Eunuch's professionalism

Concubine Qi Gui was busy arranging her body and clothes. Compared with the stern look on Shao Huayang's face, she looked even more flustered. The emperor was too old to be powerless, and obsessed with pills, so he rarely lingered in the harem.She just wanted to seek excitement, but she never thought of taking her own head to seek it.She also felt that the second prince was not only handsome, but also had the hope of becoming the next monarch. She was already dissatisfied with the emperor's inability to do what he wanted in bed, and when a younger one appeared, she naturally complied half-heartedly. The furtive stimulation made the two Thrill-seekers enjoy it.

But at this moment, she couldn't help being annoyed at her own carelessness, she wished to tear this forest man into pieces, and almost gritted her teeth.

Shao Huayang's clothes on the side are very complete, almost as long as he puts the clothes away, he is no different from usual, still well-dressed.He quickly walked out from the artificial mountain pass, and after only a few glances, he set his sights on the bamboo forest, and his steps got closer and closer.

Shao Anlin still had the elegant appearance washed away, his sparse gaze swept towards the tense Fu Chen, and he turned his direction so that Fu Chen could see the fluffy white ball on his shoulder.

When entering the bamboo forest, Fu Chen refrained from keeping his eyes on Shao Anlin for a long time, so as not to incur the crime of "disrespect". Naturally, he didn't notice this quiet little guy. It was also the one that made the noise just now. My favorite cat: glutinous rice balls.

Fu Chen signaled that he understood, and the questioning eyes seemed to say: what should we do next.Shao Anlin was startled, and remained silent. He didn't expect Fu Chen to understand what he meant immediately, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes. The two were clearly strangers, but this kind of tacit understanding made people feel happy.

Of course he didn't know that Fu Chen had made some achievements in psychology, and he was naturally good at trying to figure out people's hearts.

Shao Anlin held the glutinous rice balls in his hands, touched the soft hair with Sai Xue's bullying fingers, and put it on the ground.

The second prince Shao Huayang's eyes were tightly locked on the square inch of the bamboo forest.

Among the verdant bamboo groves, the rustling sound became more and more intense, and suddenly a white-haired dumpling emerged from it with a "meow".

Concubine Qi Gui breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she was dressed properly and returned to her radiant appearance.She walked out gracefully, with a pair of jade hands drawing an elegant arc, trying to hug the hair ball into her arms, but unexpectedly, the round-headed little guy quickly dodged, far away from Concubine Qi Gui.It is said that all things have spirituality, and people with too much turbidity should keep them away.

Concubine Qi forced a smile, and turned to Shao Huayang, who still didn't relax at all, "I think you're just a beast. This little beast is very naughty, and it's always easy for Sister Defei to find you."

Shao Huayang didn't say a word, his expression was cold and stern, the icy air was like a sharp blade, and the arc of his sneer could make people feel like freezing three feet, "Come out, I know someone is there, or do you want me to come in and look for it?"

It's a good idea to use the cat as a shield, and when the mind is confused, it will be exposed.It's a pity that Mingshenyuan is too far away from Concubine De's Fuxi Palace. Even if this cat has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for it to run so far by itself.

Fu Chen's expression froze for a moment, even the second prince, who was self-willed and impulsive on the outside, was not so easy to fool.He now faces two choices, wait for Shao Huayang to come in and see the two of them, or he will take all the blame for it alone.The third prince went out with all kinds of harm but no benefit, and involved a lot. Most importantly, if he chose the former, he might face the oppression of the two princes at the same time afterwards.The harm between the two powers is the lesser, Fu Chen firmly took a step forward, but was suddenly pulled back, the blue figure walked out before him, he stared at Shao Anlin's back in astonishment, he couldn't believe that this man didn't know this Regardless of the severity of the matter, he just walked out like this.

Fu Chen suddenly thought of the prestige of the three princes among the people. He often helped the poor, eliminated harm for the people, went to the land to enjoy the people, and so on. At this moment, even Fu Chen had to be a little moved. He was powerless The little eunuch Shao Anlin can do to the point of harming himself and benefiting others, it's no wonder everyone praised him.Regardless of whether there are other purposes behind it, this way of dealing with people is convincing.

When he saw Shao Anlin's figure walking out of the bamboo forest, even Shao Huayang was a little stunned, his face changed several times, and finally turned into a nonchalant smile, "What a coincidence, third child, are you out for a walk?"

Sure enough, he saw the glutinous rice ball running over quickly, rubbing against Shao Anlin's leg.

Shao Anlin also replied naturally: "I have nothing to do, I just happened to look at the lotus flowers in Yeting Lake. Second brother, Concubine Qi Gui, you are also here for the scenery, come for a walk?"

These words have two meanings: first, he told Shao Huayang that he happened to be here, not intentionally;

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Shao Huayang dropped the important point.

"Third brother, the last time I sent a name card to your house, I happened to meet you going out. It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. I wonder if I can spare the time for my second brother?" The hostility disappeared, and the peaceful voice seemed to be mixed with awe-inspiring sharpness.

The competition for the throne became increasingly fierce, and Emperor Cheng of Jin learned the lessons of his own succession, and even in his middle age, he was still reluctant to appoint a prince.Now that the eldest prince is nearly forty, seeing more and more princes approaching adulthood, these older princes are starting to get anxious.As a centrist and a popular candidate for the next national teacher, Shao Anlin, who has always been unbiased in favor of any prince, is someone who is tried to win over from all sides, and he never accepts invitations from the prince's residence.

If Shao Anlin accepts any prince's invitation, he will also release the news of his standing in a disguised form, and he can no longer stay out of the matter.

"A few days ago, I went to Wufu Mountain to pray for blessings. Now I will go to the second brother's house to ask for a cup of tea when I come back. I also hope that the second brother will not dislike it."

What Shao Anlin said obviously made Shao Huayang very happy, "Then the second brother will be waiting for you then!"

The two brothers said goodbye happily, and Shao Huayang turned to leave with murderous aura in his eyes.

The noble concubine Qi hurriedly left after saluting to Shao Anlin, and the courtyard returned to calm. After a while, Shao Anlin said in the direction of the bamboo forest: "Come out."

Fu Chen came out and came to the Third Prince.

Just standing still, suddenly, the other party's slender fingers stretched out towards Fu Chen, getting closer and closer, Fu Chen seemed to be able to hear his own breathing.

He picked up the bamboo leaves on Fu Chen's hair with his fingers and threw them into the air. Although there was no physical contact, it made the heart beat like a drum.

Fu Chen knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Third Highness."

This thank you is sincere. It is a fact that he saved his life. It is also a fact that he took all of Shao Huayang's attacks and revenge. As long as he went out just now, it would be a dead end.

"Thank me for what?" Shao Anlin smiled slightly, looking thoughtfully at the respectful Fu Chen.

"I can't repay the life-saving grace of this slave." Fu Chen kowtowed his head to the ground and replied.

"Confused? Hehe, I'm going to go in this game." Shao Anlin said something meaningful, and suddenly thought of something, and he came up with a stroke of genius, "A few days ago, you went to Koudan for your mother and concubine?"

"Yes, the slave is lucky enough to apply Kodan once for the empress."

"I vomited when I saw you leaving Fuxi Palace, but are you dissatisfied?"

"!" Fu Chen lowered his head even lower, Shao Anlin's words were a bit embarrassing, "I have an upset stomach."

He didn't expect that that scene at that time would actually be seen.

And what was even more unexpected was that, with the extraordinary personality of the third prince, he would actually ask such a direct question.

"Get up and answer." Shao Anlin seemed to accept this explanation.

Fu Chen stood up, but his chin was grabbed by the opponent's hands, and he was forced to raise his head, and his eyes met.

Such a gesture is very humiliating. The age gap makes Fu Chen feel a little oppressed, but his face is always respectful and submissive. Anyone who sees it should say something, what a docile slave.

Shao Anlin seemed to be looking carefully, and said slowly: "You know, whenever you say the word slave, there is never a moment in your eyes that you regard yourself as a slave."

Shocked by the darkness in the third prince's eyes, his whole body felt cold, and he felt his body was also frozen, and for the first time, he couldn't answer smoothly.

He can bow his knees, he can call his servant over and over again, he can even kneel down and beg for mercy, but the only thing that cannot be lowered is the little bit of dignity left.

But this point has never been discovered by anyone. He doesn't know where the third prince made such a determination. They have only met three times, and the first time Shao Anlin didn't even notice him at all.

"Slave, no, I understand." Fu Chen forced himself to be calm, Shao Anlin's words were nothing more than idle chatter in modern times, but in this era of supremacy of imperial power, it was a mind-boggling evaluation.Regardless of the strength on his chin, he knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave deserves death!"

Under this man's gaze, nothing seemed to be hidden, and it felt like he was naked.

The man's calm expression and his penetrating eyes made Fu Chen more humble and obedient.

Shao Anlin didn't cry out either, and looked at Fu Chen pleading guilty, and said: "Remember that you owe me your life, so follow me now."

"Your servant obeys." Fu Chen's forehead was red and swollen, and he didn't bleed this time, but Fu Chen didn't relax at all.

Along the way, Shao Anlin didn't speak, Fu Chen was a few steps behind and didn't chat casually.The master didn't give orders, and as a slave, he couldn't interrupt casually, let alone ask where he was going.

The cat named Tangyuan was held in his arms, and he stroked its fur gently. Tangyuan's fur is very soft, and it can be seen that it has been carefully maintained. It gently rubbed against Fu Chen's chest, making Fu Chen feel mood eased slightly.

The two went to the Lugu Courtyard, and the people living here are all people with special talents. These people do not belong to the Ministry of Industry, but serve the emperor himself.This includes the design of the palace building, the planting of the royal garden, and some projects that provide special services for the emperor, such as the construction of open-air hot springs and other places. This Lugu Courtyard is not far from Yeting Lake, so Shao Anlin's original purpose was to come here ?But Lu Tu saw the matter of the second prince and concubine Qi Gui, is it really just a coincidence?

When they reached the door, two eunuchs came out carrying a stretcher one after the other. On the stretcher was a man covered with a cloth.

Fu Chen went up to inquire and found out that it was an old eunuch who had passed away. After asking his name, he reported back to Shao Anlin, who frowned slightly, "At this time, the timing is really accurate."

Fu Chen didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he could tell that Shao Anlin wanted to come here to find someone, but this person might have already gone.

After walking for a while, Shao Anlin turned his head and his eyes slowly fell on Fu Chen.Shao Anlin is like a landscape painting that has come out, his casual movements exude freehand style, and his undisturbed aura complements his appearance and demeanor.

But after today's encounter, Fu Chen only felt horrified, but Shao Anlin suddenly smiled faintly, with a look of allure.
