The deep palace is the tightest place in the world, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention that this imperial city is the place with the most disputes in the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even if the emperor stands like a high mountain, the bottom of the mountain will never be immune to snakes and rats.
Nominally, everything in the palace belongs to the emperor, the concubine is the item in use, the palace maid is the spare item, and the eunuch is a consumable, and if you are not satisfied, you can kill it directly.
Even if a minister is like Wei Zheng, he will not sympathize with this kind of people and admonish this group of people.
Perhaps it is precisely because of a clear understanding of the attributes of their own items that eunuchs will pay more attention to some substantive things, such as interests, and the power that must be held in order to obtain benefits.
This kind of power is supposed to come from the emperor, but there is still a big difference between the main gate and the open gate, and the specific people who drink water care more about those who directly determine whether they have water to drink and how much water to drink......
Or, when outsiders offer more and greater benefits, the eunuchs will make their own instinctive choices.
Chen Jinshui, as one of the eight internal ministers, is also a powerful figure in the palace, in addition to the ancestor, four godfathers and six eldest brothers, he counts eight of them.
It's not that Li Mao doesn't want to develop a higher-level internal line, but his strength is limited, unlike his third brother, who has been a serious prince for more than ten years, and can legitimately form a gang, Li Mao has brought in a few venture capitals at most in addition to his own industry, and he is still the kind that can't see the light and can only contribute money but not people.
This time, he warned Mrs. Yu Guo that the position of the person sent was definitely ineffective, so Li Mao had no choice but to release the biggest card in his hand.
Mrs. Yu Guo has been to Hanyuan Hall many times, but this time she was carrying Yang Yuhuan to meet her sister-in-law, Li Longji was still a little weak-hearted, and changed to a side hall to Lin Xing Cui's family.
This kind of thing can't be hidden from the eunuchs in the palace, in order to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline, and also to ensure that the women in the palace can find the responsible person smoothly after pregnancy (except for the emperor, there will be basically no outsiders), all dynasties will have special deaf and dumb eunuchs to record the emperor's "living notes".
Although the "Living Note" is claimed to be an important historical material that even the emperor cannot easily change, but since he is a eunuch, he cannot escape the constraints of dignity and inferiority between the upper and lower levels.
When you come to a side hall where even Chen Jinshui, the big eunuch, doesn't know the name, you can see teams of palace maids under the leadership of the grandmother, carrying hot water, clothes, rouge gouache, jewelry, etc., and dozens of sturdy eunuchs are waiting in the courtyard carrying beds, tables and chairs and other furniture.
Chen Jinshui knew at a glance that this was a reward for Mrs. Qiuguo after being favored, and even if this side hall could not be justifiably rewarded to the Cui family at that time, someone would be sent to be stationed in the future to be responsible for daily cleaning.
As for whether the Cui family can enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine logically, there is more than a star and a half of difficulties, and everything is only known to God.
But for these eunuchs and palace maids who were sent to take care of the Cui family, the Cui family may become the master of their lives.
It is precisely because these people have the lowest status in the palace, so when Chen Jinshui opened his mouth to ask for the clearance, although these people hesitated, they still succumbed to the obscene authority of the great eunuch after a while.
After a few clouds and rains, Li Longji had already left, and as soon as he stepped on his shoulders when he left, he fell into a deep sleep, and Mrs. Qiuguo, who had become younger, was not only happy at the moment, but also from the body's desire.
At this moment, she missed the faces that were taken away, young and handsome......
Thinking about it, his hand unconsciously slid between the jade legs.
The water vapor rose, and the graceful flesh in the bath bucket made Chen Jinshui, a rootless person, a little short of breath.
Chen Jinshui entered the palace when he was young, but he also touched women, although he couldn't really be happy, but he also learned about the woman's body structure and the meaning of some specific behaviors from the fixed object, so that he didn't even know what Mrs. Qiu Guo was doing right now.
Mrs. Qiuguo, who was forgetting to entertain herself, failed to find Chen Jinshui, who had walked behind her, which made Chen Jinshui a little embarrassed.
Although such a stunner entertains himself in front of him, Chen Jinshui is not a normal man after all, and he can't let go of his anger, which is not pleasant.
"Ahem!" Chen Jinshui coughed, and Mrs. Yu Guo in the bathtub woke up suddenly, and hurriedly splashed a lot of water.
"Who are you?" Mrs. Qiu Guo grabbed the silk scarf and put it around her chest, and when she saw that the man was still staring at her unscrupulously, she was shocked and angry: "Why are you here?
Chen Jinshui couldn't see it in a panic at all, and said slowly: "Our family's cheap name, don't say it and pollute the lady's noble ears!"
"Come here today, that is, to pass on a word for your nobles......" Chen Jinshui looked down at Mrs. Yu Guo in the bathtub like a god on the top, and said with a faint mockery on the corner of his mouth: "Don't think that you really feel like you have become a phoenix when you stand on a branch for a while, you need to know that a pheasant is a pheasant, and never expect to become a phoenix!"
After Chen Jinshui finished speaking, he smiled faintly at Mrs. Qiuguo, and then turned to leave, leaving the stunned Mrs. Qiuguo curled up alone in the bathtub.
Walking outside the side hall, Chen Jinshui did not forget to tell me coldly: "I heard it clearly, our family has not been here today, and you have not seen our family, don't go around talking nonsense, otherwise you will ......"
"Hehe, anyway, you can't get out in this life, everyone is hard-working, and our family doesn't want to embarrass you, you all know what I mean, right?"
"Understood, understood!"
"Father-in-law, don't worry, the little ones will never dare to talk nonsense!"
"That's good!" Chen Jinshui nodded slightly, and Shi Shiran left.
Li Mao rarely gave the next order, and Chen Jinshui consciously did it beautifully, and when he was satisfied, he felt that His Royal Highness King Shou would definitely reward him well this time.
But what he didn't expect was that he was not the only one who came to Mrs. Qiuguo to speak for the nobles today.
Jiang He, one of the six permanent attendants, was also ordered by the crown prince Li Heng to warn Mrs. Yuguo.
Almost as soon as Chen Jinshui left, Jiang He entered this side hall with a few guards.
"Let's all go out for a while!" Jiang He was also indifferent, and he had no mercy for these lowest-level eunuchs and palace maids.
The eunuchs and palace maids who just wanted to continue to be busy hurriedly put down the work in their hands and trotted out with ease, and the swift movements made several guards beside him who had just been transferred out of the prince's personal guard secretly smack their tongues.
"Being a eunuch can be so majestic......"
"I'm tired of a few people outside, wait a minute!" Jiang He didn't dare to be disrespectful to a few guards, so he bowed and got permission before walking into the side hall.
As soon as she got up from the bathtub, her mind was still thinking about Chen Jinshui's threat just now, and in addition to anger, Mrs. Qiu Guo actually had a trace of worry and fear in her heart.
After all, his sister has been a concubine in the palace for several years, and she is actually the master of the harem by virtue of her identity as a concubine.
However, the fear in Mrs. Qiuguo's heart, Jiang He, who had just entered, did not know, if he knew, he would never act according to his previous expectations, and he would not end up like that......
"I've seen Mrs. Qiuguo!"
Jiang He is not as unsightly as Chen Jinshui, as a great eunuch second only to the four major chamberlains, he has even been in contact with a lot of military affairs, and he has his own set of means.
When Mrs. Qiu Guo saw a eunuch enter the door again, and there was no sound outside, she was immediately startled and retreated.
"You...... What do you want to do?"
Seeing that Mrs. Qiu Guo was so frightened and uneasy, Jiang He was a little surprised in his heart, it was rumored that Mrs. Qiu Guo Cui was an arrogant and domineering woman, but at this moment, he inevitably felt that people could not be trusted.
Jiang He clenched his fists slightly, and replied: "Our family has come to spread a word for the nobles, the palace is no better than the streets of the market, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the palace, you must learn to look at people and do things......"
Jiang He came with the mission of the crown prince Li Heng, and the focus this time was actually to show her strength to Mrs. Yu Guo, so that she could feel the huge power of the prince in the palace, so that she would be obedient and take the initiative to go to Jingzhao Mansion to withdraw the case, so that Xu Chen could be released from prison without charge.
However, when the order was issued, Li Heng did not clearly remind Xu Chen of this person, but asked Jiang He to let Mrs. Yu Guo go to Jingzhao Mansion to withdraw the case.
There is no problem with this, the crown prince Li Heng thought to himself that Mrs. Qiu Guo would not be so stupid as to have to say it, not to mention that the relationship between himself and Xu Chen is not always shouted at all over the world, and it is impossible for him, as the prince, to explain the cause and effect to the people below even if he orders a small thing.
Therefore, in Jiang He's opinion, the crown prince Li Heng may have learned that Mrs. Qiu Guo was favored by the saint and wanted to ambush her, or at least maintain a cooperative relationship with each other, such a thing is not uncommon in this palace.
Powerful ministers or princes privately contact eunuchs, palace maids and even concubines to find out the movements in the palace, which has not been a lack of things in this imperial city since ancient times.
Therefore, in order to achieve the strategic purpose of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Jiang He first told Mrs. Qiu Guo about the difficulty of surviving in the palace and the great power of some nobles.
After that, he talked about some knowledge of Mrs. Qiu Guo herself.
"Our family knows that Mrs. has not been idle for a moment in the past few years when she came to Chang'an, and the ministers under the skirt are afraid that there are not hundreds or dozens, and now Mrs. is fortunate to be pampered by the saints, and she should be clean and self-......."
This was a threat, and it was also a piece of advice from Jiang He to this ally whom His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had taken a fancy to.
However, Mrs. Qiuguo, who was already frightened, was completely stimulated by this sentence!
"Okay, good, good Yang Yuhuan! If you become the emperor's woman, you won't give her a way to live as a sister! Since you don't care about sisterhood, don't blame the old lady for being ruthless......
