Chapter 288 Grief
Yanjing.
The sixth prince reached out and took a roast goose from a young eunuch, plus two taels of silver.
As a prince and a master, not only did he take the initiative to reward these eunuchs, but he actually squeezed them, robbed them of their snacks, and extorted their money. This master is really acting like a fool. Some.
Eunuch Zhang went to Litian City. The one who followed the sixth prince was a young father-in-law, also named Zhang. His name was Zhang Miannian. He was Eunuch Zhang’s godson. He had just entered the palace not long ago. His net worth clean.
Little Eunuch Zhang stretched out his hand to take the roast goose from the Sixth Prince. The broken silver was not given to him, but went straight into the Sixth Prince's pocket.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace are actually a small river and lake. There are always people stepping on people to get up, and there are always people being dragged down. Of course, since they are slaves, everyone’s future is 90% at stake. You have to rely on your master.
When the master's power is strong, the slave's back will be straightened. When the master's power is weak, the slave will not be welcomed when he goes out. When other palace ladies are looking for someone to eat, they will not be happy to talk to you.
Little Eunuch Zhang felt that there could never be a more miserable master than his own master.
"Hey, let's talk to Xiao Chenzi tomorrow. It's his turn to come and honor me tomorrow."
"Hey, Your Highness, you have such a good memory. I will go and support you later."
"Haha, can you not remember it? I have this meal now, so I am counting on you. Feeding. ”
"Your Highness, you are serious. Being able to honor His Highness is a blessing for the slaves."
"I'm hungry, so I'll eat first."
"Your Highness, you can use it, slaves." Resign.”
The Sixth Prince walked to a pavilion and sat down. He motioned to Little Eunuch Zhang to start roasting the goose. He first broke off a section of the goose leg and started to chew on it.
Nibbling and nibbling,
Seeing that little Eunuch Zhang was not moving, the Sixth Prince said curiously:
“What are you looking at? Let’s eat together.”
< br>Little Eunuch Zhang shook his head hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Is it possible that the food in Xinzheku is so good that you don't even like goose meat?
Hey, that's not right. Where does the oil and water come from in a place like Xinzheku that cleans toilets? "
Little Eunuch Zhang blushed, shook his head and said:
"Your Highness, they, their lives are actually quite tight"
"Which of them. ?”
"That's right, just now..."
"Oh."
The Sixth Prince didn't take it seriously and continued to eat the goose meat.
“Your Highness, although I have only been in the palace for two years, I also know that after other nobles enter the palace, they are very polite to the people in the palace, even the youngest father-in-law and maidservant. , those general managers They are often treated with filial piety. How can you be like your Highness, who doesn't flatter them and blackmails them? "
"What's the matter? I don't have money to eat, so I can't go hungry, right? ”
"Your Highness, my godfather has a lot of personal money hidden there. I, my slave, can steal it for Your Highness to use."
I stole my father's money to support you!
"Don't, don't, don't! What's yours is yours, I can't use it. Every day, the eunuchs and maids in each palace are called upon to prepare meals. These days are quite carefree, and the dishes are different every day. , how good.”
"But, but, but in this case..."
Little Eunuch Zhang felt that although His Highness was the least favored among the princes, he could not give up on himself like this. You want to offend people severely.
Young Eunuch Zhang, who once worked as an errand in the palace, knows that although these eunuchs don't have much power, if they really want to ruin your affairs, some of them have dirty tricks. Even giving you eye drops in front of their masters will be enough for you. It's time to drink a pot.
The Sixth Prince waved his hand indifferently, sucked his greasy fingers, and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I am living in a tight life now, everyone knows this. Regarding the matter, if you give each of these princes in the palace a golden bean, they will call you "Master, good luck". But in fact, I have long been used to it.
But when I have nothing to eat, if I wait for them to bring food and drink, and give me some money, not only will they not be angry, but they will feel happier. ”
There is one more thing that the Sixth Prince did not say. They are not only happy, they are also moved when they see you eating the food they sent.
Of course, you have to find someone specific to extort money from, but you can't just do it stupidly. You need to carefully control the heat.
Little Eunuch Zhang didn’t know why,
The Sixth Prince didn’t care either,
“If you don’t eat it, I will eat it all.”
“ Your Highness, you can eat.”
"Haha."
While continuing to chew, a burst of crying suddenly came from the other side of the palace wall.
The sixth prince, who was chewing the goose neck, shivered with fright.
The father died?
For a time,
The sixth prince's heart seemed to feel empty all of a sudden.
Fear, uneasiness, confusion, consternation and a little bit of...relaxation.
However, the Sixth Prince still suppressed the display of his emotions and said to little Eunuch Zhang:
“Go there and see what’s going on.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Little Eunuch Zhang went to see him. After a while, little Eunuch Zhang ran back with red eyes and knelt at the feet of the sixth prince.
The Sixth Prince’s head is about to explode,
Isn’t that right?
Dad just died like this?
Didn’t the second brother just become the crown prince and sit on the dragon throne before the bed in the East Palace is warm from sleep?
The Tian family is ruthless,
This is the first reaction in the Sixth Prince's mind at this time,
Of course,
You can't force the Sixth Prince to go overboard at this time. The grief of the son,
The fault of a son who is unfilial to his father,
This sentence can be said to be vividly displayed in this pair of Tianjia father and son.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Begonia in the Grand Master's Palace has been defeated."
Hearing this sentence,
the Sixth Prince seemed to have just drowned and then been violently pulled The person who came out of the water felt a little dizzy.
He staggered back into his chair,
Phew...
Father,
did not die.
My heart felt a lot more at ease all of a sudden.
Because the Sixth Prince knew that no matter how hard his father rubbed him, killed his mother's clan, demolished the ancestral hall, and took away everything from him, at the very least, his father would not kill him.
That third brother, who made such a big mistake and might even have spies from the Qian Kingdom around him, is now imprisoned in the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake. He is gone below, but isn't he still alive?
But if it is my second brother who comes to power,
according to his second brother’s temperament, to be honest, not many of my brothers will die well.
Not to mention, the more powerful sister-in-law is about to enter the capital. If she becomes a queen as soon as she enters the capital, then there will really be no hope for the contemporary princes of the Ji family.
But secretly, the Sixth Prince still felt that he was a little lost,
Father, he is not dead.
Immediately afterwards,
an extremely rebellious thought emerged,
Father,
how long can you last?
Little Eunuch Zhang didn't know what forbidden things his Highness was thinking in his mind. He was still immersed in the sadness of his grandfather's death.
The palace master is the "teacher" in the hearts of all eunuchs.
Actually, there are not many father-in-laws who can be accepted by him and pass on the art of refining qi, only a handful of them, but he is like a bright light in business, giving the eunuchs living in the palace the heart All sparked a glimmer of hope.
These eunuchs, because of their physical disabilities, tend to have extreme personalities. If they hate someone, they will hate that person to the core. But in other words, if they are really grateful to someone, then Being able to truly see that person as their “parent”, maybe even more than their parents.
Because most of the father-in-laws were sold into the palace by their parents when they were young.
"My condolences."
The Sixth Prince sighed,
lowered his head,
continued to eat the roast goose.
He actually didn't know where the old man had gone. He didn't dare to inquire too much, because the cards in his hand now meant that the more he used, the less he would get.
But one thing the Sixth Prince had known for a long time was that the Grand Master had been away from the palace for many days.
Because the two eunuchs working in the palace did not secretly bring rice cakes when they brought food to themselves.
Master,
died outside the palace.
………
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly fell into stasis.
The corners of many eunuchs' eyes were glowing red, showing a real sadness that they could not control themselves.
In the Imperial Study Room,
Emperor Yan is reviewing the memorial.
His complexion looks good, and his face is glowing red.
At this time, a young eunuch walked to the door of the Imperial Study Room, and Wei Zhonghe, who was accompanying His Majesty, walked out knowingly. After hearing the news about the failure of Begonia flowers, Wei Zhonghe swayed first, then with bright eyes, raised his head to look at the sky, and began to Seal.
After a while,
Wei Zhonghe walked back to the imperial study.
"What happened?" Emperor Yan put down his imperial pen and asked.
“Your Majesty, Grand Master, has ascended to heaven.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan
leaned back,
closed his eyes,
for a while,
spoke:
"Are you back?"
"Back to Your Majesty, all the luck I borrowed from you has come back, and there is a lot more. Your Majesty said before leaving the palace, whether your Majesty believes this or not, and whether your Majesty Do you care about this? But since he is Dayan’s Qi practitioner, he naturally has to Help Dayan regain his energy.
This is the only thing he can do for His Majesty besides making rice cakes."
Emperor Yan waved his hand.
“I’ll be alone for a while.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhonghe bowed and exited the imperial study.
Emperor Yan then leaned back on the chair. No one could see clearly what he was thinking in his eyes at this time.
I don’t know how long it took,
Yanhuang forced himself to hold the chair and sit up straight again,
Picking up the tea cup,
the tea was already cold, but he drank it all in one gulp without caring. He even put the tea leaves inside into his mouth and began to chew slowly.
No matter how much I chew it, I can’t taste the bitterness at all.
A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, and he clutched the imperial case tightly with his fingers.
"You have been mumbling in my ears, saying that my body started to get worse and worse because the dragon vein was cut off by Master Zang. You said you wanted to cut it off for me. Luck is restored.
Oh,
So what if I live a few more days,
I won’t be able to eat the rice cakes you made by yourself. "
"Ahem..."
The Emperor Yan reached out and covered his mouth.
After the cough passed,
he habitually spread his palms,
but suddenly found that the blood stains on his palms were half less than what he had coughed up before. (End of this chapter)
