Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 425 The Benefactor
As soon as Xia Zijin looked up, he saw his nervous expression. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the tea stains from the corner of his mouth. He held the teacup and held it in his palm until his body temperature rose.Looking at Rong Yu's hesitant expression, she hesitated, "Senior Rong, do you have something to say to the princess?"

The slightly polite address made Rong Yu's heart go cold. He shouldn't have interfered with her and Xia Shengqing's affairs. If he said it rashly, he would inevitably be suspected of provoking their feelings. But seeing Xia Zijin being so deceived In the drum... Rongyu's hands on the table were fisted, and he made up his mind, "That's right, Zijin, this son has investigated something, and you should be interested."

The air in the room condensed for a while, Xia Zijin touched the wall of the cup, looked at the faint light flickering in his eyes, his lips moved, and his heart became inexplicably flustered, always feeling that there was something important to say from Rong Yu's mouth She spit it out and became uneasy, she tried her best to stabilize her mind, and took a breath, "What's the matter?"

"Concubine Lian arranged for Xia Shengqing to enter the palace when he was young. It is said that there was no rice in the family. The nanny under Concubine Lian's hand was out of the palace once, and it happened that Bao Bao was still a child and he went to Beijing to join relatives, but the relatives refused to accept him. , that nanny kindly arranged Xia Shengqing into the palace to be a little guard." Rong Yu spit out the news from the captured man in one breath.

A gust of cool wind blew in through the half-opened window, lifting the broken hair around Xia Zijin's ears, and the chill climbed up the soles of her feet, bit by bit, engulfing her whole body.She even couldn't bring up the strength to pull up the corners of her lips to show a smile. Her pale face was as pale as snow in an instant, the blood faded away, and her lips trembled. After a while, a mocking arc appeared on her face, "Rong The prince really likes to joke."

"Zijin, what this son said is true. If you don't believe it, the person who knew about it back then is in the hands of this son. Why don't you..." Seeing that she refused to believe him, Rong Yu frowned anxiously. With a stern look on his face, he patted the table and stood up, trying to prove that what he said was true.

Xia Zijin lowered her head and grasped the corner of the table with her fingers, as if she was about to pick a piece of wood. Her long eye feathers kept trembling, one after another, like the wings of a butterfly.Hearing Rong Yu's emotional words, Xia Zijin suddenly raised his head and interrupted him with a loud voice, "Senior Rong, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me Turn your face, this princess is tired and has no time to play games with the prince, so I will take my leave first."

"Xin'er, let's go." Xin'er, who was startled by Xia Zijin's sudden anger, quickly stepped forward to help her leave, perhaps because of her extreme anger, Xia Zijin's face flushed unnaturally.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she couldn't help coughing, and hurriedly took out the veil to cover her mouth. When she took off the veil, she saw a bright red on the snow-white veil. Xin'er was shocked and couldn't help but lose her voice, "Princess ,This……"

Xia Zijin put up her middle finger and pressed it on her lips, Xin'er immediately fell silent, her eyes were full of worry.Rong Yu watched from behind, stepped forward intentionally, and stopped because of her cold words just now, watched her leave helplessly, after regaining consciousness, the corners of his lips curled up in a mocking arc, and he laughed loudly.

The snow on the branches outside was falling in a rustle, just like someone's thoughts, chilling to the bone.

When Xia Zijin went back to the house with difficulty, her hands and feet were freezing cold. Even wearing a thick jacket, she couldn't stop her body temperature from dropping. Xin'er hurriedly lit the charcoal fire in the copper basin and closed the doors and windows to block the cold wind outside. , and took Mrs. Tang and asked Xia Zijin to hold her.

After working for a while, Xia Zijin felt that she had come alive. Thinking about what Rong Yu said before, her fingers holding Mrs. Tang tightened involuntarily, and a complicated light flashed in her eyes. After a long time, she slowly spit out a "Xin'er, tell me, is what Rong Yu just said true?"

Xin'er's fingers trembled while she was pouring tea, and the tea spilled onto the table, "I don't know about this, the princess might as well ask Lord Qiantose, maybe Lord Qiantose is willing to tell the princess?"

Xia Zijin smiled wryly. Although she reprimanded Rong Yu, she actually believed what Rong Yu said, so she could understand why Xia Shengqing refused to attack Yue Jing'an. Everything was because Yue Jing'an belonged to him. benefactor.Xia Zijin's eyes flickered twice, staring at the undulating buds in the teacup with a complicated expression.

Just as she was thinking, a figure stepped in, Xin'er immediately looked up, the plate in her hand fell to the ground in shock, Xia Shengqing frowned slightly, she quickly apologized, squatted down, and quickly picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor, Sweeping it into the dustpan, carrying it out, passing by Xia Shengqing, Xin'er didn't dare to lift her head, and went out sideways, only to gasp for breath.

Xia Shengqing glanced at her suspiciously, and wrapped her around Xia Zijin from behind, clearly noticing that Xia Zijin's body seemed to tremble, "Zijin, are you cold?"

Xia Zijin opened his mouth to ask intentionally, but he was afraid that the situation was indeed what Rong Yu said, so he pressed the words back and swallowed them down his throat.Xia Zijin turned around and looked at Xia Shengqing's concerned eyes, feeling pain in her heart. In the past, this expression was love in her eyes, but now it seems only mocking, "Some, you go and close the door."

Snowflakes fell outside again, and Xia Zijin hugged Mrs. Tang and leaned against Xia Shengqing's arms, feeling extremely complicated.Xia Shengqing clearly sensed her absent-mindedness, and dark clouds gathered in his dark eyes. For some reason, he just came back today, and when he saw Xia Zijin's figure, he had the feeling that she was about to disappear.

Until now, Xia Zijin was obviously leaning in his arms, and this feeling still hadn't dissipated.

After Rong Yu learned that Xia Shengqing had returned, he hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but come over to take a peek. However, as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, Xin'er, who had gone out to dump the broken porcelain, found him, and coughed a few times in embarrassment.

Xin'er knew that he was worried about Xia Zijin, but the master's affairs could not be discussed by slaves, so after thinking about it, she quickly lowered her head, pretending that she didn't see Rong Yu just now, and let him pass.

Rong Yu breathed out, and successfully touched the corner of Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing's wall, squatted down, and put his ear against the wall to eavesdrop.It's a pity that when he first came, his goal was too big, and it happened that Xia Zijin looked up and saw the black shadow flashing past on the paper window. The sad mood just now was immediately broken by this change. She twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't move. He reminded Xia Shengqing sternly, "Sheng Qing, the tea on the table is a little cold, can you pour it out of the window for me?"

When the tea was cold, a maid came to take it away. This was the first time Xia Shengqing heard her make such a request. She couldn't help but look at her twice, moved her mouth, nodded, picked up the teacup on the table and pointed it at the window. go.

Rong Yu listened to the conversation between the two of them. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, he turned pale with fright and ran away. He didn't want to be splashed with cold water in the cold winter months.What's more, Xia Zijin had obviously found his tracks, so she would definitely not discuss what he had told her before as he wished. After weighing the pros and cons, Rong Yu decided to go first.

As soon as Xin'er came back, she was bumped into her shoulder by him, and she fell to the ground, grinning her teeth, and there was an extra hand in front of her eyes. She subconsciously put her finger on it, and then she came back to her senses. See Zhenwen's face.

She was startled, and hurriedly wanted to pull her palm back. Unexpectedly, Zhenwen suddenly exerted strength and pulled her into his arms. Xin'er exclaimed, and she was laid on her back in his arms. With an ambiguous posture, her face flushed red, and she became angry from embarrassment, "Let me go."

A slight smile appeared on the corners of Zhenwen's lips, "Are you serious?"

"Let me go." It was the first time that Xin'er had such close contact with a man, and hearing him talk to her in a provocative tone, her ears were burning, and she stomped her feet angrily.

Zhenwen nodded, turned to one side, and let go of his palms.Before Xin'er had time to prepare, she straightened her body and fell forward. Seeing that her face was about to come into close contact with the ground, she immediately closed her eyes and shouted, "True text!"

This scene was naturally designed by Zhenwen. With a smug smile on his face, he quickly caught her and raised the corners of his lips, "Xin'er, I will take care of you if you throw yourself into your arms like this. I won't disappoint the beauty." mind."

Xin'er just thanked him for catching her so as not to disfigure her, but when she heard his words the next second, her complexion turned dark instantly, she wished she could bite him, opened her eyes and stared at him angrily, "Really Wen! You stinky rascal!"

At the same time as the voice fell, she grabbed Zhenwen's shoulder and took a bite, stood up while pressing his arm, stepped on his instep, leaving Zhenwen alone who kept screaming in pain, and left angrily.

When Xin'er came in with a food cup, she couldn't help but get angry when she thought of being molested by Zhenwen in the afternoon, she grabbed the handkerchief in her hand angrily, stood aside, her mind was in a mess.Xin'er yelled a few times, but she didn't respond. When she looked back, she looked absent-minded, her face was flushed, and she seemed to be fascinated by others. Gossip immediately appeared on her face, and she raised her voice and coughed, " Xiner!"

She just woke up, raised her head quickly, and walked up to Xia Zijin, "Princess, slave..."

Xia Zijin glanced at her, and pretended to be understated, "Xin'er, why are you always out of your mind today? Could it be that this soul was snatched away by others?"

When she mentioned this, the image of Zhenwen instantly appeared in Xin'er's mind. She was taken aback and shook her head quickly, "Princess, I just didn't sleep well yesterday, and I was a little absent-minded. Please punish me, Princess."

Seeing her kneeling as soon as she said kneeling, Xia Zijin's face was full of helplessness, and she looked up at Xia Shengqing, who was putting plum blossom cakes into her mouth while watching the play, and then turned her head to help Xin'er up, "Okay, this princess and you Just kidding, since you are not in good spirits, go back and have a good rest."
