Hearing that the prince actually wanted to install people in his own house, Huang Qiong dared to ask for it. The guards on the outside are his men, and the twenty servants on the inside are his men. is sending a housekeeper to himself, so in addition to the name of an empty prince, it is estimated that he can't even be a fart in this mansion.

Huang Qiong, who understood the prince's intentions, hurriedly said: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, but when the courtier's brother lived in the palace earlier, there was a year when the palace maid took care of the courtier's brother for many years. Now these things in the minister's mansion, let her take care of them. If it really doesn't work, the younger brother will trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again. ”

Hearing Huang Qiong's refusal, perhaps he felt that he had done enough, but the prince didn't say anything. It's just that he glanced at Huang Qiong meaningfully and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I won't force the ninth brother." The ninth brother can now be regarded as opening a mansion and building teeth, and in the future, I, as an elder brother, will ask the ninth brother to take care of it more. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, and he still needs his subordinates to take care of him. Although the younger brother said that his horse's teeth were growing, it was the first time he left the palace, and he had no experience of living outside the palace. Please rest assured that the prince will abide by his duties as a courtier. ”

After Huang Qiong finished speaking, he also knew that he would not believe his words, and the prince would probably not even believe half a point. But for Huang Qiong, it doesn't matter if he believes it or not. I don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but I'm definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of things. He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze is blowing on the hills. He let him be horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river.

Seeing that Huang Qiong was at least still interesting, the prince didn't have much interest, and after hypocritically describing himself with the ninth brother, he simply said: "Since the ninth brother thinks so, it is very good." Okay, for the younger brother, I won't disturb the ninth brother to enjoy the new mansion today. When the ninth brother is settled, I am here to disturb the ninth brother for a glass of wine. ”

The prince's farewell made Huang Qiong breathe a sigh of relief. After a long time with this prince, Huang Qiong was really tired. Looking at these eunuchs, palace maids, and servants kneeling in front of him, Huang Qiong raised his hand and said, "You all get up, I'm still a little unaccustomed to this look." You are all people around your father and the crown prince, and you don't have to kneel down in the future. ”

"Thank you, King of Hejian for your kindness." Hearing the words of the new master in front of him and let himself get up, these eunuchs, palace maids, and servants stood up one after another. After glancing at each other, they felt that this newly promoted king of Hejian was quite kind, and he didn't come to the horse first like other princes.

Seeing these people get up, Huang Qiong glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids among them and said, "Which of you led me to see this palace, to be honest, I, the king of Hejian County, came to the door for the first time today." Now I know that I am the Hejian County Palace, and the door is open in that direction. If there is no one on the street, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back. ”

As soon as Huang Qiong finished saying this, the people below were still a little nervous, but they all relaxed a little. Huang Qiong even heard the sound of some people covering their mouths and snickering in a low voice. Although it was a bit rude, Huang Qiong didn't care. What he wants is this kind of atmosphere, in the future, everyone will have to live in the same house, what's the point of having a straight face?

And among these people, except for those whose servants are princes, the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids are all selected by the emperor. Huang Qiong bets that the identities of these eunuchs will definitely not be so simple, and there must be the eyeliner planted by his own emperor Lao Tzu. In the future, these people, like those guards and servants, must not be taken lightly.

Although she thought so in her heart, Huang Qiong's face was still calm. After listening to his words, one of the eunuchs stood up and dressed differently from other eunuchs, indicating that he was dressed as a seven-rank official, and said: "Master, the slave's name is Li Hai, and he is ordered to be the steward of this Hejian Palace. Now the servant will take you to see our Hejian Palace. ”

Looking at this eunuch, Huang Qiong was a little familiar. It wasn't until this eunuch bowed down that he remembered that this was not the first time he went to Wende Hall to see his emperor Lao Tzu, and sent him back to listen to Xue Xuan's eunuch? That day, he was still wearing eight-grade clothes, and now I see that this kid has been promoted by one level.

Under the guidance of this father-in-law Li, Huang Qiong took a general look at the new home where she will live for the next three years. Looking at the surrounding carved railings and jade bricks, as well as Yishui's new furniture in the late Tang Dynasty style, Huang Qiong shook her head and didn't say anything. Under Li Hai's explanation, Huang Qiong learned that when King Teng became a vassal earlier, he had almost moved this palace to a fine light.

King Teng is rude and extremely greedy, knowing that after he becomes a vassal, this Tengwang Mansion will definitely be given to his younger brothers. Because at the moment, not counting the six princes who have already taken up the domain, and the five princes who have left the palace to enter the palace. In the palace courtyard, there are still six county kings who have not yet left the palace.

According to the ancestral system of Daqi, the number of palaces in Beijing is customized. It's not that a prince in the palace is built to build a palace. Generally, after the prince became a vassal, the vacated palace was handed over to the prince who had just left the palace and was not yet old to live in the domain. He was a vassal himself, and it was inevitable that the palace would be vacated for his younger brother to live in.

Therefore, the money-greedy King Teng gave the palace where he lived in Beijing a big move when he was in the domain. Before the emperor rewarded this palace to Huang Qiong, it was almost empty inside. Not to mention the tables, chairs and benches, even the kitchen water tank and the bucket for water have been removed.

At present, all the utensils in the palace were added one after another by the Imperial Department and the Ministry of Industry after King Teng became a vassal last year. Because before Huang Qiong entered this mansion, this mansion was originally given to the king of Tong'an County, who was supposed to leave the palace in spring this year, but the king of Tong'an County has been ill since last year.

In the end, it was his own son, seeing such a situation as the king of Tong'an, the emperor who was worried that he would die faster after leaving the palace, so he postponed the time for the county king to leave the palace with a stroke of his pen. As a result, the palace, which has been roughly fully equipped, was picked up by Huang Qiong in the end.

Otherwise, even if the crown prince was in charge, it would be impossible to refill an empty palace in three days. Because there are some things, the Ministry of Industry, Zongzheng Temple, and the Imperial Division have them, but some things still have to be made on the spot. For example, the stables where several emperors have rewarded the royal horses are now tied, and the timber was demolished and sold when King Teng was in the domain.

Hearing this eunuch's somewhat chattering introduction, although Huang Qiong always had a faint smile on her face, she was not in a very good mood. The prince was still there before to boast about his performance, and after a long time together, he picked up other people's leaks, and he also took advantage of others. If the king of Tong'an County leaves the palace on time, it is estimated that this palace will have nothing to do with itself.

Perhaps, he will be sent to that corner that no one knows to fend for himself. However, the unhappiness in his heart was unhappy, but Huang Qiong did not show it on his face. After turning around for a while, he didn't see Huang Qiong, who was supposed to be Chen Yao in the mansion, turned his head and asked, "Excuse me, Manager Li, the person who sent me luggage before I came?" ”

"Lord Wang, are you talking about that Aunt Chen? When she entered the palace early in the morning with your luggage, she found that all the servants were selected by the prince, except for us eunuchs and palace maids. So he went out of the palace alone to find someone Yazi, saying that he was selecting a group of girls and servants. Huang Qiong asked about Chen Yao, and Li Hai, who entered the state quite quickly, answered happily.

"Oh, then do you know where that trafficker, no, slave buyer is? Can you take me there? Although Huang Qiong knew that human trafficking was legal in this era, and there was also a special human trafficking shop, she didn't know where this kind of place was.

Although she scoffed at the legality of human trafficking in this era, Huang Qiong also knew that this was a characteristic of ancient China at the moment. To put it mildly, the government of this era itself was one of the largest human traffickers. When officials or certain figures have committed serious crimes, family members, especially female dependents, are directly sold into slavery by the government when the house is raided, which is also a means of punishment.

"Back to the prince's words, the minions in this place still know. It's just that this kind of place is very filthy, and I am afraid that it will pollute the eyes of the prince. Li Hai looked at Huang Qiong and replied cautiously. For him, although this master seems to be kind, he has no arrogance. But these masters in the palace are as fast as turning their faces and turning books, so it's better to be careful.

Seeing the submissive appearance of the eunuch leader, Huang Qiong waved his hand a little boredly and said: "What is filthy and not filthy, others can see it, why can't I see it?" You go change your clothes, you're picking two guards, let's go over and have a look. Also, in the future, we will all be a family, I am a very casual person, I don't have to be so restrained in front of me, I am not a prince. ”

Huang Qiong knew that these eunuchs in her mansion were all low-grade eunuchs, but she was the only one in her mansion who was not a prince at the moment. As long as I am kind to them, I will give enough small favors to ensure that these eunuchs will not be bad, or that they will not fall to the prince's side.

"Back to the master, you are the master, and we are all your minions. Slaves should be respectful to their masters, but don't say that, it would be too torturous to kill the minions. If you really want to go, the minions will change their clothes and accompany you. "Years of life in the palace, how dare this eunuch take Huang Qiong's words seriously? If anyone really takes it seriously, then death is not far away.

From a concubine to a prince in the palace, he has served more than one master. That's what the masters said when they first got there. As a result, when they weren't all angry, they and the other minions became their biggest punching bag. When she was serving King Song in Concubine De's palace, Concubine De once said the same thing.

But when King Song himself was just delivering food, his movements were a little bigger. A bowl of piping hot chicken soup poured directly down on the body? Afterwards, Concubine De not only preached and preached, but the young and arrogant King of Song, but also beat herself for twenty boards, and when she was in the third dog day, she was also punished for kneeling for most of the day.

I lay in bed for more than a month before I could barely get off the ground. Punishment for kneeling in the palace of Concubine De is a common thing, not to mention, it is already the lightest punishment. Even if they don't satisfy their mother and son a little, they will either smash their heads and cover their faces with something in their hands, or they will be beaten on the board.

A palace maid in Concubine De's palace swept King Song's eyes with a lock of hair because she had no idea when she was waiting for King Song to wash. The hair on his head was dragged by King Song on the spot. And the concubine was drinking tea on the side, smiling and watching the excitement.
