Prince Mu lives in the Zhaolu Palace, to the south of the East Palace, not too far.

I walked in a hurry, sweating a little, and now standing at the door of the main hall, I couldn't help but shiver when the wind blew.

Finally, the palace man who went in to report came back and asked me to follow him in.

I walked and watched as I went, and the view inside the hall was very much to my liking. Pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and strange stones, arched bridges and flowing water, green bamboo and new hair, elegant but not deserted, furnishings noble but not kitsch.

King Mu sat alone and drank tea in the pavilion in the back garden, he was dressed in brocade and white, and his temperament was elegant. He wasn't too surprised to see that it was me.

After I saluted him, he asked, "You came to me?" ”

His accent was placed on the word "you", apparently asking me whether my visit was an act of my own accord or a dispatch by the crown prince.

I nodded, indicating the former.

I was able to ask him for help, not only because of Nangumo's words last night, but also because we had a few words when we cut down trees, and I really felt that he had a rare human touch.

"Looking for me?" He continued.

He is a smart man, and I have no need to lie in front of him, lest I be exposed and embarrassed. So he directly expressed his intentions: "The slave and maid specially came to ask the prince a few questions." ”

He looked at me and was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand to let the palace people retreat.

"Say it." He picked up the teacup and gently shook the tea leaves with the tea lid.

I said very humbly: "The emperor's birthday is approaching, and the slave maid really has no idea to prepare a congratulatory gift for His Royal Highness, so I have to disturb the prince, can you give the slave and maid some pointers?" ”

Inquire about the emperor's preferences, but it is the first taboo in the palace. It has nothing to do with the prince's two goods, but I must be cautious in my words and deeds.

He slowly curled the corners of his mouth, looked up at me with a smile, and said, "You want to refer to my congratulatory gift?" ”

My heart moved, this is a good idea, the emperor values King Mu so much, he should be the person who knows the emperor the most among all the brothers, and from the congratulatory gifts he prepared for the emperor, he will definitely be able to spy on the emperor's preferences.

I just don't know if he is willing to do it, but if it were me, I didn't want to tell others, so I didn't dare to speak.

He took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "My father is accustomed to using rice paper from Los Angeles, and I have asked someone to prepare it for delivery half a month in advance, just waiting for it to be presented on his birthday." Every year. ”

I was stunned. The emperor's father sent some paper on his birthday? Every year! No wonder others want to break their heads for this, but he has the leisure to enjoy the scenery and drink tea.

Could it be that "what you can't get is always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear"?

He could indeed tell me generously with such a gift, because no one else could follow suit.

"Lord Xie is not stingy...... Share. "All of a sudden I didn't know what to say, so I just stood like that.

A few clusters of peonies in front of the pavilion are bright red like fire, graceful and gorgeous, the breeze is coming, and the delicate and fat petals tremble lightly, and they are beautiful.

He sipped tea peacefully in the fragrance of flowers, looking leisurely. After a long time, he turned his head to look at me: "Are you done asking your question?" ”

I nodded, then shook my head again. I could only plead with a face: "Lord Wang, you can help me come up with an idea, the elm head of the slave is really out of tricks." ”

"Let me help you?" He said these words slowly, and the person had already walked to the railing, looked at a few crystal green bamboos by the railing with his hands behind his back, and said casually: "Is there any benefit?" ”

Uh, make no mistake, you are a rich prince who wants benefits from me, a little eunuch!

Although I think so, but the words on the face can not be missing, maybe people just want two good words, so I said very earnestly: "Although the slave and maid are soft-spoken, but in the future, as long as the prince is useful, the slave will definitely die." ”

He looked sideways at me, chuckling at the corners of his mouth, "I remember saying that last time." Thinking about it, if I help you again, it's already the third time. ”

I was stunned, but he remembered this incident clearly, and I could only echo it again and again: "Yes, yes, the prince is like a re-creation grace to the slave and maid, and the slave dare not forget it until he dies." ”

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I didn't see you repay me?" ”

Belch...... I was speechless.

He sat back down and took a cup of tea while I stood and looked at him awkwardly.

What the hell does he mean? Doesn't it mean that he is virtuous and benevolent, and treats his subordinates well, why do I treat them differently when it is my turn? To benefit, to repay!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, as if I had understood it.

I asked with a smile, "Lord?" But what can a slave do for you? The slave is willing to share your worries and solve problems. ”

If I'm not mistaken, he should have something he wants me to do, but because of his identity and face, he doesn't want to take the initiative to speak, and he will repay me for being here for some kindness!

Hearing me say this, he put down the teacup, looked up at me seriously, and said, "No." ”

A mouthful of blood suffocated in my chest, and I almost vomited. Unless I repay it, I don't say anything! I also saw it, and it was clear that they didn't want to help me.

I don't want to see him drink tea anymore, I've decided to give up, and I'm about to say goodbye to him.

At this time, he suddenly said: "That's it, let me help you, you have to promise me one thing, as for what it is, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you later, how about it?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and didn't speak.

If I were an ordinary little eunuch, then I would not hesitate to accept his conditions. But the fact is that my identity is too special, not only is it a girl, but I don't know anything about my family background, and if I don't pay attention, I may be in danger.

In addition, if he says what I want to do at this moment, I can still weigh the pros and cons, but if he says that he will do it later, what if there is a conflict with my interests? When the time comes, the fulfillment of promises will harm oneself, and the refusal to fulfill oneself will expose oneself.

I thought about it and decided that it was still not worth it.

As soon as I looked up, I met his deep, inquiring gaze, and it was clear that my hesitation had made him suspicious. It's no wonder that ordinary little eunuchs have so many concerns about me.

I hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, please forgive me, no matter how bold the slave and maid are, they don't dare to promise it easily." ”

He bowed his head slightly, and then said, "You don't have to worry, I naturally won't embarrass you." ”

I could only smile bitterly, and finally said helplessly, "Lord Wang, why don't you sing a song to the slave maid, you can listen to it, just order the slave maid for a sentence or two?" ”

He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, you can sing." ”

Thankfully, he agreed. For me, who graduated from the music department, such a trivial thing as singing was easy to come by, and a confident smile immediately filled my face.

At this moment, the sunlight shone obliquely into the pavilion, shining on the fine tablecloth, the tea cup on the tablecloth, and the snow-white sleeves of his shirt beside the tea cup. Occasionally, there was a crisp cry or two of orioles from the willow trees by the pavilion.

There were only two of us in the pavilion. My mouth was half open, and my eyes were straight. He looked at me suspiciously, not knowing why.

Can anyone tell me what I should sing?! Popular? Rock? Folk custom?

Will it be a bit abrupt to sing "Little Apple" to such a handsome and wise young man in front of him?

Moreover, all that mess came out of my mouth, and I can't guarantee that he doesn't doubt my identity, and if I am as powerful as he is, I will die if I find out something.
