Chapter 705 It’s really lively
Looking at Xiao Hongzi's young face, Dehai said dimly, "I'm old now, and I don't have the time or the heart to cultivate a few more confidants.
Your father and I are barely old acquaintances. If you are smart, you will be able to serve His Majesty in a year or two."
He paused, and said with a sullen face, "Don't learn from that useless little Zhuzi. He has no roots of his own, yet he's still thinking about his fellow townsmen from his youth.
This person, sometimes being too sentimental isn't a good thing."
Thinking of Eunuch Zhu who was thrown into the cold palace for some reason some time ago, Xiao Hongzi couldn't help but tear up.
As someone who was used to serving in the imperial court, how could he endure the hardship of being in the cold palace?
Even if the other eunuchs did not dare to bully him because of his godfather, it would not take long for his spirit to be worn down by such a huge gap.
Once this person loses his spirit, he is no different from being dead.
After enduring again and again, Xiao Hongzi still couldn't help it.
He asked tentatively, "Godfather, do you think it's possible for Brother Zhu to return to serve the emperor?"
"Return to the Imperial Court?" De Hai snorted coldly, "Your Majesty spared his life because of his past dedicated service.
If Your Majesty had not been so soft-hearted, even if he died a hundred times, it would not be enough."
Little Hongzi felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this. He wiped his eyes and said, "My son heard that Brother Zhu didn't eat well in the cold palace, and the living place was also poor. The bedding he slept on was moldy and smelly."
De Hai said coldly: "He deserves it."
As he spoke, his expression grew darker, "You have a good life ahead of you, but you insist on meddling in other people's affairs and courting death.
If I had known earlier that he was a confused person, I would not have kept him around."
Xiao Hongzi originally wanted to give him some advice.
After all, it was Eunuch Zhu who introduced him to his godfather when he went to deliver medicine to him after he was bullied and happened to find out that he and his godfather were from the same hometown.
If he hadn't mentioned it himself, his godfather wouldn't have remembered that he knew his father, and it was even more impossible for him to adopt him as his adopted son just because they were from the same hometown.
That's not true. He might have been bullied to death a long time ago.
It can be said that without Eunuch Zhu, there would be no him today.
Just a look from Eunuch De and little Hongzi shut up obediently.
He warned coldly, "You'd better stop thinking about this. Otherwise, if His Majesty hears about it, even I won't be able to protect you."
Little Hongzi was a little confused and asked boldly, "Godfather, His Majesty is busy with government affairs every day, how could he have the time to care about a little eunuch in the cold palace?"
Dehai's face darkened, and he said meaningfully, "As long as His Majesty wants to, there is nothing in this world that he doesn't know."
At the end of his words, he sighed, "Little Zhuzi is useless. If I leave him alone, he can still live peacefully in the cold palace."
He looked at Xiao Hongzi and warned him, "Remember, at any time, do not have the thought of disobeying the will of the Holy Spirit, even if it is just a thought in your own mind."
Little Hongzi nodded respectfully and said, "Godfather, I understand."
Dehai smiled with relief, "Good boy, I will be counting on you in the future."

After drinking the third bowl of cold tea, Zhuang Shihan finally couldn't wait any longer and found one of the royal guards to ask.
The man stared straight ahead, seemingly oblivious to her words.
Thinking about the last time she suffered a setback at their hands, Zhuang Shihan didn't dare to get angry directly, and found the person who brought her tea from among the few people.
She just didn't believe it. They were all dumb and deaf!
Once again, the man ignored her.
If his eyelids hadn't been blinking, Zhuang Shihan would have even thought that someone had tried to immobilize them.
Her face was livid as she asked, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to treat a princess with disrespect?"
These bastards who are looking down on others for favors are clearly doing it on purpose.
She had asked someone before. Although there were many rules in the Royal Guards and whispering was not allowed while on duty, they were still allowed to talk.
If he were on duty, he would become mute, and wouldn't Emperor Xuande become a tyrant?
The Royal Guards on duty ignored Zhuang Shihan's words.
Charge?
It seems that this noble princess still hasn't learned her lesson from the last incident.
It was because their Commander Liang had a good temper. If it was their Commander Zuo at that time, he would have taught the princess a lesson about what it meant to be treated with disrespect.
They are directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty. Not to mention her, a mere princess who was later conferred the title, even the princes and princesses do not have the right to decide their fate.
As for whether he is guilty or not, it is not her decision.
Looking at their attitude, Zhuang Shihan understood something even though she was slow-witted.
No wonder when the eunuch left just now, he acted contrary to his usual behavior and poured her some water and asked her to wait patiently.
After all the fuss, they had no intention of letting her meet Emperor Xuande!
But they are just servants. How dare they act recklessly without the master's orders?
Not to mention, her title of princess was conferred personally by His Majesty.
So, it was not that they were deliberately making things difficult for her, but that Emperor Xuande had no intention of meeting her at all.
What else did the little eunuch say?
He said, "Princess, please wait."
Okay, okay, they all treated her like a fool!
Zhuang Shihan became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by one of the Royal Guards with a gun.
"Please wait here for the summons, my lord."
Looking at that expressionless face, Zhuang Shihan laughed angrily.
She gritted her teeth and asked angrily, "Your Majesty has no intention of seeing me at all, why do you want me to wait here?"
She came after breakfast and stood outside the palace gate for two or three hours. Now the sun was about to set.
If she keeps waiting like this, she would be really stupid.
Upon hearing this, the man simply repeated, "Please wait here, my lord."
"Wait?" Zhuang Shihan asked coldly, "I can wait, but can you guarantee that I can see His Majesty today?"
The Royal Guard who stopped her didn't say anything, but his expression became even colder.
They were guarding the palace gate and had seen all kinds of people, but this was the first time someone dared to be so presumptuous.
Is this princess really not afraid of death?
But the roar at the palace gate was enough to make her suffer.
Not to mention, she had to guess the emperor's intention in what she said just now, which was a capital crime.
If it were someone else, I don’t know how many times they would have died.
She should be thankful that she was born into a good family.
If she continues to act so recklessly, not to mention the Duke of Jingguo's great military achievements, even if the mansion had many golden medals of immunity from death, they would probably not be enough.
"Get out of the way!" Zhuang Shihan scolded with a stern face.
How could she know what they were thinking at the moment? She only knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait any longer.
You know you won’t be able to see her, but you still wait outside eagerly. How despicable!
She just didn't believe that Emperor Xuande would never see her again in his entire life.
Today, Shuzhuang's business is making a fortune. Even an emperor would not be stingy with his wallet.
Looking at the long spear in front of her, Zhuang Shihan became even more furious, and the words she said became much more unpleasant.
She said, "You are just gatekeepers hired by His Majesty, who do you think you are?
If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The man didn't move at all and didn't want to say even a single extra word to her.
This made Zhuang Shihan very angry. Just as she was about to reach out to grab the spear in his hand, she heard a chuckle behind her.
Then, the voice that was so familiar that it was engraved in her bones and made her scalp tingle for an instant rang out.
"The customs of Da'an are indeed different from those of Liang State. It's really lively."
