Chapter 64: Xingshi asks for sin
Xia Jinse became curious, there are still things that Lan Beichen can't solve?
"What does the emperor want to ask?"
Emperor Yuanqing hesitated, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "If it is...... Woman's birthday, this ...... What should she give to make her happy? ”
Could it be that the emperor wants to give a birthday gift to which concubine? The queen or the concubine, or someone else?
Winning the emperor's heart like this, this person is not simple!
Xia Jinse was about to ask a few more questions, such as this woman's preferences, age, etc., but Emperor Yuanqing added a few more words: "It must be special, it can't be gold and silver, and her temper is not very good......"
"Ahem!" Lan Beichen suddenly coughed.
Emperor Yuanqing and Xia Jinse turned their heads at the same time, Lan Beichen clenched his fist to his lips, cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is back." ”
Why did you suddenly talk about the Queen Mother?
Xia Jinse's heart moved, could it be ......
Sure enough, Emperor Yuanqing's pupils darkened slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he became irritable, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, enough!" Let's all go out and let me be alone for a while. ”
Gonggong Lu hurriedly came over and glanced at Xia Jinse, although she didn't know what was going on, she could only retire to Emperor Yuanqing and leave the imperial study.
Lan Beichen and Xia Jinse came out together, and as soon as they went out, Xia Jinse stared at him: "What did you interrupt just now, what if the Queen Mother is back, could it be that the emperor gave a gift to the concubine, and the Queen Mother should also be blamed!?" ”
"You know what?" Lan Beichen walked with his hands in his hands, took a few steps down the steps, and walked in front of her.
Xia Jinse's curiosity was like being scratched by a cat, this is the emperor's gossip, she leaned over and grabbed Lan Beichen's sleeve and asked, "If I don't understand, just tell me!" The emperor was going to say it just now, but I interrupted you. ”
She licked her face and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Which concubine is it? ”
Lan Beichen stopped and stared at her with a pair of wide eyes: "Are you so curious?" ”
"Say it!" She shook his sleeve.
A hand suddenly stretched out and pinched Xia Jinse's face: "Inquire about the palace, are you really bold and want to be beheaded?" Lan Beichen frowned, his tone seemed to warn her, and his eyes seemed to be smiling, but with a bit of banter.
"Let's wait until you're a royal."
As soon as he pinched his hand, he quickly retracted it, and Xia Jinse, who was fast, didn't even react.
When he felt some pain on his face, Lan Beichen had already walked away.
Touching his face, Xia Jin stomped his foot angrily: "You ...... person" Why are you pinching her, does he understand what such an intimate act means? If you are seen, you may misunderstand something!
There is also that sentence, what royal person, does he also think that she wants to marry the prince?
Looking at his distant back, Xia Jinse chased after him, but he was embarrassed to walk side by side with him. An inexplicable heartbeat surged up, and Xia Jinse discovered that Lan Beichen was also quite attractive for the first time.
The figure is so good, tall and straight, it must be very comfortable to hold. Long hair is elegant, just looking at the back, it is worthy of the words 'fluttering like a fairy'. The identity is also transcendent, the dignified nine princes, the position is high and powerful, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor, but I am afraid that he has a lot of admirers, right?
Did he get married, why didn't he listen to him?
Xia Jinse frowned, didn't Lan Beichen have a hidden disease, I don't think any woman would dare to marry him, right? It's a pity, how can such a good man become a short-lived ghost?
Just thinking about it, Xia Jinse suddenly ran straight up and bumped into a sturdy thing, and she covered her nose in pain, and sighed.
"Why do you walk without looking at the road, blindly?" Lan Beichen turned around, as if he was a little complaining.
"Who made you stop suddenly!" Xia Jinse rubbed her nose and said angrily, fortunately, she was stable and fast, otherwise she would have almost fallen.
After such a distraction, Xia Jinse completely forgot what he wanted to ask.
The two waited for a while, and after a while, Grandpa Lu came with a few little eunuchs holding trays and a middle-aged man.
Xia Jinse looked at the tray and saw that the whole five thousand silver, all of which were hers, smiled happily.
Father-in-law Lu smiled again and said, "Miss Xia, this is the deputy manager of Shangshan in the imperial dining room." From now on, he will be in charge of your food, and there are two other kitchen servants, who will be given to Miss Xia at the same time, so he will serve you more thoughtfully. ”
When Xia Jinse heard this, she was flattered, and actually gave her the Shangshan deputy package? What an honor!
……
Xia Xiangfu is brewing a storm.
Xia Yanxiu sat in the flower hall, his face was gloomy, listening to Xia Mengyao's cry of pain in his ears, Zhao's chatter, and his heart became more and more irritable.
When such a thing happened, he knew that the palace must have been shaken at this time, the queen mother and the queen were assassinated by a group of men in black, and there were so many ministers' daughters, so rampant, which side did it? What is the purpose?
Recently, there have been frequent incidents, as if the mountain rain is coming, Xia Yanxiu is already suspicious, and now he is secretly guessing.
Over the years, it has all relied on his prudence and never standing in line, coupled with the merits of the old man of the Xia family, which has led to his current status. But he had a little bit of a move, and the forces of all sides began to fluctuate.
He can't go wrong at a critical time, he must be careful!
"Ahh Xia Mengyao exclaimed, her face was pale, and tears were about to come out.
Before, outside, there were so many female dependents of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, no matter how much pain she had, she could only hold back. When she returned home, she couldn't help but cry out loud.
"Mother, my hand...... Lots of blood......"
"Meng Yao, don't cry, Dr. Sun has given you medicine!" Zhao hurriedly grabbed her and didn't let her move.
There was no medicine in the temple, so it could only be hastily bandaged, and after one night, Xia Mengyao's arms were swollen, like a ripe pig's trotters. The wound was even more bloody and fleshy, red and swollen, and already somewhat inflamed.
Doctor Sun hurriedly gave her medicine, but Xia Mengyao kept moving around, crying louder and louder, hearing Xia Yanxiu's face becoming more and more heavy, and finally roared angrily: "Shut up, cry what are you crying, you should be lucky if you don't die!" ”
Xia Mengyao's frightened cry stopped abruptly, twitching and sobbing, and only after half a sound did she say pitifully: "Mother~~~!" ”
With this teary-eyed look, Zhao was distressed, and complained: "Master, don't yell at Meng Yao, if it weren't for Xia Jinse's girl who deliberately made it bad, how could she be cut by the gangsters?" You see it's all hurt like this! ”
"Dad, big sister is too much......" Xia Ruxue, who was sitting on the side, also opened her mouth, she touched the green bag on her forehead, and her aggrieved eyes were red.
Looking at his most beloved second daughter's blue nose and swollen face, the third daughter was also miserable, Xia Yanxiu turned around and was angry again.
This Xia Jinse thought that she would be able to settle down for a few days, but she didn't expect to be so vicious.
A few maids are fine, but her sister is injured and hurt, does she still look like an eldest sister? I'm afraid that I can't wait for my two sisters to die in the hands of gangsters, and the position of the princess will be her!
"This rebel girl, when she comes back, the old man has to teach her a good lesson!" Cheyenne slammed the table.
"Dad, it's the big sister, she wants to kill me!" Xia Mengyao added another sentence, she really wished that Xia Jinse would be beaten to death, so she was relieved.
At this moment, Wu Qiang, the new steward of the outer courtyard, came: "Master, the eldest lady is back." ”
Zhao's eyes lit up, and he finally came back!
Xia Yanxiu clenched his fists and snorted: "Don't bring her in yet!" A fierce light has burst into his eyes.
Who knows, I heard a burst of talking from afar, mixed with the voice of a male duck who is neither male nor female, and people came to talk and laugh into the flower hall. When he saw his appearance clearly, Xia Yanxiu was full of anger and stood up busily: "Gonggong Lu, why are you here?" ”
"I've seen Xia Xiang, and the miscellaneous family was ordered to send Miss Xia back." Grandpa Lu smiled and arched his hand.
"Father, my daughter is back." Xia Jinse stood next to him and blessed his body.
Father-in-law Lu praised: "Xia Xiang doesn't know, Miss Xia is not chaotic, bravely saved the queen mother and the queen mother, and saved so many people's lives. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man next to him: "Also, this is Lord Ping, the deputy director of the imperial dining room, the emperor specially gave it to Miss Xia, and from then on, Lord Guan will be responsible for Miss Xia's food." Lord Xia Xiang, isn't this a great thing? ”
Not only Xia Yanxiu, but even the Zhao family, Xia Mengyao, and Xia Ruxue were stunned.
Xia Jinse went to the palace, but instead of being punished, he brought back a reward? Moreover, this time the emperor even gave her the imperial kitchen! In other words, from now on, Xia Jinse can enjoy the emperor's treatment when he eats!
Xia Yanxiu couldn't believe it, but the imperial chef was standing in front of him, and he shouted 'Xia Xiang' at him, and he had to believe it.
"The emperor, the emperor, this is ...... Am you mistaken? ”
Father-in-law Lu smiled: "How could the emperor be mistaken?" Xia Xiang, you shouldn't be too happy, right? ”
Xia Yanxiu reacted, and the anger that wanted to erupt had to be held back in his heart, and he had to squeeze out a little smile: "Yes, yes, the appearance is too unexpected, thank you for the emperor's love for the little girl, and thank you for your father-in-law Lu after he goes back." ”
Father-in-law Lu should say: "Xia Xiang, you have a good girl, and the miscellaneous family can't envy it." ”
"Hehe, Grandpa Lu laughed." Xia Yanxiu listened to it so awkwardly, but he had to smile all over his face.
When he saw the Zhao family and the others next to him, Father-in-law Lu was slightly surprised: "Yo, how are the two young ladies...... Hurt like this? ”
Xia Ruxue suddenly turned her head in shame, feeling remorseful.
If she hadn't wanted to use her injuries to get her father to punish Xia Jinse severely, how could she come out to meet people like this? But he was seen by Gonggong Lu, if he went back and muttered a few words in front of the emperor, wouldn't she lose more than she gained?
Xia Mengyao was diametrically opposed, and she was about to cry when she opened her mouth: "Father-in-law Lu, it's all big sisters, she ......"
Zhao hurriedly pinched her in fright: "Don't talk, didn't you see the doctor dressing you with medicine?" ”
Father-in-law Lu, who is an ordinary person, where can he not see the greasy in it? He pretended not to understand anything, asked the little eunuch accompanying him to send the reward over, and said hello to Xia Jinse, and then returned to the palace to resume his life.
Even at this time, Xia Yanxiu couldn't trouble Xia Jinse, and the imperial chef was there!
It wasn't until he asked his subordinates to arrange for the imperial chef and others to go to Xia Jinse's Begonia Garden, and the reward was also sent over, and it took a long time to toss before he was finished.
Xia Jinse was about to go back and change his clothes, but Xia Yanxiu's face finally sank: "Stop!" ”
