5. Chapter 5

Seeing that the green lotus obediently began to eat, Cangwu Jingyuan also soaked the hard steamed buns into the porridge bowl and ate them in a big gulp.

Half a steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge with clear soup and little water are obviously not enough for a fifteen-year-old child who is growing up.

Although she just came over with a bag of silver from Cangwu Jingrui today, she has no power in the palace now, even an ordinary palace maid can come to mock and ridicule her.

If at this time, let their group of dog slaves who see money know that they have silver in their hands, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to exchange for a little food, but they will also be robbed of everything.

"Who can use it before this rebirth?" Cangwu Jing Kite frowned and muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he got up and walked out of Qingqiu Palace and went straight to the Internal Affairs Mansion.

Come to think of it, even if this Cangwu Jingkite is not good, it is also the fourth princess of this Cangwu country, but when she shuttles through the internal affairs palace full of eunuchs and palace maids, not only does no one salute her, but she also has to suffer some white eyes from time to time and listen to some palace maids and eunuchs secretly ridicule.

However, once again, Cangwu Jingkite had already seen through how powerful the people in this deep palace were, and he didn't care much about it.

"Fourth Princess, you have a noble status, how come you have the time to come to this mixed place of the Internal Affairs Mansion?"

A shrill voice full of mockery came, and Cangwu Jingyuan turned her head to see that the other party was Liu Quan, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and the person she was looking for today.

Looking at the undisguised look of disdain on his face, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled instead of anger, leaned closer, and looked directly at Liu Quan with a pair of ink-like eyes without fear, his lips opened lightly, and he spit out two words in a low voice, "Zhang Xiu." ”

After the two words came out, Liu Quan, who was still arrogant just now, changed his face in an instant, and the corners of his lips twitched a few times before he barely squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, and made a gesture of invitation to Cangwu Jingkite very respectfully, and said, "Fourth princess, you don't seem to have received your monthly money this month!" The minion took you to get it, okay? ”

As soon as these words came out, Cangwu Jingkite didn't react, but she was so shocked that the eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs around who were waiting to see the excitement almost fell.

Who doesn't know that Zhang Gonggong, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, is the most vitriol and difficult figure in the entire Internal Affairs Office? For so many years, because there is a royal husband above 10,000 people under one person to support him, he usually dares to ignore even ordinary princes and princesses, and it is even easier to execute an unpleasant palace maid and eunuch.

But what kind of evil wind is blowing today? This head of the Internal Affairs Office, whose eyes are above the top, is actually respectful to the fourth princess who is the least favored in this palace? The palace maids and eunuchs looked at Cangwu Jingyuan and Zhang Quan in a daze, rubbing their eyes hard, thinking that they were dazzled and misguided.

"What do you little kings and eight lambs look at! If you don't do things well, are you waiting to be punished? Zhang Quan pulled a sharp voice, stared at the surroundings with round eyes, and the surroundings were shaken by fright, and hurriedly continued the work at hand, not daring to take another look.

After stepping into the house specially vacated by the Internal Affairs Office for the chief manager to rest, Zhang Quan drove out the palace maids and eunuchs who were cleaning in the house, and then looked around the house, and then closed the door after making sure that there was no one around, and looked at Cangwu Jingyuan with a nervous face: "Fourth princess, what did you mean by what you said just now?" ”

Cangwu Jingyuan sat on the Taishi chair in the room with a leisurely face, took the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, but he didn't drink it, "Gonggong Zhang has been a slave in the palace for decades, and he can be regarded as an old man in the palace, and he should know better than anyone that men outside the palace must be eunuchs when they enter the palace as slaves. Cut the thing! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Quan's face changed obviously, but he still stubbornly said: "I have been dealing with the internal affairs of the palace for 20 years, how can I not know this kind of thing, I don't know why the fourth princess has such a question?" ”

Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyes to look at Zhang Quan, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and sneered: "Why do you ask this?" Father-in-law Zhang, who made the matter of letting men and women outside the palace mix into the palace as palace maids, should know better than anyone why I asked this! ”

Zhang Quan originally thought that the four princesses in front of him only knew about Zhang Xiu, but he didn't expect that she even knew that Zhang Xiu was not a woman and his identity in the palace, and Zhang Quan's face instantly became bloodless.

But Cangwu Jingkite didn't seem to be ready to let him go like this.

After glancing at Zhang Quan, Cangwu Jingyuan continued: "A fifteen or sixteen-year-old man can pretend to be a woman and stay in the palace for several years without being discovered. And you specially arranged him to serve beside the empress, and your thoughts are clear! ”

Looking at Zhang Quan's gradually pale face, Cangwu Jingyu's tone suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Quan, you are not satisfied with following the imperial husband, are you still going to hit the empress with your idea?" You're too bold! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Quan knelt down in front of Cangwu Jingyuan with a puff, and said with a bitter face: "Princess Mingjian, that Zhang Xiu is indeed a man, but he is not the son of a slave, but the heir of the empress who gave birth to an old acquaintance with me outside the palace. As long as the princess does not report the minions, the minions will be willing to serve the princess in the future. ”

Before the rebirth, when the empress set up the heir to the throne, Zhang Quan suddenly made a big mess for the empress's biological son who was all-powerful in civil and military affairs.

Cangwu Jingyuan squinted her eyes lightly, looked at Zhang Quanzhi's face in a cold sweat, and said in a deep voice: "How did you look down on people and bully us Qingqiu Palace before, this princess can remember it clearly." What to do next, with Grandpa Zhang, your ingenuity should be very clear! Also, I advise you not to use any crooked brains, otherwise I can guarantee that your little secret will reach the ears of my mother before you do it! If you don't believe me, you can give it a try! ”

"The slave doesn't dare," Zhang Quan hurriedly replied with a relieved face.

can also spy on Zhang Xiu's identity under his strict cover, Zhang Quan will not be stupid enough to think that Cangwu Jingkite is just a useless waste princess.

He also understood that Cangwu Jingkite came to him today, instead of going directly to the empress to expose it, there must be a plan. In this tradable situation, he would be crazy to risk the secret being revealed to the detriment of Cangwu Jingkite!
