Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 26 years

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Hui was leaning on the couch, and the court lady Yinliu brought a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine strictly guards against the Prince's backyard, our people may not be able to arrange it."

Concubine Hui picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Don't worry, the crown prince is only so old, and the imperial concubine can guard it for a while, can it last for a lifetime?"

Yinliu knelt down and tapped Concubine Hui's calf lightly, Concubine Hui sighed slightly, "You tell Imperial Physician Zhuo to keep an eye on the prince's diet, personal conduct, and any disturbances, all of which will be used for our future actions. "

Yinliu bowed her head, "Yes, empress, don't worry."

In early May, people entered the backyard of Yuqing Palace.

At the same time, Su Wei, who was recuperating in the hut, finally walked out of the room after seeing his increasingly plump figure.

In the fourth elder brother's bedroom, Su Wei paid his respects to the fourth elder brother at noon and pleaded guilty.

The fourth elder brother sat on the bed and was silent for a while, "Get up, behave yourself in the future, and don't let Queen Mother worry..."

"Yes," Su Wei stood up.

The fourth elder brother tilted his head to look at Su Wei's back, "Has your injury healed?"

"It's so neat, master," Su Wei was a little embarrassed to be stared at his butt, and dodged to the side.

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips and sat cross-legged on the bed, "I went to see you... but I dare not go during the day, lest the empress find out..."

Su Wei lowered his head, "The master loves the slave, and the slave knows it in his heart. Recently, the slave has become ignorant..."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head and remained silent for a while, "In the future, you won't take me to the roof, will you?"

Su Wei bowed his body, "I don't dare anymore, I still want to save my head to serve my master."

The fourth elder brother nodded sullenly, "Then you can't even see the stars..."

Su Wei smiled, "Master, the stars are above our heads, we can see them when we look up..."

The fourth elder brother "cut" and lay on the bed with his head up. Su Wei stepped forward to cover the fourth elder brother with a quilt.The fourth elder brother threw a leg, "Su Peisheng!"

"Hey," Su Wei pulled the quilt to cover Si Age's crooked leg.

"Wait for me..." Su Wei looked at the fourth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother didn't say anything, but turned over and closed his eyes.

The fourth elder brother took a nap, Su Wei walked out of the main hall, and ran into the sixth-rank eunuch Zhang Qilin head-on.

When the two met for the first time, a stone blue satin robe with quail pattern was rippled by the wind on the steps, and a black and purple oriole pattern Robe jacket was shining in the sun.For a while, the eunuchs working in the yard stood there with brooms or flower plates.In Su Wei's mind at this time, there should be a kind of tragic autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and a kind of tense atmosphere that is on the verge of breaking out. However, the next moment, this classic shot was destroyed...

"Oh, Mr. Su," Zhang Qilin cupped his hands, and stepped forward to support Su Wei's arm, "Come on, I'll support you, walk slowly. You said you too, this injury happens to be nothing minor The eunuch followed, it would be nice to fall and bump into each other. There are steps here, come on, let's step up together..."

Su Wei was helped back to his hut by Zhang Qilin with a desolate face. When he met Xiao Erge and Wang Chaoqing, they all looked like we didn't see anything...

Zhongcui Palace

Tao'er brought a dress to Hesheli with a bitter face.

"What do you look like? Did I wrong you for asking you to take a piece of clothing?" Hesheli stared at Tao'er and said.

Tao'er shook her head again and again, "I don't dare, it's just...just..."

"Just what?" Hershey squinted at her.

Tao'er lowered her head, "Your lord's restraint has just been lifted, you just...you don't go around, what if the imperial concubine gets angry again?"

Hesheli smiled, and patted Tao'er's head, "You, who do you look like with this timid look? Thanks to you who have been with me for so long. There is a reason why the imperial concubine let me out, kindness That trip to Ren Gong was far from enough..."

Tao'er unbuttoned Hesheli, "The imperial concubine and the young master obviously have a rift, why do they seem to be standing together again now?"

"Standing together?" Hershey sneered, "You are too naive. If there is a chance, the first one who wants to kill me is the imperial concubine. This time, it just happens to have the same purpose and take advantage of each other."

Tao'er hugged the gown that Hesheli had replaced, "I don't understand, but I know that the young master is not like outsiders say, everything the young master does is for the sake of being too—"

"Shut up!" Hesheli scolded, Tao'er shrank her neck, Hesheli took a look at her, and sighed, "I don't do it for anyone, just for myself..."

Sho San Institute

Su Wei has been with the fourth elder brother for nearly five years, and he has seen hundreds of eunuchs, not to mention eighty, but he is really the first one like Zhang Qilin.

Back then, when Liu Yu first came to the fourth elder brother's side, he also made friends with Su Wei in various ways, but he was very friendly and purposeful, and he was not at the same level as Zhang Qilin's mindless stalker.

Just like at this moment, Su Wei called Xiao Erge into the room to discuss some important private matters, so Wang Chaoqing went out with a lot of insight.But this Eunuch Zhang sat at the table with a curious and gossipy face, waiting for Su Wei to speak.

Su Wei and Zhang Qilin looked at each other for two seconds, and asked a question that puzzled him for several days, "Eunuch Zhang, how did you become a sixth-rank eunuch?"

Zhang Qilin sighed, "It's a long story. A simple description is that when I was eight years old, I was assigned to Kunning Palace to serve Hongzhu. Although it is a precious place, eunuchs come and go. , I don’t want to stay long, and I will be the only one left in a short time. Empress Xiaocheng’s three-year sacrifice, I was promoted to eighth rank, Empress Xiaozhao’s conferment ceremony, I was promoted to seventh rank, and Empress Xiaozhao’s three-year sacrifice, I was promoted to sixth rank Taste……"

Su Wei and Xiao Erge looked at each other for two seconds, then looked back at Zhang Qilin, this person... Is it fate, or fate, or fate?

Palace of Yanxi Palace Chengfei Office

Mrs. Hesheli smiled and sipped tea, while Concubine Cheng twisted her handkerchief, with a slight impatience on her face, "My sister came to my place today, what's the matter?"

Hesheli put down the teacup, "What can my sister do, but I'm bored, come to visit my sister. Why, my sister doesn't welcome you?"

Cheng Concubine smiled condescendingly, "How could it be, it's just that Brother Qi will enter the palace to pay his respects later, I'm thinking about it."

"So that's how it is," Hesheli said with a smile, "The seventh elder brother has moved to the palace for a few months, but he lives alone in the Ganxi No. [-] house. It's a bit empty, not as lively as the four elder brothers in the East No. [-] house."

Concubine Cheng nodded, "That's not true, but, after all, Brother Six lived in the empty yard of the East Fifth Institute, and I can't let Brother Seven move there. Who can say for sure about the dysentery."

"Sister is considerate." Hesheli poured a cup of tea for Concubine Cheng, "The seventh elder brother was brought up by the concubine, and his body is extraordinarily precious. If you want to wait for the eighth elder brother to move to West Fifth, the two of you can be a good couple." Companion."

"That's not it," Cheng Concubine picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip, "Eighth elder brother is here with Concubine Hui, I often see him, he is a smart boy, seventh elder brother is with him, I am also relieved."

Hesheli looked out of the window and said in a slightly lowered voice, "Sister is really an honest person. My sister heard from the imperial concubine that Concubine Hui recommended the eighth elder brother to accompany the holy driver. I don't know how many the emperor will take with him on his tour outside the Great Wall this year. Brother..."

Concubine Cheng forced a smile, and put down the teacup, "It's windy and dusty outside the Great Wall, so what's the use of going out and making a fuss?"

Hesheli wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "It's nothing good, not to mention Brother Seven has a leg problem, and he would suffer if he went out. If it weren't for the importance that Concubine Hui attached to her elder sister, she wouldn't have only recommended Eighth Brother." Brother."

Concubine Cheng was silent for a moment, then raised her head and smiled at Hesheli, "Elder Brother Seven was by Concubine Hui's side when he was a child, Concubine Hui liked her very much. Now that she has done this, it must be for Yinyou's benefit. Besides, I am also a person with status, whether or not the Seventh Elder Brother goes on tour with the Emperor is not entirely up to Concubine Hui to decide."

Hesheli sat up straight, "Since my sister thinks this way, it's the best. In fact, my sister, I just mentioned it casually. Since the seventh elder brother is coming to pay his respects, my sister won't bother me."

Concubine Cheng nodded, watching Hesheli's family walk out of the palace gate, going farther and farther...

"Your Majesty..." The maid Shaoyao approached her, but she was taken aback by Cheng's concubine's darkening face, "Mother, don't listen to Hershey's nonsense, she is the most provocative person."

Cheng Concubine lowered her head, "I know, I know better than anyone else the affection Concubine Hui has for me. Go down, I've got a headache from being disturbed, and I want to lie down for a while."

"My servant is waiting for you," Shao Yao stepped forward, but was glared at by Concubine Cheng, "I told you to go down, don't you understand?"

Shao Yao lowered her head, "I know my mistake..."

Cheng Concubine turned and walked into the bedroom alone, sat on the bed, looked out the window at the courtyard of Yanxi Palace, feeling so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.Since when, her every move, every thought and action can't be controlled at all.

Respect room

In the past few days, Su Wei took advantage of the shift time to hang around the respect room from time to time, and learned more about the respect room by taking monthly records, checking account books and other reasons.Running errands for Liu Jiao and his father-in-law could no longer be delayed.Reflection after a board meal made Su Wei deeply realize his lack of strength.

The Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty and strictly managed the eunuchs. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the eunuch institutions in the late Ming Dynasty were abolished, the number of eunuchs in the palace was reduced from [-] to [-], and the number of eunuchs in each palace was strictly controlled.During the time of Lord Shunzhi, the eunuchs in the palace had jobs but no rank. In the Kangxi Dynasty, Lord Kangxi set up a respect room, and only then did the eunuchs increase their ranks one after another.The highest rank in the palace is the Chief Consultant of the Respect Room, the only fifth-rank eunuch.

During the few days of strolling in the respect room, Su Wei met many people, and by the way, he also found out the general structure of the respect room.The general manager, Eunuch Gu, mostly served in front of the imperial court, and six deputy chief managers were responsible for the daily affairs of the respect room.Deputy Manager Zhao, who was in charge of dispatching personnel, had two chief eunuchs under his command, one of whom was Zhou Gonggong, who had a close relationship with Jia Jinlu, and the other was Wang, who was the master Wei Tu followed when he was in the respect room.

After weighing it over and over again, Su Wei secretly found Deputy Manager Zhao and stuffed two 50 taels of silver ingots. Deputy Manager Zhao accepted the silver and asked him to go back and wait for news.

Yanxi Palace

Shao Yao knelt in front of Concubine Hui, and described the conversation between Hesheli and Concubine Cheng in detail.

Concubine Hui hung up the powdered tea, "You've done a good job, go down later to receive the reward."

"Yes, Concubine Xie Hui." Shao Yao kowtowed, turned and walked out.

Yinliu stepped forward to change the pot of hot water for Concubine Hui, "Your Majesty, Concubine Cheng still knows what's cold and what's hot, and she won't be bewitched by Hesheli at all."

Concubine Hui laughed, "This man has a small heart, especially when it comes to children, how can he not care?"

Yinliu frowned, "Your Majesty means..."

Concubine Hui looked outside the door, "If Concubine Cheng didn't react at all, Shaoyao wouldn't have such an expression. For a person who betrayed the old master, what's the use of having a little conscience?"

Yinliu took two steps forward, "Then...do you want your servant to go to the East Chamber to inquire again?"

Concubine Hui shook her head, "Suo'etu is back up, and Prime Minister Ming is under attack from both sides. At this time, the harem can no longer cause disturbances. Go and ask, where the emperor has been resting for the past few nights."

"Yes," Yinliu leaned over to accept the order.

Sho San Institute

When Su Wei came back from the respect room, it was already dark, and bursts of laughter came from the fourth brother's bedroom. Su Wei stopped to listen, and it was Zhang Qilin who was telling a story. It was not a famous book, but a story in the market. The fourth elder brother laughed out loud.

Su Wei stood outside the window and looked at him. He was making eye contact with the fourth elder brother. Su Wei bowed to the fourth elder brother and turned back to his room.

Early the next morning, when Su Wei was sleepy, someone opened the door and came in, ran to Su Wei's bed and threw off the quilt.

"Ah!" Su Wei covered himself subconsciously, and then realized that this is not the time for him to hang his ass, "Master? Why did you come in?"

The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes and smiled, "Put on your clothes quickly, and I will take you to a place today."

"Where?" Su Wei tilted his head, he has never been to any place in this palace, as for such a big commotion?

"Don't ask, you'll know in a while, get dressed!" The fourth elder brother waved his hand, turned around and walked out of Su Wei's hut quickly.

Su Wei put on his clothes in a daze, and followed the fourth elder brother out of the elder brother's office, accompanied by Namutu, Songgan and eight guards.Along the way, the fourth elder brother was very happy, walking as if he was about to fly, and Su Wei looked more and more inexplicable.

They walked through the Imperial Garden, passed the Shunzhen Gate, and arrived in front of the Shenwu Gate, only then did Su Wei realize where the fourth elder brother was going to take him.

This is clearly the rhythm of going out of the palace...
