Your Majesty, please draw the card

Liu Xi's teeth chattered: "Zi... Zilong, did you hear anything?"

The melancholy sound of the wind accompanied by the sad and strange tune evoked the most primitive horror in people's hearts.

Zhao Yun listened attentively and said, "Back to the emperor, it seems to be crying."

"Crying?!" Liu Xi's hairs stood on end.

"Why don't you ask Eunuch Zhang to take a look?" Hearing the crying in the middle of the night, Zhao Yun, a professional soldier with strong psychological quality, was naturally not afraid, but he was very concerned that the constant crying would affect His Majesty's rest.Seeing the emperor's nervous expression, he suddenly wanted to touch the emperor's head, just like when he touched A Dou's head and told A Dou not to be afraid of thunder.

That's right, even if there are ghosts, they can't beat Zhao Yun!

Liu Xi was determined, and raised his voice: "Zhang Dequan, go and see who is crying outside!" He added: "Remember to bring someone in." Once accepted, there is no need to be afraid of such a setting with Zhao Yun. , he was a little curious about this "ghost".

Zhang Dequan was startled when he heard the emperor calling him.Someone was crying near Weiyang Palace, it is his responsibility to disturb Shengjia!Eunuch Zhang was angry and annoyed, so he took four guards and trotted to arrest people.

After a while, there was a commotion outside, and Eunuch Zhang said through the door: "If you go back to the emperor, it will be a little eunuch with short eyes crying outside."

"Where are people? Bring them in."

As soon as the palace door opened, before Eunuch Zhang had time to enter, a figure flashed in first.

"emperor!"

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!"

"Bold slave!"

"Escort! Escort!"

"Woo... Your Majesty, let him let me go! Your Majesty, don't you want to be together?"

This series of movements happened in an instant, and Liu Xi didn't realize it until the dust had settled, and couldn't help laughing.The correct order is actually this.The little eunuch who was crying outside Weiyang Palace relied on his size and small movements to rush into the palace ahead of Eunuch Zhang, and rushed towards Liu Xi while shouting.Reluctantly, he was faster than Zhao Yun. The long-handed and long-legged current guard, one of the former five tiger generals in Sichuan, stretched out his foot lightly, not to mention tripping him, and even stepped on the little eunuch's back. .On the other side, Eunuch Zhang saw that none of the four guards could keep an eye on the little eunuch, and he immediately became furious.The four guards who came in with him also murmured inwardly, shouting for escort, trying to add points for their loyalty.The guards surrounded the little eunuch, as if the other party was very dangerous, never thought that the little eunuch would say such a sentence when he looked up, it seemed that he was old with the emperor?

group?what is that?

Liu Xi blinked innocently: "Who are you? Do I know you very well?"

The little eunuch gasped. He originally wanted to confide his grievances to the emperor, but why did the emperor suddenly not recognize him?

"Your Majesty, I am Tuan'er, don't you know Tuan'er?" The little eunuch wanted to crawl forward, but forgot that he was still being stepped on by Zhao Yun, so he couldn't move at all.

The emperor saw that he looked like a tortoise whose carapace was held down, and couldn't help but burst into a smile. "What kind of ball, where are you on errand, why are you crying in Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night?"

Now the little eunuch could also see that His Majesty the Emperor really didn't know him.It shouldn't be!It's only been two months, have you changed that much?Although this master's natural memory is not very good, but it is not impossible to recognize the people who have served him since he was a child, right?But today is different from the past, his master is already the emperor of the real dragon, and the slaves have to please him even more.Now that he had figured out how powerful it was, he slipped into words——

"Reporting to the emperor, the slave rice ball has been serving the emperor for five years. After the emperor left the Chenliu palace, the slave also followed the people in the palace to the capital. At first, he was taken to learn the rules for a month, and then he was driven away. The last emperor was seriously ill. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the palace until the emperor was enthroned. The slaves thought they could return to serve the emperor, but they were taken away to raise virtue by mistake. Although Yangde Palace is also one of the side halls of Weiyang Palace, it is a place that the emperor never goes to. The servant remembered that the emperor had made an agreement with the servant that the servant would serve you for the rest of his life. When he really arrived in the palace, he would not even see the emperor's face. , weeping because of the unbearable grief."

Liu Xi thought about it, and felt that what the little eunuch said could only be regarded as half-truth and half-false.He said that he was an old man from Chenliu's palace, which should be true, otherwise his lie could be exposed by just asking casually.As for running to the back of Weiyang Palace to cry because of unbearable grief, this is nonsense.Where is Weiyang Palace? How could a eunuch without martial arts touch the vicinity of Weiyang Palace?There must be someone secretly helping behind this.Who wants this little eunuch to appear in front of him?And who wouldn't let him appear in front of him?

Eunuch Zhang arranges where and what the eunuchs and maids of Weiyang Palace do.I heard that Yangde Palace is a Taoist temple built in the imperial palace, dedicated to worshiping Sanqing, and it is the place where the emperor worships the gods.Liu Xi didn't have that hobby, so naturally it was impossible for him to go. Zhang Dequan arranged people there, probably with the idea of ​​not letting the emperor see Mi Tuan for the rest of his life.Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but cast a glance at Zhang Dequan.

Eunuch Zhang was surprised.Seeing the emperor's half-smile expression, he almost immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.Fortunately, he still remembered that the emperor obviously didn't recognize the little eunuch at first, and the relationship was not close, so he gained a little bit of confidence, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are twelve front halls and twelve rear halls in Weiyang Palace. There are 28 side halls, and the palace people in each place are dedicated to their duties, and they dare not make the slightest mistake. This is because Weiyang Palace is your emperor's bedroom! If everyone is crying in the middle of the night because they can't see the holy face, and disturbing the emperor, it will be terrible. How did you get it?"

"That's right. If everyone put down their work to see me, wouldn't I be like the rare birds and animals in the imperial garden? But since I promised him, let him stay by my side to serve! It's early, Zhang Dequan waits for me to change clothes. Zilong, let go of the rice balls!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Old slave obeys!"

"Thank you, Emperor Ron!"

Mi Tuan was naturally overjoyed, Zhang Dequan secretly hated and was vigilant, but Zhao Yun felt a little resentful before leaving.He also likes to do things like helping the emperor's little friend undress and put on clothes, but it's a peaceful age, and he can't do these things anyway.I really want to relive the feeling of helping Adou tie his hair...

On the other hand, Liu Xi finally lay down on the dragon bed that he dreamed of every day.

When Zhang Dequan left just now, he hinted that he should not let too many people know about the divine card.Liu Xi didn't want Mituan to know, so he told Zhang Dequan that he would serve him at night.In fact, he kept the rice balls because Liu Xi was a soft-hearted person in the past. When encountering such a situation, he would definitely not distinguish the tricks carefully, and would happily keep the people he was used to.Liu Xi wanted to change the emperor's image little by little, but he couldn't do it too hastily.

In addition, he also needs someone who is familiar with Liu Xi's situation in the past to be by his side, so as not to be overwhelmed by "someone he knows" sometimes.Anyway, he was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old eunuch, so he couldn't be threatened no matter what.

From then on, there was an extra Mi Gonggong beside the emperor.Although this Mr. Mi is small, he does things very neatly. He is also an old man of Chenliu Palace, and he is very trusted by the emperor.He and Eunuch Zhang served the emperor in shifts, and they lived in peace, but Eunuch Zhang was still on duty at night.

Just when everyone in the palace thought that Zhang and Mi would be the most favored by the emperor from now on, another Eunuch Gao appeared out of nowhere.

"Who sent this eunuch surnamed Gao?"

Empress Dowager Cao couldn't help being furious when she heard about this.She spent so much time trying to place her chess pieces beside the emperor. The purpose was to make the emperor get close to the Cao family, but not too close to the empress dowager and the empress dowager.Zhang Dequan is an old man left by the late emperor, she cannot be excluded, and can only occupy half of it.Unexpectedly, within a few days, this one-half suddenly became one-third!Who in the end is doing it secretly, vying for influence over the emperor?

"Going back to Mr. Pingyuan, this man named Gao seems to have been in the palace early in the morning, but he has nothing to do with any faction. He suddenly caught the emperor's favor a few days ago, and the emperor always takes him with him wherever he goes!"

"Has nothing to do with any faction? Impossible!" Empress Dowager Cao denied this answer.She has been up and down in the harem for many years, and she knows how difficult it is to stand out without a backstage or a background.

"It's absolutely true! Eunuch Mi took the risk to inquire about it himself. Several palace people in the place where the surname Gao stayed remember that there is such a person, but they are very low-key, and they can't say anything specific."

A father-in-law who behaves so low-key suddenly shines in front of the emperor. This incident seems to have a strange atmosphere.

"Check! Check it out carefully for Aijia! Aijia wants to know which faction this Gao Lishi is from!"

The newly drawn fourth-level card gave Liu Xi a headache.

"Eunuch Gao, I was wrong."

"The emperor still makes mistakes?"

"Really, I was really wrong."

"Then the emperor is talking about it, what is wrong?"

"I absolutely shouldn't, I shouldn't have mentioned Li Bai. If I had known that mentioning Li Bai would cause me to learn poetry from the basics, I would have said nothing!"

Liu Xi was so regretful that his intestines were green.When Gao Lishi was drawn, he couldn't understand why this card was a fourth-level card.His understanding of this famous eunuch was that he had once taken off Li Taibai's boots.If the heavens give Liu Xi another chance, he will read the biography of the card first and then talk to Gao Lishi, because then he will understand that Gao Lishi, known as the "No. , Wisdom is extraordinary, and martial arts is strong, courageous and resourceful. He once served as the general of Tang Xuanzong's hussars.

But unfortunately, there is no such thing as what-if in the world.So Liu Xi directly summoned Gao Lishi, and by the way, gossip about whether Li Bai has smelly feet, and because of this, he lived a life that was not like this (fog).

Also a eunuch, Gao Lishi called himself a minister rather than a slave.Liu Xi looked at this 1.9-meter-tall, handsome man, and felt embarrassed to correct him.He always felt that if Gao Lishi hadn't been a eunuch, he would definitely become the heartthrob of Chang'an.In fact, even for eunuchs, Gao Lishi's appearance is very attractive because he has no beard and his skin is particularly fair. He has a neutral beauty that combines masculinity and femininity.Of course, this is based on not being severely drilled by him.

It's a pity that because Liu Xi talked about poetry, he also talked about Li Bai, whom Gao Lishi hated the most. Now he has to learn to compose poetry from scratch, in the euphemistic name of cultivating his sentiments.

For this matter, although Zhao Yun was a little distressed, he was very supportive.The reason is simple, he was petrified by the words written by the emperor.The emperor's handwriting is actually worse than that of the newly enlightened children, and there are many typos (because he forgot how to write traditional characters).It should be a good thing for the emperor to have this Eunuch Gao, who is also a man of God, supervise him now!Zhao Yun, who was thinking like this, obviously did not receive Liu Xi's unnatural eyes at the moment.

"I was wrong, I am in so much pain, I don't want to sing the goose!"

"Okay then! The chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming, how about taking the emperor to visit the imperial garden?"

"That would be great!"

"By the way, sing about the chrysanthemums!"
