After two days, Xu Yunshen's injuries recovered as before.

As soon as he appeared in front of others, he came to summon him to the palace.

Everything was light and simple, and the decree was just a little eunuch, with a carriage next to him.

"My lord, please get in the car, the emperor is still waiting in the palace of all things. The little eunuch laughed.

Xu Yunshen stepped on the ruts, pulled the wall of the car and got into the car.

However, because of the initial recovery from his injury, he did not control his strength well and accidentally grabbed the handrail and smashed it.

He looked at the little eunuch in embarrassment.

The corner of the little eunuch's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just a car carrying goods, and if it breaks, it will break down." ”

Xu Yunshen nodded, lifted the curtain and sat in, and the little eunuch followed closely.

He still felt a little uncomfortable, because through the jailer Ma Ning, he knew a little about the law of money in the palace. Xu Yunshen can't guarantee whether this little eunuch will be troubled by the internal eunuch because of this matter. So he took out some silver out of his bosom, about a dozen taels - anyway, the silver was all out, and the rest was silver tickets.

When Xu Yunshen handed over the silver to the little eunuch, the other party hurriedly thanked him and said repeatedly: "My lord is really a good person. ”

As soon as the little eunuch accepted it, it was heavy, and he almost didn't hold it, and he immediately knew that there were dozens of taels.

Although this money is nothing to these big people, it is still a lot of income for him. What's even more rare is that this adult is so considerate, he can't help but have some tears in his eyes when he thinks of this.

How long has it been since you met this kind of big man who treats his subordinates as people?

The little eunuch put the silver in his small cloth pocket, tied it around his waist, and pulled the belt out of an arc.

He said familiarly: "My lord, if you are curious about anything in the palace, just ask the small one." ”

The carriage tossed upside down, and the silver in the cloth pocket collided with each other.

Xu Yunshen smiled, tilted his head to think about it, and asked, "I want to know something about Princess Enjing." ”

In the palace, he didn't know much about it and then wanted to know everything, and the only people he knew were the emperor and Chen Enjing.

Especially Chen Enjing, the appearance he saw did not match the rumors. If there are some discrepancies, it's fine, but the rumors don't match the real people he saw at all.

Xu Yunshen added: "Does she like to wear a mask to travel on weekdays?"

"Princess Enjing. The little eunuch suddenly realized, and then said with a wry smile, "Actually, Princess Enjing is just an ordinary appearance...... It's just that when you say it, no one else believes it. I don't know who said the phrase 'travel with a mask every day', and the rumors became more and more prevalent, and they couldn't stop. ”

Xu Yunshen could almost think of the helpless look of that ordinary little girl in his mind, and couldn't help laughing.

"I have heard that children follow their parents. The prince follows his mother and has outstanding appearance. Presumably, Princess Enjing is with the emperor, and her appearance is mediocre. Xu Yunshen made a bold assumption.

The little eunuch laughed for a moment, then hurriedly held his breath and put his finger in front of his lips, looking nervous.

Then he said: "The emperor is wise and martial." ”

Xu Yunshen said yes with a smile. He also knew that the people of the palace could not speak falsely, and that there were some things that he could say, but they could not say. What's more, the partition wall has ears (coachmen), who knows whose eyeliner this groom is. In case the two forces clashed, he, the little eunuch, would be subjected to unwarranted disasters and be used as a medicine primer for attacks.

The medicine primer will die out in the end.

The car stopped.

The coachman said, "My lord, the Xuanwu Gate has arrived, please come down and walk." Inside the palace, it is forbidden to drive. ”

"What about the goods?" Xu Yunshen came out of the curtain and looked up at the steps in front of him, and at the end of the steps were the grand Xuanwu Three Gates.

The palace as a whole is three feet above the ground, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build.

The coachman replied: "Naturally, it depends on human transportation." ”

Xu Yunshen's eyes seemed to see many ordinary people holding up the lifeline of this palace with rough hands for their livelihood or because of labor. He sighed:

"Life is not easy. ”

The little eunuch climbed a step and said to him: "Please hurry up, the emperor has been waiting for a long time." ”

Xu Yunshen shook his head and followed the little eunuch.

The white stone steps are wide, and you can only walk two steps to go up to the next level. There are two steps upward, and there are insects, fish, birds and beasts carved in the middle place, and a hundred flowers are blooming.

Xu Yunshen's steps were very light, for fear of stepping on the hands of the craftsman.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally arrived at the Xuanwu Gate.

The little lady had already passed through with the guards, and a crack had been opened for them to enter.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard. The little eunuch quietly took some silver out of his cloth pocket and stuffed it into their hands.

The soldiers suddenly smiled, and scolded with a smile: "You are still sensible, you can climb to a high position sooner or later, and you will become a great eunuch in the future, but don't forget your brothers." ”

"Naturally, naturally. The little eunuch smiled and said.

Their faces did not match the soldiers Xu Yunshen had always seen, there was no fortitude and bloodiness on their faces, only greed and laziness.

After walking away, Xu Yunshen said: "It's like this in the palace?"

"It's all true. The little eunuch laughed, "Do you think these filthy things are unbearable? If you put the toll aside from it, they are actually good people. Be considerate of your family and take care of your brothers. However, there are also a few rice worms, drunk and gambling, and are a scoundrel. And thank you for the money, these are enough for the villain to operate for a while. ”

Xu Yunshen followed him wordlessly, walked for a long time, and then suddenly said, "What's your name?"

He wanted to remember the little eunuch, who, like the previous jailer, Ma Ning, was in the mud and looking up at the stars. In other words, with a mind of its own.

"The original name of the little one was Wei Jin, and he was called Xiao Shunzi. Adults can call me a little straight. Wei Jin, or Xiao Shunzi, bowed to him and said respectfully.

Xu Yunshen shook his head, and his tone was firm: "Wei Jin is good, there is no need to be named." ”

Wei Jin was silent for a long time, bowed his head, and kowtowed to Xu Yunshen in the snow.

The snowflakes were on his clothes and hair, but Wei Jin didn't care. He just said in a complicated tone: "Master Xie." It makes me feel like I'm still a man, not a dog. ”

"Why bother. Xu Yunshen helped him up and dusted the snow on his body, "Life is like a play, no matter how much you act, you can't lose yourself." Wouldn't that be a shame?"

Wei Jin laughed, then turned around and continued to lead the way.

However, he secretly wiped his face with his sleeve.

......

The entrance to the Hall of Everything.

Xiao Shunzi brought Xu Yunshen to. Wei Jin saluted the eunuch outside the hall and said.

The eunuch was much older than him, and his face was slightly vicissitudes, probably fifty or sixty years old. He nodded, replaced Wei Jin, and led Xu Yunshen in.

Originally, he was supposed to do the work of leading people, but when he was assigned to this little eunuch with little status, no one dared to gossip.

"The little Shouhe brought Xu Yunshen to. Different from the indifference at the door, the old eunuch put on a flattering face and said in a loud voice.

Chen Ruo, who was reviewing the folds, raised his head when he heard this, looked at the snow on the old eunuch's body, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Shou and you have worked hard, go down and rest." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron. The old eunuch bowed and bowed down for a long time.

Xu Yunshen looked at it in his eyes and did not speak.

"Come on, give Xu Qing a seat. As soon as Chen Ruo gave the order, someone brought a chair and placed it next to Xu Yunshen.

Xu Yunshen looked at the position of this chair, facing Chen Ruo, and felt a little awkward, so he declined: "Thank you, the emperor is still standing, and he doesn't dare to sit on an equal footing with the emperor." ”

Now there are no outsiders, and he calls himself a "minister" to show that he is obedient to Chen Ruo's will.

Chen Ruo smiled and heard what he meant, so he didn't pursue his refusal.

He said: "Xu Qing is curious, why do I want to suppress this matter? ”

Xu Yunshen nodded.
