Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 177 Check Xia Shengqing
Ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Xia Zijin could no longer lie to herself about everything about Xia Shengqing. Qin Guiren's words kept replaying in her head that day, even though she kept telling herself not to think about it, but the more so, the more Can't forget.

Xia Zijin didn't know the taste of the solar eclipse, after thinking for a long time, she finally called Xiao Huanzi to her, and she purposely screened Xiao Kui away, the girl was blah, it's better not to let her know when things are not completely clear.

"The princess asked the slave to come here on purpose. What is the order for the slave?" Xiao Huanzi asked.

He has also noticed Xia Zijin's abnormality these days, but he doesn't want to ask more about the master's affairs. Seeing Xia Zijin frowning, he doesn't know how to do his part for her, so Xia Zijin called him alone. This made Xiao Huanzi very happy.

Xia Zi huddled on the soft chair, wrapped in a thin blanket, with a sleepy look on his temples.She stared at the smoky incense sticks on the table, took a breath and sighed softly.

"It's not a big deal. There is something that has been bothering me recently. Hui'er before, and all kinds of strange things after that, I have no choice but to be suspicious. This princess wants you to check Shengqing."

"Boss Cha Xia?" Xiao Huanzi raised his head, as if he didn't understand why, no one knew that Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing were in love like an ocean, and this sudden order made Xiao Huanzi a little confused.

"Why did the princess ask Manager Xia? He has always been sincere to you, is there some misunderstanding?"

Xia Zijin shook his head, refusing to say anything else, but the melancholy in his eyes betrayed his thoughts completely.

"Just check it out. There is a manor in the western suburbs of Shangjing. It is said that the crown prince is placed under his name. I don't know if it is true. Let me verify it for me." She rubbed her scalp, her tone weak.

Xiao Huanzi has always been loyal to her, and after so many years of working in the palace, he naturally understands what it means if Xia Shengqing and the crown prince are really involved.

He was a little hesitant. After all, he didn't really believe that Xia Shengqing was that kind of person, but Xia Zijin was always sensible and never suspected others for no reason. Thinking of this, Xiao Huanzi's heart became complicated, so he nodded and went ahead. Go check it out.

Xia Zijin asked him to step back, holding the quilt on his body slightly tired.

And Xiao Huanzi got up and walked to the door, hesitating to speak again, Xia Zijin's brows and eyes lightly closed under the white smoke from the incense sticks, and the thick black eyelashes were reflected on the smooth skin under the shadow of the lamp.

"Princess, why don't you ask Director Xia?"

He asked, afraid that he would overstep, and quickly lowered his head.

The trembling eyelashes opened, and the dim yellow shadow of the lamp swayed, Xia Zijin pulled out an inaudible smile, and his clear eyes were in a trance.

"So what if I ask. I'm afraid I'll be deceived, in exchange for typhoid fever."

On this side, Xia Zijin started to investigate Xia Shengqing, while on the other side, Xia Shengqing was in trouble in front of Xia Qin.

As August is about to pass, Ming Shengdi intends to move back to Shangjing City at the beginning of September, and this move will take a lot of work, and after the ambush on the way to the Mercy Villa, Ming Shengdi seems to have become extraordinarily Being cautious, he didn't even announce the day when he would return to the palace in advance, but only told a few people close to him, for fear that the original accident would happen again.

Xia Shengqing was naturally included among the close people.

Yue Jing'an was very happy to see Ming Shengdi's trust in Xia Shengqing. Recently, she has not been recruited very often in Mercy Villa, but fortunately she doesn't care at all, and is more at ease.

At this time, Yue Jingan was in the underground darkroom of Xia Shengqing's residence, holding the newly released Ge Kiln's after-rain glaze with tea buds in one hand and placing it on the wooden table, and slowly pouring it into it with the other hand in the hot silver pot.As the hot water is poured into the glaze cup, the green buds submerged gradually soften in the cup, exuding a fresh and mellow breath.

"Come, drink a cup of Wushan Yulu made by your mother. When your father was alive, your father liked to taste all kinds of fragrant rock tea from your mother. I think it has been many years."

The heat was steaming upwards, Xia Shengqing took the teacup and held it in his hand, drinking silently without saying much.

"At that time, your father was still a prince, and your mother and sister were the most beauties in the Jinlai Kingdom. It happened that they both fell in love with your father at first sight. Later, he became a great treasure, and took my mother and sister into the palace. I don't know how many women are envious of the honor and favor."

Yue Jing'an talked to herself, poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it lightly, the warm tea soup flowed down her throat into her stomach, the aftertaste was lingering and bitter.

"Cheng'er, do you know why my mother wants you to recover Jinlai?"

Xia Shengqing raised her eyes, her thin lips moved, "To avenge my father."

Putting down the teacup with her still slender and fair hands, Yue Jingan nodded slightly and said, "Not only that, but also to regain the throne that Xia Zhong's dog thief took away! Sheng'er, you are the posthumous son of your father, you should You are a justifiable successor to the throne, and the road to the restoration of the country is long and difficult, and you are struggling between Xia Zhong and Xia Qin, so you must not be careless!"

She sighed earnestly, with burning expectations in her eyes.

Successor emperor?Xia Shengqing didn't think about it.

Rather than being an emperor, Xia Shengqing wants to live a stable life with Xia Zijin after the big event is completed, and go to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River surrounded by greenery to seek a leisurely life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

"Mother, the child wants to"

Before Xia Shengqing could say anything, there were several knocks on the door in front of the house.

"Is Manager Xia here? His Royal Highness is here to visit the Manager."

The words he just got to his lips were interrupted, Yue Jing'an quickly gave Xia Shengqing a look, got up and walked into the depths of the dark room by herself.

"Go quickly, remember to be careful in everything, so that you can deal with this prince."

Xia Shengqing nodded, calmed down and pressed the mechanism to walk out of the dark room. With the touch of her fingertips on the mechanism, the exit of the dark room was instantly hidden behind the bookshelves stretched out on both sides.

In just three or five sentences, Xia Shengqing invited Xia Tianqin into the room. Compared with the early autumn weather outside, the room was warmer.

"Why did His Royal Highness come here free today, this slave?" Xia Shengqing poured tea for him with a smile, and her tea-making technique seemed to be no less than Yue Jingan's.

"Haha, if the prince is not free, can't he come to the residence of Director Xia and sit down?" Xia Tian shook his wide sleeves, held up the teacup and swallowed it refreshedly, pinching the empty teacup with two fingers and turning it around Turning around, the long eyebrows slightly raised.

"However, the prince really has something to bother Mr. Xia today. I heard that my father plans to move back to the capital in the near future. This matter of relocation has fallen into the hands of a few veterans. I don't know what is going on in my father's heart What do you think?"

Xia Shengqing had already guessed Xia Qin's reason for coming, she moved the corners of her mouth and let out a slight smile: "His Royal Highness doesn't know, how much the emperor favors Qin nobleman today, Qin nobleman only mentioned to the emperor the day before yesterday that the journey back to Beijing is long, I'm afraid When some villains made trouble, the emperor followed the devil and seemed to think of those thugs again, and insisted on recruiting all the generals stationed in the territory to escort the team back to Beijing."

"Oh?"

Xia Tian Qin raised his eyebrows, with a strong smile in his eyes.

He originally thought that Qin Guiren was just a weak pawn. After all, Ming Shengdi was old and didn't care much about the affairs of men and women, but he underestimated Yue Jinglan's position in Ming Shengdi's heart. Qin Guiren was a substitute. It's just that they can be favored like this. If Yue Jinglan is not dead and gives birth to a prince, then it is unknown whether he will be able to take the position of prince.

"His Royal Highness also knows that as the emperor grows older, he becomes less courageous. If he can last for a few years, he will suffer from constant illness in three to five years. If His Royal Highness wants to have no worries, he should make long-term plans. What?" Xia Shengqing said, pressing down the clear tea soup with both hands, and using tweezers to put in a few pieces of new tea.

"The way of being a king is like the way of drinking tea. The most important thing is to pay attention to the heat. If the fire is too strong, it may backfire and spoil the good tea. If the fire is warm and slow, it will not be very effective. You will end up in an embarrassing position, Prince Your Highness is a smart person, so he naturally understands what the servant means."

The room was quiet, only the sound of tea pouring from the spout of the porcelain pot, Xia Tian Qin pursed his lips and nodded, rubbing the smooth wall of the cup with a faint touch in his eyes.

"The meaning of Director Xia is that the prince understands that the prince must get rid of the elder brother, but now is not the time, and the father still trusts him. If the prince acts rashly, if he bites back, he may cause trouble Now let's see if this nobleman Qin is useful, if he can take down that old woman Shui Yanran, wouldn't it be much easier for Xia Bin to fight alone!"

Xia Bin had calculated himself deeply in the matter of the mob's ambush, and he will not forget this revenge easily!

"What His Royal Highness said is very true. What kind of climate can a virtuous king rely on his adoptive mother to build relationships with? His Royal Highness, you are not as honorable as you. I can't think of ten years before the slave will change to call you master."

Xia Tianqin moved his thumb holding the teacup, looked up at Xia Shengqing's sincere eyes, and then burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, the prince is very happy to hear a word from Manager Xia!"

"It's the slave's honor."

His head was lowered, his straight back was slightly bent in salute, and the coldness in his eyes was hidden behind the mask.

Xia Tian is hard-headed and self-willed, while Xia Bin is more than greedy. What he has to do is to raise the flames of war between the two as high as possible.

And Yue Jing'an, who was hiding in the dark room, heard the conversation outside clearly, she lifted the corner of her mouth half mockingly half mockingly, sighing endlessly.Emperor Ming Sheng probably never imagined in his dreams that the two princes he was proud of would not wish for him to die for a day?
Yue Jing'an is very happy to see this, the more chaotic people in the Xia family, the happier she is, this is what Xia Chong owes her, and Xia Chong owes Jinlai as a whole.
