Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 105
Xia Zijin walked in gradually, only to hear the cheers from the crowd getting louder and louder. It seemed that there were people in the circle who were exercising martial arts. When you approached, you could see figures flying up from time to time. The female relatives were more reserved, and they just covered their faces with handkerchiefs and cheered softly. , while the young people applauded loudly.

"Ah, cousin, you're here!" Liu Anli stood at the periphery of the crowd and was discussing academics with the new champion Fang Zhou, when he saw Xia Zijin approaching from a distance led by the maid, he called out with a smile.

Fang Zhou looked up, and the light and delicate Xia Zijin today was different from the previous two times. The first time I saw her was a noble and unattainable royal lady, and the second time I saw her dressed in black, simple and wise.She seems to have multiple faces, each of which is equally lifelike.

Before he came back to his senses, Xia Zijin had already walked in front of him, and Yingying's smiling face was close at hand.

"Fang Zhuangyuan, don't come here without any harm." Xia Zijin said with a smile. Now Fang Zhou has been promoted as a monk of the Imperial Academy. With his talent, it will be a matter of time before he becomes an official.

Fang Zhou bowed to Xia Zijin cautiously, but his delicate face became slightly hot. He knew that he could not climb high, but he couldn't help the admiration that crept out of his heart, and sighed in his heart.

"Is the person in the center Cousin Anqi?" Xia Zijin asked after hearing the bursts of cheers as the figure in black clothes in the center flew up and down, such a sassy demeanor made her somewhat familiar.

"Exactly, big brother is competing with this year's champion of martial arts!" Liu Anli proudly said, "But I'm not bragging, big brother's martial arts is one of the best among his peers, I'm afraid the champion of martial arts has met a strong opponent!"

As soon as the words fell, the cheers in the crowd doubled, and a slightly magnetic voice said generously: "Captain Liu really deserves his reputation, I admit defeat."

Liu Anqi retracted his fists and stood up, and said heartily: "I just went to the front a few times to gain more experience. The martial arts champion is very skilled. Given time, I will be willing to bow down."

Liu Anqi's heroic figure is very eye-catching among all the children, and with his star eyebrows and sword eyes, he inherited Liu Xiangqin and Qin's outstanding appearance when they were young. Such a young and promising handsome boy makes people The surrounding female relatives couldn't help but send their eyes shyly.

Liu Anqi and Liu Anli were the only two brothers from Liu Xiangqin's branch of the Liu family. The female relatives present were all young ladies from the side branches of the Liu family. In his heart, he hoped that if one of the two brothers of the Liu family could take a fancy to them, he would be able to take the whole family upstream.

"Brother, cousin is here!" Liu Anli waved to Liu Anqi in the crowd, causing everyone to look over.

"See Princess Pearl!"

Who else can be worthy of being a cousin of Mr. An Li, besides the current Princess Mingzhu, young children and young ladies salute together, and they are also very cautious about the etiquette of respecting the royal family.

"Excuse me, today's Japanese princess is celebrating An Li's birthday just like you, everyone is of the same age, so don't stick to etiquette."

Xia Zijin was kind and honest, and she didn't have the lofty self-esteem that other princesses had at all, which made everyone feel a little fond of her. In addition, she had a noble status and a very good relationship with the Liu family brothers. Thoughts of wanting to make friends gathered around one after another, you praised Xia Zijin all over again.

"Princess Mingzhu is so beautiful. I thought that Xishi Diaochan was only found in books, but I didn't expect to see it for real today." A daughter from the side branch of the Liu family said softly, comparing Xia Zijin with a peerless beauty.

"It's just that, the princess sister is naturally beautiful, and she wears such an elegant dress to make her look so beautiful." Another young lady from the concubine also replied, and she has already enthusiastically called her sister, very familiar with her. .

Behind the crowd, there was a pair of eyes full of jealousy and resentment, a thin lip on a palm-sized face was bitten by white teeth, and his hands were clenched in the sleeves.

"Humph... what's so great about it, I'm just an actor." The owner of those eyes was Liu Xianxian, who had hated Xia Zijin for a long time. She muttered softly, but was still heard by those who were close. The harsh tone could not help but make the few people feel a little disgusted, and they kept away from her calmly.

Xia Zijin noticed Liu Xianxian staring at her early in the morning, and ignored her, and responded politely several times with the ladies, and said with a smile: "My princess came a step late, I heard the cheers in the yard, but didn't look at it." It is a pity to know the scene where my cousin and Wu Zhuangyuan competed."

"If my cousin wants to see it, I will..."

Just as Liu Anqi was about to speak, Liu Anli covered his mouth, Liu Anli poked him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, today is my birthday, if you play all your eighteen moves again, brother You stole all my limelight!"

Liu Anli's words amused everyone. Compared with the son of Liu's family, who is outstanding in martial arts and heroic, this humorous and elegant son is also very popular among ladies. It is no wonder that everyone envies Mrs. Liu and Qin's good fortune. Both civil and martial arts are so outstanding, and their status in the mansion is stable. It is already a blessing of several lifetimes for an ordinary lady to have such a lifetime.

"Who can steal your limelight, everyone is here for you today, even the number one scholar in civil and military affairs has been applauded, you kid is going to have fun!" Liu Anqi stretched out his hand and rubbed Liu Anli's head, Smiled angrily.

The ladies also know very well that the young talents present here are all upstarts in the imperial court. Although the current official positions are not high, and their status is lower than that of the Liu family brothers, they are all outstanding talents. I have been secretly paying attention.

"Eldest brother and Wu Zhuangyuan met each other late, and they obviously came here for elder brother, and younger brother, I'm the one who gets rich." Liu Anli said with a smile, his sincerity was very flattering.

"In this way, brother, don't you want to show your affection to Wu Zhuangyuan?" Liu Anqi smiled brightly, it can be seen that he has a very good relationship with Wu Zhuangyuan.

"That can't be done. If the eldest brother and Wu Zhuangyuan have worshiped each other, then I will be forgotten by you, younger brother?" Liu Anli said jealously like a child, which made everyone laugh.

"If you can't get married, you can get married. Brother Qi and Wu Zhuangyuan are both in their twenties. They are still unmarried. Wouldn't it be a good story to have friends and relatives?" Someone from the young man said, and it looks like he is also among the upstarts this year. one.

"That's a very good statement! But the two brothers seem to have only brothers and no sisters, what should we do?" Ling a young man followed.

Wu Zhuangyuan has only one twin brother, and this year he won Wu Tanhua, not to be outdone, but he didn't attend due to physical illness, and Liu Anqi naturally only has a younger brother, Liu Anli.

Although there were many Misses from the Liu family who were present, their relationship with the Liu family was not close enough to represent marriage, and Xia Zijin, who was very close to the Liu family in front of her, was a majestic princess, and she was even more unapproachable.

"I remember that the Liu family seems to have a cousin!"

I don't know who spoke first, but everyone thought of Liu Xianxian. Before Xia Zijin came, Miss Liu's side branch also got close to her, but Xia Zijin's light overshadowed her, so no one cared about her.

At this moment, the young people's booing momentum was on the rise, and the young ladies also started to make a fuss together, pushing Liu Xianxian to the front of the crowd with three or five hands pushing and pushing with smiles.

In order to attract everyone's attention, Liu Xianxian specially put on all the jewelry at the bottom of the press box today. The glittering golden headdress dangled in everyone's eyes. Compared with the light and refined Xia Zijin, her face was a bit more vulgar.

"...Miss Liu's Biao is indeed beautiful and intelligent, but I already have a fiancée, I'm afraid I can't wrong Miss Liu's Biao. You and Brother Qi are friends whether you get married or not, it doesn't matter!"

Wu Zhuangyuan waved his hands with a smile, without showing any signs of coddling, and his pertinent words eased the embarrassment of rejecting everyone.

Although Liu Xianxian didn't show it on the face, she smiled contemptuously in her heart. Even if he didn't have a fiancee, would she agree to promise her marriage to a reckless man?What's so great about Wu Zhuangyuan? Compared with his cousin who has become a captain of the Hussars, he is still far behind.

"It's such a pity, I thought we could make a good story today!" The young man who was the most active just now sighed, rolled his eyes, and suddenly shouted, "There is an old saying, the civil and military families are close! The number one scholar has a fiancée, but Mr. Fang, our number one scholar, is alone, why not..."

All present were young and energetic young people, and they had a good relationship with the brothers of the Liu family, so they didn't have so much airs, and the booing sounded again and again.

Fang Zhou had been secretly looking at Xia Zijin when everyone was having fun, and now he was pushed to the center of the incident, a little at a loss. He scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. He is a thin-skinned scholar. The son blushed even more embarrassingly.

"Look! Mr. Fang is blushing, haha, I think he has already taken a fancy to Miss Liu's Biao. Mr. Fang has learned a lot of money, and now he has entered the Imperial Academy. Brother Qi, hurry up and marry Ms. Biao, so that he can be an imperial wife in the future." !" A child of the Liu family teased and said, although Liu Xianxian didn't have much blood relatives with him, but if he could indirectly promote the marriage between Fang Zhou and Liu Xianxian, Mrs. Liu would be very happy. For the offshoots, they can also follow suit.

Although Fang Zhou is full of knowledge, he has never encountered such a situation. Being misunderstood as falling in love with the cousin of the Liu family made him a little helpless. He couldn't help looking at Xia Zijin, and saw that she didn't have any mood swings. lost.
