Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 4 Zijin's Exploration

The two of them entered the house right now. Xia Shengqing's residence was unexpectedly elegant. There were many phalaenopsis under the window sills. Apart from the quiet orchid fragrance, there was a burst of sandalwood fragrance in the room. A Diamond Sutra and camphor wood bracelets are particularly conspicuous.

The food and lodging of the servants must be arranged according to the palace rules, and the rooms assigned to them are not big. Although Xia Shengqing is a manager, he is still a servant after all. Naturally, the land is not comparable to other nobles, but it is only a narrow square world. But he arranged it in an orderly manner.

"Unexpectedly, Manager Xia also likes to read Buddhist scriptures?" Xia Zijin sat down with her palace skirt, and casually picked up the Diamond Sutra and flipped through it. On the yellowed rice paper was Zanhua Xiaokai, which seemed to be women's characters... …

Xia Shengqing looked natural, put his hands together in his wide sleeves and said: "I have nothing to do, just read it cleanly."

Although he is an eunuch, his voice is not as sharp and high as the father-in-law who has been cleansed next to him, but it is rare and gentle and pleasant to hear. In addition, Xia Shengqing's face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like midnight stars, and his skin is even stronger than that of a woman. A little bit more delicate.

Xia Zijin took a close look at him like this, and felt that he was really good-looking. It would be a pity that he became a eunuch for nothing. If there hadn't been such an accident back then, I'm afraid he would still be a handsome man who attracts women today.

"Why does the princess look at the servant like this?" Xia Shengqing didn't understand, so this princess who came back from the palace is really different. There are many daughters of the emperor, but none of them is as special as her.

"It's nothing... I was distracted just now." Xia Zijin coughed slightly, and glanced away.

Xia Zijin glanced at it, but was attracted by the blue and black square tripod medicine bottle randomly placed on the soft bed. She frowned, and her heart was already suspicious.

She had seen that kind of Fang Ding medicine bottle at Lin Runyu's place in her previous life. Although the medicine box looked inconspicuous, it was a rare item. It was said that the material was precious and worth tens of thousands of gold. Just a little bit of it could heal the scar completely. as ever.

No matter how much Xia Shengqing gained face in front of the saint, she was nothing but a servant. How could there be such a precious medicine?She took a closer look at the medicine bottle, and found that the mouth of the bottle was severely worn, presumably it was used every day.

Xia Zijin was full of sadness, precious medicinal materials, and the smell of blood on his body, it seemed that this Xia Shengqing was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

She thought to herself, in the last life she fell in the hands of that beast like Lin Runyu, and in this life she thought marrying a eunuch would be safe, but if her move is wrong, will she be safe as before?

"Princess, what are your intentions today? The slave is stupid and doesn't know the princess's intentions. You are a golden branch and jade leaf, and you are a good match for the son and grandson. The slave is crippled. I am afraid that you have wronged the princess."

When Xia Zijin was thinking secretly, he heard Xia Shengqing speak. He was restrained, with a respectful appearance, but his back was straight, unlike the obsequious and flattering appearance of ordinary eunuchs.

"Boss Xia, why do you need to belittle yourself? You saved the father, which means you saved this country. Why should I marry you?" Xia Zijin said imperceptibly, got up slowly, and walked into him.

As she approached Xia Shengqing step by step, the bloody smell on his body penetrated into her nose more and more intensely.

Xia Zijin rolled her eyes, and quietly pulled the cloak hanging on her elbow to the ground with her hands, stepped forward, and firmly stepped on the cloak, and threw herself forward.

"Ah!" Xia Zijin pretended to be surprised, called out in a low voice, and threw herself on Xia Shengqing.

Xia Shengqing stood close, and when Xia Zijin's body fell over, there was a moment of amusement in her eyes, but it was fleeting, allowing her to throw herself on the ground.

When Xia Zijin jumped down, her knees pretended to be inadvertently pushed down on him, and her whole body was on the ground with her hands, and the distance between her two faces was only a thin sheet of paper.

"Princess……"

Xia Shengqing's gentle voice rang in her ears, and the heat of his exhalation hit her small and jade-like earlobe, a little itchy.

She felt the touch on her knee, the imaginary object did not exist, Xia Shengqing's body was indeed empty.

Xia Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was too sensitive when she was reborn and thought too much.With so many pairs of eyes in the palace, if this Xia Shengqing was really a fake eunuch, he would have been discovered long ago!
"Boss Xia, I'm so sorry!" Xia Zijin showed an embarrassed smile, but forgot that the two of them were so close now. When they turned their heads, their noses were facing each other, and Xia Zijin's star-like eyes were so close, as if A deep vortex that can suck people into it.

"Princess..." Xia Shengqing said, the woman's fragrance on her body was clear, lingering on the tip of his nose, his eyes fluctuated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xia Zijin was brought back to his sanity by his voice, and only then did he realize that the postures of the two of them are really... ambiguous...

She slowly got up from Xia Shengqing, straightened her slightly messy clothes, and a blush of embarrassment crept up on her face.

"My princess doesn't eat much in the morning. My son doesn't have much energy now, and his steps are not steady. Manager Xia, please don't be offended." Xia Zijin coughed twice and regained her composure.

"Princess, you are serious. You have a body of ten thousand gold. This servant has thick skin and thick flesh. It's okay to fall." Xia Shengqing pursed her lips and shook her head. She patted the dust on her body. He looked calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Boss Xia, since my father has married you and me, then Boss Xia and I are already a half-married couple. There are many details about getting married, and Boss Xia needs to pay more attention to it." She nodded slightly to Xia Shengqing, and went Every word is generous.

"That's natural." Xia Shengqing nodded back and saluted, "If the princess has any orders, send someone to let me know that the South Palace is the place where us servants stay. You are a golden branch and a jade leaf, you shouldn't... If you let the emperor know, I'm afraid It’s going to be harsh.”

Xia Zijin raised her eyebrows, so what about the golden branches and jade leaves, among the high walls and green tiles, the higher the place, the more filthy people and evil people and practices are hidden. Can make people die without a whole body.

But what he said is not unreasonable, he still has to watch the hands of Emperor Shengming survive in this man-eating palace wall, it is always good to be careful.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, the princess will leave now."

She lifted the hem of the plain embroidered skirt and walked out the door, pushing open the old wooden door with her slender fingers, making a creaking sound.

"Princess walk slowly."

Xia Zijin turned her head to look at Xia Shengqing who was standing respectfully, and the corners of her lips curled up inexplicably. Everyone has their own secrets, whether she or Xia Shengqing, they are all just a struggling fish in the palace.

When I returned to the Mosheng Garden where I lived, it was half past [-]th. Xia Zijin was sitting on a wooden bed carved with pineapple, with a soft gauze curtain hanging on a hook polished by white jade. It is made of twisted thread, and it looks like the moonlight when you touch it lightly, which is very beautiful.

"Xiao Kui, take off my makeup." Xia Zijin rubbed her sore shoulders and said wearily.

"Princess, you slipped away without saying a word, so Xiaokui is easy to find!" The maid named Xiaokui muttered while taking off the golden hairpin from Xia Zijin's head and braiding her comfortably.

She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her palm-sized face was already quite pretty. Although she couldn't compare with Xia Zijin, she was still a full-fledged beauty.

"You girl is taking care of this princess." Xia Zijin pretended to be serious, looking at Xiao Kui seriously through the mirror, trying to tease her.Xiaokui was loyal to herself in her previous life, protecting herself everywhere in Prince Lin's mansion, even after she fell out of favor and love, she stayed by her side without any complaints.

I hate Lin Runyu and Bai Pingting, that couple!She let the servants beat Xiaokui to death in front of her face. She still can't forget Xiaokui's sad smile asking her to take care of her before she died, and she still can't forget Lin Runyu's indifference despite her begging.

In this life, she will protect Xiaokui well and never let anyone hurt her again!
"Princess forgive me, princess forgive me!" As soon as Xiaokui heard Xia Zijin's serious tone, she immediately knelt down on the ground with limp legs, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

She was originally a maid in Rui Jieyu's palace, and came to Moshengyuan after being assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the past, Rui Jieyu was a difficult master, and she would beat and scold her when she was not well served. She was finally assigned to Princess Mingzhu. A good master, she was afraid that Princess Mingzhu would send her back if she was dissatisfied.

Xia Zijin burst out laughing, thinking that this girl is really not funny.

"Okay, okay, get up, what are you doing, I'm just joking, look at your little mouth, I'm trying to scare you."

"Princess just makes fun of slaves!" Xiaokui smiled through tears, grinning cutely.

Xia Zijin sighed in her heart how good it is to be young. Although she has a body of 15 years old, she probably already has a heart of dozens of years. The plain towel wiped off the lip balm on the cherry lips, and the delicate beauty's face took on a slightly sick look. This body has been in the brothel for many years, and the nutrition can't keep up. It seems that it needs to be recuperated.

"Princess, do you want to take a bath?"

Xia Zijin nodded, and waved for Xiao Kui to prepare.

She rubbed the center of her brows, the thoughts in her mind were inextricably linked, all kinds of past lives were still vivid in her mind, but the vivid people and scenes in front of her reminded her that rebirth was not a dream.She was 15 years old this year, and it was not too late for everything. Starting from marrying Xia Shengqing, she wanted to live a different life!

The corners of Xia Zijin's lips were lightly raised, and she already had her own plan in mind. She is a rootless tree with no support and no support. If she wants to change her weakness, she must first rely on a big tree. The emperor can't count on it. Yes, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, the only big step she can take now is...

The Liu family, the family of her mother and concubine.
