When King Liang Chu Boyu came out of the palace, he met Eunuch Hou who was waiting outside.

"Prince Liang, please come out." Eunuch Hou greeted Chu Boyu with a smile on his face.

Chu Boyu naturally did not dare to ignore the Eunuch Hou Sizhenghou. Although he had been kind to him in the early years, it was because of some inexplicable reasons. Although he no longer cared about it.

Things have gone wrong, but this Eunuch Hou still remembers the kindness from back then.

"Eunuch Hou, you are still here." Chu Boyu replied politely.

"Aren't we waiting for you, Prince Liang?" Eunuch Hou walked up to Chu Boyu with a smile, and then took out a brocade box from his sleeve. The box was small and slender, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

something.

"I know that Your Majesty is very fond of these things. I just happened to see a good thing, so I asked my boys to buy it. I thought I would send it to your house after today. Who would have thought that you would be here so early in the morning?"

So I came to the palace, and I just saved the old slave from sending someone to run away. This thing is very valuable, and I don't trust those boys. They don't have any sense in their hands, and it will be bad if they touch it."

After saying that, Hou Sizheng put the brocade box in his hand into Chu Boyu's hand.

Chu Boyu was not surprised by this. After all, every month of every year, Hou Sizheng would send something to Prince Liang's Mansion, some of which were rare objects, some of which were delicacies and game, and some of which were weird things that came as tribute from surrounding vassal countries.

Chu Boyu opened the brocade box in front of Hou Sizheng. A simple and flawless folding fan lay quietly in the box. The folding fan was dark brown in color and exuded a faint fragrance. There was also a little tassel hanging from the tail, which added some uniqueness to the folding fan.

Such an atmosphere.

Chu Boyu naturally knew that this fan was a good thing, so he couldn't help but take it out of the brocade box, opened the folding fan, and the long fragrance hit his face.

The front of the fan reads "Yi Qi Xiao Qi" and the back of the fan reads "Guarding the Frontier".

"Your Majesty, these words are the handwriting of the calligrapher of the previous dynasty." Hou Sizheng saw that Chu Boyu liked it, and he was determined in his heart, so he continued, "And this fan bone is made of fine submerged-grade agarwood. Peace of mind

It has the effect of calming the mind and preserving the appearance.”

Chu Boyu naturally liked it wholeheartedly, but when he heard Hou Sizheng say that the handwriting was the handwriting of the previous calligrapher, he naturally knew the value of this fan.

"Eunuch Hou, this is quite valuable. Do I have it?"

I can't bear it." Chu Boyu said such words, but did not show any sign of returning the folding fan to Hou Sizheng.

Hou Sizheng naturally knew that what Chu Boyu said was a lie, so he did not refute it. Instead, he smiled and said to Chu Boyu: "There is nothing I can't bear. It's nothing like the time when you saved my life, my lord."

Compared to that, this little thing is nothing."

When Eunuch Hou first came into power, he aroused jealousy. Later, he was framed by other eunuchs in the harem. According to the rules, Eunuch Hou should be beaten with a cane for forty years and then expelled from the palace. As a prince at that time, Chu Boyu was only twelve years old.

Years old, but with a momentum and attitude beyond his current age, he saved Eunuch Hou's life.

This is why Hou Sizheng is so grateful to Chu Boyu.

But who can know what happened behind this incident?

In the thirty-first year of Yuanzhen, the third prince Chu Boyu was twelve years old. At that time, Chu Boxiong, the prince, was twenty-four years old, and Chu Boyu's other concubine's brother Chu Mingfeng was also twenty-three years old.

At that time, the prince Chu Boxiong had just come to power, and the courtiers lined up to confront the second prince Chu Mingfeng tit for tat. The former emperor Chu Yunxiao was seriously ill and had no control over the affairs of the court. He was only worried about the future of his youngest son Chu Boyu.

He will be poisoned by his two brothers. After all, the royal family has no relatives, and any family ties are meaningless in the face of power.

So Chu Yunxiao used various means to help an eunuch go up, which made other people hate the eunuch. Finally, he instigated Chu Boyu to save the eunuch who was sentenced to the imperial rod, so that the other eunuch would be grateful to his little son, and he would be better in the future.

During the battle for the crown prince, he saved Chu Boyu's life.

Don't underestimate the trusted eunuchs around the emperor. They can always play an unexpected role at critical moments. Chu Boyu knows this very well. He is very grateful for what Chu Yunxiao instructed him to do, which will also make him better in the future.

He saved a place in the war and even saved his life.

But Hou Sizheng didn't know that what happened to him that year and Chu Boyu's stepping forward to save him at the critical moment were all planned by the late emperor, and he really thought that Chu Boyu couldn't stand the other people in the palace.

He helped himself with his face and was full of justice.

When Chu Boyu heard Hou Sizheng mentioning what happened back then, he didn't have much reaction. After all, in his opinion, he was just doing it in full compliance with his father's instructions.

"Don't mention what happened back then again."

How did Hou Sizheng know the inside story? He simply thought that King Liang in front of him was just indifferent to fame and fortune and did not like

I am just ahead of schedule for what happened back then.

"In the eyes of the prince, it is indeed a small matter, but in the eyes of the old slave, it is a really big deal. It is not an exaggeration to say that the old slave's life was given to him by King Liang."

Chu Boyu chuckled, but did not say anything. Instead, he concentrated on playing with the folding fan he had just received from Hou Sizheng.

Hou Sizheng knew that this was a sign that Prince Liang did not want to continue talking, so he bowed his hands and said, "Then I won't disturb the prince anymore."

After saying that, Hou Sizheng quietly retreated.

After Chu Boyu saw Hou Sizheng leaving, he also left here, but he was not walking towards the outside of the palace, but towards the palace of the eldest prince Chu Zizhan.

There were little eunuchs waiting outside the palace, but when they saw Chu Boyu coming, they wanted to go in and pass the news, but they were stopped by Chu Boyu, and then asked the little eunuch: "What is the eldest prince doing?"

"King Huiliang, the eldest prince..." The little eunuch looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

The sounds in the palace did not confuse Chu Boyu for long, and soon Chu Boyu knew what Chu Zizhan was doing - he was smashing things.

The sound of "ping ping ping ping pong" hitting things came from the palace. After Chu Boyu heard it, he naturally guessed what Chu Zizhan was doing. He couldn't help but shook his head, and then waved to the waiting little eunuch,

After signaling him not to report, Chu Boyu went directly into Chu Zizhan's palace.

The bedroom was very large, and the sound of Chu Zizhan throwing things came from a room not far away.

"First Prince, why are you so angry?" Chu Boyu dodged a piece of colorful porcelain that Chu Zizhan threw out the door. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue with regret and said, "Don't throw it away again, what a wonderful colored porcelain."

ah."

When Chu Zizhan saw someone talking at the door, he stopped moving, put the bronze horse he was about to throw out on the table, and then raised his eyes to look outside.

"It turns out that the emperor's uncle is here." Chu Zizhan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then shouted to the little eunuch at the door, "Come here, please clean up this room for me."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room and said to Chu Boyu: "Uncle Emperor, let's go to the study and let the servants clean it first."
