Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 40 The Eunuch in charge of the White Jade Palace

Since Xu Ge left Beijing, Liu Baihe has followed the emperor. With a slender boning knife at his waist, he looks like no one is close. Most of the people in the palace found such a number one person, but everyone remained silent tacitly. Today's cold-faced guard didn't know where to go, and the emperor came to this White Jade Palace early in the morning.

According to the precedent, as long as the Son of Heaven is married, he can canonize the concubine, although the emperor has not yet married, but the queen is set after all, and the emperor will be waiting by his side Wan Jiaoer as a concubine. The Manchu Dynasty knew a lot about this, but the emperor used his little power in the harem, and no one was to provoke, although Wan Jiao'er was just a little palace maid from an ordinary background, and she didn't.

After Wan Jiao'er became Concubine Hui, there were more people around her, so naturally she could no longer live behind Ansheng Palace, but moved into the White Jade Palace. The White Jade Palace has not been inhabited for more than ten years, although the daily cleaning is also constant, but it still takes more effort to clean it up and live for the nouveau riche. The number of maids and eunuchs who ordered them to come over to serve was not far from the number of people in Ansheng Palace.

The furnishings in the White Jade Palace are very luxurious, and as far as the eye can see, they are all gold and jade, but they are inevitably a little cheesy. Wan Jiao'er was dressed in a dark blue flower-sprinkled cigarette shirt, with a green silk hair simply tied in a bun with a hosta, and sat on the edge of the bed. The emperor was only wearing a shirt, lying on the bed without speaking, and Wan Jiaoer was massaging him. In the gilded beast-shaped copper incense burner, the fragrance curls, and the emperor felt the soft fingers on his back, so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Gao has come to see you." Xiao Luzi came in from outside, saluted and said.

"Let him in." The emperor struggled to get up, took Wan Jiao'er into his arms, and said: "In the future, my companion will come to me without passing it on, and now he doesn't care." ”

The emperor said this to Xiao Luzi, he only learned these days that Gao Lishi was seriously ill a few days ago, and it was not a taste to salute, so he personally sent a doctor to diagnose it, but Gao Lishi was already very good under Lu Xi's service. The emperor was worried about his health, so he simply dismissed all the planting duties that he had on his shoulders, and followed him, which could be regarded as taking care of him. Xiao Luzi officially became the big eunuch in the palace, but he was still afraid of the old man who was about to die.

Xiao Luzi answered, indicating that he understood, and then went out again and brought Gao Lishi in. Colliers was dressed in blue-gray clothes today, and his already sickly face looked even paler.

"The old slave knocks on the emperor." Colliers slowly knelt down and saluted.

When the emperor saw him trembling when he walked, he let go of Wan Jiao'er, got out of bed himself, and walked straight over to help him up. Said: "Big companion, you are with me, but you are estranged. ”

Gao Lishi heard this, tears flowed, these days, although he is seriously ill, but he also knows the changes in the court and even the government and the opposition, and has thought countless times in his heart whether he is holding back the emperor's footsteps, at this moment after listening to the emperor's words, he sighed in his heart, Xiao Luzi is more suitable to accompany the emperor than himself.

Gao Lishi was helped up, and then saluted Concubine Hui Wan Jiaoer on the bed, and said, "The old slave knocked to see Concubine Hui's mother." ”

"Father-in-law Gao, get up quickly, you are the emperor's companion." It was inconvenient for Wan Jiao'er to come up and help him up, but the emperor picked him up again, and instructed the eunuch to move a brocade stool to sit down for him.

"My companion's health is too good, and I'm too busy these days to see you in person."

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, it's almost better, but my body is weak, and I'm afraid I won't be able to manage chores anymore in the future."

"Big companion, you will follow me in the future, idle and bask in the sun or something, I am getting better and better day by day, and you can enjoy happiness."

The emperor's words made Gao Lishi cry again, is the weak and crying emperor so brave now? Suddenly, some bad memories poured into Gao Lishi's eyes, he remembered some of the emperor's words, remembered the little palace maid who died under the emperor's hands, and some words that he wanted to say rose in his heart, but when he looked up and saw the emperor's eyes, he swallowed these words again. He knew that time was running out, and staying by the emperor's side could be regarded as giving an explanation to the first emperor Emperor Wudi.

"Why didn't Lu Xi come with me today, Big Companion." The emperor walked to Huali's table and sat down, and a palace maid poured him a cup of tea. The emperor's tone was a little displeased, thinking that Na Luxi was also a person who tended to be inflammatory, so he abandoned Gaolishi and left.

"Lu Xi is here, but it's not good to enter the door of this White Jade Palace, so I'm waiting for me outside the palace." Speaking of Lu Xi, the look on Gao Lishi's face was a little more relieved. When you are old, you can have someone by your side who will serve you wholeheartedly, which is a great blessing among eunuchs.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded, and he was quite satisfied with Lu Xi's character. Wan Jiao'er cleaned up her somewhat messy clothes and sat down beside the emperor. The emperor looked at her and said, "You still need a chief eunuch in the White Jade Palace?" ”

Wan Jiao'er naturally knew what the emperor meant, so she said to Gao Lishi: "Father-in-law Gao, tomorrow you will let Father-in-law Lu come to my White Jade Palace on an errand, and I will lack someone here to do things quickly." ”

When he heard this, he knew that this was actually the emperor's compensation for him, and immediately fell to his knees again and thanked God.

"Since you're here, let him in now, so you don't have to run again tomorrow." The emperor spoke again, he didn't pay any attention to the face of Xiao Luzi guarding by the door, and the emperor said again: "Xiao Luzi." ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Luzi saluted, and the dissatisfaction on his face vanished.

"You go, Lu Xi called in, and he will be in charge of this White Jade Palace from now on."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, Xiao Luzi turned around and left. He regretted a little that he hadn't found someone to kill Colliers a few days ago. Today, when he entered the palace, he earned a position as the chief eunuch of the White Jade Palace for Lu Xi. Besides, that Sun Qianying gave him benefits, and his godfather shouted all day long, just for such a position as the head manager, this position was given to Lu Xi, what prestige does he Lu Jin have in the future, who would dare to come to him to do something?

Although he was angry in his heart, he was kind when he saw Lu Xi Xiao Luzi, stepped forward to greet him with a smile, and took him into the White Jade Palace, while he retreated outside the door, and his face was gloomy again.

"Lu Xi knocks on the emperor, Concubine Hui." Lu Xi kowtowed.

"Get up. I called you today to give you a job. Eunuch in charge of the White Jade Palace, are you willing? ”

Lu Xi was a little stunned at first, now that the harem has no owner, this great eunuch in charge of the White Jade Palace is only the second-in-command under Lu Jin, the chief eunuch of Ansheng Palace. He looked at his master Gao Lishi, saw Gao Lishi nodded lightly, and then kowtowed again: "Thank you, Lord Longen, Lu Xi must live up to the holy hope." ”

Wan Jiao'er sat beside the emperor, but her hands were not honest, running around on the emperor, and she didn't know what she had encountered, the emperor groaned, and then his face turned red, and he looked at Wan Jiao'er with a smile, Wan Jiao'er's face was also red, but he didn't escape the emperor's eyes, his eyes smiled like a crescent moon, as if he was saying something.

The emperor coughed, lowered his voice, and said, "In this case, Lu Xi, you can take your master back first, I still have something to do...... Uh-huh......," the Emperor said, groaning again, his face reddening.

Gao Lishi wanted to say something, but finally took Lu Xi and bowed and retreated. Xiao Luzi stayed outside the door but knew everything inside, came in to disperse the palace maids, and brought the door with interest.

The emperor grabbed the hand that was making a mistake under his clothes, bit Wan Jiao'er's ear, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will clean you up?" ”

Wan Jiao'er giggled, her face was like a peach blossom, and she bit the emperor's ear in turn, and said, "How is the emperor going to clean up the concubines." ”

The emperor's heart was on fire, and the impulse in his heart couldn't be suppressed, so he threw Wan Jiao'er on the bed, and he followed.

The corners of Xiao Luzi's mouth outside the door were slightly upturned, looking at those little palace maids whose faces were red, he also felt that the mood of being destroyed by Gao Lishi was much better.
