Chapter 140 This eunuch looks a bit like my sister
[Tyrants like these should only be admired from afar, never touched. It's fine for your eyes, but if you get too close, you might end up dead.]
Although Chu Liuzheng is a face-chaser, he is a face-chaser who cherishes his life.
When she was free, she loved to entertain herself with random thoughts, her thoughts quite jumping around. Thinking about the gossip she had just read, she couldn't help but compare them secretly.
Butterfly is quite tall and handsome, and his figure... well, definitely not a boiled chicken. He knows martial arts, I wonder how he compares to the tyrant? The envoys will also be here during the Firearms Battalion's drills, so I'll have to take a closer look.
Xiao Jingfan...his face darkened.
It's bad enough that you're so bold as to covet him, but you even compare him with Wei Mingliang!
Is there any need to compare?
Does this woman have eyes?!

"Get going!"
The cavalry led the way, with the emperor's guard in front and officials and envoys following on horseback behind, heading towards the hunting grounds outside the capital.
Chu Liuzheng, who was sitting on the shaft of the cart, turned his head and looked around. He saw that behind the curtains on both sides pulled up by the soldiers were people craning their necks to watch the excitement. The crowds were as if they were at a market.
Everyone wants to see what the omnipotent emperor who can go to heaven and earth as described by Dr. Tea looks like. Can he have three eyes, six hands, and eight legs? Can he also cast beans to make soldiers and call on heavenly soldiers and generals to help at the critical moment?
Unfortunately, the emperor was sitting in a carriage, more tightly covered than a bride in a sedan chair, so the people couldn't even see his shadow, which was a bit regrettable.
But since I'm here, if I can't see the emperor, then I'll look at someone else.
The people pointed at the officials and envoys and whispered to each other.
"That's Mr. Dong. I saw him when I went to the government office to file a complaint."
"Who is sitting in the sedan chair among the envoys?"
"A princess, right? I heard princesses are very beautiful."
"That one, you see? The one with the extra pale face and a slightly sunken chin. His brother was caught by his wife visiting a brothel and had his leg broken."
"Oh, there's a Hedong Lion at home!"
"Look ahead. That handsome old man with a beard riding a white horse is Grand Tutor Yan. He's a good official. He set up a porridge stall outside the city right after it started snowing. Other families' porridge is watery, but his family and the Princess's porridge is the thickest. You can even stick a chopstick in it and it will stand up."
"The Chongde Marquisate is also capable. They not only provide free porridge but also winter clothes. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay in the manor outside the city. All you have to do is help with the work."
"The Dou Mansion is also distributing white flour buns. If you go early, you can even get meat buns. Isn't that better than porridge?"
"It's only been distributed for two days. I'm so hungry, who cares if it tastes good? The porridge is still good, and I haven't stopped giving it to them since."
"Have you heard? This morning, that old man He who was pulling dung found several bodies in the cesspool. The police went to see many of them. It seems that the dead ones were some important people."
"Nonsense! What important figure would die in such a filthy place? It's probably just a bunch of drunks who stumbled into the wrong place."
…
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, a clear child's voice stood out.
"Mother, let me go take a look ahead!"
Chu Yuxin was small, and she squeezed in and out of the crowd like a monkey, running to the front, holding onto the stone pillar and climbing to the top, then she stuck her head out to look at the luxurious carriage that was gradually approaching.
This is the carriage the emperor rides in. It’s so big and majestic!
Mrs. Bai was worried that the child would get lost, so she came after her. But when she saw that the child had climbed so high, she was in no mood to watch the fun, so she stared at her without blinking, repeatedly calling her to come down.
"No, I'll watch for a while longer." Chu Yuxin wrapped her legs around the stone pillar and refused to come down.
Her elder sister was serving tea in front of the emperor. When the emperor left the palace, her elder sister might have followed him out as well. She had to look for her elder sister.
The little person opened his eyes wide and looked at the sisters who were following the carriage and were dressed beautifully, wanting to see which one was his own sister.
At the same time, Chu Liuzheng also stretched his neck, trying to find his mother and sister among the crowd of onlookers.
[My eyes are blurry. Where is he? In the system... eh? High up on the stone pillar?]
She turned her head quickly to look at the stone pillar she had just passed.
It seems like there is someone.
She quickly leaned forward and turned her head to look.
One above and one below, two pairs of similar almond-shaped eyes met.
Chu Yuxin blinked, and Chu Liuzheng also blinked.
Chu Yuxin was thinking: Why does this eunuch look a bit like my sister?
Chu Liuzheng was thinking: This girl coiled up on the stone pillar like a monkey must be my own Xin'er, right?
At this moment, the wheels ran over a stone and the carriage shook slightly. Chu Liuzheng was barely maintaining his balance, and this shake caused him to lose his balance and fall headfirst.
Chu Yuxin was so frightened that her eyes widened and she subconsciously shouted, "Sister!"
When Mrs. Bai heard this shout, her eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Have you seen Youmiao? Where is she?"
Chu Yuxin shook her head. After seeing the young eunuch who had fallen off the carriage being rescued, she lowered her head and said to Bai: "It's not Sister."
If she calls a eunuch "Sister", Sister will definitely punish her if she finds out, and Mother will also punish her.
The light in Bai's eyes dimmed again. Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she looked up and shouted to Chu Yuxin, "Come down! If the guards see you soon, they'll catch you and put you in jail."
Seeing her mother's stern face, Chu Yuxin was afraid of being beaten, so she held on to the stone pillar and slid down obediently.
Bai Shi no longer cared about the emperor. She grabbed her little hand and led them out of the crowd. Still asking with some concern, "Who did you call sister just now?"
Chu Yuxin rolled her eyes and shook her head: "No one."
Bai narrowed her eyes and looked at her.
Chu Yuxin felt guilty when she was looked at, and her eyes rolled around faster.
Bai: "If you don't tell me, I won't eat meat tonight."
"Speak!" Chu Yuxin had been looking forward to this meal for several days and said hurriedly, "It was a eunuch with eyes like my sister. I just saw him lose his seat and fall off the carriage."
Bai frowned immediately, "Did you fall?"
Chu Yuxin shook her head.
For some reason, when Bai heard that the little eunuch was fine, she seemed to feel less sad. She didn't think much about it and patted her little girl's head with a dark face.
Her Youmiao is a beautiful girl, how could she be a eunuch?
After all, he couldn't escape this. Chu Yuxin sighed like a little adult, rubbed his little head, and became happy again when he thought about having meat to eat in the evening. He grabbed his mother's hand and jumped to buy meat.
Yay! Let’s eat meat tonight!!
On the other side, Chu Liuzheng, who fell off the carriage because he did not sit firmly, was picked up by Xie Hui like a chicken. He stared at Xie Hui in shock.
[Oh, thank you, sir, you're so quick! I didn't even see anything clearly before you arrived.]
Xie Hui felt that the young eunuch in front of him looked unfamiliar. The person who could sit on the shaft of the carriage with Eunuch Zhou must be someone trusted by the emperor. How come he had never seen him before?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Liuzheng: "Who are you?"
"I am Liufeng, your servant. Thank you for your help." Chu Liuzheng tried to lower his voice and expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Xie Hui felt something was amiss and was about to ask a few more questions when the carriage door suddenly opened. Chen Xing, who was accompanying the emperor, poked his little head out from inside, turned around and said with a smile, "Liu Feng, His Majesty is summoning you."
