Lai Xing'er stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and looked, only to see a little eunuch of the same age as himself standing on the side of the road across the alley outside the door, dressed in a light green robe, looking at him with a smile.

"Pillar!"

Lai Xing'er immediately recognized him as Zhu'er, one of the four little eunuchs who worked together in Qixia Pavilion when he first entered the East Palace, and shouted in surprise, and rushed to the little eunuch in three or five steps. ”

Zhu'er dodged Xing'er's kick to himself, he saw that Lai Xing'er's hands were full of food, and he smiled and replied to him: "Now our Laizhangshu has become a little guy who runs errands for others." Go and put down what you're holding and come with me. ”

"Where are I going with you? Don't you see that my brother's identity is different now, I'm going with you, who will guard the door of the Jin State Mansion? ”

Lai Xing'er only said that Zhu'er was joking with himself, and asked disappreciatively.

"His Royal Highness King Mu has ordered me to come and pass you on, saying that there is a distinguished guest waiting to see you. How, do you go or don't go? ”

Zhu'er crossed his arms in front of his chest, and although his voice was not high, he seemed full of confidence.

"When did you arrive at the Muwang Mansion on an errand? Don't tease your brother. Lai Xing'er looked at Zhu'er with a calm and relaxed demeanor, and couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

"You were the secretary of the Yanying Palace at that time, and you were detained by the emperor, and you didn't go out of the gate, how much do you know about what happened in the palace? Go and hand over the things you bought in your hands to others, let's talk as we go, and tell Your Highness to wait for a long time. ”

Zhu'er's tone was unquestionable. Lai Xing'er had no choice but to say to him, "You wait here, I'll come when I go." He turned around and ran towards the door.

Lao Huang and Tang Kuan didn't know what they were talking about, and they were talking lively, when they suddenly saw Lai Xing'er running sweating outside the workshop, they were both taken aback, and asked him in unison: "What's wrong, running so anxiously?" ”

Lai Xing'er didn't care about saying anything, so he stuffed the food he was carrying in his two hands into Lao Huang's arms, and hurriedly reported to him: "King Mu sent someone to pass me on to see him immediately, and I came to ask the gang leader for leave." ”

Lao Huang heard that King Mu was waiting to see Lai Xing'er, where did he dare to stop him, and was about to say yes, Tang Kuan, who was sitting on the steps, had patted his ass and stood up, and said first: "Xiaguan has not seen His Highness since he returned to Beijing, so it is better to take this opportunity to go with you to meet His Highness, and by the way, I can say goodbye to His Highness." ”

When he heard Xing'er talk about King Mu, his eyes lit up, and he had the idea of begging King Mu to intercede for him.

Lai Xing'er had just learned about the relationship between Tang Kuan and King Mu from Lao Huang's words, so he did not refuse, the two of them greeted Lao Huang, and followed one after the other to the outside of the fang. Only Lao Huang's arms were full of some food, and he looked at the backs of the two in a daze, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Zhu'er saw that Lai Xing'er had brought a red-robed official out of the workshop, and he didn't know who Tang Kuan was, so he looked at Lai Xing'er with puzzled eyes. Lai Xing'er saw that he didn't know how to salute in front of Tang Kuan, and he was quite slack, so he introduced to Zhu'er: "This Lord Bazhou Thorn Shi Tang is a ......."

That pillar is not stupid, only to hear that this red-robed official who is not good-looking is the Bazhou assassin who found King Mu, and before Lai Xing'er finished speaking, he bowed his hand and bowed, and said with a salute: "The little one doesn't know the old man's respectful face, and please don't blame the old man." My prince got up early this morning and said that the old man was coming, saying that he was busy for the past two days, and after a few days of leisure, he wanted to invite the old man into the palace to entertain him. ”

Tang Kuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up the pillar with both hands, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." The old man and His Highness have not seen each other for many days, and they are very worried in their hearts, why don't they go to His Highness with the little father-in-law now? ”

Zhu'er knew that he was half of King Mu's life-saving benefactor, and when he heard him say this, it was not easy to stop him, so he turned sideways and asked Tang Kuan to go first, while he walked side by side with Lai Xing'er, walking towards the Ten Kings' Mansion not far from here.

These ten royal mansions are where the princes and grandchildren gather. Because since the establishment of this dynasty, there are many ugly things in the royal family to fight for power and profit, in order to restrain the large number of royal children, the emperor's grandfather when he reigned, he ordered the supervisor to join the Shaofu Supervisor and Zongzheng Temple in the northeast corner of Chang'an City to divide two squares, and built dozens of independent courtyards, and all the princes moved here one after another, collectively known as the Ten Princes' Mansion.

Lai Xing'er and Zhu'er walked side by side all the way, and listened to Zhu'er talk about some things he didn't know. It turned out that Zhu'er and Suo'er moved into the Daming Palace the day after the emperor ascended to the throne with the servants on duty in the East Palace. Because the palace was not at peace at that time, the two of them did not continue to stay by Jing Xuan's side on an errand, but were sent to the Xuanzheng Hall and the Zichen Hall respectively.

Soon after, there was an incident in the palace where the remnants of the Zhang family entered the palace to assassinate Xia Zhaoyi, and in order to strengthen the protection of the princes of the Ten Princes' Mansion, Zhu'er was sent to the princes' mansions as foremen and eunuchs along with more than a dozen young eunuchs from the East Palace. Zhu'er only went to the Mu Wangfu on an errand, because the river fell into the hands of the rebels, the emperor enabled the new marshal Fu Yi to take charge of the three armies, and the front officer army lacked a powerful supervising army, Suo'er was personally selected by the emperor to be a supervising army in the Hezhong army.

Zhu'er also told Lai Xing'er that before entering Daming Palace, Jing Xuan gave him and Suo'er a big name: Zhu'er's family name is Liang, and his name is Liang Wenqian; Suo'er's family name is Liu, and his name is Liu Wenxun.

The former little friends, now one is the head of the Muwang Mansion, and the other has joined the army and served as a small envoy of the supervising army. While Lai Xing'er was happy for the two of them, he also quietly had a trace of doubt in his heart: King Mu was the emperor's eldest son, and Fu Yi was the emperor's personal guard when he was the crown prince.

Tang Kuan walked ahead according to Zhu'er's instructions, and glanced back at the two of them from time to time. He heard Zhu'er's words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There is a way that there are people in the court who are good officials, looking at the age of this little eunuch, he is still one or two years younger than the little sergeant with the surname, and now he is the eunuch in charge of the palace." And when he was his age, although he was already full of economy and obtained the Ming Sutra, he was just a pre-existing official, and he could really be said to have learned well, so it was better to be born skillfully.
