Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 416 Reporting
Halfway through finding it, her palm was suddenly held by someone, and when she turned her head, she saw Xia Zijin had already taken off her outer clothes and was looking at him with a smile.

Xia Zijin looked at him in surprise, and he pulled the palm of his hand against his body, "Zijin, my husband's hair and cheeks are just wet, you can feel it, your body is dry, so you don't need to look for it. "

Only then did Xia Zijin's blushing face recover. After touching him twice with his palm, he felt that it was indeed warm. He immediately closed the cabinet door and poked his finger on his chest, "Where have you been? It's so late." When you come back, are you not afraid of me worrying at all?"

Seeing her purse-mouthed, aggrieved look, Xia Shengqing couldn't help laughing, and held her palm instead, "I bought some things for my husband, here, this is for you."

He opened his palms as if conjuring, and there was a glass jade bottle on it, small, and he could clearly see the crimson liquid inside, Xia Zijin was startled, then opened the bottle stopper, brought it up to his nose and smelled it, A very heavy and very light fragrance poured into the tip of her nose. She pondered for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what it was. She just felt that it was a little like pear blossom, and a little like peach blossom, and it smelled like plum blossom when she smelled it carefully. , It seems that the fragrance of flowers all year round has been stuffed into this bottle, and I can't help but feel joy in my heart, "What is this?"

Xia Shengqing laughed, "This thing is called a incense bottle, and it's a new product from Xiangxiu Pavilion. I happened to see it today, so I bought it for you."

Xia Zijin looked at the glass bottle made into the shape of a white crane, with tassels made of emerald beads hanging below it. It looked transparent, but it was much more beautiful than a sachet. Xia Zijin laughed immediately, "My husband is kind , I shall keep it safe."

While speaking, she tore off the sachet at her waist and replaced it.

Seeing her like this, Xia Shengqing felt a little guilty in her eyes.When Xia Zijin turned his head, he had already covered up his guilt.

After a few days, Xia Zijin received Shen Yue's reply, but she didn't blame her, but told her to be more careful, and told her that what she ordered had been done.

Xia Zijin was a little relieved, and then asked Zhenwen to send a letter to Zhenwu, asking him to stay there with someone to continue to help Zhenwu.

Then she threw the letter into the copper basin burning with charcoal fire, watched it burn to ashes, turned her head to hold the porridge and drank it at ease, and waited until the bottom of the bowl of porridge, Xia Zijin got up and asked Xiner to give orders The coachman in the house prepared the carriage.

Xia Zijin put his hands in his hand warmer pockets, tied on the cloak that was made from the silver fox jacket he had asked for from Rong Yu last time, and stepped on the pedals to get into the car.The snow has been falling continuously for the past few days. Fortunately, it is not falling continuously. It will stop for half a day in the second half of the day, but there is no disaster.

Because of the snow, the road surface was covered with a thin layer of crushed ice, which was very slippery. The carriage traveled slowly all the way, and finally fell over the gate of the palace. Xia Zijin almost fell asleep, but it was Xiner who touched it. She woke up after touching the back of her hand, lifted the curtain, and Xin'er helped her get off the carriage.

It is still snowing outside, the whole sky looks white, and the ground is also white. The sky and the earth seem to be connected together by this piece of whiteness, and there is no sunlight, so it looks gray, and a gloomy feeling is on the face instantly. Xia Zijin rushed towards him.

Seeing her in a daze, Xin'er stood beside her with a 64-section bone umbrella to protect her from the falling snow, and called her softly, "Princess..."

Xia Zijin came back to her senses, met her worried eyes, and smiled reassuringly, "Let's go."

Emperor Ming Sheng was sitting with Yue Jingan eating stewed old duck soup, when he heard the report from the eunuch that it was Princess Mingzhu asking to see him, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked someone to invite her in, and ordered the maid to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks .

Xia Zijin nodded slightly at the eunuch who came to speak and walked in. He bowed his head to pay respects, and slowly raised his hand to see Yue Jing'an. He clenched his sleeves tightly with his fingers and saluted again.Yue Jing'an could see her unwilling face through the bead curtain, and sneered in her heart, "The emperor's concubines are turning red from the cold looking at Princess Mingzhu, why don't you ask the palace servants to take a bowl of soup for her to keep out the cold."

Ming Shengdi just asked someone to buy more bowls and chopsticks, obviously he was going to ask Xia Zijin to enjoy the soup with him, she might as well speak up first and sell face to Ming Shengdi.Sure enough, Ming Shengdi's expression softened immediately when he looked at her.

Xia Zijin felt disgusted when she saw her pretentious appearance, and stared at her the whole time, for fear that her fingers would touch her bowl, or that something shouldn't have been painted on her nails. Poison her, it would be bad if she poisoned her later.

After confirming that she did not handle this bowl of soup, the eunuch made the whole process by himself, Xia Zijin was relieved, holding the soup bowl to thank Ming Shengdi, with a frightened expression, "Father, this father-in-law is serving you alone, my son It is really……"

This eunuch has always been Ming Shengdi's exclusive servant, and he only served him all his life, now he suddenly served her soup, just thinking about it, she felt surprised.

Ming Shengdi's suspicious and probing eyes fell on her in an instant, and the sweat on her back was dripping from his gaze before he moved away. Humu admired her a little more, and called her to get up.Yue Jingan watched from the side, took a sip of the soup, her eyes were full of killing intent.

Following Ming Shengdi's words, Xia Zijin sat down on a chair beside him, took a sip of soup, and warmed up.Ming Shengdi said with a smile: "How?"

"Fresh but not greasy, smooth and delicious." Xia Zijin put down the spoon, speaking softly, while drinking the soup, he raised his head to look at Emperor Ming from time to time, frowning slightly, as if he had something to say.

After doing this a few times, Ming Shengdi realized that thinking about Xia Shengqing's affairs, he suddenly lost his appetite. He put the half-eaten bowl aside, wiped his mouth, and then slapped the cloth towel on the table, telling Yue Jingan to go out.

Seeing that he only asked me to go out, Yue Jing'an thought that Xia Zijin was becoming more and more popular with Emperor Ming recently, her angry face twisted, and she wanted to stay here to listen, but she didn't dare to offend Emperor Ming, so she could only stand up and salute go out.

When passing by Xia Zijin, she deliberately paused, and without waiting for Xia Zijin to take precautions, she passed by and walked out.

The door closed with a "bang", Ming Shengdi put away his loving father image just now, and stared at her with a serious face, "Zi Jin, what did you find?"

Xia Zijin hesitated for a moment before kneeling in front of Ming Shengdi, "Yes, I have already found out where the money that the emperor's grandson corrupted came from."

"Oh? What did he use it for?" Mentioning this matter, Ming Shengdi felt angry, and immediately sank his face, even his tone was difficult to hear.

Xia Zijin took a deep breath before bringing out the prepared remarks, "I want to report to my father, according to the emperor's eldest grandson, the money has been used to help the people in the south of the Yangtze River after the flood, should my father send someone to check it out?" ?”

She raised her head full of doubts, with a clear disbelief on her face, Ming Shengdi looked at her for a long time before she was sure that her expression was sincere, and then laughed, "He can talk, that's all, I'll take care of this matter." I already know, you should go back to your residence and rest, it has been hard for you these few days."

After receiving the order, Xia Zijin took the order.

Xin'er was waiting outside, and immediately went forward to help her out, after such a toss, the snow stopped.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Rong Yu rushed over, looked at her up and down, and made sure that she didn't lose a single hair, and then heaved a sigh of relief, showing a relieved expression.Seeing his nervous look, Xia Zijin couldn't help covering her lips with a smile, "Rong Yu, this princess is only returning to the palace, so don't be nervous."

Rong Yu didn't show the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face, he laughed, "This son is naturally nervous, why, seeing that this son is worried about you, do you feel sorry from the bottom of your heart?"

Hearing that he was about to go off topic, Xia Zijin glanced at him, and sat down on her own, while Xin'er sent the little maid guarding the door to instruct the small kitchen to cook, and turned around to peel walnuts for Xia Zijin.

Seeing her struggling, Rong Yu sneered, grabbed a walnut, and passed it over in the palm of his hand. With a little force, the walnut split open, and the walnut meat was taken out, and handed to Xia Zijin.

Seeing his showing off, Xia Zijin looked at Xin'er's slumped face, and shook his head, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. I mean, I don't need your Majesty's son because I have a servant girl to serve you. If King Rong knows that you voluntarily give this princess Peeling walnuts, I'm afraid I will die of anger."

The majestic son of Prince Rong did not want to make King Rong angry by doing what a maid did.

Rong Yu held the palm of the walnut kernel for a while, but couldn't hear the meaning of rejection in her words, laughed at himself, and threw all the walnut kernels into the wastebasket under his feet.Seeing him like this, Xia Zijin's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.

Xia Shengqing came back from the outside, and as soon as he pushed the room away, he saw the two people sitting face to face in embarrassment. He immediately felt that Xia Zijin was being bullied, so he squinted his eyes and stepped forward, passing by Rongyu by the way. , "Senior Rong has a dark face, what is he planning to do, the princess is timid, but she can't stand the prince's scare."

The tone of the words was teasing, but the expression was serious, a veritable warning.Rongyu's back ached from the sudden black hand, and it felt like the part that was hit was burning instantly.

Rong Yu grinned, realizing for the first time that there was a price to be paid for flirting with a married woman.From the moment Xia Shengqing entered the room, Xia Zijin smelled a strong smell of vinegar. Seeing the two fighting each other, Xia Zijin couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and took the walnuts to the dark table to eat.

Seeing that she didn't intend to take care of them, Xin'er naturally wouldn't intervene, and obediently followed her, peeling the walnuts for her.

Seeing that she was only focusing on eating walnuts and not helping her to speak, Xia Shengqing suddenly turned her head and looked at her with aggrieved eyes.Xia Zijin coughed, then looked at Rongyu, "Rongyu, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest earlier?"

Rong Yu was in the upper hand, and when he heard this, he was immediately discouraged.
