Chen Yuantai sneered: "Good minion! Died early, but it was cheaper for them! ”

Chen Xi thought about what he analyzed with Ding Shao and Li Mobai when he was outside the palace, so he asked Wang Gonggong: "I don't know how old this Wang Yi and Wang Qi are, when they entered the palace, and what their functions were before?" ”

Wang Gonggong thought for a while and said, "Wang Yi is about thirty and less than forty, and it is said that he entered the palace before he was ten years old. In the previous dynasty, it seems that at first he was doing chores in the imperial dining room, and later because the soup was good, he was sent to Kunning Palace by Empress Tian of Emperor Changqing, and then sent by Empress Tian to serve the prince in Chonghua Palace. When the Tian family was defeated, Queen Tian was given to die, and the prince disappeared from the palace, Wang Yi has been watching the empty courtyard in Chonghua Palace until the emperor is in the court. ”

"What about Wang Qi?" Chen Xi already had a deducer in his heart, but for the sake of thoroughness, he continued to ask.

"Wang Qicai is only in his twenties, although he also entered the palace in the previous dynasty, but he was young at that time, and he couldn't do any work, so he has always been doing miscellaneous work in foreign dynasties. But because the two are fellow villagers, Wang Yi has always taken good care of Wang Qi. Everyone else said that Wang Yi was afraid that he wanted to accept Wang Qi as his righteous son, so that he could retire in the future. ”

Chen Yuantai sneered: "I didn't expect that Emperor Changqing's father and son would have a few loyal servants who are infatuated and immortal!" I'm underestimating them! ”

Suddenly, he asked again: "Didn't I decree that all the servants who had served the concubines and princesses of the former dynasty would be thrown out of the palace?" Why did this kind of dog slave with a bad heart remain? ”

The prince endured that he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and replied as calmly as possible: "Emperor Shengming, this Wang Yi only served in the tea room and small kitchen during the Kunning Palace and Chonghua Palace, and never entered the inner hall to serve......

There is another sentence that the prince did not dare to say, if these are regarded as personal services, then he, the old man next to Concubine Wu of Chengqian Palace, is afraid that he will no longer be able to be the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace.

"Go and explain to the queen," Chen Yuantai instructed, "Kick all the minions with suspicious backgrounds in the palace out of the palace, and not a single one will be left!" ”

Chen Xi smiled and glanced at the pale prince, and reminded: "Father and Emperor cut it like this, I'm afraid that it will also hurt a good person by mistake......"

Chen Yuantai was thinking about the queen's mushy head, leave such a thing to her, who knows what will happen!

"The queen is not in good health, so she asked Concubine De and Zhaorong to help. Anyone who holds the rank of chief eunuch or above has reported to me, and I have seen it myself! ”

For a month in a row, the palace was chaotic and people's hearts were fluctuating. The palace maid is okay, because there is a custom of being released from the palace when she reaches the age of twenty-five, so not many people have served for a long time in the previous dynasty. Eunuchs are different, once they enter the palace, they are for life. Moreover, whether it is in the previous dynasty or now, it is stipulated that eunuchs are forbidden for those who are not above the king. This was originally to put an end to the people's practice of purifying themselves privately, but now it seems that these eunuchs who leave the palace have no way to live.

The prince begged to come to Chen Xi, saying that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the things hurt him, and begged Chen Xi to let the emperor arrange a way out for these eunuchs.

Chen Xi originally thought that these people could also be regarded as strong laborers, so he arranged to go to the Huangzhuang near Gyeonggi and give them a bite to eat. Chen Yuantai also felt that this method was feasible, but Deng Hong was resolutely opposed with a half-smile.

His 100 acres of farmland had just been raised, and the seeds of the first stubble had been sown, and it was the time when they needed to be carefully tended. These eunuchs in the palace will only serve people's kung fu, where will they serve the crops? If one is not careful, it will ruin his big thing.

Chen Yuantai didn't want to get in the way of these small things, so he threw all the hundreds of eunuchs to the Taiping Yuan with a stroke of his pen.

The matter in the palace was resolved, but there was no progress on Lin Lang's errand to arrest the rumors in the market. First, because there is too much mobility in places like teahouses and restaurants, you say one sentence and I say another, who is the rumor maker, who is the one who fuels the trouble, and even the store is difficult to remember.

Second, the street talk favors the news in the court, and when such a shocking thing comes out, who wouldn't want to interject and talk about it?

Lin Lang felt that he didn't do his errand well, so he didn't do it as well as Chen Xi, and knelt down in the Qianqing Palace to plead guilty. Chen Yuantai didn't say anything, only told him to do his errands hard in the future.

However, Li Mobai gave Lin Lang a narrow idea, and let people pick up Ning Lingbo's young step-room to catch him in the outer room of Kingfisher Alley.

The outer room was originally the top red girl of Yicui Pavilion, not to mention that she was beautiful, how could the girl's kung fu in the Qinglou be bad? Directly pressed Ning Lingbo back into the house, and he had a tongue battle with Mrs. Ning Lingbo and a group of mothers-in-law and maids at the mouth of the alley, and looked at the onlookers with relish, only hating that there was no tea doctor in the alley who sold melon seeds and handed hot towels.

This incident made trouble in the capital for a few days, and later the third son of Liu Shilang's Mansion in the Criminal Department was jealous of the second son of Wuding Bofu because of the drama, and the two of them finally took the little guys to fight in the theater troupe, and after returning home, they were beaten by their respective fathers and couldn't get out of bed for half a month.

The people in the capital have gradually forgotten the burning of the Taihe Hall because of the wonderful and wealthy dramas in the past month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival families sent gifts to each other, and on the day of the festival, they entered the palace to celebrate, and Du Mingxin was so busy that he rested at home for three days before relieving himself.

On this day, Chen Xi came back early, changed his clothes, and saw that his son was still asleep, so he took Du Mingxin to go to the back garden for a walk.

"You lie and sit like this every day, and the more you rest, the more boring you get!"

Du Mingxin smiled: "Which eye did you see me lying and sitting?" There are a lot of things in the house, but I want to take advantage of your time to sort it out, and when you come back, I will concentrate on accompanying you. Otherwise, you will see that I am busy! ”

Chen Xi lowered his head and kissed her sideburns, and said with a smile: "I know that my lady is the most caring......"

"Be honest!" Du Mingxin gently pushed him, but his heart was as sweet as sprinkling honey. "Today, the Anguo Mansion sent a post, saying that the eldest grandson is going to entertain guests in the Zhuangzi outside his city, saying that he has been returning from the sea for so long and has not been together with you people."

Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Go, the Deng family's wine is good, and the cook is good, I'll go eat them." ”

Du Mingxin smiled: "If you were only asked to go alone, how could you send the post to me?" Deng Gongzi said that he would also invite the princess, Sister Xu, and our female dependents to go together. ”

"You don't want to go?" Chen Xi lowered his head and asked her.

Du Mingxin pursed his lips and smiled: "Deng Gongzi has not yet married, who will help him entertain his daughters?" It's just his good sister! ”

"If you don't want to go, I'll go back for you." Chen Xi frowned.

Du Mingxin smiled: "No, now Deng Wenjiao and I are considered concubines, we can hide from the first year of junior high school, but we can't hide from the fifteenth." Besides, every time she is the first to make trouble, I have never suffered in her hands, I am afraid that she will do anything! ”
