Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 178 What kind of Xia Shengqing are you?

Xia Zijin's tail often has a sense of bleakness. Xia Zijin is leaning on the small chair under the corridor of Liluo Palace with her arms folded. A gentle breeze blows through her hair, causing Xia Zijin's skirt to flutter.

She remembered that when she entered the palace for the first time, it was also such a sunny day.When she was living in the Yiqing Building, she had never seen such a luxurious and solemn place as the imperial palace. She took care of every step of the way and paid attention to every step of the way. As a result, she married Lin Runyu, who was full of gold and fluff.It has been a year since she entered the palace in this life. At that time, she was a half-way princess who was looked down upon by everyone. Now she is already the most honored and favored Princess of Pearl.

The only thing that is the same as in her previous life is that she is still caught in the misty love affair. Is it Lin Runyu or Xia Shengqing, what is the difference?
Three thousand mortal roads, ten thousand zhang soft red silk, whether she, Xia Zijin, still can't escape the sway of fate, coming from the sea of ​​suffering, will fall into another sea of ​​suffering again.
As she was thinking sadly, Xiao Huanzi's figure walking in small steps in the corridor had already arrived in front of her.

"Princess, the servant has checked it." Xiao Huanzi whispered, his collar was wet with sweat and there were deep and shallow marks.

Xia Zijin came back to his senses, stood up quickly again, and passed the handkerchief to Xiao Huanzi.

"How did you check?"

Xiao Huanzi grabbed the handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from his forehead and chin, looked around, approached Xia Zijin and said in a low voice, "As the princess said, there is indeed a mansion in the western suburbs of Shangjing. It turned out to be a rich man's manor. Later, the rich man moved to Jiangnan and left it vacant. His Royal Highness purchased this house a few months ago, and made a lot of construction work to transform the manor, which was originally a bit of a late Tang style, into a magnificent house, and deliberately added many beautiful maids. Under the name of Manager Xia"

Xiao Huanzi's voice became softer and softer, while Xia Zijin's heart was heavy, and he didn't know what to say.

Yes, she did not wrong him.

Qin Guiren is telling the truth, Xia Shengqing has really voted for the prince.

Xia Zijin felt that all the strength had been pulled from her body, she fell down and sat on the bench, she pursed her lips and couldn't speak, her thin hands trembled a little while holding the wooden stake.

"Princess, are you okay?" Xiao Huanzi said worriedly, raising his hand to give him a hand, but because of his status, he didn't dare to touch Xia Zijin's wrist seriously, either advancing or retreating.

Xia Zijin shook his head, but his eyes seemed to have lost his soul. While trying to tell himself to calm down, his heart felt sore. Thinking of Xia Shengqing defecting to the prince and inheriting the manor where many beauties lived, his head was buzzing. , like putting a young heart on fire to bake, it hurts and pricks.

Seeing Xia Zijin's sad look, Xiao Huanzi hastily leaned down and said, "Princess, don't think too much, although the servant has found out that the prince indeed owns a house for Mr. Xia, but the house has not been seen until now. Only those beauties live here, Manager Xia has never been there once!"

"Think about Manager Xia and servants alike. Both are physically inconvenient. Even if the crown prince admires the beauty of Manager Xia's mansion, it's nothing but useless things. Kui can see it, you are not feeling well, just have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Xia, the two of you have been in love for a long time, won't you be happy if you talk about it?"

Xiao Huanzi said it very easily, but hearing Xia Zijin's ears is another matter, not to mention whether Xia Shengqing is willing to tell her the truth, even if he does, if Xia Shengqing insists on helping the prince win the throne, she will How to stop him?
Xia Shengqing could only be the chief executive if he worked for Ming Shengdi, but if he helped Xia Qin win the throne, then Xia Shengqing would be able to be appointed officials and nobles like in his previous life. Thousand-year-old king of the opposite sex.

Xia Zijin didn't dare to gamble, and was even more afraid of losing the bet.

She has already passed a life of failure, so is she going to repeat the same mistakes in this life?

Xia Zijin was constantly having mixed feelings in her heart, but she never said a word. Xiao Huanzi thought she was being too caring, and he sighed and wanted to get up and get a cloak for Xia Zijin, so as to save time. Sit down and feel cool.

Before Xiao Huanzi turned around and took three steps, he saw Xia Shengqing in the black crown and deep robe walking towards him from a distance. There was a slight courtesy on his face, and his lips were pursed into the usual arc, but he couldn't tell the truth. Happy and angry.

"Boss Xia, you are here!"

Xiao Huanzi was stunned for a while, then turned around and glanced at Xia Zijin habitually, and Xia Zijin's back also trembled obviously. After gathering his thoughts, he gradually straightened up, and looked at Xia Shengqing who was approaching from a distance.

"Why doesn't the princess seem to want to see me?" Xia Shengqing teased, raised her hand to caress Xia Zi's hair, and gently slipped it from the back of her head to her shoulder.

The intimacy between him and her is the same as before. It is probably because Xia Zijin has hidden thoughts in his heart, and he just feels that the taste has changed a bit. While smiling, he can't help but feel suspicious in his heart. When looking into Xia Shengqing's eyes, he let out a cry For unheard sighs.

"Have you been busy lately?"

It took Xia Zijin a long time to hold back this sentence, and he showed a half-annoyed, half-smiling expression.

Recently, Xia Shengqing was busy dealing with Xia Qin and Ming Shengdi. He was naturally busy. Speaking of which, it seemed that he hadn't spent a long time with Xia Zijin. Sour.

"Could the princess be annoyed that I don't have time to accompany you?" Xia Shengqing held her hand and stroked it gently, as if holding a treasure, interlacing her fingers and clasping them tightly.

He spoke softly, with a tender silk on his lips.

Xia Zijin looked at him, stared at him, and had some fluke thoughts in his heart, maybe he was just thinking wildly?Maybe Xia Shengqing's eyes are not fake, and his feelings for her are not fake, right?

She pursed her lips, and suddenly leaned gently into Xia Shengqing's arms somewhat proactively. The two of them missed each other by a head, and Xia Shengqing was able to completely wrap Xia Zijin in his arms, and kissed the tip of her hair, eyes full of tenderness.

"Shengqing, do you think we will move out when we get married in the future? Although there is wealth and splendor in the palace, there are more intrigues. Now that the emperor is getting older, there will be endless fights between the emperor's brothers in the future." It's not peaceful."

"If not, if not, I will now beg Father to let us get married as soon as possible. You resign as the manager, and I will no longer be a princess of the Pearl. The two of us will move to the south of the Yangtze River, do some business, and enjoy the mountains and rivers." That's fine, as long as we live with one heart and one mind, we can live happily, right?"

There is deep expectation in Xia Zijin's eyes, and what she describes is the biggest thought in her heart.

In the previous life, she lived her whole life in a muddle. In this life, she only seeks a sincere person. She doesn't care about any grievances or ambitions, and simply guards one person, that's all.
Accompanied by each other, the mountains and forests are like a couple of immortals.

Xia Shengqing expected the same. More than once, he wanted to get rid of the hatred of the country and the family, and the hot responsibility and identity.Being poor and staying with her all her life is probably the only thing in the world worth thinking about every day.

But he couldn't.

He couldn't leave this situation alone for his own sake, and he couldn't tell Yue Jing'an that he didn't want to continue the plan that he had planned for many years.

Many things were preordained from the very beginning. He was destined to shoulder the responsibility of recovering Jinlai, and he was also destined to protect Yue Jingan's power and hatred that originally belonged to Jinlai.

Love is a last resort, these four words seem so light, but they weigh a thousand pieces of gold when placed on him.

"Princess. Now is not the time." Under Xia Zijin's deep anticipation, Xia Shengqing still shook her head, and with his sigh, a little bit of coolness blew into Xia Zijin's heart.

"Why... do you like this palace so much? What good is there besides being rich and honored? Everyone wears a mask, harming one today and harming another tomorrow. It can't compare to being free and easy outside the palace. I am willing to give up the princess. You still have nostalgia for the status of a manager? Could it be that the conclusive words you told me before were all bluffs?"

Xia Zijin didn't understand why it was so difficult for her to ask for a mutual sympathy.

"Princess, listen to me." Xia Shengqing squatted down and held Xia Zijin's shoulders, with a nervous expression between her eyes, "I am naturally willing, but now the emperor entrusts me with many things, How could I suddenly pull away and leave without doing anything?"

She coldly knocked off his hand on his shoulder, and said: "But whoever does those things is different, as long as I tell my father, he may not refuse to let you go, will he?"

Xia Shengqing shook her head again, took a step forward, held her somewhat cold fingertips and pressed them against her cheeks to warm her, and softened her tone to persuade: "It's only been three or five years, and when the new emperor comes to the throne, I will To be able to completely unload the burden, I would have buried the emperor with him after his life was over, but now that I have a princess, as long as I serve you wholeheartedly, the emperor will promise to avoid the promise of being buried with her. You can sleep and fly together!"

In Xia Zijin's ears, Xia Zijin couldn't make any promises. Men are most likely to make promises without making promises. Even if Xia Shengqing is a eunuch, he is still a man, and such promises are still countless. .

Xia Zijin's heart was cold, and even the last bit of luck was gone. This Xia Shengqing in front of her was a stranger to her. I don't know when Xia Shengqing, who had always only had her in his eyes, began to become such a steady-going person.

Or is it that this is the real Xia Shengqing, and those in the past were just illusions?

She didn't want to think about it anymore, she answered him a few words indiscriminately and then remained silent, her eyes sank like a pool of stagnant water.

Xia Shengqing thought that she was just annoyed that she couldn't get out as soon as possible, so she comforted the analysis with nice words, and after talking for a while, she raised three fingers and swore that she and Xia Zijin would get out of this golden and jade prison of right and wrong in the future, but he didn't realize that, in Xia Zijin After Jin's faint response, there was no joy in the past, but only endless disappointment and bewilderment.
