"Hang the night pearl given by Emperor Taizu on the top of the main hall, so that it can best show Your Majesty's noble status!"
"Bastard, how can you arrange a seat within twenty steps of the throne?Who can be qualified and take a seat within twenty steps of His Majesty?!mm?!"
"Go and bring the three-legged chair with the red sandalwood carved beast head in the warehouse sixteen, and arrange it on the seat in the middle of the inner hall!"
"And you!, go and send the menu set by Mama to the masters in the imperial dining room, so that they can research new dishes that meet the requirements as soon as possible......
"There are also potted flowers and plants that need to be arranged during the banquet - our family remembers that when His Majesty celebrated his birthday a few years ago, many ghost lords in the underworld sent extremely precious exotic flowers and plants, you can take care of them properly, this banquet will be used, you must know that there is no half point difference pool......"
"The rosewood carved beast head chair is naturally equipped with the best wine and tea sets, didn't Ouyang Zi's old ghost burn a lot of porcelain last year......"
The next morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It had not been so lively in the Great Hades Palace for twenty years.
Everyone was busy, and even the side hall, which had been unoccupied for many years, was asked to be sprinkled and cleaned.
The petty official of the Inner Mansion was standing behind a gray-haired old man dressed in the service of a high-ranking eunuch in the palace, this old ghost eunuch had a feminine face, although white-haired but had the face of a middle-aged handsome uncle, and had been a ghost for about 400 years, and everyone called him "Father Rabbit" - because he liked to eat rabbit meat, as for his original name...... When he first entered the palace, this old ghost was already a eunuch, and he claimed to have forgotten his original name, so he only asked everyone to call him Father Rabbit, and his true origin was not traceable.
Before entering the palace, this old ghost was one of the famous loners in the underworld, but he didn't have many friends, but he was born to love rabbit meat, especially the freshly slaughtered one - and Luo Zi's Great Hades Palace was his only choice, because this is the only place where he can hold up a protective umbrella in the yang world, and at the same time, he can provide him with rabbit meat at all times, and can also use this material to make a variety of extremely delicious dishes to satisfy his taste.
The petty official of the Inner Mansion stood behind Grandpa Rabbit and didn't dare to raise his head, only listened to Grandpa Rabbit arranging various affairs at the banquet three days later, and carefully laughed with him, you must know that even when Mama Yue came, he was not so cautious, and the reason why he is like this now is completely because of one reason, not because of the status of Grandpa Rabbit, not because of the rank of Grandpa Rabbit, but-
He himself is a rabbit spirit who has been cultivating for a hundred years.
One can imagine how much pressure the petty officials of the Inner Mansion are under now!
Natural predators!
When the junior official was vigilant, he only heard the rabbit father-in-law pinching a feminine tone and smiling strangely and giving the junior official a wink, and said, "Be careful~~"
Don't think about it, this is not the noun of the careful, but - the petty official was originally surnamed Rabbit, and their family of more than 100 rabbit spirit brothers were all surnamed "Rabbit", all serving Luo Zi in the palace, at that time Luo Zi's power had just been established, so the scale was not as big as it is now, and then the rabbit's reproductive ability must be known to everyone, think about it, a huge palace, and then so many adults are called "Rabbit Lords"......
Luo Zi didn't like it, so he gave their family the surname "Tu", at that time, this group of rabbit spirits seemed to be crazy after receiving the holy decree and had to take turns kneeling outside the noon gate for three consecutive days, Luo Zi was still unhappy with their own gifts, and secretly angered for a while, who knew that these rabbit spirits were actually thanking him for the grace of his name...... What else does it say that the grace of giving a name is like re-creation, willing to serve and be loyal to Luo Zi himself from generation to generation, and the name of this petty official is "sudden care......
So this group of "bold" rabbit spirits is indeed famous in the palace since then, after all, the biggest master knows about them, if one day it is mentioned on a whim...... Therefore, the people in the palace are not very good at bullying them, but they are kind and kind, so that these rabbit spirits can survive in the deep palace of deep planning, and they can mix well.
This is also the main reason why this group of rabbit spirits who are not up to the rank of official have not let the rabbit father eat one until now-
However, Father-in-law Rabbit pinched the orchid at this time and pointed to the nickname of the name of the petty official of the Inner Mansion, but those hungry wolves seemed to have green eyes, (although the eyes of the ghost are dark green, but the general ghost will change the method to make it become the same as a mortal, but you know, Grandpa Rabbit is not an ordinary ghost), and glanced directly at the upper and lower parts of the petty official of the Inner Mansion, especially the thigh part blocked under the sleeve robe, and stayed no less than three breaths, back and forth six times!
The little official's lowered eyes flashed slightly, the rabbit is cautious and timid by nature, not to mention that in the face of the monster that eats the same kind of meat all year round, the little official couldn't help but shake his body, but the rumors in the palace couldn't help but emerge in his mind: I heard that this rabbit father-in-law likes to eat rabbit meat the most, especially leg meat......
Thinking of this, the junior official finally couldn't help but shudder, lowered his head even more, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "No, I don't know what my father-in-law has, what do you command?"
Father-in-law Rabbit didn't reply directly, his sharp ghost eyes were not just staring at the "delicious" petty official in front of him.
At this time, there was a little eunuch with a weak and fair face arranging flowers and plants, and his actions were a little rude, and the rabbit father-in-law suddenly stared at the other side and shouted in a loud voice: "What are you doing?!
The petty official was caught off guard, and was so frightened by the sharp shout of the rabbit father-in-law that he trembled and didn't dare to move, and cold sweat oozed out!
At the same time, he was also frightened by the eunuch's subordinates who carried the flowers and plants!
I saw that the flower pot fell in a straight line, and the little eunuch was so frightened that his brain was stunned for a while and he didn't move—but he saw a dark green afterimage flashing, and instantly caught the flower pot firmly!
But in the eyes of the little eunuch, a glowing green eye and a miserable white face suddenly appeared in front of him, and those eyes flashed with an unknown terrifying light, and they were only an inch away from touching the tip of their noses, and the little eunuch could even feel the sound of breathing on that face.
After the little eunuch was frightened, he realized that the face on the opposite side was actually the rabbit father-in-law who was still a hundred meters away just now!
He was immediately very frightened, the elders of the family had specially shown him the portrait of this old ghost before arranging for him to enter the palace, and he had been distracted to observe this "extremely terrible person" just now, it was simply very familiar!
Then the little eunuch remembered why the elders had to remind him to pay attention to this person, and the little eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground with a soft leg and a "poof", his body was sieve, and he lay in front of the rabbit father-in-law with a crying face and a hoarse voice, trembling and whispering: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law......"
He was so scared that he didn't know what to say, so he had to keep reading the trembling word "father-in-law".
At this time, a eunuch dressed in an intermediate-grade eunuch chief rushed up, knelt on the ground with a pop three meters away, and walked a few steps on his knees: "Rabbit everyone! Rabbit everyone! This kid just came out of the Department of Education and is not sensible, so he almost made a mistake! Rabbit everyone!
It's a long time, in fact, it's a blink of an eye, none of the weak people here, and the reaction nerves are not covered, the little official realized that the rabbit father-in-law was not attacking him, and he was immediately relieved, and then secretly wiped a handful of sweat and turned his head, and when he saw this scene, his heart suddenly hung again!
The two "people" in front of them are all from their family!
Isn't that little eunuch the sixty-first son of his third cousin's twenty-ninth cousin's fourth aunt?!
And the one who was wearing an intermediate-grade eunuch little chief uniform, kneeling on the ground and constantly howling "begging the rabbit father-in-law to fall lightly", isn't it the eldest nephew of the ninth uncle's sister-in-law in his grandfather's generation?!
(Phew!What a mess!)
The petty official is about to weaken his feet suddenly!
"How can that be done? This is a banquet for His Majesty's birthday, if something unlucky happens during the preparation of the banquet, how can our family explain it to Mama? No, no!"
Isn't ?......that a good thing to be when you just entered the palace? A hint of salivation flashed in the green eyes of the rabbit father-in-law, and his mouth was unyielding, but his eyes skimmed over the protrusion behind the buttocks of the little eunuch in front of him that had not yet been fully transformed, his thief's nose had eaten rabbit meat for more than 400 years, and he could smell the rabbit smell on this little eunuch from a long distance!
That's right, this is a rabbit spirit like a petty official!
Father-in-law Rabbit couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the little eunuch: although the little rabbit was sprayed with some aromatherapy that covered the original smell, the natural smell on the tail could not be hidden!
Otherwise, why was there so many little eunuchs present, why did he just stare at this little eunuch?
Moreover, if it weren't for his shouting, it wasn't certain that this little rabbit spirit would have gone wrong!
The castrated rabbit, the craftsmanship of the castrated rabbit in this palace is so good, I think it should be very clean, so isn't this meat more fragrant...... Grandpa Rabbit couldn't help but think as he swallowed his saliva.
"Rabbit everyone! Rabbit everyone! This child has just turned 80 years old! He is still a child, let him be light!"
Father-in-law Rabbit is so unrelenting, how can the elders of the little rabbit follow? He also knelt down and pleaded with Father-in-Rabbit, with tears in his eyes, and his voice was tear-jerking with emotion -- when they came to the palace to set up a banquet, they specially smoked incense for themselves, just to prevent this father-in-law rabbit who likes rabbit meat, who knows if he was caught in the wrong place?!
Hey, my ancestors, what can I do?!
At this time, the rabbit father-in-law suddenly changed from a cloudy day of anger to a sunny smiling face, and suddenly leaned down to help the rabbit spirit elder eunuch who was kneeling in front of him, and grinned kindly: "Oh, isn't this a relative of Lord Tu?
"Don't say it sooner, just say it earlier!" Grandpa Rabbit unfolded an old friendly hippie, which was quite puzzling.
However, when he smiled like this, the elders of the little eunuch were even more frightened, and did not dare to have physical contact with the rabbit father-in-law, and when he stood up, he hurriedly avoided the hands of the rabbit father-in-law pinching his paws-I don't know if the fear in his heart was at work, he always felt that the rabbit father-in-law was pinching his hand as if he was weighing something......
When the rabbit saw that his hands were pulled away, he was not annoyed, but a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes? !
"Father-in-law, but what happened?"
There was a timid voice from behind him, he understood who was in the bureau, and he could naturally know that it was his junior who was stared at by the "monster" of Father-in-law Rabbit, and he was scared for a while, but he still endured his scalp and came forward to "resolve the situation".
He was able to get into His Majesty's Inner Mansion, not only because of his wealth and loyalty, but also because he understood some of the overall situation - for example: Although Father-in-law Rabbit has never dared to attack their family, if this first moment is opened, I am afraid that their family will no longer be at peace in the future!
"Oh, it's nothing, it's all a trivial matter!" Grandpa Rabbit smiled and patted the shoulder of the little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, and only smiled sincerely, "It's a trivial matter." Hurry up, huh?"
The little eunuch hurriedly got up with the strength of the rabbit father-in-law, and almost fell down again because of his weak legs, but he finally looked a little calm.
Only the elder beside him hesitated, nervously folded his hands, and asked, "Rabbit everyone, is this ...... This kid ......"
"It's okay, isn't this an attempt?!" Grandpa Rabbit smiled brightly, and he really looked sincere.
The little eunuch didn't tremble much, lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to say anything, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, the petty official behind Grandpa Rabbit thought that things would not be so simple, and after listening to Grandpa Rabbit's words, he hurriedly glanced at the two eunuchs, one older and one small, and asked them to leave quickly.
When the elders saw it, they immediately understood the meaning of the junior official, and they were about to lean over and leave, but as soon as they bent down, they heard the salty voice of the rabbit father-in-law above their heads and said with a smile: "But now is also a critical moment after all, this is Your Majesty's birthday, and it is not prudent to listen to the heavens, so it is not good for our family to be punished like this, it is better to ......."
Father-in-law Rabbit paused, as if thinking about how to "punish small punishments and big commandments", and suddenly the hearts of everyone who noticed it here were raised-
I only heard the rabbit father-in-law smile and said: "Isn't the birthday banquet going to start in a few days, and our family is also worried about the messenger who sends the letter, but recently the affairs of his subordinates have been tedious and can't take time, anyway, it's not a big mistake, why don't you send this kid to trot?"
"Not far away, it is Renjia Town within five hundred miles, please ask the old Taoist priest of Yizhuang, and return it immediately the next day......"
As the rabbit spoke, he smiled and reached out to brush the broken hair around the ear of the little eunuch, and his movements were extremely gentle, as if he had children of his own family, if he had children.
However, after hearing this, the little official and the old eunuch's faces suddenly changed greatly!
