271 Chapter 269
Seeing the repetition means that it is an anti-theft chapter, and the subscription is less than 50% after 36 hours to be able to see Concubine De is also not angry Fu Chen's refusal, she seems to have expected it a long time ago, but she is more and more satisfied, It is this temperament that is the most unique feature of this little eunuch. The hand with the finger cuff rubbed Fu Chen's smooth face.
Fu Chen felt the tip of the finger cuff scratch the skin, as if it was about to leave, but it was like a sickle dancing on the heart.
"Everybody wants power, don't you?"
"Do you know why I chose you, you have eyes beyond your age, where there are desires that you don't even know you know. β
"You can have a better choice with the way you look, and I can give it to you. β
"You're a smart guy and you know what to choose. β
A series of words can hook up people's most latent desires.
Fu Chen was silent, listening to Concubine De's words, and smashed into his heart every sentence. Concubine De got up, graceful and luxurious, her breath slowly sprayed on Fu Chen's neck. Fu Chen couldn't help but shudder, she chuckled: "I once had a lover, when I met him, he was also your age, you have such secret eyes, you are so cautious, you are so delicate and clean, when I was still a concubine, I was put in an old house in the countryside and no one cared about it, until the emperor issued a holy decree, and my family was grateful to Dade for sending me to the palace, and then knew that I was in love with him, and actually sent him to the palace." β
There is only one way for men to be sent to the palace.
This Concubine De's family is also ruthless enough, so it is not directly cut off from any possibility.
Fu Chen only knew about Concubine De's past, and he looked confused, "Then ...... later?"
"Dead. β
Fu Chen didn't ask how he died, and Concubine De obviously didn't want to say it.
"I'll give you time to think about it, this palace will pity you for being pitiful, and I won't force you. β
"Today's events, if this palace hears any rumors, your family outside the palace will sit together. β
"Go down, this palace is tired. β
In the end, in the lazy expulsion of Concubine De, he walked out of Fuxi Palace in a daze.
He believed that any eunuch who could win the eyes of his master would be eager to agree.
He didn't respond immediately, maybe in the eyes of Concubine De, he didn't know what to do.
Concubine De risked the sins of the nine clans, and she also had to deal with the emperor, what a grudge this is.
Thinking of Concubine Lide's word-of-mouth connections in the palace on weekdays, although the emperor does not stay overnight, he has always been favored.
He suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet.
Is this up to him, to be a woman's confinement, a male pet who relies on the face of his master?
is not even as good as a male pet, and in the eyes of everyone, he is just a eunuch now.
With a stomach cramp, he threw himself into the bushes in the corner of the palace road, and the food that was still digested in his stomach was reversed by him.
I vomited until I was gone, still retching, physiological tears filled my eyes, my face and chest seemed to still have the touch of the woman's touch, and my throat was hot and painful. The age difference between them is almost two rounds, and he thinks of a popular modern saying, no matter how old a man is, he always likes a girl who is twenty-eight years old.
Perhaps, this law is the same for women, this lonely deep palace always has to have some fun.
Is it that if he is lucky enough to have fun, he must be grateful to Dade?
He even wanted to tear the woman's smiling face.
ββJin Jiang.Du.Jia.Fa.Tableββ
Fu Chen staggered out from behind the bushes, but did not notice that the pair of calm and holy eyes behind him were the three princes who had been away for a long time.
Shao Anlin Shi Ran walked out from not far away and looked in the direction Fu Chen left.
Fu Chen is a well-behaved person, no matter how much depression he has in his heart, he didn't vent it arbitrarily, he came out of Fuxi Palace and walked towards the prison bar.
But when he passed a palace, he heard the sound of laughter and abuse inside.
"Yo, fool, I can't get over grandpa's crotch. β
"Hahahaha, come and pick it up, the fool is so stupid!"
A disheveled, unkempt man screamed something and rushed out of the door, crashing into the oncoming Fu Chen.
When Fu Chen came back to his senses, he noticed a pair of familiar eyes, which were the Seventh Prince who had punished him for kneeling under the scorching sun: Shao Huachi.
Hearing the sound of chasing behind, Shao Huachi, who hit someone in front of him, didn't seem to notice Fu Chen, and ran straight ahead.
Fu Chen suppressed the shock in his heart, almost didn't think about it, turned around and hid behind the pillar, and soon the two eunuchs inside chased him out, brought the crazy Shao Huachi in, closed the palace door, and isolated the outside world.
Fu Chen looked in through the hollow pattern on the wall, and saw Shao Huachi's eyes were scattered, his expression was sluggish and smirking, and the clothes on his body were still a little muddy, he seemed to see Fu Chen looking here, and laughed in this direction. That look is similar to the arrogant and forbearant prince he saw before, Fu Chen heard that the seventh prince had a fever after falling into the water a month ago, and then he burned to the point of delirium, and the imperial doctor was helpless, although he saved a life and came back, he was stupid. The emperor, who didn't want to see Concubine Li's mother and son, wanted to remove her from the prince's list, but was stopped by the kind-hearted queen and ministers, and finally gave it to the queen to raise on his behalf.
Fu Chen knew that the reason why the emperor was so ruthless was probably that he still thought that the Seventh Prince was not his own child.
This palace is rarely visited on weekdays, and who will know how to toss it, and these eunuchs are supposed to be sent by the queen to deliver food.
"What is he looking at! Is there anyone in that place?" one of the horse-faced eunuchs looked in Fu Chen's direction and found nothing.
"What's the matter, what do you have to compete with a fool?" the thinner eunuch grabbed him and looked out twice.
The horse-faced eunuch's loud slap hit Shao Huachi, and the force was quite large.
Soon the mask came down, and the two eunuchs were so frightened that they grabbed each other because they saw the ghost-like side at once.
"Hell!"
"It's disgusting!"
"This ghost face still has a face to live in the world!"
"No wonder Concubine Li entered Jingyang Palace, it must have been harmed by this thing that is not a human or a ghost, Broom Star!"
"Your Majesty is so merciful, such a ghost thing is still in the palace. β
When they were scolding, they didn't know Fu Chen behind the wall, and grabbed the corner of his clothes, the broom star, a very familiar name, once his life was a broom star, synonymous with a disaster star. Ke's father, mother, wife, and son, a proper lonely family, even he himself will wonder if it was really him who killed everyone around him.
Shao Huachi's half of the ghost face is even more miserable now, half of his eyes have been squeezed out by the swollen pus, the pusle seems to have been cut because of the force just now, and the black and purple pus flowed out, but the other side is as beautiful as a fairy, such a big gap between the two sides, no wonder it can scare people to faint.
These two eunuchs have not seen bloody scenes, and they endured nausea and approached Shao Huachi again.
The horse-faced eunuch skimmed his face, and grabbed Shao Huachi's hair with evil to the side of his guts, "Let you look around, let you show your face, let you laugh!
Shao Huachi screamed in pain, looking really painful.
The horse-faced eunuch seems to have some fun, as a slave who has been bullied in every way, he can one day override his master, and he can pour out all his negative emotions, especially the arrogant Seven Princes on weekdays.
The horse-faced eunuch threw the rice bowl to the ground, held Shao Huachi with one hand and pressed his head inside, and the greens and rice grains were covered all over his face. Shao Huachi's back was pressed, his hands flew in the air, and his mouth made a "woo woo" sound, looking like he was really going to suffocate.
"Hey, you're about the same, Niang Niang only asked us to test whether he was really stupid, no matter how he said it, he was a prince, and if it was too much, he would be held responsible. The thin eunuch next to him pulled him to prevent him from killing anyone, no matter what, it was the prince.
"What are you afraid of, he is not the Seventh Prince now, not even us. "The horse-faced eunuch has no fear.
This is also true, I heard that after Concubine Li was beaten into the cold palace, the emperor originally ignored the seven princes, but he didn't expect the queen mother to be merciful and offered to raise the seven princes who heard that the disaster star was reincarnated, and it was rumored in the palace that the queen mother was a fairy descending to earth, and she was compassionate.
Due to the thin eunuch's resistance, the horse-faced eunuch did not kill people in the end.
He suddenly laughed evilly, as if he had thought of some good idea, and stabbed the people around him, "I said you hold him down." β
"What are you going to do?" the thin eunuch glanced at the ghostly face, his face was pale, and he didn't have the pleasure of the horse-faced eunuch, he just wanted to leave quickly.
"Hold him down, and ......," the horse-faced eunuch opened his legs and pointed to his crotch, "and let him crawl over." β
"You...... Crazy, he's a prince!"
"What's wrong with the prince, if I can let the prince come to drill down the crotch of my pants in my life, I will shine on the lintel when I die!"
The thin-faced eunuch originally disagreed, and he didn't dare to think of such a disrespectful thing on weekdays, but then he was also a little moved, this is the prince!
Suddenly, at this time, there was a voice asking for peace, which was a little far away and could not be heard really.
The two eunuchs quickly restrained the malice on their faces, quickly cleaned up the ground, and rudely removed the food from the faces of the Seventh Prince, and at the same time grabbed a few hairs, and hurried out of the palace gate regardless of the Seventh Prince's shouting.
Fu Chen waited for about a cup of tea, and was sure that the two would not come back, before walking in.
Just now, he wasn't sure if shouting out the voice of asking for peace would lead the two eunuchs away, but fortunately, they were already weak-hearted.
He approached Shao Huachi gently, but found that the young man was drooping his head, completely immersed in his own world, tinkering with his clothes, and he didn't notice Fu Chen, so he approached and patted him lightly on the back, shouting, "Your Highness the Seven?"
The ghostly face was facing Fu Chen, but he had seen something more terrifying than this in his previous life, so he didn't show disgust, but took the strip of cloth he brought with him and gently wiped off the blood.
Fu Chen couldn't see any camouflage in his eyes, he knew that some people who were good at camouflage and anti-reconnaissance capabilities could confuse their eyes and play themselves so that they could even deceive themselves. He once assisted the police and did psychological counseling for a criminal, who used to be a professor of criminal psychology, and the negotiation process was very unsmooth, and Fu Chen was brought into the other party's world many times when he was in contact with the other party.
But he didn't think that Shao Huachi, who was still a teenager, had the ability to be fake.
At least for now, in his judgment, Shao Huachi should really be burned into an idiot.
Fu Chen saw that the rice was actually soaked in yellow liquid, which made him have a bad association.
"Can't eat it. He took Shao Huachi's hand, and when he saw the other party's tilted head and puzzled appearance, he repeated gently, "No, can, eat!"
"Ahh
Fu Chen was helpless, and he didn't know how long this person had lived like this, coupled with gestures and fierceness, Shao Huachi finally retracted his hand in fear and didn't touch the rice bowl again.
Fu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Shao Huachi's stupidity was not aggressive, but it had just degenerated into a child-like mind, and he still knew fear and pain.
He helped the Seventh Prince to straighten his clothes, and picked up the silver mask and wiped the stains on it, but he didn't put it back on Shao Huachi, although this mask can be sold for a lot of money, but no one took it, about the goal is really obvious, everyone knows that this is the only person in the palace who needs to use a mask.
It didn't take much effort for him to help Shao Huachi indoors, this room didn't look shabby, but everywhere showed the status of the former owner, and the decoration was luxurious. Thinking about it, there is some understanding, the queen can't give Shao Huachi too bad, and the name of mistreating the prince will fall to her.
Fu Chen went out to get a basin to get water and prepare to freshen him up, and found that there were really no people serving in this courtyard, if there were those two eunuchs just now, I am afraid they would have come out long ago, and he guessed that the people who served should "wait until there is a need" to appear.
It's just that I don't know where the subordinates who followed the Seven Princes have been assigned, and then I feel that this is not something he should worry about.
As soon as I came in with a basin, I saw Shao Huachi sitting on the couch with a look of panic. Perhaps because of the warm interaction with Fu Chen just now, Shao Huachi instinctively got a little close to Fu Chen, looking like a little hamster in an unfamiliar environment, and his eyes lit up when he saw Fu Chen come in.
Fu Chen sat beside him, wringed a dry handkerchief and gently wiped the uneven skin surface of Shao Huachi's face, the broken tumor, and the red-purple pus that flowed out and exuded a black gas, exuding bursts of foul smell, all of which showed that Shao Huachi was in pain, and he had heard that Shao Huachi would be in pain every once in a while, and Fu Chen could imagine the heart-rending pain just by looking at it like this.
Wipe off the pus that keeps gushing out, until the wound is almost unable to flow anything, and then sprinkle some medicine powder to stop bleeding, of course, this is the share of the next person, and I usually save so much.
Fu Chen didn't dislike it and even his eyes were calm and indifferent, such a calm temperament made Shao Huachi no longer afraid at all, and he didn't even shout because of pain. Watching Fu Chen's smooth movements, he sat obediently in place.
Fu Chen didn't have ointment, so he could only help people clean the wounds and sprinkle some useless medicinal powder, and tidied up the unkempt hair a little, he didn't help Shao Huachi groom up, so that those subordinates knew that someone had come, and he didn't want to expose himself.
After all the tidying up, and carefully removing the traces of his visit, Fu Chen did not put a mask on Shao Huachi.
"The mask is stuffy, it's not good for your wounds, so don't wear it when no one is around. Fu Chen didn't care if Shao Huachi understood it or not, and put the mask on the table.
The half of the face without cancer looked at Fu Chen ignorantly, the candlelight shone on the jade-like face, and a pair of clear eyes seemed to be able to look into people's hearts. From the first time they met, Fu Chen found that the Seventh Prince had a pair of eyes that could penetrate people's souls, if he was a young wolf before, he was now like a little milk dog, so that Fu Chen did not regret today's actions.
He is long past the age of impulsiveness, but that doesn't mean he can truly destroy humanity.
took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and opened it to reveal a faint fragrance, which was peach blossom cake. On weekdays, when he was on an errand because he was afraid of accumulating too much food, Fu Chen ate very little, he would pack some food and carry it with him, and when he was really hungry, he would pad his stomach a little.
Of course, this osmanthus cake did not come out of Fu Chen's usual big pot of rice, but a food box sent by the ink painting. In modern times, some people will despise it, knowing that the other party has a purpose, and still using that pastry, why do they have no backbone at all. Having tasted the pain of being hungry enough to digest his stomach, Fu Chen only felt that the backbone energy could not fill his stomach in this palace.
When he looked up, he saw Shao Huachi's eyes glowing when he saw eating, and he looked at Fu Chen, probably because Fu Chen didn't let him eat that meal just now, and now he was a little hesitant.
Fu Chen smiled slightly, worried that Shao Huachi would choke, so he poured a glass of water before breaking a small piece to feed him.
The corners of Shao Huachi's mouth are implicated in half of the tumorous face, cracked and swollen, and half of the mouth is deformed, as long as it is slightly pulled, the wound will crack open and the blood will collapse.
Fu Chen fed very carefully, as much as possible not to touch the other half, one fed the other mouth and opened his mouth, the two cooperated tacitly, and the scene in the candlelight actually made people have a kind of warmth of tears. Feeding all the pastries into Shao Huachi's stomach, the Seventh Prince burped, and he was actually a little cute. People are a little staggered, sticking to Fu Chen's body and drowsy.
People know how to seek profit and avoid evil, even a fool with a low IQ knows who will not beat and scold himself, and happy emotions will remain in his brain. Fu Chen didn't leave, letting him lean on himself like this, and even directly ignored the other party's stench and sour body, and the other party's hairy head rubbed against his neck, a little itchy, but also a little warm.
A powerless and stupid prince reassures Fu Chen that people's hearts are fickle, and only fools and crazy people in this palace can give him a sense of security.
After making sure that Shao Huachi was asleep, Fu Chen returned to the canteen of the prison courtyard and met the high-spirited Ye Xin.
Ye Xin was originally the godson who served them in charge of Mu Ruida, but later Fu Chen learned that Ye Xin had already turned to follow Li Xiangying, and after Li Xiangying gained face from Qi Guifei, Ye Xin also rose to become a great eunuch, and the great eunuch was from the fourth grade, although he was the lowest level of eunuchs, he was much higher than them.
He saw Fu Chen and smiled, "Isn't this Fu Chen, I heard that your little follower committed an accident and ascended to heaven, and cried bitterly in the middle of the night, right?"
What the little follower said was that Chen Zuoren had left for January, and Fu Chen knew that Chen Zuoren was temporarily transferred to deliver lychees, and he was the original Ye Xin's errand and became a substitute for the dead ghost.
To say that Wang Fugui reminded Fu Chen to be careful of Ye Xin before, just because this person will repay him, and he has a lot of clever words to the top, but compared to his own low status, he completely changed his face, of course, there is always no shortage of such people in the palace, and Fu Chen took Ye Xin's place to serve Mu Ruida, which is not pleasing to the eye in Ye Xin's opinion.
Some of the eunuchs around Ye Xin laughed together, and Wang Fugui, who heard the movement here, saw Ye Xin and rushed over to block in front of the thin Fu Chen, in his opinion, Fu Chen, who had always been easy to talk, would definitely suffer a loss against Ye Xin.
"Ye Xin, our well water doesn't interfere with river water, it's your ability to have your Yangguan Dao, but it's best not to mess with us!" Because Wang Fugui is big, his face is very fierce, and he looks really a bit bluffing.
Ye Xin laughed, "It's really a deep friendship, I am so moved." β
The smirk was accompanied by a sharp voice, which was very harsh.
A little eunuch ran in outside and hurriedly said something in Ye Xin's ear, Ye Xin's face changed, and he didn't bother to talk to Fu Chen and the others anymore.
Before leaving, he looked at the group of little eunuchs and smiled happily, "Tomorrow is the day of stubble inspection again, I wish you a happy life." β
It wasn't until Ye Xin left in a hurry that Wang Fugui's blue face eased slightly, turned around and checked Fu Chen up and down, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he patted Fu Chen's shoulder, "It's okay!"
"Well, I'm fine. Fu Chen was a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong, there's something wrong with your face. β
"You know, stubble inspection is never going to be fun. Fu Chen suppressed a somewhat irregular heartbeat and smiled bitterly.
Wang Fugui didn't notice anything abnormal, and his expression was quite ugly and he nodded.
Fu Chen was eating absentmindedly, while thinking about Ye Xin's words before leaving just now, checking the stubble.
The so-called stubble inspection is a procedure that must be passed every six months to check whether the eunuch is really clean, or whether he is completely "clean".
It is rumored that there were eunuchs in a certain dynasty who were not cleaned, although the rumors are still rumors, but this custom of stubble inspection has been passed down. After Fu Chen learned about the dynastic history of this world, he knew that this kind of thing was fundamentally impossible, this feudal dynasty had risen several times, in order to ensure the centralization of the emperor and the stability of the harem, some palace rules and laws were gradually improved, and the management of eunuchs was also quite strict.
All eunuchs without rank have to suffer once every six months, which is also the reason why Ye Xin, who has just arrived from the fourth rank, gloated. Checking stubble is an extreme insult for every eunuch, most of the eunuchs except for those who have committed something and can't enter the palace, they are all from poor families, if anyone is willing to castrate a good child, castration is fine, but they have to check their own defects every six months, isn't it a great shame.
For any eunuch, this is an unspeakable humiliating process.
But the reason why Fu Chen was dignified was because he was the one of the impossible accidents.
Every six months, this one is coming again.
If you want to say what the emperor attaches the most importance to, I'm afraid that "eating" can be ranked first. No matter how many layers of screening were passed through in this dining room, the emperor was still not at ease, so the position of "waiter" was born, which is sometimes called "appreciating and tasting". The dining room is also known as the imperial dining room, which is divided into the outside and the palace, which is designed for the emperor and large-scale celebrations, and there is also a dining room for the queen mother and is also called the longevity dining room, and the queen's Changning Palace also has its own internal dining room, and there are some small kitchens, and the specific functions are not repeated one by one.
Before going to Changning Palace, Li Xiangying brought Fu Chen to the chief administrator Liu Zong, and received a brief lecture with the other eunuchs, which roughly meant that they were not allowed to talk to each other, they were not allowed to look directly at Long Yan, and they were not allowed to speak without permission.
Fu Chen's eunuchs who are now on duty are always changing, and the rest of the personnel quotas are quite strict, from washing vegetables to side dishes to serving dishes, there are fixed eunuchs, and this kind of eunuch also belongs to the chef. The system in the palace is quite refined, and today Fu Chen made three errands, not only doubling the reward, but also choosing to take a half-day vacation a day. The detailed and strict system also has advantages, for example, no one spoke all the way from the dining room to the Changning Palace, everyone was orderly, without making a sound, the closer to the center of the dynasty, the more solemn the atmosphere was awe-inspiring, which was the influence brought by the imperial power.
Liu Zong waited outside with a water eunuch and palace maid, Fu Chen smelled a faint Buddha fragrance before he entered, and heard that the queen is a bodhisattva, and she worships Buddha all year round, which can be called the most charitable master in the palace. After a while, I heard the pleasant voice of the queen inside, "Let's pass the meal." β
One by one the eunuchs walked into the hall, they were holding a vermilion lacquer box full of dishes, the people who served the dishes were also professionally trained, no matter how many things were held in their hands, they were quite stable, the hijab on the top was uncovered, and the dishes that were still a little hot were placed in order of priority and priority, which was full of a hundred ways. This is the most common banquet meal in the palace during the Qianping period, Fu Chen once estimated the price of each meal, at least 150 taels, many families do not have a tael of income a year, it is quite luxurious.
All the dishes are made of gold, but ivory, ceramics, silver, etc. are also commonly used. Almost all emperors of every dynasty and generation like to use gold to show their nobility, and Emperor Jin Cheng is more persistent in extravagance, and he will be angry when he changes utensils at will, so when a hundred dishes are put on the table, they are full of gold.
The palace people entered with Fu Chen, as well as four other eunuchs and two palace maids, two waiters, two cloth vegetables, and two laymen.
The intermittent conversation of the emperor and queen came from the inner room.
"The concubine also looks at this child pitifully, so she naturally takes care of it a little more......"
"Hua Chi is stupid now, and I can only rest assured if I let you here. β
"What is the emperor's words, this is what the concubine should do. β
β¦β¦
"Are you really going to send the Seventh Prince to be a proton?"
"How can you ...... this stupidity?"
β¦β¦
"Draft...... The emperor has a favorite ......"
"The affairs of the harem are entrusted to you......"
β¦β¦
Fu Chen couldn't hear the conversation clearly, but from these words, he could probably hear that the emperor was quite satisfied with the empress. Proton, Shao Huachi is going to be sent out?
It seems that everything makes sense, why the emperor, who has always ignored Shao Huachi, suddenly wants to see the Seventh Prince, why does the queen completely dress Shao Huachi out to meet the emperor, but a stupid prince sends it out, which country will accept such an insincere "gift".
It wasn't until Liu Zong said "Meal Qi" that the emperor and queen came out together, and behind them was the person who made Fu Chen no stranger, Shao Huachi, the seventh prince.
