Chapter IV
I heard that the saint has not laughed like this for a long time, and the minions of the Heart Cultivation Hall are worried all day long, aren't they afraid of upsetting the saint.
Fu Chen was greatly relieved at this time, his life was saved, and the emperor did not mention the matter of disposing of them again.
For this kind of faint king, only more shameless and shameless than him.
Fu Chen, who had picked up a life, looked back at Shao Huachi, who had lost his mother's protection, when he left, he wanted to help Concubine Li, but was stopped by the guards on the side, and he was not very polite to the prince, obviously he also understood that it was difficult for Concubine Li's mother and son to turn over.
The emperor has never changed his mind about the disposition of Concubine Li.
In fact, when this kind of thing happens, it may not matter whether it is true or not.
Perhaps sensing the sight, Shao Huachi's ghost-like appearance turned to Fu Chen, and then snorted.
It is not unreasonable to say that Shao Huachi is a human ghost, because the deformed half of his face and the wrinkled skin covered by a mask for a long time are combined, and it is light to say that he is a ghost.
But no matter how disgusting he was in his previous life, Fu Chen was quite calm, what really surprised him was that Shao Hua vomited blood while pooling, and he also made a mouth shape for him and said something.
If you look closely, it is: Today, outside the Qingfeng Palace.
It was about nine o'clock in the evening, and Qingfeng Palace was next to the Cold Palace, an abandoned palace.
Fu Chen's eyes were dark, and he lowered his gaze obediently, he understood what Shao Huachi meant.
Just, don't bother.
It is impossible for a person who is not in danger to tie himself to a rotten log.
- Jin. River. Alone. Family. Hair. Table -
When I went out of the palace gate, I saw Li Xiangying, Eunuch Li is a yin and evil master, the eunuch is a teapot without a mouth, and most people without roots will not be very magnanimous.
When he saw that Fu Chen and the others actually came out alive, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face, obviously he didn't expect to have such luck at this point.
However, he quickly restrained his expression, and Fu Chen found that Li Xiangying's body had lost the smell of choking, and it should have been specially washed away to welcome the emperor.
Li Xiangying stared playfully at the crotch of Chen Zuoren and the others, the meaning of the ridicule was self-evident, but no one dared to speak back, the eunuch in charge was the king of heaven to the little eunuchs below, and it was just a matter of one sentence to punish them.
Fu Chen hurriedly grabbed Chen Zuoren, who was about to rush forward, don't look at Chen Zuoren's thinness, but his strength is not small, Fu Chen almost didn't hold it and was about to be freed.
"It's a good day again. The little ones go to the House of Internal Affairs with the miscellaneous family. Li Xiangying looked at the rising sun in the palace and said. actually took it lightly, as if I had forgotten the previous festival.
Before he went far, he turned around and looked at Chen Zuoren with a smile: "It seems that Mu Ruida didn't teach you the rules well, so I have to ask my father-in-law to do it for you." ”
Mu Ruida is the eunuch in charge of Fu Chen and others, and he is also their "master", if he has face, he can still call his godfather, and he is quite lenient to them on weekdays.
After the emperor's fright, and Li Xiangying's call, a group of people seemed very quiet.
Because of the smell on his body, he didn't want to stay outside, so he hurried back.
The couch has been replaced with a tamper, which also indicates that summer is coming, there are two sets of replacement clothes for washing in a quarter, and this set is not available today, some can be changed, and those that cannot be changed can only be washed with a little water on the wet cover.
Fu Chen brought the basin and integrated it for them, everyone looked up and didn't look down, and the efficiency was very high.
After all the changes were made, the tension for the rest of the life after the catastrophe finally eased, and everyone seemed to have just come out of that trance at this time, realizing that they still had their lives.
Suddenly, a tall eunuch came to Fu Chen.
With a thud, he knelt down.
"What is this!" Fu Chen was about to go out with the washed basin, and almost shook the sewage out.
"Chenzi, my Wang Fugui has also studied, and he knows the truth of courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, and knowing the truth of retribution, today my life was saved by you, and I will worship it!" Wang Fugui is the oldest here, three out of twenty, and has been a eunuch for five years. used to be a merchant, he took the township exam in his early years, and he was a child, but unfortunately he spent a lot of money and didn't get into the show, and he was not born to study, in his own words, he was a martial artist. Later, when he committed an accident, he came in in order to avoid heavy responsibility, and in their group of little eunuchs, he always regarded himself as the boss.
And behind Wang Fugui was the group of little eunuchs headed by him, "Get up!" I'm doing it for myself, what does it have to do with you! ”
Looking at the sincere gratitude in their eyes, without pretense, this is a rare light and hope in the palace, which gives him a little warmth like an ice cellar.
Fu Chen's nose was a little sour, he covered his face, covered up those fragile feelings, and said in a sullen voice: "Get up the for me, knock out the smell!" ”
Everyone laughed, and for a moment the atmosphere inside was brighter than the sun outside.
"Hahaha, it's the first time I've heard Tatsuko spit dirty!" Wang Fugui laughed and punched Fu Chen.
Fu Chen also couldn't help but laugh and punched back to show his friendship.
"The words that spit out are quite nice, if it weren't for 'Xianggong', Tatsuko looks like a scholar."
"But no, Tatsuko, how do you know so much?" A little eunuch surrounded Fu Chen and asked, surprised that he had reported so many medicinal herbs at once, many of which they had never heard of.
"Flicker." Isn't it fooling, throughout the ages, which emperor doesn't fool around a few words.
"Flicker, what do you mean?"
Fu Chen was stunned, by the way, there is no Internet language in this era.
"Tatsuko, do you know what I like most about you?" Wang Fugui suddenly looked at Fu Chen seriously.
"What?" Fu Chen also learned his dialect and replied.
"You're a good person, really, not neatly."
It's the first time someone has used this word to praise him, and the most evaluation he has heard before is the plague god, genius, and Ke wife and child.
At least, he never considered himself a good person.
A few people sorted out their outfits, talked and laughed and walked out, and ran into Mu Ruida, the eunuch in charge who was standing on the edge of the threshold.
Mu Ruida is about thirty years old, his appearance is ordinary, his complexion is yellow, and he keeps a straight face all day long, as Chen Zuoren said before, it is like everyone owes him one hundred and eighty taels of silver.
In an instant, the team stopped laughing, and said respectfully: "Master." ”
One by one, they waited for the instruction and stood there in an orderly manner.
"Fu Chen, I'm here to serve."
This service refers to the literal meaning, serving tea and water, serving bathing, bunching hair and cutting nails and other small guys, and sending Mu Zhangshi to the bed is over.
Basically, every eunuch in charge needs such a special person to serve, and generally the little eunuch who has a face to recognize as a "son" has this right, this kind of work Fu Chen just wants to do, but they don't do it, this is a bright snatch of jobs, and they have to be stumped by the little eunuch who has a face.
Mu Ruida's godson is called Ye Xin, who loves to be angry and has a very sweet mouth.
Fu Chen couldn't understand why he suddenly named him, but it was not easy to ask, Mu Ruida was never easy to talk to.
"Okay, master."
Then, Muruida left.
didn't mention anything about their incident in Weiyang Hall at night, I don't know if there was no news, or if there was no need to punish them, Fu Chen thought of Li Xiangying's last words, and always felt that this matter would not be revealed lightly.
A few people came to the tea house on the side of the corridor outside the prison fence, this is where they get up early to eat, at this time a large pot of porridge and side dishes has been placed on a table of eight immortals, and there are some buns and snacks, the food in the palace is not bad, like they eat a big pot of rice, if there is a grade of eunuchs and palace maids, it is better.
"That old bastard, he thinks he is something, he has been crawling for decades and is just a master, and when I get the momentum in the future, I will definitely ...... him" Chen Zuoren bit the bun fiercely, as if biting Li Xiangying, his mouth was bulging, and he looked eccentric.
"Renzi, be cautious." Fu Chen opened his mouth and looked out again.
The meaning is self-evident, there are many people, and they are punished if they are heard, and if they are strict, they will lose their lives.
There is a popular saying in this dynasty, "whether it is enough, two thousand eight", which does not refer to the number of palace maids that everyone in the world thinks, but the total number of eunuchs around this number.
And so many eunuchs, one or two less, or even dozens, can't stir up the slightest wave.
Chen Zuoren's eyes widened and he was a little unconvinced, but he didn't speak anymore.
"Tatsuko, you're waiting carefully tonight." After taking turns to eat, Wang Fugui reminded.
"Yes, I'll take notice." He understood what Wang Fugui meant, and beware of Ye Xin making him a stumbling block.
It's just that he doesn't have the heart to compete for favor, but people don't think so.
Fu Chen only ate six points full, not that he didn't want to eat full, but the unwritten rule, if you eat too much, you have to be respectful, if you happen to encounter something, it will be trouble.
And in the palace, the most important thing is trouble.
When I went out, I met Aunt Mei Jue and her palace maid Xiaoyang, who were deliberately waiting outside the gate of the prison courtyard, Fu Chen still remembered the first time he saw Aunt Mei, and he was amazed by her appearance, her temperament was soft and strong, and it was not in vain compared with Concubine Li. What's even more rare is that there are few aunts who are not strict, and they don't beat and scold at every turn, and they treat the palace maids very lovingly.
Over the years, he has also seen that this Aunt Mei is counting on going out of the palace to find relatives, and deliberately makes herself ordinary on weekdays, otherwise she may have been colored with her appearance. The emperor who wants to be smoked has asked for it, where will he stay in the little aunt's house until now.
"Aunt Mei, why are you here?" Fu Chen greeted him.
"It's not Xiaoyang, I've cried all night, I'm grinding out of it." Aunt Mei pointed to the little palace maid shrunk beside her, "I was just going to the Shangfu Bureau today, so I stopped by here to ask, I heard that you almost lost your head in front of the saint last night?" ”
Sure enough, Fu Chen looked at Xiao Yang's eyes like walnuts, thinking that he had been worried all night. Xiao Yang is Wang Fugui's wife before entering the palace, and later made a mistake, Wang Fugui resolutely chose to survive in death and purification, Xiao Yang is also an infatuated, and actually chased after him, in Wang Fugui's words, they are a pair made in heaven.
"Xiaoyang, it's okay, we're all fine, Fugui just went on a business trip, and the saint is lenient and large, so he won't punish us." Xiaoyang is also eighteen, much older than Fu Chen, but in Fu Chen's opinion, she looks like a little sister.
Xiaoyang blushed and thanked her, even though she had been in the palace for so long, this little girl was still very reserved.
Waving goodbye to them, Fu Chen walked all the way to his destination in the early morning, his job was to sweep the area around the Pavilion Lake, including the three palaces and the lakeside walkway.
The scenery of Yeting Lake is very good, the lotus leaves are fluttering, there is also a pavilion in the center of the lake, and the bronze statue of Jin Taizong stands in the pavilion, and he has to wipe this statue over and over again every day.
Just as he was wiping the statue's angry eyes, he heard a popping sound in the lake behind him.
It's like something overboard.
