The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

Yao Xi went back to the guard room and changed into the regular clothes given to her by the Empress Dowager, and took a big gold bar to get a badge to leave the palace.

As soon as she left the door, she found a little eunuch waiting for her.

"Eunuch Yao, the empress dowager is considerate of your father-in-law's foot injury, and ordered the younger one to take you to Yuanqing Gate to take a carriage out of the palace." The little eunuch said that he was going to pick up the things in Yao Xi's arms: "Help your father-in-law with the things. !"

Yao Xi hugged the big gold bar tightly, smiled and declined politely: "No need. This thing is not heavy." She felt that she must be like Gollum in Lord of the Rings at the moment guarding the big gold bar.She also felt that the empress dowager was really considerate, her feet had actually subsided, so it was hard for the empress to still miss her.

After leaving the palace, Yao Xi didn't have the time to wander around. He first went to the bank to deposit nine large gold bars, and exchanged one for silver. Then he drove through the streets and alleys in a carriage, and started the long road to purchase.

She had to buy something for Aunt Hanqiu, and Auntie gave her some snacks and tea from the internal government prison, although it was useless in the cherry blossom forest, but she remembered Auntie's intentions.

She also had to buy something for Meng Li'an, who couldn't get out of bed because of her beating, so she had to buy some medicine to go home.

And Princess Longyi.The jade carving she gave last time was a gift of flowers to the Buddha. At that time, she had no possessions, so she could only transfer the things that Zheng Da had transported to her.Now that I have the reward silver from the Empress Dowager, and live in the palace of Her Highness the Eldest Princess, I should spend some time in bringing a small gift to Her Highness the Eldest Princess.

Speaking of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.Then I have to bring a gift to the empress dowager. The pair of gold paperweights last time also belonged to Zheng Dayun.The empress treated her so well, she learned that she would repay her kindness.

And Zheng Dayun's side, in addition to the things that Zheng Dayun sent behind in the Ning'an Palace, she had to find a way to make up for the things she had received before and return them back.

There are also daily necessities that she wants to buy, such as cotton and cotton cloth that will be used soon,

After such a calculation, it seems that the silver exchanged for a large gold bar is not enough...

Yao Xi felt a little pain in his flesh.

There were a lot of things to buy, but luckily the Empress Dowager called a little eunuch to accompany her out of the palace, and they were riding in a carriage, otherwise Yao Xi really didn't know what to do with the huge amount of shopping.

"Go to Shangdemen." Yao Xi said to the driver after shopping.

The little eunuch who was also in the car smiled and reminded: "Eunuch is confused, we don't live in Ning'an Palace anymore, the carriage stops at Shangdemen, and it will be a long way to go to the residence of His Royal Highness the Princess!"

"I have to go back to Ning'an Palace to do some errands first, and then go back to the princess's palace." Yao Xi was not confused, she had to send the heaviest things out first, even with the help of the little eunuch, two people could carry such a heavy thing It is also strenuous for things to walk around in the palace!The only thing to blame is that the palace is too big.

Meng Li'an took leave today, went to Dongchang Hutong to accompany his godfather Meng Delai for lunch, and returned to Ning'an Palace not long ago.

Yao Xi ordered the eunuchs to guard the remaining things in the courtyard, and went to the garrison with the things he bought for Meng Li'an.

Meng Li'an managed to live in a room alone, and was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.After entering the Ning'an Palace, he suffered a lot of humiliation and beatings. When he went to Dongchang today, the doctor told him to take care of his vitality. Fortunately, he looked thin and weak, but he was actually a practicing family, otherwise he would be beaten like that. I don't know how many times I died.Now when I take a deep breath, the pain in the chest cavity is still severe. The doctor said it was a broken rib.

Hearing the knock on the door, Meng Li'an became nervous.

The two eunuchs who bullied him in Ning'an Palace were not the only two who died, those two were just in the same room, and they bullied him even more severely.When Yao Xi was there, those eunuchs were afraid of Yao Xi serving in front of the Empress Dowager, so they didn't dare to rush into the room to humiliate him like they did in the past. It might not be so after Yao Xi left.

"Who?" Meng Li'an didn't dare to open the door.It's not that he can't fight, but he can't fight. Now there is no assassin to take the blame for him.If he opened the door to let those bastards in, he would not be able to fight back, and his injuries would worsen.

"Brother Li'an! Open the door quickly." Yao Xi's voice was very excited.

Meng Li'an felt relieved after hearing Yao Xi's voice.He struggled to get up from the ground and opened the locked door.Yao Xi was standing outside the door, his face was beaming with joy, and he was holding a lot of things that he didn't know what they were.

Yao Xi walked into the room with a smile and put down his things, then quickly poured a cup of tea down his throat: "Your brother is dying of thirst. I didn't have time to catch my breath for two hours. They're all in a hurry."

"You left the palace?" Meng Li'an sat down on the side of the bed, clutching his stomach.

Yao Xi nodded, she looked at Meng Li'an distressedly and said, "It still hurts a lot?"

"How could it be so fast?" Meng Li'an smiled wryly.

Yao Xi knelt down, untied the big cloth bag she brought in, took out the things one by one, and said to Meng Li'an, "Brother went out and brought you some things. These are the medicines of Yihetang. The ointment in the box is for external application." , for internal use in a paper bag. By the way, I brought you a small charcoal stove for boiling medicine, so you can cook medicine at home. These are Baoqingzhai’s snacks. It’s cool these days, so you can keep them slowly eat……"

Meng Li'an looked down at the pile of things on the ground, and felt a strange feeling in his heart: "These are worth a lot of money, right? Where did you get the money?" He knew that Yao Xi had no family background.

Yao Xi pointed to the new clothes on his body and said triumphantly: "The Empress Dowager rewarded you. By the way, I greeted the eunuchs of Ning'an Palace and said that you are my younger brother. Anyone who bullies you will have trouble with me! Your brother I was promoted to a young prison, isn’t that the saying, one person can achieve the Tao, chicken... bah bah bah! In short, as long as your brother serves in front of the empress dowager for a day, those people will not dare to bully you again."

The thinner or more delicate young eunuchs in the palace will be bullied if they don't have a backer.For example, a group of people coaxed and yelled: "You are a sissy, don't be a girl!" Then they took off their pants in public to look at the wound.All kinds of teasing and even beating are commonplace.

For this matter, Yao Xi has always been grateful to Zheng Dayun.If Zheng Dayun hadn't confessed to the Siyuan Bureau that she was his brother before going to Zhejiang, her life would not have been so peaceful, and with such a face, many bad things would come to her.Yao Xi didn't have the heart to ask how Meng Li'an was being bullied, but she was also among the eunuchs, so she knew all too well about those bad things.

Meng Li'an was speechless, sitting by the bed and listening to Yao Xi's nagging instructions.This feeling of being cared for was unfamiliar, and he was at a loss as to how to respond.

What he told Yao Xi before entering the palace, except for the name, was all the truth.His parents died early, and his uncle confiscated a lot of money to get him into the palace and became an eunuch in order to get rid of his family's wealth and exempt him from paying taxes.He was only 11 years old when he first entered the palace, and it took many years to get along with Dongchangchanggong Meng Delai.

Meng Li'an was the name Meng Delai gave him when he recognized his godfather.

Stand the saddle on the back of the mule and horse.

To put it bluntly, it is livestock.

Meng Delai was just using him, he knew it well.Coincidentally, so is he.

"You go over there and take care of yourself." Meng Li'an looked at Yao Xi with a smile.This silly boy, it's not sure who will cover who!

Yao Xile said happily: "You don't even know how much the Empress Dowager thinks highly of me."

Meng Li'an couldn't help giving Yao Xi a sneaky look.What a shame.

Yao Xi didn't have the time to chat with Meng Li'an, so he hurriedly went out to fetch water, came in, opened the window and lit the charcoal stove, put the medicine pot on, raised his head and said to Meng Li'an: "The medicine is boiled, you can watch the time by yourself Remember to drink! If you are wronged, go to the eldest princess to find me, and I will make decisions for you when I come back."

"Okay." Meng Lian agreed.He didn't dare to drink this medicine, not because he suspected that Yao Xi would poison him, but because he came back after taking the medicine in the East Factory, fearing that the medicine's properties would collide and it would be bad for his health.But he appreciates Yao Xi's kindness, there are not many kindness in the palace who don't ask for anything in return.

Yao Xi left the room, called two young eunuchs, and asked them to send Zheng Dayun's things to the Supervisor of Rituals.She was grateful to Zheng Dayun, and she dared not fight when dealing with him.

***

When Ming Chengdi and Tang Huaili were discussing matters, Yao Shuanglan went to Longyi Palace.She thought that the empress dowager was temporarily living there, and her younger brother was taking care of the empress dowager, so he must be there too.

She wanted to avoid Longyi, she understood what the princess wanted for her, but she couldn't respond.Since there is no result, it is better to let others give up. The eldest princess will be 28 this year, and she should have been appointed a concubine long ago, why she has been delaying and doesn't want to know.But she was going to talk to her younger brother in Longyi Palace, so she had to pay homage to the mountain.

The empress dowager was only staying there, the palace belonged to Longyi after all, there is no reason to hide from the master and see guests after it has passed.

Long Yi was staring at the sky in the yard in a daze. After Wan Yu moved in, her activity area was reduced by more than half.Wan Yu had to pass by her when she returned to the palace, and she didn't even dare to go shopping in the garden for fear of meeting Wan Yu by chance, she just dared to nest in the small courtyard.

"Princess, Mrs. Lan is asking to see you." The palace maid came in to deliver a message.

Long Yi didn't want to see her.Lan Guiren has just been taken into the Qianqing Palace by the emperor's brother, so how could she say something nice to her at this time?Didn't he want to say something to make her give up again.

"Please come in." She couldn't bear to see her again, and it wasn't the first time she heard sad words, so just say it, anyway, she won't give up.

Yao Shuanglan entered the yard, saw Longyi glanced at her and immediately looked away, knowing that she was angry about what happened to Jingling Palace last night. "The concubine has met His Royal Highness the eldest princess." Yao Shuanglan saluted.

Longyi waved his hand to let the maid back down. "Lady Lan is not serving the emperor in Qianqing Palace, what are you doing here?" She has a kind temper, but she can't help but get angry with Lan Guiren.All the longing and unrequited love turned into bitter words when they met.

"Thank you, Princess, for coming to Jingling Palace last night." Yao Shuanglan sat down facing Longyi.

Longyi's expression softened a lot.She is irritable in front of Lan Guiren, but she is easy to coax, as long as she is in a soft voice, she will be in a good mood. "It's good that you have nothing to do. Last night in Qianqing Palace, you and the emperor..." Long Yi was expecting nothing to happen, but worried that something would happen.She knows Lan Guiren's temperament, if she is willing to sleep with her, she will give her heart to the emperor.

Yao Shuanglan understood that if she wanted to make Princess Longyi completely give up, she should lie and say that she served in bed last night.But looking at Longyi's expectant and worried face, she still couldn't bear to say anything.As soon as these words came out, there was really no possibility for her and Princess Longyi. She had been looking forward to Princess Longyi's giving up, only now did she realize that the person who had been unwilling to give up was actually herself.

"The emperor was busy with state affairs, he was busy at Jingling Palace until midnight, and fell asleep when he got back."

"Hmm." Long Yi smiled.

Yao Shuanglan was afraid that something would happen if she continued to chat with Longyi, so she turned to the main topic: "Is the Empress Dowager here?"

"What do you want her for?" Longyi said worriedly: "It's too late for the women in the palace to hide from her. You're better off, and you can send it to your door by yourself."

"I just came out of the Leng Palace. Although I saw the Queen Mother in the Qianqing Palace at noon, she came to the Qianqing Palace. As a junior, I should come to pay my respects first. The more I can't be provoked, the less I dare not be less polite." Yao Shuanglan knew The empress dowager didn't like her, and wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her younger brother to ease the relationship with the empress dowager.

If you offend the empress dowager, you will not be able to live in the palace.The emperor's favor is also unreliable, and Yu Meiren also deserves to be favored. Isn't it because of the empress dowager's words that he was put into the cold palace?

Wan Yu couldn't sleep.When I had nothing to do, I picked up Yao Xi's two story books and looked through them. The handwriting was blurry and difficult to read at first, but I got used to it after reading it for a long time.I flipped through the book without realizing it, and it was pretty good.After reading both of them in one go, Wan Yu was still a little bit unsatisfied, and her mind was full of the pitiful appearance of the son of the Xiangfu and the busker who were obstructed because of their different identities.

Disparity in status...

Wan Yu couldn't help but think of her and Yao Xi...

But if she has a heart for the eunuch, she won't be hindered.It's a pity that the eunuch is a eunuch!Wan Yu often had this thought recently, especially when she looked at the little eunuch's bright and charming face, and his tiny body that made people want to hug him.She would sigh secretly and think: It's a pity that the little eunuch is a eunuch!

When Wan Yu was immersed in the story she had just read, a court lady came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lan has come to pay her respects."

Hearing this, the smile on Wan Yu's face disappeared instantly: "Let her in!"
