Chapter 44 The Special Function of the Steadfast Emperor

The eunuch system was abolished only after Hulu got married, and at that time there were already not a few eunuchs working inside and outside the palace.

He is not easy to cut across the board. Some of them left the palace and made their own way with the support of the royal family, while some stayed in the front palace as servants. Except that they could not enter and leave the harem, they were no different from the time of the late emperor.

Xiao Shen was standing in front of the Tai Chi Hall in a daze. An old eunuch with white hair and white beard next to him called twice, and then he woke up.

"What are you thinking about, Mr. Prime Minister?" the old eunuch bent down and asked, his voice very penetrating. He was the one who opened the court meeting by shouting "If there is something to do, go back to court if there is nothing to do".

"Oh, Eunuch Wei," Xiao Shen rubbed his eyebrows, "Yes, I am thinking about the emperor's childhood. Although His Majesty was young at that time, he acted maturely and had a steady style. He showed the demeanor of a heroic leader in every aspect."

"Did Your Majesty make the Prime Minister angry again?" the old eunuch asked with a smile.

Xiao Shen shook his head, "No, it's just that the emperor has found a new direction in life. I just feel regretful and a little hesitant."

He is wondering whether the transition of the country to a dynasty can be smooth if the emperor completely puts down the government, and whether this will become a landmark event that marks the decline of the Fushou dynasty.

Not far away, Lin Xiaotian was preparing to leave the palace, accompanied by Liu Lang and Qi Lang. They walked very slowly. Lin Xiaotian stopped and walked, looking at the imperial city curiously, and asking questions from time to time.

For example, who built this palace and how many years it took to build it.

"The old man stopped us by asking us how old we are, so we only know a little bit about it. You see there is an old eunuch in front of you, why not ask him."

Just after watching Xiao Shen leave, Eunuch Wei was stopped by Lin Xiaotian again, and Jiulang briefly introduced this person's identity.

"Hey, old god!" Eunuch Wei looked very excited.

Lin Xiaotian pressed his hands and said, "Don't be so loud, little father-in-law, let me ask you, when and who built this palace?"

"Oh, this was built under the supervision of Lord Wan Jia, and it was only completed thirty years ago."

It turned out to be a newly built palace. Lin Xiaotian asked again, "I think the location of this palace in the entire capital is not right. Why is this?"

"The old god's vision is really accurate," Eunuch Wei said flatteringly. "There is a good story about the location of the new palace..."

At that time, Emperor Wanjia had just begun to be interested in cultivating immortals. One day, he climbed up in the palace and looked into the distance. He saw a purple aura lingering in the east of the capital. He exclaimed that the purple aura was coming from the east, which was a sign of good luck.

In addition, the palace at that time was in disrepair and suffered another water leak. Emperor Wanjia simply re-planned and built a new palace with a larger area on the land to the east.

It's just that the new palace was a huge project, and Emperor Wanjia couldn't insist on moving in, but it was an advantage to his son, Emperor Yonghui, Hulu's father.

An emperor who carried on the past and ushered in the future without accomplishing much.

After listening to the old eunuch's explanation, Lin Xiaotian looked at the large magic circle built around the palace and had a guess in his mind. This was probably arranged by some wise people ordered by Emperor Wanjia.

I just looked and looked, but I didn't see any purple energy or auspiciousness in this place.

Is it because my qi-gazing technique is too rudimentary?

Alas, time waits for no one. We must use the whip at Rokuro and Kuro. Hurry up and find someone for me!

Hulu asked Yingzi to send little girl Cai Xin to settle down in the harem, while he himself returned to Sixiang Hall.

At first Cai Xin refused to agree, saying that as a housewife, she had to faithfully record His Majesty's every word and deed.

Hulu laughed and said, "You only need to record what I did in the harem. There are professional historians in the front hall to record my words and deeds. They are all your great-grandfather's disciples and grandsons."

After persuading the persistent living lady to leave, Hulu closed the doors and windows. He was the only one left in the palace, and even the four palace ladies were outside.

He first checked his Luyuan Fairy Bottle and put a drop of it on the five-year-old ginseng.

As a result, only one drop came out and then no more. The ginseng shook and seemed to grow.

It seems that only one drop can be produced every day, so it should be stored for a while.

Then he took out the secret jade talisman from the first chapter of "Qi-Inducing Technique" and prepared to practice.

As a steady emperor, he also thought about whether there might be any evil intentions in this technique, but his intuition told him that this technique was not fatal.

Hulu's intuition is very accurate. Yingzi always says that he has eyes in the back of his head. In fact, he has the ability to predict life dangers since he was in the womb.

For example, before the birth, he predicted that his birth would not go smoothly. Sure enough, his birth mother had a difficult delivery. He was still in the belly at the time, and his little arms and legs could not help, so he could only call his mother to come on.

Fortunately, Chunyu Feihong, the daughter of Imperial Physician Chunyu, was in the palace at that time. With her professional help, mother and son were safe, weighing nine pounds and one tael.

Later, there were several times that confirmed his ability to perceive danger, such as the death of the prince, the Northern Expedition to Aotunbu and other wars.

However, this ability is only for life and death disasters, and some non-fatal injuries cannot be prevented.

Touching the jade tablet, he knew that this technique was not fatal, so it was worth taking the risk.

Although this recipe is obscure, Hu Lu was a literary master after all. He not only knew how to copy official documents, but also read poetry and books since he was a child. He was also a Qilin'er in the eyes of the imperial tutors, and he also wrote a story-telling novel.

After understanding the meaning, he started to move his breath according to the instructions in the exercise. He was also a martial arts practitioner, so these things couldn't stop him.

On this day, Hu Lu stayed in the Four Elephants Hall to study, ate lunch and dinner here, and even didn't want to leave at night. He enjoyed the fun of cultivation alone, but he didn't know how lively the harem was at this time.

In the harem, Ao Tunying brought the thin and small Cai Xin, and was immediately noticed by the group of three, four, and five headed by the third princess.

"Sister Yingzi, who is she?" Hu Wuyou asked.

"Oh, this is Sister Cai Xin, she is the historian."

Hu Wuyou tilted his head and asked, "Who cares about shit?"

Before Cai Xin had time to explain, Jixiang and Ruyi began to accuse each other.

"Sister Shi Guan, Ji Xiang didn't wash his hands after taking a poop."

"Sister Shiguan, Ruyi pooped and tore the paper!"

Ao Tunying hurriedly covered the mouths of the three stinky children, "Miss Cai is really sorry. I didn't expect them to think so. How did you say that?"

Cai Xin: “Unexpected?”

"Let's not talk about shit, I'm talking about childish talk!" Yingzi kicked the third princess on the butt and asked her to play with her sisters.

However, Cai Xin stopped them, knelt down and patiently explained what the historian did. Hu Wuyou seemed to understand, and Ji Xiang Ruyi almost meant it.

So Cai Xin made an analogy, "My job is to record your words and deeds. For example, let future generations know that the fourth princess did not wash her hands after getting pregnant, and the fifth princess likes to pick out torn paper."

Now they understood, and Hu Wuyou looked at Cai Xin with eyes full of awe.

Fortunately she came late, otherwise wouldn't future generations know about her painting a beard on poppies, putting frogs in the joy drawer, being chased all over the palace by her eldest sister, and even losing her pants?

"Jixiang Ruyi, who are you talking to?" At this time, the graceful and noble Concubine Xiao Guoer came over.

(ps: I feel like the male protagonist’s golden finger hinted at it earlier, but it’s not very obvious. It’s a bit hard to insert now. Please forgive me. I can’t delay it any longer. If I delay it any longer, it’s like a temporary bug~
