Chapter 587 A Gift to His Royal Highness the Prince

Zhao Xiwei asked Yang Yi a few words.

For example, "what happened in the palace", the answer was "the subordinates are waiting in the corridor and don't know the situation in the inner hall".

When asked "what is the so-called dispatch of the second guard", the answer was "the prince personally passed the order, and the subordinates obeyed the order".

Finally, she thought about it and asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "How is His Royal Highness?"

Yang Yi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the crown prince. Even if there are some disputes, there will be no barriers. Please rest assured, the crown princess."

It sounded like they answered everything, but they didn't answer anything.

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, feeling displeased but helpless.

This Yang Yi was thoughtful and flexible, and it was as difficult as going to heaven to get a routine out of his mouth.It contrasts with Yuan Ce, who is dumb and has no clue.

It seems that His Royal Highness is really flexible in employing people. He specially appointed Yang Yi to come over this matter, probably because he didn't want her to ask anything.

Seeing that Zhao Xi pursed her lips slightly and remained silent, Yang Yi seemed to have guessed what was on her mind, so she hurriedly comforted her: "This subordinate also wanted to ask a few more questions, but the palace of Zichen was very busy, and I waited for the errands. It’s not easy to go over and ask around, it’s so easy to hope that Eunuch Cao will come out to deliver a message, but there is nothing else but to let his subordinates come back..."

Wei Yi pondered, and tentatively said: "Or, the sister-in-law of the uncle's cousin's family has a daughter who works in the Royal Garden, and I heard that she is a fellow villager , for the sake of acquaintance, should the subordinate ask him to inquire about it?"

Zhao Xiwei became dizzy when he heard this series of relatives, glanced at him, lightly dropped the words "no need", turned around and left.

Yang Yi hurriedly followed and walked into the door. While gesturing to the left and right guards to close the door, she said respectfully, "Prince Princess, don't think too much. Since His Royal Highness has sent subordinates to protect you, it means that everything is under His Royal Highness's control. You just have to follow the arrangements."

While talking, the two guards on the left and right had already gathered, standing on both sides of the courtyard door like a rakshasa with cold faces. The usually quiet and peaceful side courtyard was suddenly full of murderous aura, and even the little carp in the pond got into it in fright. Under the lotus leaf.

Holding the sword hilt, Yang Yi paced back and forth in the courtyard, as if she wanted to carry out her duty of "protecting the princess" to the end.

"Okay, let them all retreat." Zhao Xiwei was very upset, and immediately issued an order to evict the guests.

The two guards on the left and right add up to nearly 300 people, so they piled up on the third floor and the third floor outside the gate of the courtyard. She even suspected that this was to imprison her.

Yang Yi also knew that this errand was distasteful, so she bowed her hands immediately, then walked outside the gate of the courtyard, and said: "It's time to be ugly, and the Crown Princess is also tired, everyone, don't stand at the door, retreat outside the wall! "

"Yes."

The courtyard was instantly quiet.

Zhao Xiwei turned around and went back to the bedroom.

The pear blossoms in the courtyard are like snow, the moss in front of the steps is light green, and the palace lanterns under the porch are like gold. The footsteps of spring are coming quietly.

When stepping into the threshold, Jinxiu took advantage of the situation to hold her palm and said softly, "Miss, don't worry, at least at the critical moment, His Royal Highness has not forgotten you."

Zhao Xi looked sideways at her, and said with a slight smile, "Yes, no matter what happens, at least His Highness remembers me."

She was sitting on the soft couch hugged by the quilt, and it was cold in the spring, and after walking around like this outside, her toes were as cold as if they had been stuffed with ice.

The little maid came in with hot water, and Yinbao and Jinxiu helped her burn her feet.

He took off his shoes and socks, rolled up the hem of the skirt, and on his slender and round ankle, the little foot bell inlaid with gold and jade came into view.

Lifting the toes slightly, the bell made a crisp sound.

Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback, and recalled in a trance that time in Chunfang Pavilion, when they lost their temper, and they hadn't seen each other for three days. He played the piano on a tall building, just to make her happy, and specially gave her this little golden bell, saying it was Above is life after life.

But now they have been gone for several days...

The feet were placed in the wooden basin, and the hot water had just covered the insteps. She didn't know whether it was cold or hot, but the soles of the feet suddenly felt itchy, which made her flinch involuntarily.

Although the water temperature was hot, it was not as dry and warm as his palm, everything was just right.

In the dark night, the guards kept patrolling through the courtyard wall.

Zhao Xi was slightly sleepy, and sat cross-legged under the window.

The silver candle was shining brightly, and the light and shadow were bright and clean, making her skin transparent and clear, and the pure white fox fur collar glowed a hazy halo under the lamp.

And her face was drooping, like an epiphyllum blooming under the moonlight, dazzling and tranquil.

Her fingertips held a few strands of gold thread, and she weaved back and forth quickly.

Seeing this, Suyu said: "Princess Concubine, you need to buy a sachet. There are all kinds of flowers ready-made by the needlework bureau. If you don't like it, you can let the slaves do it."

"That can't be done." Zhao Xi smiled and shook his head: "This is for His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't think needlework is new, so I chose gold thread for weaving." He picked up a white jade bead and put it in.

The combination of gold and jade, the sharpness and warmth are perfectly presented, and it is as majestic as a crown.

Suyu praised from the bottom of her heart: "This sachet is really ingenious, His Highness will definitely like it."

While handing over the scissors, Jinxiu exhorted: "It's almost time for Yinzheng, miss, please listen to the servant's persuasion, and go to bed after weaving this thread, okay?"

Yin Bao also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I know that you want to give the gift to His Highness right away, but it is hand-woven with gold thread one by one. You can't rush it no matter how many nights you stay up, and besides, your illness is rooted in it." How can the bones of the body withstand it if it has not yet healed?"

"Okay, okay." Zhao Xiwei finished the last pattern, stretched the gold thread straight with his thumb and index finger, and when he was about to cut it off, he suddenly felt a pain in his fingertips.

"Oops!" He let out a low cry, and when he looked intently, tiny drops of blood had burst out from his fingertips, which were especially dazzling on his fair skin, like red flowers in the snow.

"What's the matter? Did you hurt your hand?" Suyu hurriedly held her finger, wrapped the wound with a handkerchief indiscriminately, and ordered the busy maid——

"Go fetch some hot water!"

"Bring the cotton yarn!"

"There are pain-relieving ointments in the cupboard, and they will be delivered!"

"Yes!"

With a single answer, more than a dozen court ladies filed in, some holding hot water, some cotton towels, some holding ointment, or sitting or kneeling, and the whole room was crowded. people.

Zhao Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just that the gold thread has cut the skin a bit, do you need it?"

"Crown princess, forgive me for speaking bluntly, you have a body as precious as gold and jade. Let alone a broken finger, even if you have lost a strand of hair, a slave should not be negligent!" Suyu's expression tensed, holding Acting like a grand lady in charge, she ordered the maids on the right and left to say, "Splendid embroidery and silver treasure, please stop serving the crown princess, Achun and Adong, take the gold thread away, so as not to hurt the crown princess's hand again!"
