Chapter 52 Where is the majesty of the spoiled princess?
The carriage was filled with fragrant incense, which made the carriage as warm as spring.
Jiang Yueying sat in the car, leaning on the armrest, her delicate eyes slightly drooped, drowsy.
Ever since leaving the territory of Jiang State, she felt relaxed all over, like a young butterfly emerging from its cocoon, finally flying out of the dark confinement. The nightmares she had endured for years were completely wiped out with the sound of rolling wheels.
As she thought about it, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
Xie Yuting suddenly came over and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at? Are you thinking about me?"
Jiang Yueying rolled her eyes at him and said, "I was laughing openly, how can I say I was laughing secretly?"
"Besides, you're so hot..." Jiang Yueying stretched out her arms, "You're squeezing me so hard."
It's not that she really dislikes him, but every time Xie Yuting gets too close, her heartbeat will speed up and her breathing will become a little disordered. If he rubs her with his hands and feet, she will feel as hot as red-hot charcoal.
As soon as he heard that it was hot, Xie Yuting immediately became excited and pushed against her, laughing while teasing her, and was even more coquettish than Qiqi.
Oh, it never ends...
If she had not seen Xie Yuting's decisive killing style, she would have suspected that he was a real fool.
The two were in the carriage and had nowhere to hide. Jiang Yueying was forced back to the corner. The tall man blocked her way and cast a shadow over her head. She tilted her head slightly and could see the other man's Adam's apple rolling slightly.
She felt her cheeks getting hot, but she had nowhere to retreat, so she had to turn defense into offense and fight back fiercely.
She raised her hand and attacked his chest fiercely, intending to hit him with a palm, but he was agile and dodged slightly to the side. The girl's palm missed and she managed to tear open his collar!
With a loud noise, most of the royal blue outer robe and snow-white inner garment were torn apart, revealing the delicate collarbone that undulated like a spring mountain. Further down, the skin was firm and slightly bulging, rising and falling with her breathing, making people blush and their hearts beat fast.
Jiang Yueying was stunned, staring at the slightly open collar of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's clothes, almost motionless.
Xie Yuting, who was attacked, was neither hurried nor slow. He slowly raised his slender hands, and gently hooked up his clothes with his jade-white fingertips. He pretended to gather his clothes together, leaving his clothes half-covered and half-exposed, which was particularly tempting.
His peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, shimmering with brilliance: "The little princess is so impatient."
This tone and intonation made Jiang Yueying look like a lecher.
After she realized what was happening, she quickly looked away, speaking incoherently: "You, you, you, I, I'm not, that... who told you to come closer... Don't put the blame on others!"
Xie Yuting laughed so happily that Jiang Yueying didn't dare to look up, and her ears turned red as if bleeding.
"We'll have to be honest with each other sooner or later, so why be ashamed now?"
"Shut up..."
Jiang Yueying stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.
Xie Yuting was very obedient and really shut up. He lowered his head and accurately blocked Jiang Yueying's mouth, deliberately teasing her trembling tongue and chasing it.
“Hmm…”
Jiang Yueying opened her eyes wide in disbelief, feeling the wet warmth raging in her mouth, but she was powerless and could only make vague nasal sounds and whimpers.
The kiss was very deep, long and prolonged. The root of her tongue was numb, her waist was mostly weak, and she had no strength in her body. She could only lean crookedly on Xie Yuting's chest. Her hands, which had nowhere to go, were caught by the man and covered on her chest.
She felt numb and tingling for a moment, and became dazed and stiff.
The collar of his clothes was not closed, so Jiang Yueying's palm felt a warm and firm muscle with undulating ravines. It was obvious that the naked person was a shameless prince, but it was she who was embarrassed and blushed all over.
He wanted to pull his hand back, but she had been kissed so soft that she was completely unable to resist.
The kiss continued, but the fierce attack gradually slowed down and became lingering and intoxicating. Jiang Yueying's eyelashes slowly became moist, and the crystal clear tears stained her eyelashes, making her look smart and fragile.
Xie Yuting reached out and pinched her soft waist. Jiang Yueying completely surrendered, closed her eyes, shook her shoulders slightly, and indulged in his endless kisses.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage bumped a little. Xie Yuting had had enough of the kiss, so he slowly pecked her lips a few times and loosened the shackles.
"You bastard..." Jiang Yueying, who was finally able to speak, sounded pitiful.
Her cheeks were covered with beautiful peach blossoms, her watery eyes contained clear tears like moonlight, her lips were as red and swollen as cherries, and there were faint bite marks at the corners of her lips.
The little bird that was badly bullied.
Xie Yuting smiled frivolously: "I heard that the princess was always arrogant and frivolous in Jiang Kingdom, but why is she so spoiled in my arms?"
"A kiss brings tears to her eyes, a pinch on the waist brings tears to her eyes. Where is the dignity of a princess?"
Bullshit prestige, she had no prestige at all, but Jiang Yueying couldn't say that.
"Do you... want to get beaten?" Jiang Yueying bluffed.
"I couldn't ask for more."
Shameless! Jiang Yueying was furious and punched him weakly on the chest, but Xie Yuting only teased him more unscrupulously.
Finally, she had no choice but to roll onto the soft couch beside her, covering her face and ignoring everyone. Only her red ears were exposed, which were so bright that they were dazzling.
Xie Yuting poked the back of her head.
Not moving at all.
He burst out laughing. How come even the back of the head is so round and cute?
He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Am I not right? You are becoming more and more adorable now. Why is that?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yueying couldn't help feeling guilty. It's impossible for a person to pretend perfectly all the time, not to mention that when being suffocated by a kiss, she couldn't control her tears at all... Humph, this can't be blamed on her.
Xie Yuting kept asking her, and Jiang Yueying finally managed to hold back a sentence: "It's your illusion."
"Really?" His tone suddenly became serious. "You really don't have anything to tell me?"
"No." Jiang Yueying was afraid of being discovered, so she pulled the blanket on the couch over her head.
Little quail, Xie Yuting shook his head.
It was getting dark and the carriage, tired from the long journey, stopped at the door of the post station before sunset.
The girl lying on the couch pretending to be asleep was breathing evenly, as if she had really fallen asleep.
"Aying?" He said softly.
Jiang Yueying did not respond.
Xie Yuting bent down, gently carried her down from the carriage, and walked towards the post station.
The accompanying Liang officials were stunned and rubbed their eyes hard, unable to believe what they saw.
The Crown Prince, who had always been naughty, actually showed a look of tenderness and affection when facing the Crown Princess. He was very careful not to wake her up, so he carried her out of the car with his own hands.
The domineering and rude Crown Princess was now lying quietly in Xie Yuting's arms, peaceful and calm, like a bird with its wings folded, revealing a sense of tranquility for no reason.
They looked as if they had seen a ghost, but Xie Yuting just walked past them without looking at them, his clothes fluttering in the breeze.
Some officials have always been stubborn and believed that the prince's courtesy towards the princess was just a show for Emperor Jiang and that he was not really in love with her.
Now it seems that they were the ones who were totally wrong, right?
Some officials couldn't contain their excitement and murmured, "These two really can get along! Two unruly people getting along, and yet they're getting along. Isn't that outrageous?"
"What does it have to do with us? Even if they have a deep relationship, it won't be long before they have to live together in disgrace... Then, tsk tsk."
"Of course not. Without the fine clothes and delicious food, how could these two people who are used to a life of luxury bear it? I'm afraid they would fight every few days to vent their anger."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not necessarily be deposed..." said Xi Ni, a minor official of the seventh rank, the Censor.
Others laughed at him for not understanding the situation in the court. They actually thought that an unpopular playboy could sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince. It was such a fantasy. He must be a fool.
The officials sneered a few times, laughed and isolated him and left.
Xi Ni pursed her lips, lowered her head and followed him into the door.
In a blink of an eye, night falls.
In the side room, the sleeping girl was lying in the quilt.
Moonlight poured into the room, and a bright beam of light hit the man's handsome face.
Xie Yuting sat in front of the window, looking at the starry sky and letting his mind go blank.
A few wisps of clear wind leaked in through the window lattice, blowing the man's jet-black hair.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the window and his brows jumped.
He took the expedited letter from Yu Lang, unfolded it, and just as he could see the contents in the moonlight, the moon in the sky fell and a dark haze enveloped him.
The night was silent. Jiang Yueying, who had been sleeping soundly, felt depressed. She turned over several times on the couch and almost rolled off. She woke up from her sleep with a cold sweat.
I touched the side and it was icy cold.
No one slept.
Where is Xie Yuting?
Her memory stayed on the carriage. When she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar bed curtains. If she guessed correctly, this should be an inn.
It's easy to guess who brought her back.
But Xie Yuting wasn't there. Isn't this guy the clingy type? Why wasn't he sleeping in the middle of the night? Where had he gone...
My heartstrings are inexplicably tense.
Jiang Yueying frowned, put on her clothes, lifted the light-blocking bed curtain, looked up, and saw a lonely silhouette sitting alone by the window.
Looking closely, half of Xie Yuting's face was hidden in the night, and only the tall and thin candlestick on the right side emitted a faint candlelight, reflecting the flickering outline.
From the blurry silhouette, she could see his heartache.
I've known Xie Yuting for so long, but this is the first time I've seen him look so sad.
Jiang Yueying stood up involuntarily, walked into the candlelight in her slippers, patted his shoulder lightly, and said in a voice hoarse from just waking up: "Who made you unhappy?"
Xie Yuting slowly raised his head, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were extremely dim at this moment, as if they had turned into a dark forest.
Jiang Yueying's heart tightened and she seemed a little at a loss.
"What happened..."
Xie Yuting stretched out his arms and embraced her in his arms, holding her tightly. The sound was still and everything was silent. Jiang Yueying did not urge him, but just let him hold her obediently, and raised his hand to straighten the other's hair that was messed up by the wind.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yuting said in a very low and light voice: "I promised to take you to Liuzhou to meet my tutor, but I'm afraid I have to break my promise. Tutor..."
Jiang Yueying paused and finally understood why Xie Yuting was so depressed. It turned out that it was because his former teacher had passed away.
"He was murdered," he said.
She opened her eyes slightly, Xie Yuting hugged her tightly and answered her questions.
Xie Yuting's teacher was the previous emperor's Taifu Du Xunmei. Not long after Emperor Liang ascended the throne, the old Taifu intended to retire. Later, he retired to his hometown, resigned from his post, and returned home to live in seclusion in Liuzhou.
No one knew that he did not return to Liuzhou immediately, but secretly stayed in the Eastern Palace to teach the young and unstable Crown Prince. Every late night, he carefully taught him the strategies of governing the country and the art of being an emperor, using almost all his life's knowledge.
It was not until Xie Yuting was sixteen years old that Du Xunmei finally retired and returned to his hometown, Liuzhou.
Now the old tutor is over 70 years old and should have lived a peaceful and happy life, but he was murdered and even his wife and children were hunted down.
The moment Xie Yuting received the urgent letter, he wished he could cut the person who harmed him into pieces, but the Taifu's first wife Pang Shi did not reveal who the real murderer was, and only said in the letter that it was someone from the court.
It is not convenient to describe it in the letter, so it can only be a royal relative.
Jiang Yueying listened quietly and could understand Xie Yuting's feelings.
For him, the old tutor was not only a teacher, but also his only support during the years when he had nothing.
He had to play the role of a ridiculous and playful prince to confuse everyone, but he couldn't really neglect his studies and become unlearned, so he could only indulge himself during the day and study hard late at night. If he hadn't had the old tutor to guide him, who knows how many detours he would have taken.
Dear teacher, dear teacher, the relationship between teachers and students is no less than that between family members.
Jiang Yueying pondered for a long time and said, "Do you want to go to Liuzhou alone?"
Given his personality, he is determined to get to the bottom of this matter.
Xie Yuting nodded: "Liuzhou is far away. I will make up an excuse to fool the accompanying officials, and then take a detour to Liuzhou. You go back to Kyoto first, and I will let all the guards of the East Palace and Yulang escort you."
Jiang Yueying shook her head and said firmly: "I'll go with you."
"From Anzhou to Liuzhou, we need to pass through a snowy mountain. The mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel. It is not convenient to drive a carriage. I'm afraid you will have to ride a horse. You are so delicate. What if you freeze into a snowman..."
"Stop," Jiang Yueying interrupted him, emphasizing seriously, "I'm not squeamish. I'm...brave."
Somehow, staring at the girl's serious expression, the darkness in his heart dissipated a lot and he smiled softly.
"Well, brave little princess."
…
The next day, a huge crash woke up the entire inn.
Immediately afterwards, the officials heard the sound of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess arguing in their sleep, which was louder than the crowing of roosters in the early morning.
What’s going on? Wasn’t it fine yesterday?
They rubbed their sleepy eyes, got up, put on their clothes, and went to mediate the fight dutifully.
"I just want to go to Liuzhou to watch the Thousand Lantern Festival. How dare you stop me!" Jiang Yueying shouted in a raised voice.
Xie Yuting roared even louder: "Why go to Liuzhou? It's so remote. Why should I accompany you to such a remote place? Can you please stop thinking about it?"
"Whether you want to go or not, I will go by myself!"
After saying those harsh words, Jiang Yueying rushed out of the door angrily, slamming the door with a deafening sound.
Bang!
Xie Yuting put his hands on his hips, pulled an official over, and began to complain about how arrogant and unreasonable the Crown Princess was.
When the time was right, Yu Lang hurried in: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess really went to Liuzhou on her own."
The officials were horrified. This was simply ridiculous. If an accident happened on the road, who would be responsible?
"Your Highness, go and persuade the Crown Princess to come back!"
"I won't go!"
The officials begged him desperately, almost kneeling down and kowtowing to him. Xie Yuting frowned irritably and said angrily: "Stop nagging. I'll go and tie her up."
The guards of the Eastern Palace followed Xie Yuting and the accompanying officials watched him leave. They wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and couldn't help but complain in their hearts, what a crappy job it was to have two idiots to deal with. In the future, they would rather pretend to be sick at home than take on any job related to the Eastern Palace.
From sunrise to noon, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned.
Just when they were anxious, a guard from the East Palace came riding in and dropped a message.
"Your Highness has decided to go to Liuzhou's Thousand Lantern Festival with the Crown Princess. I have asked you to tell the others not to wait and to return to the capital according to the route you took."
“…………”The officials were all silent.
Bah, no one in the East Palace is reliable!
