I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Xu Jiao wanted to defend herself, but the look in Shang Yu Ye's eyes at this moment was bottomless. The moment Xu Jiao met her, it was as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff and looking down.

Only the empty wind brushed against her skin.

In these eyes, which are the same as those of the person she remembered and fell in love with later, there is no tenderness, no tenderness, and no emotional feedback that she wants to get.

In this world, she is a supported emperor, a chess piece and a puppet in the opponent's hand. If she can't show her use value and is not well-behaved enough, she will be killed at any time.

And this one in front of you——

Is the chess player.

The one who can control her life and death.

It is the heroine of this world, Yu Ye.

Also... the regent who doesn't remember all the past with her, and who is extremely emotional.

Xu Jiao felt that something tender in her heart was being covered up layer by layer, so that those warm and soft emotions could no longer emerge, as if at this moment there was a real change of the world, and the front edge was broken. realism.

Even if Yu Ye and Zheng Zhiyu have one word overlap, they... are not the same person after all.

Facing Master Yu like this, Xu Jiao couldn't bring out her previous attitude towards Lilith and Zheng Zhiyu, thinking about her own behavior just now, Xu Jiao lowered her head, under Yu Ye's sharp eyes that were almost staring at her, just He calmly lowered his gaze.

Like a tamed gesture.

Yu Ye's pinching of her face immediately relaxed, and at this moment, Xu Jiao's voice had already said:

"I was too presumptuous and forgot the etiquette."

"Forgive me, Master Yu. If you are really angry, I will copy ten times the etiquette in the palace that I have learned recently. Will Master Yu be satisfied with this?"

Hearing her cold tone, Yu Ye couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

The one who is clearly unruly is Xu Jiao, why does it sound like she is the one who is a little unhappy?His Royal Highness the prince is too tempered.

Forced the other party, and did not hear the soft coquettishness before, Yu Ye felt a little stuck in his heart. Before, he thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was a delicate and transparent type who could read other people's minds, but now he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that Xu Jiaoyu's head was not right. enlightened.

Is it because she became a prince, learned the emperor's mentality, and knew that she was her biggest competitor on the road to power, so she refused to show weakness in front of her and be at a disadvantage?

After thinking about it, Yu Ye got into a dead end.

The expression is not very good-looking.

Naturally, Xu Jiao could see that she was in a very bad mood. Looking at Yu Ye's appearance, she immediately understood why the palace people around her thought that the regent was volatile and moody. Many times, people feel that they have a little understanding of the heroine in the novel, but they still don't know what is going on with Yu Ye's face-changing in Sichuan opera.

But she was getting impatient too.

Immediately, her back was pressed against the inner side of the bed, and through the thin single clothes, the high wooden screen-like solid bed surround gave her a cool feeling, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up in shock.

But Xu Jiao didn't show anything on her face, she just maintained a quiet picture, like a perfect actor wrapped in a well-behaved skin, sat up calmly, and said to Yu Ye:

"Maybe it's because I still have some old bad habits in the palace that haven't changed. In order to avoid any misunderstandings with my lord sharing the same bed with me, I'll invite the palace servants to send you back to the mansion."

No matter how nice and cute the words are, it can't hide the meaning of expulsion in it.

Yu Ye felt furious when he heard this. She wondered why this little guy was so ungrateful and dared to show his teeth and claws at her like this. She wanted to teach Xu Jiao a lesson, but her eyes were on Xu Jiao's face that hadn't fully recovered her blood color. After walking around, the ugly words that came out of my mouth didn't come out.

In the end, she just snorted coldly, lifted the quilt, and walked towards the outside of the hall with a flick of her sleeves.

The temperature beside the bed dropped again.

Xu Jiao put the only soft golden round pillow in the center, and spread out her quilt again, and then moved to the middle of the bed to lie down, obviously her body was no longer so cold and her stomach hurt, but she unexpectedly Some can't sleep.

It seemed that there was something empty beside the pillow.

When the thought flashed in her mind, she curled her lips, which was a bit too funny.

Whether it was the cold-blooded animal Lilith or the ghost Zheng Zhiyu, when they shared the bed with her, they never annoyingly made her bed cold. It's cold, and I even have to turn up the heating. Now it's just one less ice cube to sleep next to.

Why are you still reluctant?

Xu Jiao thought, she seemed to have become a little weaker in her heart.

Over the years, the heart wall has been surrounded by layers of iron fences and thorns, a high wall that cannot let anyone in. Now she looks back, only to find that although those thorns look thorny, when she really touches them, they are not. Like a ripe durian shell, it looks bluffing on the outside, but the thorns have softened a bit.

blunt.

I don't know how many thieves will be secretly let in behind her back.

Xu Jiao exhaled lightly, pulled the quilt to her shoulders, closed her eyes quietly, hypnotized herself to sleep quickly, and told herself again in her heart:

You should let it go.

……

Yu Ye walked out of the inner hall of the East Palace.

The silvery moonlight fell on her shoulders, revealing the hidden patterns woven with precious silk threads in the clothes, which were erased by the shadows again during her walking movements.

Her figure was on the promenade, drawn very long by the moonlight.

Now that she was blown by the cold wind in the courtyard, she had already cleared up the pictures of herself getting along with the prince, and she warned herself not to take the prince's momentary weakness tonight seriously.

The fate of despising women...

Xu has already learned a lesson from her, and she should not repeat the same mistakes.

That was a 15-year-old prince who might inherit Dayan's orthodox royal family in the future.

It was a fledgling bird.

But the ankle was tied with the chain she tied, because she did not allow His Highness the Crown Prince to escape her control, and there was really no need to mix too much emotion into this kind of control.

All she needs is a sensible puppet.

Not even pets.

If you keep it as a pet, after a while, you will still feel distressed for a while if you kill it.

Yu Ye thought that she had lost too many important people in her life. When the Xu family ransacked the house, she didn't even let the dog in the yard go.

Her heart was riddled with holes as early as when she was young, like a ship with holes, unable to carry any emotions.

……

There seems to be a rift between the crown prince and the regent.

I don't know what the Crown Prince did to annoy the Regent.

The eyeliners in the East Palace spread the news to Dayan's court not long after.

Although no one knew exactly how it happened, the regent had clearly gone to the palace of His Highness the Crown Prince to guard her safety a few days ago, but the regent changed his mind overnight.

She never brought up the proposal to make the prince emperor in the court again.

At the same time, she also strengthened the defense of the East Palace, but this time, the courtiers seemed to get something out of it. In the eyes of the opposition, Yu Ye's behavior was more like guarding her than protecting Xu Jiao's safety. , restricting her freedom.

For a long time, there were fewer assassins who assassinated her than before. Of course, these are all things to come.

At present, the court is full of undercurrents, and people have speculated about Yu Ye's subsequent actions, whether he will abolish the female prince Xu Jiao and establish a new royal family, or want to use Xu Jiao as a superficial target. In fact, he really wants to take over the power of the court.

For this reason, the minds of some veteran officials and family members who wanted to control the government were also floating.

No one cared about Xu Jiao's mood, nor would they explore her emotional changes during the relationship between her and Yu Ye, nor would they care about her future life in the palace, being highly praised , What does it feel like to be thrown down again... This is the court, it is a struggle for power, and people born in the center of the vortex, emotions are too small an influencing factor, because there are more important things than this.

She is weak and deserves to be crushed by the wheel of history.

Xu Jiao is obviously in the deep palace and has never been to court, but she also knows all kinds of movements in the previous court from the occasional discussions of the people around her. She heard those people say that Yu Ye detested her, and she also found that The palace servants around her began to show a little perfunctory when serving her.

But she didn't even raise an eyebrow.

I just quietly turned over a page of the book in my hand, and smelled the stuffy smell of scroll ink on the old book that hadn't seen the sun for years.

The system asked her in her mind: "Are you a little disappointed and sad? How about I tell you about the heroine's current favorability for you? It's 1. Surprised or not?"

Xu Jiao found the answer to today's homework, put the book aside, raised her hand with a paperweight to press the corners of the rice paper in front of her, then raised her hand to grind it herself, pinching her sleeves, her movements were not too fast, as if she was very patient look.

"Not sad, not surprised, not surprised."

System: "Huh?"

Xu Jiao's eyes moved a little, like a small drop of water inadvertently falling on the water, and soon there was no trace, she answered the system calmly in her mind:

"It's a good thing."

"If Yu Ye controls the previous dynasty and becomes the emperor herself, her career line will be considered a success. As long as she doesn't die in the future, the ending of this book will definitely be he. After returning with a lot of useful knowledge about being an emperor, this may be the world where I can complete the task most easily."

"I should be happy."

……

Things seemed to be as Xu Jiao expected.

When the entire Great Yan court was fluctuating because of Yu Ye's attitude towards the prince, Dayan suddenly ushered in foreign ministers from Qi and Chu, because Liang State in the northwest was in a predicament at war with the three grassland tribes outside the Great Wall. He was hit by an arrow on the battlefield, although he didn't know the extent of the injury, this moment is the moment when Liang's rear is wide open and the domestic defense is insufficient.

Qi State, as an intermediate country bordering the four countries, has fallen into the title of the cultural capital of the past. The courtiers are divided into four or five factions, and they fight every day. King Qi is a peacemaker, working hard among the various factions. , because it emphasizes civility over martial arts, it is a target that anyone can fight, and it can only continue to exist by hugging the thighs of the powerful countries around it, so now it is following behind Chu State to wave the flag and shout, and take advantage of the situation.

However, the state of Chu itself was backward in military equipment due to the stupidity and wantonness of the monarch in recent years, so it was unable to fight against the mighty Mr. Liang alone. It can definitely beat the other four countries.

They just took advantage of Liang Guo's illness and wanted Liang Guo's life.

After all, the place where Liang State borders Qi is the fortress of the Central Plains, who can't be tempted?

The friendship between Chu State and Dayan has always been good. After all, the two countries are very similar in a certain sense. The royal family of Chu State specializes in embellishments, and the beauties in the harem can be said to have everything from all corners of the world. I heard that when he was still the prince, he had followed his father to play with all the beauties in the palace.

And Dayan...

Specializes in lunatics and perverts.

If the monarchs on both sides sit down and chat together, they might be able to talk about some common topics between psychopaths.

Far away.

This time when Yu Ye launched a palace change, the Chu State sent envoys to see him, and wanted to talk about Dayan's situation, whether he could still maintain the friendship with Chu State, and I don't know what Yu Ye talked about with the envoys .

A few days later, Dayan spread the news——

Yu Ye led the army in person, and as the commander-in-chief of the Qi, Chu, and Yan armies, he went to Liang Guo.

Another March.

The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms defeated Liang Guo and took the five counties of Xiluo, the fortress in Guanzhong.

At the same time, Liang Guo sent the newly established 17-year-old prince to Dayan as a hostage.

……

That night, Yu Ye led his troops back home in triumph.

The Dayan Palace held a celebration banquet, and the water flowed continuously during the banquet. Envoys from all over the world came to congratulate. The Dayan royal family sent a total of 88 men with good looks and good appearances to the regent and protect the country. General Yu Ye.

Sitting at the banquet, Xu Jiao saw Yu Ye ordering the people around him to accept the gift without changing his face, and at the same time said polite words to the envoy of Chu State to thank him.

The palace sang and danced until late at night.

On the way, Xu Jiao got up to leave, and suddenly became interested in admiring the moon, but on the way to the imperial garden, the palace servants accidentally bumped into a young man dressed in moon white.

The people around her came up in time to tell her that this was the Prince of Liang, Nie Yunyue.

The man behaved politely, and when he saw her arguing, he immediately offered an apology.

Xu Jiao sized him up, and found that the legendary hero who lived in the text was really good-looking, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, like a bright and bright tomorrow, very bright and beautiful.

She smiled, and was about to wave her hand to clear up the misunderstanding——

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the side: "There is a feast in the palace today, and His Royal Highness didn't celebrate the victory for his ministers, why did he come here to have a private meeting with a beautiful lady?"
