Chapter 116 Crash
Yan Zhiyi lowered her head slightly.
The Queen raised her eyes to glance at Yan Zhiyi and said, "Come closer."
Yan Zhiyi approached the queen.
The queen whispered in Yan Zhiyi's ear.
Yan Zhiyi listened carefully for a while, then looked at the queen in surprise and shook her head repeatedly: "Aunt, this is not possible, no, no."
"Nothing is impossible. As long as you enter the Eastern Palace, your aunt will take care of everything for you." The queen was full of confidence.
Yan Zhiyi was confused: "But, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from ordinary men."
The queen said decisively: "All men in the world are the same."
Yan Zhiyi frowned, looking worried: "But..."
The queen comforted him: "Don't worry."
Yan Zhiyi was still unwilling: "Aunt, I..."
"Haven't you always liked him?" asked the Queen.
Yan Zhiyi couldn't refute this, but she resisted doing bad things.
The Queen took Yan Zhiyi's hand and gently persuaded her, "Zhiyi, your aunt has no children, and has always treated you as her own daughter. I sincerely hope that you will have a good life in the future. The prince is handsome, capable, and responsible. There is no one more suitable for you than him."
Yan Zhiyi looked straight at the queen, her heart in a mess.
The Queen continued, "Think about the time when you were little, when you ate together and played together... Don't you want to continue those days?"
Yan Zhiyi couldn't answer.
The Queen continued, "Wouldn't it be nice to take this opportunity to grab the one you love?"
Yan Zhiyi's eyes were dazed, and her past with Pei Jingzhou emerged in her mind. It was so beautiful, so happy, and so unforgettable.
She didn't want to stop there.
I really don't want to.
Her eyes slowly focused, and when they met the Queen's expectant gaze, she finally made up her mind and nodded slowly: "Okay."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, patted her hands slowly, stuffed a package into her hands, and said repeatedly: "Good child, good child."
Yan Zhiyi held it tightly and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou not far away.
Pei Jingzhou was lowering his head slightly to introduce the characters on the stage to Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Oh, but what are they singing?"
"If you listen carefully, you'll hear it."
"How can I recognize a word with such a long tone?" Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't understand the lyrics when he listened to opera in his previous life.
Pei Jingzhou smiled and told the lyrics to Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't like listening to opera at first, as she always felt it was too long and a waste of time. But after hearing Pei Jingzhou's explanation, she found it particularly interesting.
Pei Jingzhou saw the joy on her face and asked, "Does it sound good?"
"It sounds good, and it looks good." Jiang Zhaoyue pointed at the people in fancy clothes showing off their martial arts on the stage: "How impressive."
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yes, it's all the result of hard work."
Jiang Zhaoyue said naturally: "Your kung fu is also the result of hard work."
"That's right." Pei Jingzhou put in a lot of hard work.
Jiang Zhaoyue then said, "My kung fu is also acquired through hard training."
Pei Jingzhou asked in surprise: "What kind of Kung Fu do you have?"
Jiang Zhaoyue proudly replied, "Shameless skills."
Pei Jingzhou wanted to laugh, but suddenly thought of her mother's early death. She grew up under the doting of her stepmother and experienced so many rumors. If she was not thick-skinned, she would never have grown up so well.
He couldn't laugh, and held her hand distressedly: "Good skills."
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't know that he was thinking so much. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said, "Your Highness, are you mocking me?"
Pei Jingzhou said solemnly: "No, sincerely."
As they were talking, Concubine Hui, Princess Duojia, the Second Prince's wife and others, for the Queen's sake, all came with gifts and auspicious words to celebrate Yan Zhiyi's birthday.
Yan Zhiyi expressed her gratitude one by one.
Everyone sat down.
The opera on the stage also turned festive, and at the end of each show there were birthday wishes for Yan Zhiyi.
It can be seen that the queen really loves Yan Zhiyi.
Yan Zhiyi was very moved. When the opera came to an end, she stood up and raised her glass to express her gratitude and filial piety to the queen.
The Queen accepted it with a smile.
Yan Zhiyi expressed her gratitude to Concubine Hui and others, and then came to Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, I'm really happy that you can come today. I'd like to offer you a small amount of wine to express my gratitude." Yan Zhiyi turned around, picked up the wine pot from the maid's tray, and poured three glasses of wine.
One cup for Pei Jingzhou and one cup for Jiang Zhaoyue.
Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes to glance at the wine in the glass, then took it.
Jiang Zhaoyue took it as well.
"Please." Yan Zhiyi drank it first.
Pei Jingzhou raised his head and drank, but stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Zhaoyue: "You are not feeling well, so don't drink."
Jiang Zhaoyue's menstrual fluid hadn't been cleared yet, so it was indeed unsuitable for her to drink. However, she couldn't refuse the hostess's face, so she picked up the hot water in front of her and said, "I'll toast you with water instead of wine."
Seeing Jiang Zhaoyue so sincere, Yan Zhiyi felt guilty. Just at this moment, she noticed the Queen's gaze and turned to look over.
The Queen nodded at her.
Yan Zhiyi looked at Pei Jingzhou and said, "The food will be served soon, enjoy it."
Jiang Zhaoyue and the other person nodded.
Yan Zhiyi continued to toast others and then returned to the queen.
"Have you finished toasting?" asked the Queen.
Yan Zhiyi nodded.
"Madame Yu, come here," the Queen called.
Nanny Yu leaned over and whispered to the Queen.
The Queen whispered something.
Nanny Yu listened, nodded, and then left the theater.
After a while, Pei Jing came up to Pei Jingzhou and whispered a few words.
Pei Jingzhou nodded, then said to Jiang Zhaoyue: "I have to go out for something and will be back soon."
Jiang Zhaoyue watched the fight on the stage with great interest and nodded randomly.
Pei Jingzhou said nothing and walked away.
The Queen turned her head to look at Yan Zhiyi and said, "You should go too."
Yan Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then stood up and left the theater.
One opera ended and another one began, but Jiang Zhaoyue had just drunk a lot of water and wanted to go to the bathroom, so he told Xiangqiao.
"Do you want to tell the Queen?" Xiang Qiao asked.
"She is so engrossed in watching the play, so don't disturb her. She goes to the toilet quickly, so we'll go quietly and come back quietly." Jiang Zhaoyue didn't like being disturbed when she was watching the play, so she didn't want to disturb the Queen and others because of this little thing.
The play on the stage was at its climax, and everyone was watching intently. Xiang Qiao said, "Then let's go this way so we don't disturb anyone else."
Jiang Zhaoyue followed Xiangqiao and quietly left the courtyard. It was already dark, so they took a shortcut and walked through a moon-shaped door. Suddenly, they heard Yan Zhiyi's voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them paused.
Xiang Qiao whispered, "Crown Princess, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Yan Er."
Jiang Zhaoyue was at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat.
She suddenly pulled Xiangqiao and quickly hid in the corner, then leaned against the crabapple-shaped window. Watching the slender Yan Zhiyi walk step by step towards the tall Pei Jingzhou, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
