Xianghui never expected that Xie Mingxi would suddenly ask questions.
She lost her previous dignity and self-control, her expression showed a trace of hesitation, and she did not speak for a long time.
Xie Mingxi did not urge her and continued to drink tea slowly.
The tea leaves in the prince's residence are all gifts from the palace and are extremely rare treasures. The tea we drank today is Yuqian Longjing. There are four kilograms in total in the residence.
Xie Mingxi ordered people to send two kilograms to Lianchi Academy to honor his master. He often ordered people to make a pot of tea, and the tea was fragrant and fragrant.
After a while, Xianghui sighed softly: "How can I not know how Eunuch Wei treats my slave? I am not a piece of wood."
"I have been in the palace since I was a child, and have long lost contact with my family. In these years, I have been ordered by Concubine Mei to serve His Highness the Seventh Prince. His Highness is generous to others and regards this servant as his confidant. I feel grateful to His Highness for his respect, and I have already made up my mind.
I will never marry in this life, and will always serve His Highness."
"I don't mind that Eunuch Wei is a chamberlain. I have made up my mind that I don't want to get married, and I have no plans to have children. It doesn't matter whether I am a chamberlain or not. It doesn't matter if we keep each other company."
"It's just that Eunuch Wei is the adopted son of Eunuch Lu, and he is also the spy sent by the emperor to His Highness. If I become a companion with him, how should I deal with myself in the future? How should I get along with Eunuch Wei?"
"If one day, His Highness and the Emperor have a bad fight, Eunuch Wei will stand on the Emperor's side. And the servants will never betray their master."
"With our status, how can we eat in pairs?"
Speaking of it later, there was a hint of regret in Xianghui's voice.
If Eunuch Wei did not have this status, she would have already accepted Eunuch Wei's overtures.
It is extremely common in the palace for a palace maid to be reluctant to leave the palace to get married, and to have meals with her chamberlain. Eunuch Wei is young and handsome, has a wealthy private house, is funny and considerate, and there is nothing to fault in his attentive treatment of her.
However, the two people have different positions, so they can just deal with each other on weekdays, but it is absolutely impossible to become a rival.
After thinking about it, Xianghui no longer hesitated and said respectfully: "I don't want to eat with Eunuch Wei in pairs. If Eunuch Wei mentions this matter to the master, I kindly ask the seventh prince to make the decision."
Xianghui is eighty-eight years old this year, so she is no longer young. However, she has a light body, beautiful appearance, and a smile on her lips all the year round. She looks like a beautiful woman in her tenth year.
At this time, Xianghui knelt in front of Xie Mingxi, her pretty face full of determination.
Xie Mingxi looked at Xianghui intently for a moment: "Xianghui, have you really thought about it clearly?"
Xianghui responded without hesitation: "Yes, I have already figured it out. Master, please help me!"
Ranmo tried his best to plan for himself and wanted to marry high. But Xianghui, in order to be loyal to his master, did not want to be involved with Eunuch Wei. How valuable is this loyalty?
Xie Mingxi's eyes softened a bit, and she said slowly: "Okay, I will make the decision for you."
Xianghui breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
…
In the evening, Sheng Hong came back from the study after reading military books for half a day.
Xie Mingxi came forward with a smile: "Dinner is ready. I was going to the study to call you, but you came back unexpectedly."
Sheng Hong felt a little hot in his heart and held Xie Mingxi's hand with his left hand: "Let's go have a meal together."
After more than 20 days of recovery, most of the injury on my arm has healed. You can't use too much force on your left hand, but simple movements are fine.
Sheng Hong was used to practicing martial arts every day. He couldn't enter the martial arts room for more than twenty days. Apart from rubbing elbows with Xie Mingxi, he could only read military books.
The newlyweds entered the inner room arm in arm affectionately.
Eunuch Wei, who was following closely behind Sheng Hong, intentionally or unintentionally slowed down and walked side by side with Xiang Hui.
Eunuch Wei is three years younger than Xiang Hui, and is twenty-five years old this year. His face is fair and handsome, and there are two smile dimples when he smiles. He looks quite childish and cute.
However, everyone who is familiar with him knows that this Eunuch Wei is quite scheming and good at acting and disguise. He has different faces before and after him.
When facing Xianghui, Eunuch Wei's smile contained nothing but intimacy and affection: "Sister Xianghui is wearing a lotus-colored palace dress today, and she looks particularly beautiful."
Eunuch Wei's aesthetics were obviously deeply influenced by Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu liked Zhilan, who was as beautiful and gentle as a lady. Eunuch Wei's eyes were firmly attracted by the dignified and beautiful Xianghui.
Xianghui smiled slightly: "Thank you Eunuch Wei for the compliment."
Xianghui is always like this, treating others kindly and politely, but never losing her distance.
Eunuch Wei had long been accustomed to Xianghui's temperament, so he didn't notice anything strange about it. He didn't even know that Xianghui had already expressed her determination in front of his master that she would never become a rival to him.
Eunuch Wei has a smooth tongue and is quick to say pleasant things: "You and I have known each other for three years, and we are as familiar as siblings. I call you Sister Xianghui, and you still call me Eunuch Wei. This is too foreign."
.Why don't you just call me by my name, just Wei Dezhong."
It would be better if you could call him Dezhong.
Eunuch Wei thought happily.
Xianghui's dark eyes fell on Eunuch Wei's face, she pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Eunuch Wei is a close servant of His Highness, how dare I call him by his first name."
Before Eunuch Wei could say anything, he smiled again and said, "However, I am quite happy that Eunuch Wei said that we are like siblings. How about we get along like siblings in private in the future?"
Eunuch Wei: "..."
What siblings are the same!
He said this just to get closer! He didn't really want to be her sibling! How could Xianghui be so smart and smart that she couldn't read his thoughts? Saying this now is no different from outright rejection.
Eunuch Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Xianghui..."
"I have to go in and serve His Highness and the Princess." Xiang Hui was still cordial and polite, and even smiled at Eunuch Wei, and then entered the room first.
Eunuch Wei: "..."
…
Two hours later.
After eating, drinking, bathing and changing clothes, all the maids and chambermaids left.
The newlyweds chatted quietly by the candlelight.
Xie Mingxi told the story about Ran Mo: "... This Ran Mo is really getting more and more arrogant. She actually plotted against Xianghui and even tried to ask me to be her matchmaker. It's really ridiculous!"
Sheng Hong's face darkened after hearing this.
Xie Mingxi smiled: "You don't need to worry about this little matter in the inner house."
With Xie Mingxi's methods, it is undoubtedly a trivial matter to "train" Ranmo.
Sheng Hong nodded slightly and said casually: "Eunuch Wei has been listless and forced to smile tonight. I don't know why?"
Eunuch Wei is usually attentive and funny, but tonight he looked like a cabbage that had been damaged by the wind and rain, completely wilted.
Xie Mingxi understood in her heart and smiled lightly: "It must be Xianghui's attitude that made him suffer such a big blow."
