In the twenty-fifth year of the Xi Dynasty, the crown prince Yunren was seventeen years old, and the emperor appointed the daughter of Shi Da, the servant of the household department, Shi Xiuwan, to be married after the spring sacrifice next year.

"Your Highness returns to the palace—" The shrill voice characteristic of the eunuch sounded in Dongrong Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were cleaning outside the palace hung their heads one after another, put down their work, and knelt on the cold ground that had just been swept away in an orderly manner.

Bright yellow figures floated past everyone's eyes, and the kneeling minions could only see black satin boots, bringing a cool breeze on the tip of their noses. Then there is the python costume of the chief eunuch Su Gonggong of Dongrong Palace.

After a long time, when the footsteps could no longer be heard, everyone stood up one after another, picked up the tools and continued to work, but the hands were lighter, except for the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground, no other sound could be heard.

Zheng Xiao snorted, silently holding a broom to sweep the snowflakes that had just fallen, he stood far away from the palace gate, a new slave like him who had just arrived was not qualified to be too close to His Royal Highness.

A man can enter the palace, except to be the master, the eunuch. It is impossible for the master to stand at the gate to sweep the snow. So, this time he unfortunately became, eunuch.

□□ without that thing, it made him want to cry, his eyes were blurred, holding back two bubbles of tears, Zheng Xiao pursed his mouth and continued to sweep the snow strongly, hoping that the snow would stop quickly, if it was the next day, he wouldn't rest today.

I couldn't help but glance at the temple door, through the falling snowflakes, I could see that the leather curtain at the door was tightly covered, and the people inside couldn't even see a single hair.

The broom under his hand suddenly made a sound, and the eunuchs next to him tilted their heads in his direction, but his subordinates did not pause at all, Zheng Xiao hurriedly controlled his frozen fingers and held the broom.

This job of sweeping the floor of Dongrong Palace was obtained by him in every possible way, before he was just an ordinary little eunuch in the dining room, and he was in the middle and lower echelons of the eunuch group in the palace, although it was a little better than those who cleaned the gong bucket, it was indeed a little bit of power to be bullied. This little eunuch only cares about working diligently, saving the little silver every month, and he didn't think about pleasing his boss, so he stayed in the position of the eunuch for three years, from ten to thirteen years old, and the daily route is the line from the dining room to the entrance of the inner palace.

After that, Zheng Xiao came, and after the heavy blow of the little brother being cut, he found that the target of the strategy in this life was the crown prince of the dynasty, and the most honorable man in the palace except for the emperor.

Zheng Xiao was in a trance for a month, and after finally getting used to the latest way of peeing, he heard the news that the prince would marry the crown princess.

It was another heavy hammer, but it smashed out Zheng Xiao's fighting spirit, how could his man let others get involved!

So, after giving all the fifty taels of silver he had saved since entering the palace to the chief eunuch, Zheng Xiao became the little eunuch of Dongrong Palace.

The sprinkler eunuch is the lowest in the palace, and when he sees a high-ranking boss, he has to salute and say hello, and when he sees his master, he has to kneel at the end, and he can't even see the master's robe.

Zheng Xiao had been on an errand in Dongrong Palace for two months, and he didn't even see the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly, only vaguely remembered that the person was wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe, with a thick braid pressed on his broad back, a red tassel hanging from the braided tail, a black sable fur warm hat, and a huge ruby on the top.

There is a huge difference in identity in this life, Zheng Xiao doesn't know if the task can be completed, and now he can only work hard and wait for the opportunity.

In Dongrong Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yunren changed his indoor clothes under the service of the personal eunuch, lazily leaned on the warm couch, and looked at a portrait on the red sandalwood table, the woman on the painting was demure and gentle, beautiful and moving, and there was a neat small block in the upper right corner of the painting that read: The daughter of Shi Da, Shi Xiuwan, the servant of the household.

Yunren's brows furrowed slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, making a regular clicking sound. On the side of the table, Su Sheng, the prince's personal eunuch and chief eunuch, held his hands in his hands, and stood with his nose and nose and heart, without disturbing the prince's contemplation.

When the pendulum in the main hall was exactly twelve o'clock, Grandpa Su seemed to come to life, and bent sideways to the fallen prince and said, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch." ”

The prince came back to his senses, put aside the portrait on the case at random, and said, "Put it on." ”

"Yes. Father-in-law Su replied softly and neatly, walked to the door, and gave an order to the curtain eunuch at the door. After a while, the little eunuchs carrying food boxes rushed in, lowered their heads and set up the meal quickly and steadily, and quietly retreated.

He is seventeen years old this year, it is the time to grow his body, the amount of food is quite large, and he ate two bowls of rice after a while, and his stomach was eight points full, put down the chopsticks, and rinsed his mouth with tea.

Standing up, the prince asked Su Sheng, "The red plum in the imperial garden can bloom?"

Su Sheng smiled and said respectfully: "Your Highness still remembers that this morning's snow is good, and the red plums in the Imperial Garden are all open." ”

The corners of the prince's mouth floated in a slight arc, and he said, "Then go and take a look, just to eat." ”

Su Sheng hurriedly asked the prince to dress in warm clothes, personally held an umbrella, and the group went to the imperial garden.
