Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 19

"Why is this? What's the mystery?" Liu Anqi asked curiously.

"Brother, you don't need to ask any more questions, just do what you want. This princess is from the same line as the Liu family, so how can I let my family do business at a loss?" Xia Zijin blinked playfully and said.

Liu Anqi nodded half-understood, he naturally believed Xia Zijin's words.

"Princess, there is a letter from Jiangnan!"

Xia Zijin was talking with the brothers of the Liu family when Xiao Huanzi's voice came in from outside the door. He was holding a light yellow envelope on his mobile phone, and the words "Princess Yu" were written in bright ink on the vermilion frame.

"It's Shengqing's letter?" Xia Zijin took the envelope with a faint smile on his face.

Xiao Huanzi nodded, and said, "It's still warm. I just got it from the messenger."

Xia Zijin opened the tightly sealed envelope, carefully pulled out the paper, and lightly shook it against the candlelight, and the fragrance of ink was faintly released.

Facing the warm candlelight, she carefully read the contents of the letter, and saw that the handwriting on it was strong and powerful, and it was as full as four or five pages, and the heart of the person who wrote the letter could be seen in the strokes of the pen.

She read it line by line carefully, following what Xia Shengqing wrote in the letter, to feel all the conditions in Jiangnan.

It was written in the letter that Xia Shengqing had just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had already seen the decline of the south of the Yangtze River. The rain in the sky did not stop, and it continued to pour down rain for three days and three nights. Seeing all the people wearing bamboo hats running around in the heavy rain, they were so cold that they sneezed when they came back.

The letter also said that Xia Shengqing used her method to rebuild the dam, and soon completed more than half of it, and found out that Lin Runyu used this kind of goods before, killing so many people in vain.

The letter also said that she should take care of herself, remember to drink her daily tonic, it is cold in autumn, and don't drink alcohol alone at night to hurt her body.

The more Xia Zijin read, the more expressions on her face became more, and the corners of her lips kept rising.

Seeing that Xia Zijin was reading the letter seriously, Liu Anli couldn't help but joked, "My cousin was charmed by a letter!"

Xia Zijin carefully folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, the gloom of being unable to leave the palace for several days seemed to be healed by this letter.

"Cousin, is Eunuch Xia okay in Jiangnan?" Liu Anqi asked, he was more concerned about the situation on the other side of Jiangnan, after all, it was related to the lives of Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing.

"Cousin An Qi, don't worry, Shengqing is not weak, plus he has a plan, the current situation in Jiangnan is still progressing steadily."

Liu Anqi nodded, and felt a little relieved.

"But cousin, you and that father-in-law Xia..." Liu Anli asked while biting a lotus root slice, blinking his eyes. As soon as he said that, Liu Anqi stepped on his foot under the table, which hurt so much He yelped.

"Brother! Why are you stepping on me!" Liu Anli glared at him and muttered.

"It's your meal, how can a handsome man be so talkative?" Liu Anqi lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice, and said calmly.

"How can I be wordy! Our family members speak our own words, princess cousin, it's not that An Li is talkative, it's just that Eunuch Xia and his cousin still have a marriage contract, if the flood control returns this time, is it possible that my cousin really wants to marry him? ?”

Liu Anli always talked about things and couldn't hide what was in his heart, while Liu Anqi was more reticent. Now that his son talked about this topic, the two of them remained silent, waiting for Xia Zijin's reply.

Xia Zijin smiled, knowing that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand what she thinks in her heart. If she hadn't died once, she might not have seen through this secular world, and she would think that marrying a eunuch is absurd.

"Why not?"

She smiled calmly, but Liu Anqi was a little anxious, sat up straight, and said: "But he... he is not a normal man after all, cousin, have you thought it through?"

"That's right, cousin, no matter how good Eunuch Xia is, he is still a father-in-law. If you marry him, then you will not be able to have children in this life, and you will not be able to enjoy the treatment that a normal woman should have!"

"Why didn't the princess realize that the two of you have such a tacit understanding before?" The two brothers persuaded each other, and Xia Zijin couldn't help laughing out loud.

"This princess is the princess of Dalai. Even if I have been looked at strangely for a few years, so what can I do? After all, I can live a comfortable life. It is even easier to have no children. At worst, one of you will get married and give birth to a child. Just give this princess one, and this princess will definitely raise him up for nothing."

As Xia Zijin said, the two brothers were in the same place. They stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. If Liu Xiangqing was there, they would be even more worried and shaking their beards.

Xia Zijin caressed the envelope on her lap, with a faint smile on her face, she thought it was good, the Liu family didn't understand her now, but they would eventually understand in the future.

I don't know if it's because of the colder weather, Xia Zijin always feels that the days go by like flying past, and it's a new day when the calendar is turned off.

It has been almost two months since Xia Shengqing went to Jiangnan. She had nothing to do in the palace, so she wrote back to Xia Shengqing. In the letter, the two talked about the details of water control and the follow-up methods. Although she was in the palace, she also felt that General experience in person.

"Princess, is Director Xia doing well in Jiangnan?" Xiaokui asked casually while combing Xia Zijin's hair.

"The situation on the south side of the Yangtze River has stabilized. After the dam was built, the flood has been greatly reduced. In addition, the cypress tree roots on the man-made field are surprisingly effective at absorbing water. Now the disaster has been controlled to a certain extent." Xia Zi Jin Road.

Although Xia Shengqing's letter only focused on the completion of the matter and did not mention the difficult process, she could understand how difficult it is to maintain and rebuild step by step from a disaster area that is almost a hell on earth.

"Great! Director Xia is really capable. If this continues, he will be able to return to Beijing within a month!" Xiaokui was also very happy when she heard that, and her tone became lively.

As she inserted the pair of green stone and agate hairpins on Xia Zijin's combed hair, she muttered: "It was the prince Lin who caused the princess. If it wasn't for his incompetence, he would have pushed the responsibility clean. Now the princess Manager Xia doesn't have to worry about the disaster every day!"

Xia Zijin glanced at Xiao Kui in the mirror, and said with a smile: "The last time in the carriage, who told me that Lin Shizi is the best, a good-looking talent and young and promising?"

Xiaokui naturally remembered that she said it, and said in a low voice with a blushing face: "Then... wasn't Xiaokui also deceived by appearances at that time, and now she sees the truth, let alone Mr. Xia, even Xiao Huanzi A hundred times better than Shizi Lin of Shi Laozi!"

Just after Xiaokui finished this sentence, she saw Xiao Huanzi's face in the mirror. She was so frightened that her hands trembled that she almost tore off one of Xia Zijin's hairs.

"How silent you are when you walk, it's scary!"

Xiao Huanzi scratched his head, and when he heard Xiaokui's last compliment, his face turned red.

"You...why are you blushing!" Xiao Kui glanced at him and said disgustedly.

Xia Zijin watched the two enemies who were bickering every day get into trouble again, and shook his head amusedly.

"Little Huanzi, do you have a letter today?" Xia Zijin helped the hairpin on her bun, feeling that it was too plain, and put a piece of flower tin on the center of her eyebrows. The faint peach red was imprinted on the center of her eyebrows, which contrasted with her porcelain white face. The skin is like a meal of red plums blooming in the snow.

Xiao Huanzi shook his head, also wondering: "I don't know if it was delayed on the way, Mr. Xia's letters are there every day, but now it has been three days since I haven't received them."

Xia Zijin paused for a moment with Huatian's hand, and also frowned slightly, a trace of inexplicable uneasiness flashed in his heart.

"The slave will go to the messenger officer tomorrow to have a look, princess, don't worry. Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Shangjing, and delays of two or three days are common."

Xia Zijin nodded, and didn't think about it, she stretched out her hand and let Xiaokui put on a cloak of brocade flowers for her, and handed the reply letter written in the drawer to Xiao Huanzi, saying: "Let's send this letter first. "

Xiao Huanzi went down in response, Xia Zijin gathered the cloak on his shoulders, and opened the window of the house with a long mahogany stick, and the sound of birdsong and the busy footsteps of the palace people came in clearly.

"Princess, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, so you want to order the small kitchen to bring it?"

Xia Zijin shook his head, for some reason, he lost his appetite after not seeing the letter for a few days.

"Xiao Kui, the morning court has just come down, and the guards at the palace gate are relatively lax. You go and prepare two sets of clothes for the servants. We will leave the palace and go to the Liu Mansion later."

Xiaokui nodded and went to do it. Xia Zijin leaned against the window, but began to think about the next plan in her heart.

The matter of the flood should have almost come to an end, now we only need to wait for Xia Shengqing to return to the palace, and then it can be resolved satisfactorily.

But this time, she was almost killed by Lin Runyu. If he hadn't pushed all the faults onto his own plan, why would she have been forced to die by the Jiangnan faction, and how could Xia Shengqing have made three promises? The oath of the month?

He killed her in the last life, and she will never be weak again in the next life. Lin Runyu's cancer, even if he can't get rid of him now, will definitely make him shed a few layers of skin.

Xia Zijin took out Xia Shengqing's first letter from the drawer, which mentioned the materials Lin Runyu used to build the dam. Of course it would be inappropriate for her to come forward, but if Liu Xiangqing pretended to be unintentional It is different if the ministers of other parties in the court know about it.

Now the faction of the eldest son of the emperor and the prince is indistinguishable from each other, and with the fact that the eldest son of the emperor gets involved from time to time, the three factions have long regarded each other as thorns in the flesh.Liu Xiangqing has always maintained a neutral attitude, and things that come out of his mouth will not arouse suspicion.

As long as Lin Runyu privately embezzled disaster relief money to buy inferior building materials, she didn't need to worry about it, and the members of the Emperor's eldest son party and the emperor's eldest grandson party would naturally seize this opportunity to give Lin Runyu a good look!

Xia Zijin raised the corners of her mouth, folded the letter and put it in her sleeve pocket, looked out at the clear blue sky, and smiled softly.

Take it easy.
