The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 144 Xie Tinglan: I think...it looks pretty good

But half a month later, the direction of the court has changed again and again, and some people haven't figured out what's going on, and the prince who seems to be abolished is safe and sound.

On the contrary, the rising King Qi and the six kings who had just been named King Beixiang were all imprisoned.

The former prince's party swept away the decline, and everyone was energetic, but those officials who retreated bravely when the prince was in trouble, everyone was in danger.

A few days later, Xie Tinglan received an invitation from Concubine Xian to enter the palace.

Perhaps it was because her previous reminder to Fu Zhaoyao had an effect, Concubine Xian's condition was much better than Xie Tinglan expected.

Although she was more haggard than when she held a banquet in the palace before, her face was glowing red, which showed that she had been well-fed these past few days.

Fu Zhaoyao was also radiant, and pulled her to sit down with a smile on his face, "It's my concubine mother who wants to thank you for looking for you today."

Xie Tinglan heard the words, got up and wanted to salute the concubine Xian, but was stopped by the concubine dangerously.

Her eyes were gentle, "My good boy, if you see me in the future, don't be polite."

Xie Tinglan was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "My lady is my lady, how can I be disrespectful."

Concubine Xian laughed lightly and said: "You treat me like your mother. But when we were in trouble, you were still willing to help us and never made trouble. I would rather treat you as my daughter."

Xie Tinglan was really flattered, she heard that Concubine Xian was gentle, but she didn't expect that she just casually reminded Fu Zhaoyao a word, and Concubine Xian took it to heart.

Xie Tinglan said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. I just said a word. It didn't help me much."

Concubine Xian's eyes were unclear, and she said softly: "If you say you are helping, I should really thank another person. But... Maybe you two have some fate in the future, and the love he gave can also be counted on you ..."

Concubine Xian covered her lips with a shy smile after she finished speaking, "Oh, actually speaking, I'm usually a little afraid of him, even if I thank you, I can't think of any good ways to thank him. So I thought, thanking you is the same, right? .”

Xie Tinglan was taken aback for a moment, what Concubine Xian said was more or less inseparable, it was Fu Pingye.

It's so obvious, could it be that the emperor and the imperial concubine are settled so quickly?
Xie Tinglan smiled lightly and did not answer, but Fu Zhaoyao felt embarrassed for his mother and concubine, feeling that she had talked too much at this time.

The father and the imperial concubine have made Xie Tinglan the Crown Princess, and the imperial concubine secretly revealed it to the concubine mother when she came to visit her yesterday.

I'm afraid Xie Tinglan still doesn't know about this matter. It's no wonder if the concubine mother said so, she wouldn't be embarrassed.

Fu Zhaoyao said: "Mother Concubine, I will take Ting Lan to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

"Okay, Concubine Mother asked the dining room to prepare lunch, don't forget to come back." Concubine Xian stood up from her chair.

The two left Zhongcui Palace and walked towards the Imperial Garden.

There was no one in the Imperial Garden at this time, Fu Zhaoyao looked around, pulled Xie Tinglan's sleeve, and said with some embarrassment:
"Because of Xie Shuhui...I haven't properly apologized to you yet."

Xie Tinglan smiled and shook his head, "Princess doesn't have to be like this, you were also deceived by her."

"After these two days of free time, I asked a lot of people, only to realize that I was deceived by her before and misunderstood so many things about you." Fu Zhaoyao felt regretful and thankful.

Needless to say, although the Qiu family's incident this time made the three of them quite frightened, they were blessed by misfortune and gained a lot.

It's similar to those diners who flattered the Qiu family with their mouths, but ran away after the Qiu family was in trouble.

There is also Xie Shuhui who seems to have a deep affection with her sisters, but is actually just to use her, thanking guests behind closed doors and destroying tokens at critical moments, and even making trouble.

If this incident hadn't happened, Fu Zhaoyao wouldn't have known how many unreasonable things he would have done for Xie Shuhui because of his credulous trust in her.

"It was a blessing in disguise." Xie Tinglan said.

The two chatted for a few words, Fu Zhaoyao raised his eyes and said in astonishment: "Brother Huang! Ruier, how could you..."

Xie Tinglan followed the sound, and his eyes collided with Fu Pingye.

She was slightly taken aback.

Since the last meeting at the palace banquet, the two have not been in touch. Xie Tinglan felt a little embarrassed on the one hand, and thought it was unnecessary on the other hand.

Although she doesn't care about her reputation, she doesn't want to spread more rumors with Fu Pingye and bring shame to the Duke Protector's House.

But after the marriage decree came down, these things were no longer a problem.

It was also unexpected to meet him in the palace, Xie Tinglan closed his eyes and saluted, "Greetings to the two Highnesses."

When Fu Pingye saw Xie Tinglan at first, he was very happy, but seeing her lukewarm attitude, Fu Pingye suddenly became cold as if he had been poured cold water.

He frowned slightly, and said a word.

Fu Rui ran forward and explained to Fu Zhaoyao: "Sister Huang, Brother Huang is going to visit Concubine Mother. By the way, I would like to ask about your situation. Concubine Mother said that you and Miss Xie came to the Imperial Garden, so Brother Huang came here Yes, I will be with the emperor."

Fu Rui looked at Xie Tinglan with bright eyes, "I just got off early school, and I heard that Miss Xie came to the palace to visit her mother and concubine, so I hurried back to the palace, but Miss Xie left. I still don't know what happened to my sister before. I haven't thanked you, Miss!"

Fu Rui is a big kid, and although he called Miss Xie one by one, he was alienated, but his voice was sweet, which did not affect intimacy in the slightest.

He was always so angry with his younger brother Nizi at home that his heart, liver and lungs ached together, but when he saw Fu Rui, Xie Tinglan felt obedient, and leaned down slightly to chat with him.

Fu Pingye felt more and more aggrieved, at first he was able to contain his temper, but when the two chatted so much that they forgot that there was another person here, Fu Pingye was in a bad mood.

Seeing that Fu Rui's superior invited Xie Tinglan to go fishing with him in the pond in the palace, Fu Pingye couldn't bear it and poured him a basin of cold water.

"You got zero points in the last academic test, and you still want to go fishing? Have you finished memorizing the ancient prose given by the master? My father said that I will go to Zhongcui Palace tonight to take your homework."

Fu Rui was struck by lightning, "Father is coming to pick my homework tonight!!"

Xie Tinglan couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I can't go fishing with the Tenth Prince today."

"Damn it, why is it today." Fu Rui pouted and looked at Xie Tinglan, and said, "Then when sister Xie enters the palace some other day, you must come and go fishing with me!"

"Yes, Your Highness, go back and recite the ancient prose."

Fu Rui dejectedly followed Xiao Guizi to Zhongcui Palace, halfway there, he didn't forget to turn around and wave to Xie Tinglan and the others.

Fu Zhaoyao tilted her head and thought, how could she remember that when the imperial concubine came yesterday, she said that her father was going to Yongle Palace today?
She glanced at Fu Pingye curiously, and found that Brother Huang had been secretly looking at Xie Tinglan, Fu Zhaoyao was taken aback.

Could it be that Brother Huang said that his father would come tonight just to trick Fu Rui back to endorse and not let him cling to Xie Tinglan!

that--

Sure enough, after Fu Rui disappeared at the Yuemen Gate of the Royal Garden, Fu Pingye's eyes swept over to Fu Zhaoyao.

Fu Zhaoyao was in a dilemma for a while, and she was also very afraid of Brother Huang, if she didn't follow Brother Huang's wishes, she might be scolded, but if she left, wouldn't it be bad for Xie Tinglan?
Xie Tinglan had already guessed what Fu Pingye meant, after all, this guy really had no intention of hiding his gaze.

Fortunately, this is the palace, and there are no people around.

Xie Tinglan sighed secretly in her heart, she turned her head away and said to Fu Zhaoyao: "Princess, this place is relatively close to the Yongle Palace where the imperial concubine lives. I want to go and greet the imperial concubine. But if this is the case, I'm afraid I will go back to Zhongcui Palace for lunch." The meal will be later, why don't you go back first and tell your empress."

This was an excuse for him to leave, Fu Zhaoyao saw that Xie Tinglan didn't intend to force it, so he agreed.

"Then I'll go back first."

Fu Zhaoyao bowed to Fu Pingye, then turned back to Zhongcui Palace.

Xie Tinglan looked at Fu Pingye and said with a smile: "My daughter is not very familiar with the route in the palace. Can I trouble Your Highness to lead my daughter to Yongle Palace?"

After Fu Zhaoyao took the initiative to send Fu Zhaoyao away, Fu Pingye's complexion improved a lot, he raised his chin slightly, turned around and said, "Come on."

The two walked around a few times and left the imperial garden, but the further they went, the more they went sideways.

Xie Tinglan waited for a while before speaking, and forced a smile to say: "Has Your Highness lost his way? This is probably not the way to Yongle Palace."

"You just follow Gulai." Fu Pingye didn't feel guilty when he was exposed, he strode forward, and glanced behind him from the corner of his eye from time to time to see if Xie Tinglan had followed.

The two came to the same place step by step, Xie Tinglan was not familiar with the route in the palace, she knew early on that this was the way to the East Palace.

Sure enough, it stopped in front of the east palace gate, under the palace wall not far away.

The sky was clear, the breeze was blowing, under the red walls and green tiles, there was only the two of them in the empty corridor.

Xie Tinglan didn't know why, but Fu Pingye stopped, and she stopped walking, and looked around.

Looking up and looking around, I found that this place is full of peach trees. In April, the peach blossoms are full of trees, and the white petals are falling with the breeze. The scenery is very good.

Xie Tinglan couldn't help but raised his hand to pick up a fallen flower, and it turned out to be a complete one.

She stared at the white peach blossoms quietly attached to her palm, thinking that Fu Pingye brought her here because he wanted her to see the scenery?
Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly approached beside him, Xie Tinglan raised his eyes and met Fu Pingye's gaze.

At the same time, the palm is heavy.

Xie Tinglan looked back, and there was a white jade hairpin pressed on top of the peach blossoms. The two were similar in color, so they matched very well.

Xie Tinglan picked up the hairpin and looked at it. Although the jade used for the hairpin was high-quality jade, it was not polished very delicately. The craftsmanship of this craftsman needs to be improved...

Xie Tinglan thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

She held the jade hairpin and looked at Fu Pingye, caught a glimpse of his reddish ears, and guessed the true identity of this craftsman.

Xie Tinglan said: "Your Highness has been busy with that matter these days, and you still have time to carve hairpins for me."

Fu Pingye coughed a few times.

In fact, before returning to Beijing, he had arranged all those things.

After returning to Beijing, he locked himself in the East Palace, just to grind the hairpin all the time.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness, who is proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, really can't do this kind of meticulous work. He destroyed several high-quality jades to barely carve this decent one.

Fu Pingye's tone was light, and he asked cautiously: "You, do you like it?"

Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows, looked at the hairpin for a moment, then put his hand into Fu Pingye's hand.

Fu Ping's ambition sank, and he was about to say something when Xie Tinglan raised his hand and pulled out the jade hairpin from his bun.

The bun was fixed and did not come loose. Xie Tinglan turned around, turned his back to Fu Pingye and did not speak.

Fu Pingye's heart beat like a drum, a gust of wind hit, and the falling flowers floated on Xie Tinglan's head.

Fu Pingye brushed it gently with his hand, and slowly inserted the jade hairpin into Xie Tinglan's bun.

He was stunned for a long time without recovering.

Xie Tinglan turned around and said to himself that Fu Pingye really didn't help anyone untie the bun, and the hairpin was not tight even if it was not straight.

Afraid that the hairpin would fall off, she supported it and pushed it in.

At this time, Fu Pingye's voice came from above her head:

"Star."

"will you marry me?"

Xie Tinglan shook his hand.

At dusk, Xie Mansion was on the carriage on the way back.

Yuxiu handed the poured water to Xie Tinglan, then sat down beside her.

After looking at her for a moment, he let out a curious sigh.

Yuxiu leaned forward, tapped Xie Tinglan's cheekbones with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Young lady's face is so red and hot. I just thought it was because of the setting sun shining through the window."

Xie Tinglan choked on the water, coughed for a long time, and replied sullenly: "It's just because of the heat..."

"Speaking of which, Miss and the Fifth Princess went to the Imperial Garden, and after returning, they were also out of their minds. The Fifth Princess said that Miss, you went to greet the imperial concubine. Could it be that something happened during the greeting?" Yuxiu was curious. He brought his face closer.

The more Xie Tinglan thought about it, the more he couldn't control the heat on his face, he raised his hand and pressed Yuxiu's face back.

"Nothing, just sit down!"

Yuxiu pursed her lips in aggrieved manner, not daring to ask any more questions.

Xie Tinglan took a deep breath, turned his head and looked out of the window, trying to distract himself so as to forget what happened in the East Palace.

But she has been working hard for almost a day, and it is obvious that there is no result.

Xie Tinglan gave up on herself, and in the end she simply recalled what happened in the East Palace.

I don't know what's wrong with Fu Pingye. He suddenly carved a hairpin for her and asked if he would marry her.

Can you decide whether to marry him or not!

When the emperor issued an imperial decree, there was no place for her to be willing or not.

Although Xie Tinglan thought so in his heart, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched.

Fu Pingye's words really touched her heart. If she could choose, Xie Tinglan would of course want to spend the rest of her life in peace.

It's a pity that she can't, even if she doesn't marry the prince, there are still many people.

Instead of that, she prefers to choose a person who is close to her eyes and heart, and lives with respect as a guest.

Now, her goal has been achieved.

"Miss, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

Yuxiu's voice timidly came from behind Xie Tinglan, interrupting her thoughts.

Xie Tinglan turned her head helplessly, and said with a smile, "Speak, you can say whatever you want."

It's just pretending.

"Who made Miss seem angry just now." No matter how daring Yu Xiu was, she did not dare to make a mistake when Xie Tinglan was angry.

She cleared her throat, pointed at Xie Tinglan's hair bun and said, "I remember that Miss today was wearing a sapphire hairpin, why did she change it to a white jade hairpin?"

"And this one is so rough."

Xie Tinglan blinked, she raised her hand to take off the hairpin, put it in her palm and looked at it for a moment.

Fu Pingye was on the head of the hairpin, and he carved what looked like a little fox. Unfortunately, his craftsmanship was not up to standard, and the fox was fat and stupid.

Xie Tinglan caressed for a moment, then chuckled.

"I think it's pretty pretty."
