Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]
Chapter 57
Concubine Hui's Shanhua Palace is in the depths of the harem, counting from the time she entered the harem, it took a long time to walk around. The place was remote and few people, but now it seems to be considered clean.
She lived alone in the huge Shanhua Palace, the place was spacious, and there were many servants, all the food and clothing were carefully selected, and then sent over one by one.
So these years, in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Hui has always been the best in the harem, but she is probably the only one who knows about the loneliness and suffering in the cold courtyard of the deep palace.
Most of the women in the harem are like this. On the surface, they seem to have a lot of beauty, but how many people can remain in favor forever.
Today's Xie Yuan didn't take his servants out for a long time, and entered the harem alone. First, he went to the Empress Dowager's place, and after greeting the old man, he came out after a short while and turned his head to go to Concubine Hui's palace. .
In the recent days, the Queen Mother didn't know what happened, the old man who had always been quite tough, in recent days, her body bones suddenly became uncomfortable.
Although it wasn't a serious illness, it always made her sleepy and exhausted, and she couldn't lift her spirits all day long. The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital went back and forth to change a few, but they couldn't figure out why. Come, it is only said that it is because of getting old, so that the Queen Mother can rest and take care of herself on weekdays, and specially prescribed more bird's nest and ginseng soup for tonic.
The Empress Dowager was not feeling well, Xie Yuan didn't want to disturb her anymore, she just sat for a while, then came out of the Empress Dowager's palace, and walked to Concubine Hui's palace not long after.
At this time, she was sitting leisurely in the palace, and the servants were serving her to dye her nails. As soon as she heard the rumor that Xie Yuan had come, her eyes lit up.
Ever since she saw Xie Yuan for the first time in the early years, she has been quite satisfied with his appearance, but he is extraordinary in everything, so he quickly gained a foothold in the court, so I have never been tempted by her implied invitation.
As time passed, Xie Yuan became more and more powerful in the court. Although she became more and more fascinated by people, she almost died of this thought.
Xie Yuan is above the imperial court, a turbulent and powerful person who wields power. With his current status, even a slight hook of his fingers can shake the fate of an entire family. How could such a person treat her like this? Interested in the neglected woman in the harem?
Concubine Hui has always thought this way, and she almost gradually lost hope in getting her hands on Xie Yuan.
But he didn't expect that one day suddenly, the aloof Dugong Xie would take the initiative to walk into her door.
Even the little eunuch of the Shanhua Palace, after seeing Xie Yuan, was very surprised and was stunned for a few seconds before sneaking into the palace and passing the news to others.
When Concubine Hui heard about this, she smiled even more for a moment, and as soon as she heard what the person said, she hurriedly waved her hands, telling people to invite people in.
"Xie Yuan sees Concubine Hui, Empress Wan'an."
As soon as Xie Yuan entered the palace gate, he was frowned by the strong scent of powder in the palace, but he covered it up by bowing his head and saluting, so no one could find out.
"Duke Xie, get up quickly. You and I have known each other for a long time, and there is no need to be so polite when speaking...Xiao Jingzi, show Dugong some tea."
Concubine Hui had just seen Xie Yuan's person, and she couldn't help but burst into joy in her heart. While speaking, she pinched the handkerchief in her hand, covered her face and smiled coquettishly several times, even when talking to people The tone of voice was too gentle and charming.
That Xiao Jingzi was originally an old man who had been serving Concubine Hui for several years, now that he saw his mother's appearance, he knew what to do next.
Only when he agreed, waited for Xie Yuan to take his seat, and then very naturally winked at the servants standing aside.
Those servants standing aside seemed to be familiar with the road, and after seeing the man's wink, they didn't need to say much, and took advantage of the man's time to go down to make tea, followed the eunuch named Xiao Jingzi, all bowed their heads and walked away. It seems to go down.
As soon as the servants around here went, only Concubine Hui and Xie Yuan were left in the room, so it was easier to talk like this.
"Duke Xie must have something to say to Bengong when he came here this time. You and I have known each other for so many years. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."
Xie Yuan looked at the person's extremely swaying appearance, straightened his cuffs uncomfortably, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then straightforwardly told the person the reason for his visit this time.
Concubine Hui has also been in this palace for a long time. She and Xie Yuan said they were old acquaintances, but in fact they have always stopped at acquaintance. He never said much.
At this time Xie Yuan took the initiative to come to her, if he said that he was asking for nothing, no one would believe her.
"Since Concubine Hui is a sensible person, then Xie will not go around with her. Regarding Concubine Shu's depression and death in the early years, Concubine Hui actually knows something else."
Xie Yuan had just finished speaking, when Concubine Hui, who was sitting on the chair, heard the three words Concubine Shu, the expression on her face obviously changed.
She looked at Xie Yuan for a while, then lowered her head secretly, she didn't speak for a while, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.
Xie Yuan sat down, didn't say much, just looked at the tea brought by Xiao Jingzi in front of him like a gust of wind, secretly picked it up, put it in his mouth, sniffed it lightly, and then put it back to the original place without any trace.
After only a short while, Concubine Hui raised her head leisurely as if she had weighed the pros and cons, and looked at Xie Yuan in front of her, with an even more charming expression on her face.
"Duke Xie is worthy of being Dugong Xie. He is really capable. Even this kind of old sesame seeds and rotten grains can't be hidden from your ears and eyes."
As Concubine Hui said, she sat on the chair and turned her body slightly, fiddling with the nails she had just made, those pair of bright red blood-like nails made Xie Yuanjian's heart rise again. There was a distaste for people.
"It's just that since Dugong Xie knows that I understand, he must also understand... who I am. I do know a thing or two about what you said, and I'm happy to tell you all about it. Listen to you, as long as you are willing to come and accompany me for a day."
Xie Yuan sat a little far away from people, but even so, it still couldn't prevent him from being swept from head to toe by people's naked eyes.
"In a few days, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. There will definitely be a night banquet in the palace. It will be very lively. I have been guarding this deserted Shanhua Palace for so many years. Naturally, I don't want to have such a lively day. If you live alone, how about Duke Du come over after the banquet and talk to me?"
Hearing the soft, almost boneless, sweet tone, Xie Yuan had no choice but to close his eyes completely, trying his best not to listen or look, but as soon as he closed his eyes, something suddenly popped up in his mind. The face of Zhao Minsheng emerged.
That young man was refreshing and clean, making Xie Yuan feel as if he had smelled the faint sandalwood fragrance on his body just thinking about it. That familiar smell made him feel like he was going to be intoxicated just thinking about it.
However, such a beautiful picture only stayed in his mind for a short moment. The second after Zhao Minsheng appeared in his mind, the boy opened his eyes and used his slightly With puzzled and wronged eyes, he looked directly at Xie Yuan and said something.
"Xie Yuan, we are not just a master-servant relationship, are we?"
Just this sentence made Xie Yuan covered in cold sweat in an instant.
It was really hard for him to imagine what it would be like if Zhao Minsheng found out about this matter, although the two of them have not confirmed any relationship so far, nor have they made any promises to each other.
But if Zhao Minsheng really found out about this, he would definitely be very angry, and even think that he is such a filthy person, and then he would no longer like him.
But he himself is such a person, dirty, incomplete, and unscrupulous.
Perhaps Zhao Minsheng should have known this a long time ago, and he should not have liked him long ago, so that he could leave safely after helping someone to secure the throne, and go to a place where no one knew him, and retire deep in the mountains.
Sitting in Concubine Hui's palace, Xie Yuan looked at the floor tile in front of his feet, but his mind had already flown back to Xie's mansion.
On that day, Xie Yuan didn't even know how he agreed to this matter and walked out of the Shanhua Palace.
Even though he had all sorts of concerns in his heart, but now the situation is clear, Concubine Zhen is not dead, and Zhao Min's life is difficult, under such circumstances, Xie Yuan really can't allow himself to worry too much.
In his heart, everything in this world is far less precious than the three words Zhao Minsheng, and he absolutely cannot allow even the slightest mistake in the struggle for the throne.
Xie Yuan returned home in such a muddle-headed way. In the past few days after arriving home, he always felt that he behaved quite normally, and there was no chance for anyone to find out about this matter.
But what he didn't know was that since he came back from Concubine Hui's palace and entered the door of Xie's mansion, Zhao Minsheng could smell that smell from him, which shouldn't belong to him.
It's just that he didn't show it at all, and he hasn't spoken directly to others.
At the beginning, Zhao Minsheng thought that Xie Yuan was socializing with the court ministers, so he had no choice but to follow them to the brothel, that's why he got so much makeup on his body.
Even if Xie Yuan told him clearly about this kind of thing, he wouldn't think it was a big deal, because Zhao Minsheng was fully sure that even if Xie Yuan went with others out of desperation, he would never have anything to do with those women.
But later, on that night, Xie Yuan suddenly burned the clothes that were stained with powder and powder with his own hands, which made Zhao Minsheng belatedly realize that something was wrong.
If he just went to the brothel, Xie Yuan wouldn't be so disgusted with the smell, even to the point where he wanted to burn him himself.
Reminiscent of Xie Yuan's abnormal-looking expression after receiving the secret letter a few days ago, Zhao Minsheng couldn't let go of the already hanging heart.
Zhao Minsheng kept paying attention to Xie Yuan like this, and it was not until the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that he finally knew what Xie Yuan had been hiding from him these days.
