Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 36

The queen mother looked at Bai Pingting slowly, since Bai Pingting's faux pas at Xia Zijin's welcome banquet, she was already very dissatisfied with this niece.Now it has been confirmed that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. With a role model like Liu's, it's no wonder that she has been taught so badly.

When Bai Pingting heard the Queen Mother's sudden cold words of alienation, she was startled, she knelt up straight in timidity, not daring to vent her anger, and said weakly, "Yes...the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager's complexion softened a little, and she picked up the teacup again, skimming off the froth again and again.

Bai Pingting didn't know why, but she was also worried about Mrs. Liu's affairs. She waited and waited. The Empress Dowager just sipped her tea blindly, but didn't have the slightest intention to speak.

"What else do you need?" The queen mother raised her head and glanced at Bai Pingting, the impatience and disgust in her eyes were obvious.

"The Empress Dowager... about my mother... have you persuaded my father to take my mother back?" Bai Pingting hesitated, looking timidly into the empress dowager's downcast eyes, her heart beating like a drum.

The Queen Mother threw the teacup out of her hand with a bang, the tea splashed all over Bai Pingting's face, and the rich tea smell radiated in the air, and there were still a few pieces of soaked tea leaves sticking to the hem of Bai Pingting's clothes. It's really embarrassing.

"Bai Pingting, don't forget your identity. Although you are the niece of the Ai family, you are also Run'er's concubine, and even a junior. The Ai family is the empress dowager, how can you be ordered around by you?"

The Empress Dowager pointed and drank angrily, and became even more disgusted with her. She stroked her chest and said, "Mr. Liu is to blame. She poisoned and killed the wife of an important minister in order to rise to power. How can the Bai family tolerate such a sinister and vicious woman?"

Bai Pingting's face collapsed immediately, now that even the Empress Dowager can't get through, then Liu Shi really has no way out if she wants to return to Bai's house.But in her heart, she was more sad for herself, and she was charged with the crime of abandoning a daughter. How could she hold her head up in front of the concubines in the palace?

"You are a descendant of our Bai family. Don't learn Liu's pickling methods. There are many people in Run'er's backyard. If you follow suit, don't blame the Ai family for not thinking of our family relationship!" Queen Mother Repeated word by word, although the pair of phoenix eyes are already wrinkled, they are still clear. She is warning Bai Pingting to know how to behave in Lin Runyu's backyard, and she is the only one who gets the position of side concubine. It's their own fault, no wonder who will go.

Bai Pingting's shoulders were already trembling violently, she nodded repeatedly, very obedient, afraid that the Queen Mother would classify herself with her mother Liu Shi.She has already lost the support of the Liu family in the White Mansion. If she loses the big tree that the Queen Mother relies on, she will be in the Lin Palace in the future.

However, the queen mother did not do what she wished. She only heard the queen mother rubbing her temples and said coldly: "It's good to understand, the Ai family is also a little tired, so you can step back. If the Ai family does not call you , you are not allowed to come to the Shoukang Palace of the Ai family without permission!"

Bai Pingting was stunned, the Queen Mother's words made it clear that she wanted to draw a line with her.She watched dumbfoundedly as the queen mother dragged her palace skirt and walked slowly into the inner hall, leaving her alone kneeling on the ground where the tea was sprinkled all over the place.

She got up from the ground in a trance, and the goose feathers and snow outside the hall were fluttering, and she seemed to be fluttering like this in the future, suffering through the day.

Some people are happy and some are sad, Bai Pingting is full of sorrow, but Xia Zijin is happy.

She was resting on the warm antler leather cushion, and after listening to Xiao Huanzi's report about Bai Xianren's divorce and Bai Pingting's departure from Shoukang Palace, she felt very good.

"Well done, Xiao Huanzi, you have made great contributions to Mrs. Liu's affairs, and this princess will definitely reward you well." Xia Zijin smiled slightly.

She has always treated her servants with kindness, not to mention such confidantes as Xiao Kui and Xiao Huanzi. Not much.But in the past six months since her rebirth, she has also clearly known that Xiao Huanzi is a loyal and available person, so she can't help but pay more attention to him.

"The princess deserves the prize. Xiao Huanzi is the princess's servant. Naturally, he has to serve the princess. He can't count as meritorious service, and he dare not ask the princess for a reward!" Xiao Huanzi scratched his head and laughed happily. He is a loyal person. When meeting a master like Xia Zijin who neither beats or scolds his slaves, but is friendly with Yan Ruise, he naturally serves him attentively.

"You can't say that, this princess keeps her word, and if she says I will reward you, I will reward you!"

Xia Zijin raised her eyebrows, took out a dark purple embroidered brocade pouch from her sleeve, and handed it to Xiao Huanzi.

"There are two 5000 taels of banknotes inside, you can use them to buy a wedding room for your younger brother."

Xiao Huanzi was stunned for another moment, and stretched out his hands to hold the light brocade bag, but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties, he hesitated and said: "Princess... how do you know..."

Xia Zijin shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and said: "Xiaokui told this princess that you have been moaning and sighing outside the corridor these days and nights, and you will know the reason after asking her."

In fact, she knew from her previous life that Xiao Huanzi was also a poor person. Her mother had two children but couldn't afford them, so she had to sell the older Xiao Huanzi to the palace as a servant.That's all, but his mother is a very eccentric person. She often begs for money from Xiao Huanzi to subsidize her younger son. It's the same this time. The younger son wants to get married, but he can't afford a wedding house. , Come to ask Xiao Huanzi again.

"1 taels of silver, half of it is enough for your younger brother to buy a yard with three entrances and three exits, and an acre of land, so that you and your mother can be self-sufficient for the rest of their lives, and you can keep the rest for yourself. This time After giving them the money, draw a clear line, if they haunt you like vampires all your life, do you still want to live?" Xia Zijin persuaded patiently, if it was someone else, she would have no time to worry about it. It's just that now she also regards Xiao Huanzi as one of her own, so she kindly mentioned something.

In Xiao Huanzi's eyes, Xia Zijin has become a luminous existence. Since he was sensible, he has been alone. Even his relatives only regard him as a tool for making money, without any family affection at all.Now, Xia Zijin, who is as noble as a princess, helps him like this, 1 taels of silver, even if he works in this palace all his life, he will not be able to earn so much silver.

"Princess...there are too many...Little Huanzi can't take it!" He sniffed his nose, and his eyes were filled with heat. It was the blessings he had cultivated in several lifetimes to meet such a good master.

"I'll take it for you, get rid of your troublesome suffix as soon as possible, and then take care of this princess with peace of mind. Mosheng Garden is your home, and this princess and Xiaokui are both your family members. You can save yourself from being driven around blindly?" Xia Zijin said slowly.

Xiao Huanzi couldn't believe his ears, and it took him a long time to understand what kind of honor Xia Zijin's words meant, family, that was the warmth he had never imagined, but in this Mosheng Garden , he really felt the warmth and enthusiasm.He nodded heavily, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Xia Zijin.

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness. The person who is the princess in this life will be the princess' ghost in death!"

Xiao Kui, who entered the room with the white fungus soup, happened to hear this sentence, and burst out laughing.She put down the plate, served Xia Zijin with a bowl of hot white fungus and lotus seed soup, and said, "The princess doesn't want your people. The princess has enough to take care of Mrs. Xia!"

A sweet scent emanates from the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the white-glazed porcelain bowl, and the hot mist surrounds the tip of Xia Zijin's nose, dyeing her pink face a little red.

After hearing this, Xiao Huanzi covered his mouth and laughed in a low voice, begging for mercy, and said: "This slave is a slip of the tongue, this slave is a slip of the tongue! Don't blame the princess, don't blame Mr. Xia!"

Seeing Xiaokui and Xiaohuanzi singing together, Xia Zijin couldn't help being amused, and pretended to be angry and said, "Well, you two, how dare you join hands to make fun of my princess, let's see if this princess will teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, Xia Zijin raised his palm, pretending to hit Xiaokui and Xiaohuanzi, and the three of them chased around the room like children, laughing.

"Princess, spare my life, princess, spare my life, Xiaokui dare not laugh at the princess anymore!" Xiaokui dodged with her skirt lifted, but there was a smile on her face.

"You girl is getting more and more tricky, this princess will definitely treat you well if I catch you!" Xia Zijin chased after her, and said angrily.

At this moment, she was arguing with Xiaokui, but when she ran forward, she bumped into a soft chest. She raised her head in a daze, and saw a three-dimensional and handsome face, with a pair of eyebrows and eyes like Han Xing, with thin lips like cherry red, and a straight nose like the perfect creation of heaven.

"Shengqing, why are you here..."

Xia Zijin rubbed his forehead, his face blushed inexplicably, and it was the same when he looked at Xia Shengqing again, the two of them were so close, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked at each other and smiled.

"Look, Xiaohuanzi, the princess and Boss Xia have a tacit understanding!" Xiaokui pushed Xiaohuanzi with her elbow, and the two of them winked for a while.

Xia Zijin moved her body away from Xia Shengqing's chest, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. I don't know if it was because of running just now, or because of Xiaokui's teasing.

Xia Shengqing coughed twice, and said, "Princess, I'm here to announce the good news."

"What happy event?" Xia Zijin also calmed down and asked curiously.

"Mr. Anqi from the Liu family returned to the imperial court today. He won a great victory in the Western Regions. He even took the head of the enemy leader himself. The emperor gave him many things. He named Mr. Anqi the captain of the hussars. .”

When Xia Zijin heard this, her face was filled with joy. She knew that with Liu Anqi's ability, as long as he was allowed to lead troops, he would definitely become famous in the first battle in the Western Regions, but she didn't want Liu Anqi's meritorious service to be greater than she expected. be quick.
