Chapter 17 Exploring New Territory
"Forget it, I'll reward you" Xiao Rusheng stretched out his hand, and the soft touch from his fingertips made Xiao Rusheng's heart shock. As soon as Xu Yanshan heard the words rewarding you, she was carried away by happiness, and swallowed the snack in her mouth, quite like Zhu Bajie ate ginseng fruit back then. Seeing Xu Yanshan's eating appearance, Xiao Rusheng withdrew his somewhat stiff fingers and began to think about life, if everyone around him is like this, if there is a famine in the future, I am afraid that the first person to starve to death will probably be himself.
"You solve all this, and come back" When Xu Yanshan reacted, she only saw Xiao Rusheng's back walking across the bridge on the other side. Looking at the snacks on the table that had barely touched them, she felt that she was really happy today. But she forgot the most important point, that is, she was afraid that she would not be enough, so she specially asked people to prepare three portions of her food.
By the time Xu Yanshan slowly came back from outside, it was already dark, and Gonggong Xiao was worried all afternoon and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his little apprentice. Thinking that when the emperor came back today, Xu Yanshan didn't come back with him, and heard the emperor talking to the new starling brother about why it was so useless and dead or something, and the frightened Gonggong Xiao thought that his retirement road was endless. Grandpa Xiao didn't dare to ask directly, so he could only think about it on the side.
"I'm really anxious, you dead boy, where have you been, why are these clothes still wet?"
"Huh? Master, I thought I would never see you again."
When Father-in-law Xiao heard about his feelings, something really happened.
"What's the matter, tell the master" So Xu Yanshan told everything about the emperor's reward today, and also told her about how to deal with these things. It was probably in the hundred gardens that she fed all the cats, visited every tree where there was a bird's nest, and then there were the fish in the lake but one of them fell in it without paying attention, and when she got up, she found that the snacks had sunk to the bottom of the lake, and then she regretted why she didn't feed the fish in the first step. After listening to this, Gonggong Xiao felt that his worries this afternoon were all in vain, and what was even more annoying was that the child thought of cats, birds and even fish, and he didn't think of bringing them back to honor himself.
"Look at what you have become now, why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, the emperor is about to run out of food, and you have to keep vigil tonight."
"Why am I again, master, you see that I am so pitiful, can you arrange someone else?"
"Someone else? Where did the others come from, the vigil is a compulsory course for every eunuch chief, do you want to change it to someone else? ”
"Don't be angry, master, I'll keep it, or I'll keep it, I like the vigil the most"
That night, Xiao Rusheng fell asleep with Xu Yanshan's snoring. Because Xu Yanshan was afraid that the opportunity she had won so hard would be replaced by others, she repeatedly assured Gonggong Xiao that she would keep a good vigil, and volunteered to keep it by herself. After several days of this cycle, Xiao Rusheng got used to listening to this sound to sleep, and he would have insomnia without this sound. He also practiced the ability to listen to voices and distinguish people, is it Xu Yanshan's snoring Xiao Rusheng knew it as soon as he heard it. So Xu Yanshan officially entered the hall and occupied her place in the health palace.
Soon the news spread throughout the palace. Xu Yanshan instantly became a fragrant dumpling, and everyone wanted to take a bite, but after what she saw and heard in the palace during this time, she knew that she often had to calm down at this time, and she must stick to the emperor's line, otherwise it would be in vain. In this ethereal dynasty, everything is unknown, but the woman's sixth sense tells her that this superficially kind emperor is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Therefore, she must gain the absolute trust of the emperor, and of course, sometimes it is okay to use him to create some wealth for herself. After figuring it out and deciding on its own route, Xu Yanshan seemed to be more relaxed, no matter how the outside world connected the other party, it was not in the service area, it was also in vain. She still amused the emperor as usual, joking with the people around her, and making up some silver taels or something to the palace maids who came to inquire about the emperor's movements. But just when she thought that life would go on peacefully, the Queen Mother summoned her.
She didn't figure out why the Queen Mother wanted to see her at first, but she quickly reacted, but she didn't want to see her, she almost made a big mistake, and she forgot to report to the Queen Mother about the recent interaction between the emperor and the harem. When people are old, they always want to hold their grandson, but the emperor has no children under his knees, this old lady gossips about her son's sex every day, and finally had a happy event some time ago, although it is the stomach of the concubine who he doesn't like to move, but the heart is still happy, as the saying goes, it is the relatives of the next generation. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and as soon as the news came out, there was a miscarriage, so the old lady was still angry and had a little illness, and she didn't stop for a few days and started to supervise the work again. Xu Yanshan couldn't help but wonder if the old lady knew that her son had lost Jin Sun, would she be angry directly. Of course, this can only be thought about, so that she will not be stupid enough to kill herself, or that sentence The royal affairs must not be messed with. How do you reply? Forget it, with the first lie, she has to use countless lies to make it round, so she should continue to deceive.
"See Queen Mother Chitose"
"Get up, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I thought I had forgotten about me."
"The Queen Mother has tormented the slaves, and the slaves are just afraid of being entrusted by the Queen Mother, so they have been observing for a long time."
"The mourning family knows, I heard that you have all stayed in the health palace, it seems that the emperor's trust in you can be seen, let's say, what the mourning family has asked you to pay attention to?" Xu Yanshan felt that this woman was really strange and pitiful, her husband died early and had to raise the child by herself, so the child was finally older, and she had to worry about the next generation. It's just that this son is not worry-free, and he doesn't seem to be very interested in women, so how can he have a grandson?
"Back to the queen mother, the slave feels that the emperor seems to have some knot in his heart that cannot be untied, and now he is not very interested in the maids, at least since the slave was transferred to the royal errand, except for the good concubine Niangniang, the emperor has never been to other maiden palaces, let alone the maids"
"It seems that the emperor still can't forget the events of the year" The Queen Mother seemed to be in deep thought, Xu Yanshan was a little confused, she was really just talking nonsense. Although what is said later is true, it seems that there is some big gossip moving closer to him. "His temperament has always been very thin and cold, do you think the emperor will really start to like men as you said?" The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the worse she became, and she felt that her head was starting to hurt again.
