Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 54

"Did the person sent by the queen say anything else?"

Xie Jinhua asked.

If the queen saw more than herself alone, it might be the emperor's intention.

Lily didn't understand what Xie Jinhua meant, and shook her head: "No, the father-in-law said that the mother-in-law wants to see the young lady."

"Is that so?"

Xie Jinhua had deep thoughts in his eyes, and turned to look at Qin Zheng: "A Zheng, you will enter the palace with me."

In Shangshu Mansion, Xie Jinhua was able to keep Qin Zheng once or twice, but he couldn't protect him forever.

No matter what the empress thought when she suddenly summoned her into the palace, Xie Jinhua couldn't wait for the emperor to remain silent for a long time.

Qin Zheng didn't know what was in Xie Jinhua's mind. After hearing her request, he was a little surprised at first, and then couldn't help but overflowed with joy from his eyes.

-

"Hua'er, the empress has summoned me. I don't want to say anything to delay, but you have to remember that you are the daughter of the Xie family. In front of the queen, don't damage the demeanor of the Xie family. What should you say and what should you not say?" , You have to think about it in advance, Xie's family is well, and you will be well."

When Xie Jinhua took Qin Zheng and Baihe out, Huang stopped them in front of them, and opened his mouth to say what seemed to be a threat.

She was very worried that Xie Jinhua went to the palace to say more things, such as what Xie Jinyao did in Xie Jin's studio yesterday.

For Xie Jinyao, the best way to solve her own stains is to temporarily stay out of everyone's sight.

Xie Jinhua slightly curled his lips: "My daughter is dull, can mother teach her what to say and what not to say?"

Huang's face turned cold when she heard Xie Jinhua's words that were pretending to be confused, "Hua'er, I am your mother, don't you even listen to what your mother says?"

Even being praised by the emperor as a role model for all the ladies in the capital would ruin her reputation if she was unfilial.

Mrs. Huang, this is already a real threat.

The expression of Lily next to Xie Jinhua changed, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

She wanted to draw Xie Jin to remind her, but the girl bent down unexpectedly: "Daughter Jin obeys her mother's teachings, and she will definitely not damage the family style of Xie's family. Be careful, mother, please rest assured."

Her almost subdued behavior made Huang Shi a little bit astonished.

"It's good that you know it in your heart. Also, Yao'er and Princess Yong'an were just accidentally involved. If the empress asks, you should answer carefully."

Huang's attitude softened a bit, but it was because of Xie Jinyao.

Xie Jinhua lowered his head: "My daughter knows."

Huang didn't know that the father-in-law from the Queen's Palace who came to announce the decree happened to stand outside the courtyard and listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter.

Xie Jinhua saw the empress, no matter what the empress was thinking, Huang's warnings seemed to him to be disrespectful to the empress.

Didn't the empress in the palace still eat people?

What does it mean to say what should be said, not to say what should not be said, what does it mean to not lose the demeanor of the Xie family when you go there!
Xie Jinhua saw that the maroon purple that only high-ranking eunuchs in the palace could wear disappeared from the gate of the courtyard, and the smile on his lips became more and more gentle.

Look, there is no need for her to go to the queen to say something. Naturally, someone will help her say what she wants to say.

-

The palace is dense, after entering the palace gate, there will be a guard holding a Mingo in three or five steps, the people coming and going in the palace are orderly, passing by constantly, everyone is cautious, no one dares Do stop or speak more.

This is the palace.

The palace where I died in my previous life.

Until death, there was no one who cared about her and was by her side.

What she used to care about, wished she would die, what she used to care about has long since disappeared. This palace is the beginning of everything and the end of everything. It is the grave of her previous life.

Xie Jinhua's eyes were dark and she didn't say a word, the deeper she went into the palace, the closer she was to the Qifeng Palace where the queen was, the tighter her heart became, as if an invisible hand was oppressing her.

All kinds of deaths in the previous life, the torture, pain, humiliation, despair, and trance in the previous life in that palace all appeared before his eyes.

Already able to see the lintel of Qifeng Palace, Xie Jinhua's footsteps stopped.

A strange color appeared in his eyes, his complexion turned pale, and his body was even a little unsteady.

She thought that she didn't care anymore, that she only had hatred in her heart, but when she got here, she realized that she also remembered the fear and despair at that time.

At this moment, a familiar scream sounded in a trance, it was her voice.

It was in Qifeng Palace that Xie Jinyao made her experience extreme pain and despair. It was in this palace that represented the queen's phoenix and the mother's world that Xie Jinyao broke all her softness.

Xie Jinhua's eyes gradually melted into deep blackness, and she slowly clenched her five fingers hidden under her sleeves.

The nails were about to sink into the flesh.

When Xie Jinhua's breath was not right, Qin Zheng noticed it, but there were too many people here, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Xie Jinhua, so he pretended not to check. At this moment, Xie Jinhua stopped suddenly, his face was pale, When his body was shaking, Qin Zheng couldn't care about anything else.

He took a step forward and supported Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua loosened her tightly clenched fingers.

Can't lose my temper.

she told herself in her heart.

But the next moment, the trembling fingers were held by another hand.

When Lily looked over in surprise, Qin Zheng calmly took Xie Jinhua's slightly trembling fingers under the cover of Xie Jinhua's wide sleeves: "Sister, I'm here."

His voice was low and hoarse, but to Xie Jinhua's ears, it shook like thunder.

He was telling her that no matter what you are afraid of, I am here and I will always protect you.

The boy's eyes were full of such stubbornness and firmness.

Xie Jinhua met Qin Zheng's eyes, her five fingers were tightly grasped by the young man's five fingers, and the base of her fingers felt a slight pain because of the sudden confinement.

However, the dull pain of being needed by the young man pulled her mind out little by little from those blood, those struggles, and those despairs.

Xie Jinhua took a deep look at Qin Zheng, turned his head and looked forward without saying anything.

It's just that the hand held by the boy under her sleeve never moved, and she never wanted to reject the boy again.

Something is quietly changing.

Lily stood behind the two of them, close to each other, and kept watching carefully. Others couldn't tell, but she could clearly see Qin Zheng's movements just now. The brows that were originally raised were not seen by Xie Jin's calm expression. When continuing to walk with Qin Zheng, it gradually turned into shock and doubt.

She just knew that Xie Jinhua was too kind to Qin Zheng, and she just thought that Qin Zheng would bring trouble to Xie Jinhua, but at this moment, she realized something else in a daze.

The back view of the boys and girls holding each other's hands and walking at the same time made Lily's heart feel more and more uneasy.

-

"Miss Xie, Rong Nucai went in to inform the empress, please wait here for a while."

The moment Xie Jinhua stepped into Qifeng Palace, the father-in-law who was leading the way also stopped. He turned his head and smiled at Xie Jinhua, and then greeted a little maid without waiting for Xie Jinhua to answer. Come over here to serve, after that, go straight to the queen's bedroom.

The father-in-law seemed to be polite, but in fact he might not have any kindness towards Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua glanced at the back of the other party, slowly withdrew his hands from Qin Zheng's, and slightly closed his hands, sticking them to the lower abdomen, which was an extremely standard standing posture.

The maid beside Xie Jinhua who was called by the father-in-law looked at him in surprise, said nothing, lowered her head, and stood silently by her side.

The sun in the sky was constantly emitting light and heat, and when Xie Jinhua's forehead was dripping with sweat, the excitement and excitement in Lily's eyes were gradually replaced by fear.

Qin Zheng moved his body quietly, just blocking the sunniest place on the side of Xie Jinhua.

It's just that his figure hasn't grown up after all, even if he stands in such a position deliberately, it only helps Xie Jinhua to block a small part of the sunlight, and most of it falls on Xie Jinhua's body.

Qin Zheng's eyes were dark, and he wished that he would become extremely tall immediately, so that he could completely cover the girl under his wings and help her shield her from all the scorching sun and wind.

Xie Jinhua only felt that the scorching heat on his body was relieved, and with a movement of his eyes, he saw the tall and straight figure of a young man like a poplar, and couldn't help it, his heart softened.

"This girl, I don't know what your mother is today"

Lily is a person who knows the seriousness, even if it is such a big thing to enter the palace, she is just a little excited and apprehensive, but after standing like this for a long time, she is a little uneasy, especially when she sees the sweat rolling down Xie Jinhua's forehead , couldn't help but wanted to find out something about the situation from the mouth of the silent maid beside her.

"Lily, this is not Shangshu's mansion, but the empress's palace, don't mess with the rules."

Xie Jinhua blocked Lily's question.

Lily opened her mouth.

"Miss."

Her heart was full of anxiety, precisely because it was not Shangshufu, what if the queen had any opinion on Xie Jinhua and wanted to study it deliberately?
In the inner courtyard of the palace, aren't the three of them the fish in the hands of others?

She thought of the feud between Xie Jinhua and Princess Yong'an.

Xie Jinhua shook his head slightly: "The empress is usually busy with many things in the palace, sharing worries for her majesty, where is there any extra time, just wait, compared with the hard work of the empress, it is nothing. "

"Miss Xie's family really knows how to speak and understands the general situation."

A voice came from the front.

A female official who seemed to be of high grade walked out of the hall and walked in front of Xie Jinhua.

After seeing her upright standing posture, she smiled slightly: "Miss Xie, the empress just finished her work and thought of you, but the little palace lady doesn't know how to be polite, so she asked you to wait under the scorching sun."

"Auntie, forgive me, it's because the servants didn't know how to be polite and neglected Miss Xie."

The little maid who had never said much fell to her knees on the ground with a thud the moment the aunt's words fell.

"This slave doesn't know his identity, and has neglected Miss Xie's family, how do you think we should deal with it?"

The aunt turned her head to look at Xie Jinhua, implying something.

"The courtier is not her serious master, and the father-in-law just let her accompany her. She made a mistake, and it was only because of inadvertence, not negligence. What's more, this is a person in the empress's palace. Whether there is something wrong, there are palace rules for killing and cutting, and the courtiers have no room to comment."

Xie Jinhua replied in this way.

The voice was gentle and well-organized, which made the aunt's eyes a little more appreciative.

Xie Jinhua's response like this is the smartest.

He never pretended to be soft-hearted and didn't blame the little maid at all, nor did he ruin his identity by shouting and killing.

It is even more important to point out that the palace rules are the most important. It is no wonder that such a calm and calm temperament can be appreciated by the emperor.

"Xizhu, you neglected the guests, and punished you for a small punishment. Go outside and punish him by kneeling for half an hour."

The aunt gave instructions to the little maid, and turned to Xie Jinhua: "Miss Xie, come with me."

Because Qin Zheng is a man, he has no way to follow Xie Jin in the painting.

I can only watch Lily follow Xie Jinhua farther and farther, frowning slightly, eyes always looking there, concentrating.

"Your Majesty originally summoned Miss Xie alone, but it was delayed because of an unexpected visitor. Miss Xie will go in later, so you have to be careful."

When my aunt was at the door of the bedroom, she whispered something to Xie Jinhua.

Lily's eyes trembled, and she looked at Xie Jinhua worriedly, which clearly said that there was a big trouble inside.

Xie Jin hooked his lips, and smiled calmly: "Thank you, aunt, for your advice."

Stepped into the bedroom.

"My daughter, Xie Jia, would like to draw a picture to see the Empress Empress."

After seeing the first touch of crimson from the corner of his eyes, Xie Jinhua stopped and saluted. His voice was crisp and clear, his description was calm, his face was beautiful, and his charm was excellent. Looking at it like this, it looked like a painting.

"Second Niang of the Xie family, she is indeed extremely beautiful."

A voice came from the side, with a smile in it.

The next moment, a teacup slammed down in front of Xie Jinhua's feet: "No wonder you have the guts to seduce your majesty and behave indiscriminately. Erniang Xie, you can be convicted!"

The maliciousness was not concealed in the shrill voice.

Lily couldn't help but knelt down on the ground, and opened her mouth to cry for grievances.

Xie Jinhua laughed suddenly, the laughter was clear and mellow, like the first cry of a spirit bird, it was very touching: "This lady is joking, I don't know where I heard such a funny joke from? The little grandmother If you want to have a big birthday, you can invite the person who arranges such jokes to tell a special one, and you can earn a penny more."
