From eunuch to emperor

Zhu Yong walked into the room and saw the little concubine Narcissus leaning on the head of the bed, her complexion looked much better.

"master."

Several maidservants in the room immediately came to kowtow to pay respects.

Zhu Yong ignored it, sat down by the bed, took Narcissus's delicate hand, and asked, "Is it better?"

The room is full of oil lamps and candles, leaving no dark corners, and no mosquito nets are hung.

Narcissus still looked a little frightened, and asked, "Master, I heard thunder in that yard just now, is it... has the evil spirit been eliminated?"

The noise just now was so loud that Narcissus could hear it even with the door closed.

Zhu Yong said happily: "That's right, Daoist Chongxu invited the sky thunder of the Zifu to blow up the female ghost to death, and she is already out of her wits."

"Don't be afraid, there will never be any female ghosts again."

Zhu Yong likes narcissus very much, because she is watery, especially watery.

Zhu Yong has a special hobby, that is, when he is thirsty at night, he doesn't like to drink tea, he likes to drink water.

There are many beauties, and he has been looking for a concubine who can save him from drinking tea in the middle of the night, but Narcissus is the only one he has been looking for for decades.

Of course, the drinking water here is boiled water, from the kettle.

"That's good, it scared me to death."

Narcissus held Zhu Yong's hand tightly and said, "Master, you can accompany me tonight, I'm still afraid."

Zhu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, I'm here to accompany you."

The maid immediately came over happily to take care of undressing and washing feet, and waited for Zhu Yong to rest in the room.

In this big family's courtyard, it is like the competition for favor in the imperial palace. Where the head of the family spends a long time as a concubine, the maids in this room are more arrogant.

That night, Zhujiazhuang was very quiet, and there were no more ghost cries.

The next day, when the sun rose, Zhu Yong got up slowly, and Narcissus also slept soundly that night, feeling better.

The maid served the two of them up and had breakfast.

Narcissus suddenly said: "Master, it seems that a Taoist priest came yesterday, is he the one who exorcised me?"

Zhu Yong felt a little upset when he remembered that Long Chen took the broken magic needle and pierced Narcissus's head yesterday.

My own woman, in front of my face... Long Chen did that.

However, this is also something that can't be helped, as Narcissus is like that.

"Yes, that's Daoist Chongxu. Fortunately, he gave you an injection to drive away evil spirits, and also gave you a pill."

Narcissus said curiously: "I want to go and see, what does this Taoist priest look like if he is so powerful?"

Zhu Yong had a lump in his heart, he didn't want Narcissus to see Long Chen, but he couldn't bear Narcissus' entanglement, so he had to take her there.

After coming out of the room, the concubines in other rooms saluted Zhu Yong at the door.

Everyone was dressed brightly, and wanted to take this opportunity to win Zhu Yong's attention.

Narcissus raised her chin high, straightened her chest, and walked all the way holding Zhu Yong's arm, like a victorious rooster.

"What's your air, little bitch? When you see a ghost, you scream like a ghost."

The concubine of the fourteenth house sneered and mocked.

The fifteen-room concubine next to her echoed: "Yes, if it weren't for the Taoist priest, he would be dead on the bed now."

The sixteenth concubine walked over, looked at Narcissus's back and said, "I heard that the priest stabbed her here with a needle."

The sixteenth concubine pointed to her chest, and the others gasped, feeling their teeth were sore.

"Isn't it, you're facing...a head piercing?"

The little concubine of the sixteenth house pursed her lips and said "Yes", indicating that it was so.

Others tutted and said, "Then it won't be pierced here, right?"

The concubine of the sixteenth house said vividly: "Who knows, maybe it's tied up. I heard that I was only wearing a bellyband at the time, and everything was seen."

These little concubines talked a lot behind their backs, they were short of saying that Narcissus was killed by Long Chen on the spot.

Narcissus didn't pay attention to the gossip behind him, Zhu Yong didn't care if he heard too much of this kind of talk, the concubine has long been used to fighting for favor.

When he arrived at the guest room, Long Chen had already packed his things and was about to leave, but the housekeeper Zhu Xi was trying to persuade him to stay.

"Master, the Taoist priest is leaving."

The housekeeper, Zhu Xi, couldn't stay, and when he saw Zhu Yong coming, he reported it immediately.

Zhu Yong took two steps, stopped Long Chen, and said: "The Taoist is leaving? You are our Zhu Family Manor's great benefactor, can you stay for two more days? I also want to show my kindness as a landlord."

Zhu Yong was grateful to Long Chen from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to keep Long Chen at home for two more days.

Long Chen took a look at Narcissus, she was wearing a light pink dress today, wearing a snake bun, wearing a gold step shaker, and her makeup was gorgeous.

The dress is light and thin, as if you can see the tender skin under the clothes.

Long Chen secretly thought in his heart: yesterday's needle was taken lightly...

"Thank you for the kindness of the owner. I am so poor that I am used to wandering around, so I feel uncomfortable living here."

"Suppressing demons and eliminating demons is the duty of the poor, so you don't have to be polite."

"Uh..."

Long Chen sized Narcissus seriously, but hesitated to speak.

Zhu Yong didn't know what Long Chen meant, so he quickly said: "Narcissus, don't thank Daoist Chongxu for saving his life."

Narcissus kept secretly looking at Long Chen, she was amazed by Long Chen's appearance and temperament.

Zhu Yong is old, and looks average. Long Chen is tall and straight, handsome, and wearing Taoist robes, he has the temperament of an outsider. Narcissus thought to himself: I heard that he looked at my body, and he thought he was at a loss. It's not a bad idea now.

Yesterday, after Narcissus woke up, the maid told the story of the exorcism.

When Narcissus heard that Long Chen had pierced her with a broken magic needle in her pajamas, she felt ashamed at the time.

Seeing Long Chen so handsome now, he felt a little excited in his heart.

Narcissus took a step forward, bowed with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Daoist Priest, for saving your life."

Looking at Narcissus, Long Chen had a strange expression on his face, but he still made a salute: "Be kind, please be polite, it's just a matter of duty."

After finishing speaking, Long Chen still insisted on leaving, but Zhu Yong couldn't keep it, so he immediately asked Zhu Xi to go to the warehouse to get the money.

"The Taoist priest has helped a lot, and he must be rewarded with a lot of money."

Zhu Yong is a bold man who is willing to spend money.

Zhu Xi immediately went to the warehouse, but Long Chen stopped Zhu Xi and said: "Master, the poor Taoist is a monk, what use is gold and silver?"

"Pindao said that subduing demons and eliminating demons is a matter of duty, and there is no need to be polite."

Zhu Yong insisted on giving it, saying: "I know that the Taoist priest doesn't love money, but I have to give it."

"Zhu Xi, go quickly, only take gold ones, not silver ones."

Zhu Xi immediately went to the warehouse.

Long Chen had no choice but to wait.

After a while, Zhu Xi came over with a box in his hands, Zhu Yong opened it and looked, it was full of gold coins, then he closed it and gave it to Long Chen.

"Daoist, don't be disgusted, I have nothing but money."

Zhu Yong spoke very sincerely, Long Chen said with a helpless smile: "Well, it will be difficult for the owner to refuse."

Long Chen reluctantly put away the box, Zhu Yong was happy now.

"Pindao farewell."

Zhu Xi brought the donkey over, Long Chen got on the donkey, Zhu Yong walked out leading the bit by hand.

Narcissus followed behind, and other people in the village watched on both sides. Many people saluted Long Chen with clasped hands, which looked very funny.

Performing Buddhist rituals to Taoist priests is neither fish nor fowl.

After leaving Zhuangzi's gate, Long Chen said: "Villager, please go back."

Zhu Yong was unwilling, and said, "I'll send the Taoist priest off again."

Turning back to Narcissus, he said, "Go back first."

Narcissus glanced at Long Chen reluctantly, then stood helplessly at the door and stopped.

Zhu Xi brought a horse over, Zhu Yong got on the horse, and walked forward with Long Chen.

After walking for a few miles, Long Chen stopped, with a hesitant expression on his face, still hesitating to speak.

Zhu Yong is not stupid, he has already seen that Long Chen has something in his heart.

"Daoist, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, you are my great benefactor."
