Wei Yong found a piece of cloth that looked relatively clean and wiped the tea bowl inside and out twice before pouring a cup of tea into the teapot and handing it to Xing Bang.

"My Lord, please have some tea!"

Xing Bang took the tea bowl and took two sips.

"Sir, I was just transferred here not long ago. To be honest, I was arranged here by the relationship between you, Sir Weiwei."

"You are good, there is such a way, but the position arranged is a bit small."

Weiwei was one of the Nine Ministers and was responsible for guarding the palace.

Wei Yong laughed, "Please forgive me, my lord. I haven't met the Lord Weiwei yet. To be honest, I have a distant cousin who is my good friend. She is the personal maid of the aunt of the Lord Weiwei's mansion. That's why I got this job."

"You are really good, you can even take advantage of this irrelevant relationship."

"Your Excellency is too kind. Actually, the lover was a prostitute. I found out about it accidentally. It just so happened that her distant cousin was favored by my aunt, so I spent some money. I didn't expect that I would succeed by chance."

Wow, what a talent!

Xing Bang smiled slightly. He had noticed that this boy was quite clever that day at the city gate, so he had said that on purpose.

"Didn't I tell you the other day that if you can't make it, you can go to Prince Yan's Mansion. It's better to give you some help than to stay here guarding the palace gate. Why didn't you go?"

"Sir, I will remember your words in my heart, and I am grateful for your support, but I have never served you, so..."

"I see. I see!"

Xing Bang nodded. This kid has some backbone. He looks a bit ruffian, but people like him usually value loyalty and righteousness. Once they are convinced, they will fight for you and would rather die than betray others.

He is a good talent and we can promote him if we have the chance.

"This place is not bad. I will say hello to your boss if I have a chance."

"Thank you, sir. You are the benefactor of my life. I dare not say anything else, but as long as you give me the order, I will fight for you!"

Xing Bang smiled slightly, and did not deny it. He picked up the tea bowl and took two more sips, then asked, "Are your brothers still guarding the city gate over there?"

"Yes, sir, I have some close friends. As long as you give me an order, they will fight for me just like me!"

"Okay, let's do our best here first."

Xing Bang now has some good feelings towards Wei Yong. He is a smart man, but he can't have high expectations of him easily. It is better to be cautious when hiring people. He will wait and see if he is really the right person.

However, based on the principle of combining kindness with severity, he decided to promote him when the right opportunity arises. As for how high he will rise in the future, it depends on his ability and loyalty.

"Yes, sir, I will definitely not let you down."

"Okay, let's stop here for today. It's time for me to go back to the palace."

Xing Bang stood up to leave, and Wei Yong quickly stood up and prepared to see him off.

"By the way, Wei Yong, if you run into any trouble, you can mention my name, Eunuch Xing, the violent and extravagant man. I still have some face!"

"You, you are the eunuch Xing who cured smallpox?"

Wei Yong looked surprised.

Xing Bang laughed, "You also know, am I that famous?"

Wei Yong let out a long sigh, "Of course not. I have heard of you a long time ago. But if you ask around in Beijing, who doesn't know your name?"

He finally understood why he was asked to go to Prince Yan's Mansion. Everyone knew the relationship between Eunuch Xing and the Sixth Prince.

It's all so accurate. That's a person that the current emperor almost made a king of a different surname!

Xing Bang smiled without saying anything and walked straight down.

"Sir, please take care!"

Xing Bang had already walked away for some distance, but Wei Yong was still staring at his back in a daze, feeling so excited that he felt like he was dreaming.

If a man can get to this point, it’s worth it to be a eunuch!

"Boss, you can actually talk to such an important person. It really opened our eyes. From now on, we brothers will serve you at your service."

"Damn it, you guys don't want your heads anymore, just go back and stand guard for me. If anyone dares to spread nonsense, I'll skin him alive!"

Wei Yong turned around and shouted at the guards who were approaching him, then went up to the city wall again without looking back.

He knew very well in his heart that the adults had given him face, but he knew his own limitations and must not smear the noble man in the slightest.

Wei Yong had no intention of doing anything under the banner of Xing Bang, and at the same time he secretly vowed to do something well and never let people think he was useless.

His thoughts also doomed his future to be extraordinary...

Xing Bang did take Wei Yong's matter to heart. He had to have his own people to guard the imperial palace.

He went straight to Shouning Palace.

There shouldn't be anything to worry about with the mahjong competition, but I'm mainly worried about Queen Xiao. It's been almost a day and a night, and I don't know if she's in a better mood or has figured it out?

…

Shouning Palace.

Xing Bang went directly to Queen Xiao's bedroom, and Xiao Xin just came out from there.

"Your Highness basically didn't sleep all night last night. She just slept for a while and got up again."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."

When Xiaoxin saw that it was Xing Bang who came, he whispered in his ear, and Xing Bang nodded and went in.

She must have gone to get some snacks or tea for Queen Xiao.

Queen Xiao was sitting in front of the dressing table at this moment. Two maids were doing her makeup. She really paid attention to dressing dignified all the time.

"I, the slave, pay my respects to the Majesty!"

"Now that you're here, no need to be polite."

The voice sounded quite gentle. Xing Bang raised his head and looked at Queen Xiao in the mirror. She was still as beautiful as ever, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of sadness and fatigue between her brows.

It seems that the conversation yesterday really made her a little upset. It is completely understandable. Once she wants to change her life status after so many years, she will definitely have too much sadness in her heart. The most important thing is that it is difficult for her to make a decision.

However, looking at her current state, I think she has some ideas in her mind, and she should be inclined to agree with what she said.

"Little Stick, did you just come back from outside the palace?"

"Yes, my lady!"

Xing Bang wanted to say that he would come to see you when he returned to the palace, but he didn't say it because there was a maid next to him. He believed that Queen Xiao should be able to sense his thoughts.

"Oh, okay."

Empress Xiao looked a little confused, as if she wanted to ask something...

Xing Bang could probably guess that she would not be used to not worrying about her all of a sudden, but he had other thoughts in his mind, so it was inevitable that he would feel conflicted.

Just then, Xiaoxin brought in some snacks and soup.

After putting it down, he walked to Empress Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest grandmother of the Xiao family wants to see you!"

"she?"

Empress Xiao frowned at first, then she thought of something and said hurriedly, "She is pregnant, let her in!"
