Unable to bear to brush off Su Jiaxin's kindness, Su Ningxin just nodded.
But I thought in my heart, "I have no intention of making friends with them. Friendship is only with those who are similar in strength. To make friends with those whose strength is far different, I need to find a follower or bring a torrent."]
The carriage swayed quickly and arrived at the palace gate. Su Ningxin put on her veil. When she got off the carriage, she saw Eunuch Xia beside the queen waiting to pick them up at the palace gate.
Eunuch Xia was the Queen's confidant, and most of the Queen's affairs would not be hidden from him. Su Ningxin was also familiar with him. She used to say that he had a cold face and looked like a wooden person.
When Eunuch Xia saw Su Ningxin lift the curtain, he subconsciously stepped forward to help her, but when he remembered Su Ningxin's current identity, he stopped moving forward.
After Su Jiaxin got out of the car, she reached out to help Su Ningxin get out of the car, and couldn't help complaining, "Why didn't my sister bring a maid?"
Su Ningxin stretched out her hand, her eyes collided with Eunuch Xia's and then separated, and then she replied nonchalantly to Su Jiaxin, "They are clumsy. I'm afraid they will bump into the nobleman in the palace."
After getting off the carriage, Eunuch Xia saluted the girls and explained that he was here to lead the way. Su Huaxin and Su Yingxin were a little flattered. They did not expect Eunuch Xia to come in person, so they quickly took out their wallets and stuffed money into Eunuch Xia.
When the maid next to Su Jiaxin also stepped forward to stuff her purse, Su Ningxin felt that she couldn't be too independent and should be more gregarious.
Su Ningxin looked at the few gold bracelets on her wrists, planning to pick a smaller one for Xiao Xiazi.
He took off the bracelet and gave it to Eunuch Xia. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiazi shook his head. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were focused on the thickest bracelet on Su Ningxin's wrist.
Su Ningxin: "!!!"
[I didn’t expect you to be such a little Xiazi, that you would actually learn to be greedy for money after not seeing you for a year.]
Su Ningxin decided to bargain with him, "Xia Mu, we are all old acquaintances, don't go too far."
A smile appeared in the deep eyes of Eunuch Xia. He knew Concubine Chen quite well. Like the Queen, she had no airs about servants like them. Concubine Chen also usually rewarded people with a lot of silver, showing her greed for money. The look was probably because she was bored and wanted to collect things.
Most of them, the eunuchs and maids, wanted to see Concubine Chen's painful expression when asking for rewards, so they could have some fun with her, so Eunuch Xia shook his head firmly.
Su Ningxin was so angry that she blew the veil off her face with her breath to express her anger.
[Hey, no, no, that gold bracelet is my favorite.]
Just when Su Ning reluctantly wanted to take off the largest gold bracelet, someone suddenly called Xia Mutou at the palace gate, "
"Eunuch Xia, why did you come to the palace gate?"
Eunuch Xia turned his head when he heard the voice, and after seeing the person clearly, he leaned over and saluted, "I've seen the Crown Prince. The Queen summoned a few girls to the palace for a small gathering, and ordered the servants to pick them up. Has the Crown Prince and the Emperor finished playing chess? "
"I'm not good at chess. I kept losing. The emperor said that I was a bad chess player. My chess skills got worse and worse, so he kicked me out." The man said with a depressed look on his face, but his voice was teasing. mean.
"Your Majesty, you are joking." Eunuch Xia still said with a dull face, without any ups and downs in his tone.
"Your face looks like it's frozen. It's not interesting at all. I'm going to leave first and do your work." The man said, took the horse handed over by the servant, got on it and rode away. .
Su Ning looked at the back of the horse riding away. She always felt that his voice was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before, so she asked, "Who is that?"
"The eldest son of the Wang family in Anjun is named Chu Jihan. He just arrived in the capital a few days ago." Eunuch Xia wanted to tell Su Ningxin all the news about Chu Jihan, but he remembered that there were other people around him, and with Su Ningxin I shouldn't say too much about my current identity. If I say too much, people will be suspicious of me, so I won't say anything more.
Su Ningxin nodded, "Prince Anjun, I think I've heard of it."
Su Huaxin on the side saw Su Ningxin and Eunuch Xia getting close to her but couldn't get a word in. She finally found a chance to speak and said quickly, "I heard that my mother was poisoned in the womb. When she is good, she is just like ordinary people. Once Poisonous hair is like a fierce ghost, and Prince An locked him in the courtyard to prevent anyone from approaching him."
Eunuch Xia glanced at Su Huaxin and said, "Miss Su San, be careful what you say." This short sentence frightened Su Huaxin into silence immediately.
Afterwards, the girls all followed Eunuch Xia obediently, fearing that the smileless Eunuch Xia would lose his temper again, so the other three people did not dare to speak out. Su Ningxin, in order to avoid suspicion, could not speak. I was able to look around myself, and at the same time lamented that I didn't feel anything when I came in by car, but it was really far away when I walked.
As the group was walking, they bumped into another group of people. Eunuch Xia stepped forward and saluted, "I've met Mr. Yan."
Su Ningxin and the others who were following Eunuch Xia also saluted. When Su Ningxin bent her knees, she couldn't help but be surprised, why is it her!
She was still very familiar with this Yan Diejiu. Her father was the Crown Prince and Tutor, and now he was the emperor's master. She and the emperor were also childhood sweethearts. She used to see her often at banquets, but she didn't expect that she would become a noble person.
If she didn't suffer from Alzheimer's disease or paranoia, she remembered that the emperor dismissed the harem a year ago and promised the queen a life-long couple. How come this new person came in just after sending away the old people in the palace
"Get up." Yan Diejiu waved for them to get up, and then asked, "The queen invites someone to hold a small banquet?"
"Yes." Eunuch Xia replied without any unnecessary words.
"I know the two girls from the Su family, but who are these two?" Yan Diejiu asked, pointing to Su Ningxin and Su Jiaxin.
Eunuch Xia took a step forward and blocked Yan Diejiu's finger without leaving a trace. He was doing it for the sake of Yan Guiren. He was not sure whether Concubine Chen would violently hurt someone in the next second and break the Guiren's finger.
Standing between Su Ningxin and Yan Diejiu, Eunuch Xia replied, "They are also girls from the Su family. The eldest girl Su Ningxin was raised in the nunnery since she was a child, and the tenth girl Su Jiaxin has been with Mr. Su San for several years."
Yan Diejiu glanced at Su Jiaxin and then focused on Su Ningxin. He looked around and said in a high tone, "It doesn't look like he was raised in a nunnery, but more like he was raised in a merchant's house."
His gaze fell on Su Ningxin's beautiful eyes for a moment, and then he said, "Why are you still wearing a veil when entering the palace? Do you understand the rules?"
Eunuch Xia said again, "Miss Su can't see the wind on her face. It's the Queen's permission. The Queen is still waiting. If the Queen is impatient, I'll leave first."
