Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 131 Provocation
Xia Ziqi's expression was slightly mocking, and what she had done in the past made Xia Ziyan unable to believe that she had any kind intentions.

"Fourth Sister, don't worry. I'm doing well now, and I don't think anyone will deceive me. If Fourth Sister really cares about me, then stop secretly embarrassing my sister."

"You...!" Xia Ziqi patted the table. Unexpectedly, this bitch is quite vengeful, but it doesn't matter, her purpose is not to argue with her.

"This princess is here to tell you because you are pitiful. You don't know what is good or bad. Do you really think you are doing well now? You have climbed up the honor and will be the imperial concubine, so you are happy in your heart, and you think you can sit back and relax, don't you?" ?”

When she mentioned Rongyu, Xia Ziyan even doubted the purpose of her trip.

Xia Ziyan didn't reply, he smiled and sat down at the table, stroked his forehead and said lightly: "Fourth sister, why don't you understand after so long, if you were the one who was appointed by the Jinluan Palace at that time, even if I I have a marriage contract with the eldest son, and I will not want to argue with you. But why does my sister have to embarrass me? If you are unhappy, you can ask your father to change the imperial edict, and my sister will not say a word. "

Xia Ziqi snorted, and dare not agree with this point of view, what she likes and who she likes, no one else can take it away.

With a sigh of relief from the roar, Xia Ziqi tried her best to restrain her urge to scold the idiot in front of her. She tried her best to maintain a kind expression and frowned.

"This princess does have a lot of thoughts for Prince Rong's son, that's why she hates her sister for taking the position that should belong to me. Later, I saw how kind your son was to you, and I envied you so much that I didn't act properly. I just had a few misunderstandings with Seventh Sister."

She summed up her deliberate bullying of Xia Ziyan as a misunderstanding. Xia Ziyan smiled and said nothing.

"But just now, this princess knew that she was tired of the wrong person." She rolled her eyes around, and then changed the topic, "This princess thought that Prince Rong's favorite seventh sister, so she took care of her in every possible way." , but what I accidentally discovered today really surprised this princess."

As she spoke, she deliberately stopped, put the tea in front of her under her nose and sniffed it, and felt that the smell was not bad, so she reluctantly swallowed it.

"It's... what's the matter?"

Xia Ziyan heard that there was something in her words, although he was guarding against her in his heart, he couldn't help pinching the handkerchief.

Xia Ziqi raised the corners of her lips, took a sip of the tea soup, raised her eyebrows slyly, approached her mysteriously, and said word by word: "This princess has discovered that there is someone else in the woman whom the son loves."

Sure enough, Xia Ziyan's expression was lost for a moment. She lowered her head and didn't know what to think. She thought about it carefully but didn't say anything.

"Aren't you curious about what kind of woman stole Shizi's heart?" Xia Ziqi said.

Not curious?

How is it possible, but Xia Ziyan also knows that it is a great honor for her to be able to get such a marriage. She is about to marry a man who makes all the women in Beijing admire, how lucky she is, and why bother to force this man to belong to her Woolen cloth.

"Fourth sister is kind and my younger sister loves me. I don't care whether the son has a favorite woman or not. Please go back."

When she said this, her hands clenched on the edge of the table really gave away her feelings. Xia Ziqi smiled, and said with her face propped up, "Do you not care or are you afraid to listen? You don't want to hear it, but I want to say it."

Xia Ziyan frowned, and got up to walk a few steps away to avoid her, but Xia Ziqi grabbed her by the shoulder with a playful look and a bit of revenge.

"Look at you, I can't listen anymore? Xia Ziyan, Xia Ziyan, you always look like a fool, no wonder Rongyu doesn't like you, you sit with Xia Zijin every time you attend, why? Didn't you learn a little bit of her ability to seduce men?"

Xia Ziyan froze for a moment, a little at a loss for the name that was suddenly mentioned.

Xia Zijin...Rong Yu...

How could these two have entanglements?

"Why, don't you believe this princess? You don't have to believe it, but don't blame this princess for not reminding you. Compared with Xia Zijin, your rank is simply not worth mentioning. As long as Xia Zijin ticks her fingers, she may be the king of Rong." In order to make her happy, the prince kicked you out and brought her up."

Xia Ziyan was still standing there shaking his head, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"You are talking nonsense..."

"Is this princess talking nonsense? You know it in your heart. In short, this princess has said it all. Whether you listen to it or not is up to you. Oh, your fiancé is not as pleasing to you as you are to him. In order to please Xia Zijin, a girl from a brothel, she rescued her and privately wanted to give her an exquisite jade bracelet. If this princess hadn't bumped into her today, I'm afraid she would have been kept in the dark as well."

She spoke like a bead, every word was bound to hit Xia Ziyan's heart, as if a kind of pleasure came from it, the more unhappy Xia Ziyan was, the happier she was.

Xia Ziyan pressed her lower lip tightly, those words were haunting her heart, but she kept reminding herself not to think about them.

"Seventh sister, you are also a serious princess. Although Concubine Chen died early, your status is not as good as this princess, but after all, you are much better than that girl Xia Zijin. You are so willing to let your future husband-in-law Are you all focused on her? Are you really not afraid that one day Xia Zijin will step on you?"

Every word is bewitching, every look is provocation.

Xia Ziqi smiled lowly, enjoying the pleasure of destroying her mind, and seeing Xia Ziyan's face became more serious, she exhaled freely and stood up.

"Okay, think about it for yourself. It's up to you whether to strike first so that Xia Zijin can no longer seduce the crown prince, or just sit and wait for her to climb to the top. You can do it yourself."

The sound of light footsteps gradually faded away, stirring up the sound of the wind.Xia Ziyan looked at her back as she walked away with her head up and smiling, and when she could no longer see her, the will that she had been holding on for all this time collapsed in an instant.

"Princess... are you okay?"

Looking at her pale lips, the palace man couldn't help worrying, and hurriedly handed him another cup of hot tea. The hot tea with swallow sugar was tangy, but Xia Ziyan couldn't drink it anyway.

For several days, Xia Ziyan was in a daze.She didn't know why she clearly knew that this matter was out of her hands, but she still felt a little conflicted in her heart, just like she knew that Rong Yu's heart was her fate for anyone, but she still couldn't help but yearn for his tender love, which belonged to her. .

"It's a dream or an illusion, greed in the world, and a lot of suffering."

She sighed softly, leaning on the rattan chair in the porch, burning the incense made of prajna fruit beside her, and the wisps of smoke lingered around the ends of her hair and around the tip of her nose. She calmed down.

The small goose-feather fan was shaking gently, and Xia Ziyan closed his eyes and recited the Bodhi Heart Sutra silently in his heart, wanting to devote himself to the Dharma and get rid of the suffering in his heart.

What she didn't know was that Rong Yu, who was dressed in a brown robe, stepped into the courtyard and watched her chanting with her eyes closed, with a bit of novelty and interest.

"I don't know that the Seventh Princess has such a good way to cultivate life and nature."

She opened her eyes suddenly, and seeing his lips full of smiles, she knew that she had been overlooked by him just now, she felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"When the eldest son comes, I don't know how to make a sound... It's really rude." She said in a condescending manner, and ordered the palace servants to serve him tea.

The tea on the table is the snow-topped green tea newly planted this spring. It is soaked in boiling hot mountain spring water, and the thin leaf buds will expand and flatten, dyeing the clear mountain spring into a clear color and giving it a rich aroma.

Rong Yu took a few sips of the tea and liked it very much.

"I came to see you when I have nothing to do. My mother asked my son to ask the seventh princess if there is anything else I need. You and I will get married in about [-] days. It is always good to have things in order." .”

He said so, but he didn't feel any joy. This marriage was what he had to want, but it was not what he wanted willingly.

Xia Ziyan smiled and shook her head, feeling a little sad, but after [-] days, no matter what happens in the palace, after [-] days, she will use a completely different identity to serve and accompany the man in front of her.

Probably remembering Xia Ziqi's words, she felt a little melancholy, opened her mouth as she watched Rongyu concentrate on drinking tea, and after deliberating her words, she tentatively said, "Shizi, you...are familiar with sister Zijin network or not?"

Rong Yu paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at her and said, "What does Seventh Princess ask this for?"

"It's nothing... just asking casually. Thinking of my younger sister Zijin who often helps me, she is beautiful and kind-hearted. If the prince is familiar with her, he will probably like her very much..."

As Xia Ziyan spoke, he watched Rong Yu's reaction carefully.

Rong Yu was silent for a while and put down his teacup. He didn't know whether it was a sudden idea or he had thought about this question for a long time. He rubbed his chin and looked at Xia Ziyan, and asked, "The seventh princess and Princess Mingzhu should have a good relationship. If... In the future, the two of you can get closer, would you like to?"

Xia Ziyan's heart tightened, and he couldn't believe his conjecture. Rongyu asked her like this, could it be possible that she and sister Xia Zijin were already interested in serving husbands...

"I don't quite understand what the prince is talking about." She tried her best to maintain a smile on her face, but her heart was already beating wildly.

Rong Yu probably didn't really think it through, seeing that Xia Ziyan didn't understand, he shook his head and gave up, drank the cold tea in the cup, patted his knees and got up.

"My son is leaving first, the seventh princess should have a good rest, I will come to see you when I have time."

From his broad back to his slender and powerful legs, he seemed to be a work of art touched by the heavens, and his every step carried an inherent nobility.

"My lord, wait a minute..."

After all, Xia Ziyan couldn't hold back, she looked at Rong Yu's puzzled expression, suppressed the trembling of her fingertips, and smiled.
