After a month of mourning, it was time for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and to my surprise, everything went so smoothly. There was no struggle for power between princes and princes, and there was no obstruction from the important ministers of the court, so he naturally changed from a prince to an emperor.

Everything is back on track, as the emperor, Zhou Wei no longer needs to hide his true nature, he can finally do whatever he wants unscrupulously.

He didn't like the early pilgrimage, so he changed the morning pilgrimage that was originally once a day to once every three days; When he was the crown prince, a group of people led by the third prince and the fifth prince had always been disrespectful and dissatisfied with him, and now the faces of those people are no longer visible; His queen Zheng Muxin has never been favored by him, and he has been revealed to the world in less than half a month after he ascended the throne, and he has an abundant harem.

My current identity is similar to that of the chief eunuch, and the content of my work has not changed, that is, I am busy with Zhou Wei every day, but it is a light errand, and the palace people, young and old, call me "Father-in-law Qing." "After all, there were so many palace people in the East Palace at the beginning, and Zhou Wei left me and Xiao Yuzi by my side.

Don't look at Xiao Yuzi's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, but I am indeed inferior to him in terms of speaking and doing things, usually in a few words, I can make Zhou Wei angry, and Xiao Yuzi can make him extinguish the fire in a few words.

In the past few days, the sons of the good family have been sent to the palace from all over the country, and Zhou Wei only personally set a few concubines and felt annoyed, he preferred horse racing and archery, so he handed over this errand to me.

I feel that the chief eunuch is the emperor's old mother, and I have to help him choose his own daughter-in-law, and I not only can't refuse, but I also have to do a good job.

From the few concubines he selected, I slowly realized his preferences, it can be said that he is schizophrenic, he doesn't like a single type, but is obsessed with freshness, preferably today's Lori, tomorrow's royal sister, the day after tomorrow's sister next door...... Looking at his harem, it is simply varied, pure, enchanting, and cold......

He was very pleased with the results of my work, and he expressed himself by fighting night and night, a fighting chicken among roosters.

On this day, after he got off the morning court, he yawned boredly and asked me, "How many did I let you pick and choose, but what about the people?" ”

I immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, those five women are waiting in the Wanxu Palace. ”

He asked me to keep a few more good ones, and I don't know what he meant, was it as a substitute?

He closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows: "Hmm." Send it to King Mu. It was a birthday gift from me. ”

I was stunned: "Give, Lord Mu......"

Zhou Wei opened his eyes and looked at me suspiciously: "What's wrong with him?" ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "If the prince doesn't accept ......"

"Fart! Why didn't he accept what I sent, what the fuck are you! Get out! He scolded me, got up and walked away.

I took five beauties to Zhaolu Palace, I don't know why I felt a little depressed in my heart, as if I was pressed by something and couldn't breathe, and it seemed that scolding Zhou Wei could alleviate it a little: Nima, you have a lot to do, you know that you hurt your brother, don't do business, but take care of a lot of idle things, I wish you a speedy death!

In the Zhaolu Palace, King Mu's handsome face slowly emerged from behind the scroll, and when his eyes saw me and these beauties, his expression was also stunned for a moment.

He asked me, "Is this ......?"

I could only answer truthfully: "The emperor is worried that the prince's birthday is approaching, so he gave the prince these five beauties." After speaking, my heart became even more uncomfortable.

But I have a hunch that King Mu will not accept it, he is different from Zhou Wei, he is by no means a greedy person, if he really has the will, he will also choose to marry a wife in a righteous and bright way.

He didn't look at those beauties more, but said to me, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for me." ”

I was waiting for him to say the next polite refusal, but he didn't say anything more.

I couldn't believe it: "Got it? ”

"Accepted."

I looked at him, he looked at me, and both of them seemed to look at each other strangely.

He then asked, "But Father-in-law Qing thinks there's something wrong?" ”

"Nope." I realized that I had just lost my temper, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of my mouth and gave him: "It's very good." The slave and maid went back to their lives. ”

Then I turned to these beauties and said, "From now on, you must serve the king with all your heart." ”

"Yes." The warblers and swallows said in unison.

I saluted and said, "The slave and maid will not disturb the prince, and take their leave." ”

"Wait." The prince took two steps towards me and said, "You are an apprentice, you don't have a gift for me?" ”

"Filial piety to the master is due, and the slave and maid will personally present it on the day of the prince's birthday."

Leaving the Zhaolu Temple, I walked alone, as if I had no strength, moving step by step.

What's wrong with me, when will it be my turn to be a eunuch, maybe I imagined him too detached and extraordinary, but forgot that he was just a person, born in the royal family, and it is understandable that he did this.

In the evening, Xiao Yuzi came to Zhou Wei with a roster to choose, and I watched him turn the page of Zheng Muxin without hesitation.

I couldn't help but say more: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to Lihe Hall for a long time. ”

It's actually been more than half a year since this long, and in fact, except for the prince's wedding night, he has never touched Zheng Muxin again.

This time he didn't scold me, and it seemed that he did feel that he had been snubbing her for a long time. He closed the roster with some disappointment: "Li He Dian." ”

I was a little happy and said, "The slave will go and inform the queen mother." ”

"Let Xiao Yuzi run." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at me: "You still don't go and prepare." ”

"Prepare to ......" I suddenly understood, he still wanted me to pretend to be him, I was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is the master of the harem after all, why don't you ......"

He slammed the roster on the table with a "snap" and shouted, "What bothered me the most, you fucking forgot it, didn't you?" ”

Of course I won't forget, otherwise I'm sorry for the beatings and scoldings I have received, he is the most annoying to others and talk too much nonsense, but I just can't learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

I don't speak anymore, maybe I go for him, he is happy, and Zheng Muxin may not be unhappy.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Lihe Palace, Zheng Muxin had already led the palace people to wait, and everyone saluted together. Seeing the masked emperor get out of the chariot, I clearly saw that Zheng Muxin breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the inner hall, without waiting for my signal, this time she took the initiative to send away all the palace people who were keeping vigil.

"It's all gone, take it off." She sat down next to the dresser and said quietly.

I took off my mask and was about to salute her, but she waved her hand and dismissed me.

"Thank you, mother." I looked at her as I got up and couldn't help but be shocked.

This girl is too different from the last time I saw her, her skin is still white, but not as white and tender as it was then, and she is somewhat morbidly pale.

When she first married the palace, her delicate melon seed face was dignified and pretty, but now her cheeks have collapsed slightly.

"Mother's lost weight......" I couldn't help but say.

She turned her face to the other side and stopped me from looking. After a while, he asked me again, "In the future, will it be you?" ”

"If the slave says yes, will the mother be disappointed?" I said tentatively.

She was reaching out to take off the golden step in the center of her jet-black bun, and after a pause, she said, "Change someone who doesn't talk much." ”

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, but I still wanted to continue to test her, so I said: "I'm afraid there is nothing less than the emperor's words." ”

She stopped talking, nor moving, and sat stiffly for a while before she spoke, her voice a little cold: "Did he ask you to humiliate the palace?" ”

Seeing that she was angry, I had to admit my mistake: "The slave should die, she has never been able to speak, I hope the queen will forgive her sins." ”

I can't help but sigh secretly for her in my heart, I can see that she is a proud and noble girl, but she is also a queen in the "cold palace", no one can understand the pain in her heart, the gap between this pride and humility is her most sensitive scar.

Fortunately, she didn't hold a grudge, and after removing her makeup, she got up and said to me, "Take the futon." ”

I laid out the futon, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so I only asked her politely: "What else does the queen have to say?" ”

"Father-in-law Qing?" She called out to me suddenly, but with a hint of uncertainty.

"The slave is here." I also felt a little strange, how did she know it was me?

"I have long heard that the Qing father-in-law next to the emperor has a peerless good look." She said lightly.

"The mother has won the prize." I smiled in horror, if she wasn't the queen, I would have to worry about her asking me to do something, why did she suddenly praise me?

"By the way, this palace happens to have something to ask you, and I haven't sent anyone over if I've been delayed recently." She walked over to the bed, "The women in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mansions said that you arranged it there, I don't know whose plan it is?" It's not proper to be so nameless and undisciplined. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and the Wan Xuan Palace was indeed under the jurisdiction of the harem, and I remembered that I didn't greet her when I sent someone over, and it was indeed my poor handling.

I leaned down to her side and replied, "Niangniang doesn't have to be distracted by this matter anymore, those women are the birthday gifts specially prepared by the emperor for Prince Mu, and a slave maid personally sent them over today." ”

She was stunned and suddenly fell silent, and only asked after a while: "He accepted it?" ”

"Accepted." I replied, and I couldn't help but sneak up my eyes at her.

The expression on Zheng Muxin's face seemed to freeze, and her eyes showed an unbelievable look, like me in front of King Mu at that time.

I felt that something was wrong, and asked cautiously, "Niang Niang knows Lord Mu?" ”

She immediately shook her head, then turned her face away, and said, "I am just a playmate of my childhood, and I am not familiar with each other." After speaking, she turned around and put down the gauze tent, shrunk and hid in: "The palace is tired." ”

"The mother is resting, and she can tell the slave maid at any time if she has something."

I stood outside her tent for a long time.

There is always a sense of strangeness in my heart, just looking at Zheng Muxin's appearance, they should not just know each other, the kind of loss between the eyebrows under the eyes is worth a thousand words......
