After Hu Xiaotian left the palace, he went directly to Yongyang Palace. Since the emperor had given this place to him as a wedding room, it was natural for him to live here. As for the original Shangshu Palace, the old emperor did not say that he wanted to go back anyway, so he simply
Accepting it all, it's worth letting this old turtle in Hongbeimo spend a little more effort.
The sign of Yongyang Palace is still there, and the person in charge there is still Quan De'an. Seeing Hu Xiaotian coming alone, Quan De'an went up to greet him and said: "Master Hu is back."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, pointed to the plaque of Yongyang Palace and said: "There is no need to pick it up for the time being. The emperor has given this place to me and the princess to live after we get married."
Quan De'an was startled when he heard this. It seemed that Hu Xiaotian's trip to the palace was quite fruitful. He could actually make the emperor take back his life. In Quan De'an's view, Hu Xiaotian must be a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.
Do you know what the purpose is?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan, go and prepare the bath water for me. I will take a hot bath. I smell of alcohol all over my body."
Quan De'an responded, cursing secretly in his heart. This guy has not yet become the consort and he is already arrogantly tormenting him. If he waits until he gets married, wouldn't he have to look at his face every day? But then he thinks about it, which is helpless.
Regarding the matter, I was originally a eunuch who served others.
Quan De'an helped Hu Xiaotian prepare bath water and was about to leave, but Hu Xiaotian stopped him and said: "Eunuch Quan, don't leave in a hurry, let's have a chat."
Quan De'an was a little surprised and said: "Now?"
Hu Xiaotian had already taken off his clothes behind the screen and entered the hot water naked. He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Eunuch Quan, the princess and I are about to get married. Speaking of which, we are no longer outsiders."
Quan De'an whispered: "Thank you, sir, for looking up to me." Thinking that the boy who was submissive in front of him at the beginning has now transformed into his master. Quan De'an can only sigh at the changes in the world and the twists and turns of fate.
Hu Xiaotian said: "At least on one point our goals are the same." He paused and then said: "You and I are very concerned about Your Highness, and we don't want her to suffer any injustice."
Quan De'an had no objection to this and said softly: "Seeing that the Lord cares so much about His Highness, I feel relieved."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan should remember the time when we met, right?"
How could Quan De'an not remember that if he hadn't met Hu Xiaotian and his entourage at Lanruo Temple, I'm afraid he and Qiqi would have died in that barren mountain. It was Hu Xiaotian who helped him remove his injured right leg, and it was Hu Xiaotian who removed Qiqi.
Safely escorted to Xiezhou.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan was once an emperor and a courtier. I remember that you and Ji Feihua fought to the death. It was because of your threat that I pretended to be an eunuch and entered the palace."
Quan De'an coughed and said: "This old slave was blind and did a lot of things that I'm sorry to you. I hope you will ignore the past and don't be like this old slave."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You also wanted to protect His Highness. Besides, you did help me a lot back then. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will never forget the benefits that Eunuch Quan has given me."
Quan De'an pondered in his mind whether what this guy said was ironic.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The person who understands Qiqi best in the world is you."
Quan De'an said: "I don't dare to be a slave."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although I don't know what happened in the past, Qiqi has grown up under your care since childhood. Without you, it is difficult to imagine how a girl who lost her mother in infancy would grow up.
.Now that she can take charge of her own business, Eunuch Quan must be very happy."
Quan De'an said: "That's all because His Highness is talented and intelligent. I don't dare to take credit."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan can't take care of her for the rest of her life. I'm afraid you are powerless in some matters."
Quan De'an coughed and said: "The old slave is already declining and his time is running out. Fortunately, Your Highness will have adults to take care of him in the future."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hong Beimo pushed Longting Town into front of people at this time. What do you think his intention was?"
Quan De'an said cautiously: "I don't dare to speak nonsense about the important matters of the imperial court."
Hu Xiaotian said: "This Yongyang Palace used to belong to Longting Town. Today I asked the Emperor to get it back, and the Emperor agreed to restore His Highness to the throne."
Quan De'an said: "In that case, I would like to congratulate you, sir."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan has been in the palace for so many years, and he should have a good understanding of the emperor's thoughts. You should also understand why the emperor called me back this time."
Quan De'an said nothing.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Today in the palace, the emperor proposed that I should stay in Kangdu after getting married. He said that he wanted me to spend more time with His Highness, but his intention was to weaken my military power and make Yongjiang Navy subordinate.
It peeled off in my hands."
Quan De'an still didn't speak.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dongliang County is the fiefdom of His Highness. Everything I do is actually for His Highness."
Quan De'an said: "Your Highness will definitely understand your painstaking efforts, otherwise she would not agree to marry you."
Hu Xiaotian keenly noticed that Quan De'an used the word "downward marriage" here. In the heart of this old eunuch, he was still not worthy of Qiqi. Hu Xiaotian said: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please come in and rub my back."
Quan De'an responded. Although he knew clearly that Hu Xiaotian was ordering him on purpose, he still had to obey. He walked around the screen and came behind Hu Xiaotian to rub his back. Looking at the back of Hu Xiaotian's neck, he thought to himself, this guy is doing something to us.
Don't worry, if we make a surprise attack from behind, wouldn't we be able to slap him to death?
Hu Xiaotian closed his eyes and said: "My father-in-law lost to me ten years of inner strength. This gift is not light."
Quan De'an forced out a smile and said, "Sir, do you still regret this matter?"
"A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise? If it weren't for the internal strength my father-in-law gave me, I would have died in this frightening palace long ago. Fortunately, I'm lucky, and now this matter no longer poses a threat to me."
Quan De'an said: "My Lord's broad-mindedness puts this old slave to shame."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I always believe that there are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world. You need a motive to do anything. What is good for you may be bad for others. Eunuch Quan did so many things back then, and now
It seems that the most fundamental purpose is to safeguard the interests of the princess."
Quan De'an pursed his lips and had to say that Hu Xiaotian really understood him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have also done a lot of things. I once did things that were both overt and underhanded to my father-in-law, and I even tried to please Ji Feihua, but my motive is to live better and how to survive in the cracks. For this purpose
I can do whatever it takes. In order to live forever, the emperor wanted to live as long as heaven and stay young forever, so Hong Beimo was able to do what he wanted and let the emperor trust him so much. Long Tingzhen wanted to become the crown prince, so he was willing to do it
Used by Hong Beimo." At this point, Hu Xiaotian paused and said, "What does Hong Beimo want?"
Quan De'an shook his head and said, "How could I know if I'm not the old slave?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There must be a huge secret hidden in the imperial mausoleum, and what Hong Beimo wants is within it."
Quan De'an said: "The old slave doesn't care about this."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You only care about Qi Qi, but some things will affect her. If you want to protect her, you must eliminate the hidden dangers before they break out."
Quan De'an whispered: "The water seems to be cold. I'm going to get you a bathrobe." The moment he turned around, he heard Hu Xiaotian say again: "Are you familiar with Ling Jiazi?"
Quan De'an stopped and his back seemed to be suddenly frozen there. After a while, he walked out again. He took the bathrobe and said respectfully: "I will help you get dressed."
Hu Xiaotian put on his bathrobe and turned around to look at Quan De'an's expression. Quan De'an was still as calm as before, his eyes unwavering. Hu Xiaotian said: "You should remember the princess back then."
Quan De'an nodded and said: "Of course I remember, she is the biological mother of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I once saw a portrait of her in Yun Temple."
Quan De'an frowned, Yun Temple! Is it the Yun Temple on Piaomiao Mountain?
Hu Xiaotian said: "This portrait was painted by the emperor himself. Do you think this is strange?"
Quan De'an said: "The old slave doesn't think there is anything strange about it."
"Eunuch Quan may not understand the ethics of the world after being in the palace for a long time. Which father-in-law have you ever seen paint a portrait of his daughter-in-law? And he specially keeps it close to him?"
Quan De'an was insulted by Hu Xiaotian in person, but he was still able to bear his temper: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If it reaches the ears of the emperor, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm just a little curious about the former crown princess. What kind of person was she?"
Quan De'an said: "She is already dead, so why bother making a fuss about her? In short, the Crown Princess is extremely intelligent and kind-hearted."
Hu Xiaotian said: "She should be nice to you, otherwise you wouldn't take care of Qiqi so wholeheartedly."
Quan De'an said: "If it were not for the Crown Princess, the old slave would not be alive today."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan can be regarded as a righteous man who repays his kindness. To tell you the truth, what I am most worried about now is the matter of the emperor appointing a crown prince. If Hong Beimo gets what he wants, Longtingzhen will be promoted to crown prince.
position, then the first people Longting Town will deal with after coming to power will be His Highness and me."
Quan De'an said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Your Highness the Princess does not have such great ambitions, and she has never thought about competing with others. Your Highness has already resigned from the throne, so why should you persuade the Emperor to take back his life?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "What did I just say? The person who knows Qiqi best is you, but you will never be the only one."
Quan Dejing and Hu Xiaotian looked at each other quietly.
Hu Xiaotian said: "No one can take away what should belong to her!"
Quan De'an was startled. He didn't believe that Hu Xiaotian would protect Qiqi's interests in this way, but he didn't understand Hu Xiaotian. In Hu Xiaotian's view, if you marry Qiqi, Qiqi is his woman and belongs to Qiqi.
Things naturally belong to him.
