"The Queen wants to see me?" Li Xuan looked stunned.

He is a little eunuch, and he has just returned to the palace, why did he attract the attention of the queen's mother?!

He also specially sent his chief steward to summon him.

Could it be that something is going on?

Li Xuan is still a little stunned to see these big names now.

Wei Jingzhong summoned him before and asked him to follow him to suppress the bandits.

Although it is said that he has made a lot of money, it is also a life of death.

This kind of encounter, Li Xuan didn't want to ask for a second time.

Lin Shouhe looked at Li Xuan and said meaningfully: "I really can't see it, I saw you half a year ago, you were just a little Cheng of "Mighty Bull Demon Fist", and now, you are already a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm." ”

Li Xuan hurriedly bowed down and said: "It all depends on the support of Chief Manager Lin, the small ones are today, the grace of Chief Manager Lin, and the small ones are unforgettable." ”

Lin Shouhe waved his hand: "I have already resigned from the position of the chief manager of the cold palace, and in a few days, the chief manager Zhang will be promoted to the chief manager, with full authority to coordinate the affairs of the cold palace." ”

When Manager Zhang heard this, he immediately bowed down and said: "Manager Lin will always be the boss of the small one, if you can use the small one in the future, please do not hesitate to tell me." ”

He was humble, and not overjoyed by the fact that he was about to be promoted to the position of Grand Governor.

Li Xuan had long known that Manager Zhang was going to be promoted to the position of Chief Manager, so he was not too surprised.

He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Lin, you know people well, and you admire them so much." ”

There was a pause.

He looked at Mr. Zhang again: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on his promotion, I believe that Mr. Zhang will definitely be able to inherit the spirit of Mr. Lin and let the cold palace recreate the glory of Mr. Lin's period." ”

This remark is not leaky, neither side is offended, and they are all flattered.

not only named Manager Lin not because of the requirements of the superiors to resign, but because of his unique vision, he took the initiative to choose the person who succeeded him as the chief manager, and secretly praised that Manager Zhang has excellent ability and is qualified to sit in the position of chief manager.

"This little Xuanzi licking skill is not under me." ’

Manager Zhang glanced at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "Then our family will inherit the auspicious words of Steward Li." ”

Lin Shouhe has always had an unsmiling attitude:

"Okay, whether it's a harem or a cold palace, no matter how big or small the position is, it's all for the queen's mother, let's be slaves, just do our best."

Li Xuan and Manager Zhang both froze slightly, bowed down and said, "What Manager Lin said is that the little ones have benefited a lot. ”

Lin Shouhe ignored the compliments of the two, looked at Li Xuan and said:

"Xiao Xuanzi, let's go, follow me to see the queen mother, don't let the queen wait too long."

"Yes."

Li Xuan had the heart to ask why Empress Lin Shouhe summoned him, but when he saw the latter's official appearance, he couldn't help but didn't ask more.

If you say too much, you will lose, since you can't hide, then just wait and see what happens.

Manager Zhang advised: "Xiao Xuanzi, in front of the queen, don't lose your etiquette, whatever the queen asks, you will answer, you know?" ”

"Yes." Li Xuan bowed.

Lin Shouhe didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

Li Xuan followed closely behind, deliberately half a body behind.

The two quickly left the cold palace compound and walked towards Kunning Palace.

Until a quarter of an hour later.

Lin Shouhe spoke: "Xiao Xuanzi, aren't you curious, what is the reason why the queen suddenly summoned you?" ”

"The little one is naturally curious, but the little one also knows that if he should tell the small thing, Manager Lin will definitely tell the little one, and if the little one asks more, it will be distrusting Manager Lin." Li Xuan bowed slightly.

Of course, this is just a polite remark.

If it was a more familiar eunuch like Zhao Hao, Li Xuan would naturally ask without scruples.

It's a pity that Li Xuan, the general manager of Lin University, is completely unfamiliar, so he naturally has to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Lin Shouhe heard Li Xuan's answer and smiled:

"Interesting, you little eunuch is calm, no wonder the martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in half a year, it seems that the queen mother is not wrong."

After that, he said no more.

"You're laughing at a fart, but what is the matter...... Li Xuan complained in his heart, eager to blast the riddler in front of him.

After a stick of incense.

Li Xuan followed Chief Manager Lin to Kunning Palace.

Although he had been to Kunning Palace once before, Li Xuan was still shocked by the atmosphere of this Kunning Palace.

Carved railings and painted buildings, the ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, and the ground is chiseled for lotus.

Just to build this palace complex, I'm afraid it will cost millions of taels of silver.

Not much.

Lin Shouhe took Li Xuan around the corridors, and finally came to a palace in the center and walked in.

The palace is about a thousand steps square, and on both sides stands pillars made of golden silk nanmu, shining brightly.

This golden silk nanmu is extremely strong, and can even be used as a raw material for ritual weapons.

At present, it is only used to carry the beams of the palace, which is not a luxury.

Combined, it is estimated that these golden silk nanmu will cost more than 500,000 taels of silver.

The ground is also paved with green leaf stone, and the stone patterns on it are clear, smooth and translucent, and it is obvious that people wipe it every day.

In the palace, there are also priceless paintings.

Each of these paintings contains a mystery, and after looking at it for a long time, it can even make people fall into it and be unable to extricate themselves.

It's a verve painting, and each one is priceless.

In every corner of the main hall, ambergris incense is also lit, and a few green smoke rises, exuding a faint fragrance, which makes people feel energetic when they smell it, and the soul seems to be nourished.

Now.

In the center of the main hall, a man stands in front of a red stripe, practicing calligraphy.

She was wearing a floor-sweeping red robe, her hair hung down and her tassels were shaking, just looking at this back, she felt extravagant.

"Niangniang, Xiao Xuanzi from the cold palace brought it over." Lin Shouhe bowed slightly.

Li Xuan knelt down and said goodbye: "The little one has seen the queen mother." ”

The queen did not answer, but practiced calligraphy by herself, and did not stop the pen in her hand until after a cup of tea.

On the rice paper I saw, there were four big characters written about the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing: Mother Yi World.

If you look closely, you can see that the word is full of charm, as if there is a phoenix crying.

The queen mother picked up the paper and looked at it for a while, then sighed faintly:

"Mother Yi world, these four words are easier said than done."

She turned around, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Excuse me." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Although Li Xuan was unhappy in his heart, the queen put herself aside, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

This queen is not something he can offend, even if the identity of the queen is put aside, this queen is also from the Xia family, one of the nine great families.

The Xia family is the default head of the nine great families.

Empress Xia opened her mouth and said: "Xiao Xuanzi, this palace remembers you, last year's Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, you stepped forward to protect the harem concubines from the demons of the Hellfire Sect, and your courage is commendable." ”

Her voice sounded soft, but it was like smoke, and it could remain in the air for a long time, exuding a powerful majesty.

This is truly graceful and luxurious, with a bearing that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Li Xuan has now broken through to the manifestation realm, his spirit is full, but he is not suppressed, he just pretends to be slightly frightened, bows down and says:

"The mother has won the award, this is all small should be done."

Empress Xia's beam-like voice continued to come, and she couldn't hear joy:

"I heard that half a month ago, you were summoned by Wei Jingzhong, and then followed you to Taihu Province to suppress bandits, this palace is a little curious, why do you have a cold palace steward, and you will get involved in the affairs of Dongchang?"

It turned out that he was asking about Taihu Province, not that he noticed that he had any problems, so he specially came to ask about it...... Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, bowed down and said:

"That's right, sis......"

He knew that this queen must have known about this before summoning her, but she didn't dare to hide anything.

At the moment, the cause and effect were quickly explained.

Queen Xia said lightly: "So that's the case, Hongying's girl has always been unruly, the rivers and lakes are too heavy, and she doesn't look like a princess at all. ”

There was a pause.

She continued: "You tell the palace about what happened in Taihu Province this time, no matter how big or small. ”

"Yes."

Li Xuan immediately talked about the process of exterminating the Black Wind Village, as well as the raging demon tide, and the birth of the fate map.

Some of the details that will expose themselves are naturally changed or understated.

Empress Xia was a good listener, just standing aside and listening quietly.

It wasn't until I heard about the Demon Tide and the birth of the destiny map that I would ask a few more words.

Li Xuan naturally told the queen mother some of the news he heard, combined with his own experience.

This narration took half an hour, and Li Xuan's mouth was a little dry.

After listening to this, Empress Xia did not show any discoloration: "Governor Wei Chang is far-sighted, this palace is really admired, it seems that it won't be long before I can have one more martial saint, congratulations." ”

After speaking.

She didn't ask about Taihu Province anymore, but talked about the cold palace:

"I heard in this palace that some time ago, Zhao Ying, the daughter of Marquis An Yuan, wanted to hang herself?"

"Yes, Zhao Niangniang may not be able to figure it out for a while and want to find a short-term view, but after being explained later, her mood has stabilized now."

Li Xuan didn't wonder that the queen would know about the cold palace.

The big and small things in this harem, I am afraid that few can hide from the queen's mother.

Queen Xia said lightly: "The concubine of the cold palace, because she was degraded, she couldn't adjust her mentality for a while, and it was indeed easy to do things out of line, which requires more guidance from you on weekdays." ”

"Yes, the little one must do his best to serve all the ladies well." Li Xuan bowed.

"This Zhao Ying is the concubine in charge of Chen Min, and now that this kind of thing has happened, he can be regarded as a dereliction of responsibility, this palace originally wanted him to sit in the position of the head manager, but now it seems that there is something wrong."

Empress Xia glanced at Li Xuan: "Xiao Xuanzi, although you have not been in the cold palace for a long time, you are shrewd, and you also get along well with those concubines in the cold palace, so let's do it, you will sit in the position of the head of the cold palace, what do you think?" ”

Although she was inquiring, there was a hint of unquestioning in her tone.

Li Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect that Queen Xia would appoint him as the manager, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

But.

He reacted quickly, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you for the queen's appreciation, the little one will definitely do his best in the future to share the queen's worries." ”

Although doing so, he will definitely provoke his father-in-law Chen Gonggong to be extremely unhappy, and even turn against him.

It's just that at the moment, he can't refuse at all.

Listening to the tone of this queen mother, if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he won't even have to do anything!

Hey, for the sake of his own future, he can only suffer his father-in-law.

Empress Xia said lightly: "I heard in this palace that you were promoted to the East Factory by Shangguan Rou?" ”

Nima, this queen's intelligence ability is also very good, so soon to know...... Li Xuan bowed:

"Yes, but the small one is just a temporary position, and he doesn't have to be responsible for the affairs of the East Factory on weekdays."

Empress Xia's voice was calm: "Since I have received this position, I need to be of some use, I walk around with Dongchang on weekdays, so that I can hear more news, Dongchang is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, His Majesty is busy with cultivation now, and rarely asks about Dongchang, if there are people in Dongchang who deceive the Holy Hearing and guard and steal, it will not be good." ”

Li Xuan immediately understood: "Yes, the small ones are also familiar with some colleagues in the East Factory, and they will have more contact with them on weekdays. ”

He could hear that this Empress Xia didn't seem to be too relieved about Wei Jingzhong.

Therefore, I want to be her eyes and ears and understand some of the movements of Dongchang.

'The East Factory let herself monitor the movements of the cold palace, and the queen let herself secretly supervise the East Factory, this Nima, the whole self is like a double agent. Li Xuan complained in his heart.

Of course.

He also knew that he was just a pawn planted by the queen mother at will.

For the queen mother, it is naturally good that she can provide relevant information, but if she can't provide it, it won't hurt.

promoted herself to be the manager, probably so that she could do things for her more dedicatedly.

Anyway, the position of the head of the East Factory is anyone's right.

His role in Niangniang is obviously greater than that of Chen Gonggong.

Therefore, Chen Gonggong was naturally squeezed down.

Empress Xia said lightly: "In a few days, the appointed documents will come down, and you will do a good job for the palace in the future, otherwise, what the palace can give you, you can also get it back." ”

"Yes, the small one will be the sword in the hand of the mother in the future, and the mother will fight wherever the small one is."

"Stand down."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly left the palace.

After Li Xuan leaves.

Lin Shouhe spoke: "Niangniang, this little eunuch is quite good at judging the situation, why don't you send him directly to the East Factory, Wei Jingzhong is now in retreat to refine the life map, and there will definitely be no way to get out of the customs in a short time, it is a good time for us to install people." ”

Queen Xia shook her head: "Don't worry, some things in the cold palace, this palace still needs someone to watch, this little eunuch can make Zhao Ying, who hanged himself, change his mind, but he has some ability, let's keep him in the cold palace first, maybe it can be useful in the future, those concubines in the cold palace, but there are many restless lords." ”

"When the villain heard that Simon was there, he sent someone to intercede, wanting His Majesty to release that Duanya, and promised a heavy treasure......" Lin Shouhe said.

Empress Xia nodded: "Your Majesty agreed, and it won't be long before this Duanya can leave the palace and return to Simon Kingdom." ”

Lin Shouhe was stunned: "Your Majesty can agree to this kind of request, isn't this a disguised show of weakness with Simon?" ”

Empress Xia glanced at Lin Shouhe: "Your Majesty's business, can you also criticize it?" ”

"The villain knows his mistake, and asks the mother to atone for his sins." Lin Shouhe knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to confess.

Empress Xia ignored Lin Shouhe and turned around and continued to practice calligraphy.

The rice paper with the words 'Mother Yi Tianxia' written on it was thrown aside by her.

……

Li Xuan returned to the cold palace, only to feel a little chill behind him.

Although he was promoted to the head of the queen's mother, he was not happy at all.

Nima's, there is no such thing as a free pie.

I don't know if I have to do some dirty work for this queen mother in the future.

Moreover, in the future, I have to take the time to go to Dongchang to listen to the information, otherwise the queen mother will ask in the future, and she will not know if she asks three questions, then he will be removed from his post, so that he will not even be able to mix in the cold palace.

At the moment, we can only take one step at a time, improve our strength as soon as possible, and if we really encounter trouble in the future, it will be easier to solve it." ’

Li Xuan suddenly felt that time was becoming tight again.

Really.

It's not all a good thing to be noticed by big people.

Li Xuan thought about it, found Manager Zhang first, and roughly explained the matter on the queen's side.

Manager Zhang didn't have much opinion about Li Xuan's imminent promotion to head manager, but congratulated him.

Although he was more inclined to let Gonggong Chen succeed him as the head of the office, since Li Xuan was appointed as the head of the office, he did not dare to have any opinions.

Instead, he thought in his heart that he would get closer to Li Xuan in the future.

After all.

In just half a year, Li Xuan has been promoted from a miscellaneous eunuch to the chief manager, and this ability and luck are not something ordinary people can have.

It's worth his wooing.

Li Xuan said a few polite words, and then sent a flying spirit pill to Manager Zhang.

However, this time, Manager Zhang confiscated it, but instead gave Li Xuan a bone pill worth 100 taels, but Li Xuan couldn't do it.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhang.

Li Xuan brought all kinds of gifts he bought from the road and went to visit the ladies under his jurisdiction.

I am about to be promoted to the head manager, and I will have more mothers to manage in the future, and I will have less time to share with each mother.

You can only use the method of buying gifts to try to make the rain and dew even wet.

The ladies received the gifts, and naturally they were smiling.

But.

When they heard that Li Xuan was about to be promoted to the head of the department, and they might not have so much time to come over in the future, they turned into bitter gourd faces one by one.

They all talked about their own difficulties, hoping to get a little more attention from Li Xuan!

It was originally a gift to the girls, but it directly became a grievance meeting for the girls.

"Xiao Xuanzi, you are very powerful, it took less than half a year to change from a manager to a general manager, do you have to be promoted to the general manager of Ming'er?!"

Inside a palace.

A lady wearing a white palace skirt, with a beautiful appearance and a little bookish atmosphere, was squinting at the talismans on the table.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, the little ones are just lucky." Li Xuan said on the side.

After he had pacified the other mothers, he came to this palace.

There is a white lady named Bai Feifei who lives here, and like Xiao Niangniang, she is also from the Taoist gate.

The door of the White Lady is called the Rune Gate, and the best thing in the door is to draw talismans.

Li Xuan's "Xuanzhen Fu Technique" was learned from this lady.

Bai Niangniang was ordered to enter the palace that year and drew some auxiliary talismans for the palace, but was valued by Emperor Qiandi and included in the harem.

However, within a year, he was framed for drawing spells and was relegated to the cold palace.

Bai Niangniang smiled, and suddenly came to Li Xuan's side, almost facing her face, squinting her eyes, and said:

"I don't care if you're the chief or the chief manager, did you buy what I asked you to buy?"

Li Xuan took a step back with a smile and said, "Of course, the small ones have bought a few more, and the mother will see which one is suitable." ”

He took out a few boxes from his sleeve, and they contained something similar to glasses.

This white lady has been drawing talismans all year round, her eyes are a little short-sighted, and the previous glasses were inadvertently broken by the white lady, so she could only let Li Xuan change them.

The white lady picked up the glasses in the box, tried them one by one, and finally chose a pair of dark green-framed glasses and put them on.

"Wow, my world is clear again." The White Lady was overjoyed.

Li Xuan looked at the white lady wearing glasses, and had to say that after some people wore glasses, their appearance would directly increase by several levels.

The White Lady belongs to this kind of person.

When she doesn't wear glasses, the white lady can only be regarded as delicate.

After putting on the glasses, the white lady's delicate spirit has a little more of the temperament of the royal sister, and the two complement each other.

Bai Niangniang held up her glasses and said with a smile: "Xiao Xuanzi, the mirror you chose is really good." ”

There was a pause.

She continued: "Since you helped me, then I will also tell you a secret of the harem, you will definitely be interested." ”

"Little one." Li Xuan smiled.

He knew that in addition to drawing talismans, the white lady in front of him loved gossip the most, and she was typically not strict in her mouth, and she dared to say anything news.

Li Xuan suspected that this white lady was demoted to the cold palace because she said something and inadvertently offended people.

The white lady said in a low voice: "I tell you, the emperor can't do it......"
