Chapter 22: Fauber
"Fu Bo is good, the little one has seen Fu Gonggong."
Seeing this person, Gui Xi, who was following Chu Bing, hurriedly stepped forward to bow down.
"Well, Xiao Xizi, you have worked hard to serve by His Highness's side, get up quickly." Fauber smiled and waved his hand, beckoning Guixi to get up.
Fu Bo, the housekeeper in Chu Bing's mansion, is regarded as the chief eunuch in terms of rank.
However, compared with the powerful eunuchs in the palace, Fu Bo is not a little worse.
There's no way, with Chu Bing, a waste prince, how powerful do you want to be?
But Fauber didn't care.
He was originally a person next to Chu Bing's biological mother, although Chu Bing's biological mother was only a palace maid, but since she was pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, this level naturally had to be mentioned.
Eunuchs and palace maids and other attendants naturally had to be equipped, and Fu Bo came to Chu Bing's biological mother at that time.
Therefore, Fu Bo grew up watching Chu Bing.
Chu Bing lost his mother at a young age and was helpless in the palace, but thanks to Fu Bo's care, he was able to grow up smoothly, from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fu Bo has a life-saving grace for Chu Bing.
Therefore, no matter how ridiculous the predecessor Chu Bing is, he has always been respectful and grateful to Fu Bo.
Later, Chu Bing left the palace as an adult, and Fu Bo also applied to leave the palace and become the head of Chu Bing's prince's mansion.
Many people don't understand Fu Bo's choice, after all, Fu Bo was in the palace at that time, and he was also a high-status eunuch in charge.
From a bigwig in the palace to Chu Bing, a powerless prince who can't see the slightest future, no matter how you look at it, it can't be called a wise choice.
But Fu Bo said that he was really tired of intriguing in the palace all these years, and now he just wants to follow the Nine Emperor Princes who have seen him since he was a child, and he doesn't want to pay attention to other things anymore.
In this way, Fu Bo changed from the chief eunuch in the palace to the head of Chu Bing's prince's mansion, with full authority over all matters in the prince's mansion.
Over the years, Chu Bing has been messing around and spending lavishly, but thanks to Fu Bo's clever management, he can maintain this prince's mansion.
"Your Highness, you're back. This is the last battle for the king. But you have already said that you will not participate, and it will not be difficult for you to come to the emperor. Fu Bo walked over, took Chu Bing's hat, handed it to Guixi on the side, and said with a smile.
"Haha, of course not, who is the master, how can he be embarrassed by him?"
Chu Bing's problem was solved, and he also had a smile on his face, and said with a smile.
"That's good, the battle for the king is over, His Royal Highness has not been crowned king, and he will not be involved in the chaos of seizing the heir in the future. According to the unspoken rules of the past dynasties of Dashu, if you don't participate in the succession, you won't be disturbed by those bad things. In the future, as long as you are a prince in a proper manner, not to mention being rich and noble, it is easy to get away with old age, and the old slave will rest assured. Fauber said with a smile on his face.
The end of the king? Getting old?
A smile appeared on Chu Bing's face, and he said, "Fu Bo, you are wrong about this. The battle for the king is not over yet. ”
"Not over? Impossible! Now among the princes of the dynasty, the only ones who have not been crowned kings are the fourth prince Chu Huang, the fifth prince Chu Yu, the seventh prince Chu Hong and Your Royal Highness.
The four princes are indifferent and ambitious, and they did not participate in the first five battles for the king, and they will not participate this time. The Seven Princes were afraid of being crowned king, so naturally they would not participate. And if His Royal Highness also withdraws, then the throne will naturally fall to the head of the five princes. Something must have happened in it. Fauber said in surprise.
Chu Bing's face showed a hint of discoloration: "Huh? Fauber, are you familiar with these situations? ”
"Huh? Ao, this is a major matter related to His Highness, and the old slave naturally wants to inquire clearly. Fauber's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said.
"I see, thank you so much." Chu Bing nodded without thinking much about it, and continued to smile: "But Fu Bo's analysis is not wrong at all. It's just that something did change. ”
"I wonder what happened?" Fauber asked.
Chu Bing pointed to his nose with a smile and said, "The place where the accident happened is here!" ”
"Is it Your Highness?!" Fauber was stunned.
Chu Bing said with a smile: "Yes, this time my father and emperor announced the battle for the king, and I will ...... Haha, Chu Yu's guy is a. Son, and set up the archway. I told him to shoot himself in the foot! ”
Chu Bing told Fu Bo about the situation of Wuji Palace as it was, and Gui Xi, who was standing on the side, was full of joy.
Chu Bing's status is not high, he is looked down upon, and even with him, a personal eunuch, he is often bullied.
If Chu Bing can really be crowned king this time, then he will be able to exhale and raise his eyebrows.
It's just that Chu Bing, who was in the midst of joy, didn't notice that Fu Bo on the side had completely stiffened his face.
"Fauber, Fauber? Fauber!! ”
"Huh? In, in, what is the matter with His Highness calling the old slave? ”
"What's wrong with you? I don't know how to start a daze. Chu Bing looked at Fu Bo strangely.
"Well, it's the old slave who is rude, the old slave is old and frail, and when he woke up this morning, he felt a little uncomfortable. I have neglected Your Highness, please forgive Your Highness. Fauber said.
Chu Bing waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it, the relationship between the two of us, what to talk about forgiveness." When you are old, you should rest more, and leave the affairs of the house to others. ”
"Your Highness Xie is considerate, but I don't know what His Highness is calling the old slave?" Fauber said.
Chu Bing smiled: "It's nothing, I just want you to go to Chu Yu to receive the Tianyuan Book House." Although this Tianyuan Book House was sentenced to me by my father, my fifth brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I am afraid that he will be a moth again, so I still hope that you will go to the town. But since you're not feeling well, let Guixi go. ”
"No need, it's better to go as an old slave, Your Highness has thought it through, Guixi is young after all, and those people won't buy his account. It's safer for the old slave to go, and besides, His Highness can't be left without someone to serve him. Fauber said.
Chu Bing hesitated a little: "But Fu Bo's body ......"
"Hehe, it's okay, people are old, it's all like this, for people of my age, it's a good thing to be active more." Fauber laughed.
Chu Bing thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I won't stop it." Fauber pays more attention to himself, and if he feels tired, he rests more. ”
"His Royal Highness Xie cares, the old slave will definitely handle this matter. However, according to the old slave's opinion, this reception of Tianyuan Book House is just a trivial matter, anyway, it is a boiled duck, which is eaten early and eaten late. In contrast, the school horse battle three days later was a major event, and the martial arts cultivation of the five princes ranked second among the princes, second only to the great prince who had entered the realm of qi training. His Highness confronted him, but he was afraid of ......"
Fu Bo didn't finish the next words, but the meaning was already unintentional, obviously not optimistic about Chu Bing's horse battle three days later.
However, Chu Bing is not surprised, as long as he knows a little bit about the inside story, after learning about this competition, he is afraid that he will not have hope for him.
After all, in the eyes of others, he was just a prince who had not yet entered the gate of martial arts, how could He De dare to compete with the fifth prince who had a ten-fold body?
But Chu Bing didn't want to say more, everything would be known by then, pretending to be forced to slap his face has always been the most popular thing for the people, and it would be boring if it was leaked in advance......
So Chu Bing just said lightly: "Don't worry, I have a plan for this matter." ”
"Well, since that's the case, the old slave won't say much, I hope His Highness will get what he wants." Fauber wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, just smiled.
Chu Bing nodded and said, "Then Cheng Fu Boji Yan." ”
After speaking, Chu Bing went into the house, but he was in a hurry to enter the house to exchange attributes, but he didn't notice that Fu Bo, who was standing behind him, looked at his back, revealing a complicated expression.
"Alas, there have been no problems in the five battles for the king, and I thought His Highness had given up. I didn't expect such a change to happen for the last time.
Is it providential? In this competition, it's okay if you lose, but if you win, I'm afraid that Your Highness will also embark on that road of no return.
Miss, can you see all this in the Heavenly Spirit? If you can see it, then can you tell the old slave what to do! ”
