Chapter 61: The Gambler

As the saying goes, one person ascends to heaven when he gets the Tao, and one person becomes the emperor, and naturally the whole family is noble.

As the most favored concubine of the new emperor, Li Xuanzhi naturally took the lead in moving into the Qianqing Palace, and there was an advantage of being first served, and Li Xuanzhi immediately chose to live in Xinuan Pavilion, which can show his noble status.

Under Li Xuanzhi's strong request and struggle, the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, moved to the side house next to her and was taken care of by her.

The night was dark, and the Qianqing Palace, which was still bustling just now, had gradually calmed down, Ren Hongfei slowly paced through the inclined corridor and gently pushed open the door of the Hongde Palace.

Hongde Hall is much larger than the west wing of Ciqing Palace, where Ren Hongfei lived before, not to mention the tall and spacious inside, there are three in the light room.

Candles had already been lit in the hall, and as soon as the door opened, Lan'er walked out of the room and said softly: "Xiaofei? ”

Ren Hongfei smiled: "It's your husband and me." ”

Lan'er stepped forward quickly, stretched out her arms and hugged Ren Hongfei, pressed her cheek against Ren Hongfei's face, and cried with a whimper, this is the first time in ten years that she has been separated from Ren Hongfei for so long, although it has only been two days.

Ren Hongfei gently patted Lan'er's back and said with a smile: "What are you crying about, you should laugh, moving into such a big house is the joy of housewarming." ”

Lan'er let go of Ren Hongfei, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears in the corners of her eyes, Ren Hongfei stretched out his hands to hold Lan'er's face, stared at Lan'er's watery eyes affectionately, and looked at Lan'er like a ripe apple in a moment, but he was reluctant to push him away.

Ren Hongfei put down his hand and asked softly, "Sister Lan'er, has anyone bullied you in the past two days?" Are you hungry? ”

Lan'er shook her head: "No, in the past two days, Father-in-law Wei has sent someone to deliver food to me on time, but without Xiaofei, I can't eat." ”

Ren Hongfei smiled: "Wei Zhongxian has become more and more shrewd, but no matter how thin Sister Lan'er is, she will have to be blown away by the wind, and at that time, I..."

Ren Hongfei suddenly stopped talking, there were footsteps from far and near outside the door, the door was knocked lightly twice, Ren Hongfei said: "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and I saw Wei Zhongxian walking in with a food box, closed the door with his backhand, bowed to Ren Hongfei and saluted with a smile: "The little prince has worked hard in the past two days, and the slave brought dinner." ”

Ren Hongfei said with a smile: "I am tired of the internal officials and young eunuch Wei Gonggong personally delivering the meal, and Xiao Wang is ashamed to be ashamed." ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "The little prince has tormented the slaves, and it is not all about the promotion of the little prince. As he spoke, he put the meal on the table.

The round table in the Hongde Hall is also much larger than the one in the west wing of Ciqing Palace, five or six people will not be crowded when eating, and it is much more beautiful, the yellow rosewood table top painted with crimson lacquer, a circle of skirt hollow carved with dragon and cloud pattern, Ren Hongfei estimated that this table would be put on the 21st century, at least it could be sold for a few million.

On the table, there are four dishes and one soup: pork head meat mixed with cucumber slices, a plate of white meat with garlic paste, spicy stir-fried river prawns, stir-fried turquoise choy sum, and a bowl of Sixi meatballs.

Wei Zhongxian took out another pot of wine, took out a small wooden box from his arms and put it on the table, and then stood aside respectfully: "Little prince, please eat." ”

Ren Hongfei approached and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang is in mourning, this is a bit unruly." ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Little prince, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince, oh no, the Holy Lord has also prepared like this." ”

Ren Hongfei knew that he was referring to Zhu Changluo, although he had not yet held the enthronement ceremony, but he was undoubtedly a quasi-emperor, hearing the word "saint" to call Zhu Changluo, Ren Hongfei's heart was full of anger, and the distorted face of Lady Liu who was beaten to death immediately appeared in front of him.

Although Ren Hongfei was angry in his heart, his face remained unchanged at all, he sat down and said lightly: "Gonggong Wei also sit down and have a few drinks with this king, Lan'er, you are also hungry, hurry up and come to eat first." ”

Lan'er and Wei Zhongxian knew that Ren Hongfei had always been the same, ignoring the rules of the palace, and if he shirked, he would only find his own scolding, so they sat on both sides of Ren Hongfei respectively, Wei Zhongxian sat down a little nervously after Wei Zhongxian thanked him, and every time he approached Ren Hongfei, Wei Zhongxian felt like he was approaching a bamboo leaf that spit out slightly.

Wei Zhongxian picked up the wine jug and poured it for Ren Hongfei and himself, Lan'er had already started eating, and was already in a calm mood after seeing Ren Hongfei, but his stomach was already growling.

Ren Hongfei and Wei Zhongxian drank a few cups, stretched out their chopsticks and ate a few bites of food, then took out a cigarette from the wooden box on the table, lit it on the candle, and smoked it slowly.

Lan'er had already eaten most of her fill, so she got up and walked to the door of the hall and stood there quietly, listening to the wind and grass outside at any time.

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "The little prince is really like a god, everything is in the hands of the little prince, I don't know how the slave should act next?" ”

Ren Hongfei didn't answer, until the tobacco in his hand was about to burn out, then he said softly: "It's time for Keyin Yue to appear, let her go to Concubine Zheng tomorrow." ”

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, tomorrow! So fast.

Ren Hongfei told Wei Zhongxian in his ear for a long time, Wei Zhongxian nodded frequently, although his face turned blue when he heard the end, he still gritted his teeth: "Yes, the slave understands, please rest assured that there will be no accidents." ”

Ren Hongfei said lightly: "Well, acting so quickly is also for your sake, Zhu Changluo will immediately promote Wang An to the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and the eunuch of the palm print of the master of ceremonies, Lu Shou, will soon be dismissed, if Wang An becomes the eunuch of the palm print and the governor of Dongchang, you will be in trouble, and you will have to wipe your neck directly." Do as I say, and within six months you will replace him, and his life will be in your hands. ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yes, yes, Xie Xiaowangye is loved, and Xie Xiaowangye cultivates." ”

Ren Hongfei said: "All the things in my room have been moved? ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "They all moved into the back room, and the servants personally supervised and arranged them, and there was no mistake." ”

Ren Hongfei nodded with satisfaction, got up and went to the inner room to look for a while, poured out a dozen pills the size of small fingernails from a porcelain bottle, and wrapped them in paper.

Walked out of the room and handed the small paper bag to Wei Zhongxian: "Give this to Ke Yinyue." ”

Wei Zhongxian took it and put it in his arms, and was about to get up and say goodbye, Ren Hongfei said: "Wait, there is another thing, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, don't mess with them first, although one is for the matter and the other is for the imperial history of the city, both of whom are seven-rank petty officials." But these two people are very powerful, you are not their opponent yet, put up with them first, and then take your time. ”

Wei Zhongxian responded again and again, wrote down the names Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, and then retreated.

The sweat had already soaked his underwear, but it was not because of the hot weather, Wei Zhongxian wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeves after walking out of the Hongde Palace, he really couldn't understand that Ren Hongfei, who was so young, knew any wind and grass in the entire capital without going out of the palace gate or going to the court.

Although Xiucai doesn't go out and knows everything about the world, Ren Hongfei hasn't even read a book, Wei Zhongxian can only list this as the power of gods and ghosts, so although this time Ren Hongfei gave him a major crime task that can punish the nine clans, Wei Zhongxian still decided to put his life on the line!

Because he has been a gambler since he was a child, otherwise he would not have fallen into the palace as a eunuch, and because he is already in his fifties, how many more can he gamble in his lifetime?

Winning the bet is the wealth and noble status of the enemy country, and the power of the sky, and losing the bet is nothing more than going to the ground a few years in advance, even if it is not a good death, it will be brilliant once!

Wei Zhongxian, who had made up his mind, stepped forward, and did not look back all the way, and there seemed to be a brilliant light guiding him ahead.
