Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 478 Obedience
For this daughter, Ming Shengdi had very complicated feelings. He brought her back originally with the intention of using her to contain King Lin, but he did not expect that she refused to marry and said that she would marry an eunuch.

Although she said it was to repay her kindness, Ming Shengdi was still unhappy with her self-assessment, but what happened later, Xia Zijin showed him her cleverness and filial piety again and again, even he had to Admittedly, Xia Zijin is indeed a favorite.

Ming Shengdi now has a little more sincere love for her. Seeing her coming now, he feels a sense of guilt as a father for a while, and he is unwilling to meet Xia Zijin's eyes.

Xia Zijin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring up this matter, but after a while, Xia Zijin laughed, "Father, my son is here to return."

She pulled out the folder she had prepared earlier from her sleeve, and raised her hands above her head to show her respect.The eunuch immediately took the book from her and passed it to Ming Shengdi. Seeing that the disaster in Yingzhou City had been brought under control, Ming Shengdi heaved a sigh of relief, "The son of the prefect of Yingzhou is actually a sensible man. Let him take full responsibility for this matter, tell him to take the imperial examination next year, and if he is in high school, he will succeed his father. For now, he will act as his substitute."

Unlike his father, this Xiao Fu is very popular in Yingzhou City. If he is asked to continue to manage Yingzhou City, the people will not have much resistance. What's more, he has also made great contributions to this incident. There is nothing wrong with that.

Xia Zijin nodded, "The Shen family donated the most property this time, plus the Shen family donated medicine before, should the father promise to make a long promise, so as not to chill the hearts of the people?"

Ming Shengdi immediately covered his head with a headache, but he nodded to Xia Zijin's earnest gaze. After all, the Patriarch of the Shen family has already entered the Jingwuhou Mansion, and he is considered a half-official family, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Xia Zijin raised the corners of her lips, sat down on a stool beside her, and then cut into the purpose of her visit today, "Father, just after my son came back, I heard that Nine Thousand Years Old fell off a cliff, I don't know if Father sent someone to come To find?"

Ming Shengdi's heart skipped a beat, "Zijin, just as soon as Father found out about this, he asked the Imperial Army to look for him, but there was no trace. If he really can't come back, as a princess, you might as well find another one. You're an eunuch, you're still innocent, you don't have to worry about finding a good family, so don't be too sad."

Xia Zijin was almost annoyed by him, suppressed her anger forcibly, and knelt down on her knees, "Father, although your son is a princess, you also know the principle of marrying and obeying your husband, and daughters should not marry twice. Thousands of years treat my son and minister with deep affection and righteousness, if he dies, the son will not live alone, or will keep the festival for him all his life, so that he can live up to the original words of repayment."

Ming Shengdi was blown bearded and stared at her decisive words. It is shameful for this dignified princess to marry a eunuch. The eunuch died unexpectedly, and it is a great shame to keep the festival for him.But when he saw the stubbornness in Xia Zijin's eyes, he couldn't help sighing, "Then what do you want Father?"

"My son wants my father to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Xia Zijin bit her lip and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head, and said surprisingly, "Sheng Qing has always done things safely, how could he go to the suburban forest without any problems, and still stumble? Entering the cliff, Father thinks about it, if Jiu Qiansui is really an unarmed and cowardly scholar, this method certainly makes sense. She is top-notch, how could she fall off a cliff like a weak little woman?"

After she calmed down, these doubts ran through her mind over and over again.She touched the letter hidden in her sleeve with her palm, and her eyes became more complicated.She received this letter while she was on the road, signed by Yue Jing'an, before she had time to read it, she entered the palace.

It wasn't a day or two that Yue Jingan didn't like her, so why did she send a letter to her suddenly, it was nothing more than for Xia Shengqing's affairs, if she guessed right, Yue Jingan should know something about it.

Xia Zijin bit her lip, her eyes were a little cold.It was the first time Ming Shengdi heard such words, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and remained silent for a while, then he wondered: "After all, these are just your conjectures, if there are any problems, I will investigate them clearly, but... don't be suspicious. "

The last sentence seemed to carry a warning, Xia Zijin nodded disapprovingly, the stone in her heart sank a little, and immediately she got up to leave.

The snow outside had already stopped, but the sky was still overcast and gray, making it hard to see clearly.Just like Xia Zijin's silent mood, the eunuch sent her out. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he hesitated for a moment, and comforted him with a smile, "Princess, don't worry, the auspicious person has his own appearance, so don't worry too much."

"Then the princess will thank the father-in-law for his good words." Xia Zijin blessed Fu's body, put his hand in Xin'er's palm, and she helped him to leave.

She rushed all the way, and the big troops were left behind. Only she, Xin'er, Zhenwen, and Rongyu rushed back to the capital one step ahead. The guards were waiting outside the city gate.

Therefore, only Xin'er accompanied her into the palace, so that now she was weak and unsteady, and when half of her body was pressed against Xin'er, she missed the scene of Xia Shengqing waiting for him outside before entering the palace.

Xia Zijin blinked her eyes, and the teardrops rolled down her eyes. In the cold winter breath, she instantly cooled down. Xin'er turned her head and saw her face full of tears, as if she hadn't realized it yet, and she was panicked. , opened her mouth to call her, but saw her turn her head to look at him, her mouth opened and closed, unable to make a sound.

Xin'er suddenly became anxious, and quickly grabbed her palm, forcing her whole body to lean against her, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Zijin couldn't hear a sound at all, and passed out as soon as she closed her eyes, and she was still holding on to the envelope in her sleeve when Xin'er hugged her and cried, and when she was about to grab her palm and carry her on her back, she just Seeing her palms tightly clutching her sleeves, she couldn't help being suspicious.

At that moment, Xin'er stopped crying, and before the eunuchs and maids in the distance came over, she hurriedly opened Xia Zijin's palm, looked at the envelope inside, hesitated for a moment, then stuffed it into her arms, and read it silently Say sorry.She didn't intend to offend Xia Zijin, but she could read, and Concubine Lian's name was clearly written on it, if someone saw her later...

Xin'er shivered, quickly pressed the envelope on her chest twice, and shouted as she watched the guards running towards her.

After Xia Zijin left, Ming Shengdi called the leader of the Yulin Army, and euphemistically pointed out Xia Zijin's guess, and the leader of the Yulin Army immediately bowed to investigate.Just when he was about to call Concubine Xin over to relax, he saw the eunuch outside rushing in in a panic.

With his expression, Ming Shengdi's temples throbbed with pain, and he just wanted to lie down and rest without seeing anyone.The little eunuch is not one to read facial expressions, he knelt down when he came in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Mingzhu fainted in the palace."

The tiredness in Ming Shengdi's head was suddenly awakened, he stood up with a "teng", and walked out, "What's going on, how come the good-looking people fainted?"

When Xia Zijin woke up, what caught her eyes was the top of the bed made of yellow beams and wooden railings and jade, and beside it was the curtain of the blue sky gauze after the rain. She groaned, and Xin'er, who was guarding outside, immediately turned around and scooped up the bed with a spoon. The curtain was hung on the golden hook of the Double Dragon Opera Bead at the side, "Princess, are you awake?"

"Well, Xin'er, which empress' palace is this?" Xia Zijin coughed, rubbed her stuffy head, and motioned for Xin'er to help herself up.

"Back to the princess, it's in Concubine Xin's palace." Xin'er grabbed her palm, took the soft pillow at her feet and put it on her waist, helped her lean up, picked up the tea that had just been changed on the table and handed it to her. to her.

Xia Zijin took a sip of hot tea, swallowed the tea in his mouth, then pursed his lips, with a trace of interest on his face, lowered his head to look at the ups and downs of the tender buds inside the teacup, and sighed in his heart.

"Xin'er, go help the princess and invite Concubine Xin to come in, and just say that the princess has something to ask." Because in the palace, no one can let others discover her relationship with Qinglian, so she speaks very cautiously.

It's just that Xin'er knows Qinglian's origin, and Zuo Zuo just sold herself to Xia Zijin, and she always feels uncomfortable when she hears Xia Zijin call her so politely.But she just thought about this emotion in her heart, and went out to invite Qinglian to come in.

Qinglian walked in with a nervous mood, and saw Xia Zijin leaning against the head of the bed, looking in the direction of the window, as if in a daze.She walked slowly to Xia Zijin, suppressing her nervousness, "My servant has seen the princess."

"Concubine Xin, you are too polite. Your empress is the most favored in the sixth palace now, but she can't be called a slave." The chill in Xia Zijin's heart was like a tide, hitting her heart wave after wave. She turned her head with a sneer on her face. Looking at Qinglian.

In just a few months, Qinglian has undergone a radical change. Judging by her attire and decorations, she really deserves the title of Demon Concubine.Xia Zijin looked her up and down, but she couldn't connect the person in front of her with the person who had lowered her eyebrows in front of her back then.

Qing Lian's body trembled, her face became erotically pale, her lips twitched, and she let out a dry smile, "Princess's words offend this servant."

"Zhesha?" Xia Zijin sneered, looked at her white nails, and said lightly, "Qinglian, this princess is not a fool, why did you enter the palace, don't, this princess knows more or less, after all, yes This princess doesn't know people well, but although this princess is dull, she doesn't like others to step on her to achieve her goals, so in the future, Concubine Xin should ask for more blessings for herself."

Seeing her changing her address one after another, Qinglian's complexion changed again and again, just as she was about to speak, she saw that Xia Zijin had closed her eyes and waved her hand, so she had to suppress the words in her mouth, blessed her body and withdrew.
