Chapter 176: I Like Stupidity
In the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Tianshun sat sideways on the soft couch, holding a white jade chess piece in his hand, staring at the endgame on the chessboard, and asked casually: "I heard that the matter of the division of the Zhongyong Bofu has been in an uproar in the past two days?" ”
Feng Bao, the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies, held a cup of tea in his hand, bowed down and stood behind Emperor Tianshun, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly responded with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has also heard the people below say a word or two. ”
Emperor Tianshun played with the chess pieces in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? The people in the palace have heard about it? ”
"Yes, the Zhongyong Bofu did not shy away from outsiders at all this time, and now even the ordinary people in Beijing know something."
"Oh? I'm lonely. Emperor Tianshun said, threw the chess piece into the chess cup with a click, and turned his head to look at Feng Bao with interest, "Then you should talk to me carefully, this is good, why did you suddenly split up?" ”
Feng Bao smiled and held the teacup to Emperor Tianshun's hand, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities, how can you have the leisure time to take care of these trivial things." As he spoke, he took a step forward slightly, lowered his voice and continued, "The slave maid heard that the county lord didn't have any plans to split the family, but the third master of the Su family didn't know what he did a few days ago, which made the county lord mother angry, so he moved his mind to split the family." ”
Emperor Tianshun snorted when he heard this, and said, "If you say so, this matter makes sense." He took a sip of tea, and handed the teacup to Feng Bao, "When my father was still there, he often talked to me about the Su family, saying that the Su family was a loyal martyr, and there had never been a shitty waste, I still believed it at the time, but now you see, the third child of the Su family, hehe." ”
Feng Bao took the teacup, handed it to the little waiter on the side, and said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't, the name of the third master of the Su family was even a little heard of by the slave maid." ”
Emperor Tianshun sneered: "How can there be so many loyal martyrs in this world, it is normal to occasionally produce such a waste or two." As he spoke, he didn't know what he remembered, and the smile on his face deepened, "It's good to have a waste, there's a waste, this Su family can at least have a queen." ”
When Feng Bao heard Emperor Tianshun's words, he immediately smiled, and stood to the side with his head down, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The hall was silent for a while, and only the sound of the Western clock was left.
Emperor Tianshun continued to stare at the endgame on the chessboard in a daze, sneered for a while, and slammed the chessboard aside.
Because of his sudden movements, the chess pieces on the chessboard slid up in a hurry, and the endgame instantly lost the appearance of Fang Cai, and some of the chess pieces fell directly to the ground, with a crisp sound, and suddenly broke into several pieces.
Seeing this, Feng Bao hurriedly bowed down to pick it up, but Emperor Tianshun said lightly: "No matter how good this chess game is, it can be messed up with one hand, no matter how good this chess piece is, it will be useless if it is broken." He glanced at Feng Bao casually, "Since it's broken, don't pick it up, just throw it away." ”
Feng Bao's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to his natural form, and responded with a smile.
Soon, a few little chamberlains ran in lightly, and they quickly cleaned up the broken chess pieces and quietly retreated.
The room was quiet again, as if nothing had just happened.
Emperor Tianshun put his hand into the chess cup and stirred up the chess pieces inside.
"I have so many chess pieces in my hands, and none of them are the same as him, so I really have to be him?"
Feng Bao still lowered his eyes and didn't speak, only pursed his lips as if he hadn't heard anything.
This idea in the Heart Cultivation Palace naturally can't escape the eyes of people with hearts, and the emperor broke his beloved white jade chess pieces, and it soon spread to the harem.
When Concubine Shu heard about this, she was reclining on the soft couch to take a nap. When she heard this, she just chuckled lightly and said, "It's just a few chess pieces, it's worth making such a fuss about you, go, turn out the set of chess pieces in the palace library and send it to Your Majesty, just say that it is a little bit of the palace." ”
The little waiter's face became very strange, but seeing that Concubine Shu's expression didn't seem to be laughing, he responded dryly and withdrew.
The maidservant who was waiting for Concubine Shu on the side entered the palace with Concubine Shu, and when she heard this, she hurriedly smiled and flattered: "Niangniang is really the most intimate, knowing that Your Majesty broke the chess piece, she immediately sent a new past, and Your Majesty will definitely be very happy after receiving it." ”
Shu Guifei chuckled lazily after hearing this, raised her wrist and looked at her fingers carefully, and said softly: "I remember that the chess pieces were sent in by Jiangnan Weaving, and the palace doesn't like these pianos and chess, and they are also placed there, so it is better to give them to the emperor as a personal favor, maybe they can be exchanged for some interesting rewards." ”
In this way, a set of sheep fat jade chess pieces was sent into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The little waiter who sent the things knelt on the ground and trembled, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Emperor Tianshun stared at the two full chess pieces with a smile, the white crystal clear, and the black as black as ink, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
Feng Bao stood behind Emperor Tianshun, still with his eyes down, just thinking that he was a statue.
After a while, Emperor Tianshun chuckled lightly and said, "The concubine has a heart, you go back and tell her that I have been busy for the past two days, and I will go over to see her another day." ”
When the little chamberlain heard this, his expression was full of incredulity, and he lowered his head and was stunned for a while, until he heard Feng Bao on the side cough lightly, and then he came back to his senses, kowtowed and thanked him again and again, and retreated without daring to stay for a moment.
When the little chamberlain retreated, Emperor Tianshun turned his head to look at Feng Bao and smiled meaninglessly: "You say, what does this Shu Guifei mean?" ”
The corners of Feng Bao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he squeezed out a dry smile and said in a low voice: "Where do slaves dare to speculate on the thoughts of the concubine." ”
Emperor Tianshun laughed out loud unimpressed, picked up a chess piece and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "I know what you old fox is thinking about, I tell you, you are purely thinking too much, if Shu Shi is such a person with a heart, I will not be so unscrupulous to pamper her." ”
Feng Bao secretly wiped a handful of sweat, but he only laughed and did not speak.
Isn't this Concubine Shu just a heartless person, openly inquiring about the emperor's whereabouts and movements, knowing that not only did she not hide it, but she also sent something over with great fanfare.
"I know you're calling her stupid," Emperor Tianshun chuckled softly, "but I like her stupidity, stupid without scheming, stupid reassuring." ”
