A young eunuch was looking over his shoulder. He didn't turn around until Liu Zhan and Yu Qianzhi's oxcart had gone away.
The guard guarding the door was wearing red clothes. According to the Dazheng system, he was ranked ninth grade. It seemed that he was just promoted from the apprenticeship. Seeing him like this, because he was familiar with him, he couldn't help teasing him: "I said, Mr. Xiaodouzi, you are so
What errand are you on? Why are you here looking around?"
Xiaodouzi glanced at him and shook his head: "It's better that you don't know."
As he spoke, he turned around and rushed inward. Even if the guards sneered at him behind him, he ignored them.
According to the rules of the palace, eunuchs and maids are not allowed to make loud noises, look around, or run around without any reason when performing errands in the palace. Otherwise, they will be severely punished according to the palace rules.
This is a rule that has been passed down from the previous dynasty and will continue to be used in this dynasty.
Therefore, those who serve people in the palace, whether eunuchs or maids, have all learned a skill, which is to walk normally, but they walk like wind. Xiaodouzi returned from the palace gate to the outside of the hall, which is half the time of the incense stick.
Less than.
No one needed to go out of his way to tell me, because I was on duty in the temple today, so I went in directly.
"Your Majesty, Master Liu, Master Yu, Master Huo and Eunuch Chen have all left. Master Huo left the palace and went straight to the alchemy place. Eunuch Chen returned to his residence. Master Liu and Master Yu left the palace together and went to the palace gate.
At that time, they only exchanged a few words, and then they didn't meet each other again, and they left in separate oxcarts."
After the young eunuch Jianshengsheng reported the situation of the four people when they went out, he stepped aside and did not dare to speak anymore. He was the newly adopted son of Eunuch Zhao, so he had the opportunity to serve him, so he did not dare to say anything.
The emperor calmly recited "Yu Qianzhi" in a low voice, stood up and walked slowly, suddenly turned to look at Eunuch Zhao, and asked quietly: "Back then, this person seemed to be involved in the prince's affairs?"
Eunuch Zhao replied with a low eyebrow: "Yes, but Mr. Yu was still young back then and didn't find out much."
"That's right." The emperor nodded lightly: "I haven't found much, but now that I am presented with this treasure from the imperial mausoleum, I feel a little emotional."
After sighing softly, Eunuch Zhao was horrified.
I immediately knew that the emperor was suspicious, and I also knew that the page that the emperor had just torn out might have a lot to do with what the emperor had in mind about the prince.
He knew the emperor's character very well.
Once Yu Qianzhi was connected with the emperor and the prince, it would be dangerous no matter whether Yu Qianzhi looked at it or even changed the contents of the yellow silk bag.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the emperor ask again: "It is said that Princess Dai gave birth to a heir apparent?"
Eunuch Zhao quickly replied: "Yes."
Someone had reported this matter just now, but the emperor suddenly asked it again. It was really unusual. However, Eunuch Zhao only responded. Why did he ask such a question and not take care of it.
Glancing at the emperor, Eunuch Zhao joked in a relaxed tone: "Your Majesty, there is a new member of the clan. This is a great joy!"
"In the tens of thousands of years since the great Zheng Dynasty, it has been necessary to have many children and grandchildren, so that the foundation of the country can be stable."
The emperor listened calmly, suddenly stretched his eyebrows, and took off a piece of jade pendant: "This is indeed a good thing. Please go there on my behalf, and I will reward the king with this piece of jade pendant, and then get some jewelry and silk from the palace to reward the king."
Princess, when it comes to Zhou Yue, I and the Queen will still have a big reward."
After saying that, he added: "I will go and tell the queen now. I believe the queen will be very happy. You don't have to follow me. Just go on errands."
As he was about to stand up, Eunuch Zhao felt something in his heart. He knelt down and took the jade pendant, saying, "Yes, I'll go right now."
Even if they didn't agree with each other, they couldn't help but look at each other, Ma Shunde, who was not far away, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes. This jade pendant was not too rare, but it was given to the emperor by Emperor Taizu himself, and the emperor never left it.
The body is now going to be rewarded to the king.
There is no small matter in the Tian family, and the two of them are considered high-ranking eunuchs in the palace. But at this moment, they can't help but tremble. No one can guess what the emperor is thinking.
"The emperor's heart is really unpredictable. Not long ago, the emperor was doubting the king and snubbing the king. Why did he suddenly change?"
"If you say it's because of the crown prince, the emperor wasn't very happy when he heard about it just now?"
Eunuch Zhao couldn't figure it out, and it had nothing to do with him for the time being, but Ma Shunde's heart sank and he felt depressed.
Before, I was rude to Dai Wang, not because I felt that Dai Wang had no future.
Not to mention the reserves, even the holy relatives may not really have many.
But now, the emperor's heart is fickle, and he seems to be turning around in a blink of an eye. If he had known this, why would he have had a grudge against the king?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have made this slave miserable!"
Ma Shunde was complaining in his heart, but Eunuch Zhao was thinking that there might be something else going on.
"Could it be that the emperor wants to use the acting king as a whetstone again?"
"But now that the King of Qi has been deposed, there is only one King of Shu left. Where is the need for a whetstone?"
"What if the King of Shu is damaged..."
This idea was a bit rebellious, and Eunuch Zhao did not dare to continue thinking about it. In reality, he and Ma Shunde just looked at each other and bowed their heads.
The emperor said directly to Ma Shunde: "Follow me to the queen's house."
"Yes." After being angered and being assigned errands by the emperor, Ma Shunde naturally followed.
Eunuch Zhao turned around to prepare gifts, went to the Prince Dai's Mansion to congratulate him, and reward the Princess Dai. What should be rewarded and how much should be rewarded? The emperor did not need to personally intervene in these matters. There were customs that could be checked.
As long as the emperor doesn't mention it separately, it will be based on the previous reward specifications.
"If the emperor is really happy, but when the prince had a son, the emperor personally saw the additions to the gift list. Now he rewards the acting king with a jade pendant, but the reward is just according to the specifications without any intervention. Is this happy or unhappy?"
Shaking his head, Eunuch Zhao was a little confused now and simply ignored him.
queen's place
The sky was getting a little dark, and a drizzle was falling in the dusk. The palace people were putting on the palace lanterns. The queen was rarely in the mood. She played the piano by herself, while the morning glow waited on her. When the piano fell, the female official was happy with the morning glow, and she performed a blessing ceremony solemnly.
He bowed his head and said to the queen: "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress. I have confirmed that Princess Dai has indeed given birth to a heir apparent."
"What? Did you really give birth to a son safely?" The queen loosened her hands and finally breathed out heavily. For some reason, she was extra concerned about Princess Dai: "How is Princess Dai's situation?"
The female officer Zhaoxia kept saying, "My dearest lady, the princess is fine. Mother and son are both safe."
"That's good, that's good." Seeing the congratulations from the palace people, the queen stood up, relaxed her eyebrows, and said: "Today the king has a son. This is a great event. Zhaoxia, please go to my private treasury.
, take a thousand taels of silver, and everyone in this palace will be rewarded, and everyone will be rewarded!"
"yes!"
Everyone is rewarded, these words naturally make people happy, and the congratulatory tone of the palace people becomes more sincere. The queen has long been accustomed to this, and it is not surprising that these palace people are like this.
At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "The emperor has arrived——"
