Marry Donggong

Chapter 4 Prince Xiao Jing
……

The next morning.

The spring rain that had been falling continuously for more than half a month in Chang'an City finally stopped, and a ray of morning light jumped from the flower window into Xixi Garden.

Shen Yi sat in front of the desk, playing chess by himself.

The black ones are coming fiercely and are surrounded one after another. The white ones are forced to a dead end, which is really dangerous.

Between you and me, the chess game has changed. White broke out of the encirclement, switched from defense to attack, and defeated Black.

Huazhi carefully observed Shen Yi's expression from the side, but hesitated to speak.

Shen Yi's eyes flashed. She looked at Huazhi and asked, "Huazhi, do you have something to say?"

Huazhi hesitated and said: "I am worried that the young lady will be sad for the prince of Chu..."

Yesterday, the young lady ordered her to send people to spread the news in Chang'an City that the Prince of Chu had broken off their engagement for Miss Cui. The noble family members were scolding them for having an affair without a matchmaker and being shameless.

Some people actually ridiculed the young lady for her high temper, leaving no escape route for herself.Everyone in Chang'an City knows that the young lady has a deep love for the Prince of Chu. When the moment passes, the young lady will regret it beyond measure and feel dejected.

What's more, they mocked the young lady as an abandoned woman whose engagement was broken off.

She knew that the young lady's temperament would definitely not make her reconcile with the Prince of Chu, but she felt sorry for the young lady and secretly felt sad for her.

The melting spring light fell on Shen Yi's cheeks, and she smiled at the corner of her lips: "From now on, I have no intention of loving the good night, and let him go down to the west tower under the bright moon."

"Huazhi, he is no longer worthy of my sadness for him."

Huazhi looked at the calm and free smile on Shen Yi's face and was stunned for a moment.

She finally let go of her hanging heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "What the young lady said is absolutely true, but I am just confused."

Outside the door, a servant's announcement came: "Miss, the Queen Mother has sent Aunt Song to invite you into the palace."

Shen Yi put down the chess piece and said, "No need."

Hua Zhi's brows were filled with joy and she couldn't help but said happily: "Miss, I will change your clothes for you right now."

The Queen Mother is supporting the young lady. The Prince of Chu insults the young lady like this, so he should be beaten hard.

There are also people in Chang'an City who are secretly gossiping about the young lady. They should also consider whether they can withstand the anger of the Queen Mother and the Shen Hou Mansion.

……

The palace walls are majestic and solemn, and the black dragons on the eaves look like soaring clouds and riding the mist, giving them a majestic look.

Shen Yi's slender waist was as slim as a new willow tree in March, and she walked towards Cining Palace under the leadership of the palace servants.

She stared at the vast imperial city.

In her previous life, she was imprisoned in the secluded room of the Prince of Chu's palace for three years. She read carefully the privately hidden meticulous history books, watched the aristocratic families unite to subvert the imperial power, and read about the royal family's fratricide and self-destruction.

In this life, the strategies and decisions that history books taught her should be put to use.

Suddenly, a mocking voice came: "Miss Shen."

Shen Yi looked at him coldly.

Xiao Mingyuan, the youngest daughter of Concubine Cui, seemed to be smiling but not smiling, approaching from a dozen steps away.

To the side, a woman with bright eyebrows walked up to Xiao Mingyuan. Her crimson pleated skirt bloomed beautifully in the breeze, which was very moving.

It was Cui Huajin, the Miss Cui Mansion whom Xiao Lin was obsessed with and would not marry except Qing.

Cui Huajin looked at Shen Yi, with a faint pity in his eyes, but also a hint of provocation.

Even if Shen Yi came from a famous family, she just sighed, "The prince of Chu and Miss Shen are getting married soon. It's a pity that there will be very few opportunities for you and me to have a drink and talk happily in the future." Yi breaks off the engagement.

During her ten years of exile, she had suffered too much and knew the laws of the jungle in order to survive. She had also seen too many men of all kinds, and she had her own way of winning over a man's heart.He was used to seeing the fragile ladies in Chang'an City who were as dull and rigid as wood. She could hold him in the palm of her hand just by making a few wanton gestures and talking loudly to him.

Defeating Shen Yi is too easy and not challenging at all.But it is extremely interesting to see the so-called talented woman who has topped the city of Chang'an lose her manners and fall into the quagmire for a man who does not love her.

Shen Yi met Cui Huajin's teasing and contemptuous eyes, and his eyes were like a cold spring that bottomed out, as if all the unbearable and despicable thoughts were reflected clearly.

But she said it to Xiao Mingyuan: "Princess Yongning."

Seeing Shen Yi's calm posture, Cui Huajin raised his seductive eyes lightly.

Her tone of voice was filled with charming charm: "Is Miss Shen okay?"

Xiao Mingyuan usually couldn't bear to see Shen Yi relying on the power of the imperial grandmother and the Shen Hou Mansion to act pretentiously.She was obviously the most beloved princess of her father, the emperor, and his mother, so why could Shen Yi get past her?

She covered her lips to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, pretending to be regretful and said: "How can Miss Shen be fine? I heard that Prince Chu went to Shenhou's Mansion in the rain yesterday to break off the engagement with Miss Shen. He did so without hesitation and made Miss Shen completely embarrassed. Lose face."

"This is so pitiful. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that Miss Shen has a deep affection for the Prince of Chu. In the past, she even risked her life for him. Now she must be heartbroken. But..."

Xiao Mingyuan changed the subject and advised earnestly: "Miss Shen should also reflect on herself. There are many childhood sweethearts in Chang'an City who have made plans to get married since childhood. Why did the Prince of Chu reject your marriage? You have so much talent. If you can't keep your fiancé's heart, you will make people laugh."

Cui Huajin's charming eyes were tainted with a hint of smile, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then sighed: "Although I share the same aspirations with the Prince of Chu and are close friends, I have always abided by the love and etiquette."

"I never expected that the Prince of Chu would have such thoughts about me. I am also responsible for his breaking off the engagement. Miss Shen, please rest assured that I will persuade the Prince of Chu not to do stupid things for me. I will let you down." You." Qing Zhi, the maid of Cining Palace, turned pale. Princess Yongning sang with Miss Cui, mocking Miss Cousin openly and secretly.

I just hate that she is humble and can't stand up for Miss Cousin. If Nanny Song hadn't suddenly felt unwell, she wouldn't have sent her useless person to Shen Hou Mansion to welcome Miss Biao.

Shen Yi's jade face remained calm as she asked, "But is it over?"

Cui Huajin and Xiao Mingyuan were both stunned, and they were not expecting Shen Yi's reaction.

Shen Yi's voice was as calm as water: "I don't need to worry about Princess Yongning. I just feel happy. The prince of Chu has changed his mind and betrayed the engagement. He is not a good match. It is best to break up the relationship. Why do you need to reflect on yourself? Let alone the sadness. ."

She turned her eyes to Cui Huajin: "It is true that she is inseparable from Miss Cui. Looking at the whole city of Chang'an, only Miss Cui will become a close friend with a husband who is engaged. It seems true, Miss Cui has been separated from the Cui Mansion since she was a child, and she has no etiquette. Restraint has always been treating rules as trivial."

In her previous life, she didn't care about Cui Huajin, and felt that it was all Xiao Linshe's fault.However, Cui Huajin has never been an innocent master.

Now, how can he completely separate himself from Xiao Linshe?

Xiao Mingyuan was shocked and angry. Did Shen Yi know what a big joke he was talking about?No one knew that Shen Yi fell in love with Xiao Linshe miserably and was still deceiving herself.

He actually dared to laugh at Jin Niang, who had not been educated in the Cui family since she was a child and had no sense of etiquette, justice and shame.Obviously this was a pain that Jinniang didn't want to look back on. They felt sorry for Jinniang and would never mention it in front of Jinniang.

How dare Shen Yi rub salt into Jin Niang's wounds?

Xiao Mingyuan's eyes were filled with anger: "Shen Yi, you!"

Cui Huajin tugged on Xiao Mingyuan's sleeve, and she looked at Shen Yi, who was still calm and self-possessed. It was very different from the way she imagined that she would be jealous and unwilling to give up.

Did Shen Yi really let go of Xiao Linshe so easily?

She looked at Shen Yi with pity: "Miss Shen's engagement was suddenly broken off. It's natural for her to have resentment towards me. I sympathize with Miss Shen very much. I really don't know how to calm you down. How about I kneel to you for two hours?" "

Shen Yi suddenly smiled, like the snow melting in spring, tinged with the charm and charm.

Her tone was slow: "Since Miss Cui has asked to kneel down, then Miss Cui will kneel down."

This movement attracted frequent glances from the palace maids and eunuchs.

Miss Shen was dressed in a pure Yunyan fine brocade dress, with a touch of powder and pink, giving her a natural look, and a calm and unhurried temperament. Miss Cui, who used to be particularly enchanting and charming in the palace, has actually fallen behind.

They were slaves and maids, so they thought it was a big deal to have their engagement broken off. It was a pity that a noble lady like Miss Shen, who was so talented and talented, was covered with a layer of dust, her glory faded, and she disappeared.

Looking at it now, it's not necessarily the case.

Cui Huajin was almost blinded by Shen Yi's smile.

This was completely out of her control.Shen Yi agreeing to break off the engagement is one, and asking her to kneel down is the other.

It's strange that Shen Yi is so elegant and jade-like.

Xiao Mingyuan couldn't bear it any longer and scolded Shen Yi: "Shen Yi, you are simply bullying me! Jin Niang made it clear that the Crown Prince of Chu's preference for her is all his wishful thinking, no more so than Jin Niang's."

"The Prince of Chu doesn't like you because you stick to the rules and are as boring as wood. You can't blame others."

"Jin Niang is kind-hearted and wants to persuade you and the Prince of Chu to get married again. But you are so cruel and ignorant!"

Shen Yi is funny.

It's really ironic.Xiao Linshe took great pains to break off the engagement with Cui Huajin, but in exchange he said it was just his wishful thinking.

Too.Cui Huajin did not marry him in his previous life and became the concubine of his cousin the fourth prince.

She was about to speak.

From behind, a cold and piercing voice came, making people shudder: "Come here, take Cui's daughter to the palace road and kneel down. Two hours, not a moment less."

"If she dares to disobey Gu's orders, she will be killed without mercy."

Shen Yi suddenly looked back.

The man is tall and tall, with high eyebrows and a straight nose. His black clothes and sleeves are flowing in the painting.

His red phoenix eyes were long and narrow, his skin had a cold texture like heng jade, but the tip of his lips was stained with a faint pink color.

Like the jade mountain rising up, the light shines on people.

Everyone was astonished to see that the handsome and graceful husband was none other than the Crown Prince.

When the queen died of illness, the prince was only six years old. The queen mother took him to Cining Palace for upbringing.

Although the prince inherited the nurturing grace of the queen mother, he has always been helpless, lonely and arrogant. It has never been said that he and Miss Shen have a deep relationship.

Why did you suddenly stand up for Miss Shen?
Xiao Jing saw Shen Yi looking at her, her red phoenix eyes were obscure and filled with deep shadows.

Soon, he turned his face coldly to the side of his handsome and beautiful face, not making eye contact with her.

Shen Yi was slightly startled, it was Ah Jing.
