Chapter 39 Does Your Excellency Want His Majesty to See You?

The two eunuchs shuddered together and broke out in cold sweat.

Her face looked like she was about to cry, but she managed to force a smile. She bowed and said carefully, "Of course we are willing, but after your majesty enters the palace, the eunuchs around you will be uniformly assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am afraid..."

"So this is what the two fathers-in-law are worried about."

Luo Fu smiled and said, "Chang Jin has some influence in the inner court. He told me that he can stay by my side and work, and I think he can also arrange for you."

Just as she was about to tell them about the benefits of staying with her, someone at the door said coldly, "Didn't the noble say that you are not the kind of person who strives to be the best?"

Luo Fu looked over and saw Chang Jin had arrived at some point, leaning against the doorway with his arms folded across his chest, looking at her. "I stayed with you, my lord, because I have no great abilities and no hope of advancement. These two eunuchs must have great ambitions."

Love was stunned for a moment, then nodded. It was true that keeping two capable people by her side was indeed a waste of talent.

But she still didn't give up, and said to the two people: "Although I don't want to compete for the first place, you can live a stable and comfortable life here with me. I can support you now. If you don't want to compete anymore, you can come to my place, and I will raise you to be fat and white."

The beautiful lady said sincerely that she would support them.

And we have to keep them fat and white.

The two eunuchs were tempted.

But heartbeat is not as important as life.

The two of them responded repeatedly, but they didn't dare to relax their words at all.

Luo Fu knew they were still reluctant, and though she felt a little regretful, she didn't force them. She turned back to her business and said to Sister Li and the others, "Since we already have all the supplies and the staff, why don't we steam a few baskets first? Judging by the weather, by the time they're done, the students from the Imperial College who are taking extra classes will be out for dinner. We can see how they're doing. What do you think?"

Sister Li and the others had no objection.

Everyone was busy, and Shang Lu would be staying in the shop from now on, so he paid special attention to it.

Honeysuckle was also helping out.

Luo Fu originally wanted to make some buns, but everyone was busy and she didn't know where to start. She was also afraid of causing trouble for others, so she prepared to go to the inner room to sit for a while. As she was about to walk, she suddenly thought of someone and turned to look at Chang Jin who was still standing at the door.

He seemed to suddenly become gloomy again.

But he was fine just now.

Love didn't think too much about it, just thinking that it was because his face was hidden in the shadows.

She reached out to him: "Chang Jin, why are you still standing there?"

Murong Jin stared at her uncertainly for a while, then walked over and followed her into the inner room.

There is a hollow carved window in this inner room, and even if it is closed, you can see what is happening outside.

Luo Fu fanned herself with a round fan in her hand while looking outside and casually talking to the eunuch beside her: "Chang Jin, didn't you go back to the inner court? Why are you out again?"

The eunuch beside him said, "Does your Excellency like to keep people so much?"

Love was stunned for a moment, then turned and looked up at him.

He was staring at her with his eyes downcast, "My lord, is it not enough to support me? Do you still need to support others?"

Love looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed.

Her eyes were bright, her teeth were white, and her peach blossom eyes were curved, like a blooming rose, illuminating the inner room.

Murong Jin was startled by her laughter: "What are you laughing at, sir?"

Luo Fu smiled and said, "I'm thinking of Shanglu. She was the first one to be with me. Honeysuckle came the following year. When Honeysuckle came, she was also unhappy, but she wasn't as straightforward as you."

She looked at him and shook her head, saying, "When you're unhappy, you get a gloomy face. When you're scolded by your superiors, you kill their dogs. Such a straightforward character really can't lead to high promotion.

But I like your straightforwardness, and it’s just right for you to stay with me.”

When she said this, the two eunuchs standing at the door felt their legs go weak and cold sweat broke out on their heads.

Is the emperor a straightforward person?

Then so many people wouldn’t have died in the former dynasty and the harem.

It is true that those who are ignorant are fearless.

The emperor was once an unfavored prince, but he has now ascended to the throne. If he had been straightforward, he would probably have been killed without a burial place.

But I can still vaguely guess his temperament at that time.

Now it is becoming more and more...

Everyone in the court and the harem was trembling with fear.

Only this ignorant and fearless nobleman dared to speak to the emperor in this way.

The two eunuchs couldn't help but worry.

Will this beautiful noble lady be beheaded in the next moment?

Sure enough, the emperor inside was staring at the beauty with a gloomy expression: "I am straightforward?"

Love nodded.

It's straightforward, but a bit weird.

Most of the eunuchs have this problem.

After all, they are neither women nor men.

Luo Fu said tolerantly, "If you were the only one by my side, wouldn't you have more things to do? It's good to have someone to help you share the burden. Besides, after spending time together, you two will become good friends. Look at Shanglu and Rendong. Although they may bicker occasionally, they are already very good sisters."

Murong Jin stared at her, gnashing his teeth, but in the end he continued to play the eunuch game with her: "Your Excellency is right, I understand."

He pulled a stool and sat next to her. As usual, he took the round fan from her hand, circled her and fanned her.

Luo Fu was also used to him fanning her like this. She supported her forehead with her bare hands and looked at Mrs. Li and the others busy outside, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.

Murong Jin looked at her: "What are you thinking about, my lady?"

Luo Fu was still looking outside: "I was wondering, will His Majesty meet with us concubines during this year's selection?"

Murong Jin asked, "Does your Excellency wish His Majesty to see you?"

Love nodded, but then shook her head.

Murong Jin asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Love said nothing.

It would be great to be able to meet His Majesty directly and gain His Majesty's favor.

But it's too fast.

After gaining His Majesty's favor, the next step is to serve him in bed, and then become the target of public criticism, having to deal with the concubines in the harem whom he has not yet had time to get to know.

She was a little scared.

But if I don't win the favor of His Majesty, even if I have money, my future life will probably not be easy.

So she didn't want to meet His Majesty so soon.

If it were the same as in previous years, everyone would enter the palace directly and be assigned positions based on their father's official position, then there wouldn't be so many incidents.

She will also have time to get more familiar with the harem.

In this way, whether Your Majesty likes her or dislikes her, there is room for maneuver.
