Chapter 130 Princess Funing
The next day Zhao Xing failed to take Yu Yanran out for boating on the Bian River as promised.
It's not that he was delayed by anything, but it was raining.
The next day, Zhao Xing woke up according to his usual biological clock. When he heard the sound of rain coming from outside, he was too lazy to get up. He rarely stayed in bed.
The sound insulation effect of the house in the East Palace is still very good. At this time, the sound of rain can be heard when the doors and windows are closed, which shows that it is raining heavily.
Although rafting on a rainy day has its own unique charm, it was also a drizzle.
What mood can there be in pouring rain?
So he turned sideways, hugged Yu Yanran tighter, buried his head in her neck, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
When Zhao Xing moved, Yu Yanran woke up in a daze.
The ancients worked at sunrise and rested at sundown, firstly to save money on lamp oil, and secondly because there was a lack of entertainment activities and nothing to do.
Although he would take advantage and do some embarrassing things when he went to bed at night, Zhao Xing was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and did not want to make himself uncomfortable, so he was more restrained.
So the two of them went to bed earlier every night.
She is now somewhat accustomed to Zhao Xing's biological clock. When Zhao Xing wakes up every day, she has almost had enough sleep.
As soon as Zhao Xing moved at this time, she woke up and felt the hot air from Zhao Xing's breath on her neck, which made her feel a little itchy.
Especially when there was something pressing against her, which made her body stiff and very uncomfortable.
They had been sleeping together for a while, and she even served Zhao Xing in the bath. Although she was still a virgin, she was no longer a little girl who didn't understand anything.
So she moved slightly, trying to get further away from the thing pressing against her.
Her movements were very gentle, for fear of waking up Zhao Xing. When she finally moved a little distance, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Xing did not wake up.
At this moment, Zhao Xing put one leg on hers, kissed her neck, and said, "Don't move, sleep for a while longer."
Yu Yanran blushed and said: "Your Highness, you are awake."
"Well, it's raining a bit heavily outside today, so I can't go out to play. Let's sleep a little longer." Zhao Xing said.
"Oh." Yu Yanran closed her eyes after hearing this.
Not long after, the two of them really fell asleep again.
When the two of them woke up, it was already dark.
After washing up, we sat down together and had breakfast.
Zhao Xing took a sip of rice porridge and said with some disappointment: "It hasn't stopped raining outside yet. It seems that we can't go out to play today."
"Your Highness, it's okay. There will always be a chance in the future." Yu Yanran Soothingly.
Yu Yanran’s gentle voice is indeed soothing.
Zhao Xing's originally a little irritable heart also dissipated a lot. He nodded and said: "After eating, I went to review the papers. If the rain stops early, we can go out again."
……
After breakfast, Zhao Xing went to the study to review the papers, while Yu Yanran returned to her yard and continued to make clothes.
Compared with going out to play, she prefers to be a quiet celebrity.
"Your Highness!"
While Zhao Xing was dealing with more than a dozen cases, Sanshui walked up to him and whispered: "Princess Funing is here."
"Sister Huang is here?" Zhao Xing was stunned when he heard this, put down the pen in his hand, and asked: "Where is Sister Huang?"
"My slave has asked Princess Funing to be taken to the main hall of Chaoyang Palace." Sanshui said.
After hearing this, Zhao Xing got up and walked out. On the way, he was still thinking about the purpose of Princess Funing's coming.
His father and the emperor had more than twenty children in total, but most of them died soon after they were born.
Including him, there are only two daughters and one son left.
It’s not to blame for my father’s poor health. Anyone who has endured the pain of losing a son twenty times or so is already a strong-minded person if he is not crazy.
Although she was a princess, because she did not have many children, the official family loved their two daughters very much.
However, the relationship between Zhao Xing and the two of them is not very close.
When he was born, Princess Funing was already married, and Princess Fulin was married when he was more than two years old. There was no time to get along at all. Although the two of them occasionally visited the palace, they didn't dare to get close to him.
Because the chance of heirs of official families dying in infancy is so high, various rumors have even arisen.
Some of them said that the existence of the two of them would harm the prince. Fortunately, the officials did not believe these rumors.
But their biological mother was so frightened that whenever a prince was born, she would keep them away and not allow them to visit.
After Zhao Xing was born, both of them got married one after another. They deliberately kept their distance. Coupled with the age gap, their relationship was naturally not clean.
Even when he moved to the East Palace, his two sisters only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, but no one came.
The sudden visit must have come with a purpose.
When Zhao Xing came to the main hall, he had no idea of the purpose of Princess Funing's visit, but he was not in a hurry. Princess Funing would naturally tell her after they met.
“I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Princess Funing stood up and saluted when Zhao Xing came in.
If Zhao Xing had not been crowned the crown prince, she would naturally not have to salute as her sister.
Whether it is a princess or a prince, there is an essential difference between them and the prince.
The prince is also a king, and the prince and princess are just ministers.
"Sister Huang, please get up quickly. You are the eldest sister, so there is no need for this." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Although Princess Funing is not the oldest, the princes and princesses before her all died in infancy, so she is naturally the oldest.
"Although I am your eldest sister, you are the crown prince, and the etiquette cannot be discarded." Princess Funing said with a smile.
"We are all a family, and there is no one else here, so it doesn't matter. Sister, please sit down."
Zhao Xing asked Princess Funing to sit down, without taking the initiative to ask her why she came, and started chatting with her.
After chatting for a while, Princess Funing said: "Brother Huang, I came here this time to ask you something."
"Sister Huang, if you need anything, just ask me. ." Zhao Xing smiled.
"I heard that the emperor's brother went to the Ministry of Etiquette yesterday, but the ranking for the examination has been decided?" Princess Funing asked.
Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes and said without changing his expression: "It has been decided. I wonder if the emperor is asking about this?"
"The prince-in-law's nephew took part in the imperial examination. I would like to ask him whether he passed or not." Princess Funing said.
Zhao Xing frowned slightly. Princess Funing said that she was asking but she was not successful, but he was not naive enough to think that she was just asking.
Anyway, tomorrow is the day to publish the list. What is the difference between asking and not asking?
Princess Funing married the sixth son of her father's uncle's family, that is, her father's cousin, named Li Jie.
Speaking of this relationship, this relationship is a bit messy, but the father is not the legitimate son, and his relationship with the Li family is the same as that with the Zhu family.
Nominally, his father's name has been adopted into the name of the late Queen Mother.
But my father’s uncle passed away ten years ago.
"Sister Huang, although Gu is the examiner, in fact it is just in name. In fact, it is all under the responsibility of Academician Hai. There are more than two hundred students who have passed the exam, and Gu can do it anywhere. Take note. The list will be posted tomorrow. If Sister Huang is really anxious, can she send someone to ask?" Zhao Xing said with a smile.
"No, I'm mainly here to see you, so I'll just ask about this in passing. No need to bother, the list will be published tomorrow anyway." Princess Funing shook her head.
She didn’t know whether Zhao Xing really didn’t understand her hint or was unwilling to agree.
But no matter which one it was, she was not going to continue talking.
After sitting and chatting for a while, Princess Funing said goodbye and left.
Zhao Xing tried to persuade her to stay, but seeing that she insisted on leaving, he personally escorted her out of the East Palace.
"Brother, please go back. I will come and talk to you next time when I have time." Princess Funing said.
"Okay, remember to bring Gu's nephew to play next time." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
"Okay."
After a few words of greeting, Princess Funing got on the carriage and left.
Zhao Xing showed a smile when he turned his head. He, a cheap sister, knew what he was doing and was pretty good.
