Chapter 85 The Prince is Careless, the Eunuch is Anxious

Boom boom boom!
Wang Zhixin gently knocked on the door of Xu Jialin and his wife.

creak!

With the door half open, Xu Jialin and Xu Wangshi had been trembling with fear since Crown Prince Zhu Cilang stayed at their house, fearing that something might go wrong and they would not be able to sleep.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, so Xu Jialin closed his clothes and ran to open the door.

"Oh, Eunuch Wang"

Just as Xu Jialing was about to ask for advice, Wang Zhixin came closer and made a gesture to silence him.

Afterwards, he slipped sideways into the room of Jialin and his wife.

Seeing this, Xu Jialin was startled, and hurriedly bowed and stepped aside, not daring to stop him.

After entering the room, Wang Zhixin paced forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, and Xu Wang, who was beside the bed, also hurried over to pay his respects.

"That's all! That's all!"

"You are the host, and we are the ones who are disturbing you!" Wang Zhixin said this with some humility in his words, but his tone was full of contempt.

"Oh, I dare not, I dare not!"

"I wonder what instructions Eunuch Wang has? My husband and I will do our best to serve you!" Xu Jialin seemed quite frightened.

"Well, just know the rules!"

"It's actually nothing serious, just... hehe."

Wang Zhixin's tone was shrill, and he suddenly smiled for no apparent reason, causing Xu Wang, who was kneeling beside him, to tremble all over.

"Your Majesty is a noble prince. You have been traveling in the forest these days and you are very tired. Now that you have entered the town, you can finally recuperate!"

"Come to think of it, this is also a credit to your Xu family!" Wang Zhixin expressed his approval first.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu Jialin agreed nervously, still smiling carefully from the side.

"It's just that this rural area is not like the palace, and I don't have a personal maid to serve me."

"I am just an old slave supporting you, but I always feel that, haha, it's not quite there yet!"

"Just before I came here, I saw your second daughter downstairs. She's pretty good, and I think the prince will like her. In my opinion, in a hurry, we can skip the complicated rules. Go and tell the girl to wash up and go to the prince's room to serve her later!"

As soon as Wang Zhixin said this, Xu Jialin broke out in a cold sweat!

What's the use of female officials? The implication is that one has to have one's own daughters sleep with others and serve them!
Xu Jialin was extremely conflicted at this moment.

Firstly, he felt sorry for his daughters who might lose their virginity for no apparent reason. His eldest daughter was already like that, and he only had these two daughters. Now his second daughter was also in danger. As a father, how could he not feel sad!
Secondly, he was also worried about Jingyi's temper. It would be fine if she just served others, but what if this girl turned out to be stubborn and the prince punished her for something she was not considerate of? What would he do then?

But then again, being able to establish a relationship with the prince, no matter if she was a female official or something else, was a great favor to the Xu family, and would bring honor to the family.

If this had happened in normal times, even if the entire family had mobilized, used money and connections, it would never have been qualified to be sent to the palace!
So thinking about it this way, now that the former king is so willing to help me, I should still thank him generously.

Because he was thinking too much, Xu Jialin stood there in a daze for a while, not saying a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Wang Zhixin took two steps left and right, with a hint of impatience showing on his face.

"Chief Xu, a forced melon is not sweet!"

"Hmph, it seems I was abrupt!"

Wang Zhixin's tone of voice showed his disgust. Hearing this, Xu Jialin was startled and hurried to apologize.

"Oh, I am the one who doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness. I don't know how to appreciate your kindness!"

"Don't worry, Eunuch Wang. I will arrange it right away. My daughter will go there in a quarter of an hour!" Xu Jialin kowtowed.

"Haha, well, that's more like it!"

After saying this, Wang Zhixin rolled his eyes at the Xu couple kneeling on the ground, turned around, pushed the door open and left, returning to the prince's room.

Wang Zhixin went back to his room, while Xu Jialin and his wife sighed for a while in the room. In the end, they were helpless and had to give in and accept this mess.

Not long after, Xu Wangshi tiptoed into the two girls' room and talked about the pros and cons. Xu Jingyi flew into a rage and yelled loudly without saying a word. As her mother, Xu Wangshi immediately covered her mouth, appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, and finally managed to convince her after a long while.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jingyi, wearing a crimson long skirt and a coat, with red and swollen eyes, barely stepped out of the door of her boudoir. Her feet seemed to be filled with lead. She moved on the spot for a long time, and finally pushed open the door where the prince was with one hand.

But what was quite beyond Jingyi's expectation was that the king was very determined to make this happen and was planning to do evil to the king.

But Crown Prince Zhu Cilang didn't seem to like this, nor did he want to work hard for it. It really proves the old saying that the eunuchs are anxious when the emperor is not!
Since Jingyi came into the family, the prince only used her to serve tea and pass the spittoon, and he no longer used her.

At night, the prince's cough was no longer severe and he slowly fell asleep.

Wang Zhixin sat quietly on a small stool beside the table, doing nothing, and also dozed off in front of the table.

Xu Jingyi was waiting by the bed, her feet almost numb. Seeing that both the master and the servant were asleep, she felt somewhat relieved.

After more than an hour, the room was completely quiet. The prince and the eunuch were breathing evenly and sleeping soundly. Xu Jingyi thought carefully, picked up a charcoal hand warmer, half opened the door, and escaped!

The night wind was chilly, and Jingyi, who had just come out of the house, shivered all over.

He leaned on the railing and kept glancing at the tent in Xiao Jingchuan's yard for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took small steps and went downstairs carefully.

The cold mountain breeze hits the crimson skirt, highlighting the graceful and exquisite curves of the young girl.

Jingyi held the heater in her hand and approached Xiao Lang's tent tremblingly. She lightly lifted the tent door with her slender fingers and was about to lean in when Xiao Jingchuan in the inner room suddenly opened his eyes, put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and slightly raised his head.

"Who!" Xiao Lang asked softly, lowering his voice.

Xu Jingyi was startled and quickly covered her mouth for fear of making any loud noise.

The two looked at each other, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but stand there in a daze, Jingyi also paused, but she nodded and finally went back into the tent.

A military sleeping tent is a simple place to stay. It is not the kind of stable and spacious tent used for setting up camp in the wild.

The one that Xiao Jingchuan carried was designed to be light and very small, barely enough for one person to lie down.

At this moment, Xu Jingyi leaned over and came in, so she had to sit close to Xiao Jingchuan's waist with her knees curled up.

"Hey! Why does your tent stink so badly?" Jingyi blinked her big eyes, suppressing her panic, and started chatting casually.

"Uh, where, where is it!"

"Oh, by the way, why are you running downstairs so late at night? Is there something wrong?"

In fact, Xiao Jingchuan was also nervous at the time, so he tried hard to change the subject to avoid making a fool of himself.

"What? Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Jingyi went a step further, but it was obvious that her words were too ambiguous. She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Xiao Lang smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
