Concubine Eunuch 8
Concubine Zhao left the Old Summer Palace on the first day, and the emperor suddenly found that he was not used to it. When using snacks, he only took a sip and put down the soup, and he didn't even taste the snacks.
Emperor: "How did you deliver the things from the imperial kitchen today...?"
People who are emperors generally have particular qualities and will not express their special preferences for something directly, so as not to be used by those who are interested. Although this emperor was a little unconventional, he was not stupid. He coughed twice and swallowed up what he was going to say below.
Wang Jin: "Your Majesty has not given the snacks from the Royal Kitchen for some days. I think it's because the Royal Kitchen is so brave that he has started to deal with it."
But Wang Jin guessed that even if he asked the imperial kitchen to send another serving, the emperor would not be satisfied... Because the emperor had been given to Concubine Zhao for so long, he, a slave, did not have the chance to taste how delicious it was. However, the emperor and the empress dowager were all delicious foods, and they could even eat the amount delivered without losing a bite, which was enough to show that the two servings were eaten a lot every day.
The emperor asked someone to remove all the food: "Concubine Zhao is gone?"
Wang Jin: "I bid farewell to the Queen Mother early in the morning and set off."
"oh!"
Emperor: "Where did the chefs in Yonghe Palace invite them?"
Wang Jin: "Your Majesty, the chefs of Yonghe Palace are two assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are not good at cooking. Whatever Concubine Zhao wants to eat is made by himself."
In his life, the emperor was used to eating food sent by different women. He said that he was made by himself, but everyone knew the conventions. The kitchen was full of oil smoke, and there were all charming women, who would be willing to be covered in oil smoke.
Concubine Zhao is willing!
Maybe she didn't have any good skills in the past, for example, she would definitely not be able to make a table of dishes, but soups and snacks are relatively simple and not difficult to learn. She must have studied them carefully in private, just for his comfort.
Can it be made so delicious, even better than the imperial kitchen, but can't it tell her intention? Can't it prove her heart for herself?
The emperor stood up irritably, and for a moment he was unintentional to review the memorials. He turned around and asked Wang Jin twice: "She didn't leave anything?"
Wang Jin slapped his head: "Look at the elm of the slave, when you went to court, was there a small palace servant next to Concubine Zhao who came to Qingyan, Jiuzhou. I'll bring her up?"
Wang Jin understood if the emperor didn't refuse. He was wondering, no concubine left someone to tell the emperor, and he was still a palace servant with no grade. He didn't seem to pay attention to it enough, so he didn't take it seriously.
More importantly, at this time, Wang Jin didn't know whether the emperor would like to hear the news about Concubine Zhao at this moment--after all, he acquiesced to Concubine Zhao leave the Old Summer Palace and return to the palace to think about his mistakes, perhaps because he didn't want to face her.
It's strange that since Concubine Zhao gave birth to the eldest prince, she seems to be more capable than before. Whenever she encounters problems, she will solve them in an unconventional way, and she also has a clever plan... She sent a palace servant here, as if she knew that the emperor would definitely summon him.
And the emperor also cared about her more.
After a while, the little moustache came in, holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
Emperor: "What are you holding in your hand?"
The little palace master: "Reply to Your Majesty, this is a snack made by the Queen Mother from the morning..."
"She used her heart..."
The emperor was silent again. Some people don’t feel strange when they are by their side every day, but once they are not around, they feel empty in their hearts. Concubine Zhao is such a person.
On the first day of Concubine Zhao's departure, I missed her.
***
Ji Wan predicted the journey of the Emperor of the Old Summer Palace step by step. After eating this last snack, the emperor must have missed it. With the last mission, he worked as a chef for life and also had a way to improve the natural and delicious food, she was sure that the imperial chefs in the palace had no skills.
When I get used to eating what she cooks, I just keep my tongue tricky.
After two days, the emperor was idle, she could always find a new way to play, even the emperor, and there was little entertainment, so he was willing to accompany him every time.
However, none of these are left.
In the palace, the emperor's friendship is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it can be needed by the superiors. It not only has value in existence, but also penetrates into all aspects of the emperor's life, so that he can think of you in everything he does.
After all, the friendship of His Majesty is unreliable.
Concubine Zhao returned to the palace. The concubines in the Forbidden City had not received the news yet, so they could only pack up one by one and go to Yonghe Palace to pay their respects. They kept guessing what happened in the Old Summer Palace.
As a result, when the concubines saw the radiant imperial concubine in Yonghe Palace, they inexplicably felt that it was not this person who had something to do. Now she has the highest position in the palace, and the concubines who would be left in the Forbidden City were not very favored, so no one was accused of making trouble.
Ji Wan was so happy that she began to "reflect" with her father-in-law every day. He Wangshu, who was in a state of power, now did the hardest and most tiring work. The first eunuchs in the palace were used in the palace because there were many dirty and tiring work that the palace maids could not do, so the men who used their strength. Of course, in order to ensure the purity of royal blood, eunuchs were castrated.
He Wangshu was run by Xinzheku, who weeded and swept dust under the scorching sun. Often, his clothes were wet once in half an hour. He could still keep his mood calm two days ago, and he realized that he had suffered such pain in the past, which was nothing.
However, after working for more than a month, his mood inevitably became darker, not because the work was too hard, but because he could not see hope. In the past, he could do such a hard and tiring job, and he could also cleverly establish a relationship with the "leader" in order to achieve higher progress.
But now everyone in charge knows that he was thrown in by Concubine Zhao, and he can't figure out what the situation is, and he is unwilling to let him get close to him. A month passed in a flash, and no one asked the little eunuch, and everyone got the news. This and his father-in-law were afraid that they had completely offended Concubine Zhao, and would not reuse him again. They were far away from him, for fear of being implicated, and would not have any connection with him.
Because the Imperial Concubine said hello, Wangshu was isolated like this. As long as the Imperial Concubine Zhao was there for one day, he would have no way to go.
He Wangshu was finally scared.
One day, the eunuch, the leader of the eunuch, took them to Yuquan Mountain to get spring water and walked with Wangshu. He knew how difficult it was for the eunuch to live in the palace. Once he got sick, he would probably be deprived of some of his authority. By then, there would be no place to complain, so he had always exercised well. More than a month of hard work would not drag him down, nor would he be so tired that he would fall asleep and fall behind.
But he Wangshu fell asleep at the rest halfway point and fell behind. He got up and found a pack of silver in his chest... At this time, his panic had reached its peak.
He Wangshu's family would send him to the palace as a eunuch, but it was just that the world was not easy to survive. He sold his son and did not know whether the family would survive now. He Wangshu knew during the reunion of the meeting with Di Qiu that his family had already moved out of the village of the past and his whereabouts were unknown, so he had no relatives.
He Wangshu also has no official identity certificate. He probably knows that if he wants to enter the city rashly, he will be driven out. At this time, he needs to be led by road wherever he goes.
Outside the palace, there is a vast world worth envious in the words of the people in the palace, and He Wangshu can only tremble in this world. He Wangshu and he had never considered living outside the palace. He didn't understand that he would be stunned, and seemed to be thrown out of the palace-----What was Concubine Zhao's intention to do this?
The only way is to find the eunuch who went to Yuquan Mountain and return to the team before returning to the palace in Xinzheku. Although they may not necessarily take him in, they still have a glimmer of expectations with Wangshu. He is a little eunuch, and the only one who can bother to plot against him is Concubine Zhao.
Since I have tried my best, I won’t just let him finish it like this!
I don’t know the road with Wangshu, and happened to meet several passers-by village names.
"How to get to Yuquan Mountain?"
The villagers were stunned when they heard a sharp and thin voice. In addition, He Wangshu was still wearing eunuch uniforms, and several villagers knelt down. He Wangshu could see that the villagers nearby had probably seen eunuchs, but had never dealt with eunuchs. They were ignorant, and their eyes were full of fear, and they seemed to be watching some novel monster, which made him feel irritable.
---No wonder the eunuchs in the palace do not like to deal with people outside the palace even if they are ordered.
He Wangshu held a little broken silver in his hand and said to these people: "We have an urgent matter to go to Yuquan Mountain and get lost. You can go and find a sedan chair. This is a reward!"
The villager in charge did not dare to pick it up at all. He had already thrown off the basket in his arms and said, "Negotiable, we don't know where to find a sedan chair... Is it okay to have a ox cart?"
He has no choice either.
When He Wangshu arrived at Yuquan Mountain, the large army had already filled the spring water. The group of more than a dozen eunuchs seemed to have not found him missing. When he came back, no one looked at him sideways.
However, the leader and eunuch who was extremely cold to him a few days ago smiled when he saw him: "Thank you for your hard work with your father-in-law, you can rest for a while. Don't worry, Concubine Zhao has instructed that if you find it back, you can go back to the palace with us."
He Wangshu: "…”
Sweats flowing coldly.
The fat and fat leader eunuch was still muttering: "The queen is also worried. How can eunuchs leave the palace? Since they have been serving people for the rest of their lives, they don't want to serve the most noble people, and they can still settle their homes outside the palace. The water and soil outside cannot support eunuchs. If you have something to ask for help, you will never have the chance to take any authority in your life, and you will be forced to death sooner or later."
Even a man who stands tall and strong has to study hard. When he enters the imperial examination, thousands of people walk on the single-plank bridge, and countless people die on the imperial examination road. To put it bluntly, he is not just looking forward to taking one more step in the center of power.
They have already done this, why not try to make all the civil and military officials in the court have to call them respectfully in front of them?
He Wangshu grinned.
However, he and the eunuch who knew the matter thought that the empress had taught enough lessons and would inevitably reuse and Wangshu. However, he did not. He still worked in Xinzheku.
It took another two months in a hurry.
Even the leader and eunuch sighed: "How many people are serving Empress Zhao, who have sharpened their heads and squeezed in. I'm afraid I've forgotten you and people have to accept their fate."
...
In Yonghe Palace, Aunt Guihua reported on He Wangshu's recent situation and couldn't help asking more: "Why don't you ask your grandmother to come back with your father-in-law?"
"Living in the palace is not allowed to make a mistake. So many concubines in the cold palace are reminding me that every step must be taken. The people around me must be wholeheartedly devoted," Ji Wan said softly: "You have to remember it too."
Osmanthus knelt down: "I can save it."
Ji Wan didn't know if this was right or not---I pressed Wangshu on the ground like this to rub it, so that he could know that although Concubine Zhao was not necessarily him, nor was it necessary for anyone, so that his despair spreads every day, to examine himself, and from then on, he would definitely hold on to her vine tightly and dare not let go.
If a person lives for a lifetime, who wants to die? Ji Wan doesn't know what it means to live a good life for a eunuch. She probably can't figure it out thoroughly for her life. It's better to ask for a life for him and have a promising future...
With Concubine Zhao here, the leader of the Yonghe Palace cannot make the eunuch live a bad life.
