Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

It's all about acting like an imitation, even the tone of speech and the time of pauses are the same as that of Empress Zhangsun!

At first, Li Er was quite useful.

Anyway, this woman can be regarded as the cousin of Empress Changsun, Ai Wu Jiwu, even for the sake of Empress Changsun, she still has to show some love for this woman who also has the same surname of Changsun.

But with the passage of time, this bit of 'love' has completely turned into loathing!

Li Er saw the elder Sun Shunde clearly.

In the final analysis, isn't it the empress of the eldest grandson who took care of the overall situation and sent another one in without consideration for his eldest grandson's family, just to blow the pillow wind?

As the so-called bystanders know, Li Chengqian saw this a few days earlier than Li Er.

Only he can perceive the difference between this woman and the queen mother.

There are some things that appearance cannot make up for.

"The concubine thanked His Majesty!"

Mrs. Changsun gave a big gift to Li Er, but she couldn't see how happy she was.

"Meet the eldest grandson Zhaorong!"

This time, it was Li Chengqian's turn to salute the Changsun family.

Just before Liu Jin announced the decree, the Changsun family did not have any status, not even a concubine.

But with Zhao Rong sealed, it will be different.

Zhaorong is the second rank, second only to the empress and four noble concubines in the palace.

In other words, in the entire harem, only Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yin can surpass her in status.

Empress Changsun is not around, and Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin have always lived in seclusion. From this moment, the Changsun family has almost become the master of the harem!

With a title, strictly speaking, she is already Li Chengqian's little mother, so of course she has to salute.

Changsun turned her body slightly, not daring to accept the crown prince's full gift.

He raised his head, and was about to say something, but found that Li Er had taken the prince away!

Liu Jin stood where he was, and said with a smile: "My servant congratulates you! According to the rules in the palace, all your food and beverages will be upgraded to Zhaorong's standard. This Yanying Pavilion will also be rebuilt. Your Majesty said, you In the next few days, you can go to Zichen Palace to live temporarily!"

Changsun was taken aback for a moment, and then a little joy appeared on his face.

She ordered her personal maid to give Liu Jin a reward, "Your Majesty asked me to take care of the Palace Bureau, the Inner Court Bureau and other affairs. If there is anything wrong, you should ask Director Liu for advice."

These places were originally under the jurisdiction of Liu Jin, with rich resources and great power.

Now that it is in the hands of the Changsun family, it is not obvious that Liu Jin is unhappy.

He always had a grinning expression on his face. After thanking him for the reward, he shook his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty will follow your Majesty's instructions. If there is something that cannot be done, please bear with me!"

With a flick of the sleeve of the robe, a bag of reward money, plus two bills, had already entered the depth of his sleeve.

After taking his farewell and leaving, he took out the things deep in his cuffs again.

He weighed the reward and handed it to Xiaoman beside him.

He spread out two more bills, and after looking at them, even he couldn't help but gasp.

Xiao Man approached curiously, and Liu Jin pushed his head away.

"Go, go see your master!"

Ye Ting Bureau!

The news that Wynn will retire at the end of the year has spread throughout the palace.

Anyone who knows that Liu Jin will take over from him.

Especially in recent months, Wynn's physical condition is not very good. Liu Jin is responsible for the task of being on duty every night. Sometimes, he feels low energy during the day.

As a result, Liu Jin completely became Li Er's follower, but Wynn didn't show up often.

As the chief steward of the palace, although Huai En is a slave, in terms of status, he is no worse than noble concubines.

Those concubines who rushed to get under the emperor's bed would give him something every year.

After the "selection" at the beginning of the year, many people came to the palace.

Wynn put a lot of gift boxes in the yard of Yeting Bureau.

As soon as Liu Jin entered the door, he heard a violent cough.

He ordered Xiao Man to stand guard at the door, and tiptoedly opened the door to enter.

"Master"

"Cough cough cough-"

Another cough came in response to him.

Liu Jin looked at Huai En who was lying on the soft couch with a yellowish face, and said, "Master, why don't you want to go to the academy to have a look?"

Wynn waved his hand, sniffed his nose a few times, and said, "It's just a cold, it won't kill me, we are all servants, why bother two genius doctors?"

Liu Jin rubbed her hands together, and said, "It's really not possible, it's better to call the imperial doctor in the palace. Today, His Majesty asked the apprentice three times, and kept saying, let the apprentice take good care of you."

Wynn chuckled, "Your Majesty is a man who knows what's cold and what's hot, and he also cares about us slaves."

"But Tuer really can't figure it out. Why don't you let the doctor take a look? Wind-cold is a minor illness, but if you drag it on, you don't know what it will turn into!"

In Liu Jin's heart, Wynn has long been a family member.

Seeing his sickly appearance, Liu Jin felt very uncomfortable.

Wynn took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoman is outside?"

Liu Jin hurriedly called Xiaoman in.

"Master!"

Wynn looked at Xiaoman kindly, and pointed to the stool next to him.

"You sit first."

Xiaoman waited for Liu Jin to sit down, then ran outside again, moved a short pier, and sat behind Liu Jin.

Wynn coughed a few times, and said: "Your Majesty said that I can go to the academy at the end of the year and don't have to stay in the palace. This is a great thing for me, but I can't worry about you two alone."

Saying that, he sighed.

"Outsiders look at our scenery, but who knows, we live more carefully than anyone else, like walking on thin ice, for fear of taking a wrong step, if we make a mistake, it is a trivial matter to put our own lives on it, and it will harm the people around us, It makes people sad”

Liu Jin showed Wynn the two receipts that Changsun gave him just now.

After reading it, Huai En said with a smile: "That's right, that's the reason why your majesty will go to Mount Tai, and your mother will go to Luoyang. The huge palace will be left to others. Even if there is a prince in charge, what they should have, or Thoughts that shouldn’t be there will slowly surface.”

He looked at Liu Jin, and said: "That grandson Zhaorong is willing to give you such a precious gift, which means that she has already moved her mind on you, and His Majesty and His Royal Highness have given her a hard time. Huo waits for His Majesty to leave, and the harem will be chaotic."

Chapter 696 It Can't Be Less Than 30 Coins, Right?

After Wynn finished speaking, Liu Jin remained silent, and Xiaoman was in a cold sweat.

As the saying goes, the harem is stable, that is because of the Empress Changsun, a virtuous empress, who sits in charge, and is assisted by two noble concubines, Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang, who know the general situation well.

However, if the three of them didn't show up, no one would know what kind of chaos would happen to the harem that had been suppressed by them for many years.

At the status of Huai En and Liu Jin, ordinary concubines dare not mess with them at all.

But Xiaoman is different. Although he has the status of Huai En's grandson and Liu Jin's apprentice, in the final analysis, his position in the palace is just a mere eighth-rank purchasing eunuch.

The eunuchs and maids below rushed to curry favor, but the concubines didn't use it.

Wynn propped himself up and sat up, "son, you are still young, what the master is most afraid of is that you will be bewitched by others"

Xiaoman stood up with a 'crush' and knelt at Wynn's feet, "Xiaoman must follow in the footsteps of Master and Master, and will not be deceived by others!"

Huai En glanced at Liu Jin, Liu Jin understood what he meant, and went up to pull Xiaoman up.

"Since your master said it, he must have left you a way out!"

Wynn smiled and said: "That's why I feel more at ease with your master. He is a ghost, and he can't suffer. There are some things that he can't suffer from. Learn more from your master. We slaves live hard in the palace. If Master hadn't saved His Majesty's life several times on the battlefield, I'm afraid he would still be living on the streets, fighting for food with wild dogs."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket.

"Your master, my old face is exhausted in front of His Majesty. I have exchanged a position for you. In the future, you will follow the prince. In this huge city of Chang'an, only the prince can protect you."

Xiaoman was sobbing, took the letter, and said: "Master, please take good care of your health. If you don't want to see a doctor, Xiaoman will go to study medicine and treat the master well!"

Huai En shook his head, said to Liu Jin without further explanation, "Let's go."

Leaving the yard, Xiaoman wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Master, why is Master always reluctant to seek a doctor? His illness cannot be caused by wind-cold at all!"

Liu Jin shook her head, "Don't let outsiders know about your master's illness. Those people in the harem are watching. If your master falls, our master and apprentice will face great pressure."

He spread his hands, and showed Xiao Man the two crumpled receipts.

"30 guan?!"

Xiaoman exclaimed, and hurriedly covered her mouth again.

Liu Jin sneered and said, "The 30 guan can be given by Changsun's Zhaorong? She is looking for a teacher, and she may even plan to use the teacher as her eyeliner in the palace!"

"Besides, she's just a show. There are more than 20 concubines in the harem, Jieyu, beauties, and talented people. They all have their own names. Can they feel at ease?"

Xiao Man said nervously, "Is it because His Majesty is going to Mount Tai?"

"There are too many things here, which are related to the entanglements of various forces. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of being smashed to pieces. However, your master has arranged for you to escape. He is right. You just have to follow the prince closely. You can climb out of this big storm!"

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the Yeting Bureau and came to the ruins of the Xuanzheng Hall in the Central Palace.

Liu Jin asked Xiaoman to wait outside, and walked in with lowered eyebrows by herself.

as predicted!

Li Er wandered among the ruins.

I don't know what he thinks, but I especially like to come here to sit for a while recently.

It seems that you are admiring your own masterpiece

Li Chengqian stood behind Li Er and followed step by step. The two of them were talking about something.

"His Majesty!"

Liu Jin came to Li Er, without saying anything else, and directly presented the bill to Li Er.

Li Er took a look at the amount on the bill, chuckled, and said, "It's such a big deal, if it was placed in the first two years, I'm afraid even I would be tempted."

Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Jin, and said, "You guys have made some money recently. Zhaorong paid 30 guan, and other Zhaoyi, Xiurong, and Xiuyi can't be less than 30 guan, right?"

Liu Jin is a smart person, knowing that the crown prince is reminding himself, he hastily said: "The servant has collected the silver and wants to hand it over to His Majesty for Feng Chan's expenses!"

Li Er laughed loudly, and said: "In this way, I am a bit harsh on Ling Wu."

He put away the receipt without any pretense, and then said to Li Chengqian: "Wynn told me that his apprentice, Xiaoman, is a clever boy, and he will follow you to run errands in the future."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Thank you, Father, for your generosity!"

Li Er said to Liu Jin again, "how is Wynn's body?"

Liu Jin's voice was a little heavy.

"Master, an old man, said that illnesses go away like spinning silk. At this age, I can't bear even a little cold. I am really ashamed of Your Majesty's trust."

Li Er's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Wynn has saved me three times on the battlefield. Others praised him for his good martial arts skills, but he didn't know that all his martial arts skills were forced out on the battlefield. Now he is ill, but I can't help him"

After speaking, Li Er took a deep breath.

"Go and tell Wynn that he saved me three times, and I can meet his three requirements. The first requirement has been used, and now there are two left!"

Liu Jin knew very well that the first request was to send Xiaoman to the prince.

The harem is a maelstrom, and almost every concubine represents a side of power.

Of course they dare not fight for Wynn.

For Liu Jin, if they can get it, it will be a good thing for them. If they can't get it, there is nothing Liu Jin can do.

But Xiaoman is different.
