Eunuch's professionalism
Chapter 37 (1)
Fu Chen carried the package and walked towards the prison yard. Along the way, screams and barks came from far away, but the inner courtyard is too big, and if you are far away, you can't hear anything.
"Even small people can cause trouble for them, don't you think so?" Fu Chen said softly to the package, the corners of his eyes were moist. Since his wife and children left one after another, he thought he had nothing to lose. No more mood swings.Only in this life can I know that as long as I have experienced it, there is nothing that can stay out of it and remain indifferent.
This is the worst point, there are eunuchs walking around in each individual small courtyard, most of them came back from the dining hall, and they are busy.Everywhere is full of chatter, gags, and fights. The prison yard is not as depressing as outsiders think. Just because it is a teapot without a mouth, I know that I am not compared with ordinary people. Except for some people who have lost their temper, most of them are more than usual. People’s psychological endurance is much higher, and their endurance is even more extraordinary. As long as they survive, no matter which master they serve and are punished, or are taught by the eunuch in charge, they will be able to entertain themselves and continue to do things after a while .There are also those in the courtyard like Fu Chen, who swear a few words, but they can't spread them, but they can relieve their anger.
Fu Chen came to the yard, some of them were wiping themselves, and some were holding a wooden basin, on which were folded clothes from the inside out, including outer robes, shawls, short brown, etc. All these had to be done before the eunuch in charge came. After washing, because this is a bad rule, you will be punished if you see it.It is strange to say that there is no place for eunuchs to wash clothes. If we talk about the Laundry Bureau, it provides services for the masters of the palace.In the dynasties before the Jin Dynasty, eunuchs didn't even have a bathing place. For example, in the Han Dynasty, the chief eunuch opened a bathhouse on the long street outside the imperial capital.So there are always people who comfort themselves and say that the Jin Dynasty is the best dynasty for slaves, and it is fortunate that they were born in this dynasty.Since the Jin Dynasty, there has been a mixed hall division, which is one of the four divisions. Even so, many young eunuchs do not go there.Some of the servants are old, experienced, and have high positions, so they need the eunuchs to serve them, and the attitude of serving the master is the same for them.The same is true for washing clothes. Usually, eunuchs without grades have to wash all the clothes when they come to the clerk, which will delay the rest, so the young eunuchs would rather take the risk of being punished and finish these things quickly in their own courtyard.
Those who brushed each other saw Fu Chen and greeted him with their shirts off. Anyway, everyone is a eunuch, and I don't have anything you don't have.This is also the reason why some young eunuchs are reluctant to go to the office. If some beautiful young eunuchs enter there, they may be targeted by evil older eunuchs.
Most of the old people in the courtyard were old people they knew, seeing Fu Chen greeted happily, "Could it be that you are not used to eating in Fuxi Palace, you kid, you've been coming here for a meal these days!"
"Chenzi, why is your complexion so bad, you seem to be drifting when you walk!" A person noticed that Fu Chen was not in the right state, and looked very weak.
"Haha, Chenzi is just a person who can't enjoy the blessings, and is suitable for raising rough." The sky darkened, and the others didn't realize that Fu Chen was wrong, they just thought he didn't eat well.
"Chenzi, come when you are waiting, I just got some chestnut cakes, come quickly!" Dongzi secretly took out a pastry bag from his sleeve.
"You bastard, hide your secrets! Don't you know the rules in our yard? If you have food to share, you only take it out when Chenzi comes. Before that, you were going to eat it yourself. You owe me a beating!" Zhao Zhuo slapped Dongzi At the back of his head, Dongzi covered her head and smiled.
Although Fu Chen's rank is much higher than the people here, the people in the courtyard still treat him the same as before.
Looking at the smiling faces, Fu Chen felt sore and swollen, as if his heart had been stabbed through.Maybe everyone is like this, if you can survive alone, when you see someone you are familiar with, you will lose control of your emotions at that moment.
He took a deep breath, raised his leg and kicked the courtyard door shut, blocking the outside world.
"What's the matter with you? What are you holding?" Zhao Zhuo heard that Fu Chen was coming, and walked out of the house. Since Wang Fugui left, Zhao Zhuo took care of all the big and small things in the courtyard, and Yang Sanma followed him. walked out.
Seeing that something was wrong with Fu Chen's appearance, everyone stopped what they were doing and surrounded him.
"Xiao Guang... is gone." Fu Chen could hardly speak these words out of self-loathing.
"You...what are you talking about, which courtyard took him away?" Zhao Zhuo blinked fiercely, holding back the tears that were about to burst out, and forced a smile.It's not that I don't understand, I just don't want to understand.
"I can only get these." Fu Chen lowered his head in disgust, he resented himself, and slowly handed over the package.
A group of people froze in place, and no one came to pick them up.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen by ice, it was obviously summer, but it was shivering with cold.
"That little bastard, Guangzi, is alive and kicking, and he's still smiling at us this morning..." Dongzi suddenly stopped talking, because everyone remembered the weird scene in the morning.
Yao Xiaoguang woke up very early today, and was very clingy, he insisted on hugging each of them, and said a lot of inexplicable things.
The child said most often, "It is the happiest thing in my life to be able to come to this courtyard."
Zhao Zhuo trembled and found that Fu Chen's hand was as cold as a corpse.
Opening the package, only one corner was lifted, revealing the broken organs and residual arms inside. No one felt disgusted or scared.
He slowly closed it, and after a while, as if he had accepted the fact, the tears that had accumulated in Zhao Zhuo's eyes welled up.
Ji Ke rushed forward to wipe away the tears, "Brother Zhuo, we can't cry."
Eunuchs and maids, if there is nothing to cry, they will be punished.
Even so, Ji Ke has tears streaming down his face. He has a good relationship with Yao Xiaoguang. Because they are similar in age, they often hug each other. It is also the little bit about Fu Chen that he and Yao Xiaoguang talked about the most.
"Everyone, don't...cry."
"Woo, woo!"
Some people nodded their heads, covering their mouths and desperately holding back tears, while some squatted on the ground and wiped their faces with their sleeves.
After handing the package to Ji Ke who was out of breath from crying, Zhao Zhuo was about to rush out, but Fu Chen rushed him to the hospital door, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to kill them! They don't, get, okay, die!"
As soon as Zhao Zhuo said this, the others wiped away their tears and wanted to rush out.
"No one is allowed to go, no one is allowed to go!" Fu Chen growled.
Zhao Zhuo is very strong. He is the head of the eunuchs. Although he has no rank, he is the same as Wang Fugui. He has a group of eunuchs under his command. The eunuchs in charge usually give them orders. Fu Chen couldn't hold back.
"Calm down!" When Zhao Zhuo rushed to hit Fu Chen, Fu Chen didn't hide, raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
I don't know if I said this to them, or to Fu Chen himself.
"If you stop again, I'll beat you up too!" Zhao Zhuo was beaten to the side of his head, he covered his face and growled.
"Come on! I won't let any of you out today!" Fu Chen said the same.
Anyone who knows Fu Chen knows that he is a person whose reason is much higher than emotion, and if he is not extremely sad, he will definitely not be able to use violence to solve it.
The two of you punched each other, but no one stopped them, because the expressions of these two people were too painful and remorseful.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't let him be a spy!" Zhao Zhuo shouted, hitting Fu Chen in the chest.
"If it wasn't because of my carelessness, I should have found out that something was wrong with him." Fu Chen also punched him.
They are just venting this pain in this way.
Until Zhao Zhuo beat Fu Chen to the ground, Ji Ke rushed up and blocked his attack, "Brother Zhuo, if you hit Brother Chen Zi again, just step on me."
"Step aside!"
Ji Ke shook his head and did not move a step, "This morning, Xiaoguang told me that his life is not good. The family has already sent three boys into the palace. The first two are dead, and one is not even cleanse." After getting through it, he is the weakest in body. He didn’t expect to get through it in the end, and he can still eat in the prison yard, sleep with everyone, chat, drink and eat snacks. He has never been so happy. He said he... He is happy at any time, he wants everyone to smile when they think of him, because we have suffered too much, so we have to laugh often!"
Ji Ke wiped away his tears fiercely, and curled the corners of his mouth in a daze, "Laugh, everyone should laugh, he left for all of us, we have to send him off with a smile!!"
"Ah—" Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo stood there for a long time, wiped away the blur in front of his eyes, and forced a smile.
Others were crying and laughing.
The ups and downs of this moment are deeply burned in everyone's heart.
This is the only place in the palace where Fu Chen can feel a little at ease. Maybe the eunuchs here also have their own ideas, but they are much more united than most of the courtyards. the hospital.
Fu Chen sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and lowered his head to make it hard to see his expression.
"Chenzi, don't blame yourself, you've done a good job." Yang Sanma hugged Fu Chen, "Look at you, now you're at the third rank, and I'm at the fourth rank. We'll all be fine, we'll all be fine..."
"Only power can allow us to keep more people."
"Yes, we can't let him go for nothing like this!" A group of people crawled to Fu Chen's side, they were crying weakly, and sat on the ground like Fu Chen.
"I have already been ordered to go to Changning Palace for cleaning outside the hospital."
"I was sent to Zhang Guiren's place..."
"I got to know Manager Yang through massage skills..."
"I have been transferred to Guanju Palace, and I will be on business in a few days..."
……
Since Fu Chen left last time, everyone has been working hard. Although the change is insignificant, maybe it's just changing from one palace to another, but it's really changing.
Fu Chen's face was pale, because he just got into a fight, and now he is even weaker. Looking at the package surrounded by everyone, he nodded.
He held out his hand, and the others didn't understand what it meant.
Only Ji Ke heard Fu Chen say that he silently folded his hands on the back of Fu Chen's hands, and the others followed suit, with more than a dozen hands layered on top of each other, transmitting warmth to each other. have each other.
After leaving the courtyard, Fu Chen walked towards the independent small courtyard where Liu Zong was.
"You're finally back, what's the matter, I think you need to lie down." Liang Chengwen saw that there was movement at the door, and saw that Fu Chen's expression was extremely bad, and he didn't look much better than Liu Zong on the bed.
"Yuan Liang judged that you need to go back to Tai Hospital immediately."
"What's the matter?" Even if something happened in the palace, they basically wouldn't use the court sentence.But although he has not known Fu Chen for a long time, he knows that this person will not just talk about it.
He suddenly saw the child following Fu Chen, "This..."
The matter of treating Liu Zong can't be seen for the time being, why did Fu Chen bring someone here.
Fu Chen touched the child's head, and the child also had a shy face, "His name is Ji Ke, you can trust him, we can't stay here later, he will take his place first, and I will replace him at night."
"Fu Chen..." Liu Zong's weak voice came from inside the room.
"Wake up!" The two exclaimed.
Walking quickly back into the house, Liu Zong really opened his eyes. Although he was still unable to move, his complexion was much better than during the day.
"Master Liu, I'm here." Fu Chen took his temperature, "The fever is gone."
"Huh?" Liu Zong raised his face, "You still call me Lord Liu?"
"Godfather." Getting along with each other bit by bit, from unfamiliar to familiar, and then to being sincere.
"En." Satisfied, Liu Zong stretched out his thin hand, Fu Chen hurriedly covered it, and Liu Zong held it back.
Fu Chen knew Liu Zong's concerns, and it would be better to keep things like godfather in private.
"In the future, you will call me like that when no one is around. Thanks to you this time, and you, Liang Yuanjuan, we..."
We don't know each other well, but Liu Zong is too embarrassed to say this.
"Liu Zong, don't worry about this matter. We know each other now. You're still your chief manager, and I'm still my court judge. But we can take care of things in the future. Don't be ambiguous." Liang Chengwen and Liu Zong knew each other, but they only knew each other before, and now the two of them are considered a fateful friendship, one handed over his life to Liang Chengwen, and the other was willing to risk big things to do things that have never happened in the past and present. It is strange that several doctors dare to perform the operation, and it is strange to just give it a nod like before.
"I promise, I will not shirk in the future if there is anything I can help." Liu Zong also has a neat temper.
Both of them kept a thin line in their hearts, not to mention whether they both had loyal masters, but this did not hinder their personal friendship, there must always be a few people in the palace who can be truly caring.
"Godfather, no matter what happens outside today, you have to be healthy and healthy. Don't get up. You saw it after you fell ill this time. If you know that you have hope of recovery, some people may be in a hurry. Don't rush out to resume your job, or we But I saved you back in vain." He was afraid that because of Liu Zong's obstinate temperament, he would return to his previous top-like rhythm when he felt better. You can only eat when you are empty, mainly soft rice or porridge, avoid greasy, spicy, and get out of bed after a few days."
Exhausting Xugong means to exhaust gas, that is, to fart, which means that the intestines and stomach are active again after they have stopped functioning.After the operation, the place where the operation was performed is prone to adhesion, and the more you walk, the better it will be.
"I'll save it, let them have fun for a while. This time I came out of the gate of hell, and I figured it out. Who knows if I will be alive in the next moment. You, Mr. Liu, don't care much now, just want to watch you guys The little one is getting better slowly." Liu Zong gently patted the well-behaved Ji Ke who didn't disturb them talking.
Ji Ke scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, he kept following what Fu Chen said to him: talk less and listen more, watch more and think more.
After talking about some precautions, the two let Ji Ke stay. Before Fu Chen left, Ji Ke suddenly said: "Brother Chen Zi, we... can all survive, right?"
Fu Chen nodded, Fu Chen spread his palms, "Yes."
This child who used to be like Yao Xiaoguang has transformed time and time again, becoming more sophisticated and patient.
Ji Ke laughed, and spread out his palms, making a high-five gesture in the air.
In fact, the answer is not important, the palace is unpredictable, no one can predict the next moment, he just wants a little peace of mind, and a little courage to support each other.
Fu Chen and Liang Chengwen left the door.
"What happened, let me know first." Liang Chengwen asked.
"Dog, make trouble." Fu Chen knew that he didn't need to say too much, Liang Chengwen could associate a lot with these few words.
For example, where is the dog in this palace?
Tribute?Envoy's?Or was it raised by Concubine Qi?
How could there be trouble?
Fuxi Palace.
When Fu Chen came over, Taiping and Taihe were still on duty outside the door just like when he first came.
"Taiping, I need to add something to my room, can you come with me?" Fu Chen asked with a gentle smile.
"Okay, Master Fu, I'll come right now." Tai Ping used to call Fu Chen "Little Fu Zi", but now he changed his words very smoothly.
The seniority in the palace is never based on age, but on the level of position. Taiping has been the spy of the Seventh Prince Shao Huachi for so long, but he has never penetrated into Fuxi Palace. Yes, I bring some food for Fu Chen from time to time. Fu Chen will pay attention to putting an extra pastry when he comes back late, which is obviously meant to please. Although everyone knows this way to please his superiors, it is common in ancient and modern times, eating people A soft mouth is always better.
Especially when Taiping later learned that Wang Fugui and Xiaoyang lived in the back hall of Fuxi Palace in the same courtyard as Fu Chen, and he took extra care of them. All kinds of performances showed Fu Chen that this person had the qualities of an excellent servant , It's a pity that Fuxi Palace is too well-prepared, and can't get anything useful at all, so it's useless.
Taihe on the side is an ordinary eunuch dispatched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At this time, it is not pleasant to see that Fu Chen is only relatively close to Taiping.
Obviously they knew Fu Chen at the same time, but Fu Chen's eyes were drawn to Tai Ping.
Although the other people in the courtyard rushed to run on Fu Chen, who didn't know that Fu Chen was now a celebrity in front of Concubine De, even Mo Hua and the other four court ladies had to stand aside.
Taihe looked at Taiping following Fu Chen idly, and couldn't help showing a hint of envy.
After Taiping found out, he raised his head even more.
When the two came to Fu Chen's room, Fu Chen raised his voice and said a few things, but passed a rolled up note through the candlestick in his hand, "Changing the wax for me."
Taiping touched something under the candlestick, and his expression turned serious.
Knowing that it was Fu Chen who had the news to the Seventh Prince, he was extremely excited. After he came to Fuxi Palace, he and the Seventh Prince were like a kite with a broken string. He hadn’t done anything for so many years. The news didn't spread much, and now, I finally have something to do!
The spies are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid that they will be useless to the master, and those who are useless will be lost forever.
He nodded, "Master Fu, don't worry, the little one will go right away!"
This was Taiping's first time doing serious business, and he was extra cautious.
Fu Chen watched Taiping leave before walking out of the house.
At this time, outside the main hall of Concubine De, surrounded by a few court ladies, they were very curious about what style of clothes the Shangyi Bureau sent, but the empress hadn't come out for a long time.
"Mo Hua, Mo Zhu, what's going on outside?" De Fei asked through the door when she heard the constant noise outside.
"I'll go and have a look, servant girl." Mo Hua responded, and now the concubine De concubine doesn't even allow them to change her clothes, Mo Hua and the others are also a little nervous in private.
For the maids, this is very fatal, not being favored by the master also means that the trust level will drop. The only good thing is that the concubine De did not completely ignore the maids because of favoring the eunuchs, and her daily life is still the same. People, they can only work harder to win Concubine De's attention.
When Mo Hua saw Fu Chen coming over, the sadness on his face was relieved, and he regained the demeanor of a court lady, "Are you finished from the house of internal affairs? I asked the dining room to keep your food. Remember to eat it later." .”
"Miss Xie Mohua, recently I was on a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I was given a hairpin by chance, and I don't need it. You can see if you can use it." Fu Chen replied with a smile, and took out a well-made hairpin, In fact, this hairpin was made by the Sixth Prince through the way of Concubine De, and several samples were sent to Concubine De's palace through Rong Zhaoyi. Fu Chen was the one who designed it, so Concubine De naturally gave these things to him.This is a family that specializes in supplying ordinary civilians and has some spare money. I heard from the sixth prince that the business is very good.
The sixth prince is exceptionally talented in business. After seeing several drawing papers for hairpins, he kept torturing Rong Zhaoyi and asked who the hairpin maker was. Concubine De, let's see if Concubine De is willing to tell him.
Mo Hua saw the simple pearls on the hairpin and the silk on the top of the hairpin. The hairpin needles are conical, and there is nothing fancy about them, but I just feel that they are extraordinarily elegant and simple. They are suitable for court ladies and will not be mistaken for empresses. The rewards, and it will not make people feel that the gift giving is insincere.Which girl doesn't like beautiful things, the palace maids have a lot of restrictions, most of the gifts from the empress can't be used, and the quota in the palace is really ugly, Fu Chen is sending things to her heart.The original refusal also turned a corner, and he was a little reluctant to put it down, "Then I will thank little Eunuch Fu."
Looking at Fu Chen's gaze, he became more kind.
"Young lady, you should be polite." There is no permanent enemy in this world. This is what I realized after I became the personnel director.
I met them several times when I was looking for cats and serving the concubine, plus Fu Chen told jokes to a few court ladies and eunuchs privately from time to time, and got closer to them without any trace. repel.
Of course, if he can have some good impressions, it will be good for him to walk around on weekdays.It's useless for him to be a big man, he might as well make the best use of everything.
"Thank you, by the way, you came from outside, do you know what's going on outside?" Mo Hua's tone was much gentler, besides, Concubine De was generally average to the people in the courtyard, and it wasn't too obvious that she was biased. , Mo Hua's prejudice against Fu Chen became less and less.
"Miss Mo Hua should be careful. I just passed by and saw the Imperial Forest Army coming. It's very chaotic outside."
"What! I got it, thanks." Mo Hua accepted.
The two chatted for a few words and then left.
Concubine De is trying on the next season's new clothes sent by the Shangyi Bureau. At this moment, someone comes in from outside the door to deliver food. It is the firewood replenisher in the inner dining room. , and occasionally help the dining room deliver food.
This person delivered the food quietly and left quietly, with only one sentence "My lady please use" during the whole process.
She responded, and after closing the room, she picked up the small bamboo chopsticks from the meal on the table, unscrewed the tip of the chopsticks, pulled out the note inside, and burned it directly on the candle after reading it.
"The nameless black dog is disturbing the palace. The queen may be in danger of miscarriage? Hehe, it's really troublesome. It seems that they are catching dogs just now? There are only a few places in this palace that can raise dogs. What about the nameless black dog in the palace? It will enter things without a name. Is this someone operating in private? I am delicate and weak, and I may be frightened if I go out now, but what should I do? Let's take a break before going to see the good show." She said Smiling, while covering the right lapel in the skirt of the shirt, fastened the belt, "Which one is better to wear later?"
This matter, who is behind this matter, can tell the truth.
She is not in a hurry, there can be such and such things in this palace every three days, and only when she is calm and calm can she be invincible.
She walked slowly to the table, on which were newly delivered clothes, fondly touching these clothes that highlighted the softness of Jiangnan women. Most of the clothes in the palace were more formal and orthodox. But the concubine felt, could it be that I am not a concubine De if I dress beautifully?
Just like what Fu Chen said, temperament depends not on clothes, but on herself.
The palace has strict regulations on the clothing fabrics of concubines. They are classified according to grades and cannot exceed the rules. It looks like, after all, the most important duty of concubines is to serve the emperor well, everything else is false, and concubines also have their own unique tricks under the system.
The new clothes she got, Fu Chen added several elements of Hanfu and Tangfu, combined with the characteristics of Jin Dynasty costumes to draw, the skirt flutters, graceful like a dragon, which makes people fascinated.
In terms of people and things, he does not make major changes, but only makes subtle changes in his surroundings within the scope of his ability.
When it comes to calligraphy and painting, modern people don't learn much. After losing their parents since childhood, after a long period of rebellion, he gradually learned to calm down, learn the ancient zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and recuperate.Maybe it's not bad in modern times, but in ancient times, where almost everyone could write and draw, and recite poems, his ability was not so outstanding. Of course, what Fu Chen wanted was not outstanding, as long as he had enough That's fine.
Concubine De looked at the bronze mirror, and thought of someone drawing these blueprints, and whispered in her ear, "Make it and wear it for me to see."
Couldn't help covering his face, and murmured softly: "This idiot has become a eunuch, why is he so out of tune, who wants to show him the clothes!"
"Your Majesty, the servant is back, can I come in?"
Someone's extremely familiar voice came from outside the door, as soon as he said someone, he arrived!
She coughed lightly and said softly, "Come in."
As soon as Fu Chen entered the room, he saw Concubine De wearing an improved water-green chest-length skirt with that elegant oval face, which made people's eyes shine, "Didn't you say you would never do it?"
"Oh, there is extra fabric, so I just made it."
Fu Chen put his arms around her slender waist and praised: "It's beautiful."
"Really?" She hid the joy in her heart and gave him a sideways glance.
This one glance froze, holding Fu Chen's face in his hands, "What's wrong with you, your face is so pale!"
"No problem." Fu Chen grabbed her hand and kissed her palm lightly, "Jun Ning, upgrade me to another level."
Only the eunuch in charge of the third rank can have the right to manage a courtyard in the prison courtyard, and Fu Chen is still a small step away from being the eunuch in charge of the third rank.
Mu Junning couldn't help shrinking her hands, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "No, it's too soon, at least after you are fifteen."
Whether she gave Fu Chen a promotion, or Fu Chen got it from the emperor, it all depends on him, it is a regular promotion, even if the speed is a bit fast, no one can criticize it.She has never seen Fu Chen ask her for anything so straightforwardly. It should be said that Fu Chen has always made her feel that he is a person who wants very little, "What happened to make you so eager?"
"I used to have another person from the courtyard." Fu Chen closed his eyes, covered the jade pendant on his chest with trembling hands, sat on the wooden chair, and said calmly.
Only he knows how many things are contained in such a plain sentence.
Seeing Fu Chen touching the protrusion on her chest, she curiously opened the front of her shirt, and suddenly found the jade pendant.
Isn't this the one time she casually rewarded him?He actually carried it with him!
Concubine De was a little moved by the indescribable taste.
"This is a common thing, you have to learn to get used to it." Mu Junning stood up and pressed his head on her chest, "You can't save everyone. In this palace, there is no need to be soft-hearted. The servants in the palace say a few thousand things at least. Can you control it? Since the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the eunuchs have not been promoted so fast. Although I have the right to give you a promotion, but think about the number of years you have been in the palace. Your age has never been a third rank. The eunuch is your age, Fu Chen, I want to keep you, don't let yourself stand on the cusp of the storm, the tree attracts the wind."
She gently stroked his hair, this man's hair is so soft, but his temper is so hard.
Fu Chen knew the truth of what she said, and this was also the reason why he had been rising step by step before.
He knew that today, his heart was disturbed.
Fu Chen listened to the noises outside, guessed the time, and it was almost the time when the guards were searching, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Do you have someone at the second prince's place?"
Concubine De let go of Fu Chen, "Why do you ask that?" She asked the second prince alone.
"You once gave me a booklet on the relationship between the various palaces." Fu Chen said that before he came to Fuxi Palace at that time, Concubine De specially asked Mo Hua to give him a map of the palace. The powerful relationship between the characters, being able to draw such a simple booklet, in itself represents the concubine's excellent network.
"What can you tell just from the brochure?" At that time, it was rare for her to meet someone who was so similar to the person in her heart when she was young, so she naturally put in more thought, but she didn't know that Fu Chen could analyze something from it.
"Do you still remember Muruida, when he persuaded me to come to you, if someone hadn't hinted at him, with his temperament, he would not have said such unintelligible words, but obviously, he It has something to do with you. It's just that his position is too low to be directly ordered by you, which means that there is another person between you and Murida as a bridge to convey your meaning, and from this person's position From the looks of it, Murida should be able to control more than one person in charge. If you want to draw such a booklet, one person's strength is not enough. Until I saw Liu Zong, I guessed that he was the middleman. So you let me go Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs simply asking me to do things? They are your people, and I have reason to infer that your people are not only placed in these few places. And judging from your attitude towards Liu Zong's sudden downfall, you are not Anxious, it means that you have already arranged for someone else to replace you, or have the same rights as Liu Zong. There are other ways out, so even if Liu Zong's life is not long, it may affect you, but not much. You can let me send him off so calmly."
"You are very smart, so smart that I feel that it is a pity to be a eunuch. How can you be a rootless person?" What's even more rare is that even if he sees all these tricks, this person can keep it in his heart , only when needed, this kind of endurance, at this age, if he lives in a few more years, what kind of monster will he be. "I heard Mo Hua say that you have been promoted to the third rank at your age, and there are a lot of gossip outside, even she heard some when she went out, but these people didn't see it. With your sobriety, you should be promoted."
She was relatively secretive in her work, and an ordinary eunuch might not think so much, nor would she consider the connection, but Fu Chen thought deeply and guessed accurately.
As for what Fu Chen asked, this was her hole card, and ever since Fu Chen agreed to be her male favorite and confinement, she never even thought for a day that she would have such a deep relationship with him, how did a plaything get on the table?How could he know so many secrets of hers?
If Fu Chen was someone else's spy, she would be doomed. At this time, she even had to scold his subordinates as a concubine, and she should even say: This is not what you should inquire about.
Concubine De contemplated for a long time in the room, then suddenly walked in front of Fu Chen, held his face in her hands, put her lips on the man's thin eyelids, and gently parted her lips, "Yes."
The second prince has me.
She gently caressed Fu Chen's thin lips. I heard that a man's thin lips represent thin luck. I hope you will live up to me.
Do you know, if your master is someone else, what will happen to me?Although only one spy was mentioned here, it was her attitude towards Fu Chen.
"Fu Chen, don't betray me." I was afraid that I would not be able to bear this betrayal.
I take the first step carefully, don't let me be doomed.
As for the spies in the Prince's Mansion, she did not install them on purpose, she was just a concubine, and the Prince represented the previous dynasty, so it had nothing to do with their harem, it could only be said to be a coincidence.
Since she entered the prince's mansion as a side concubine in her teens, she has slowly bought off the stewards everywhere, giving away people who are short of money, giving money to those who are short of money, giving affection to those who are lacking in affection, and helping to find relatives for those who are short of relatives. It infiltrated a small part of the inner courtyard of the harem, and there will be some exceptions, such as Liu Zong who suddenly fell ill, which means that her perennial dark lines have been destroyed.
And in this palace, there are quite a few people who want to install spies, but one is not as long as her, and two is not as secretive as her. They are either discovered or eliminated by other spies.
She doesn't feel sorry for these spies. If she wants to get them, she always has to pay more than she imagined.
"I didn't expect you to really have it!" Was it the prince's mansion, or was it that she left the mansion after being named the county queen, and she even arranged for this?
"What if I don't?"
"No, I can only think of other ways, but it's easier now."
"You and the second prince are not related, why do you...?" Mu Junning did not look down on Fu Chen. What this person does is often unexpected.
"One is, that kind of person, being the emperor is the tragedy of the Jin Dynasty." A licentious, cruel and insidious monarch even has an affair with his concubine. Such a scum, after becoming the emperor, his life will be ruined, and the country's sorrow is personal. Sad, he is not that great, he just wants to live a good life for himself, and the people he cares about can also live, it's just that simple.
If you have a home, why don't you keep it?
"What about two?"
"The second is to let you become the empress dowager. At that time, wouldn't I be the chief executive?" Fu Chen half-truthfully said.
"Are you serious!?" During the lunch break last time, Fu Chen's words are still vivid in his memory.
"I never joke on business."
"You want to promote Lin'er to the stage? But he is the next national teacher..." No matter how smart Mu Junning is, he is only from the backyard, and his vision is limited to this square inch.She only treated the third prince as a mother, obviously she didn't know Shao Anlin well enough.
"Jun Ning, it's too early to talk about this. It's not easy to bring down the queen, but we're not the only ones who think this way. What we have to do now is to wait for the opportunity and see what happens."
"I see." Mu Junning was not stupid, on the contrary, she thought more than Fu Chen.If the power of the second prince can be weakened, one of the queen's sons can be a daughter-in-law, and one son is sent as a proton, her prestige in the harem will be greatly weakened, and her position in the emperor's heart will also be affected.

"Even small people can cause trouble for them, don't you think so?" Fu Chen said softly to the package, the corners of his eyes were moist. Since his wife and children left one after another, he thought he had nothing to lose. No more mood swings.Only in this life can I know that as long as I have experienced it, there is nothing that can stay out of it and remain indifferent.
This is the worst point, there are eunuchs walking around in each individual small courtyard, most of them came back from the dining hall, and they are busy.Everywhere is full of chatter, gags, and fights. The prison yard is not as depressing as outsiders think. Just because it is a teapot without a mouth, I know that I am not compared with ordinary people. Except for some people who have lost their temper, most of them are more than usual. People’s psychological endurance is much higher, and their endurance is even more extraordinary. As long as they survive, no matter which master they serve and are punished, or are taught by the eunuch in charge, they will be able to entertain themselves and continue to do things after a while .There are also those in the courtyard like Fu Chen, who swear a few words, but they can't spread them, but they can relieve their anger.
Fu Chen came to the yard, some of them were wiping themselves, and some were holding a wooden basin, on which were folded clothes from the inside out, including outer robes, shawls, short brown, etc. All these had to be done before the eunuch in charge came. After washing, because this is a bad rule, you will be punished if you see it.It is strange to say that there is no place for eunuchs to wash clothes. If we talk about the Laundry Bureau, it provides services for the masters of the palace.In the dynasties before the Jin Dynasty, eunuchs didn't even have a bathing place. For example, in the Han Dynasty, the chief eunuch opened a bathhouse on the long street outside the imperial capital.So there are always people who comfort themselves and say that the Jin Dynasty is the best dynasty for slaves, and it is fortunate that they were born in this dynasty.Since the Jin Dynasty, there has been a mixed hall division, which is one of the four divisions. Even so, many young eunuchs do not go there.Some of the servants are old, experienced, and have high positions, so they need the eunuchs to serve them, and the attitude of serving the master is the same for them.The same is true for washing clothes. Usually, eunuchs without grades have to wash all the clothes when they come to the clerk, which will delay the rest, so the young eunuchs would rather take the risk of being punished and finish these things quickly in their own courtyard.
Those who brushed each other saw Fu Chen and greeted him with their shirts off. Anyway, everyone is a eunuch, and I don't have anything you don't have.This is also the reason why some young eunuchs are reluctant to go to the office. If some beautiful young eunuchs enter there, they may be targeted by evil older eunuchs.
Most of the old people in the courtyard were old people they knew, seeing Fu Chen greeted happily, "Could it be that you are not used to eating in Fuxi Palace, you kid, you've been coming here for a meal these days!"
"Chenzi, why is your complexion so bad, you seem to be drifting when you walk!" A person noticed that Fu Chen was not in the right state, and looked very weak.
"Haha, Chenzi is just a person who can't enjoy the blessings, and is suitable for raising rough." The sky darkened, and the others didn't realize that Fu Chen was wrong, they just thought he didn't eat well.
"Chenzi, come when you are waiting, I just got some chestnut cakes, come quickly!" Dongzi secretly took out a pastry bag from his sleeve.
"You bastard, hide your secrets! Don't you know the rules in our yard? If you have food to share, you only take it out when Chenzi comes. Before that, you were going to eat it yourself. You owe me a beating!" Zhao Zhuo slapped Dongzi At the back of his head, Dongzi covered her head and smiled.
Although Fu Chen's rank is much higher than the people here, the people in the courtyard still treat him the same as before.
Looking at the smiling faces, Fu Chen felt sore and swollen, as if his heart had been stabbed through.Maybe everyone is like this, if you can survive alone, when you see someone you are familiar with, you will lose control of your emotions at that moment.
He took a deep breath, raised his leg and kicked the courtyard door shut, blocking the outside world.
"What's the matter with you? What are you holding?" Zhao Zhuo heard that Fu Chen was coming, and walked out of the house. Since Wang Fugui left, Zhao Zhuo took care of all the big and small things in the courtyard, and Yang Sanma followed him. walked out.
Seeing that something was wrong with Fu Chen's appearance, everyone stopped what they were doing and surrounded him.
"Xiao Guang... is gone." Fu Chen could hardly speak these words out of self-loathing.
"You...what are you talking about, which courtyard took him away?" Zhao Zhuo blinked fiercely, holding back the tears that were about to burst out, and forced a smile.It's not that I don't understand, I just don't want to understand.
"I can only get these." Fu Chen lowered his head in disgust, he resented himself, and slowly handed over the package.
A group of people froze in place, and no one came to pick them up.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen by ice, it was obviously summer, but it was shivering with cold.
"That little bastard, Guangzi, is alive and kicking, and he's still smiling at us this morning..." Dongzi suddenly stopped talking, because everyone remembered the weird scene in the morning.
Yao Xiaoguang woke up very early today, and was very clingy, he insisted on hugging each of them, and said a lot of inexplicable things.
The child said most often, "It is the happiest thing in my life to be able to come to this courtyard."
Zhao Zhuo trembled and found that Fu Chen's hand was as cold as a corpse.
Opening the package, only one corner was lifted, revealing the broken organs and residual arms inside. No one felt disgusted or scared.
He slowly closed it, and after a while, as if he had accepted the fact, the tears that had accumulated in Zhao Zhuo's eyes welled up.
Ji Ke rushed forward to wipe away the tears, "Brother Zhuo, we can't cry."
Eunuchs and maids, if there is nothing to cry, they will be punished.
Even so, Ji Ke has tears streaming down his face. He has a good relationship with Yao Xiaoguang. Because they are similar in age, they often hug each other. It is also the little bit about Fu Chen that he and Yao Xiaoguang talked about the most.
"Everyone, don't...cry."
"Woo, woo!"
Some people nodded their heads, covering their mouths and desperately holding back tears, while some squatted on the ground and wiped their faces with their sleeves.
After handing the package to Ji Ke who was out of breath from crying, Zhao Zhuo was about to rush out, but Fu Chen rushed him to the hospital door, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to kill them! They don't, get, okay, die!"
As soon as Zhao Zhuo said this, the others wiped away their tears and wanted to rush out.
"No one is allowed to go, no one is allowed to go!" Fu Chen growled.
Zhao Zhuo is very strong. He is the head of the eunuchs. Although he has no rank, he is the same as Wang Fugui. He has a group of eunuchs under his command. The eunuchs in charge usually give them orders. Fu Chen couldn't hold back.
"Calm down!" When Zhao Zhuo rushed to hit Fu Chen, Fu Chen didn't hide, raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
I don't know if I said this to them, or to Fu Chen himself.
"If you stop again, I'll beat you up too!" Zhao Zhuo was beaten to the side of his head, he covered his face and growled.
"Come on! I won't let any of you out today!" Fu Chen said the same.
Anyone who knows Fu Chen knows that he is a person whose reason is much higher than emotion, and if he is not extremely sad, he will definitely not be able to use violence to solve it.
The two of you punched each other, but no one stopped them, because the expressions of these two people were too painful and remorseful.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't let him be a spy!" Zhao Zhuo shouted, hitting Fu Chen in the chest.
"If it wasn't because of my carelessness, I should have found out that something was wrong with him." Fu Chen also punched him.
They are just venting this pain in this way.
Until Zhao Zhuo beat Fu Chen to the ground, Ji Ke rushed up and blocked his attack, "Brother Zhuo, if you hit Brother Chen Zi again, just step on me."
"Step aside!"
Ji Ke shook his head and did not move a step, "This morning, Xiaoguang told me that his life is not good. The family has already sent three boys into the palace. The first two are dead, and one is not even cleanse." After getting through it, he is the weakest in body. He didn’t expect to get through it in the end, and he can still eat in the prison yard, sleep with everyone, chat, drink and eat snacks. He has never been so happy. He said he... He is happy at any time, he wants everyone to smile when they think of him, because we have suffered too much, so we have to laugh often!"
Ji Ke wiped away his tears fiercely, and curled the corners of his mouth in a daze, "Laugh, everyone should laugh, he left for all of us, we have to send him off with a smile!!"
"Ah—" Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo stood there for a long time, wiped away the blur in front of his eyes, and forced a smile.
Others were crying and laughing.
The ups and downs of this moment are deeply burned in everyone's heart.
This is the only place in the palace where Fu Chen can feel a little at ease. Maybe the eunuchs here also have their own ideas, but they are much more united than most of the courtyards. the hospital.
Fu Chen sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and lowered his head to make it hard to see his expression.
"Chenzi, don't blame yourself, you've done a good job." Yang Sanma hugged Fu Chen, "Look at you, now you're at the third rank, and I'm at the fourth rank. We'll all be fine, we'll all be fine..."
"Only power can allow us to keep more people."
"Yes, we can't let him go for nothing like this!" A group of people crawled to Fu Chen's side, they were crying weakly, and sat on the ground like Fu Chen.
"I have already been ordered to go to Changning Palace for cleaning outside the hospital."
"I was sent to Zhang Guiren's place..."
"I got to know Manager Yang through massage skills..."
"I have been transferred to Guanju Palace, and I will be on business in a few days..."
……
Since Fu Chen left last time, everyone has been working hard. Although the change is insignificant, maybe it's just changing from one palace to another, but it's really changing.
Fu Chen's face was pale, because he just got into a fight, and now he is even weaker. Looking at the package surrounded by everyone, he nodded.
He held out his hand, and the others didn't understand what it meant.
Only Ji Ke heard Fu Chen say that he silently folded his hands on the back of Fu Chen's hands, and the others followed suit, with more than a dozen hands layered on top of each other, transmitting warmth to each other. have each other.
After leaving the courtyard, Fu Chen walked towards the independent small courtyard where Liu Zong was.
"You're finally back, what's the matter, I think you need to lie down." Liang Chengwen saw that there was movement at the door, and saw that Fu Chen's expression was extremely bad, and he didn't look much better than Liu Zong on the bed.
"Yuan Liang judged that you need to go back to Tai Hospital immediately."
"What's the matter?" Even if something happened in the palace, they basically wouldn't use the court sentence.But although he has not known Fu Chen for a long time, he knows that this person will not just talk about it.
He suddenly saw the child following Fu Chen, "This..."
The matter of treating Liu Zong can't be seen for the time being, why did Fu Chen bring someone here.
Fu Chen touched the child's head, and the child also had a shy face, "His name is Ji Ke, you can trust him, we can't stay here later, he will take his place first, and I will replace him at night."
"Fu Chen..." Liu Zong's weak voice came from inside the room.
"Wake up!" The two exclaimed.
Walking quickly back into the house, Liu Zong really opened his eyes. Although he was still unable to move, his complexion was much better than during the day.
"Master Liu, I'm here." Fu Chen took his temperature, "The fever is gone."
"Huh?" Liu Zong raised his face, "You still call me Lord Liu?"
"Godfather." Getting along with each other bit by bit, from unfamiliar to familiar, and then to being sincere.
"En." Satisfied, Liu Zong stretched out his thin hand, Fu Chen hurriedly covered it, and Liu Zong held it back.
Fu Chen knew Liu Zong's concerns, and it would be better to keep things like godfather in private.
"In the future, you will call me like that when no one is around. Thanks to you this time, and you, Liang Yuanjuan, we..."
We don't know each other well, but Liu Zong is too embarrassed to say this.
"Liu Zong, don't worry about this matter. We know each other now. You're still your chief manager, and I'm still my court judge. But we can take care of things in the future. Don't be ambiguous." Liang Chengwen and Liu Zong knew each other, but they only knew each other before, and now the two of them are considered a fateful friendship, one handed over his life to Liang Chengwen, and the other was willing to risk big things to do things that have never happened in the past and present. It is strange that several doctors dare to perform the operation, and it is strange to just give it a nod like before.
"I promise, I will not shirk in the future if there is anything I can help." Liu Zong also has a neat temper.
Both of them kept a thin line in their hearts, not to mention whether they both had loyal masters, but this did not hinder their personal friendship, there must always be a few people in the palace who can be truly caring.
"Godfather, no matter what happens outside today, you have to be healthy and healthy. Don't get up. You saw it after you fell ill this time. If you know that you have hope of recovery, some people may be in a hurry. Don't rush out to resume your job, or we But I saved you back in vain." He was afraid that because of Liu Zong's obstinate temperament, he would return to his previous top-like rhythm when he felt better. You can only eat when you are empty, mainly soft rice or porridge, avoid greasy, spicy, and get out of bed after a few days."
Exhausting Xugong means to exhaust gas, that is, to fart, which means that the intestines and stomach are active again after they have stopped functioning.After the operation, the place where the operation was performed is prone to adhesion, and the more you walk, the better it will be.
"I'll save it, let them have fun for a while. This time I came out of the gate of hell, and I figured it out. Who knows if I will be alive in the next moment. You, Mr. Liu, don't care much now, just want to watch you guys The little one is getting better slowly." Liu Zong gently patted the well-behaved Ji Ke who didn't disturb them talking.
Ji Ke scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, he kept following what Fu Chen said to him: talk less and listen more, watch more and think more.
After talking about some precautions, the two let Ji Ke stay. Before Fu Chen left, Ji Ke suddenly said: "Brother Chen Zi, we... can all survive, right?"
Fu Chen nodded, Fu Chen spread his palms, "Yes."
This child who used to be like Yao Xiaoguang has transformed time and time again, becoming more sophisticated and patient.
Ji Ke laughed, and spread out his palms, making a high-five gesture in the air.
In fact, the answer is not important, the palace is unpredictable, no one can predict the next moment, he just wants a little peace of mind, and a little courage to support each other.
Fu Chen and Liang Chengwen left the door.
"What happened, let me know first." Liang Chengwen asked.
"Dog, make trouble." Fu Chen knew that he didn't need to say too much, Liang Chengwen could associate a lot with these few words.
For example, where is the dog in this palace?
Tribute?Envoy's?Or was it raised by Concubine Qi?
How could there be trouble?
Fuxi Palace.
When Fu Chen came over, Taiping and Taihe were still on duty outside the door just like when he first came.
"Taiping, I need to add something to my room, can you come with me?" Fu Chen asked with a gentle smile.
"Okay, Master Fu, I'll come right now." Tai Ping used to call Fu Chen "Little Fu Zi", but now he changed his words very smoothly.
The seniority in the palace is never based on age, but on the level of position. Taiping has been the spy of the Seventh Prince Shao Huachi for so long, but he has never penetrated into Fuxi Palace. Yes, I bring some food for Fu Chen from time to time. Fu Chen will pay attention to putting an extra pastry when he comes back late, which is obviously meant to please. Although everyone knows this way to please his superiors, it is common in ancient and modern times, eating people A soft mouth is always better.
Especially when Taiping later learned that Wang Fugui and Xiaoyang lived in the back hall of Fuxi Palace in the same courtyard as Fu Chen, and he took extra care of them. All kinds of performances showed Fu Chen that this person had the qualities of an excellent servant , It's a pity that Fuxi Palace is too well-prepared, and can't get anything useful at all, so it's useless.
Taihe on the side is an ordinary eunuch dispatched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At this time, it is not pleasant to see that Fu Chen is only relatively close to Taiping.
Obviously they knew Fu Chen at the same time, but Fu Chen's eyes were drawn to Tai Ping.
Although the other people in the courtyard rushed to run on Fu Chen, who didn't know that Fu Chen was now a celebrity in front of Concubine De, even Mo Hua and the other four court ladies had to stand aside.
Taihe looked at Taiping following Fu Chen idly, and couldn't help showing a hint of envy.
After Taiping found out, he raised his head even more.
When the two came to Fu Chen's room, Fu Chen raised his voice and said a few things, but passed a rolled up note through the candlestick in his hand, "Changing the wax for me."
Taiping touched something under the candlestick, and his expression turned serious.
Knowing that it was Fu Chen who had the news to the Seventh Prince, he was extremely excited. After he came to Fuxi Palace, he and the Seventh Prince were like a kite with a broken string. He hadn’t done anything for so many years. The news didn't spread much, and now, I finally have something to do!
The spies are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid that they will be useless to the master, and those who are useless will be lost forever.
He nodded, "Master Fu, don't worry, the little one will go right away!"
This was Taiping's first time doing serious business, and he was extra cautious.
Fu Chen watched Taiping leave before walking out of the house.
At this time, outside the main hall of Concubine De, surrounded by a few court ladies, they were very curious about what style of clothes the Shangyi Bureau sent, but the empress hadn't come out for a long time.
"Mo Hua, Mo Zhu, what's going on outside?" De Fei asked through the door when she heard the constant noise outside.
"I'll go and have a look, servant girl." Mo Hua responded, and now the concubine De concubine doesn't even allow them to change her clothes, Mo Hua and the others are also a little nervous in private.
For the maids, this is very fatal, not being favored by the master also means that the trust level will drop. The only good thing is that the concubine De did not completely ignore the maids because of favoring the eunuchs, and her daily life is still the same. People, they can only work harder to win Concubine De's attention.
When Mo Hua saw Fu Chen coming over, the sadness on his face was relieved, and he regained the demeanor of a court lady, "Are you finished from the house of internal affairs? I asked the dining room to keep your food. Remember to eat it later." .”
"Miss Xie Mohua, recently I was on a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I was given a hairpin by chance, and I don't need it. You can see if you can use it." Fu Chen replied with a smile, and took out a well-made hairpin, In fact, this hairpin was made by the Sixth Prince through the way of Concubine De, and several samples were sent to Concubine De's palace through Rong Zhaoyi. Fu Chen was the one who designed it, so Concubine De naturally gave these things to him.This is a family that specializes in supplying ordinary civilians and has some spare money. I heard from the sixth prince that the business is very good.
The sixth prince is exceptionally talented in business. After seeing several drawing papers for hairpins, he kept torturing Rong Zhaoyi and asked who the hairpin maker was. Concubine De, let's see if Concubine De is willing to tell him.
Mo Hua saw the simple pearls on the hairpin and the silk on the top of the hairpin. The hairpin needles are conical, and there is nothing fancy about them, but I just feel that they are extraordinarily elegant and simple. They are suitable for court ladies and will not be mistaken for empresses. The rewards, and it will not make people feel that the gift giving is insincere.Which girl doesn't like beautiful things, the palace maids have a lot of restrictions, most of the gifts from the empress can't be used, and the quota in the palace is really ugly, Fu Chen is sending things to her heart.The original refusal also turned a corner, and he was a little reluctant to put it down, "Then I will thank little Eunuch Fu."
Looking at Fu Chen's gaze, he became more kind.
"Young lady, you should be polite." There is no permanent enemy in this world. This is what I realized after I became the personnel director.
I met them several times when I was looking for cats and serving the concubine, plus Fu Chen told jokes to a few court ladies and eunuchs privately from time to time, and got closer to them without any trace. repel.
Of course, if he can have some good impressions, it will be good for him to walk around on weekdays.It's useless for him to be a big man, he might as well make the best use of everything.
"Thank you, by the way, you came from outside, do you know what's going on outside?" Mo Hua's tone was much gentler, besides, Concubine De was generally average to the people in the courtyard, and it wasn't too obvious that she was biased. , Mo Hua's prejudice against Fu Chen became less and less.
"Miss Mo Hua should be careful. I just passed by and saw the Imperial Forest Army coming. It's very chaotic outside."
"What! I got it, thanks." Mo Hua accepted.
The two chatted for a few words and then left.
Concubine De is trying on the next season's new clothes sent by the Shangyi Bureau. At this moment, someone comes in from outside the door to deliver food. It is the firewood replenisher in the inner dining room. , and occasionally help the dining room deliver food.
This person delivered the food quietly and left quietly, with only one sentence "My lady please use" during the whole process.
She responded, and after closing the room, she picked up the small bamboo chopsticks from the meal on the table, unscrewed the tip of the chopsticks, pulled out the note inside, and burned it directly on the candle after reading it.
"The nameless black dog is disturbing the palace. The queen may be in danger of miscarriage? Hehe, it's really troublesome. It seems that they are catching dogs just now? There are only a few places in this palace that can raise dogs. What about the nameless black dog in the palace? It will enter things without a name. Is this someone operating in private? I am delicate and weak, and I may be frightened if I go out now, but what should I do? Let's take a break before going to see the good show." She said Smiling, while covering the right lapel in the skirt of the shirt, fastened the belt, "Which one is better to wear later?"
This matter, who is behind this matter, can tell the truth.
She is not in a hurry, there can be such and such things in this palace every three days, and only when she is calm and calm can she be invincible.
She walked slowly to the table, on which were newly delivered clothes, fondly touching these clothes that highlighted the softness of Jiangnan women. Most of the clothes in the palace were more formal and orthodox. But the concubine felt, could it be that I am not a concubine De if I dress beautifully?
Just like what Fu Chen said, temperament depends not on clothes, but on herself.
The palace has strict regulations on the clothing fabrics of concubines. They are classified according to grades and cannot exceed the rules. It looks like, after all, the most important duty of concubines is to serve the emperor well, everything else is false, and concubines also have their own unique tricks under the system.
The new clothes she got, Fu Chen added several elements of Hanfu and Tangfu, combined with the characteristics of Jin Dynasty costumes to draw, the skirt flutters, graceful like a dragon, which makes people fascinated.
In terms of people and things, he does not make major changes, but only makes subtle changes in his surroundings within the scope of his ability.
When it comes to calligraphy and painting, modern people don't learn much. After losing their parents since childhood, after a long period of rebellion, he gradually learned to calm down, learn the ancient zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and recuperate.Maybe it's not bad in modern times, but in ancient times, where almost everyone could write and draw, and recite poems, his ability was not so outstanding. Of course, what Fu Chen wanted was not outstanding, as long as he had enough That's fine.
Concubine De looked at the bronze mirror, and thought of someone drawing these blueprints, and whispered in her ear, "Make it and wear it for me to see."
Couldn't help covering his face, and murmured softly: "This idiot has become a eunuch, why is he so out of tune, who wants to show him the clothes!"
"Your Majesty, the servant is back, can I come in?"
Someone's extremely familiar voice came from outside the door, as soon as he said someone, he arrived!
She coughed lightly and said softly, "Come in."
As soon as Fu Chen entered the room, he saw Concubine De wearing an improved water-green chest-length skirt with that elegant oval face, which made people's eyes shine, "Didn't you say you would never do it?"
"Oh, there is extra fabric, so I just made it."
Fu Chen put his arms around her slender waist and praised: "It's beautiful."
"Really?" She hid the joy in her heart and gave him a sideways glance.
This one glance froze, holding Fu Chen's face in his hands, "What's wrong with you, your face is so pale!"
"No problem." Fu Chen grabbed her hand and kissed her palm lightly, "Jun Ning, upgrade me to another level."
Only the eunuch in charge of the third rank can have the right to manage a courtyard in the prison courtyard, and Fu Chen is still a small step away from being the eunuch in charge of the third rank.
Mu Junning couldn't help shrinking her hands, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "No, it's too soon, at least after you are fifteen."
Whether she gave Fu Chen a promotion, or Fu Chen got it from the emperor, it all depends on him, it is a regular promotion, even if the speed is a bit fast, no one can criticize it.She has never seen Fu Chen ask her for anything so straightforwardly. It should be said that Fu Chen has always made her feel that he is a person who wants very little, "What happened to make you so eager?"
"I used to have another person from the courtyard." Fu Chen closed his eyes, covered the jade pendant on his chest with trembling hands, sat on the wooden chair, and said calmly.
Only he knows how many things are contained in such a plain sentence.
Seeing Fu Chen touching the protrusion on her chest, she curiously opened the front of her shirt, and suddenly found the jade pendant.
Isn't this the one time she casually rewarded him?He actually carried it with him!
Concubine De was a little moved by the indescribable taste.
"This is a common thing, you have to learn to get used to it." Mu Junning stood up and pressed his head on her chest, "You can't save everyone. In this palace, there is no need to be soft-hearted. The servants in the palace say a few thousand things at least. Can you control it? Since the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the eunuchs have not been promoted so fast. Although I have the right to give you a promotion, but think about the number of years you have been in the palace. Your age has never been a third rank. The eunuch is your age, Fu Chen, I want to keep you, don't let yourself stand on the cusp of the storm, the tree attracts the wind."
She gently stroked his hair, this man's hair is so soft, but his temper is so hard.
Fu Chen knew the truth of what she said, and this was also the reason why he had been rising step by step before.
He knew that today, his heart was disturbed.
Fu Chen listened to the noises outside, guessed the time, and it was almost the time when the guards were searching, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Do you have someone at the second prince's place?"
Concubine De let go of Fu Chen, "Why do you ask that?" She asked the second prince alone.
"You once gave me a booklet on the relationship between the various palaces." Fu Chen said that before he came to Fuxi Palace at that time, Concubine De specially asked Mo Hua to give him a map of the palace. The powerful relationship between the characters, being able to draw such a simple booklet, in itself represents the concubine's excellent network.
"What can you tell just from the brochure?" At that time, it was rare for her to meet someone who was so similar to the person in her heart when she was young, so she naturally put in more thought, but she didn't know that Fu Chen could analyze something from it.
"Do you still remember Muruida, when he persuaded me to come to you, if someone hadn't hinted at him, with his temperament, he would not have said such unintelligible words, but obviously, he It has something to do with you. It's just that his position is too low to be directly ordered by you, which means that there is another person between you and Murida as a bridge to convey your meaning, and from this person's position From the looks of it, Murida should be able to control more than one person in charge. If you want to draw such a booklet, one person's strength is not enough. Until I saw Liu Zong, I guessed that he was the middleman. So you let me go Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs simply asking me to do things? They are your people, and I have reason to infer that your people are not only placed in these few places. And judging from your attitude towards Liu Zong's sudden downfall, you are not Anxious, it means that you have already arranged for someone else to replace you, or have the same rights as Liu Zong. There are other ways out, so even if Liu Zong's life is not long, it may affect you, but not much. You can let me send him off so calmly."
"You are very smart, so smart that I feel that it is a pity to be a eunuch. How can you be a rootless person?" What's even more rare is that even if he sees all these tricks, this person can keep it in his heart , only when needed, this kind of endurance, at this age, if he lives in a few more years, what kind of monster will he be. "I heard Mo Hua say that you have been promoted to the third rank at your age, and there are a lot of gossip outside, even she heard some when she went out, but these people didn't see it. With your sobriety, you should be promoted."
She was relatively secretive in her work, and an ordinary eunuch might not think so much, nor would she consider the connection, but Fu Chen thought deeply and guessed accurately.
As for what Fu Chen asked, this was her hole card, and ever since Fu Chen agreed to be her male favorite and confinement, she never even thought for a day that she would have such a deep relationship with him, how did a plaything get on the table?How could he know so many secrets of hers?
If Fu Chen was someone else's spy, she would be doomed. At this time, she even had to scold his subordinates as a concubine, and she should even say: This is not what you should inquire about.
Concubine De contemplated for a long time in the room, then suddenly walked in front of Fu Chen, held his face in her hands, put her lips on the man's thin eyelids, and gently parted her lips, "Yes."
The second prince has me.
She gently caressed Fu Chen's thin lips. I heard that a man's thin lips represent thin luck. I hope you will live up to me.
Do you know, if your master is someone else, what will happen to me?Although only one spy was mentioned here, it was her attitude towards Fu Chen.
"Fu Chen, don't betray me." I was afraid that I would not be able to bear this betrayal.
I take the first step carefully, don't let me be doomed.
As for the spies in the Prince's Mansion, she did not install them on purpose, she was just a concubine, and the Prince represented the previous dynasty, so it had nothing to do with their harem, it could only be said to be a coincidence.
Since she entered the prince's mansion as a side concubine in her teens, she has slowly bought off the stewards everywhere, giving away people who are short of money, giving money to those who are short of money, giving affection to those who are lacking in affection, and helping to find relatives for those who are short of relatives. It infiltrated a small part of the inner courtyard of the harem, and there will be some exceptions, such as Liu Zong who suddenly fell ill, which means that her perennial dark lines have been destroyed.
And in this palace, there are quite a few people who want to install spies, but one is not as long as her, and two is not as secretive as her. They are either discovered or eliminated by other spies.
She doesn't feel sorry for these spies. If she wants to get them, she always has to pay more than she imagined.
"I didn't expect you to really have it!" Was it the prince's mansion, or was it that she left the mansion after being named the county queen, and she even arranged for this?
"What if I don't?"
"No, I can only think of other ways, but it's easier now."
"You and the second prince are not related, why do you...?" Mu Junning did not look down on Fu Chen. What this person does is often unexpected.
"One is, that kind of person, being the emperor is the tragedy of the Jin Dynasty." A licentious, cruel and insidious monarch even has an affair with his concubine. Such a scum, after becoming the emperor, his life will be ruined, and the country's sorrow is personal. Sad, he is not that great, he just wants to live a good life for himself, and the people he cares about can also live, it's just that simple.
If you have a home, why don't you keep it?
"What about two?"
"The second is to let you become the empress dowager. At that time, wouldn't I be the chief executive?" Fu Chen half-truthfully said.
"Are you serious!?" During the lunch break last time, Fu Chen's words are still vivid in his memory.
"I never joke on business."
"You want to promote Lin'er to the stage? But he is the next national teacher..." No matter how smart Mu Junning is, he is only from the backyard, and his vision is limited to this square inch.She only treated the third prince as a mother, obviously she didn't know Shao Anlin well enough.
"Jun Ning, it's too early to talk about this. It's not easy to bring down the queen, but we're not the only ones who think this way. What we have to do now is to wait for the opportunity and see what happens."
"I see." Mu Junning was not stupid, on the contrary, she thought more than Fu Chen.If the power of the second prince can be weakened, one of the queen's sons can be a daughter-in-law, and one son is sent as a proton, her prestige in the harem will be greatly weakened, and her position in the emperor's heart will also be affected.
