Eunuch's professionalism

The state banquet is first held in Zhengde Hall, and then goes to Dianjiang Terrace.

When it comes to the state banquet, it is a big event in the court of the Jin Dynasty. As early as a month ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Xizhi Mansion jointly trained at least [-] eunuchs and maids. Special personnel are responsible for guiding gestures, movements, and speech. They don't even need to be on business during the month, the only thing they need to do is not make any mistakes during the day.Before approaching the Zhengde Palace, you can see that the clothes of these eunuchs and maids are custom-made, and they are the latest models from the Shangyi Bureau recently. They are all made of excellent fabrics from head to boots.From the perspective of the cost of food and clothing, who can say that the Jin Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, and we will bow down to it.

So when the envoys of the two countries and the people of the Panle tribe arrived at Zhengde Hall, even if they forced themselves to hold it, they still acted a little cautiously. Their country does not have such a long history and culture. This culture is not just poetry and songs. , It can even be extended to clothing, etiquette, food and so on.

I don't know if I don't know, and I can deeply feel this gap after comparing them. They are like a group of ancient people who have never seen the world, and they are full of poverty.

"Your Majesty, be careful where you step. The place six feet ahead is a bit slippery. A eunuch spilled wine and hasn't cleaned it up just now." Fu Chen reminded softly. He only raised his head a few times along the way. It was always necessary to be a competent person. Slaves, on weekdays, you can't look around, let alone look directly at them rudely, but you must always pay attention to the needs of your masters. Many slaves can't grasp the accuracy, and naturally there will be differences in positions and degrees of favor. The eunuchs in the rear seemed to understand why Fu Chen could stand out among the many young eunuchs who crossed the river. His carefulness and observation skills alone were enough to imitate.

Mu Junning hummed, she treated Fu Chen like an ordinary servant outside, this was the tacit understanding between the two of them.She entered the Zhengde Hall calmly and gracefully, and arrived at just the right time. At this time, the emperor and empress dowager hadn't arrived yet. If it was too early, she would appear unsteady, and if it was too late, when the master of the harem arrived, she would be suspected of despising the emperor.

Several people from Fu Chen's former courtyard were also there, they were assigned different tasks, even if they saw Fu Chen, they didn't look sideways, they all learned the rules.

The Zhengde Hall is very long, with the carpet in the middle as the line, and the meal tables are neatly arranged on both sides, and the order of seating is also stipulated.

Before the state banquet begins, several dining rooms will work hard and cooperate with each other, so this banquet is known as the first royal meal in heaven. Usually, there is such a battle only during the Chinese New Year.The banquet is small, and the main reason for making this meal so ostentatious is to show the envoys of other countries the aura of a big country and deter them.

Their positions were arranged neither forward nor backward, with the Right Counselor of Jisang Kingdom at the back, and the Panle tribe at the next table.

Shao Huachi was sitting with several princes. What was different from before was that ever since he gained the favor of the emperor and the power of the Panle clan, the princes who had never spoken to him began to greet him warmly and asked the same questions. What happened to Shao Huachi's shoulder injury, and what was missing in the Chonghua Palace? On the contrary, the Ninth Prince didn't join him, and just raised his glass to signal.

Fu Chen just glanced at it naturally, and waited by Concubine Jin's side.

From the perspective of position only, Concubine Jin is even higher than Concubine Lan, who has recently been on a counterattack trend. The emperor seems to have forgotten that she was demoted, and arranged according to the former concubine De, making it hard to figure out where the emperor is. Thinking of something, Lan Fei's face became a little stiff nearby.It can also be seen from this ranking that the emperor deliberately did not pay special attention to the two small countries and one tribe, but instead let the important officials and concubines sit in the front, while the envoys sat in the back.

Such an approach is also a disguised form of beating, and the political means are still superior.Fu Chen didn't think that Emperor Cheng of Jin would consider these things. An emperor who was addicted to pills and beauty would not pay so much attention to details. He could only say that some officials under Emperor Cheng of Jin were more reliable than himself.

The envoy of Ji Sang Kingdom is Counselor You, and he also has people who serve him, who are subordinate officials, maybe because he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in this scene, the other party keeps drifting towards Fu Chen.

The petty official didn't have much idea about the Jin Dynasty, but when he saw this extravagant palace and a group of people in bright and luxurious clothes, he was frightened at first.Then pay attention to the servants here, that is, the one closest to him, not only has good looks and a good voice, but also has that smile, the movement of making tea, and the demeanor of benefiting from advancing and retreating. One point is too little, and there is a spirit in the eyes. The smell of the Jin Dynasty people is really not found anywhere else. Looking at it makes people feel comfortable everywhere. He can't help feeling that there is only Jin Dynasty who is outstanding. To produce such a slave.He didn't want to be ashamed either, so he followed the example of others, so as not to lose face.

Fu Chen approached with a low body, with a polite smile, and added a chopsticks pre-dinner snack to Concubine Jin's dinner plate, "Niang Niang, appetizer."

The petty official also followed suit, Fu Chen stopped and he stopped, Fu Chen took a step back and he also took a step back, Fu Chen did what he did, he learned that he was diligent, but this kind of behavior like copying and pasting is very attractive Notice.

Shao Huachi, who glanced over, saw this scene, and burst out laughing.

"What is Seventh Brother watching? If you have any interesting stories, you can tell my younger brother." Shao Ziyu was sitting beside him.

When Shao Huachi heard Shao Ziyu's teasing, he had already looked away, "I just thought that the eighteenth brother didn't recite the part requested by the Taifu, and he was so scared that he skipped class and was arrested by the guards."

Shao Ziyu also laughed when he heard the words, but only glanced in Fu Chen's direction, thinking a little bit.

Seventh brother, if you really belong to me, then your confidants should also confess to me in due course.

Later, many people discovered that the petty officials of the Jisang Kingdom were actually learning the etiquette of the Jin Dynasty. They learned it rigidly, but it was a bit of imitation. The movements were there, but they didn't learn the charm.Everyone wanted to smile, and tried their best to endure it, but they all inevitably wore a look of pride and pride. Look at how even our servants are admired by you. We should stand at the top and be worshipped!

The counselor on the right also seemed to have noticed that their table was getting a lot of attention, and after observing for a while, he realized that his subordinate officer had actually imitated the actions of the concubine at the next table!

His whole face was flushed red!It was ashamed and angry, and he scolded in a low voice in Jisang language, "Go on, don't you feel ashamed enough?"

The subordinate officer didn't understand what he had done wrong, and his expression was inexplicable and aggrieved.

Mu Junning smiled lightly, and after a little gesture, Fu Chen leaned over, thinking she had some orders.

"You, aren't you so boring that you even want to bully the envoys of other countries?" She seemed to think that Fu Chen deliberately led the other party to make a fool of himself.

In her heart, Fu Chen only did this kind of empty-handed white wolf thing, and no one can ask his guilt afterwards.

Hearing this, Fu Chen felt a little wronged, "The servant only concentrates on serving the empress."

He doesn't have so much free time to do these thankless things. Does this woman think too complicatedly about him sometimes, and what he does can be related to a little thing.

A little lively, he added something that was not like what he said, "A slave can't stop others from worshiping."

A man who is serious and almost never jokes, suddenly frowns like a peacock with its tail open. Not only does it not look childish, but it makes people novel. In modern times, this is called contrast cuteness.

Concubine Jin smiled like a flower, and found Fu Chen like this very interesting.

However, Shao Huachi had a panoramic view of this scene, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, with a faint pain.

How did Fu Chen ever make him happy like this?

Maybe there was, when he was still "stupid".

Even though he knew that Fu Chen was just pretending to Concubine Jin, that person was used to flattering and being obedient, but the constant sourness couldn't stop him.

His eyes couldn't help but stare at the interaction between the two, unable to move away.

Shen Xiao didn't sit in the section where officials were seated. He was assigned to the royal family's table, but there was an imperceptible sadness on his face. He was observing the noteworthy people in the entire hall, as if he was looking for suspicious targets. There are so many people that observation alone is not enough.

He paid special attention to the Seventh Prince's table. The accident happened during the assassination of the Seventh Prince, but from the beginning to the end, Shao Huachi did not expose the incident unexpectedly. After the fifth released the pre-death message, the whole incident It's like suddenly cutting off all good leads.

It seems that we have to wait for the second stage of the banquet. After entering the palace, no matter what his status is, he will be searched routinely. He has no sharp weapon on his body, so he "unintentionally" broke a teacup.

Soon an attendant replaced him with a new teacup, but Fu Chen, who was secretly observing him, noticed something was wrong. Shen Xiao's movements were very natural, and it seemed that he was not very used to such a big scene. It really seemed to be careless , but combined with Shen Xiao's usual behavior, he has experienced many such scenes, and he is not so nervous that he breaks the cup.

Secondly, there are eunuchs and maids, why does he have to pick up the pieces by himself?

Fu Chen frowned, which seemed to have conveyed some kind of message.

And what does this information represent?

Fu Chen, who was preparing dishes for Concubine Jin, suddenly felt someone touch his buttocks!

No, to be precise, touch!

Even though the time was very short, the movement was very frivolous, and even had the feeling of a veteran in the love field in the previous life. The touching movement was very ambiguous, the kind that aroused lust.

Fu Chen's murderous intent flashed, and he also saw it in the mess hall. There were older and high-ranking eunuchs doing things to some beautiful, fair-skinned, slender eunuchs who had just entered the palace. The part that touches is the buttocks!

Ever since he became a rank, the eunuchs who had planned on him before also withdrew their minds. It had been a long time since Fu Chen had been provoked so desperately.

Fu Chen turned his head, didn't hide his murderous look, and faced Xin Yi who was smiling at him with a half-smile.

"This look really excites me." Xin Yi's eyes lit up, he hadn't seen such angry and cold eyes like an angry lion for a long time.

It was the anger after the territory was violated. Xin Yi has mixed tastes. He not only likes Suyu who is obedient, who makes him comfortable, but also likes Fu Chen who has a pure yang taste. Although he was castrated, he can't hide it. Hold that sturdy breath.

This aroused his deep-seated desire. Just now when he saw Fu Chen's perky buttocks, he felt a little moved, and he came on impulse.He had already been poisoned by Suyu's medicine, and his demand for it was getting bigger and bigger. Fu Chen was also the culprit.

If you can be served by this kind of top quality once, the feeling will definitely be ecstasy, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

He seemed to have seen through Fu Chen's clothes, imagining how this person would look without a single thread.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, he had already asked for Li Xiangying, but later something that seemed to be collusion made him shorter in front of Emperor Jin Cheng, so it was hard to mention the matter of wanting Fu Chen.As for what happened to Li Xiangying, he didn't think about it. Anyway, he didn't owe that Li Xiangying anything, so he asked what he could, but that bastard was stupid. How could he take action against someone who failed to achieve success but failed, but he was still grateful to Li Xiangying for letting him not miss such a masterpiece!

Even if Emperor Jin Cheng disagreed, he wanted to steal people out of the palace!

He's just a slave. If he's gone, will he be held accountable? Besides, if he knows he took him away, can Emperor Jin Cheng really make the two countries go to war for the sake of the slave?That would be impossible.

Concubine Jin noticed that Fu Chen was not obviously angry, and she didn't know what happened. Fu Chen is a person who doesn't show his emotions, so it is already a rare thing for him to show his emotions.But seeing Xin Yi, who was full of smiles, was toasting with a wine glass, and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face. After the two saluted, Xin Yi left.

That direction was to look for the envoy of Ji Sang Kingdom at the next table, who seemed to be dropping by to say hello to Concubine Jin.

This kind of behavior is not abrupt, and it does not attract the attention of others. The two most powerful people in the palace did not come, and many people greeted and greeted at other tables.

Not long after, the seventh prince and other princes also came to this table, especially the sixth prince Shao Jintan, he was the most lively, maybe because he didn't like Fu Chen, intentionally or unintentionally separated the distance between Fu Chen and Concubine Jin.

But it was also convenient for Shao Huachi to move.

Taking advantage of this time, Shao Huachi approached Fu Chen, "What did Xin Yi do just now?"

"Your Highness, if this slave wants to do something that may affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, will you convict him?" Fu Chen's calm gaze made it impossible to see what happened just now, he has completely faded from the appearance of surging anger just now .

Originally, he planned to have a long-term plan for Xin Yi. At least in Fu Chen's plan, it was the best time to go out of the border of the Jin Dynasty and slowly recruit this powerful eunuch.

But just now, Xin Yi's eyes that are bound to win him, and the hidden deep meaning, gave Fu Chen a bad feeling. He has some research on people's psychology and eyes, and he is more sensitive. This kind of bad feeling Accompanying to make him vigilant.He didn't want any accidents in the confrontation with Shen Xiao and the forces behind him.

"Why did I easily commit crimes to you, what's the matter?" The past is not counted, Shao Huachi selectively forgets the bad things he did, if he could do it all over again, he would definitely subdue Fu Chen from the beginning.

At this time, the princes are about to leave Concubine Jin's table.

Seeing that there was no time, Fu Chen was inconvenient to write a long story. In such a large audience, the conversation between the two could be heard at any time.

Swish.

He grabbed Shao Huachi's hand at once.

Suddenly, Shao Huachi's ears and neck were stained pink, and his hands were held by another pair of slender and cold hands. The cool touch passed through the skin without any barriers, and his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

He was in a daze for a while, and his feet fluttered a little, which didn't let Fu Chen notice his strangeness.

Maybe it was that time, he thought about Fu Chen's hand a lot, now that Fu Chen's hand is close, the scene of that night will naturally appear in his mind.

This man's hands are magical.

Damn it, he should forget these dirty and obscene memories as soon as possible.

What is this, Xiao wants to be served by a slave all day long?How can you meet people!

Fu Chen didn't notice Shao Huachi's rare shyness, he moved quickly, and wrote a word on Shao Huachi's palm.

Shao Huachi recovered from the chaos and chaos with the departure of the tea-serving princes. What Fu Chen wrote was: kill!

kill.

Who to kill?

Magnolia! ?

Is he crazy!

Because of Fu Chen's madness and ruthlessness, what did Xin Yi do just now to make him suddenly make such a bad move?

Of course Shao Huachi didn't understand that Fu Chen was in a confrontation with Shen Xiao at the moment, so he naturally wanted to solve a hidden danger as quickly as possible.

As for the consequences of solving this hidden danger, that is a matter for later.

It's not that he didn't plan at all, he just advanced the original plan.

But Shao Huachi didn't know about this.

Xin Yi is the uncrowned king of Zhen Kingdom, if he falls, Zhen Kingdom will be in chaos!

A war between the two countries is essential.

At least, Xin Yi can't have any accidents in the territory of the Jin Dynasty. Shao Huachi always remembers Fu Chen's words, water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. He is not a good person, but he thinks what Fu Chen said is reasonable, and it is not them who are suffering The people in the palace, but the people of the Jin Dynasty, can't let the Jin Dynasty, which has just lost its vitality, get into trouble again.

In the previous intersection, Fu Chen gave too little information, making it impossible for him to judge the pros and cons.

Fu Chen loves swords too much, and some planned things come very suddenly, which makes people overwhelmed. If such a ghost follows a lord who doesn't fully trust him, it will be a disaster.

But no matter what Fu Chen wants to do, Shao Huachi can't let Xin Yi die in terms of the environment and the relationship between countries, at least not now.

He ordered Quezi and the others to keep an eye on Fu Chen as secretly as possible, so that no accidents would happen to him.

But Quezi and the others are slaves after all, they are capable and limited in what they can do, Shao Huachi secretly said to himself that he is always optimistic about Fu Chen and will not let him out of his vision.

When they met Fu Chen's eyes, the two eyes met in the air.

At this time, the emperor's wife came back, and all the attention was attracted. Everyone stood up, made a hands-on salute, and shouted long live long live in unison.

Shao Huachi shook his head, signaling Fu Chen to be calm.

Fu Chen's eyes were calm, so calm that he knew it was a rejection.

He closed his eyes, knelt down and shouted long live.

His heart was half cold.

Even if he had guessed the result long ago, even if he knew that he had an imperfect plan, he never acted impulsively, and he was not impulsive when he sent the information just now.

The reason why this plan was not implemented before was because he knew he would be rejected by Shao Huachi, and because the risk was too great.

But if it succeeds, the benefits will be the greatest!

He doesn't have only one plan. If plan A cannot be implemented, plan B will naturally come to the top. Because of various concerns about plan B, he did not mention it.

But now, he already felt that dangerous steps were approaching.

The reality made him not want to wait slowly, so he decided to temporarily choose plan B and kill Xin Yi directly.

He can understand Shao Huachi's approach, and he would do the same if he were different.Why should Shao Huachi trust a slave's inexplicable request? This request sounds so unbelievable, and it may drag him into trouble.

He was the one who overstepped the bounds, so naive that he would think that Shao Huachi would help him an extra time and carry out a crazy plan for the sake of him being a counselor.

Fu Chen laughed at himself, he always overestimated his position in the heart of the master.

A slave is always a slave, so is it possible that they still dream of true equality?

The once soft and pitiful heart was once again frozen.

The next thing is to start the banquet, Fu Chen observed it, and he did not see the figure of the second prince, even on such an important day, the emperor did not let the second prince out, it seemed that he was really disappointed with Shao Huayang.

However, the queen at the top still maintained a graceful and luxurious smile, as if she was not affected by the absence of the second prince, completely ignoring the probing and pitying eyes of court wives and concubines from time to time.

The banquet at the Zhengde Hall was over, and when Fu Chen left with Concubine Jin, Xin Yi's subordinates passed on a message, "Please Eunuch Fu to come outside the Dianjiang Terrace during the banquet to discuss matters, and it's about Eunuch Li."

Fu Chen remained calm and complied, his mind running at high speed, connecting all the things together again and again, looking for opportunities.

For the time being, we must stand still.

The current time and place are not suitable for contacting anyone.

Xin Yi's identity is too sensitive, and the risk is too great, and he may not be able to get away completely if he contacts anyone.

Maybe, he needs to risk himself.

This is a bad move, but no one has ever given him an extra choice.

Fu Chen settled his thoughts, and followed Concubine Jin to Dianjiang Terrace. As soon as the arranged program came out, the performance had already begun.

Concubine Jin found that Fu Chen seemed to be concentrating, but in fact she was a little absent-minded. After all, she had known Fu Chen for not a day or two, and she could sense emotions that others couldn't. "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm thinking, if you can perform this show for me one day, that would be great." Fu Chen teased, as if whispering in his ear, "Of course, just show it to me."

Concubine Jin saw that on the stage, the dance troupe brought by Ji Sangguo was currently performing. It was called belly dance. The dancers were exposed and extremely sexy. It seemed that everyone's attention was on the dancers' bare waist.

This may not be special in Jisang, but the Jin Dynasty was relatively conservative. Even in summer, women wore long-sleeved long skirts to cover their naked body parts.

The courtiers in the audience were all staring at each other, some even got a little drunk and whistled.

The concubines showed disdain and disapproval one after another, despising the behavior of these dancers.

Emperor Jin Cheng didn't stop him either, perhaps because he was lazy and didn't want to restrain the courtiers.Today's emperor seems to be in a bit of a slump, and doesn't pay much attention to these carefully arranged programs.

On the contrary, the queen mother seemed to be in a hurry to go back and use the drug, she gave a few orders and got up amidst everyone's greetings, and left relatively quickly.

Mu Junning realized what Fu Chen meant, this guy!It's getting bigger and bigger!

"This... is against the weather! You, you really are! Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!" She was so angry that she ignored Fu Chen.

Looking back, he watched these dancers carefully.

After finishing the perfunctory, Fu Chen still observed the movements of Shen Xiao and Xin Yi.

Xin Yi was chatting with the Seventh Prince next to him at this time, looking very speculative.Perhaps because of Fu Chen's reaction just now, Shao Huachi deliberately changed his position and chatted with this powerful Master Xin.

Although Xin Yi kept his word in Zhen Kingdom, he was an eunuch after all, and he was not respected enough when he arrived in Jin Kingdom. At this time, there is actually a prince-level person who pays his respects, so why not be overjoyed!

Even this prince was one of the favored princes of the Jin Dynasty.

So excited to drink with it.

Shao Huachi drank with a smile, covered the wine glass with his sleeve, his eyes wandered to Fu Chen, as if he was sending a message: don't worry.

Fu Chen was still indifferent, but returned a grateful smile perfectly.

On the other side, Shen Xiao was also whispering to the princess, but Fu Chen noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in his sleeve under the table that was reflected.

What is Shen Xiao holding?

Fu Chen thought of what he did before, it was a fragment of a teacup! ?

At this time, the dancer went down, and the program of Ji Sang State also came to an end, and the next one was the first song of Jin State, Neon Clothes Dance.

Emperor Jin Cheng was a little tired and lacked interest in everything, but he seemed to suddenly regain his energy and stared at the stage closely.

The queen who was recovering from a serious illness by his side couldn't hide her haggardness even with makeup. She noticed the strangeness of Emperor Jin Cheng, and she seemed to understand, and followed her gaze.

Music played.
