The master of the harem is naturally in charge of the affairs of the harem. The two of them came for the imperial examinations, but they first headed towards the imperial study.
Now that the Queen Mother has directly sent people to invite them, it is very meaningful. After all, there is a saying that the harem cannot interfere in politics.
To put it nicely, what the Second Prince said means that the Queen is well-informed. To put it bluntly, it means that the harem is interfering in politics and that the lady is overreaching.
"Your Highness, you are joking. The Queen just hasn't seen Your Highness for a long time and wants to talk to You. After all, the Queen is Your biological mother, right?" The eunuch who blocked the road heard what the second prince said, smiled appropriately, and responded to the second prince in disguise.
Originally, when the second prince started talking, Xu Tianze was just watching the show from the side, but as soon as the eunuch opened his mouth, Xu Tianze's eyes narrowed.
The second prince said that the queen was too meddling, and the eunuch in front of him actually implied that the second prince did not respect his biological mother.
The way he speaks is worthy of being someone from the Queen's Palace. He is really eloquent.
"We've been talking for so long. Judging from the eunuch's power, he must be Eunuch Fu, the head eunuch in charge of the Empress?" Xu Tianze stepped forward with a look of curiosity on his face.
"I dare not. Lord Xu, you are too polite." Eunuch Fu took a half step back to show his respect, but the disdain on his face was clearly expressed.
Being the chief eunuch beside the queen is a very respectable thing. Everyone in the harem, even the beauties and concubines who serve the emperor, have to give him some respect.
In addition, he came here on the orders of the Queen Mother to invite Prince Xian and Xu Tianze to visit.
"Don't dare? I think Eunuch Fu is very brave. Even the prince has to be three inches shorter in front of you." Xu Tianze sneered. Seeing that Eunuch Fu didn't show any emotion at all, he was really confused in his heart.
After all, the Queen is a relative of the emperor, the Nan family has fallen, and the Crown Prince has had one arm cut off. Why is the Queen still so powerful?
Even the servants in front of him all look arrogant. Could it be that they think the place under their buttocks is still as stable as before?
Even though he had just exploded twice, Eunuch Fu didn't react much. A eunuch who could follow the queen was no fool.
"Lord Xu, you are joking. We are just following the emperor's orders. As for whether we go or not, it is still up to His Royal Highness the King and Lord Xu to decide." Eunuch Fu spoke in a shrill voice, neither hurried nor slow.
It was as if he was really just passing through, and everything else was just talk, with no other intention at all.
Xu Tianze and the second prince looked at each other, and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. The eunuch in charge of the Queen's Palace seems to be letting others do whatever they want, which is not right.
"Why should I go? I still have to meet my father. If I go, I don't know if the Queen can bear the responsibility." The second prince turned around and walked away impatiently, not wanting to pay any attention to Eunuch Fu.
"What? Aze, why aren't you leaving yet?" After the second prince took a few steps, he found that Xu Tianze did not follow him, and looked back at Xu Tianze with dissatisfaction.
Xu Tianze stared at Eunuch Fu with dark eyes until Eunuch Fu got goose bumps, then he smiled.
"Come on, Your Highness, let's go to the Empress Dowager. She'll take the blame if anything goes wrong. After all, His Majesty has known about you and me entering the palace for a long time, and he must be sending people to look for us by now."
As Xu Tianze spoke, he saw that Eunuch Fu's eyes gradually became gloomy, but he still had a decent smile on his face.
How should I put it? Anyway, Xu Tianze was quite happy in his heart, and he didn't care whether Eunuch Fu's smile was twisted or not.
The second prince took a quick look and saw the gesture Xu Tianze made to him with his back to Eunuch Fu. He understood in his heart that Aze had still tried to find out.
"That's fine. I think the Queen is very eager to see you and me, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Eunuch Fu to come forward." The second prince agreed reluctantly, as if the Queen had coerced and bribed him to go to the Queen.
"Since the prince and Lord Xu have important matters to attend to, our queen will also be considerate." Eunuch Fu's face twitched, and he swept his whisk and was about to refuse.
If what Lord Xu and the wise king said just now were followed, and something happened, His Majesty would blame them, and in the end the one who would suffer would be his Empress.
As for whether something would happen if they went, everyone present knew that the Queen wanted to seek revenge on her mother's family.
But the way these two look, even if the Queen doesn't make things difficult for them, they will deliberately try to make things difficult for them. Then, even if the Queen is right, she won't be able to explain herself.
Rather than causing trouble for his own queen, Eunuch Fu would rather take the initiative to reject these two people. When the time comes, he will return to the palace and tell the queen about the matter, which will also make the queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more alert.
"What are you talking about, eunuch? The Queen is the prince's biological mother. Can the prince not go to the palace to pay her respects? That would be unfilial." Xu Tianze looked as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Filial piety has been the most important virtue since ancient times. The Queen is the mother of the country. This official and the prince should go to pay their respects to her." Xu Tianze said with a solemn oath, with the light of filial piety flashing in his eyes.
Eunuch Fu felt somewhat uncomfortable when he heard Xu Tianze's words. He had not expected that the words he had just used to oppress the virtuous king would directly cause Lord Xu to refute him.
But I really feel like I have shot myself in the foot, and I don’t even know how to refute it.
