Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 114 Listening to the Corner

After coming out of Lover's Valley, Xiao Huanzi arranged for someone to go to the entrance of the cave in the underground river and mountain to pick up the carriage, and then sent someone to summon a doctor from a nearby medical clinic, who treated Xia Zijin's wound carefully on the carriage, so that he could feel at ease. Drive back.

The scenery along the way was seen by the way, but Xia Zijin felt that it was a bit more eye-catching, just because he was beside him.

Xia Zijin leaned on the curtain and looked at Xia Shengqing who was riding beside her outside the window of the carriage with a smile. She was happy seeing his brows and eyes, and also happy seeing his tall and straight body. Although the words she said to Rongyu in the redwood forest just now In order to anger him, but it is also true that it is her heart.Compared to marrying Lin Runyu, who everyone said was good in the previous life, Xia Shengqing in this life is thousands of times better.

"Princess, Yonghe Street is ahead. You haven't eaten since morning. Do you want to find a restaurant to fill your stomach?" Xiaokui rubbed her legs and said softly.

"Yonghe Street?" Xia Zijin thought for a while, and it seemed to be a very lively place in his memory.

Xiao Huanzi was driving a carriage, and asked with a smile: "Is it the street next to the Confucius Temple? I remember that I used to go there to attend temple fairs when I was a child. The Yunxuan Restaurant at the street corner is very famous for its dishes, especially the signature dish, stir-fried bullfrog with spicy peppers. The taste has been praised by everyone, so that in order to have a meal, there are always people who go early in the morning to reserve a seat, otherwise it is often full of seats if you go late!"

After all, Xiao Huanzi's stomach gurgled, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Huanzi also blushed embarrassedly and scratched his head.

"Since Xiao Huanzi agreed, let's go. It just so happens that the princess is also a little hungry. It's just that the restaurant business is so booming. I don't know if there are any seats left at this hour." Xia Zijin smiled, and looked at Xia Shengqing. glance.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a few tall men riding slowly in the distance behind the carriage, and followed them cautiously at a certain distance. A bit of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at those men who stopped in place and pretended to be While talking, the landlord couldn't help staring at this side of his eyes.

Xia Zijin smiled with her lips curled up. It seemed that she had brought a team of tails with her when she came out of Lover's Valley.

Xia Shengqing obviously also noticed the weirdness of the people behind him, she turned her head and whispered, "I'll go and lure them away."

"No need, these people don't look like they are from Shangjing. You can see that their pupils are azure blue, which is different from ours. They are very similar to the son of Prince Rong. If you guess correctly, they should be his people." Xia Zijin said, and smiled softly at Xia Shengqing, "Just pretend you don't know, the road leads to the sky on each side, why should we worry if people don't feel tired?"

Xia Shengqing thought about it for a while, and felt that there should be nothing serious, so she also nodded.

The two of them didn't tell the truth, they generously let Xiao Huanzi drive all the way to Yunxuan Restaurant, and sure enough, as Xiao Huanzi said, even though the restaurant was past noon, the restaurant was still busy with business, and you could hear it from time to time at the door. There is the sound of guests adding food.

"Shopkeeper, is there still room in your building?" Xia Shengqing asked, holding Xia Zijin by the hand. The two looked like a young couple.

"Oh, it's such a coincidence for you to come here. You just left a table of guests before you entered the door. Now my son happens to be vacating a private room upstairs. Do you want to be seated?" the shopkeeper put his hands in his sleeves and asked.

Xia Shengqing nodded, supported Xia Zijin, and followed the shopkeeper's footsteps up the stairs, followed by Xiao Huanzi and others.The temperament and appearance of the two are both good, so that the diners in the restaurant can't help but look at them a few more times, discussing and praising them with the people around them.

As soon as Xia Zijin and the others climbed the stairs, three or five young men with strong physique entered the front and back of the Yunxuan Pavilion. The head of one had slightly curly hair, a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, and a pair of blue eyes were particularly eye-catching. .

"Shopkeeper, let me...my young master open an upstairs wing room." The leader said humanely, the exotic handsome man made all the female guests in the building excited, whoever it was.

The shopkeeper bowed apologetically, "I'm really sorry for the guests, the shop is full..."

Rong Yu reached out and pulled out an ingot of gold from his sleeve pocket, which fell into the palm of the shopkeeper, and said again, "What about now?"

The shopkeeper looked at the heavy gold in his hand, showed embarrassment, and said falteringly: "This... this money villain also wants to make money, but there is indeed no room, and a young couple just booked to leave. A private room, this... villain can't drive the guests away!"

Rong Yu frowned, these two people walked arm in arm in a grand manner before they got married, what a shame!
The guard behind him lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "My lord, we can't go up now since the seats are full, why don't we go back! Why do you follow a married woman all the way, even though the villain just saw that the woman looks like It's very impressive, but after all, it belongs to someone else's family, this...you don't lack women!"

The guard didn't recognize Xia Zijin, but obeyed Rongyu's order and covered him with Xia Zijin's carriage with a few others, thinking that Rongyu had taken a fancy to Xia Zijin and wanted to win her love, so he couldn't help persuading him.

"You know what? When did this son say he liked that woman?" Rong Yu raised his eyebrows, waved his hands impatiently, and walked upstairs.

"Hey! Guest officer! There is really no private room upstairs, the little one didn't lie to you!" The shopkeeper shouted shaking his sleeves downstairs, and several other guards quickly followed Rong Yu upstairs.

Rong Yu looked around and walked in the corridor on the second floor. A dozen steps forward, through the half-opened lattice window, he saw Xia Zijin and his party sitting in the private room talking and laughing.

He rolled his eyes, raised his legs and pushed the door to a private room next to them. A few diners inside were enjoying their meals, and they also froze when they saw a man with an extraordinary appearance rushing in rashly.

"Who are you...?" asked a diner inside.

Rong Yu didn't bother to explain so much, he took out two ingots of gold and pressed them on the table, and said impatiently, "I want this private room, so go to another place."

Only a fool would refuse the sale of real gold and silver, and besides, they were already half full, nodding and accepting the two heavy ingots of gold, and then left under the urging of Rong Yu's guards.

"Go, let the shopkeeper tidy up here, and bring good wine and good food." Rong Yu sat down on the seat, crossed Erlang's legs and said lazily.

The sound insulation effect of the wing rooms of the restaurant is not very good. If the sound is too loud, it will be clearly transmitted to the next door through the door.

Xia Zijin, who was chewing and tasting with a piece of lotus root cake between his ears, heard the faint movement from the private room next door, and exchanged a glance with Xia Shengqing, knowing it clearly.That unruly voice is undoubtedly Rong Yu, it seems that she guessed right, the person following them is Rong Wang Shizi.

Although she didn't understand why Rong Yu followed her and Xia Shengqing, since he came to his door on his own initiative, it would be a pity if she didn't make good use of Rong Yu.

There was a sly look in Xia Zijin's eyes, and an idea came to his mind. He put down the bamboo chopsticks and gestured to Xiaokui beside him, motioning for her to come close to her ear. Xiaokui leaned close to Xia Zijin's lips and listened to her whispering for a while. Xia Zijin was a little puzzled by the explanation in his ear, but he nodded and followed suit.

Rong Yu next door had already ordered someone to move a comfortable soft chair to sit on, Xiao Er Ma quickly cleaned up the remnants of the diners at the previous table, and served hot and fresh dishes one after another, full of fragrance room.

The guard waited on Bu Cai, and filled the small blue and white porcelain cup in front of Rong Yu with the golden yellow osmanthus wine. He raised his head and poured it into his mouth. The mellow aroma of the wine slowly entered his throat.

Rong Yu pouted a few times, and was quite satisfied with the taste, but he heard the conversation in the private room next door to his ears through the thin door.

"Princess, you should eat more of this duck blood soup that nourishes qi and nourishes blood. I have stayed in such a damp and cold place like the dungeon for so long in the past few months, and my body is always bad when I get cold. You have to pay attention to slowing down. Make it up."

Rong Yu gulped down the wine with a sip in his mouth, wondering, Xia Zijin had been in the sky prison?After all, she is also a princess. Hearing that the Holy Emperor is also very fond of her, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She stretched her head close to the door and pricked up her ears.

"My princess is not in the way, but it's just an accident. Be careful in the future and try to avoid such innocent disasters."

"The princess is too much for the fourth princess. She was so arrogant and indulgent by the concubine Yue. When you were wronged in the sky prison, she, as a sister, even went to the prison to make the jailer refuse to bring you food. If it weren't for the princess, you I don't want to cause more trouble, so I would tell the emperor to punish the four princesses!"

Rong Yu put down his wine glass, propped his head up and thought for a while, the fourth princess... Isn't that the princess whom his father told him to pay more attention to after entering the palace a few days ago?It is said that she has the highest status among the princesses who have not left the pavilion. Her mother is a noble concubine who raised the eldest son of the emperor. She herself is also loved by Ming Shengdi.

Now the son heard the complaints from the maid next door to Xia Zijin, the fourth princess seemed to be domineering, Rong Yu couldn't help frowning.

King Rong brought his son Rongyu to Beijing this time. First, he discussed with Ming Shengdi about strengthening the defense and trade in the Western Regions, and second, he selected his son and concubine for Rongyu.

Ming Shengdi had a tacit understanding with King Rong early in the morning. In the early years, when Rongyu was still a minor, Xia Ziyan, the seventh princess, was appointed as his fiancée for Rongyu. Obscurity.

Rong Yu is very popular now, Ming Shengdi has long intended to choose another princess, and looking at the entire Dalai royal family, the status and status of Rong Yu are the most suitable for the fourth princess Xia Ziqi, so Rong Wang asked Rong Yu to pay more attention to this imperial daughter , to see if she is a virtuous and elegant daughter, after all, a concubine has a great responsibility and should be cautious.

Regarding his concubine, Rong Yu didn't dare to be sloppy. He made a silent gesture to the guards, stood up and approached the window, put his hands on his shoulders and listened to the voice next door, not wanting to let go of a word .
