Xing Bang transmigrated into the palace as a fake eunuch. He started in the Cold Palace, where there were not only abandoned concubines but also the female family members and daughters of convicted...
"Thanks to your Majesty's great fortune and the Empress's management, the entire harem is peaceful and harmonious...
By the way, Your Majesty, not long ago the Queen sent someone to greet Your Majesty."
Liu Xian hummed, picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip, then suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, how is Jing'er these days? He is already sixteen years old this year. Now that he has a job, it's time for him to have some good experience."
"Since the Sixth Prince took over the job of the Shaofu, he must have understood your Majesty's good intentions, and he has been very serious and active in handing over and sorting out various matters. I also heard from the people below that the Sixth Prince also went to the Yeyou Court for an inspection today..."
Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.
Liu Xian frowned at first, then quickly relaxed his brows and said calmly, "Jing'er is willing to go to that kind of place in person. It seems that he really put in a lot of effort."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince also knows how to share Your Majesty's worries. This old servant is happy for Your Majesty from the bottom of his heart."
Cao Zhengchun still had a smile on his face, but when he lowered his head slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Xian suddenly coughed twice. Upon hearing it, Cao Zhengchun hurried forward and gently stroked his back to help him breathe more smoothly.
Liu Xian waved his hand, breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Since Jing'er has a serious attitude towards work, let him do it...
However, Jing'er is still young after all, and Yeyouting is a chaotic place. You have been in charge of Yeyouting for decades. If Jing'er does something inappropriate, you have to take care of it and cannot really let it go. I don't want anything bad to happen."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand."
"Okay, you can leave now. I want to be alone."
After Cao Zhengchun respectfully withdrew, he immediately called over a eunuch and said with a very cold expression: "Pass on our order..."
…
"Little Korean, Eunuch Wu wants to see you."
Xing Bang was lying in the room when Xiao Niuzi suddenly came over.
"What's up?"
"You'll know once you go. Do you dare not go?"
Xing Bang really wanted to laugh when he saw Xiao Niuzi's stupid look. He really didn't understand the situation and was still acting like Wu Jing's godson.
Little do they know that in the harem, the godfathers and godsons among the eunuchs are not as fragrant as the farts of beauties.
Xing Bang didn't bother with Xiao Niuzi. He thought that Xiao Niuzi was just a dog that couldn't bite people and might be slaughtered one day.
Soon, the two arrived at the pharmacy.
For the first time, Eunuch Wu's door was open. From a distance, one could see an octagonal table in the middle of the room, on which were laid some side dishes and snacks, as well as a pot of wine.
Eunuch Wu was already sitting in the main seat facing the door. When he saw Xing Bang coming, he naturally did not stand up. Instead, he pointed to the seat next to him with a smile.
"Little stick, come and sit next to our house."
"Eunuch Wu, what are you doing?"
Xing Bang pretended to be confused, and he knew that the old eunuch Wu Jing had specially invited him to the banquet. He was somewhat proud of himself, as he had not expected that he would become so popular after only half a day's hard work.
"I'm in a good mood today. Sit down and have a couple of drinks with me."
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Xing Bang didn't bother to be polite anymore and sat down next to Wu Jing.
Xiao Niuzi's eyesight became sharper. He poured a cup for each of Eunuch Wu and Xing Bang, then stood aside.
He is really a caring dog to Wu Jing.
"Come on, little Korean, drink this cup with me."
Xing Bang didn't hesitate to pick up the cup, clinked it with Eunuch Wu's, and drank it all in one gulp.
Damn, it tastes even worse. Obviously, it is much worse than the wine brought by the Sixth Prince.
"Little Korean, you are going to be lucky in the future. Today, I went to the Queen's palace to ask for your merit. The Queen asked me to support you in the future."
"Thank you for your support, father-in-law!"
Wu Jing waved his hand, "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. I have said long ago that as long as you work hard, I promise not to treat you unfairly."
Xing Bang picked up the wine, "Grandpa, come, let me toast you!"
Wu Jing picked up the wine glass and said, "You should toast us. Haha, you are going to get lucky."
"Father, this... I am stupid and I really don't understand."
How could Xing Bang not hear the hidden meaning in Wu Jing's words? He really had no idea what he was referring to.
"Come, finish this glass of wine, and I'll tell you!"
Xing Bang drank another full glass.
"Little Korean, although you are smart, you are still young after all, and you still don't see the things in the palace clearly enough."
"I am willing to listen to your teachings!"
Xing Bang's words were not out of modesty, but came from the heart. After all, Wu Jing had been in the palace for decades, and any disturbance in the palace would probably not escape his keen sense of smell.
Wu Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I will make an exception today and tell you something that you shouldn't say.
Let me test you first. Do you know why I stopped the Sixth Prince from dismissing Xu Guang from his post?"
Wu Jing knew that Xing Bang was aware of the general situation, so he kept it a secret for the time being.
Xing Bang thought to himself, who am I to be tested with such an easy-to-understand question? However, he still pondered for a while, because this question was not that simple for a normal person.
"You told me that Xu Guang is Eunuch Cao's godson, and Eunuch Cao is the chief eunuch beside His Majesty, with great power in the harem. Although the Sixth Prince is a prince and is in charge of the Shaofu, he cannot but give face to Eunuch Cao. Moreover, the Sixth Prince's coming to the torture chamber was not a wise move in the first place, so I am worried that Eunuch Cao will say something bad in front of His Majesty after he loses face."
Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Yes, little Korean, it's not easy for you to sort out the problems on the surface, but there are some things you still can't see through...
However, there are also reasons. You underestimated Eunuch Cao. How could he let ordinary people guess his thoughts if he was trusted by His Majesty? Even if the Sixth Prince killed Xu Guang, he would never say anything in front of His Majesty. After all, the Sixth Prince is also His Majesty's biological son."
"Moreover, I can also tell you that if my guess is correct, the position of this extravagant man is basically yours."
After saying that, Eunuch Wu took another sip of wine, looking mysterious, "Of course, it's also your good fortune. If the Sixth Prince hadn't favored you, you wouldn't have gotten the chance for a while."
Xing Bang understood this point. The meaning was very clear. Even if Shefu's position was vacant, under normal circumstances the Sixth Prince would not be able to take care of such trivial matters. Naturally, Eunuch Cao would appoint his own people.
"Father-in-law, let me toast you again!"
Xing Bang picked up the wine glass and started to treat people with courtesy.
Wu Jing did not drink the wine immediately, but said with a slightly gloomy face: "No matter what the outcome of Xu Guang is, it is all his own fault. He really treats this torture chamber as a paradise for him to abuse his power...
Little Bangzi, do you understand what we mean?"
