Chapter Ninety-Six: Grief
Yanjing.
The sixth prince reached out and took a roast goose from a small eunuch, plus two taels of silver.
As a prince, as a master, not to mention taking the initiative to reward these eunuchs, he actually oppressed them, robbed them of their snacks, and extorted their silver.
Gonggong Zhang went to Litian City, this is the follow-up behind the six princes, and he is a little father-in-law, also surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Miannian, is the godson of Gonggong Zhang, not long after entering the palace, he is innocent.
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law reached out to help take the roast goose from the hands of the six princes, but the broken silver was not given to him, but fell straight into the six princes' own pockets.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are actually a small river and lake, there are always people stepping on people, and there are always people being dragged down, of course, since they are slaves, everyone's future has to be pinned on their own masters.
The master is powerful, the minion's waist is straight, the master's strength is weak, and the slave is not welcomed when he goes out, and when the palace maid is looking for the right food, he is not happy to take care of you.
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law felt that there was no master who was more stumbling than his own master.
"Hey, Ming'er and Xiao Chenzi will talk to each other, it's time for Ming'er to come and honor his master."
"Yo, Your Highness, you have a good memory, and the slave will go to answer later."
"Hehe, can you remember, the master has this meal now, so I'm counting on you to feed it."
"Your Highness, you are serious, it is a blessing for the servants to be able to honor Your Highness."
"I'm hungry, I'm going to eat first."
"Your Highness, you use it, the slave retires."
The sixth prince walked to a pavilion and sat down, motioned to Xiao Zhang's father-in-law to spread out the roast goose, and broke off a goose leg and gnawed it first.
gnawing and gnawing,
Seeing that Xiao Zhang's father-in-law did not move, the sixth prince was a little curious:
"Look, let's eat together."
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law shook his head with some hesitation.
"What's the matter, could it be that the food in Xinzhiku is so good that you can't even look down on goose meat?
Hey, that's not right, where does the oil and water come from in a place to brush the toilet in Xinzheku. ”
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law blushed, shook his head and said:
"Your Highness, they, their lives are actually quite tight."
"Which of them?"
"It's just, it's just ........."
"Oh."
The six princes didn't think about it and continued to eat goose meat.
"Your Royal Highness, although the slave has only been in the palace for two years, the slave also knows, after other nobles enter the palace, they are very polite to the people in the palace, even if it is a young father-in-law and maidservant, and those managers will often receive filial piety, how can there be someone like Your Highness, don't talk about it, and blackmail them."
"What's the matter, you don't have money to eat, you can't be hungry, right?"
"Your Highness, my godfather's place, there is still a lot of personal silver hidden there, minions, minions can be stolen and used by His Highness."
I'll steal my father's money to feed you!
"Don't, don't, don't! Yours is yours, I can't use it, this day the roll call let the eunuchs and palace maids of each palace prepare to eat, this day is quite free, every day the pattern is different, how good. ”
"But, but, but ......... like that"
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law felt that although His Royal Highness was the most unfavored of all the princes, he couldn't give up on himself like this, but he would offend people ruthlessly.
Father-in-law Zhang, who used to be an errand in the palace, knows that these eunuchs don't have much energy, but if they really want to harm you, some of them are tricks, that is, they give you eye medicine in front of their own sons, which is enough for you to drink a pot.
The sixth prince waved his hand disappreciatively, sucked his greasy fingers, and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, the lord is living a poor life now, this is something that everyone knows, these fathers-in-law in the palace, you reward each of them with a golden bean, they will call you auspicious on their faces, but in fact, they have long been used to it.
But when they have nothing to eat, they will not be angry, but they will feel happier when they come to deliver food and drink, and then knock some broken silver. ”
There is another sentence that the six princes didn't say, they are not only happy, they will also be moved when they see you eat what they sent.
Of course, you have to find a specific object to knock on the bamboo pole, but you can't really knock it stupidly, and you need to take care of it.
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law doesn't know why,
The six princes didn't care,
"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all."
"Your Highness, you can eat."
"Huh."
As he continued to gnaw, on the other side of the palace wall, there was a sudden cry.
The six princes who were gnawing on the neck of the goose were scared,
Death of my father?
Time
The hearts of the six princes seemed to be empty all of a sudden.
Fear, unease, confusion, consternation, and a little bit of ......... Relaxed.
However, the sixth prince still suppressed his emotional exposure and said to Xiao Zhang:
"Go there and see what's going on."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law went to see it, and after a while, Xiao Zhang's father-in-law ran back with red eyes and knelt at the feet of the six princes.
The head of the six princes is almost going to explode,
No way
Daddy just died?
Didn't the second brother just become the bed of the prince's East Palace and sit on the dragon chair before he slept hot?
Heaven is ruthless,
This is the first reaction in the mind of the six princes at this time,
Of course
You can't force the six princes to grieve too much at this time,
The son is not filial to his father,
This sentence can be said to be vividly displayed in this pair of heavenly father and son.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the begonias in the palace of the prince have been defeated."
Hearing this,
The sixth prince looked like a person who had just drowned and was violently dragged out of the water, and his head was a little dizzy.
He staggered back into his chair,
Call......
Father,
Didn't die.
In my heart, I suddenly felt a lot more steady.
Because the six princes know that no matter how the father rubs himself, kills his mother, pushes the ancestral hall, and takes everything from himself, but at the very least, the father will not kill himself.
It's that third brother, who made such a big mistake, and there may even be Qianguo spies around him, isn't he also confined in Huxin Pavilion now, and there is no one below, but isn't the person still alive?
But if it's your second brother who takes the throne,
According to his second brother's temperament, his brothers, to be honest, can die well, not many.
Not to mention, the more powerful sister-in-law is also about to enter Beijing, if she becomes a queen as soon as she enters Beijing, then for several contemporary princes of the Ji family, there is really no hope at all.
But in the dark, the six princes still felt that they were a little lost.
Father, I didn't die.
Followed by
A very rebellious idea came to mind,
Father,
How long will you last?
Xiao Zhang's father-in-law didn't know what his Royal Highness was thinking about violating the ban, and he was still immersed in the sadness of the death of his grandfather.
The palace master is the "teacher" in the hearts of all eunuchs.
In fact, there are not many fathers-in-law who can be accepted by him to pass on the art of refining qi, only a handful, but he is like a bright light in business, which has ignited a glimmer of hope in the hearts of these eunuchs living in the palace.
These eunuchs, because of their physical disabilities, are prone to extreme personalities, and if they hate a person, they are easy to hate a person to the bone, but in other words, if they are really grateful to a person, then they can really regard that person as their "parents", even more than their parents.
Because most of the fathers-in-law were sold into the palace by their parents when they were young.
"Let's mourn."
The sixth prince sighed,
Bow your head,
Continue to eat roast goose.
He didn't know where the master went, and he didn't dare to inquire too much, because the cards in his hand now mean how much less.
But there is one thing that the sixth prince has long known that the prince has been away from the palace for many days.
Because the two eunuchs who were miscellaneous in the palace did not secretly bring rice cakes when they brought food to themselves.
Master,
He died outside the palace.
………
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly fell into stagnation.
The corners of the eyes of many eunuchs were flushed, which was a real sadness, and it was difficult to suppress themselves.
In the Imperial Study,
Emperor Yan is reviewing the chapters,
His complexion looked good, and his face was glowing red.
At this time, a little eunuch walked to the door of the imperial study, and Wei Zhonghe, who was accompanying His Majesty, walked out, after hearing the news of the defeat of the begonia flowers, Wei Zhonghe's body shook at first, and then his eyes were blazing, he looked up at the sky, and began to pinch the seal in his hand.
Shaoqing,
Wei Zhonghe walked back to the imperial study.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Yan put down the imperial pen and asked.
"Your Majesty, Master, you have ascended to heaven."
When Emperor Yan heard this,
Leaning back,
Closed his eyes,
Shaoqing,
Opening:
"Are you back?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the luck that the master borrowed is back, and there are a lot more, the grandfather said before leaving the palace, whether Your Majesty believes in this or not, and whether Your Majesty cares about this or not, but since he is Dayan's Qi Refiner, he naturally has to help Dayan make up for this amount of qi.
This is also the only thing he can make for His Majesty except for rice cakes. ”
Emperor Yan waved his hand,
"I'll be alone for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhonghe bowed and withdrew from the imperial study.
Emperor Yan leaned back in his chair, and no one could see what was going on in his eyes at this time.
I don't know how long it has been.
Emperor Yan forcibly propped up the chair and sat up straight,
Pick up the teacup,
The tea was already cold, but he drank it all in one gulp without care, and even the tea leaves in it were wrapped in his mouth and began to chew slowly.
But no matter how you chew it, you can't taste the slightest bitterness.
A touch of anger flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, and his five fingers clutched the imperial case.
"You've been whispering in my ear, saying that it's because the dragon vein was cut off by the Tibetan master, so my body is starting to get worse and worse, and you say that you want to make up for the luck that I have been cut off.
scold
Even if you can live a few more days,
I can't eat the rice cakes you made yourself. ”
"Ahem........."
Yan Huang stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.
After the cough is over,
Habitually spread out the palms,
But suddenly found that the blood stains on the palm of the palm were less than half of the previous cough.
