Wang Qiang settled down in the palace, and it was still Xiao Lizi who was his entourage eunuch. Wang Qiang returned to the palace this time, in addition to the large number of silver tickets prepared by Tian Jingming for him, he also brought a lot of treasures captured by the repelled Qing army to the palace, he gave treasures and gifts to the queen mother and all the concubines in accordance with the instructions of Jiang Gonggong, and the eunuchs with heads and faces in each room also gave generous gifts, which was naturally praised by everyone. He is the eunuch of the six palaces, the deputy head of the inner house, and his position in the palace is second only to Lin Zhe, but he has no specific position in charge, the queen mother knows that Wang Qiang was transferred back to the palace this time because of his father's hands and feet, and she is ashamed in her heart, and it is not easy to make things difficult for Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang is also happy to be at ease, and he does not interfere in everything, but has become the most idle one in the palace.

Wang Qiang's return to the palace this time was originally aimed at Chen Yuanyuan, but Chen Yuanyuan and a group of dancing girls were arranged in the queen's palace, and the queen had a gap with him, and Wang Qiang did not dare to meet him rashly.

Wang Qiang first went to the palace every morning to wander around, and then went to Zhongcui Palace to play with the little prince, although he didn't know that this was his own son, but he had a love for this prince. Wang Qiang has a lot of ideas, and he changes his tricks to play with the little prince, and the little prince also has a relationship with Wang Qiang, as long as Wang Qiang goes, he will pounce on him in his arms. Taking advantage of the time to play with the little prince, Wang Qiang had to secretly save a thing or two with Concubine Li, but now his identity is different, and he has not been allowed to enter the alley. Wang Qiang wants to take a nap after lunch, and in the afternoon he hides in the house to read, there are many books in the palace library, Wang Qiang also has something to read, and he does not really read any sage books according to Chongzhen's will. In the evening, Wang Qiang likes to take a walk in the forest next to his residence and look at the scenery, this kind of idle and casual days are very pleasant, and the resentment of being degraded at first has gradually disappeared.

Wang Qiang's return to the palace was like a stubborn stone falling into a quiet lake, splashing ripples in the hearts of the palace maids. Wang Qiang is young and handsome, with a high position of power, but he is easy-going, without a little shelf, not as bitter as other eunuchs, he has a lot of money in his hands and fights for righteousness and money, and his popularity is excellent, he has the halo of capable ministers and anti-Qing heroes on his head, like a legendary figure, so that all women admire, this time he was demoted back to the palace and is a hero's fall, which arouses sympathy, especially Wang Qiang's tough masculinity makes this group of women fascinated. In the eyes of all the women, Wang Qiang combines all kinds of advantages, and he is a veritable "diamond vegetable household" in the palace! So no matter where Wang Qiang appears, there will always be a young and beautiful palace maid who comes to talk to him, and a few bold female officials are even closer to Wang Qiang. However, after two years of experience outside, Wang Qiang is not as reckless as before, although he is merciful everywhere after returning to the palace, he does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and now his identity is eye-catching, and there are people staring at him everywhere he goes, and it is inconvenient to want to move a little real, he is at the age of youth and vigor, and he has nowhere to vent his enthusiasm during the day, and only at night he goes back to his residence to secretly solve the problem, and he is very unwilling.

In the blink of an eye, in the late autumn season, this evening, Wang Qiang went for a walk in the forest next to his residence, the air in the forest was fresh, unusually quiet, and occasionally there were birdsong and insect calls.

Wang Qiang paced into the depths of the forest and found a person flashing on the path in front of him, Wang Qiang recognized that it was the female official named Xinrui in front of Concubine Yun. This Yun Concubine Wang Qiang has only met once, she is soft and weak, and her temperament is extremely docile, and she walks like a willow in the wind, but this Xinrui is plump and spicy, and the famous little pepper in the palace is not dared to provoke. This is the third time Wang Qiang has met Xinrui on the road, and the first two times were also when he was walking, and it was over to gossip with each other.

Xinrui walked over to Wang Qiang, and when he got closer, Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Xinrui girl, why did you come here at this hour." ”

"Ah, it's Manager Wang, Xinrui greets you." Xinrui forcibly saluted Wang in a little panic, and said, "I'll go here, find a few leaves here and take them back for collection." "It's a reluctant excuse.

Wang Qiang guessed Xinrui's thoughts, and he didn't break it, and said with a deliberate smile: "Oh, this habit is not unusual, then you are busy, I will go first." After saying that, he turned around and left.

As soon as he took a few steps, he heard Xinrui's footsteps hurrying up and shouting behind him, "Hey." ”

Wang Qiang stopped, turned around and asked with a smile: "Hehe, are you calling me something?" ”

Xinrui's face was slightly red and she came to Wang Qiang, took out a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, held it up and said: "I heard Sister Zhu'er say that you like to eat the fine snacks in the palace the most, it just so happened that I got two pieces today, I wanted to fill my hunger, but now I am not hungry, it is a pity to throw it away, so I will cheapen you." After saying this, he blushed first.

With Wang Qiang's current identity, it is not difficult to eat anything, but the beauty can't live up to her heart, so she took it and said: "Thank you so much, are you very familiar with Zhu'er?" ”

"Zhu'er is my best sister, we talk about everything, and I hear a lot of stories from you." Xinrui said.

The two chatted and couldn't help walking side by side, Na Xinrui liked Wang Qiang in his heart, he was bold and bold, his body was rubbing against Wang Qiang, and the woman's youthful breath gradually teased Wang Qiang's heart. Wang Qiang ate two pieces of dim sum as he walked, he saw a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered with a handkerchief wrapped in dim sum, guessed Xinrui's thoughts, and gently shook the handkerchief into his sleeve.

Seeing the opportunity, Xinrui grabbed Wang Qiang's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone: "You are not ashamed, you have eaten other people's snacks for nothing, but you even have to accept the handkerchief." ”

Wang Qiang put his hand behind his back and said with a wicked smile: "How can I be willing to return such a beautiful handkerchief, I want to take it back to my room, read the name of Miss Xinrui every day before going to bed, and kiss it ten times and eight times before I can sleep." ”

Xin Rui blushed, bullied Wang Qiang, wrapped his arms around Wang Qiang's waist and grabbed the handkerchief, and shouted in his mouth: "What you said is so pickled, I won't give it to you, give it back to me soon." ”

Wang Qiang's right arm was gently wrapped, the two bodies were already squeezed together, Xinrui's body stiffened, and involuntarily wrapped his arms around Wang Qiang's waist, and the two leaned on a tree. Wang Qiang was no longer polite, grabbed Xinrui's fragrant lips with his mouth and kissed wildly, his left hand wrapped around her waist, but his right hand reached into Xinrui's middle coat and kneaded it wantonly on his chest. Xinrui is still a virgin, without going through the wind and rain, how can Wang Qiang act like this, after a while, he gasped again and again, his body was weak, and he couldn't help but shout under his affection: "Okay, my brother, you want a slave, you want a slave!" ”

Xinrui's call woke up Wang Qiang, although he also wanted how to do, but he was no longer as reckless as he was at the beginning, knowing that once the identity of his fake eunuch was revealed, it was a fatal thing, he stopped for a while, hugged Xinrui and caressed it gently, Xinrui gradually calmed down, thinking that Wang Qiang was a eunuch, and he couldn't really ask for himself, he felt pity for Wang Qiang in his heart, stroked his cheek and said: "Good brother, sister only cares about being good to you, and doesn't care about the real or fake, just like the means just now, the slave family is inexhaustible." But you don't have to go to your heart. ”

Wang Qiang was moved in his heart, and kissed Xinrui lightly on his forehead and said softly: "Good girl, I understand your love, I am now a person in distress, I am not presumptuous, I will be worthy of you sooner or later." ”

Xinrui was said to be itchy, and the tide of emotions in her body surged up again, and she said boldly: "You have a precious identity, but you are so careful, in fact, many sisters and fathers-in-law in this palace are like that, but no one cares." ”

Wang Qiang laughed evilly and said, "What is that?" ”

"But they laughed at me and ignored you." Xinrui said angrily.

The eunuch and palace maid who were good in the palace married a vegetable household, did some things in private, and chatted to comfort, Wang Qiang naturally knew, but he was a fake eunuch, so he naturally didn't dare to do this, so he had to smile awkwardly and stop answering.

The two walked along the forest path for a while, and before they knew it, they had arrived near the claustrophobic courtyard of Concubine Yun, Zhao Qiang had always been a little curious about Concubine Yun, so he asked: "Miss Xinrui, you entered the palace with Concubine Yun, Niangniang is a Mongolian princess, and her status is precious, why was she claustrophobic as soon as she entered the palace?" ”

Xin Rui said quietly: "There is a hidden story in this. ”

"Oh?"

"After the rise of the Jin clan's power, there were many people who co-opted our Mongolian tribes, and many tribes took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Our tribe is a golden family, has been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is very difficult, and later our Great Khan put forward a policy of harmony, respectively, the two princesses one married the prince of the Jin, the other is my princess, into the Ming Emperor as a concubine, hope to be neutral. After the princess entered the palace, the emperor actually said that the princess was unclean, and directly entered the cold palace. My princess is the pearl of the steppe, her identity is precious, the ice is clear and jade, she is the goddess in the hearts of countless Mongolian warriors, but she was abandoned by the Ming Emperor, it is a pity. Xin Rui said indignantly.

"Alas!" Wang Qiang sighed deeply, this Emperor Chongzhen pushed the Mongolian tribe of Nuoda to the mortal enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for such a trivial matter, it is really mediocre, and it is also the death of the Ming Dynasty.

Xin Ruiwu said angrily: "We Mongolian women have been on the horse since we were children, and unlike you Han women, it is really unreasonable to say that we are unclean. ”

Wang Qiang nodded again and again, it is also common sense that the woman has been riding a horse all year round, and she also feels that Concubine Yun has been wronged.

Wang Qiang wore flowers and willows in the palace and was at ease, but he did not forget Jiang Yuquan's instructions to him, and secretly kept paying attention to expanding his power. Most of the high-ranking eunuchs in the palace had their own factions, so Wang Qiang focused on those middle- and lower-level eunuchs. He is humble and generous, no matter who is in trouble, he will help; He never spared rewards for those eunuchs who helped him run errands and deliver news; When encountering fights and disputes among low-level eunuchs, he always has to judge and make peace; When the old eunuch bullied the low-level eunuchs, he also came forward to support the weak, and others also gave him face when they hindered his position. Wang Qiang's prestige in the palace gradually improved, and he quietly mastered a force dominated by middle- and lower-class eunuchs. As for those palace maids, Wang Qiang is the "diamond vegetable household" in the eyes of all women, and he is deeply supported by all women. Wang Qiang also has a heart, and specially selects female officials with positions in various palaces and palace maids in key positions to get started. Those female officials followed the queen mother and concubines all day long, and they could get a lot of news between words, so that no matter what happened in the palace, Wang Qiang had channels to inquire about it, which was more informed than the spies in Dongchang.
