"Yes, yes, but..." The eunuch hesitated and glanced at Emperor Shunde's expression.
"Just what? Hesitant."
"Yes... but the girl said she had a rash, but it's not contagious. She has been wearing a veil, and I'm worried that it would disturb the emperor."
After saying this, the eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Emperor Shunde frowned slightly, "Red rash, that's quite a coincidence, it didn't appear earlier or later, but it appeared right after I came to the palace."
"this……"
"Since it's not contagious, you should call it over so I can reward it in person."
"yes!"
Eunuch Su Dequan trotted to the imperial kitchen. Xia Jinxiu was already getting a little impatient waiting.
The snacks were ready, but they still wouldn't let her leave.
"Eunuch, can I leave now?" Xia Jinxiu asked hurriedly when she saw that Su Dequan knew that he was the one going to report to the emperor.
She also knew that this was a popular person around the emperor.
Of course it was Wen Heng who said that.
"Oh, Miss Xia, other people may not be able to come to the palace once in their lifetime, but you are so eager to leave after you come."
Xia Jinxiu smiled and thought to herself, if she didn't leave, was she waiting to be seen by the emperor and become his concubine?
"Your blessing has come."
Xia Jinxiu was startled when she heard this. "What kind of blessing? Father-in-law, I am just a country boy. Just tell me what you have to say."
Su Dequan smiled and said, "The emperor wants to see you."
Is this a blessing?
This is fucking bad luck!
Although Xia Jinxiu doesn't curse people very often, it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to do it. She cursed all the dirty words in her heart.
But she couldn't show any disgust on her face.
After all, he is the emperor.
Fortunately, Zhiluo that girl is smart.
"Eunuch, you are right. It is a blessing. But... I am afraid that my rash will scare the emperor."
"It's okay. My family has told the emperor." Su Dequan sneered in her heart. The emperor wanted to reward her because the snacks she made were really good. Did she really think that the emperor would like a country woman like her?
But he also had to adapt to different people. Now that the Xia family had gotten close to General Wei and had shown up next to the Queen Mother, he didn't want to make things too embarrassing.
"When you meet the emperor later, tell him whatever he asks you. Don't tell him anything he doesn't ask. You'd better keep the veil on."
Xia Jinxiu took a deep breath and said, "I will listen to you, father-in-law."
The little girl was right. She handed the silver that she had prepared long ago to Su Dequan and said, "Eunuch, I don't know anything and I can't do anything. Thanks to you for speaking well for me. This is just a token of my appreciation. Have a cup of tea."
Is Su Dequan a person who has never seen money?
The ladies in various palaces had given him many rewards. He felt that the girl from the Xia family was sensible. Although she came from the countryside, she had some sense. After weighing the gifts, he felt that they were not small amounts and were not meant to be given to a beggar.
"Miss Xia, you are too polite. You are a skilled person."
"I can only cook. I can't speak. I still have to rely on my father-in-law."
Su Dequan was not polite, and smiled as he put away the purse. "Miss Xia, what are you talking about? From now on, you will be the daughter of General Wei. General Wei is a great hero of our dynasty, loyal and brave, courageous and resourceful. Although I am not a perfect person, I am also a man of courage. I really admire him."
Xia Jinxiu was born with a clever tongue, and she added a few more compliments to his words, which made Su Dequan very happy.
At the door of the imperial study, Xia Jinxiu was waiting for Su Dequan's reply. Soon Su Dequan came out, gave her a few more instructions, and let her in.
He also had time to look at the things in the thousand-coin bag. Wow, it was not silver, but actually silver.
Miss Xia was very sensible and didn't look down on him.
Xia Jinxiu took a few deep breaths, then knelt on the ground and said, "I, Xia Jinxiu, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Emperor Shunde glanced at her. She was covered with white sand, leaving only a pair of eyes. Her eyes were bright, but the swelling around them obscured much of their brilliance.
"Isn't Xia Zhiliao that girl very powerful? Why didn't she check your rash for you?"
Xia Jinxiu didn't dare to look up. She felt that the strong sense of oppression was almost making it difficult for her to breathe.
She really doesn't understand. Wouldn't she get sick facing a man like this all day long?
What good is it even if you are powerful if you live in fear?
People still have to live freely.
"Your Majesty, I have checked it and applied medicine. I cannot eat walnuts. Yesterday I tried a walnut bun to see how it tasted, and that's when I got the rash."
Emperor Shunde glanced at the walnut bag on the table and asked, "You ate it even though you knew you couldn't eat it?"
"Your Majesty, I was very nervous when I learned that I had to come to the palace to make snacks for the Empress Dowager. I was afraid that the food would be unpalatable and disappoint the Empress Dowager."
"You are thoughtful. If it is still red after applying the medicine, it may be that the medicine is not working well. Su Dequan, go and ask the imperial physician to come and check on Xia Jinxiu."
"yes!"
He is indeed an old fox. He said he was going to diagnose me, but in fact he was just afraid that I was lying.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Only at this time did Xia Jinxiu dare to look at Emperor Shunde. He was in his forties, exuding some elegance and was considered good-looking.
But there are many good-looking men in the world, and Xia Jinxiu also feels that men should not be judged by their appearance.
If he didn't have the identity of an emperor, he would just be a clean uncle.
Before the imperial physician came, there were only Xia Jinxiu and Emperor Shunde in the imperial study. Emperor Shunde reviewed the memorials calmly. Xia Jinxiu felt uneasy at first, but then she thought that since she was not trying to please him, it didn't matter what impression he had of her, as long as she didn't offend him.
“Have you read a book?”
When Xia Jinxiu was distracted, she suddenly heard the voice of Emperor Shunde.
Xia Jinxiu shook her head. "I have never been to school. I only know a few words."
Emperor Shunde said nothing more.
When the imperial physician arrived, Xia Jinxiu took off her veil as instructed. The densely packed red rashes looked really scary.
Emperor Shunde just took a glance and quickly looked away. Then he asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine and asked Su Dequan to send Xia Jinxiu back.
When Xia Jinxiu returned to the general's mansion, the whole family surrounded her.
"Jinxiu, are you okay?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Xia Jinxiu curled her lips, "What's the matter? Mom, who wouldn't feel disgusted when seeing a face like mine?"
Xia Jinheng laughed, "It's true."
As a result, one can imagine, after being hit twice by Xia Jinxiu's fists, the siblings got used to the quarrels between them.
"Is the emperor okay?" Old Lady Xia asked again.
"Mother, what kind of beauties has the emperor not seen?"
Old Madam Xia smiled. Even as a mother, she couldn't praise her daughter for being pretty. "Look at you. You've got a rash all over your body from eating so much."
Xia Zhiliao was laughing secretly on the side. She didn't know that in fact everyone in the Xia family knew that it was her who was behind the trouble. It was just a tacit understanding among everyone.
