Eunuch's professionalism

Mingcui Palace is located near Yeting Lake, and it is also one of the three palaces that Fu Chen cleans every day. He is familiar with every plant and tree here.The palace has elegant scenery everywhere, and it is a quiet place isolated from the palace.It is not so accurate to say that it is a forbidden area, but in addition to cleaning the servants, the general eunuchs or people in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will tell their faces not to go inside, but the specific reason is unknown, maybe even the managers are not clear.

The two of them stood in the hidden place of the corridor, and the summer wind swirls and blew on their bodies through the exquisitely carved window lattice hollows, which could not help but extend the swishing coldness.

"What are we doing here?" Mei Jue couldn't help but clenched the corner of her clothes.

She can understand Fu Chen's meaning, relying on appearance alone can only make the emperor linger for a short time, and there are not many beauties in the harem.There are so many beauties here, not to mention that Concubine Li is the number one beauty in the Jin Dynasty, but every high position in the palace has its own merits. If she wants to occupy the position in the emperor's heart, she needs to rely on special methods to win by chance.

But how to get it was at a loss. Only then did she realize that even though she had been in the harem for ten years, she could not get in touch with the emperor, and she knew nothing about him.

These days, Fu Chen only asked her to wait patiently, and he would naturally notify her when the time came.She now has a few things that Fu Chen gave her that are extremely precious in her eyes, which can be said to be unique in the world.One is the beauty prescription, all the things needed are ready-made, and leftovers can be found in the dining room. After using one of the prescriptions, she felt that the bruises under her eyes have faded a lot, and her face is not so puffy when she wakes up in the morning. The second is to describe the dance steps There are several complete sets of dance moves on it, and each step has its essentials and notes, which is very easy to understand.But what surprised her the most was that, as an aunt, she was familiar with all kinds of rhythms and dance steps, even those from the Western Regions, but the movements drawn by Fu Chen were unprecedented. How did the head grow, how could it be so different.The third is to memorize a little-known book called "Nanqing Fangyi", and understand the meaning and allusion of each sentence in it.

"This is Mingcui Palace, which used to be the residence of Emperor Zhenyi." Fu Chen observed the surrounding area, heard the knocking sound outside, and confirmed that the time had not come yet.

"The emperor's mother, how do you know?" Zhenyi Huangguifei, that is the posthumous concubine Zhenyi after her death.Mei Jue looked at Fu Chen in surprise, Fu Chen was just a little eunuch before, how could he know these royal secrets.As the third-rank aunt of this place, she was only ordered not to come in at will, but she didn't know why.

"I have been a sweeping eunuch in this area for three years, and I have met the emperor before." Fu Chen said ordinaryly.

However, Mei Jue knew that it would be impossible for anyone else to have Fu Chen's meticulous observation and three-year patience. Whose residence must be guessed through many clues.It can be said that her confidence in Fu Chen was built up bit by bit in the past three years.

"Will the emperor come later? The death day of the imperial concubine Zhenyi is not today." It had already passed half a year ago, and all the concubines in the palace would eat vegetarian food for three days to express their nostalgia.

She didn't understand Fu Chen's choice today.

"I will come, do you know why I asked you to memorize and remember "Nanqing Fangyi" by heart?"

"I've been meaning to ask you."

"South Qingzhou is her native place and place of birth, and this book was the only engraved reading material when she was alive, and it was circulated in a small amount among the people, but few people know that the author of the book is Zhenyi Huangguifei." Fu Chen went out. The palace lantern in his hand continued, "In the heart of the emperor, today is the real death day of the noble concubine He Shi of Zhenyi. The day half a year ago was for other people to see. The world was not peaceful after Jin Taizong took over the country. When Emperor Cheng of Jin was young, he followed the He family who had just been concubine Zhen and had not yet returned to the imperial capital. He was chased by soldiers and fled everywhere. He slept in the countryside and ate grass mustard. The He family was kind and helped many people with the only remaining food. People. Your task today is to treat yourself as a poor little girl who was rescued by He."

"How do you know?" Who would tell Fu Chen such a thing! ?

"It was described in the "Biography of Concubine Zhen" that I saw when I was cleaning the library."

"But..." She knew that the little eunuch would often be temporarily assigned some extra errands, and Fu Chen used to build walls in the east and mend nets in the west.Cleaning the library is usually only scheduled for an hour, but there are hundreds of thousands of books, how can it be possible to read and remember the contents under such a heavy workload, unless you can read ten lines at a glance!

"My biggest advantage is that I have a good memory." Fu Chen had many nicknames in the past, such as genius, monster, lone star of the devil, obsessed with his life, strange doctor, etc. He didn't want to explain more about himself. In his opinion, this is not the purpose of coming here today. "I have observed in the past three years that Emperor Cheng of Jin would choose today to pay homage to the He family every year. This coincides with the time of "The Story of the Concubine Zhen". It can be inferred from this that the memory of that period made Emperor Jin Cheng remember so deeply that he believed that today is the only day of He's death."

"Cut the flesh and save the son!" It's no wonder that Emperor Jin Cheng loves his dead mother so much, it can move anyone!Such a weak woman can actually do this. Mei Jue stopped the involuntary images in her mind, took a breath and said, "Isn't it appropriate for me not to do any decorations or makeup today? Isn't it too dull?"

Indifferent, how to attract the emperor.

"You have to be like this, the simpler the better, and it is best not to wear makeup. Any modification today will offend the emperor. For a man, it is not his appearance that shakes his heart the most, but the things that are buried in his heart and guarded all the time." .”

"You know men so well? You're still a boy." In the originally serious atmosphere, Mei Jue couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"But I belong to this group, and I understand the inferiority of this creature." Jin Chengdi was obsessed with Li Concubine's allure, De Concubine's understanding, Queen's solemnity and elegance, Qi Gui's concubine's pride and agility, etc. They were all he needed. Yes, but not necessary.Like a drink, he likes it but is not indispensable. What he lacks most now is a person who can understand and fit in his soul, a woman who can fill the most hungry emptiness in his heart.

"Today, there is a [-]% chance that you will anger Emperor Jin Cheng and be executed." The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk, Fu Chen cannot guarantee success.

"That's [-]% left, can he impress him? Then it's enough for us—to fight!" Mei Jue is a woman who is determined to go forward. Her resilience and kindness are also Fu Chen's choice to push her. Don't shrink back needlessly, don't think too highly of yourself, don't be arrogant or discouraged.

"Well, you still need to adjust your appearance before going out..." Fu Chen scanned Mei Jue's clothes up and down, made them looser, and pulled the waist belt tighter, looking very weak, Fu Chen was picky Just like a stylist, looking at the work in his hands, "Okay, it's almost time, do as I told you before."

"Ok, I……"

Fu Chen observed the trajectory of the moon and made a silent gesture.

Every year to this day, Emperor Jin Cheng is very depressed and irritable. He will not summon any concubines, and even anyone who shows up in front of him will be severely reprimanded by him. The old people in the palace know this rule. This day will not be in front of the emperor. It's annoying, but newcomers don't know it.Today, a beautiful girl "coincidentally" met the emperor in the imperial garden, and he would have been happy to have fun on other days, but today he didn't even look at how shy the beautiful girl was, so he put her in the cold palace and created a new world. This is the history of show girls being rejected the fastest over the years.

Just 20 years ago today, his mother and concubine saved him from starvation by cutting up his flesh and bloodletting him. How could these women have the right to laugh so happily in front of him without knowing what to do!Everyone is pretending on the day of the death of his mother and concubine, why not take a closer look at "The Biography of the Concubine Zhen" and "Fang Yi of the Southern Qing Dynasty" to see what his concubine mother has done for the common people!What qualifications do these hypocritical women have to mourn the people he respects most!

In the eyes of Emperor Cheng of Jin, Imperial Concubine Zhenyi is the most perfect woman in the world.

Emperor Cheng of Jin waved everyone away, and as in previous years, he came to Mingcui Palace alone.

His mother and concubine don't need any dirty and hypocritical misses to dirty the mother's concubine's reincarnation path.

However, when he was about to step into the atrium, he found that someone had already arrived first!

Who is it, why did it appear here at this time?

Didn't I say that no one can come here at will except for daily cleaning?Did they take my words on deaf ears?

But Emperor Jin Cheng didn't rush in immediately, he hid aside and looked inside.

Under the moonlight, I couldn't see the figure clearly, but I could vaguely see that it was a slender and thin woman, dressed very plainly, and the summer wind would blow her palace clothes to nothing, making her look weak.

Mother... mother concubine?

Emperor Jin Cheng's nostalgic gaze was confused for a moment.No, no, the concubine mother can't wear the clothes of a servant, who is that?

The woman kowtowed in the direction of the main hall, even though her head was bleeding and she didn't feel it.

The sound of 嗙 嗙 嗙 is endless.

The impact sounded like boulders hitting Emperor Jin Cheng's heart, slightly moving his face.It's not that there are no women who kowtow to their mother and concubine, but they are the first ones, with such heartfelt nostalgia and such sincere feelings.

But Emperor Cheng of Jin didn't believe it. The women in the palace were too good at acting, so it might be another good show.

He wanted to wait a little longer, wait to get out, and see what the people inside were going to do.

But what the woman said next broke Jin Chengdi's conspiracy theory, and he couldn't help but suspect that after the incident of Concubine Li being framed, he was too aggressive towards the women in the harem.

The woman left a line of clear tears. She was softly beautiful under the moonlight, her eyes were clear, and she was intoxicated without being startled or disturbed. This woman is actually a woman whose complexion is not inferior to Concubine Li, and he has been in the harem for so many years. I have seen how low-key this is.

"Your Majesty, this year's maidservant came late again. You won't blame the maidservant. You are so good, how can you blame the maidservant? The slaveservant deserves to die. This year there are many beautiful girls in the palace to serve the emperor. If you can see it, you must You will be very happy. Do you still remember the green balls you gave to your servant back then? The servant asked for some wormwood from the imperial dining room and made some by myself, but I don’t know if it suits your taste.” As she spoke, the woman made a poorly made one. The same green group was placed on the floor tiles in front of the knees. Although it didn't look good, it could be seen that it was made by hand.

The women in the harem, even the aunts, don't know how to make food by themselves.Tell the emperor that he made it himself, but he usually just watched it from the sidelines or chopped vegetables.

Then the woman seemed to have thought of something, and knocked her head, "This thing can't appear, my lady, why don't you eat it now, slaves can't stay for long, this year's beautiful girls are more beautiful and more active than three years ago, come on Something happened in the palace in a few days..."

The draft is generally held once every three years.

The woman began to chatter.

Qingtuan is usually eaten during the Qingming Festival in modern times. It was also a folk cake in the Jin Dynasty. When the He family led Jincheng Emperor into trouble, he collected wormwood and made it for the common people with the glutinous rice flour he brought. , It’s just that such a thing is not recorded in the history books, and very few people know about it.

After that, the woman talked to herself alone, talking about some trivial matters of being an aunt, the volume was very soft, very ordinary but directly hit people's hearts.It's as if he just didn't want Mrs. He to be too lonely underground, so he came over to chat about family affairs.

See the truth in the ordinary.

Emperor Cheng of Jin had roughly guessed the identity of this woman, who should have come from the folk.

He came out of the shadows, thinking of what he saw, his voice softened a lot, "Who were you from back then...?"

He spoke very softly, as if he was afraid that if the voice was too loud, the woman would disappear.

This woman, like running water, is calm and passionate, and wiped away all the boredom of the day. There is such a pure and clean person in this palace. Emperor Jin Cheng never thought that one day he would use such a words to describe a woman.
