Chapter 16: Concubine Liu

Outside Yanfu Palace, Xu Shouyun said goodbye to Li Jing, and then walked into the palace.

The palace gate was guarded by second-class eunuchs, but these eunuchs were all people who often accompanied the concubines.

If you really feel that you are a first-class eunuch, you can look down on them, then you are unlucky.

After all, they are a family, and they are considered outsiders.

This is also the rule of the Great Wei court, all concubines will have a corresponding number of eunuchs and palace maids, and the concubines will be equipped with eight eunuchs and eight palace maids.

These belong to the henchmen, who serve day and night by the side of the concubine, and live in this palace.

The grade may not be high, but this is someone's territory after all.

And the court demanded that the first-class eunuchs take turns on duty and solve some problems for each concubine in the past.

Of course, the main purpose is to supervise, and when their own people gather together, no one knows what the concubine has done.

But if you put a eunuch in the past, it is just to deter, don't want to do bad things.

And there will be a chief eunuch next to the concubine, with a five-grade official position, three grades higher than Xu Shouyun.

In the Great Wei court, there are a total of seven concubines, and there are twenty-five concubines below, but they cannot be called by the word ether, and then there are nobles, there are more than seventy, and then there are showmen.

However, after the empress ascended the throne, she sent most of the concubines away, after all, it was not much use to stay in the harem.

This is also a kind of kindness.

Of course, it doesn't matter if some are willing to stay in the palace.

It's just that just to serve this small group of people, there are as many as 10,000 eunuchs and maids in the palace, and they are extremely luxurious.

"Stop, this is Yanfu Palace, no trespassing."

As Xu Shouyun appeared, the two eunuchs guarding the door immediately spoke, and they looked at Xu Shouyun with a slight vigilance in their eyes.

"The first-class eunuch Xu Shouyun, on the order of His Majesty, came to Yanfu Palace to wait for Concubine Liu."

Xu Shouyun took out his waist card and also showed his identity.

The two were a little curious, but after reading the waist card, they immediately spoke: "Father-in-law Xu waits, the slave and maid will report it." ”

Obviously, the two did not receive the relevant news.

"Okay, I'm tired."

To be honest, Xu Shouyun doesn't like to be called father-in-law, but the other party is right, which is a bit embarrassing.

Standing outside the palace and waiting, it didn't take long for the eunuch who went to report to report that he walked quickly and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Xu, the concubine let you in." ”

He smiled and spoke, Xu Shouyun nodded, took back the waist card and said: "Since I am here to serve the concubine, I will be a family in the future, I am one or two older than you, just call me Brother Xu." ”

"I'll go in first."

Xu Shouyun patted the other party's shoulder, and after speaking, he walked towards the palace.

Walking into the palace, Yanfu Palace is particularly magnificent, all of which is due to the credit of the previous emperors, that is, the emperor who has not been in the early dynasty for thirty years.

If he hadn't built the palace on a large scale, it wouldn't have been so magnificent.

I don't know how many times the Great Wei court is bigger than the Forbidden City in the previous life, and in the Forbidden City in the previous life, the emperor can sit in a dragon sedan chair, but in the Great Wei court.

You have to take the dragon chariot, that is, the royal carriage, otherwise, it doesn't matter if you are tired or not, the point is to delay time.

Stepping on the steps made of white jade, Xu Shouyun lowered his head slightly.

When he came to the outside of the palace, Xu Shouyun's voice slowly sounded.

"Subordinate Xu Shouyun was ordered to come and wait for the concubine."

Xu Shouyun didn't walk in.

After all, he still understands the rules of the palace.

But as soon as this sentence was said, a voice of dissatisfaction sounded first.

"Subordinate?"

"You're not from Yanfu Palace, you're just a miscellaneous eunuch, and you also claim to be a subordinate?"

The voice was slightly feminine, and a little old, obviously an old eunuch.

Being reasonable, claiming to be subordinate is a closer title, and the slave and maid are more emphasizing the distance between master and servant.

The reason why Xu Shouyun called himself a subordinate was not because he was obedient, but because he was unwilling to call himself a slave and maid, and he couldn't say it.

It's just that Xu Shouyun has nothing to say, so he can only pretend to be dead, he has a backstage anyway, and even if Concubine Liu doesn't like herself, she can't kill herself.

It's a big deal to change a concubine to serve.

It's really not good, finding a hungry and thirsty concubine is a big deal to sacrifice yourself.

After all, in the entire Great Wei court, he has a unique magic weapon.

I don't believe in it.

"It's just a trivial matter, since His Majesty arranged to come, it is a family."

The gentle voice sounded, which seemed a little weak, and just listening to this voice made people can't help but feel a desire to protect.

"Your name is Xu Shouyun, right?"

"It's a good name, in the future, the things of Yanfu Palace will have to bother Father-in-law Xu more."

Concubine Liu's voice rang out.

It's very mild, but it's a bit unpleasant.

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will do their best."

Xu Shouyun nodded, and after saying this, he slowly raised his head, and there was an old eunuch standing in front of him, almost sixty years old, with arrogant eyes, looking at himself from top to bottom.

The old eunuch still had some rouge powder on his face, exuding a faint floral fragrance, which was disgusting.

"Concubine, you just have a good temper, these slaves and maids, all of them are very thieves."

"If you don't manage it well, you will have to turn the sky upside down in the future."

The old eunuch spoke, and when he saw Xu Shouyun's appearance, he was even more displeased.

For this kind of old yin and yang person, Xu Shouyun is unwilling to fight for anything, he is not here to quarrel, do his own work, and do his own thing.

Waiting for his own adults to make contributions, mention his position by the way, and then join hands to harm Dawei, his life will be complete.

What's the point of fighting with such people?

"Okay, Father-in-law Qian, don't be rude."

Concubine Liu's personality is indeed very good, even when she reprimands people, she is so gentle.

It's a pity that you can't see the looks.

However, just when Xu Shouyun felt pity, light footsteps sounded, and after a while, the figure of Concubine Liu appeared in his eyes.

In an instant, Xu Shouyun lost his mind slightly.

The complexion is as clear as jade, like a new moon halo, like a flower and tree piling up snow, the instrument is quiet and leisurely, delicate and tactful, and the beauty is incomprehensible.

Dressed in white plain clothes, the gentleness of the Jiangnan woman is perfectly displayed.

Like after a rain, countless men and women with umbrellas in their hearts stood on the bridge, looking at themselves quietly.

This kind of beauty is different from the stunning beauty of her own connector, and it is also different from Chu Yunrou's royal sister sexy, but it is a kind of beauty of Jiangnan smoke and rain.

It makes people feel pitiful, but also makes people feel gentle, and there is a beauty that wants to be hugged and protected.

Of course, if you really want to embrace it, you are afraid that you will not be able to save yourself, and you will be beheaded on the spot.

Like a white lotus.

Out of the mud without staining.

"I've seen Concubine Liu."

Xu Shouyun bowed down and bowed to the other party.

"Did Gonggong Xu enter the palace at such a young age?"

The moment she saw Xu Shouyun, Concubine Liu also showed surprise, after all, she was too young, and she looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, when she was a teenager.

is not only young, Xu Shouyun's appearance is also extremely rare, if the clothes on his body are not eunuch official uniforms, but white clothes, he really has the feeling of a humble gentleman and a son like jade.

At first sight, Xu Shouyun won the visual favor of Concubine Liu.

"Back to the concubine, the family is poor, and sent me to the palace, although I am younger, but my subordinates have done a lot of work at home and know how to wait."

Xu Shouyun opened his mouth to answer, which was a very normal way of correspondence.

Concubine Liu nodded, then sighed and said: "They are all hard-working people, stay in Yanfu Palace in the future, as long as you don't cause trouble, if you encounter any trouble, this palace will help you come forward." ”

It's not blowing or black, it's really good.

"Thank you, Princess."

Xu Shouyun spoke, but after saying this, the old eunuch on the side spoke up.

"Concubine, it's already dawn, didn't you say yesterday that you would go to Manyun Pavilion to enjoy the scenery today? The slave maid had already asked people to prepare the sedan chair. ”

The old eunuch smiled and spoke about it.

Obviously, he did it on purpose, this kind of person is very smart, and Xu Shouyun's arrival made him aware of the crisis.

After all, Xu Shouyun is young and handsome, and everyone has a love for beauty, and he is very worried that Xu Shouyun will be favored by Concubine Liu and make him lose power.

"Okay."

Concubine Liu spoke softly, and then entered the depths of the hall.

After Concubine Liu left, Xu Shouyun felt a chill, and looked up, it was the old eunuch's gaze.
