Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 140
The news of Rong Yu and Xia Ziyan's wedding in seven days spread throughout the city, more or less covering up the pre-marriage happiness between the two last night.However, there were still more than ten days to prepare, and all the work schedules had to be shortened by half. For a while, the Rongwang Mansion outside the palace and the Yuehua Palace Lanzhi Garden inside the palace were all busy.

Because of Xia Ziyan's loss of virginity before marriage, although she is already a princess to be married, she still has to abide by the confinement order issued by Ming Shengdi. Let's relax in the yard, and the rest mostly stay in the house and count the days on their fingers.

Yue Jing'an was busy taking care of Xia Ziyan. From the first day, she got up in the morning and was able to rest until lunch time.If Yue Jing'an looked extremely strict in front of Xia Shengqing, then she was completely motherly to Xia Ziyan.

Maybe it's because Xia Shengqing was sent out of the palace under her strict arrangement before she was full-term, and she rarely saw each other once a year, and every time Yue Jing'an saw Xia Shengqing, she couldn't help but think of King Jinlai, of King Jinlai, of King Jinlai. With his current humiliating status beside his husband-killing enemy, it is inevitable that he will be harsh to the only son who can save him from the sea of ​​suffering. He only hopes that one day he can overthrow the country established by the rebellious officials and thieves, and restore the former dynasty.

But Xia Ziyan has a completely different meaning in Yue Jing'an's heart.

Although Xia Ziyan is Xia Chong's daughter, her biological mother, Concubine Chen, is a pure and innocent woman. Under the environment of intrigue in the palace, everyone is hostile to Yue Jing'an, the former concubine of the imperial court, except Concubine Chen. Will always be taken care of.

However, in the cannibalistic harem, innocence is always untenable, and soon the favored concubine Chen died, and Emperor Ming entrusted Xia Ziyan to the childless Yue Jing'an to raise him.

In the beginning, Yue Jing'an just regarded raising Xia Ziyan as a repayment for the concubine Chen's care, but gradually, due to the nature of a woman who loves her children in her bones, Yue Jing'an seems to regard Xia Ziyan as a kind of spiritual sustenance. All the care given to Xia Shengqing was given to Xia Ziyan. During those many lonely moonlit nights, the two depended on each other as companions. For more than ten years, Jing'an had already treated Xia Ziyan as her own daughter.

At this time, Yue Jingan was thinking about the past, standing in front of Xia Ziyan's house and looking at her embroidery, showing a gratified smile, and a little melancholy all her life, worrying that Xia Ziyan's softness and innocence are exactly the same as Chen Concubine Because of her temperament, she will be bullied after marrying into Prince Rong's mansion.Perhaps this is the complicated mood of every mother when she sees her daughter is about to marry a wife.

"Concubine Lian?"

When the palace man saw her, he hurriedly unwrapped his luggage.

Xia Ziyan also raised his head and called her sweetly: "Your Majesty!"

Yue Jing'an smiled slightly, raised her skirt and stepped into the room, lovingly stroking her hair.

"Yan'er is going to get married soon, and I really feel a little bit reluctant in my heart."

Xia Ziyan leaned on Yue Jing'an's shoulder, hugged Yue Jing'an's waist as he did when he was a child, and there was a little water in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is reluctant to part with Yan'er and often calls Yan'er into the palace. Even if she becomes a member of Prince Rong's Mansion, Yan'er is still Your Majesty's daughter."

Yue Jing was very comforting, patted her on the back and sighed, remembering the gossip that was still whispering in the palace, and couldn't help but blame Xia Ziyan a little.

"You, you have been obedient and sensible since you were a child. I think you know how to measure. Why did you become confused when you met Prince Rong's son? You know that the most taboo is for a woman to lose her virginity before the big wedding. Why are you so serious? Confused!"

Xia Ziyan bit her lip, she really blamed herself for not being able to stand up to Rong Yu's request when she mentioned this matter.But later, she was grounded by Ming Shengdi, and after going through the matter again, she found that there was a lot to this matter.

Why did Rong Yu suddenly become lustful and difficult to control, and why did he and Xia Zijin and Xia Ziqi appear at Yuanwei Lake at the same time? The tea mixed with medicine that had been set earlier?
The most suspicious thing is that both Rongyu and Xia Zijin and Xia Ziqi drank tea, but Rongyu had the symptoms of being unable to control his lust, while the other two were just in a coma. How could this make sense?

After thinking about it for a moment, Xia Ziyan decided to tell Yue Jing'an all these things.

"Mother, it's not that Yan'er wants to distinguish for herself, but Yan'er feels a little weird at this time." She lowered her eyes, and carefully told Yue Jing'an about what she had experienced that day and the doubts in her heart.

The more Yue Jing'an listened, the more her brows furrowed. If it was true what Xia Ziyan said, it wasn't because Tong Rongyu didn't hold back on stealing the forbidden fruit this time, it wasn't because she couldn't help it, but because she was deliberately calculated!

Thinking of this, Yue Jing'an's eyes became darker, she held Xia Ziyan's hand and asked, "Do you still remember who first discovered you and Shizi in the room at that time!"

Xia Ziyan thought for a while and said, "It was the fourth princess who discovered it first. She opened the curtain and yelled loudly, and then led Princess Mingzhu and the little eunuch who was serving her over. Speaking of which, the fourth princess looked at Yan'er at that time. It's kind of weird, it seems like it's going to eat people."

What a scheming Yue Jing'an is, after more than ten years of immersion in the palace, she has already understood the tricks of concubines competing for favor.She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then patted the back of Xia Ziyan's hand reassuringly and said, "Yan'er, you can prepare for the marriage with peace of mind, don't worry about the rest, I will investigate this matter for you, if anyone dares If you use this matter to ruin your reputation, I will never forgive her!"

On this side, Yue Jing'an started a secret investigation, while on the other side, Xia Zijin was enjoying himself in the Mosheng Garden.

Because the palace is about to marry a princess, the cooks in the imperial dining room are busy researching new dishes. On the day of the wedding, Emperor Ming Sheng bestowed three imperial chefs in the palace to cook in the Rong Palace. Experiment with the dishes made at the wedding banquet one by one.

This is so cheap, Xia Zijin, those who are rich, the royal chefs will send a copy to each master's womb when they release new dishes, and then add and subtract ingredients according to the master's feedback, and send them to the Mosheng Garden Xia Zijin's new dish is often only dipped in a few chopsticks, and half of it goes into Xiaokui's stomach, so the job of commenting is naturally entrusted to her.

Xiaokui's tongue is very tricky, and she will give feedback on where it is bad or lacking in quality, but the rules in the palace are that maids and eunuchs are not allowed to eat with the master. But it is not publicized to the outside world, so when Xiao Kui gave feedback on the dishes, he would naturally sign under Xia Zijin's identity.The cooks in the imperial dining room saw that Princess Mingzhu's feedback was so on point every day, and they were so happy to send fresh dishes to humbly ask her for comments.

At this time, Xia Zijin was a little dumbfounded when facing the dishes that the royal chefs had just asked the maids to bring to the table. She had already eaten a lot of glutinous rice porridge for dinner, and her belly was a little swollen. How could she eat so many dishes.

She looked at Xiaokui, who was eating happily with a small bowl, supported her forehead and shook her head, "You girl is never restrained. If you eat so much every day, you won't be afraid of eating so much that your waist is thick and your buttocks are round. Is it easy to choose a husband and son-in-law?"

When Xiaokui heard this sentence, she laughed foolishly twice, and then picked up another piece of elbow meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

"The servant will stay by the princess's side for the rest of her life to serve the princess anyway, as long as the princess doesn't dislike the servant with thick waist and round buttocks!"

Xia Zijin couldn't help spitting: "It's disgusting!"

After that, he got up and left the house, and went to the yard to digest food.

"Well, the princess is waiting for the slave!"

Xiaokui put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and hurriedly followed.

The moonlight above the night is like this, and there is a cool wind blowing through the treetops to make the rustling leaves.

Such moonlight should hold hands and wait and see with the person you like to live up to, right?Rong Yu, who came out of Qianqing Palace, looked up at the round of bright and clean above the palace wall and thought to himself.

It's just that there is no one he likes by his side at this moment, and he will forget about that person in the future.

He walked step by step on the dark palace road, and the palace people passing by beside him all saluted him.And he responded lightly, looking at this palace road, he thought of many things with Xia Zijin.

Unknowingly, the surrounding scenery has become a lush and elegant plum forest, but there are no plum blossoms in this season, only lush green leaves are left.It turned out that he didn't know when he walked into the Mosheng Garden.

He stood for a while, feeling melancholy, and was about to walk away, but saw a familiar figure approaching from a distance.

Rong Yu hesitated and hid back for a while, looking at Xia Zijin quietly from behind, she was wearing purple clothes today, very similar to the first time I saw her.He smiled faintly, thinking of the scene when the two met for the first time, he couldn't help but feel stupid.

"Princess, this servant can't move anymore, let's rest here!" Xiaokui muttered holding her round belly.

"You, you are really a reincarnation of a starving ghost!"

Xia Zijin glared at her with feigned anger, and settled down on the stone bench under Mei Lin.

In winter, the flowers in this plum forest are very beautiful, and there are bursts of plum blossoms smelling fragrant. It is the most pleasant place to bask in the sun on a windless morning with a cushion.Summer is a bit worse, without the fragrance of flowers, the shade is good, but it is night now, and only a few birds chirping can be heard in the trees.

"Princess, the Seventh Princess will get married in five days. What gift do you want?" Xiaokui asked while rubbing her stomach.

Xia Zijin thought for a while with his face propped up, and said, "Get ready the gilded colored feather coat in the warehouse, and a pair of red coral bracelets."

"The gilded colored feather coat? Isn't that the reward the princess won during the Boyi banquet? It's the only one in the world. It's so precious. The princess treats the seventh princess so well!" Xiaokui said softly. Liu Yuyi was also given thirty boards by Xia Zijin.
