Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 212 Sit back and watch the situation rise

"Your Highness Changsun, there is no need to say more. We will discuss this matter later." Xia Zijin said lightly, intending to see off the guests.

Xia Qixuan naturally understood that today's matter would not work out, if he pestered her any more, it would unavoidably annoy Xia Zijin's nature, so he graciously raised his hand and bowed to her as a farewell.

When Xia Qixuan's master and servants were far away, Xia Zijin sat in her seat and thought about the follow-up impact of today's incident for a while, and then she looked at Xiaokui who was still standing there with her head bowed silently, and felt a little pity Come.

"Xiaokui, come here." Xia Zijin waved to her.

Xiaokui looked at Xia Zijin timidly, and walked up to her in three steps and five steps, then lowered her eyes weakly and called out in a low voice.

"Princess... this servant does not want to marry!"

Xia Zijin smiled, knowing early on that she was being awkward, raised her hand and gently pinched Xiaokui's face and said softly: "Good girl, how could this princess just marry you so casually?" As for those who are concerned, look at this princess, didn’t you just reject it for you.”

Xiaokui nodded emphatically with a waxy voice, and she was very grateful to Xia Zijin in her heart. She is so lucky to have such a good master. If it were someone else, I am afraid that she would have promised her out early in order to have a relationship with the emperor's eldest grandson. up.

"The servant knows that the princess is so kind to the servant, and the servant will definitely serve the princess forever!"

Hearing her swearing coquettish words, Xia Zijin chuckled, poked her forehead lightly with her finger like a water onion, and spat: "You girl is easy to talk about, and you say that girls don't want to stay. , if you meet your sweetheart in the future, why don't you leave this troublesome master aside? This princess doesn't expect you to serve you forever, but I just want to find someone who treats you sincerely. .”

Xiaokui blushed, repeatedly denied it, and muttered that Xia Zijin was making fun of her, and the master and servant were very happy to laugh at each other.

Xia Qixuan's courtship for A-Wei was originally in Xia Zijin's mind, and he ordered someone to secretly inquire about A-Wei's wealth and personality. He only worked as an errand for more than half a year, and it seemed that after he buried his late father, he couldn't find Xiaokui, so he went to the emperor's grandson's mansion as an attendant, but Xia Qixuan never came to mention this matter again, so Xia Zijin just didn't like it. Just let it go.

In the blink of an eye, October 25th was the day when Liu Anqi and Yue Huiru got married. The welcoming team circled around the capital three times in a bustling manner. Three feet soft and red, more permeated with An Su's sustenance of a girly pink heart.

On this day, Liu Jiaer rode a white horse, kicked three times and shot the sedan chair door three times, and then welcomed the beautiful lady whom he had been thinking about into the mansion.

On this day, thousands of people congratulate the couple on their wedding, and the wedding banquet lasts until late at night with wine cups and cups.

But this day was also the day when Li's mansion was ransacked. General Huwei spent three years, and finally fell at this moment of the year.

When guards in cold armor broke into Li's house one by one, and handcuffed all the family members to punish them, the huge Li's mansion seemed to be gradually eaten away by an empty shell in the heart, and it was lonely and silent in the end.

General Huwei was sentenced to death by Ming Shengdi.

There is no vigorous anti-crime and confession, and there is no high-spirited resistance to death.Xia Bin is indeed a vicious character, and in just a few days, he has already found all the evidence of the private exchange between General Huwei and the former prince.

Even if there is no evidence in the first place, he can still create it. If he can break one of the prince's arms, he will naturally maximize this opportunity.

Seeing these many crimes, Ming Shengdi believed that General Huwei had betrayed him. Undoubtedly, in a rage, he gave General Huwei the death penalty and ordered his head to be hung outside the guard gate of Shangjing City for three days and three nights as a warning. Dalai's officials must not learn from the thief's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

However, after Li's house was confiscated, a group of family members of General Huwei and his subordinates were convicted according to the depth of their relationship with the treason case. He was executed together with General Huwei.

The Li family lineage that had been favored for a while was uprooted in this way, leaving no way out.

Xia Qin lost the powerful arm of General Huwei, so he was so angry that he vomited blood. In addition, during this period of time, Xia Shengqing no longer provided him with Ming Shengdi's thoughts and ideas, and Ming Shengdi's thoughts became more and more serious. It was difficult for him to guess, and some of the things he did were even more unsatisfactory, causing Ming Shengdi to severely reprimand him.

Such a situation is completely different from the time when he was favored by Ming Shengdi. Xia Qin was anxious to take the position of the crown prince, how could he bear such a gap? Deliberately perfunctory and evasive, hated to itch.

His eyes were red with anxiety, and he couldn't get any benefits from Xia Shengqing, so he naturally had a bit of cruelty in his heart.

General Huwei was removed from Xia Qin's side, and Xia Bin gained some advantage on the other side. Under the vicious fight between the two, you came and went, but they pinched and bit very fiercely.

Today, someone from Xia Qin's faction reported on Xia Bin's faction for taking bribes to fill their pockets.Tomorrow, people from Xia Bin's faction will write a memorial to impeach Xia Xia, and those from Qin's faction will form cliques among bureaucrats for self-interest and fish for the common people.

The two secretly fought evenly, and they bit very tightly. Ming Shengdi was kept in the dark by the two of them, and thought that the bureaucratic atmosphere in the court was growing, and he was also a headache. After January, he was busy dealing with the government affairs. The body is also a little heavier.

The atmosphere above the court was so tense and swift, but Xia Shengqing dealt with it and shirked Xia Qin, and watched him and Xia Bin fight each other with cold eyes, but he was at ease.

This day is bright and clear, the wind is clear and the sun is bright, which is most suitable for outing and hiking.

Xia Zijin made an appointment with Yue Huiru, who is now her cousin outside the palace, to go to Yuqing Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

The Yuqing Temple is built on the Cuiyun Mountain. It is said that it is a place with beautiful scenery and ghostly birds and beasts. Tourists from the capital and neighboring counties often visit Cuiyun Mountain for half a day by going to Yuqing Temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha.

Seeing the green and shady trees in the mountains, stepping on the soft green grass, inhaling deeply the coolness of the water vapor in the air, and the gurgling streams flowing slowly from the mountains and forests, the ear There is spring water ding-dong by the side, so it is very pleasant and enjoyable to play in this mountain forest.

At the end of the morning, Xia Zijin ordered Xiaokui to dress and wash for her early in the morning, and prepared a pair of sesame oil, red candles, yellow paper and Baohua Changming lanterns to be enshrined in Yuqing Temple. Xiao Huanzi drove the carriage, and the master and servant The three of them handed out the palace tokens and went all the way to Liu Mansion first, then Yue Huiru drove slowly towards the Cuiyun Mountain.

As it was almost November, the weather in Shangjing was getting colder every day.

Xia Zijin wore thick and thick clothes when she went out this time. Hearing that there is mist shrouding the top of Cuiyun Mountain, it must be damp and cold, and it may be colder than the foot of the mountain, so Xiaokui asked Xiaokui to prepare a thick cloak when going out. , In this way, if you are well prepared, you don't have to worry about being frozen in panic after arriving at Cuiyun Mountain.

The two sisters-in-law went to Cuiyun Mountain, but after a while they arrived in Yuqing Temple.This Yuqing Temple is a famous temple built in the middle of the mountains.

Someone once said that in Yuqing Temple, an old man with white hair descended from the sky and came to the mortal world. Since then, there have been more mysterious legends about this temple.

Maybe it was the unlucky season for the two of them to come. There were several heavy rains in the Cuiyun Mountain where Yuqing Temple is located in the past few days, and the mountain road was slippery, so the number of people going to Yuqing Temple to offer incense was much less than usual.

When the two came, there were only a few pilgrims in twos and threes kneeling in front of the temple and praying. The two of them also received the pilgrim badges from the little novice in front of the gate, and worshiped the Buddha statues in the order of worship, and put Light the prepared sesame oil and red candle yellow paper with the open fire in this temple, fold your hands together, and pray sincerely.

Finally, put the treasured ever-bright lamp in the main hall, and the presiding abbot will personally light the open flame, and leave it in this hall for a long time, and it will not be extinguished for many years, so that the whole body of the lamp provider will be safe, safe and happy.

Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is a very tiring thing. Xia Zijin and Yue Huiru went to worship one by one, and after lighting the long lanterns, they were exhausted.

The two sat in the courtyard of the temple for a while, and then they were going to invite each other to take a walk in Cuiyun Mountain.

Yue Huiru is not wearing light clothes today. She is wearing a water-pink waistcoat that tightly wraps her slim figure. The ankle-length shisha-colored skirt is elegant and soft, and she is covered with a scarlet wide-sleeved big skirt. T-shirt, with a shawl of the same color as the skirt, it looks very dignified and elegant.

"Hui Ru, your identity is different now. When you were a boudoir girl, you were a little weaker than now, and you are infatuated with cousin An Qi. You frown every day. This princess deeply feels that you are a person. You have to take pity on the girl who is made of water, as expected, my cousin loves you deeply, and now that you are married, you are more dignified and stable, no matter who looks at it, it will not tell you which family's noble lady it is?"

Xia Zijin covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed at Yue Huiru, happy for her and Liu Anqi in her heart.

As for Yuehui Rufang's newly married wife, it was at the time when she and Liu Anqi were deeply in love, and when she heard Xia Zijin's teasing, she immediately put on a face of shame, and said in a crisp voice: "The princess will take me Just kidding, when you marry Manager Xia in the future, they will be just like this, see if I don't make fun of you then laugh!"
