She's always been like that. Zhao Zhen didn't know it before, but he never reprimanded her for it.
What are those subordinates! It's just a cheap life! Does the prince care? What he cares about is afraid that there is only this Princess Yu!
Li Jingyan didn't say a word, trying her best to hold back her tears.
"The princess punished well, don't go out these days, copy the "Female Commandment" twenty times, and cultivate yourself well."
Zhao Zhen hugged Yixuan, "Let's go." ”
"Lord Wang! Rajah! Wait, the concubine still has one thing to ask for, begging the prince to spare his brother! Brother is loyal to you, for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, you can't listen to slander......" Li Jingyan took a few steps on her knees, grabbed the hem of Zhao Zhen's clothes, and cried and pleaded.
Zhao Zhen was impatient: "Did I say I wanted to kill him?" ”
"Even if you don't kill him, my brother is living in prison in humiliation, how do you let my father and mother accept it?" Li Jingyan wiped a handful of tears, and seeing that Zhao Zhen was unmoved, she turned to Yixuan: "Ask the princess to help me persuade the prince." I don't want my brother to be reinstated, I just want the prince to let him go! ”
When Li Xian was imprisoned, the Li family was very anxious, and sent letters to Li Jingyan again and again, asking her to persuade the prince to let Li Xian go. Li Jingyan and Li Xian are brothers and sisters, how can they watch Li Xian suffer in prison?
Yixuan saw that her face was full of tears, and she was overwhelmed with grief, and couldn't help but think of Wen Changbai. If something happens to Wen Changbai, she will never be able to watch from the wall.
Yi Xuan's compassion rises. And she knew that Zhao Zhen's detention of Li Xian was just to make him suffer in prison, what happened to Li Xian, and what would happen to the Marquis of Anding.
"I will persuade the prince."
"Really?" A bright light suddenly appeared in Li Jingyan's eyes, "Thank you, Princess!" If you can really rescue my brother, you are the great benefactor of my Li family! ”
Yi Xuan smiled and went out with Zhao Zhen.
It's still dark, and in summer, it's always dark and late. Zhao Zhen's eyebrows frowned slightly, obviously in a bad mood. Yi Xuan proposed: "There is a lake in this Li Mansion, I heard the maid say that the lotus flowers are blooming very well, let's go and see?" ”
Zhao Zhen sighed lightly, "It's okay." ”
The red light poured into the water, but I saw half of the lake remnant sun and half of the lake lotus.
The early summer evening is still cool. Yixuan was wearing an apricot yellow shirt, and her clothes fluttered in the wind, bringing up a wisp or two of fragrance. The fragrance seemed to blow Zhao Zhen's sorrow away, and he stared down at her.
The girl's side face is gentle, especially in the halo of the sunset, the bun is biased to the right, and only a silver hairpin is pinned, and the hairpin head is embedded with an eastern pearl, and the color is soft. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, and there was a casual lazy charm.
Sensing that he was looking at her, she smiled lightly and asked, "What does Your Highness see me doing?" ”
"Look at you, you can make me feel at peace." Zhao Zhen is serious.
Yi Xuan's face flushed, took Zhao Zhen's hand, and walked to the wooden bridge outside the Lake Center Pavilion. The wooden bridge is straight and close to the lake. She sat down, took off her shoes and socks, and tapped her toes into the water, noticing that it was not very cold, and giggled, and both feet were dangling in the water.
It's like a child. Zhao Zhen sighed softly in his heart.
He gently stroked Yixuan's head, his expression doting and gentle. Yixuan pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Highness also sits." ”
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to sit down beside her.
Yixuan leaned against him, her expression was happy and contented, and she couldn't help humming a small tune. Zhao Zhen rarely saw her childish, and felt cute in her heart, and couldn't help but bow her head and kiss her.
Kissing and kissing, the girl suddenly became interested, and the girl's whole body was pressed down, and her back was against the wooden bridge. Zhao Zhen untied the girl's clothes with his hands.
Yixuan sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly put her hands on her chest, and shyly refused: "Don't." ”
Zhao Zhen coaxed her in her ear: "There is no one here." He grabbed her little hand and put it to his lips and kissed it.
"No, I can't. What if I do, and I won't see anyone when I'm seen? Yi Xuan pouted, as if angry. Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, touched her little face and promised: "Okay, okay, I won't touch you." ”
Zhao Zhen sat up first, and then pulled the girl into his arms, his hands still restlessly touching and hugging. Yixuan couldn't stop it, so she didn't care.
"When does His Highness plan to release Li Xian?" Yixuan asked suddenly.
Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, and his voice fluctuated subtly: "You want me to let him go?" ”
"His Highness should let him go."
"Why?"
"Whether it's for me or for His Highness himself, Li Xian should be released. Keeping Li Xian in prison will only arouse the anger of An Dinghou and make Li Jingyan hate me to the core. In that case, why not let Li Xian go home? ”
Yixuan looked at Zhao Zhen with wide eyes, with an innocent expression. In fact, this little girl has a lot of calculations in her heart, and everything she does is clear.
"Li Xian actually deserves to die...... But I can't kill him now. The Marquis of Anding had great prestige in the northwest, and he killed Li Xian, but he was afraid that the army's morale would be shaken, which was not conducive to the war. There was a hint of melancholy in Zhao Zhen's eyes.
Yi Xuan smiled, "Your Highness said that Li Xian deserved to die because he kidnapped me." Other than that, there really wasn't anything that could kill him. I'm safe, forget it. ”
Zhao Zhen looked at her seriously: "If you have a trace of reluctance in your heart......"
"Nope." Yixuan shook her head.
Let Li Xian go, Li Jingyan will owe her a favor no matter what.
"I know, in two days, I'll let Li Xian out."
Yi Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise", rubbed her stomach again, and said, "I'm hungry." Let's eat. ”
Yixuan shook her feet and tried her best to shake off all the water before putting on her shoes and socks. Walking back to the shore of the lake along the wooden bridge, I saw a lotus leaf rising high out of the water, and a ball of water rolled on the round leaf surface. I couldn't help but feel itchy, so I had to reach for the lotus leaf.
Her hands weren't long enough, and they were so hard that she almost tumbled into the lake. Fortunately, Zhao Zhen hugged her waist in time and carried her back to the bridge to stand.
"I'll get it for you." Zhao Zhen scratched her nose, bent down and reached out to catch the lotus leaf, and with a pull, shook off the water droplets, and turned it over to cover the top of the girl's head.
"Zhao Zhen!"
