Chapter 14

Ye Xin lowered her eyes, gently rubbed the rim of the cup with her slender fingers, and asked casually, "Biyuan, have you done what I told you?"

Bi Yuan nodded, and replied: "The letter has been delivered, and according to Miss's instructions, a few drops of water were also dropped on the letter paper."

Ye Xin nodded, indicating that she understood.Picking up the teacup, he took another sip.Although it is summer, it is a bit cold to plunge into the lake.

Biyuan looked at Ye Xin, and asked with some doubts: "Since the lady is just acting, why did you really invest in it? Even in summer, the water is cold. And why didn't the lady tell the madam? The madam cried for a long time just now. After a while, you must be arguing with the master because of the young lady!"

"When acting, you always have to be comprehensive and just like the real thing." Ye Xin replied lightly, putting down the teacup in her hand.

"Tomorrow the news will spread like wildfire." After Ye Xin finished speaking, she got under the blanket.

The next day, it was exactly as Ye Xin expected.All the teahouses in the market are talking about His Majesty bestowing marriage to Li Wang, and Li Wang's marriage partner threw himself into the lake that day.

Some people said that Ye Xin had a lover, but Emperor Mingzong betrothed her to someone else, Ye Xin naturally refused, so she died to show her ambition.Ye Xin is a loyal woman!

Some people also said that Ye Xin was a truly noble beauty who disdained royal power and wealth.

Some people even said that King Li is running out of time.Emperor Mingzong bestowed a marriage to Li Wang, which was to harm Ye Xin.It must be because Emperor Mingzong fell in love with Ye Xin, but Ye Xin refused, so he pointed Ye Xin to King Li, it was revenge.
In short, there are different opinions, and it is very lively.

When Emperor Mingzong heard these rumors from the secret guard, he was so angry that he smashed the paperweight to pieces.Emperor Mingzong reigned for 19 years, diligently governed and loved the people, and made no mistakes in political affairs.What he cares about most is what the world thinks of him, and he doesn't even think about giving him a marriage, the people will arrange him like this.

No matter which version it is, Ye Xin is a pitiful, weak person who is cornered.And Emperor Mingzong is the faint king who persecuted Ye Xin!
Emperor Mingzong was so angry that he almost fainted.He has done so much for the Ming Dynasty, and he has earned the reputation of a faint king.

Emperor Mingzong's eyes were cold, and he thought that Ye Yuanan was not a sincere courtier.If he really had no second thoughts, even if Ye Xin really threw himself into the lake, Ye Yuan'an should have blocked the news and reported it to him quietly.Instead of letting the servants spread the news, resulting in the current situation.

Emperor Mingzong felt his head hurt a little, frowned slightly, and thought over and over how to calm down these rumors.But before Emperor Mingzong came up with a countermeasure, Eunuch Li came to report.

"Your Majesty, the imperial guards you sent to the East Palace received news that the crown prince is kneeling in the garden, refusing to get up. I want to ask His Majesty to take back the marriage proposal."

Emperor Mingzong's head hurt even more, and he said angrily, "If he likes to kneel, he can kneel, no one is allowed to control him!"

Liwangfu East Garden

Su Xiaoxiao, who was in the Li Palace, seemed to be isolated from the world.She didn't know anything about the outside news.At this time, she was accompanying Jun Ruoli in the Huxin Pavilion to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the scenery. She was very happy.

The two were thinking about each other, looking at the scenery silently.Suddenly heard a man's shout, they all turned their heads to look.

I saw a man in a blue shirt hurrying forward while shouting: "Where is your lord? Where are your lords? Jun Ruoli! My son is here!"

Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and couldn't help wondering who this person was?He dared to yell in the palace, and even called Jun Ruoli by his first name.

The person who came was none other than Gu Nianqing.The maids didn't dare to stop him, and they didn't dare let him shout.And Gu Nianqing also asked where Jun Ruoli was, but she didn't listen to the servant girl and continued to shout.The scene looked a little chaotic.

Suddenly, Gu Nianqing saw Jun Ruoli in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and quickly walked towards Jun Ruoli and the others.

When Gu Nianqing walked to the Huxin Pavilion, she joked, "You are so leisurely!"

Jun Ruoli looked at nothing, and said, "I don't have to go to court, and I don't go out, so I'm naturally leisurely."

After hearing Jun Ruoli's words, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Nianqing in surprise.Jun Ruoli called himself me to him, which shows that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

"Okay!" Gu Nianqing said, "Don't pretend, I don't believe you don't know what's going on outside!"

After Gu Nianqing finished speaking, she saw Su Xiaoxiao.Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was dressed as a maid, her thick and long hair covered most of her face.Then he stepped in front of Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "Are you the little maid he has just hired?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect Jun Ruoli to mention herself to the person in front of her, so she was a little lost for a moment.But after a while, he came to his senses, saluted Gu Nianqing, and replied: "This servant has seen the young master, and this servant is the prince's personal maid, so she was transferred to Dongyuan not long ago."

Gu Nianqing walked around Su Xiaoxiao a few times, looking left and right, up and down.Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was numb all over, Gu Nianqing said thoughtfully: "I don't see anything interesting, call him"

Before Gu Nianqing finished speaking, Jun Ruoli interrupted: "Okay, let's go in and talk."

The three of Jun Ruoli went to the study.As soon as the door was opened, Gu Nianqing saw the wilting willow branches on the table.He walked over quickly, pointed to the willow branch and asked, "Did you steal the clean bottle and willow branch of Master Guanyin?"

Su Xiaoxiao was extremely embarrassed when she heard this, but Jun Ruoli laughed outright.

After Su Xiaoxiao supported Jun Ruoli to sit down, she hurriedly hid in a corner and stood still, for fear that others would find her in a mess.

Jun Ruoli glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, then turned to ask Gu Nianqing. "Why did you come here today?"

"Why else? Of course it's for your marriage!" After speaking, Gu Nianqing sat down unceremoniously. "Your Majesty issued a decree to grant you a marriage yesterday. In the evening, your unmarried bride threw herself into the lake!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help pricking up her ears.Throwing himself into a lake?This is too explosive.

But Jun Ruoli didn't change at all, she just gave a faint oh.Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but secretly scolded Jun Ruoli for being cold-blooded, she threw herself into the lake because of you, so just say it?

Gu Nianqing said to herself: "The man was rescued! But I heard that he is still unconscious. The rumors outside are terrible!"

Jun Ruoli hooked the corners of her lips and asked, "How ugly? Could it be that I can't beat my wife?"

"That's not true!" Gu Nianqing said seriously, "The rumors are all about His Majesty."

After that, Gu Nianqing told Jun Ruoli all the rumors outside.

After listening, Jun Ruoli's expression became serious, and she told Su Xiaoxiao, "Go ask Steward Zhu to prepare the car! This king is going to enter the palace!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to be negligent, so she hurriedly asked Butler Zhu to prepare the car.

After Su Xiaoxiao left, there was no trace of serious worry on Jun Ruoli's face.Gu Nianqing stood up, dusted off her clothes, and said, "After watching the excitement, I will leave first!"

"Thank you!" Jun Ruoli said.

Gu Nianqing heard the words, without looking back, she went straight out and left Prince Li's mansion.

After the carriage was ready, Su Xiaoxiao helped Jun Ruoli into the carriage.Just about to retreat, Jun Ruoli ordered: "Come up!"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and didn't move.

Jun Ruoli repeated: "Come up! Follow me into the palace."

Su Xiaoxiao confirmed that she heard correctly, and climbed into the carriage with hands and feet.

The carriage was not comfortable, Su Xiaoxiao not only had to endure the bumps of the carriage, but also curled up in a corner, not daring to relax.She didn't know why Jun Ruoli brought her into the palace, and she was very disturbed.

Because the palace is not allowed to ride a carriage or ride a horse.At the gate of the palace, Jun Ruoli got off the carriage supported by Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the long road ahead, she thought she knew why Jun Ruoli wanted to take her with her!Jun Ruoli needs her crutch...

Leaning on Su Xiaoxiao, Jun Ruoli walked to the Hall of Qinzheng with difficulty under the leadership of the eunuch.

When Emperor Mingzong saw Jun Ruoli coming, he hurriedly asked, "Why is King Li here?" He then asked Eunuch Li to move a chair for Jun Ruoli.

After helping Jun Ruoli to sit down, Su Xiaoxiao stood behind Jun Ruoli, lowered her head, and tried her best to reduce her sense of existence.

Jun Ruoli blushed slightly, and coughed a few times, as if she left too hastily just now.He clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to take back your order! I will not marry Miss Ye."

Emperor Mingzong's expression changed, and his tone was slightly cold. "King Li, my imperial decree has been issued and announced to the world. How can it be said that it will be taken back?"

Jun Ruoli stood up holding on to the armrest, lifted her hem, and knelt on the ground.Seeing Jun Ruoli knelt down, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly knelt down too, buried her head in her arms, and fell on the ground.

With a look of guilt on Jun Ruoli's face, she slowly said: "I have been weak since I was a child, and thanks to your majesty's concern, I can survive until now. Your majesty's kindness is hard to repay in this life, and I have decided to serve your majesty in the next life. Repay the kindness of this life. Now, the minister is dying, and time is running out. I can't bear your Majesty to hurt your spirits because of my minister! If your majesty is criticized because of my minister, I will feel guilty and restless under the nine springs."

When Emperor Mingzong heard the words, his complexion softened a little, and his voice was no longer cold. "Get up!"

"Your Majesty, please agree to my request and take it back!" Jun Ruoli insisted, "If your Majesty refuses, I dare not stand up. If I want your Majesty to be stigmatized, I would rather kneel and die in the Qinzheng Hall now than So as not to drag His Majesty before death!"

Emperor Mingzong said angrily: "What foolish words are you talking about? Who wants you to kneel and die in the palace? I just gave you a marriage to keep you alive! Hurry up and get me up!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up to help Jun Ruoli, and Eunuch Li also came to help, and then helped Jun Ruoli onto the chair.

Jun Ruoli tossed a lot, and there was no color on her face.Emperor Mingzong sighed, and said: "This Ye Xin is a noble girl picked out by the Qin Tianjian. She has a very good fate. If I marry you, it must be a good marriage... But you want me to take back my life! Yours I don't think about marriage for you, don't make decisions for you, how can I be worthy of the passing King Cheng?"

Jun Ruoli lowered her eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty worries a lot about my ministers, and I feel deeply. Your Majesty is a wise monarch who works diligently and loves the people. I cannot bear the loss of your majesty's reputation. Your Majesty can call Qin Tianjian Zhao Jianzheng to come here." , to change to another candidate for the marriage. I'm afraid I don't have such a fate with Miss Ye's family."
