Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 59 The Conspiracy of Minhui Village
Xiaokui buried her head in writing, while Xia Zijin stretched her hands to read. In such a cold winter day, the stove was burning with silver charcoal, emitting crackling sparks, and the fragrance of goose pears in the incense burner wafted leisurely into the room, making it very comfortable. Cozy.

There were a few knocks on the door of the house, Xiaokui put down the brush and walked to the door in small steps, opened the pineapple wooden door with a creak, and the wind sent a few snowflakes in.

"Boss Xia, it's you." Xiao Kui rubbed her cold arms, smiled, and suddenly saw someone hiding behind Xia Shengqing, and when she saw it for real, her face darkened and she snorted coldly.

Xia Shengqing was aware of Xiaokui's sudden change of face, he looked helplessly behind Fu Ling who was still sticking to him, sent her back several times, and she ran back by herself, like a sticky dog ​​skin plaster, which could not be torn off. Lose.

Xia Zijin raised her forehead to look, and naturally saw Fu Ling who was inseparable from Xia Shengqing, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she felt displeased. Ever since she saw Fu Ling in Xia Shengqing's yard last time, she had already had a lump in her heart. Several times when Xia Shengqing came to look for her, she always turned sideways every time. Finally, she didn't see her last time, thinking that Xia Shengqing had already dealt with this court lady, but she never thought that she would see her again today.

"What are you doing here at our Moshengyuan again? No idler can just step in here at will!" Xiao Kui couldn't compare to Xia Zijin's patience, and she was the most outspoken. Seeing Fu Ling following Xia Shengqing tightly, she was very happy. disgusted.

At first she also thought that Boss Xia and Fu Ling were rivals, but after a few times she could see clearly that Boss Xia also had no way to deal with this woman's stalking.

Xia Zijin also raised her head and looked at Fuling displeasedly. Although she was not disgusted, the meaning in her eyes was clearly expressed.

Fu Ling's eyes flickered, she leaned out from behind Xia Shengqing, and bowed her head to Xia Zijin.

"Princess Mingzhu, this servant has decided to be an ox or a horse to repay Mr. Xia's favor. He is able to serve Mr. Xia, even if he is a slave or a maidservant. He will serve Mr. Xia wherever he goes. Please, Princess Mingzhu, don't blame the slave. , this servant just wanted to do my best to Mr. Xia, and never had any intention of arguing with the princess..."

Fuling spoke in a low voice, but Xia Zijin couldn't feel how aloof she was from the world. Instead, she secretly accused herself of being intolerant.

Xia Zijin couldn't help being amused, Xia Shengqing was an eunuch, not a normal man, could it be that Fu Ling wanted to imitate the aunt and wife in the other family's house, and served Xia Shengqing in every detail, so that she could ask her for such a title?

"Fu Ling." Xia Shengqing said her name coldly, with a warning in her eyes. Fu Ling confused his relationship with her in front of Xia Zijin again and again, which would have made him very angry. If it wasn't for Yue Jing'an told him not to act rashly, he didn't want to endure this almost crazy woman for a day.

Fu Ling heard Xia Shengqing's cold words, her eyes dimmed a little, she lowered her head and said nothing.

"Forget it, Shengqing came just in time, this princess has something to discuss with you."

Xia Zijin rubbed the corners of her eyebrows and raised her eyes and said, then stopped suddenly, glanced at Fu Ling who was still standing motionless behind Xia Shengqing, and said lightly: "What are you doing in a daze, since you are going to be Shengqing's servant, why not?" Know the rules and wait outside the door."

Fu Ling bit her lip, looked up at Xia Shengqing, but only saw his tough brows and good-looking corners were all facing Xia Zijin, without any intention of protecting herself.

"Slave..."

Seeing Fuling's appearance, Xiaokui was furious, opened the door with a bang, dragged Fuling's arm and pushed her out of the room.

"Slave, what slave, there is no place for you to interrupt the conversation of the masters. Since you want to follow Director Xia with a shameless face, you must know your identity!"

After saying that, Xiao Kui slammed the door of the room with a bang, almost pinching Fu Ling's nose.

There was no Poria cocos in the room, and the smell seemed to be much cleaner. The corners of Xia Zijin's tight lips couldn't help but curl up a little bit, looking at Xiaokui's righteous indignation, and said: "This princess has never seen it before. Xiaokui has such an imposing appearance."

Being teased by Xia Zijin, Xiaokui stuck out her tongue with blushing cheeks and said, "This slave is only a little bit tougher when she speaks for the princess. The princess should not blame Xiaokui for overstepping."

Naturally, Xia Zijin didn't mind that Xiaokui could be tougher. If she could change her temper, other palace people would be afraid of her, so that she wouldn't have to worry about being bullied by her confused temper.

"What do you want the princess to discuss with me?" Xia Shengqing looked into Xia Zijin's smiling eyes, and her mood improved a little. She lifted her front robe and sat on the padded round stool brought by Xiaokui.

Xia Zijin sat up straight, and also remembered the business, put her hands on her knees and said slowly: "My princess heard from Xiao Huanzi that the informant he sent in Xia Ziqi's garden sent news that Yue Guifei and Xia Zi Qi seems to be planning something, and she has been walking around more and more these days. The informant is not high-ranking, and she doesn't dare to rush forward to scare the snake, so she can only listen to the corner outside the room, vaguely hearing something about Minhui Village, something about astrology ..."

"Minhui Village..." Xia Shengqing recited the name silently, searching for related memories in her mind, thinking for a long time, but to no avail.

"Princess, I know this name!" Xiaokui blinked and said, "It's a small village near the moat in the west of the city. It is rich in fruits and vegetables. It is the busiest village in the morning market in Shangjing. When I was a child, I used to be Minhui. People in the village."

Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing nodded thoughtfully, but this village has something to do with Concubine Yue and Xia Zijin's plans?
Xia Zijin couldn't figure out how to write a so-called village, and the word astrology, what kind of direct connection does it have.

"Xiaokui, apart from being rich in fruits and vegetables, what else is more outstanding about that Minhui Village?" Xia Shengqing asked, rubbing her chin. If it was just a village where vegetable farmers lived, it really couldn't be connected with the plan of the two noble concubines. Together.

Xiaokui tilted her head and thought for a while, but she had no clue. She had been away from Minhui Village for ten years, and she even forgot how to get to the village. After all, she couldn't think of anything special.

"Forget it, let's add speculation here, why not go to Naminhui Village tomorrow to find out the truth, if Yue Guifei and Xia Ziqi really have some shady plans over there, there will definitely be some clues left, let's go to the village After a careful inspection inside, you won’t find nothing.” Xia Zijin said, straightening the shawl on her arm, she had a deep feeling that what the concubine Yue and Xia Ziqi did this time would definitely reconcile with herself. Concubine Lian was related. She and Concubine Lian provoked Xia Ziqi, and indirectly spread the rumor in the palace that Concubine Yue was out of favor. It seemed that the two couldn't sit still and wanted to fight back.

This is not bad, she and Concubine Lian went to great lengths to stimulate Concubine Yue and Concubine Yue, just to make them jump over the wall, this time it seems to be quite effective.

"Princess, you should stay in the palace. Tomorrow I will go to Minhui Village for the princess." Xia Shengqing and Xia Zijin thought of getting together, but he also knew that the person the concubine and concubine Yue were going to target this time must be Xia Zijin. It is already a danger for Yue Jing'an to join forces, and it is impossible for him to let her venture out of the palace to investigate again.

"But you will be working in front of the emperor tomorrow, how can you resign rashly?" Xia Zijin said, not wanting to let Xia Shengqing act alone.

Xia Shengqing smiled and shook her head and said, "It's okay, Xiao Xiazi will be on duty for these two days, I just need to get up in the morning and serve the emperor during the morning court, and then I can go out of the palace after the morning court."

"So that's how it is, that princess will go with you too." Xia Zijin raised her eyes and curved her lips.

"Princess, golden branches and jade leaves, how can you be so tired? I will definitely find out for the princess. Don't worry, the princess will wait for the news in the palace." Xia Shengqing didn't make any concessions, so they still don't know what's going on in Minhui Village. If Concubine Yue What trap did the two of them set up in the village? Wouldn't it be dangerous for him to take Xia Zijin with him?

Xia Zijin waved his hands and said, "What's the matter, the journey to the west of the city is only two or three hours long, and it's not too bumpy or tiring. How can this princess be so delicate?"

"Can……"

Before Xia Shengqing could say the following words, a slender finger lay across his lips, Xia Zijin squinted her beautiful eyes, and said cheerfully: "If you say to let this princess stay in the palace, this princess I'm going to sneak out before you leave the palace."

Xia Shengqing nodded dumbfoundingly. There was nothing she could do about Xia Zijin. Since she couldn't talk to him, she had to go to Minhui Village to take care of Xia Zijin tomorrow. He would definitely not let her have any accidents.

Xia Shengqing's compromise made Xia Zijin a little bit playful, she bent her crescent-like eyes and smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and told Xiaokui next to her, "Go and feast my father in the warehouse for this princess." Take the nanmu camphor letter that was rewarded."

Phoebe camphor handwriting is taken from the thickest branch of an ancient tree that has been tens of thousands of years old, polished to make balls of equal proportions, soaked in oil cedar for several months, and then buried in the roots of the ten thousand-year-old tree The aura of the tree is absorbed in the tree for several months, and the defective products are discarded, leaving only the most lubricious and fragrant balls. Drill holes on them and string them into a string of letters. The fragrance penetrates into the center of the ball and will last forever.

"Shengqing, I remember seeing a few Buddhist scriptures when I was among you for the first time. I thought that you might be interested in the items for cultivating health and nature. I heard that the Phoebe Camphor Handbook can improve Qi and nourish nature. I have always given it to Sheng Qing." Sir is very good."

Xia Shengqing was a little taken aback, those Buddhist scriptures belonged to Yue Jing'an, not him.But he couldn't explain it when he put it down, so he could only respond with a smile. Looking at Xia Zijin's crescent eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He was sincere to her, but he couldn't be completely honest with her. She has so much, I don't know if she will be disappointed in him.
