The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 722: It depends on the performance of the princess
Narcissus Temple.

The Zen room where Miaoyu lived was shrouded in fog.

In the bathtub in the center of the Zen room, Miaoyu's white arms were resting on the bathtub, and her snow-white neck and crystal collarbone were faintly visible in the rising mist.

This was her third bath from last night till now. Her already fair skin, after being soaked in hot water for a long time, had a transparent texture.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her right hand unconsciously. Her slender fingers extended along her left arm all the way to the deep part of her collarbone.

Last night, it wasn't so much that she was forced into a situation as it was a choice she made.

On the one hand, she was afraid of the prison described by Princess Beijing, as she was neither an official nor a prisoner.

On the other hand, Miaoyu knew very well that without the protection of Princess Beijing, all kinds of troubles would come one after another.

Even some of the dignitaries in the past might not be able to cope with it.

What's more, the princess and Zhang Yunyi were secretly planning about having a sister or a younger sister.

Since you will be in danger of being cut if you stick your head out, you might as well grit your teeth and cling to the thickest supporter to avoid suffering and a doomed end.

However, she never expected that it could be that thick.

She may not care about the physical injuries. After all, monks cultivate their minds, and the body is nothing but shackles and cages.

Even if there is a thousand-year iron threshold, it will eventually become a steamed bun, and in the end, it's just a handful of yellow earth.

Although these words are somewhat self-deceptive, they are still self-consistent.

However, although she may not care about the physical injuries, she cannot face the strange looks from others.

The day before, she had vowed solemnly that she would not allow Princess Beijing to harbor filth and would use her pure place as a place for physical donation.

The next day, he personally "sat" on the living Buddha in the main hall.

All the sarcasm and ridicule directed at Xing Xiuyan and Princess Beijing turned into loud slaps in her face.

Even the awe-filled and envious looks of people like Lechen in the nunnery made her feel deeply hurt.

In addition, how should he deal with it if Zhang Yunyi gets addicted to it and comes to his house again impatiently like he did yesterday?

Each and every one of these were issues she couldn't avoid.

In the past, whenever she encountered a problem that she couldn't untie, she would recite scriptures over and over again to calm her emotions.

Last night, after taking her first bath, she indeed thought and acted in the same way.

She no longer dared to look directly into the hall.

But when she returned to the Zen room... and picked up the wooden fish, an inappropriate picture involuntarily emerged in her mind.

Especially, at the moment when the penis rose up, she was frightened and couldn't bear to look at it.

She was so frightened that she hurriedly took a bath again.

I tossed and turned until the sky turned pale, and then I fell into a drowsy sleep.

When she woke up at noon, she didn't dare go to the main hall, nor did she have the heart to recite the scriptures. She could only comfort herself by taking a bath and washing her body again.

At the same time, she was also thinking about what attitude she should adopt when Zhang Yunyi arrived in the evening.

Last night, Zhang Yunyi’s desperate look, as if he wanted to follow me into the house, was still vivid in my mind.

Miaoyu never doubted whether he would come again.

There are limited buildings in Narcissus Temple, and even fewer idle ones. The side courtyard and the original residence have already been polluted by Princess Beijing.

There are only a few meditation rooms left. It is impossible for Zhang Yunyi to change his residence every time he comes, right?

After much thought, I finally decided to choose the lesser of two evils.

The great hall always reminded her of the tragic scene of people losing their armor and crying for mercy.

The side courtyard and the original residence were desecrated by Princess Beijing, which she could never accept.

This Zen room is the last quiet place she has left for herself, and she cannot give it up.

On the contrary, since the main hall had been desecrated and it was left by himself, it was barely acceptable.

However, although she had made every possible effort, she never expected that when the time came, Zhang Yunyi would just give up.

……

Let’s talk about Zhang Yun逸 later.

With the cooperation of Lady Jia, he no longer had to worry about the wind and Mrs. Wang's outings.

So he simply took Jia Baoyu, who kept begging, and rushed to the Jinyiwei prison to visit Prince Beijing.

Naturally, Zhang Yun逸 was too lazy to listen to the sweet talk between the two rabbit brothers. He just sent Jia Baoyu to the Jinyiwei and went to the palace to report the progress of the matter and the agreement between him and Prince Beijing.

The emperor did not delay and declared that as long as Princess Beijing moved into the Jade Emperor Temple.

As for Prince Beijing, he even planned to pardon him during the morning court tomorrow.

After all, at this time, people were in a panic, and it was necessary to release Prince Beijing to appease them. Afterwards, the monarch and his minister had another conversation about the reform of the three judicial departments.

The emperor was obviously unwilling to accept this and could not help but complain that Zhou Xianzu was talking too much and ruining his plans.

From the words, Zhang Yun逸 more or less heard the sign that Zhou Xianzu was going to be left idle.

In addition, there is the issue of the military power of the nobles.

This time, the emperor was very upset that he failed to achieve his goal in one battle and weaken the military power of the nobles in one fell swoop.

Zhang Yun逸 took the opportunity to suggest expanding the navy to check and balance the nobles.

However, although this idea was good, the emperor was worried that the expanded navy would be taken away by the nobles, so he was still somewhat hesitant.

At this time, Zhang Yun逸 was no longer threatened by Prince Ning. He was afraid that if he said too much, he would make more mistakes and expose his intentions, so he stopped at the right time and ultimately did not achieve any further results.

When we left the palace, it was almost dusk.

Zhang Yunyi glanced towards the southwest, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up on leaving the city and headed straight for Prince Beijing's Palace.

It's not that he had to favor one over the other. He ignored Miaoyu, who had just become a married woman, and was determined to go to Princess Beijing to enjoy himself.

However, with his current status, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can have whatever he wants of all the beauties in the world.

If Miaoyu was a gentle person, he wouldn't mind caring for her.

But she was aloof and arrogant, and even after her disguise was removed, she still acted pretentiously. Zhang Yunyi also had a preconceived mindset, so he was too lazy to give up the knowledgeable and interesting Princess Beijing and try to please Miaoyu.

What's more, Princess Beijing has the added bonus of Madam Niu, so the already tilted balance naturally tilts more firmly towards Princess Beijing.

In addition, the emperor will pardon Shui Rong at the morning court tomorrow. Although Shui Rong is at home, it still feels different.

But in order to rescue her sister as soon as possible, Princess Beijing was obviously unwilling to delay.

If I don't take advantage of this moment to gain entry into Prince Beijing's mansion, there may not be another suitable opportunity in the future.

The servants of the palace are still under the supervision of the imperial guards.

Zhang Yunyi came to the princess's boudoir as if he were in an empty place.

"How about it?"

As soon as they met, Princess Beijing came forward and asked impatiently.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Zhang Yunyi clapped his hands and opened his arms.

Princess Beijing was pleasantly surprised and threw herself into Zhang Yunyi's arms without hesitation. Her slender jade fingers immediately touched the jade belt around Zhang Yunyi's waist and she said in a soft voice, "My Lord, you have worked hard. Let Yuhuan help you relax and unwind!"

As she spoke, she held the jade belt on her python robe and slowly squatted down. When she was squatting in front of Zhang Yunyi, she looked up and said, "I wonder when my sister will be able to come out? Yuhuan can also serve the Duke together with my sister..."

Zhang Yunyi held Princess Beijing's hair and said slowly, "Although the emperor has agreed to give your sister to me as a slave, I think you two sisters have a deep affection for each other, and it will be convenient to take care of each other after living together."

"Really?" Princess Beijing couldn't help but feel happy, but then she deliberately put on a conflicted look, "This won't cause trouble for the Duke, right?"

"If your sister comes to the palace, I will naturally be unable to explain to the emperor. However, if the princess goes to my place, not only will there be no trouble, but I can also leave your sister to you to take care of. What do you think?"

"As long as the Duke keeps his word, Yuhuan will be willing to accept the position even if it means having no name or status."

At this point, Princess Beijing hesitated and said, "But, the seal inspection department..."

Princess Beijing obviously misunderstood Zhang Yunyi's intention and thought that he wanted to marry her.

Although Zhang Yun逸 also had this intention, this obviously did not meet the emperor's expectations.

He could only pretend to be polite and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I've already reached an agreement with Shui Rong. I helped him get rid of the crime this time, and he will return the favor. He will let you live there directly, under the pretext of going to the Rongguo Mansion's ancestral temple to chant sutras and pray for the Duke of this country."

"Then sister..."

"As long as you move in, your sister will naturally join you soon!"

"Then...what are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Beijing immediately tried to get up, but Zhang Yunyi held her down tightly, unable to move.

"I have already cut the Gordian knot and arranged everything properly. Princess, do you still have to argue with me, one night later, one night earlier?"

At this point, Zhang Yunyi paused and said with a smile: "Although the queen is very much in my heart, the identity of the princess will be missing if she leaves the palace. It is better to make up for this deficiency for the prince first."

Princess Beijing knew she had no right to object, but she took the opportunity to bargain, saying, "Sister has escaped death, please have mercy on her, Duke, and don't scare her. Let Yuhuan comfort her first, and then proceed step by step."

Zhang Yunyi said noncommittally: "It depends on the princess's performance!"

Come again?

Princess Beijing secretly complained in her heart, but expressed it without hesitation.
