Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 121 Thoughtful
The princesses screamed one by one, and even wanted to yell for the palace servants to go into the water to save them, but what they didn't expect was that Rong Yu didn't fall into the water after jumping into the lake. Like a flying crane touching the ground, he stepped on the water with his toes on the lake, and with a swing of the bamboo wormwood in his hand, he stretched out into the lake.

It was only a moment of dazed effort, before the princesses realized that Rong Yu had crossed the lake surface by stepping on the water lightly. He manipulated the bamboo wormwood to detect objects in the water with extremely fast movements, and then used his legs to move upwards. After another roundabout flight, he stepped over the railing and landed steadily.

Except for the slightly wet water on the underside of the hem and the toe of the shoes, there is no difference.

Everyone was shocked, only to see that Rong Yu took off the veil that was tied to the top of the Bamboo Artemisia a moment ago, drained the lake water with his fists, and opened his fist again, but saw the handkerchief hanging down to both sides of his open hand, revealing a glistening Shiny cat's eyes and Biying hairpin.

"This……!"

Xia Ziyan was surprised and delighted, seeing Rong Yu's hand in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

"Don't you take the Seventh Princess back? This son's hands are sore." Rong Yu raised his lips and smiled, and gently put the hairpin into Xia Ziyan's hand in Xia Ziyan's stupefaction.

And the handkerchief that Fang borrowed from Xia Zijin was quietly stuffed into the sleeve pocket by Rong Yu without anyone noticing.

"My son's lightness kung fu is amazing, the surface of Lingbo Lake is like flat ground!" The eighth princess clapped her hands and praised.

"I used to think that riding a hundred feet of waves was nothing more than a illusory legend, but seeing the prince's posture today, I realized that this kind of ability is not groundless!" The tenth princess tilted her head and stroked her lips.

Rong Yu smiled, and only took the clean soft cloth handed over by the palace man next to him to dry off the water stains on his hands. His big, well-articulated hands relaxed with his movements. His innate nobleness made his movements very elegant, inexplicable Some people stare at.

"Seventh princess, don't worry, the things are already there. It doesn't matter if things like hairpins get in the water. Let the palace staff wipe them carefully with a silver cloth dipped in acenaphthene oil, and they will be as bright as ever. As for the queen mother, explain The reason is, is it possible that her old man will embarrass you?" Rong Yu looked at Xia Ziyan and said.

Such thoughtful words made Xia Ziyan blush suddenly, she timidly raised her head to meet those shining pupils, nodded and smiled lightly, a sweet feeling spread in her heart, is from Unprecedented pleasure and throbbing.

Seeing Rong Yu's considerate care for Xia Ziyan, Xia Ziqi felt unspeakably flustered in her heart. She threw the hairpin into the water, and Rong Yu picked it up for Xia Ziyan. Didn't it just create an opportunity for Xia Ziyan?

Really angry!

"Fourth Sister, won't you apologize to Seventh Sister?" Eighth Princess asked at the right time, and everyone including Rong Yu looked at Xia Ziqi, who was still looking annoyed.

She is not a person who is willing to give in, and she does not want to be humiliated in front of Rong Yu. She felt embarrassed for a while, pinched her cuffs and stomped, then turned and left.

Xia Zijin looked up at Xia Ziqi, who also had such a shy side, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.

Her eyebrows were picturesque, and the corners of her lips were curved, but she didn't know that Rong Yu had seen her own appearance at this moment.

There was no wind at night, and because summer was about to enter, there was a lot of heat for no reason. Xia Zijin just came out of the wasteland behind the East Hall. There was a small lake there, and there were plovers growing in the lake every early summer. Swimming in groups, this kind of fish is very spiritual. It likes to hide at the bottom of the lake during the day without showing its head, and only swims to the surface of the lake at night to flop.

Raven fish is extremely delicious and has the effect of nourishing the skin and nourishing Qi. Women love to eat it.And Xiaokui discovered the ravens in the wasteland lake behind the East Hall by accident. After a few days, no one knew about them. Xia Zijin took Xiaokui and a few palace people to catch a few. The body of the blue-and-black porpoise is very round and round, one is as long as a woman's forearm, twisting and turning in the wooden barrel filled with clear water, gurgling and spitting bubbles.

"Princess, let's stew one end tonight! You eat so little for dinner, it's okay to add a night's food, and the fish soup is light and nourishing, and it's the best to fall asleep after drinking a bowl!" Xiaokui said vividly, Walking behind Xia Zijin, she couldn't help but tilt her head to look at the fat fish wagging its tail and bubbling in the wooden barrel carried by the palace man.

Xia Zijin looked at the corner of her grinning mouth, smiled and said: "You girl, you are obviously greedy, but you want to drag it on me. If the princess says that you don't plan to use night food tonight, do you want to use the bedding?" Also moved into the small kitchen together, looking forward to these few fish falling asleep, waiting to be steamed and stewed tomorrow morning?"

Xiaokui stuck out her tongue and said, "Slaves dare not!"

Several palace people also laughed, walking on the palace road, from time to time there was the cry of the first cicada.

Walking through the connecting gate between the east and west halls, and then going to the right is the way back to Mosheng Garden. While walking, Xia Zijin was thinking about the Huashi Banquet at the end of April mentioned by the Queen at the Fengzao Lake in Yikun Palace during the day. .

This Huashi Banquet is a famous annual feast in Beijing, and most of the participants are young men and women with status in Beijing.It is not uncommon for men and women to gather together for a banquet in Dalai Dynasty. The Huashi Banquet uses flowers, drinking tea, reciting poems and painting as a medium. At the end of April every year, noble ladies and princes in Shangjing will be invited to Xuanzhu Garden in the city. Chinese dinner.

Although it is in the name of appreciating flowers, drinking tea, reciting poems and painting, but I don't know when, noble ladies and gentlemen have already regarded this Huashi banquet as a meeting to choose the ones they like, and they performed outstandingly at the banquet. Women can often become the objects of love and admiration of the princes in the next few months, and the outstanding princes will also win the hearts of ladies and daughters.

The owner of Xuanzhuyuan has some connections with the royal family. Every year, princesses and princes of the appropriate age in the Huashi Banquet Palace are also invited. Last year, because the owner of Xuanzhuyuan had a funeral at home, it was closed for a year. This year, the banquet was reopened. The queen even personally mentioned to the princesses that they should prepare well.

Xia Zijin didn't pay much attention to this kind of meeting, but thought that the two brothers of the Liu family were now at the right age to marry a wife, and Mrs. Liu also mentioned to her twice that she should pay more attention to whether there is a suitable lady of the right family.

This Huashi Banquet is a good opportunity. Apart from the noble daughters of the royal family, the ladies who can participate in the banquet are all daughters of scholarly families or daughters of courtiers before the rank examination. It is very appropriate to use this to expand the relationship network of the Liu family one step further.

A group of people were walking, Xia Zijin was immersed in her thoughts, she didn't notice in front of her, and saw a tall and straight figure turning out from under the vermilion riveted door, and the hem of the complicated patterned clothes embroidered with gold thread fell into Xia Zijin's drooping In her eyes, when she looked up, she saw Rong Yu with an evil face.

"Princess Mingsheng, what a coincidence, I met you again."

Xia Zijin smiled and said, "Shouldn't Prince Rong's son be leaving the palace now? Although you are Seventh Sister's fiancé, but after all, you are an outsider. It's better not to stay in this deep palace. "

Rong Yu raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He looked at the group of palace people behind her who were carrying fish in wooden barrels, but they didn't know what they were doing.

"Could it be that Princess Mingzhu went to catch fish at night?"

Xia Zijin thought that he was going to laugh at her for being rude and losing her status as a princess, so she didn't want to argue, so she said happily, "So what? Food is the most important thing for people. This princess is in a good mood. I will go for a stroll after dinner and return some umami flavors." Why not."

Rong Yu laughed, he had never seen such a woman before, she was so cold last time, this time she had a childish gluttonous nature, the only thing that remained the same was her eloquent teeth and her mouth.

"Forget it, this son just had dinner with the Seventh Princess and Concubine Lian in Yuehua Palace, and now my son is a bit confused when he comes out. Didn't Princess Mingzhu remind this son not to stay in the inner palace for too long? That being the case, how about I trouble Princess Mingzhu to lead the way for this son so that he can leave the palace as soon as possible?"

Rong Yu lowered his head slightly. He was quite tall, with three-dimensional facial features. Looking up from Xia Zijin's angle, he looked wild and beautiful.

She laughed, turned her head and said, "Hui'er, lead the way for Prince Rong's son."

"Yes."

Huier bowed her knees and walked.

"Hold on."

Rong Yu raised his hand to stop Hui'er from going forward, looked at Xia Zijin's deep and clear eyes with a smile on his lips, and said, "What this prince said is that Princess Mingzhu should lead this prince himself."

Xiaokui couldn't see Rong Yu acting like a frivolous man who was pulling [-] yuan. In the Valley of Lovers, he saw him humiliate his master several times. He is really not a good person!
"Master, you are so tall, how can you say that you haven't become the Seventh Son-in-law yet, and you need our princess to condescend to lead you the way?" Xiao Kui snorted, protecting Xia Zijin behind her.

Rong Yu laughed, could it be that he looks so annoying?Every time he was in other places, he was a presence that made women's faces look peachy. How come he was avoided by Xia Zijin here, and even the little maid beside her was so aggressive.

"This son just wants to take an opportunity to clear up the past with Princess Mingzhu, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding and suspicion of offending people in the Valley of Lovers. Could it be that Princess Mingzhu is not even willing to give this son this opportunity?"

"My son is serious. There is no serious misunderstanding between you and me. Soon my son will become the husband-in-law of Seventh Sister. At this time, the princess will also call you brother-in-law. Why are there any quarrels?"

Xia Zijin always had a faint expression, which made Rong Yu a little annoyed. He only heard Xia Zijin say: "If there is nothing else, this princess will go ahead. If the son can't find the way out of the palace, go forward 300 meters." The Qiluoyuan is on the right turn of the meter, and the fourth sister must be happy to lead the way for the son herself."

Seeing Xia Zijin's sly smile, Rong Yu stepped forward to leave, followed up with a hey, and said persistently, "Princess Mingzhu is leaving soon? At least this son is so sincere and wants to settle down with you." , why are you so ungrateful."
