Chapter Ninety-One: The Victory or Defeat Is Determined at the Beginning
On the Kunming Mountain that stands across the lake, a gust of west wind rolls down, disturbing the golden waves of the pond, the weeping willows on the embankment, the begonias bend their waists, the purple robe of the young man under the willows is flying, standing with his hands in his hands, and his eyebrows are stretched.
Looking at the nervous look of the girl in front of him, the third prince felt that he had regained control of the rhythm of the situation, took a few steady steps, came to Yijing's side, leaned over and leaned in his ear: "Your sister's orchid hairpin is in my hands right now, is this counted, a threat?" β
"How is the hairpin in the hands of His Highness?"
This question once again made the third prince wonder, shouldn't she be worried about what she will do next? Why do you pay attention to how the hairpin gets into your hands?
"Fifth sister, right now, it's not time for you to ask." The corners of the lips of the third prince were delicate and like rhombic flowers, and they stretched out, and that smile actually made Fang Fei lose color.
Yijing seemed to feel that the two were already standing very close, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she crashed into those amber eyes, and the ambergris approaching the tip of her nose made her involuntarily take a small step back.
This step back made the eyes of the three princes shallow and deepened.
Suddenly, there was such an ambiguous silence, one staring meaningfully, and the other quickly calculating countermeasures.
Between the lightning and flint, Yijing thought about it - the terrible orchid hairpin turned out to be in the hands of this demon, but if he really wanted to force his grandmother to allow this family business, he should use this orchid hairpin to cause a storm to force his grandmother to compromise, or threaten the eldest sister to compromise, not against himself.
The intention of the three princes is really not simple.
Thinking of this, Yijing smiled lightly.
This smile, like an epiphany that has been brewing for a long time in Shaohua, blooms silently but abruptly.
The third prince couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyes.
"What does Your Highness really want to know?" The beautiful scenery that had calmed down began to lay the trap.
"I just want to hear the truth from the fifth sister, not a bunch of perfunctory words."
"What the little girl said is the truth, and I really don't understand why His Highness doesn't believe it." Yijing half-tilted his cheeks, and his expression was quite innocent.
Her sudden calmness made the third prince anxious again for no reason, and the palm behind her couldn't help but clench quietly: "Tell the truth? Fifth sister is really a fool to me, just a few little beggars, you found out that I met with the red clothes? You, a boudoir woman, how did you buy the maid of the brothel and drugged me in tea? Also, the servant girl is nowhere to be seen now, could it be that you have collected it in the Weiguo Mansion? Or did you just kill someone? You tried your best, made arrangements, and even stole the jade seal given by the emperor, the purpose is really as simple as your sister's life? β
These words naturally made the beautiful scenery like falling into five clouds.
"Fifth sister, don't say you don't know anything." The third prince took another step closer, bowed slightly, his eyelids were half thin, and a dangerous look flowed in his eyes.
Seriously, I don't know what to do, but ...... Suddenly, Yi Jing figured out something: "The girl in red turned out to be not an ordinary prostitute, His Royal Highness went to meet her in Qianrao Pavilion, but she fell for other calculations?" β
Seeing the unpredictable expression of the third prince, Yi Jing became even more determined: "Your Royal Highness intends to marry with the Weiguo Mansion, I am afraid that it is not only to consolidate the power of the crown prince, let alone any rhetoric that admires the beauty...... I don't know how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother understand His Royal Highness's thoughts? β
"What do you say! You know what! At this moment, the third prince was really shocked.
For more than ten years, he has been deliberate, playing the role of an uninhibited gentleman who recites the wind and the moon, and travels in the mountains and rivers, and successfully coaxes everyone to be defenseless against him, but the girl in front of him who has not yet reached the end of the day has so easily insight into his forbearance.
Could it be that in this world, there are really people who have a seven-trick exquisite heart?
"I don't really know anything, His Highness told me everything." Yijing did not shy away from it, that orchid hairpin was always a potential threat to Yichen, and she couldn't ignore it: "At first, I wondered why His Highness was obsessed with my actions and didn't trust what I said...... His Royal Highness repeatedly asked me how I knew about the existence of the red clothes and how I knew the whereabouts of the highness, in fact, I suspected that I knew that the red clothes were not simple, and even more, His Royal Highness claimed that it was because he was drugged that day that he was knocked out by the Zhu family and the red clothes, which shows that His Royal Highness has no selfish relationship with the red clothes, and he frequently meets with the red clothes, it must be for something else. β
Another gust of wind rose, blowing willow silk, infiltrating the golden sun, and falling on the girl's beautiful cheeks with a light smile: "If Your Highness acts like this, it is under the instructions of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Prince, when you learn that it is me who is bad, it should not be as simple as Your Highness using the orchid hairpin as a threat to interrogate me, obviously, Your Highness does not want to publicize this matter, which also shows that Your Highness is worried about the hidden secrets, and will be known by the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Prince." β
After saying this, Yi Jing saw that the eyebrows of the third prince instantly froze, and the jade face was even more like a layer of ice, and he was inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart, so he took a step back, but he still insisted on finishing his words: "Since Your Highness has no intentions, then you are bent on marrying my eldest sister, naturally it is not as simple as consolidating the power of the crown prince, if Your Highness is as free and uninhibited as it seems, it should not be so persistent." β
Having said that, it is enough, the three princes are ambitious, and Yijing does not want to point it out.
But these words, to the third prince, were like a hurricane, completely disrupting his thinking, his nose began to scale uncontrollably, and the dangerous look in his eyes became even thicker.
"Your Royal Highness, the little girl is just a boudoir woman, all she wants is to make her sister unhappy, her sister is virtuous and gentle, and she has lost the opportunity slightly, and she is really not a good match for Her Highness." In the end, Yijing expressed his heart very sincerely.
Today's unexpected events have subverted her preconceived understanding of this demon, and she realized that the third prince was merciful everywhere in his previous life, but it was also one of the masks, and what he wanted was to be the position of the prince, and the eldest sister, whether it was scheming or planning, was really not suitable for such an ambitious third prince.
Of course, Yijing had no intention of stopping the ambitions of the three princes at all.
Since each of them is holding each other's handles, it is better to erase it with one stroke...... The beautiful scenery is still naΓ―ve in the end.
When she saw the demon in front of her, she clearly tried her best to suppress her chagrin, and her eyes were as sharp as arrows, as if she was about to roar out...... Suddenly, he smiled seductively.
Yijing suddenly felt cold.
"The fifth sister is really wise, she doesn't look like a twelve-year-old lady, but she looks like a demon who has lived for several lifetimes."
Yijing immediately cried and laughed - I am a demon? His Royal Highness the Third Prince, in front of you, who else is worthy of the word "demon"?
"The fifth sister is very good at the analysis, His Royal Highness thinks it is true, Sister Chen is simple-minded, and it is indeed not suitable for such a treacherous situation." The corners of his lips were exaggeratedly hooked, and the third prince unconsciously clenched the palm of the folding fan, and only at this moment did he loosen it slightly: "But since you know the plot in my heart, you should understand that I will not just give up, the in-law of the Weiguo Mansion is really crucial to me." β
Yijing's heart sank.
"I heard that my aunt and grandmother have reached an agreement to make Sister Chen the second princess...... Your sisters are blood relatives, Sister Chen has this good fate, and the fifth sister must be relieved, right? What should I do, if at this critical juncture, there is any turmoil, so that Sister Chen's reputation will be damaged......" Looking at the girl who was confident and smiling just now, she glared at herself angrily at this time, and the frustration in the heart of the third prince dissipated a little, and the corners of her lips became even more enchanting: "The fifth sister doesn't know me very well, if I can't get it, I will always think about it, tossing and turning, and I can't sleep, rather than suffering alone, it is better to let a few more people accompany me." β
Gently shaking the folding fan, the third prince admired the fury of the beautiful scenery for a while, and then said: "The fifth sister's speculation, don't say that the prince and the queen may not believe it, even if they believe it, they will be wary of me from now on, and it is nothing...... Since the idle gentleman can't continue to act, the prodigal son who has changed his past mistakes must still be satisfied with his father and grandmother...... Since I have a plan, I am naturally prepared to tear my face with the queen and the crown prince, and the fifth sister's inference is not a threat to me at all. β
The third prince may be able to go out and turn against the queen, but Yijing can't ignore Yichen's lifelong events.
The initiative had to be reversed in a moment, and Yi Jing couldn't do anything for a while, glaring angrily, and asked with a cold face: "Then how will Your Highness return the orchid hairpin to its original owner?" β
The acquaintance is Junjie, this little girl really has a little bit of her aunt's grandmother's anger that she didn't let her eyebrows back then, the third prince admired in his heart, and couldn't help but be triumphant: "The fifth sister is really good, since it has damaged my marriage, there is naturally a way to make up for it, I have two proposals for the fifth sister to think twice, one of them, let my aunt and grandmother change their minds and achieve my marriage with Sister Chen." β
Yi Jing snorted coldly: "Your Highness, let's say something else." β
"Sister really wants to listen?"
Yi Jing raised his eyebrows, and he just wanted to recite a spell to make the demon in front of him disappear.
"My sister said earlier that Sister Chen and I are not a good match, I deeply think so, and when I talk to my sister today, I think you are more suitable than Sister Chen for these three princesses." The demon stood firmly under the golden sun, gently shaking the folding fan, the corners of his lips were charming, but he was calm and relaxed.
Yijing suddenly felt that the dark clouds were overhead, and countless curses surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but burst out-
"Fifth sister!"
The stalemate between the two was suddenly disturbed by Liu Niang's suddenness.
"Fifth sister, don't worry, you have time to think about it."
After a sentence, the third prince turned around with a smile and greeted each other with Liuniang politely.
Many years later, when the third prince recalled the confrontation with Yijing, after a few tastes, he suddenly realized that she had never been in his grasp and control, because from that time, he began to fall involuntarily, and he couldn't be ruthless to her, from beginning to end.
It was not so much a transaction, but rather a show of weakness on his part, knowing her weaknesses clearly, but also exposing his weaknesses in front of her.
From the very beginning, their confrontation was doomed.
As a result, there is no way to recover from winning and losing.
