Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]

"Bai Yiliu?"

The three of them were eating well, and suddenly they talked about Zhao Minsheng's going out of the palace to set up a mansion, so Xu Xian recommended Bai Yiliu to be his musician at the housewarming banquet.

Although Zhao Minsheng didn't know much about Bai Yiliu, since he was Xu Xian's choice, there must be no mistakes. Thinking so, Zhao Minsheng easily accepted the matter.

"Also."

Zhao Minsheng didn't quite understand these things, now that Xu Xian was able to push someone over with him, it was considered a favor for him, saving him from worrying.

After the meal was over, Xu Xian brought Bai Yiliu over again, settled the matter in front of others, and then Zhao Minsheng didn't bother, pulled Xie Yuan around and went out to enjoy the lanterns up.

It wasn't until the New Year's Eve was over that Zhao Minsheng finally tidied up the deer pear building, and this little fox surnamed Bai finally showed his fox tail at the housewarming banquet.

-

At this time, the warm winter sun had just climbed out of a corner of the green hill in the distance, and Zhao Minsheng had already stood in front of the gate of Luli Xiaozhu. Now the courtyard has undergone some simple repairs, and it looks very elegant and beautiful.

The red walls and black tiles, the vermilion lacquer gate, no matter where you stand, it looks very grand, except for the new plaque on the gate, Zhao Minsheng always feels that there is something wrong with it.

He originally wanted Xie Yuan to write the three characters Huai Prince's Mansion. After all, Dugong Xie's calligraphy is famous all over the world, so it is reasonable for him to write the inscription. Presumably the emperor would not have any opinion.

However, Xie Yuan always said that it was against the rules. No matter how soft and stubborn Zhao Minsheng was, he always rejected them one by one with this sentence, which made Zhao Minsheng also have to compromise, and handed over the matter to the person in charge of the palace. The eunuch came to handle the matter, and finally got such a plaque.

Zhao Minsheng stood in front of the mansion, rubbing his chin with his hands, and looked up slightly.

It's not that this plaque is not good, but the inscriptions are a bit too horizontal and vertical, hanging on it, it looks a little lifeless, far less beautiful than Xie Yuan's writing.

"Hey, Xie Xiaoguo, he has used the plaque I wrote for so many years, but now he refuses to even mention a word to me."

Zhao Minsheng looked at the plaque, shook his head, sighed, and secretly muttered that Xie Yuan was stingy, but the corner of his mouth was always smiling.

After reading the plaque, Zhao Minsheng took Wang Qi and pushed the door into the courtyard. In the early years, Prince Jing lived in this courtyard. This person is the elder brother of the current emperor. He is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Unrestrained, indifferent.

Therefore, his courtyard has always been famous for its elegance in the capital.

Zhao Minsheng had just opened the door to enter the courtyard, and when he looked up, he saw a large area of ​​pear trees. Although it is winter, there are no leaves and no flowers on the trees, but once the crystal clear frost and snow cover the trees, it will be difficult to see from a distance. A bit of pear blossom, but a little less aroma.

When Lord Jing lived here, there was a group of deer raised here, and Luli Xiaozhu got its name from it, but after his death, the group of deer was sent to the palace to be raised, and now they are here again. It can no longer be seen here.

The servants in the mansion are all busy with the evening banquet. Zhao Minsheng walked through the courtyard and arrived at the room where he lived. As soon as he opened the door, a black figure flashed across the room.

Wang Qi stood by Zhao Minsheng's side, trembling with fright from this figure, his hands tightly grasping Zhao Minsheng's sleeves.

"My subordinate Duan Jie, see Your Highness."

As soon as someone opened the door, that figure quickly flashed to the door, kneeling respectfully at Zhao Minsheng's feet.

This man's name is Duan Jie, and he is Xie Yuan's shadow guard. He is eighteen years old, and he is already very reliable in his work. Now that Zhao Minsheng has left the palace to set up his own mansion, although it is much more convenient to do daily things, this mansion is still not as good as that in the palace. The guards are generally strict, so there are some people with evil intentions who visit late at night, so Xie Yuan transferred Duan Jie here to be responsible for protecting Zhao Minsheng's safety.

Although Xie Yuan also mentioned this matter to him in the letter, he never said when the person would come. It was not until Zhao Minsheng had almost forgotten about this matter that he suddenly said no. Suddenly, it appeared in Zhao Minsheng's bedroom.

It was so sudden that it was hard not to be taken aback.

Zhao Minsheng looked at the man's black hair, stroked the tiger's mouth of his left hand, calmed down a little, and then he took a deep breath and said something to the man.

"Get up."

"Subordinates obey."

That Duan Jie was really obedient, as soon as Zhao Minsheng said this, he stood up abruptly, frightening the prince who was standing beside him again.

These two times and three times of shocking, Wang Qi couldn't help squinting at Duan Jie, while looking at Duan Jie, he stretched out his hand and lightly supported his chest twice.

He is now considered an elderly person, and it is hard for him to be frightened from time to time.

Zhao Minsheng was walking back and forth in the room, looking here and there, and that Duan Jie was like a little ghost possessing a human body, following behind him every step of the way.

Neither speak nor do anything, just simply follow.

It wasn't until Zhao Minsheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around that he knelt down at the person's feet with a terrified expression.

The floor was hard, but Duan Jie knelt without hesitation. The moment his knee hit the ground, Zhao Minsheng immediately heard a "dong" sound, which was so loud that he felt pain just listening to it. .

"What...why have you been following me around like this?"

Zhao Minsheng stared at the man's knee with some reluctance. Although he thought he had never bullied the man in front of him, he still tried to soften his tone when talking to him.

He didn't know what was wrong with this man, he had to kneel down while talking.

"Returning to Your Highness, Dugong Xie asked his subordinates to take care of His Highness's safety."

"Inseparable care?"

As Zhao Minsheng spoke, he tilted his head and glanced at him with some doubts.

After hearing this, the man seemed to think seriously for a while, then raised his head again, looked into Zhao Minsheng's eyes, and said something calmly.

"The duke did not give such orders."

Zhao Minsheng looked in front of him with a complex expression, and this goose-like young man nodded quietly.

"Then you don't need to take care of it like this. Whatever you do in the Xie Mansion, you can do it as usual with me. The room on the east side of the inner courtyard is yours. I will let the servants arrange the rest for you. What is lacking on weekdays?" Things, just tell the prince.”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

That Duan Jie looked at Zhao Minsheng in front of him, nodded with a dull expression, and said yes, but then he still knelt on the ground, staring blankly at him.

Zhao Minsheng stared at the man's eyes for two seconds, then pursed his lips and said something.

"Still kneeling?"

After the little shadow guard heard this, he groaned belatedly, and said to someone, "This subordinate will leave." Then he ran back to his room.

After the person disappeared, Wang Qi slowly approached Zhao Minsheng, and said something to him with an incredulous expression.

"It turns out that Dugong Xie also has such a frightened child under his command."

"The people the Dugong sent over must be capable people. You can tell from his stature. Duan Jie is very skilled. If he is just fighting alone, even my grandfather, General Li Qing, dares to say that he will definitely be able to do it." beat him."

Zhao Minsheng looked at the direction in which the person ran away, said this, and then continued to wander around the room curiously.

Only Wang Qi was left alone, standing where he was, thinking about what Zhao Minsheng had just said, frowning faintly.

His Royal Highness has obviously never practiced martial arts, and even knows nothing about martial arts, how can he suddenly be able to judge that he is good at it just by his steps and movements?

Since the day Zhao Minsheng returned to the palace, Wang Qi has been closely following them and serving them, and he has never left for a day. He should be the one who knows best what happened to Zhao Minsheng, but now he is a little confused up.

Wang Gonggong stood on the spot thinking about it, then unconsciously lost his mind, until Zhao Minsheng stood beside him and called him a few times, then he regained his senses as if waking up from a dream.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Seeing Wang Qi like this, Zhao Minsheng couldn't help but feel a little worried. Wang Qi is always very attentive in his work on weekdays, and it is rare for people to see him distracted. Think of his body.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to say that there are quite a few ministers invited tonight. When you have nothing to do, you should pay more attention to the servants in the mansion so that there are no mistakes. But I don't think you look too good , but what's wrong with your body? You have been busy with me in recent days, and you are very tired, so you need to rest more. "

"Yes, thank you for your concern, your servant is fine."

Wang Qi said and smiled at Zhao Minsheng, no matter what, this person in front of him is his highness, the child he will take care of with all his heart, if he really knows martial arts, wouldn't it be better, at least he If you can protect yourself in a critical moment, what is there to worry about?

Zhao Minsheng just got acquainted with his new mansion inside and out a few times, and not long after that, the guests arrived one after another.

Because of Xie Yuan's face, there were quite a lot of people who came to the night banquet today. As long as the ministers of the court were in the capital, almost none of them would miss him. King Ling also came to the mansion one after another to show off Xie Yuan's face.

But Li Qing, who was supposed to be there the most, still didn't show up. Zhao Minsheng knew that he didn't like this kind of scene, and couldn't get used to these people's faces, so from the very beginning, he didn't send anyone a post at all.

Although he could understand it, the officials present couldn't help talking to each other. You spoke in a heated manner, and it wasn't until Zhao Minsheng stood in front of him and coughed a few times deliberately that they restrained themselves a little. down.

So far, the banquet has officially begun.
