Volume 1 The Scenery of the Chu Kingdom Chapter 12 The bitterness of the eunuch Dexi
His palace is actually not big, a main hall, and the main hall is separated by a bedroom, a study, and a special bathing room. In front of the main hall is a large courtyard.
The palace maids and eunuchs have a total of two rooms, in the southwest corner of the palace, but there is a small garden behind the main hall, and there is a small pond in the garden, and there is a small rockery in the pool.
To be honest, it is not as big as his house in Yunan.
Half an hour after dinner, he looked around his palace. There were two guards in his palace, one of whom was Song Xiaotian, but they couldn't enter easily without being summoned.
He was followed by two palace maids and eunuchs, this eunuch named Dexi, has been in the palace for 20 years, but has not had any chance, more than 20 years, and is still just a eunuch with a class of eight products, so he often feels that he has never met a talent.
At the beginning, the family was poor, the third in the family, and there were two younger brothers below, and when he was ten years old, he was sent by his family to the palace as a eunuch. But he never complained about his family, he was a very sensible child. Gradually, he accepted this identity and the fact that he was a eunuch.
He wants to make a career in the palace and make a good life for his family. But he has no power or power, and in this huge palace, he is just a member of the turbulence, and he has never had a chance to rise.
I have always worked hard, never shouted bitterness, never shouted tiredness. The dirty work is tiring, and they all rush to do it themselves, but others don't seem to see their own goodness, and they only know that they have been doing the work for themselves.
Therefore, slowly, this person became taciturn, his personality became withdrawn, and he began to hate this palace, hate his family, and hate all the people and things that appeared in front of him.
He has always wanted to take revenge on this society and everyone in the palace one day.
Until one day, the lady noticed this person. She thought this person was so strange, he had been in the palace for 20 years, and he was also good at work, so he had always been a little eunuch with a class. It wasn't until later, when she found someone to find out, that she knew that this person was timid, stupid, and didn't know how to please others, so whether it was a new eunuch or a somewhat old eunuch, they all thought about how to do the work for him as much as possible, and take the benefits themselves.
So, in this way, twenty years of time turned a well-behaved and sensible little boy into a middle-aged eunuch who hated society, with no power and no power.
She felt that this person would be of great use one day, as long as she suddenly appeared on a certain day or at a certain moment and gave him a chance, he would be grateful to herself and use it for himself.
Until one day, Concubine Shuniang suddenly called him to him, said that she wanted to give him a chance, and asked him if he wanted it.
He nodded hurriedly, and almost hugged Concubine Shuniang with a handful of tears and said, it's been twenty years! Twenty years! Finally someone knows about his hard work!
He felt that his opportunity had come, his chance to soar to the sky had come, and he wanted to let all those who looked down on him and looked down on him know!
He, Dexi, will be a powerful eunuch!
"You know, I can give this opportunity to others!"
"Everything is up to the lady!"
He's not very smart, but he's not stupid either.
And the palace maid is an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who is relatively delicate and called Li'er.
"What you have to do is to borrow the voice of the third prince and do something that has lost your conscience!"
And the palace maids and eunuchs of this Tianxing Palace are all selected by the concubines, and there are two little eunuchs who are only eight years old, as the little friends of the third prince.
As I passed by the hut, I heard the sound of someone cleaning, which seemed to be accompanied by bursts of sobbing.
"Why is there still anyone crying?"
Zhang Chuchen asked Dexi behind him.
"Back to the third prince, maybe it's homesick! These two little eunuchs are called Little Fan and Little Stool, they just entered the palace this year, and they are eight years old! ”
"Eight-year-old to let the family do such heavy work? Still cleaning so late? ”
"It's the two of you today!"
In fact, it is the turn of the two of them every day.
Zhang Chuchen was a little sympathetic to these two little eunuchs, who were not much different in age from himself.
"Okay, I see, you go and call the two out."
So the eunuch Dexi covered his nose and called out the small fan and stool, and hurriedly asked them to give the third prince luggage.
"Meet the Third Prince!"
The two little eunuchs hurriedly packed their luggage.
They were very envious of the three princes in front of them, they were also about the same age, they were sent into the palace as eunuchs by their families, and he went directly to the palace as princes, but this was just envy.
"Alright, get up! Hurry up and wash and sleep, and stay with me from now on, and don't have to do anything, just wait for me!" ”
Zhang Chuchen said, he really can't stand it, how big is this.
The two little eunuchs were surprised and frightened, and they looked at Eunuch Dexi tremblingly, as if they were looking for what he meant.
"You don't have to look at him, in this Heavenly Star Palace, I'm the biggest! Just do what I say! ”
Zhang Chuchen said impatiently, I don't have the right to speak outside, could it be that in this Heavenly Star Palace, I still don't count?
"I'm not thankful to the third prince yet!"
Eunuch Dexi didn't dare to disobey the three princes openly, and hurriedly urged the two little eunuchs to thank him.
"Thank you, Third Prince!"
After that, the two little eunuchs slowly retreated!
"Dexi, then this thatched house will be handed over to you, the other eunuchs have already rested, don't wake them up again! Clean up yourself! ”
After Zhang Chuchen finished speaking, he took the palace maid and left! Dexi, who was left dumbfounded, looked at the back of the third prince and wondered in his heart.
"What's going on? Why do you suddenly have to clean the hut here? I thought my chance had come, but why couldn't I escape the job of cleaning the thatched house? ”
Originally, he was rewarded by the three princes during the day today, and he was going to take the three princes for a walk in the Tianxing Palace at night to get closer to him, but he was suddenly sent to clean the thatched house.
Could it be that the third prince knows that he is the lady of the concubine? Doesn't make sense? I haven't broken it yet, how can I be exposed?
Probably not! It must be that the third prince feels sorry for those two little eunuchs! These two little eunuchs don't know which life they have cultivated, and they can meet such a master as soon as they enter the palace.
Alas, if I could have met such a master when I entered the palace, would I have a better life now!
While cleaning the thatched house, he thought about how to teach the two little eunuchs a lesson, and jealousy made his hatred stronger and stronger.
It's just that he's still not very smart, he thinks that it was the lady who took a fancy to him first, and he had to be worthy of the lady concubine! One is one, and two is two. No matter how good the third prince is, it is the lady concubine who is good to me first!
But then again, Dexi is still doing a good job. After a while, the thatched house was cleaned neatly, and the craftsmanship was still not lost!
Dexi looked at the thatched house he had disturbed with great satisfaction, and seemed to have returned to the time when he first disturbed the thatched house twenty years ago, the same so clean, the same so satisfying!
"Third prince, Chu Jun has ordered, tomorrow you will go to school in the main hall!"
Li'er followed behind the three princes and said softly, she couldn't see through the three princes in front of her.
"Got it, Sister Li'er!"
Zhang Chuchen should arrive, in fact, he is still a well-behaved little boy.
When Li'er heard this, she quickly knelt down, scared!
