Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 440 Xiner left with her lover

The shopkeeper reached out and took the waist card from the second-hand shopkeeper. After seeing the words on it, he was about to kneel down and salute in shock, "Cao Min sees Princess Pearl."

The diners in the lobby were all startled when they heard these words, and the chopsticks in their hands fell to the table with a "slap", and the waiter from the previous shop trembled all over, his legs softened and he knelt down.

Xia Zijin turned her head to look at the other people who were about to bow down, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "This princess is just here to look for my maid, you don't have to worry about it, just sit down."

Everyone sat down with peace of mind, but they couldn't help but glance at Xia Zijin. Their eyes were full of surprises. They only heard that Princess Mingzhu had a beautiful appearance. They had never seen it before. They thought it was a false name. The country is beautiful and heavenly.All the men present were full of admiration, and thinking of her choosing to marry a eunuch, they couldn't help sighing.

Xia Zijin frowned a little bit, turned to look at the shopkeeper and the waiter who were still kneeling on the ground, sharp eyes flashed in the dark eyes, "Shopkeeper, I have something to ask, may I find a room?"

Naturally, the shopkeeper didn't dare to refuse, so he quickly asked the waiter to follow, and he led the way, leading Xia Zijin upstairs.

As soon as he entered the box, the noise from below was blocked out.Xia Zijin's gaze then fell on the trembling shop waiter who lowered his head behind the shopkeeper, and snorted coldly, "Come here, tell me, where did the princess's maid go?"

The waiter's legs were trembling, and he stepped forward under the glaring gaze of the shopkeeper, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Princess, I don't know that the girl is your maid, otherwise I wouldn't have guessed like that. Please spare my life, princess!"

While speaking, he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing.Xia Zijin impatiently slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense here, tell me, where is Xin'er!"

Xia Zijin looked at him coldly, seeing that he was only begging for mercy, trembling and unable to speak, a burst of anger surged in his chest, he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at his head, "Bastard!" Something! This princess asked you something, so hurry up and say it!"

Seeing that Xia Zijin was angry, the shopkeeper quickly stepped forward, kicked the waiter over, and winked at him, "The princess is asking you something! Hurry up and say it!"

The waiter in the shop was so frightened that he pissed and pissed, and after he realized it, he quickly knelt down on the ground again, "Princess, please forgive me. The little one did see a son come over to take Miss Xin'er away. The little one stayed away, and only heard the words of Yipin Pavilion and Jewelry. If so, I made a guess on my own, the little one would never know that she is the princess's maid, if she knew, the little one would not say anything even if she died, so please spare the little one's life, the princess!"

The room was full of dirty smells, Xia Zijin covered his nose and got up, gave him a disgusted look, got up and walked out.

The manager of the shopkeeper looked at the waiter with hatred, and hurriedly followed him to intercede for him.Xia Zijin looked at him nodding and bowing, glanced at him, and said casually: "Prepare the carriage for the princess, and then send someone to the concubine's mansion, just say that the princess has gone to Yipin Pavilion, and ask the steward to bring someone here quickly."

Seeing that she didn't mention the waiter, the shopkeeper hurriedly nodded, and immediately ordered someone to go to the son-in-law's mansion, waited for Xia Zijin to leave the restaurant, boarded the carriage and left, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Xia Zijin leaned in the carriage and headed all the way to Yipin Pavilion. Fortunately, the two places were not far from each other, and the carriage stopped quickly.Xia Zijin lifted the curtain of the car, stepped on the pedals to get out of the car, stood at the door of Yipin Pavilion, looked at it, and walked in.

Yipin Pavilion is one of the best jewelry shops in Diners. Every year, jewelry is brought into the palace. The shop is unusually quiet, and the shop assistants are quietly thinking about their calculations, and they don't shake what they are doing just because Xia Zijin came in.

Xia Zijin pursed her lips, a three-point smile flashed in her eyes, wiped her fingers on her lips, walked up to the clerk, knocked on the table, and handed over the waist card, "Could the clerk introduce the shopkeeper here for the princess?" .”

The line of sight was suddenly blocked, the clerk raised his head impatiently, saw the word "Pearl" on the waist tag, and heard her calling herself a princess, immediately put away the expression on his face, and saluted respectfully.Xia Zijin looked at him like this, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he raised his palm falsely, "Don't be too polite, take me to see your shopkeeper."

The clerk naturally had no room to refuse, and led her to the second floor, pushed open the innermost box, stood at the door and bowed, "Princess, please."

Xia Zijin nodded slightly, and walked in. There was only one candle lit in the room, and it was very dim. There was a figure reclining on the soft couch in front of the table, with her hair tied up with a jade crown. The closer Xia Zijin got closer, the more familiar she felt. , as if he had seen this person before, when he got closer, Xia Zijin couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wei Chen, why is it you?"

Wei Chen squinted his eyes and smiled, "Zijin, I think I'm asking you this question."

Xia Zijin's expression darkened instantly, "Are you kidding me?"

This pavilion has been in operation for some years, Wei Chen, an actor, how could he have such great ability, Xia Zijin's dark eyes appeared misty, and he stepped back subconsciously, wanting to open the door and go out.

Wei Chen watched her from the corner of his eye when she opened the door and came in. Naturally, he didn't miss her action. He immediately put down the jade cup he was playing with, stood up, and walked towards her, "Zi Jin, you misunderstood me. The current shopkeeper is indeed me."

"What's going on?" Xia Zijin paused, and raised his head in confusion.

Wei Chen moved his mouth, "Zi Jin, when I came to the capital, I was indeed bewitched by others, but my friendship with you has never changed. If I was not worried about you, I would not have been deceived. You have been Don’t want to see me again, can you forgive me now?”

Seeing his hurt look, Xia Zijin turned away uncomfortably.She was angry at the time, so she said those cruel words. She never expected to see him again. After she lost her anger, she searched for him privately, but there was no news. She thought Wei Chen had returned to Jiangnan, but she didn't expect him to do it The shopkeeper of Yipin Pavilion.

"Wei Chen, the princess was reckless in what happened back then. You said that, but you took that Xiner away." Xia Zijin's face was slightly hot, she turned her head, took a deep breath, and looked directly at him.

Wei Chen nodded, "Miss Xin'er is in the room right now. I saw that she seemed to be very sleepy, so I asked her to drink some calming soup. I'm afraid she's still asleep right now. Zijin, since you forgive me, why don't you accompany me?" I'll have a drink, and when things are settled here, it's time for me to go back to Jiangnan, so you should do it for me."

Xia Zijin hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement. It happened that she also had a lot of things to ask Wei Chen, "However, I have to take a look at Xin'er first."

Wei Chen immediately clapped his hands, and the man who had led the way immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door.Wei Chen subconsciously raised his hand to touch Xia Zijin's head, but suddenly realized something, and withdrew his hand like an electric shock, "I forgot, you are already a princess now, not a little girl anymore."

His tone was very lonely, and Xia Zijin couldn't help but see the scene of him being beaten for himself when he was young, his heart twitched, his eyes showed some confusion, and he quickly regained his clarity. He didn't answer his words, and walked out Walk.

Wei Chen's palm hanging by his side tightened slightly, looking at her back, a cloud of darkness formed in his dark eyes, he raised his heel to follow her.Xia Zijin pushed open the door, and saw the woman lying on the bed, hurriedly stepped forward, just as she was about to make a sound, someone grabbed her shoulders, "Zijin, Miss Xin'er is probably very tired, so let me let you go." Let her go to sleep first."

Xia Zijin swallowed the words, glanced at Xin'er, nodded, and went out with him.

Because of Xia Zijin's arrival, Wei Chen specially asked the waiter to light two more lamps, and the room was lit up instantly. Wei Chen poured wine for her with the jug, poured another glass for himself, and drank it with his head raised.

Xia Zijin smelled the aroma of the wine and couldn't help laughing, "Is this peach blossom drunk?"

In the past in the south of the Yangtze River, she was greedy for wine and went to the oiran's room to steal wine, and was caught straight. It was Wei Chen who took the blame for her. Now I still remember the fragrance of that wine, that is peach blossom drunk.

Later, she was brought back to the palace by Ming Shengdi, and there was a lot of food and wine, but she forgot about it, and now she was aroused by the aroma of the wine, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

Wei Chen nodded, seeing her drink with her head up, a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of her lips, then quickly disappeared, and poured a glass for her with a smile, "You still remember."

While tasting the wine, Xia Zijin said, "Okay, now you can tell me why you are here? You are also the shopkeeper."

Wei Chen smiled to himself, "I was disheartened at the beginning, and I wanted to find a small restaurant in the capital to bend down, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of Yipin Pavilion took me as a waiter, and then the shopkeeper was transferred to the top, Seeing that I was prudent, he promoted me to be the shopkeeper. It is really ashamed to say it."

Xia Zijin drank three or four glasses in a row, flushed on his cheeks, and grabbed the wine glass with his palm, "That's right, Wei Chen, why don't you stay in the capital and continue to be the shopkeeper? Why do you want to go back to Jiangnan?"

Wei Chen smiled and said nothing, and hid the palm holding the flagon for a while, avoiding her fingers, Xia Zijin immediately pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, "Stingy, what's the matter with my princess drinking some wine? Give it to me!"

"Zijin, you're drunk." Wei Chen shook his head helplessly, looking at her ruddy lips, his throat moved involuntarily, and a little greed appeared in his eyes.

Xia Zijin felt hot all over her body, and her mind was in a daze. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xia Shengqing appearing in front of her at some point, swallowed her saliva immediately, stood up, and stumbled towards Xia Shengqing's direction. "Sheng Qing, why are you here?"

Wei Chen saw her rushing towards him, and couldn't help but feel parched, a glint of complacency flashed in his eyes, and when he heard her call Xia Shengqing's name, his heart suddenly became angry.
