Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 210 Make Friends with Xia Zijin

Everyone in the palace knows that Xia Shengqing, as an eunuch, has a deep affection for her fiancée, Princess Mingzhu, and even chose to protect Mingzhu before Ming Shengdi when the royal family's summer resort was attacked. Princess, this also aroused Ming Shengdi's suspicion.

If the crown prince intentionally indulged General Huwei by disabling Liu Anqi's tendons and offending Xia Zijin, then it's not impossible that Xia Shengqing would be blamed by Xia Zijin for this, so that there would be a rift between him and the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Xia Qixuan's eyes darkened.

"I can't imagine that the majestic chief eunuch knows the love of Fengyue so well." He laughed, and a coquettish and pure face appeared in his head. I don't know how such a woman would want to marry an eunuch. , he never understood.

"Your Highness is right. Since Manager Xia has feelings for Princess Mingzhu, it is estimated that no matter how we try to curry favor, it will not be effective. He is not a chess piece that is easy to control, and if he is a little careless, he may even endanger himself."

"It's so troublesome... It's better to have a good relationship with Princess Mingzhu directly. Firstly, it can stabilize Xia Shengqing's attitude. Second, Princess Mingzhu is also a smart person, and she can be regarded as having some face in front of the emperor. It is beneficial for His Highness the eldest grandson to befriend her. And no harm!"

Everyone nodded one after another, hitting snakes seven inches, taking people to take advantage of weaknesses, as long as they have a good relationship with Xia Zijin, then how can Xia Shengqing not be able to make friends.

"It's just that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, lives in the palace together with friendship rather than courtship. Even if she is a princess and does not participate in imperial power disputes, she should understand the power of it. Rushing to court her is not appropriate." The elder said. Remind, a pair of small and narrow eyes full of light.

At this time, another counselor said: "In my opinion, His Highness the eldest grandson is a generation behind that Princess Mingzhu, so it will be more beneficial, even though His Highness is older than Princess Mingzhu, But if you are a junior, you will naturally not know how to be deliberate and pretentious when you make friends with many things."

After careful analysis, it is indeed so, Xia Qixuan nodded while grinding his chin, with a smile on his face, he decided to make good use of these two chess pieces, they will be of great use in time!

"It's so good, my grandson knows it well!"

He smiled, his eyes full of determination.

Naturally, the heated discussion in the emperor's grandson's mansion could not pass through the streets and palace walls, and Xia Zijin in the Mosheng garden naturally did not know about it.

At this moment, she is choosing from thousands of things in the warehouse of Mosheng Garden, and looking at the things in the room, she still feels that she can't choose one that she is satisfied with.

"Princess, we have been picking for a long time, but you have an idea!"

Xiaokui half-kneeled in front of Liandi's table, propped her chin with a pair of small hands, blinked her eyes and muttered.

"What are you in a hurry for, girl? Marriage between my cousin and Miss Yueer is a big deal, and this princess will naturally choose carefully."

Having said that, Xia Zijin continued to look at the gift racks one by one, and picked out a piece of East China Sea shark beads and Longgushan chalcedony, but felt that these two things were not enough with the gift money, so she looked down again. up.

Xia Zijin picks and chooses her own size, and doesn't let Xiaokui help. Xiaokui sees that she is busy here but she is lazy here, which is really inappropriate, so she wants to accompany Xia Zijin to relieve boredom, and chats openly stand up.

"Princess, have you heard about the emperor's verdict on General Huwei?" Xiaokui tilted her head and asked, "That old man has caused such misery to my cousin, so he should be punished."

While choosing those gifts, Xia Zijin listened to Xiaokui's babbling, and said with a chuckle, "You little girl has a bit of a temper, and the old man has indeed been punished."

"Father handed over the investigation of the treason case to the eldest son of the emperor, and General Huwei fell into the hands of the eldest son of the emperor. Even if there is a trial to make a comeback, it will be useless. It will definitely not end well."

"He was originally a member of the crown prince, and he has a real hostile relationship with the eldest son of the emperor. Even if he did not collude with the enemy and treason, the eldest son of the emperor would not mind putting him to death for treason."

Xiaokui nodded again and again, waved a pair of pink fists in the air twice and said viciously: "The eldest son of the emperor looks like a fat pig, and he is also a bit greasy and disgusting. Unexpectedly, he did a good job this time. If Huwei can be cured The crimes of the general and the sufferings of Young Master Biao are not in vain."

Xiaokui's description of the eldest son of the emperor in this way made Xia Zijin purse her lips and smile. It was a pleasure for the master and servant to chat and laugh in the warehouse.

At this time, I heard a court lady coming from outside, she raised her hand in front of the warehouse door and knocked on the wooden door, and after Xia Zijin turned to look over, she leaned down to report.

"Princess, there is a nobleman asking to see you outside!"

"Your Majesty?"

Xia Zijin put down the movements in his hands, straightened up, walked slowly to the little maid, and asked, "Who is this noble person?"

There were very few people coming to her Mosheng Garden, let alone noble people, but today it was a bit rare.

The little maid shook her head and said: "I don't know who he is, the nobleman dressed up with two attendants, but the servant seldom goes out of the Mosheng Garden, so I haven't seen this nobleman before, so I don't know who he is. Who."

It is troublesome to guess like this right now, and you will know after a while, Xia Zijin nodded and said: "You went back to the nobleman, and waited for my princess in the hall. Come."

The little lady-in-waiting agreed to go ahead and make arrangements after blessing her body, while Xia Zijin handed the two selected gifts to Xiao Kui, packed them up for a while, and then went all the way to the hall.

When Xia Zijin walked into the hall, the palace servants in the Mosheng Garden were pouring tea for the nobleman, and saw the nobleman holding a white jade porcelain cup, lifted the lid of the cup and gently brushed the floating water on the tea. At the end, he drank a little in one gulp and let out a light breath.

"Auntie, you're here. My nephew has been waiting for you here for a long time." The young man Yan Yan showed a gentle smile at Xia Zijin.

Xia Zijin almost choked on this sentence of aunt, she is only in her teens this year, how could she have such a big nephew.

"...Who are you?" Xia Zijin asked in embarrassment, seeing that the young man was only in his early twenties, and he seemed to have never seen him before.

The young man put down his teacup and laughed, then got up and shook the robe on the front, and he put his hands together in a dignified way, bowing to Xia Zijin and saying something.

"My nephew is the eldest grandson of Da Lai. It's just that I rarely step into the West Palace. Most of the time I stay outside the palace in my mansion. It's normal that my aunt has never seen me."

After he finished talking like this, Xia Zijin remembered, it seemed that there was such a grandson of the emperor, but he had never met her and never got close to her, but today he came to visit her for no reason, what was his intention?
Now that he has already opened his mouth to call him aunt, Xia Zijin is not polite anymore. He smiled at Xia Qixuan and sat down in the upper seat in a decent manner, and raised his hand to hold the table. He took a deep breath and sipped lightly.

"So it's the emperor's nephew. This princess has always disliked dealing with people in the palace, and I'm not very familiar with you. It's the first time I saw this junior, but I didn't recognize you. It made you laugh."

Xia Qixuan was a little surprised when he saw that she had put on airs, but the surprised look stayed on his face for a while and then melted away.

He smiled again and replied: "Auntie was joking, it's because my nephew didn't come to see you early, it's your tolerance if Auntie doesn't blame my nephew."

Xia Zijin adjusted the shawl on her knees, and couldn't help laughing at Xia Qixuan's words for a moment. She thought that she hadn't reached the point where Xia Qixuan could respect her so much. In terms of age, she was a few years younger than Xia Qixuan, and Xia Zijin felt a little uncomfortable with such a big nephew chatting in front of her.

"Okay, this princess is not joking with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson anymore. You and I are about the same age. If Your Highness sees this princess like an aunt, maybe he calls this princess old."

He didn't even dare to answer, and Xia Zijin didn't intend to continue joking with him, so he asked bluntly: "Today, His Royal Highness Changsun came to this princess's Mosheng Garden, probably not to discuss something with this princess, a little girl." Aunt and nephew, right?"

It is said that Princess Mingzhu is smart and good at observing people's hearts, and it is true.

Xia Qixuan smiled lightly and stopped making those polite remarks.

"What the princess said is that my nephew is here today for a marriage."

"A marriage?" Xia Zijin frowned, not understanding what Xia Qixuan meant by this.

I could only hear Xia Qixuan's gentle voice gradually coming into my ears again: "Speaking of it, this is a coincidence, the cause of this incident is unavoidably clichéd, it is my nephew's personal attendant, Ah Wei, who once lived in the street outside the palace. In order to bury the dead father at home, he knelt down in the street and made a paper. Whoever gave him the money for his father's burial, he would be willing to sell himself to that house as a slave. This is a dutiful son selling himself to bury his father. It’s a good story, but later it added a bit of love.”

Listening to Xia Qixuan's eloquent words, Xia Zijin became more and more interested. The eldest grandson of the emperor would never come to tell her a story in front of her. She wanted to listen carefully to what the introduction was for, so Almost Xia Zijin changed his posture to support his forehead, and continued to listen to him.

"Ah Wei knelt on the street for a long time, and no one paid attention to him. Just when he was disheartened and ready to go to the matchmaker to do a personal business, a girl walked up to him and followed Ah Wei's words. Said that it was a fairy-like girl who gave him a warm smile and a bulging purse, but didn't want him to return anything in return. Since that day, Awei has a deep affection for that girl, and it will be unforgettable for a long time. bosom."
