Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 408

Seeing her teasing herself, Xia Shengqing couldn't help but glared at her, and took the bag that Zhenwen had filled with hot water and handed it to her.Xia Zijin stretched out his hand to take it, and felt better. He leaned against the carriage, leaning his back against the lead pillow, "Chenyan should go back at this time."

"She went back, but Rongyu stayed in the mansion." Xia Shengqing frowned displeased when she thought that she and Xia Zijin would be forced to squeeze in another person when they were alone, and her eyes were filled with grievance. looking at her.

Seeing his childish appearance, Xia Zijin couldn't help shaking his head while holding his forehead, but there was a rare smile on his lips, "Shizi Rong has helped you and me so much this time. It's not a big deal for him to stay for a month or so, after all, he is a guest, so please bear with him for a while."

The sentence "he is a guest" immediately made Xia Shengqing smile and nodded obediently, "In that case, I will bear with it for a while longer."

The two of them are very affectionate at the moment, while Rong Yu who was left in the mansion is full of resentment, very upset that he can only stay obediently in the son-in-law's mansion as a left-behind child.When he thought of spending so many days alone with Xia Zijin, not only did he fail to transfer Xia Zijin's aesthetics from Xia Shengqing to himself, but he almost killed Xia Zijin, he couldn't help but blame himself.

Yue Jing'an had received the news that Xia Zijin was safe and sound, and she was so angry that she almost gritted her silver teeth.Knowing that Emperor Ming Sheng personally asked her to enter the palace to face the saint, Yue Jing'an couldn't help feeling resentful, grabbed the cup at the side and threw it on the ground.

The sound of broken porcelain immediately resounded in the room. Seeing her angry, Mammy sighed silently, and went up to comfort her as before, "Mother, this time it may be that Xia Qin is too useless this time, and that Xia Zijin is really Fate is big, the old slave heard that the arrow feather shot directly into her back heart, so she didn't die, maybe she was lucky, don't worry, empress, if it doesn't work this time, there will always be a chance next time."

Because in recent days, Yue Jing'an lost her temper more and more frequently, and Xia Zijin was lucky to avoid those plots every time, and the nanny didn't know how to persuade Yue Jing'an, and her words inevitably became incoherent. Because she didn't know the bottom line in her heart.

Yue Jing'an naturally heard that she said this to comfort herself, layers of ice floes flitted through her dark eyeballs, her white teeth bit her red lips tightly, and her lips almost ooze blood.

When Xia Qin knew that Xia Zijin was not dead, he kept complaining that Yue Jingan gave him a bad idea. As for the assassin who went to assassinate Xia Zijin, he naturally found an excuse to deal with him, lest Ming Shengdi investigate some clues and involve on him.

Xia Zijin didn't know that his life and death still had the hearts of so many people. Taking advantage of entering the palace, Xia Shengqing sent someone to hold the prince hostage and lock him into the house, waiting for Xia Zijin to teach him a lesson. .As for the next thing, even if he didn't say anything, Xia Zijin could guess that just as she was about to say nonsense, the coachman's voice came in, "Princess, son-in-law, the carriage has arrived."

Xia Shengqing was waiting for her to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by this voice. Just as she was about to get angry, she was stopped by Xia Zijin's words, "Sheng Qing, let's go in first. Don't stay outside, I'm a little cold."

Even if she was so angry, she couldn't compare to Xia Zijin's body. Xia Shengqing gave the coachman a bitter look, then took Xia Zijin's hand, and wrapped her whole fingers in the wide palm, and walked all the way to the imperial study room. go.

Xiao Xiazi, who had gone out of the palace to greet them earlier, had returned to serve Ming Shengdi again. When he saw them coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile, "I have seen the princess, Lord Qiantui."

Xia Zijin hurriedly helped him up, "Where's father? Are you asleep?"

Xiao Xiazi laughed immediately, "How could that be! The emperor has been waiting for the princess to come back, since the princess has come, let's go in quickly."

As soon as Xia Zijin stepped in, she found that the bead curtains in the middle were hung on both sides by the palace maids, revealing her true face behind. Wearing Chu Huang's dragon robe on her body, she had a sense of majesty.Seeing Ming Shengdi frowning slightly, Xia Zijin realized something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Ming Shengdi saw how polite she was, and the displeasure he felt when she looked directly at him just now disappeared, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his lips, just like a folk father seeing his sons and daughters returning from a long journey.

The tense atmosphere in the imperial study dissipated, Xia Zijin finally took a breath, sat down on a stool beside him as he ordered, straightened his back, and looked directly at Ming Shengdi.Xia Shengqing sat next to her, looking at her dotingly from the beginning to the end.

Ming Shengdi couldn't help coughing, "Zi Jin, you have suffered these days."

Xia Zijin stood up immediately, and blessed the body to Emperor Ming, "The daughter is indeed suffering, but if this is the case, the father will be safe, and the daughter will not worry even if she works hard again."

Originally, Ming Shengdi listened to her first sentence, and was about to laugh and scold her for selling melons and boasting, but then, when he heard the latter words, he couldn't help laughing, "You are a ghost, tell me, what do you want?"

"Father, is it possible that in your eyes, the reason why your daughter went to Liuzhou to find medicine is to ask for a reward from her father?" Xia Zijin pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction, showing the naive attitude of her youngest daughter.

Xia Shengqing watched from the side, wishing she could tuck her into his arms and hide her so that no one else could see how cute she was.Ming Shengdi naturally did not miss the naked admiration for Xia Zijin revealed in his eyes, and unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, turned to look at Xia Zijin, deliberately teasing her, "Okay, okay, it's my father who misunderstood you, but this time you You have made great achievements, so there is no way Father would not reward you, why don't you choose some beautiful men from this palace and go back."

Xia Zijin almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and Xia Shengqing even shifted his eyes from Xia Zijin to Ming Shengdi's face in an instant, as if his eyes were about to poke a hole out of him.Ming Shengdi didn't care about the change in his expression at all, and continued to look at Xia Zijin with a smile.

"Father, don't be joking, my son-in-law doesn't dare to ask for it." Xia Zijin came back to his senses, and felt the people around him getting colder and colder. I don't even want to let outsiders enter the mansion to make the son-in-law unhappy."

While speaking, Xia Zijin's face rose with a red glow, and she held his palm quite shyly.The cold air that was constantly rising around Xia Shengqing disappeared in an instant, and the eyes were once again dissatisfied with tenderness.

Seeing his childish appearance, Xia Zijin couldn't help but feel happy, and turned to look at Emperor Ming with a firmer gaze.

Ming Shengdi was originally worried that Xia Shengqing was an eunuch and would not be able to bring happiness to Xia Zijin, so he felt a little guilty in his heart, and also wanted to test the relationship between the two of them now, so he mentioned this sentence. Xia Zijin refused so clearly, and did not hide his satisfaction with Xia Shengqing in his words.

Thinking of this, Ming Shengdi's eyes softened involuntarily.

Father and daughter haven't seen each other for more than two days, so they naturally have something to say.Waiting for the outside sky to darken, Ming Shengdi released him.Xia Zijin gathered the jacket tightly around her body, and let Xia Shengqing pull her out by the palm.

As soon as the door of the imperial study was pushed open, a gust of cold wind came in and blew straight into her throat. Xia Zijin couldn't help coughing immediately, one after another, Xia Shengqing hurriedly stroked her back, turned her head, He smiled apologetically at Xiao Xiazi, "I still need to trouble Eunuch Xia to tell the emperor, it means that Princess Zhu is not in good health, so I will go back first, and then I will come to the palace to pay respects to the emperor when there is a day in the future."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Xiazi to return the gift, Xia Shengqing pulled Xia Zijin and quickly walked towards the palace gate.The carriage of the son-in-law's mansion was waiting at the same spot from the beginning to the end. When the coachman saw the two of them coming out, he rushed up to greet them, "Princess, Lord Qiantui."

Xia Shengqing didn't even look at him, she stepped on the pedals and got into the carriage.The carriage was covered with thick blankets and covered with deerskin curtains all around, the cold air outside was immediately cut off, Xia Zijin leaned in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. warm up.Xia Shengqing brought the still warm tea on the table to her lips and took a sip. Just as she was about to speak, a gust of wind rolled up the car curtain.

Then, fine white snow-white things like catkins floated down from the sky, one after another fell on the top of the carriage, and disappeared when they fell on the bluestone ground.Xia Zijin was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and almost subconsciously stretched his hands out of the carriage, trying to catch the snowflakes that melted with the wind.

But after a while, the top of the carriage was covered with an extremely light layer of hoarfrost, the same as the ground.Xia Shengqing was worried that she would catch a cold, so she hurriedly pulled her back into the carriage.The coachman didn't expect the sudden snowfall, his coat and clothes were soaked, and he was shivering from the cold.

After finally returning to the mansion, Xia Zijin just opened the curtain when she saw the coachman standing aside, her frozen teeth chattering up and down, she couldn't help laughing, "Go back and change your clothes, you shouldn't be in the carriage today , you go back and rest."

The coachman had been freezing for a long time, and wished he could go back to his own room and change clothes. Hearing her words now, he naturally didn't hesitate at all, thanked her hurriedly, rubbed his hands and went back to the anteroom where the servant lived.

When Xia Zijin returned to the room, the tea on the table had just been brewed and was still steaming. Xia Zijin hurriedly held the teacup and held it in her palm, waiting for the temperature on her body to recover before she let out a long sigh of relief.

Xia Shengqing accompanied her the whole time, sat opposite her and looked at her. Seeing her suddenly looking at him at this moment, she couldn't help laughing, "But I'm hungry, I'll get you something to eat."

After she got sick, he took care of her meals alone, just to make her eat more comfortably.Hearing what he said, the taste buds on the tip of Xia Zijin's tongue jumped.
