After everyone dispersed, Shen Xuan was left alone with Concubine Xiao. There were also several palace maids and eunuchs in the outer hall who were on duty at any time, but they were the only two in the room.
He stood aside, Concubine Xiao ignored him, and Shen Xuan took a peek...
Okay, it fits the style of men in this world, so Concubine Xiao started to embroider.
After a long time, Shen Xuan realized that this job was really grueling. If Xiao Fei didn't give instructions, he could do nothing, just like standing still.
He would rather have a hearty battle with Jin... He would rather have a hearty battle with the foundation-building monks than waste time here.
However, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, but you can only tell them about them, and you have to hold them in even if you don't want to.
After staying up until noon, Shen Xuan thought he could finally go to eat and relax, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait for Concubine Xiao to eat first.
After he finished eating, when Shen Xuan and the palace maid were lowering their heads to clean up the dishes, Concubine Xiao suddenly said: "The fried salmon was well cooked today, so I'll give it to Xuan'er."
What the hell! I...I'm going to burst.
Shen Xuan was not sure whether Concubine Xiao was joking or deliberately humiliating him, but Concubine Xiao's expression was very serious and it didn't look like she was joking at all.
Is this royal style? Rewarding others with your own leftovers? Shen Xuan didn't even see the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face.
Shen Xuan didn't know that this was actually a normal situation. The palace was well treated and everyone had good food and clothing, but that was only for the nobles in the palace. The ordinary servants only lived a better life than ordinary people. The master rewarded them with their own leftovers. Servant, that is a great honor, not only in the palace, but also in many wealthy families.
Before Concubine Xiao entered the palace, she was the son of a wealthy family. He had watched his mother and father reward their servants in this way since he was a child, and he did not think there was anything wrong with this.
Of course the slaves should be grateful to be able to eat the same food as their masters. It is not an insult but a means of kindness. Didn't you see that the new palace man was so happy that he even forgot to thank him?
After being reminded again, Shen Xuan reluctantly saluted and thanked him. After exiting, Shen Xuan held the plate of fried salmon in both hands, his eyes dull.
Others also thought he was so happy that they all said congratulations and compliments. In fact, Concubine Xiao didn't talk about rewards. His leftovers were also eaten by these servants. But that was different. Talking about rewards alone was just fancy. A certain servant is an attitude.
Concubine Xiao only ate a few bites of the fish, and most of it was still intact. But it was weird that Shen Xuan would eat other men's leftovers. Let's not talk about whether the leftovers themselves are disgusting or not. Being rewarded with leftovers by others It's so insulting.
But he couldn't eat the fish yet, so in desperation, Shen Xuan put the plate of fish on the table for everyone to eat together.
After the master finished eating, it was the slaves' turn to eat. Most of them were leftovers from Concubine Xiao, and there were also two plates of new dishes with relatively ordinary ingredients. Of course, Shen Xuan would only eat those two plates of ordinary new dishes.
But seeing these people happily eating other people's leftovers, Shen Xuan still felt very uncomfortable. Ever since he traveled through time, he has always felt a novel and gorgeous world of cultivation, and the people around him who he came into contact with were all open-mouthed. The magic weapon of keeping silent was such that over time, Shen Xuan forgot that there were ordinary people in this world.
Some of them are still struggling to make ends meet, and many of them are not suitable or have no chance to practice. This incident made him notice the bottom of the world for the first time, and also made him alert. Fortunately, he has seen these now, otherwise he would have As his cultivation continues to improve, he may eventually become the kind of master from the immortal family who treats ordinary people like ants.
Shen Xuan didn't like such an evil old society, but he couldn't change anything. Then he thought about his family's guard servants. He wondered if there was such a thing in his family that rewarded servants with leftovers. If so, You should advise your mother carefully, this kind of thing is too embarrassing, and you should also tell your mother to treat the servants at home better.
Shen Xuan has no ability to change the world, but he can change the people around him, as well as the loyal Miss Shen Gou Sheng. I wonder if she has been treated like this in the Shen family before. It would be too miserable.
Shen Xuan decided to treat her better this time when he went back. He could make up for her first, go to the theater with her, go shopping, eat, drink, chat and so on.
After dinner, Shen Xuan had to go back to Concubine Xiao to pretend to be a puppet, and Concubine Xiao continued to embroider. Shen Xuan even wondered if he had become a master of his sewing machine, and he was embroidering all day long.
Just when Shen Xuan was so bored that he was in a daze, someone came outside, and a palace servant came in to report that Imperial Doctor Yang was here.
After a while, a middle-aged woman about forty years old, with a plump figure and a slight double chin walked in, followed by a eunuch carrying a box behind her.
"Weichen, Yang..."
"No more courtesy."
"Thank you, Concubine Xiao, Daddy."
Shen Xuan had a question mark on his face. This title was too awesome, but he really couldn't fault it.
Doctor Yang took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, walked to Concubine Xiao and said, "I wonder if your condition has gotten better recently. Can I take your pulse first?"
Concubine Xiao showed her wrist, and Doctor Yang put on the silk handkerchief and began to feel the pulse with his eyes closed. After a while, he asked: "The condition seems to be getting worse. I wonder if you have any other symptoms recently."
"this……"
Concubine Xiao looked hesitantly at the eunuch at the door.
Imperial Physician Yang understood what he was thinking and turned around to the eunuch and said, "Why don't this gentleman go to the outer hall to have a cup of tea first?"
The eunuch was a little hesitant when he heard this, but Doctor Yang immediately enlightened him and said, "There is still this palace lady. Don't think too much about it."
As soon as the man left, the room became quiet again. Shen Xuan looked at his nose and heart, concentrating on his background, and then accidentally glanced at it...
I'm going to smoke! I'm going to go blind!
Concubine Xiao was interlocking her fingers with Imperial Physician Yang, who was almost two years older than him, and looking at each other affectionately. In Shen Xuan's eyes, this was clearly the live version of "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore." It seemed that the palace was really scary, Xiao Fei said. A little piece of meat like the concubine is forced to starve to death.
Shen Xuan quickly lowered his head, I don't know, I didn't see anything, I am an old StarCraft player.
The two lingered for a while, muttering something to each other, and then Concubine Xiao ordered: "It's really hot today, Xuan'er, go to Shang Bedroom yourself and ask for a bowl of iced sour plum soup."
Shen Xuan came out of the house and realized the reason why Concubine Xiao changed her slaves. Only those people who were not very smart, or at least not very smart in appearance, could stay. Only fools were left around her. Concubine Xiao's Adultery is not easily seen through.
This is true, but it feels like something is wrong.
Shen Xuan didn't know the location of the sleeping bureau, so he asked a palace boy to lead the way. When the eunuch saw that Shen Xuan had come out, he immediately became restless, wanting to go in but not daring, but this was not what he wanted. Something to worry about.
The palace of Lieyang Kingdom is so big that you can walk on the road for several minutes without seeing anyone. Although there is no one there, Shen Xuan still has to follow the palace maid in front and walk along the wall. This is also the rule. In the middle of the avenue is For the nobles to go.
After turning the corner, Shen Xuan saw a really noble man. There was a team of four people carrying chairs and sedan chairs. There were two people on the left and right who were fanning fans and holding fruit plates. Sitting on the chair sedan was an 11-13-year-old man. , little Shota is taking a nap.
The palace maid next to Shen Xuan from all the way pulled him to a stop. They waited until the chair and sedan approached before they saluted together and said, "I wish you good health, Mr. Zheng."
When they walked away, Shen Xuan looked at their backs and asked, "What is the identity of this noble Zheng?"
The palace servant looked at him strangely and said, "Guiren Zheng is Guiren Zheng. The one who just entered the palace last year seems to be the second son of Lord Minister Zheng."
Wait! Shen Xuan has understood a little bit. This "noble person" does not seem to mean a noble person, but refers to the status level of a man in the harem, which is the same as a queen or a noble concubine?
Ahhh! Gong Ruyue, you are not a human being! You actually drove a big car with a child! At this moment, Gong Ruyue's image completely collapsed in Shen Xuan's heart.
Shen Xuan's voice trembled and he asked in disbelief: "Then...he and the emperor are...they have..."
The palace maid seemed to be trying to hold back his illness. He looked around and pulled Shen Xuan closer, and said mysteriously in a low voice: "You have just entered the palace and there are some things you don't know yet. What will I say next?" If it comes out of my mouth and goes into your ears, you must never talk about it in front of others, otherwise we will both be in trouble."
Seeing how mysterious he was, Shen Xuan also solemnly promised that nothing would be spread.
"Actually, the emperor has never stayed in the palace of any nobleman, nor has he ever summoned a nobleman to attend his bed. On weekdays, he hardly even visits. Only at some festival banquets does the emperor meet with his concubines. Rumor has it that the Emperor actually has a disease in his body and is no longer humane."
Only then did Shen Xuan feel a little more comfortable. Being sick was easier for others to accept than the ultimate idiot. After listening to Gong Ruyue's gossip, Shen Xuan became interested in other palace secrets and asked him to tell more.
"If there are a lot of secrets in the palace, let's talk about Zhen Huan and Concubine Zhen. A few days ago, someone said that the sachet he gave to Concubine Hua was filled with poison that can make men sick. The cause is said to be Concubine Hua called Concubine Zhen a slut and hypocritical behind her back. Although it was not found out whether it was him or not, Concubine Zhen also became a nun in order to prove her innocence."
"Ah this..."
"And Ulala Ruyi, wasn't he falsely accused of using witchcraft last year to kill people and curse the emperor? He was eventually thrown into the cold palace. Let me tell you, I knew it was a frame-up as soon as I saw it, and I didn't know. Does he still have a chance to come out?"
Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and said extremely seriously: "I think he and the nun who is a monk can definitely come back."
It's just that he's a little surprised why this big mouth hasn't been beheaded yet.
"Then there's Er Chuncai. Fortunately, he's also a member of the Shangshu family. Unexpectedly, he actually had an affair with a guard. There's Wu Meiyang, Wu Cai. It's said that he also had an affair with a monk. Now he has become a monk to prove his innocence. Become a nun."
"By the way, do you know who is the most terrifying in the harem? It's Wei Yingying. He is not very powerful but has weird methods. Some people suspect that he actually has extraordinary cultivation. They also say that Concubine Yu was struck to death by lightning from the sky."
"Uh... there won't be another concubine in the harem, right?"
"You know this, but Concubine Ka has been dead for many years. He is crazy all day long, shouting everywhere about how he has been favored by the emperor since he entered the palace. The emperor only favored him, and later he was rewarded by Concubine Hua. Hong, I walked on the old crooked neck tree behind the palace."
Shen Xuan broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and said very gratefully: "Thanks to my brother for your advice, otherwise I might not have survived three episodes if I wasn't careful. By the way, what do you call me brother?"
The palace servant smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fights between these big shots usually won't involve us. As long as we serve the master well and survive for three seasons, there will be no problem in all seasons."
"Then, if you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask me. Everyone knows that I, Li Sanhao, am the most willing to help others. I am the Li Sanhao who does good things, says nice things, and has good intentions, hehe."
Fuck!
Shen Xuan was shocked. There are many characters in the harem here, so is Gong Ruyue going to raise Gu in the harem?
This ghost place is really too dangerous. Shen Xuan doesn't want to stay for a moment longer. It's been too long for him to be promoted to the emperor step by step. He decided to take action tonight. He first asked Li Sanhao about the location of the emperor's dormitory and tried it at night. Cannot sneak in.
On the way, Li Sanhao continued to tell him some more about the situation in the palace. What he said before was just minutiae. Compared with these other concubines, the most powerful one in the harem now is Concubine Degui, the son of the prime minister. If the emperor hadn't already If you appoint a queen, I'm afraid this person will be honored by her father.
When Shen Xuan and Li Sanhao returned, Imperial Physician Yang had already left. Shen Xuan also noticed that the handkerchief Xiao Fei had been embroidering had also disappeared, and the bowl of iced sour plum soup he had worked so hard to bring back, Xiao Fei just casually I told him to put it on the table, and then he didn't take a sip until the ice cubes completely melted.
Shen Xuan knew that the bowl of sour plum soup was just to get rid of his excuse, and when he saw that he didn't want to drink it at all, Shen Xuan boldly proposed to take it out to Li Sanhao as a reward, but he only got a scolding.
Shen Xuan is a cultivator and will not feel tired no matter what, but Li Sanhao is just an ordinary person. He has walked so far with him on a hot day. A bowl of iced sour plum soup is just right. If you have a good relationship with him, you will definitely be able to find out later. A lot of news.
It's a pity that this Concubine Xiao has no one else in her eyes except herself. He doesn't want to drink and won't understand his subordinates.
Shen Xuan was so angry after being scolded that he finally stayed up until night. He thought he could go back to rest, but Concubine Xiao asked him to get a basin of hot water again.
"Come here and wash your feet for me."
Foot massage? Isn’t that just foot washing?
Shen Xuan really didn't know how to do anything when he was asked to wash the feet of another grown man. Just when he was thinking about the reason why he should refuse, Concubine Xiao spoke again to urge her.
When Concubine Xiao called for the third time, seeing that Lu Xuan still didn't move, he also became angry. He walked over quickly, overturned the copper basin, and cursed at the same time: "You little bitch, are you deaf?"
Sounds were heard outside, and the footsteps of four or five people were about to come in, but Concubine Xiao shouted: "No one is allowed to come in. I will teach this idiot a lesson today."
After saying that, he raised his hand to give Shen Xuan a big slap. Shen Xuan couldn't bear it anymore. Before Xiao Fei's slap fell, he also slapped Xiao Fei and sent Xiao Fei flying out.
Concubine Xiao was slapped and rolled to the corner. After getting up, she covered one cheek and said angrily: "Lu Xuan! You are crazy! How dare you hit me!"
Anyway, they were beaten, so Shen Xuan didn't care anymore. He thought about it, and then answered like the Romans: "I'll beat you if I beat you. Do you still have to choose a day?"
