Chapter 125: Branches and Buds (Riwan Achievement!) )
"Rubbish! Rubbish! ”
"I can't do this little thing, what else do I want you to do!?"
The teacup smashed beside the Fourth Prince, and the flying fragments streaked across his cheek, bringing out a shallow mark of blood.
But whether it was Zhang Guifei or the four princes, they all turned a blind eye to this.
"The child is incompetent, please forgive the mother."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifei was even more angry.
"Forgiveness of sins and forgiveness of sins, and forgiveness of sins is known day by day!"
"If they weren't all so angry, would I have been bullied so much by that surnamed Wu?"
“……”
In one ugly scolding after another, the four princes lowered their heads indifferently, allowing the concubine to vent her emotions at will.
Whenever this happens, the song will always play in the minds of the four princes, constantly lingering, helping him survive one difficult day after another.
……
House of Internal Affairs, Hidden Chamber Dungeon.
"What's going on with the two of them?"
Mr. Shang looked at the two eunuchs in Xuanyi who were tied to the bed board and couldn't move, and asked his righteous son.
Zhao Feng sighed and replied, "It's the two who were eliminated from the Huayi eunuchs before. ”
"As a result, I didn't expect to resent me all the time."
The eunuchs in flowery clothes are relatively special eunuchs in the palace, and nominally all the eunuchs in flowery clothes are subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Like the chief manager Shang and the flower-clothed eunuchs beside Zhao Feng, this is the case.
These eunuchs in flowery clothes are all selected from the small eunuchs in the palace who have martial arts talents, and then after layers of screening, they can wear the flowered clothes.
For many ordinary little eunuchs, this is a smooth road to the sky step by step.
can start from the yellow clothes at the bottom, and even the white clothes when he was in the prison courtyard, and directly become the flower-clothed eunuchs second only to the big eunuchs.
Although there are also different ranks among the eunuchs in flowery clothes, it is enough to trample the vast majority of palace maids and eunuchs under their feet, and they will no longer be humiliated at will.
And those who don't have martial arts talent can only struggle in the quagmire, seeking a glimmer of opportunity that may not exist at all.
Of course, those who can crawl out of the quagmire are definitely ruthless characters.
But how many such people can there be?
I'm afraid it's one in a million.
And for these two Xuanyi eunuchs, Zhao Feng was the one who stretched out his hand to pull them out of the quagmire and kicked them back again.
Because of their martial arts talents, they received training for a period of time, but because they gradually couldn't keep up with the progress, they were finally eliminated.
But even so, the kung fu they learned was enough for them to live well.
You can see it by looking at their dark clothes at this time.
Most of the people who were eliminated from the training of the eunuchs in flowery clothes were almost like this, and they could mix well with their strength that was not up to the bottom.
Many people are also relieved to have such an opportunity, and feel that they are lucky to have such an opportunity.
But there is always no shortage of careerists among the Terrans.
Especially third-rate careerists whose ambitions and abilities cannot match.
These two eunuchs in Xuanyi are typical representatives of this.
Zhao Feng looked at these two familiar faces and couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother? ”
The two Xuanyi eunuchs regained their consciousness at this time, but their breath was sluggish and they were extremely weak.
Hearing Zhao Feng's question, both of them couldn't help but scoff.
The emaciated eunuch's head collapsed at this time, and his face was distorted and he said: "Zhao Laogou, I have nothing to say about falling into such a situation, if you want to kill or chop it, you can do whatever you want." ”
At this time, he already knew that he had no way to live, so he said in a boring manner.
On the other side, the sturdy eunuch with broken legs shouted excitedly: "You gave us hope at the beginning, and you extinguished our hope with your own hands, is there anything more cruel in this world?" ”
As the sturdy eunuch spoke, he shed unwilling tears.
"Crying for what? Hold back all your pee, and look at your useless appearance! ”
The emaciated eunuch saw his companion crying, and scolded angrily with red eyes.
"You have been practicing for a few years, and it will not be a problem for you to step into the eighth grade, and you will be able to occupy a place in the palace when the time comes, and you will have a good life......
Before Zhao Feng's words were finished, the emaciated eunuch interrupted: "But what about them? ”
As he spoke, his head gestured to the door.
Zhao Feng naturally understood what he meant.
When people live, they are afraid of comparison.
It would be nice if the people around me were as depressed as me.
But if the people in the same circle suddenly develop and chase hopelessly all their lives, how to release the resentment in their hearts?
What made them even more uncomfortable was that the opportunity was right in front of them, but they didn't take it.
"Why should you fight for others, once you have no life, everything will stop."
Mr. Shang sighed on the side.
Hearing this, the emaciated eunuch, who had always been very excited, suddenly fell silent, lowered his head and stopped squeaking.
After a long time, he continued: "Old dog Zhao, don't bother, kill us." ”
"You can't pry anything out of our mouths."
Zhao Feng grinned, and suddenly said gloomily: "This is not necessarily. ”
As soon as these words came out, even the sturdy eunuch stopped crying, and the hearts of the two of them tightened at the same time.
They've only heard of this place, and it's the first time they've come in.
And I heard that few of the people who came in made it out alive.
The dungeon of the hidden room of the Internal Affairs Office is a hell on earth that every eunuch and palace maid is in awe.
Seeing that these two Xuanyi eunuchs were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, Zhao Feng smiled proudly, and then said to them: "If you don't say it, do you think I can't guess?" ”
"I can guess with my toes who instructed you."
Zhao Feng shook his head and asked Mr. Shang to leave with him.
Seeing that Zhao Feng was so determined, the two eunuchs in Xuanyi couldn't sit still.
They glanced at each other, and they both saw the panic in each other's eyes, and then almost at the same moment, they all shouted in unison: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao...... We say, we say! ”
But it was already late, and after Mr. Shang and Zhao Feng went out, several expressionless eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes walked in and surrounded the two.
What made them even more desperate was that they knew all these flower-clothed eunuchs in front of them.
These are all people who were trained with them and who passed the trials.
Once upon a time, they were still called brothers, so they were not close.
But now it's ......
"Zhao Laogou, you can't die well!"
The two were swallowed up by the humiliation in their hearts, and roared unwillingly.
As a result, he was covered by the eunuchs in flowery clothes all of a sudden.
"Offended the manager, and still want to leave?"
"This hidden dungeon is your burial place."
"Assert ......"
The two eunuchs in Xuanyi struggled frantically, making a whimpering sound, and shouted indistinctly: "No, don't...... Let go of my ......"
……
Out of the hidden dungeon, Zhao Feng still sighed.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mr. Shang gave him a kick angrily.
"What a sigh of old age, drive away all the blessings!"
Zhao Feng patted the soil on his buttocks indifferently, and then said a little discouraged: "Godfather, I finally gave away a brand, but I was slapped in the face like this, it's really uncomfortable." ”
Manager Shang just smiled at this: "The other party deliberately found these two people, which proves that I saw your protection of Jingyang Palace, and it was deliberately to embarrass you." ”
"I have my own plans for this matter, how can my godfather ever see a child suffer." Zhao Feng sneered.
"It's just that over there in Jingyang Palace, my old face is really clean."
There are only two little girls and a little kitten in Jingyang Palace.
Could it be that Zhao Feng lost people this time, and he still had to go to Jingyang Palace to explain to them well, not that he had a bad face, but that he was too stunned?
No matter how thick-skinned Zhao Feng is, he can't do this.
The elderly, they are most afraid of being embarrassed in front of their children.
The old child is looked down upon by the child, and it is more uncomfortable than killing him!
This is also what makes Zhao Bong so mad.
"As time goes by, there will always be a chance to regain face."
Mr. Shang has nothing to do with himself, hangs high, smiles, casually persuades, and has no sincerity.
Zhao Feng also heard his godfather's perfunctory, and glared at him helplessly.
As Mr. Shang said, this face can only be found in the future.
Otherwise, when he went to Jingyang Palace to speak in the future, Zhao Feng felt that he couldn't straighten his waist.
"Niang Xipi, I have to tell Your Majesty to send two eunuchs in flower clothes to Jingyang Palace to guard the door."
"Next time, I won't be surnamed Zhao!"
With an idea in his heart, Zhao Feng left the Internal Affairs Mansion by himself, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
……
The next day.
Zhao Feng visits Qingshu Temple.
But what he asked to see was not Concubine Zhang, but the four princes.
The fourth prince was pruning a potted plant in his courtyard at this time, and took scissors to cut off some long and crooked branches from time to time.
"Old slave Zhao Feng, meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
Zhao Feng said and arched his hand slightly, not even bothering to owe a debt.
The four princes didn't hear it, humming a little song to themselves, pruning the potted plants, and only after a while did they suddenly come to a moment.
"Oops, Mr. Zhao has arrived."
"These subordinates are dumb, and they don't know how to report it."
"Mr. Zhao, please take a seat."
The fourth prince said and pointed to the big stone next to him.
No way, the only wooden stool here was under his ass.
Zhao Fengpi replied with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the four princes, but the old slave just came to greet His Highness, and it won't be delayed for long." ”
"In this way, Mr. Zhao is busy with the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, and he can be so attentive, which really touches me."
The four princes are not salty either.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Suddenly, Zhao Feng took a step forward and pressed the scissors of the fourth prince.
"Your Highness, it seems that you can't cut it here, this is the main branch, and if you cut the tree, you will die."
"Oh? Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao also has research on potted plants. ”
The fourth prince said unexpectedly.
"I understand a little, I just understand a little."
Zhao Feng stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured, indicating that he knew very little.
"But what do I think, these are all sprouts?"
The fourth prince was puzzled, handed the potted plant to Zhao Feng's eyes, and then said: "Please also ask Manager Zhao to carefully palm your eyes, don't miss it, but cut the main branch." ”
Zhao Feng did not shirk, took the scissors from the hands of the four princes, and then pointed to the potted plants and said, "Your Highness, look." ”
After that, Zhao Feng clicked and directly cut off the main branch that was growing and majestic, leaving only a small bud, and suddenly the entire potted plant next to it looked bare.
The fourth prince couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes, staring at the potted plant he had raised for more than three years, and took a deep breath, but he couldn't speak.
At this time, Zhao Feng also whispered in the ear of the fourth prince: "The original main branch has been cut, isn't this young shoot the new main branch?" ”
The fourth prince turned his head to look at Zhao Feng and found that the smile on his face at this time was particularly gloomy.
The fourth prince nodded and said in a deep voice, "I've been taught." ”
"Then congratulations to Your Highness."
Zhao Feng said this and returned the scissors to him.
Just before leaving, he suddenly asked, "Does Your Highness like the main branch or the shoot?" ”
"All love all love ......"
"After all, they all grow from a single root."
The fourth prince looked at the bare potted plant in his hand, and his tone was a little lost.
Zhao Feng sighed, and then said: "Since Your Highness likes potted plants, there are some truths that don't need to be elaborated by the old slave. ”
"Always pretend to be a side matter, be careful when someone really cuts it off, and then regret it too late."
"Cut down a branch and damage a hundred plants." The fourth prince suddenly burst into a sentence, and then added: "Bonsai is about harmony, and you can't all be the main branches. ”
Zhao Feng smiled, noncommittal.
"Born a hundred-foot tree, cut into long strips. It's a pity that the pillars are thrown away in the valley. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you have to be filial, don't pull the old slave in the future."
"Otherwise, the filial piety of the old slave is not something that anyone can afford."
Zhao Feng turned his head and brushed his sleeves and left, how could there be any etiquette.
But the fourth prince gave up the potted plant in his hand and bowed.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for making it complete."
"There will never be a next time."
Thanks to "Ethereal Traveler 119" and "Dwarf98" for their tipping support.
Thank you for your monthly pass support.
On the first day of the shelves, the completion of the day is 10,000, congratulations!
