Early the next morning.

The first-class and first-class celebrities in the Taiji Palace, the Ruian father-in-law in the Lizheng Palace, ran to the Inner Servant Province early in the morning, and the little attendants who took water from now on took fresh spring water from the dragon spring in the west of Chang'an City to send it to the Lizheng Palace.

"The Lord has been working hard these days, and he has always been fond of drinking clean and fresh springs.

However, the water in our palace, when it comes to summer, is always unclear due to rain or dry weather.

This kind of water, boiled tea and drunk, the taste is not good, but it is a big deal to hurt the dragon's body.

Therefore, from today onwards, you will take water from the dragon spring in the west of the city every day and send it to the Lizheng Palace! ”

A group of waiters responded again and again, but only one waiter asked puzzledly:

"Grandpa Rui, the little one doesn't understand...... If you want to take water for the Lord, don't just send it directly to the Taiji Temple...... Oh! Painful ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, this bold little waiter was twisted by the little head on the side, and said to Ryan with a smile No:

"Father-in-law, don't be surprised, this kid is new here, he doesn't know anything, and the little one will be trained by himself......"

Ryan said angrily:

"That's fine...... Don't teach these ignorant people, if you don't say the wrong thing, it's your ......

By the way, speaking of this bad thing, just in case, the Lizheng Palace naturally has to find someone to test the water to follow.

But you always get up early, but you can't get up so late in the palace......"

Ryan hesitated, and the little squire smiled and said:

"What's so hard about that?

In fact, just take a water, the father-in-law and aunts of the Lizheng Palace are all troubled, if you want to test the water, although you will be busy first, just wait for a moment to drink some tea outside the Taiji Palace, we will arrive from time to time.

At that time, the water was tested, and they were escorted into the temple by the father-in-law and aunts, which can be regarded as some blessings for us little ones! ”

Ryan thought about it, nodded with satisfaction:

"So that's it!

At that time, I will call the little Hu Jian (Hu Jian, in the early Tang Dynasty, because of the continuous wars with the Western Regions and various reasons for communication, there were often prisoners of war from the Western Regions or slaves who were sent into the Taiji Palace as tribute by the kings of the Western Regions. Although there are not many such people, most of them will stay and use them as musicians or other technical palace people. Although in order to show friendship and accommodation to the Western Regions, most of them will not be called purification, but for the safety of the palace, they still have the right to pay attention, so they are all called Hu Jian to show the difference) Guarding the water inspection?

I heard that he is a natural spirit smeller, and he is the best at distinguishing the taste of things. ”

The head of the little waiter is naturally full of words.

Ryan saw that the little waiter was such a governor, and he also liked it in his heart, so he couldn't help but praise him a few more words, and promised that if he did this thing properly, he would naturally be greatly rewarded.

The little squire was originally because of the mistake made by this new subordinate, and he had a heart, but when he heard Ryan like this, he couldn't help but feel proud and happy in his heart, so he complimented him again.

……

A moment later.

Seeing that Ryan was walking away, the little waiter called the new waiter who had just said the wrong thing, that is, his little nephew, to the side and scolded:

"Are you drunk and drunk?!

It's so undecent, what are you doing in that Tai Chi Palace?! ”

The little nephew is also aggrieved:

"Uncle, is it that Father-in-law Ryan said strangely!

Since they said that they were going to enter His Majesty's water, why did they ask us to send us to the Lizheng Palace!? ”

"You, you......"

The little servant looked like he hated iron but not steel, pointed at him and scolded in a low voice:

"It's been a few days since you entered the palace, haven't you heard of who lives in the palace?"

"Isn't it the first emperor who has become a nameless woman who has become His Majesty's favorite?

The palace maid is not the palace maid, and the maid is not the maid's......

Isn't it surnamed Wu?

There seems to be some kind of demon ......

Hmmm......"

Before the little nephew could finish the female word, he was gagged by his own uncle, who was so frightened that he turned pale, and looked left and right in a panic for a long time, and after making sure that no one heard it, he let go of him and hit him on the head fiercely:

"Are you going to die?!

Don't even think about bothering your poor dad if you want to die!

Demon demon demon, demon what kind of demon?! That one is also something like us that can judge at will?!

Even the queen has to stutter at her now, pointing her to compete with the concubine for favor......

What are you?!

What's wrong with having no name and no share?

At the moment, this is not yet the great filial piety of the first emperor! Wait and see, this is the great filial piety of the first emperor, and that one is a master!

You......

Is......

Why don't you open your mind! ”

was scolded by his uncle, and the little nephew also understood a little:

"But even if Your Majesty spoils her again, this draft ......"

"Stupid! At present, His Majesty can't leave her all night, and she has been staying in the Lizheng Hall for half a month...... Although everyone doesn't say it, they shouldn't know, but which palace and which palace doesn't understand that the grace of the one in this palace is flourishing now?

Naturally, she herself wants to keep this grace!

So by introducing this water into the Lizheng Palace, it will please Your Majesty, do you understand?! ”

"Oh...... I see, it seems that this master is not a simple person! ”

"It doesn't matter if it's simple or not, what matters is whether this master is good or bad......

Alas! You are also just here, keep your mouth closed, in this Tai Chi Palace, do more things and talk less. In the future, you will understand the benefits of this throne......

In good conscience, the people outside have passed this one on as a monster......

But your uncle and I are fortunate to have seen both sides, no matter how you look at it, they are all more kind and compassionate characters than today's queen mother!

And what is the heart of this shirt...... At first glance, you can tell that it is not pretended.

Forget it, don't talk about it, work hard, go! Good work! ”

The next day.

Tai Chi Palace.

Outside the North Point Gate.

The uncle and nephew followed the other two foreign servants who fetched water (the outer attendant means external attendant, this kind of person usually does not purify himself, and belongs to the people who do some foreign affairs for the emperors and concubines in the Taiji Palace, that is, hired workers. Together, they slowly drove the cart and horse to get water, all the way to the door.

Seeing the extraordinarily tall Hu Eunuch standing outside the corner gate, the uncle and nephew felt that this Hu Eunuch had only entered the palace at such an age......

But in the end, he didn't say much, just complimented the other party and asked the other party to carefully test the water.

Supervisor Hu carefully inspected the water, didn't say much, nodded with a smile, not angry, and then turned around and jumped lightly and got on the waterwheel.

The uncle and nephew only felt that this person looked nearly forty years old, but he was still extraordinary, and when he got into the car, he never saw the sound come out again, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

And when he saw this uncle and nephew looking at him like that, this Hu Jian was stunned, but he also smiled, and he was a very fluent official (Chang'an was the capital at that time, and the local pronunciation was called Guankouer) and said:

"Although I am a little older now, it was because of some kung fu in wrestling back then, so I had to serve the emperor...... All these years have passed, and I don't dare to be lazy. ”

Hearing this fluent official mouth, and hearing that it was a wrestler who served the emperor back then, the uncle and nephew calmed the doubts in their hearts:

After all, Emperor Taizong's love for wrestling was a well-known thing at home, and wrestlers from all over the world came in. Now that the Son of Heaven has changed, these wrestlers are also getting older, but in the end, they belong to the palace slave system, so they naturally want to enter the palace to serve.

So the uncle and nephew took this extraordinary former wrestler, and now Hu Jian in the Lizheng Palace, walked all the way to the corner gate.

Jin Wuwei, who was guarding the corner gate, had paid attention to this Hu Jian early, although he was dressed up, it was indeed a palace eunuch style, and he heard Fang Cai speak, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he didn't dare to ignore it, so he stepped forward to stop and ask.

Eunuch Hu didn't hide much, so he took the token in his waist and checked it with the guards, and said with a smile:

"Brother was originally a person outside the palace, that is, he entered the palace as a prisoner, and he should be in the three provinces with other people (that is, the three provinces such as the province of Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, the Hu eunuchs in the palace because they don't have to be clean, most of them are staying here, only a small number of them appear in the inner court, such Hu Jian are all stunts or particularly powerful characters, and basically have nothing to do with their homeland, at least they have to be able to check for three or five years before they dare to use it), but recently they have been fortunate to be loved by the Lord, and because they know that their brothers have some wrestling skills, and because of the days ago** In the early summer when Yang Jieyu was so good, she fell into the water and suffered from the cold inexplicably, and she couldn't afford to go crazy......

Alas, in short, the lord because of the palace recently too many strange things, and the Lizheng Palace's martial arts lady and Concubine Xu are friendly, because the concubine passed away is really sad, lazy to take care of the palace affairs, the lord then ordered the brother to go to the Lizheng Palace, but also hung the name of a Hu eunuch, only wait for some time, and then replace Jin Wuwei's card collar is (the card collar, is the identity symbol of the palace guards, the meaning of this sentence here is that he is only a temporary matter when he is a Hu eunuch, and he will soon become Jin Wuwei- This is also a very powerful promotion channel for capable Hu people in the Tang Palace. At that time, many people in the Western Regions obtained positions in the high-level of the Tang Dynasty in this way. ）。 ”

Hearing such remarks, and seeing that the waist card of the Lizheng Palace was not fake, the guards also had all the doubts in their hearts: No wonder, this kind of bearing is naturally not suitable for Hu Jian, but if it is said that it is to be promoted to Jin Wuwei...... Although it is impossible for them to guard the little guards, it is also ordinary for those who have the ability.

What's more, this person in front of him can be sent by His Majesty to guard the Imperial Palace, and he is also a "lord"...... It must have been quite liked by the first emperor and the new master. The future is bright.

So the little guards naturally relaxed, smiled and presented the waist card with both hands, immediately pushed the palace door, and led the horse to send them to the palace.

After being sent into the palace, he entered the second palace gate, and according to the custom, the water attendant was not allowed to enter it again. So the newcomer Hu Jian of the Lizheng Palace, together with Qinghe Minghe, who had been waiting here for a long time, and the other four Ming brothers brought out the henchmen and eunuchs since childhood, slowly drove these waterwheels into the Lizheng Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate of the Lizheng Palace, Hu Jian saw a snow-white beautiful shadow, standing in front of the palace vividly. In his heart, could it be that this woman was the one he had heard from the drunken words of General Li Ji's henchmen when he was in the Western Regions, and she was favored by Emperor Tang and was a talented Wu Meiniang?

But if you take a closer look, although she is beautiful and has a noble temperament, she really doesn't like that can attract a woman who is so obsessed with the Tang Dynasty who sits on half of the territory in the sea......

So I couldn't help but hesitate.

Fortunately, the woman was also extremely intelligent, and when she saw him hesitate, she immediately greeted him, and did not stop until she took three steps in front of him, bowed slightly, and then laughed quietly:

"Lu Xiang has worked hard all the way, but he still has to be so condescending and hiding the tiger's might, it's really embarrassing...... The little maid Wen Niang, but she is the close attendant of the martial lady.

My lady was originally going to come to greet her in person, but in the end, there are many people at the moment, don't say it's a lady, even the little maid has to do something to show others, please forgive me.

At present, the martial lady has placed refreshments in the hall and is waiting, please enter with the little maid. ”

Hu Jian - that is, the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, nodded with a smile, followed Wen Niang, and slowly entered the hall together.
