Chapter 33: Gossip
No one can say for sure.
Everyone hopes that their lives are good, and this group of people who have become eunuchs is even more so, because it is precisely because of their bad lives that they are sent to the palace with a clean body, and as long as the family background is slightly better, it is impossible to send their children into the palace!
When the eunuchs first entered the palace, their age would not be too different, this is a hard rule, they are not allowed to enter the palace at the age of a little older, not fifteen or sixteen years old, fifteen or sixteen years old in the people, but they want to marry a wife and have children, they are adults! Entering the palace at such an age, even if the family background is innocent, there is no guarantee that it will not harm Ouchi.
The young life experience is simple, the values have not yet been formed, and it is easy to cultivate loyalty, so the eunuchs are basically about ten years old when they first enter the palace, the youngest is eight or nine years old, and the oldest will not exceed twelve years old.
In other words, when the little eunuchs first entered the palace, the starting point was about the same!
The fate of the vast majority of them is similar, and they are at the bottom all their lives! There are very few people like Xu Jin who can rely on their qualifications to get to the top of the position, after all, he is a powerhouse in the Earth Evil Realm, and he is full of calculations, how many Earth Evil Realms are there in the entire Great Interior?
In general, there are only a handful of eunuchs who can change their fate after entering the palace, get promoted by a certain father-in-law, or be appreciated by nobles.
Compared with other little eunuchs, Zhou An is definitely that handful of people, and he has a good fate!
He entered the palace is the eldest princess's long-term follower, worship the direct hall supervisor palm seal Xu Jin as a teacher, although he was transferred away from the eldest princess, into the direct palace eunuch this clear water yamen, but under the master's wings, eat well and live well, and do the lightest work in the direct palace prison.
All the way up to this year.
This year's Zhou An's life has been extremely tortuous!
Xu Jin went mad and died, but it was because of his cultivation of evil skills that Kang Longji became angry.
In addition, because of Xu Jin's relationship, Zhou An had a bad relationship with Sun Deyou.
This made many people think that Zhou An's good days were over! You may even die because of it!
But no one expected that just three days after Xu Jin's death, Zhou An, who had just been transferred to the first day of the Xichun Palace, hugged the thigh of Princess Yunjing, the "Demon King of the Mixed World"! went straight to the palace of the superintendent, and was rewarded with a flying swallow suit, and suddenly became a celebrity in the Spring Palace!
This is already making people jealous!
But no one would have thought that in just half a month, Zhou An would actually sit in the position of the palm seal of the direct hall!
This is something that no one dares to think of!
When Xu Jin was alive, although Zhou An was taken care of, he was just a little eunuch with no grade, after all, he was there at the age, his qualifications were not enough, he had never formed a gang, and Xu Jin, who was cautious, did not dare to promote Zhou An, for fear of being said to be favoritism.
And now, Xu Jin has been dead for less than a month!
Zhou An took his former position and became the eunuch of the direct hall supervisor!
This is a eunuch of the fifth grade!
Zhou An is not the youngest five-rank eunuch in the history of the Dongqian Dynasty, but he is the youngest five-rank eunuch in the past hundred years!
Even Kang Longji was promoted to the fifth grade at the age of seventeen!
Zhou An is only sixteen years old this year!
In the rumors, Sun Deyou was killed by Princess Yunjing, who loved Zhou An, because he offended Zhou An, and he was killed if he killed him! Princess Yunjing is already notorious, and it is not incomprehensible that she would do such a thing, but then Zhou An was appointed as the head seal of the direct hall, which is unacceptable!
Princess Yunjing killed Sun Deyou privately, and the empress didn't punish him? Xiao Anzi bewitched Princess Yunjing and was not executed?
Actually, that's understandable!
Princess Yunjing is the empress's own sister, and she is currently the only closest relative by the empress's side, the empress favors her, the empress does not punish Princess Yunjing, and Princess Yunjing dies to protect Xiao Anzi, this is no problem!
But Xiao Anzi was actually promoted?!!
In Ouchi, there are only two people who can appoint the position of the Straight Hall Supervisor Palm Seal, one is of course the empress, and the other is Kang Longji, the head of Ouchi! Princess Cloudview can't make such an appointment!
In other words, Kang Longji or the empress agreed to promote Xiao Anzi to the palm seal of the Straight Palace!
That's ......
How did Princess Yunjing ask for the empress? How much does she "love" Xiao Anzi?
When Zhou An's promotion to the palm seal of the Straight Hall Supervisor came out from the celebrant first, the entire inner court was a sensation! Although they were all discussed in private, they quickly became so popular that everyone knew about it! Gossip about Princess Yunjing and Xiao Anzi also came into being, saying that Princess Yunjing has become psychopathic and has done such and such things with Xiao Anzi.
The eunuch was cut underneath, not all over the body, but also with his mouth and hands...... Because of this, gossip is becoming more and more indescribable.
******
At dusk, the martial arts training ground of Xichun Palace is surrounded by many little eunuchs and palace maids.
Princess Yunjing, who was wearing heavy armor, was holding a sword and was fighting fiercely with Zhou An!
Zhou An had already received the documents from the celebrant and became a five-grade eunuch, but he did not return to the direct palace eunuch, because his position was concurrent, or rather, his position in the Xichun Palace was not removed, and he would always be in the Xichun Palace in the future, and occasionally go back to the direct palace eunuch to see.
"Let go!" Zhou An's low cheer suddenly sounded.
But I saw that on the martial arts training field, Zhou An grabbed the handle of the horse chopping knife, forcibly grabbed the knife, and threw Princess Yunjing's whole person into the air.
"Princess!"
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
The palace maids and eunuchs outside the venue all shouted, but no one went to help Princess Yunjing, because Princess Yunjing didn't let her, she had already let go, and no one was allowed to interfere!
Zhou An carried a horse chopping knife, brandished a knife flower, and waited for Princess Yunjing to get up.
Princess Yunjing was wearing heavy armor, but she didn't fall and was injured, she jumped up when she turned over, raised her hand and took off her helmet and fell to the ground, looking angry, striding in front of Zhou An, reaching out to pull Zhou An's ears.
"Okay, you little Anzi, if you are promoted, you won't take this palace seriously, right? didn't come to help the princess, and played with the princess's knife, who did you demonstrate? Princess Yunjing puffed.
"Oops! Your Highness, spare the minions, the minions are not demonstrative......" Zhou An begged for mercy.
"Humph!" Princess Yunjing snorted heavily, not only did she not let go, but also raised her other hand, grabbed Zhou An's other ear, and pulled back and forth on both sides.
At the same time, Gonggong Wang, the head of the Xichun Palace, walked out of the forest path, and when he arrived at the sidelines, he saw Princess Yunjin fighting with Zhou An again, and then he said sharply: "Your Highness! ”
Princess Yunjing glanced back, immediately let go of her hand, and gave Zhou An a look.
The two walked towards Father-in-law Wang one after the other, and Father-in-law Wang immediately caught up.
As soon as the three of them met, Princess Yunjing asked, "Is it done?" ”
"Old slave, Your Highness, don't worry." Wang Gonggong said immediately, but he glanced at Zhou An, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let the old slave say more, you let the old slave release the news to confuse the public, this is a bad thing for your reputation, this is not a good thing for you, for the saint, for the royal family, you are a princess, let the rumors outside make you ashamed, this is ......"
The reason why the rumors appeared immediately was due to Grandpa Wang, when Princess Yunjing brought people back this afternoon, she asked Grandpa Wang to arrange for someone to release the news to the outside world, so the news spread so quickly!
"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid of this palace, what are you afraid of? It's long-winded again! Princess Yunjing interrupted Father-in-law Wang's words, a little impatient, "This palace is helping the imperial sister do big things, what's the point of carrying some stigma?" ”
"Grandpa Wang, don't worry." Zhou An lowered his voice and interjected, "This matter will be clarified, it won't take too long." ”
Everything is planned!
The gossip was part of the plan, in order to cover up that the empress already knew that Gu Huaiyong was involved in the rebellion! After all, you still can't fight hard, and you have to take a step by step to clean up the things in the palace, otherwise there will be chaos in the palace! This is tantamount to creating an opportunity for Wu Xukuan! It must not be!
Zhou An was promoted to the position of Supervisor of the Straight Palace, which was determined by Kang Long, and it was also part of the plan!
Zhou An has a mission!
Purge the Straight Palace!
