After hearing what the consultant said, Tingyu understood the reason.
Last night, it wasn't just the eunuchs who suffered greatly; the palace maids guarding outside the door did too.
Tingyu said, "Eunuch Gu, I understand, but Her Majesty is still sleeping. I will definitely pass on your message once Her Majesty wakes up."
The consultant said, "Oh, then we thank Miss Tingyu very much."
Listening to the rain, "His Majesty hasn't finished his morning court session yet. Even if you return to Qianqing Palace, you'll have nothing to do. Why don't you have some tea and snacks at Jingren Palace?"
The advisor was somewhat tempted by this, after all, he would surely benefit from establishing a good relationship with Jingren Palace.
But he had already risen to the position of Grand Eunuch, making him the first among eunuchs to achieve this.
What he lacks is not money, but someone to lend him a helping hand when he is in danger or encounters difficulties.
The advisor hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, although he was worried that the emperor would be unhappy (no emperor would want his personal eunuch to have a good relationship with a concubine in the harem, even if he was very fond of that concubine).
But if I just wait a little while and go to the Qianqing Palace, the Emperor will definitely not have finished court yet, and he probably won't ask him what a eunuch has done.
The consultant smiled and said, "Then we thank Miss Tingyu very much."
When Tingyu said "Please, Father-in-law," Tingyu took the consultant to have tea and snacks.
Listen to the rain, listen to the snow, serve tea.
Listening to the snow, "Yes."
Which of the women in the harem, especially the trusted maids of the concubines, wasn't exceptionally intelligent?
(Of course, there are very few exceptions).
So I heard that the tea served to the advisors was also the newly offered pre-rain Longjing tea.
Tingxue said, "Eunuch Gu, have some tea."
Ting Shuang had just brought over two plates of snacks from the small kitchen.
Ting Shuang said, "Eunuch Gu, please have some snacks. These snacks were specially made by the chef that Her Majesty brought from her own home. Ordinary people can't get to eat them."
Ting Shuang's words also pointed out that even though the advisor was just a eunuch, Jingren Palace still treated her as a guest.
The consultant understood this perfectly and immediately thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much, Miss Tingshuang. Our family is truly blessed today."
Changping, the head eunuch of Jingren Palace, said, "Brother Gu, I'll keep you company."
Even though he was the head eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, it wasn't really appropriate for a palace maid to accompany him; it was better for a eunuch to accompany him. So Tingyu summoned Changping.
The advisor left after only a short while at Jingren Palace; he dared not stay any longer.
If the emperor were to leave court early and not see him, although the emperor wouldn't say anything, he would still feel some resentment.
Generally speaking, it's not unusual for eunuchs to curry favor with favored concubines, but his status as a eunuch made things different.
When the advisor was drinking tea and eating snacks, he noticed that the tea was top-quality pre-rain Longjing tea. He had tasted this tea before. Emperor Kangxi always had someone taste the tea he drank, and he would not drink the first brew of tea.
As for the pastries, although he couldn't tell which chef made them, he could still tell the taste was different from the ones in the palace. He figured they must have been sent in by someone from the Imperial Noble Consort's household.
Despite receiving such treatment at Jingren Palace, Advisor Xing was still pleased. As long as he didn't go too far, maintaining a certain level of friendly relations with Jingren Palace was still very necessary.
The advisor stood up and said, "I thank Miss Tingyu for her hospitality, but I should leave now, otherwise the Emperor will question me after court."
Changping understood that the advisors were not too willing to stay in Jingren Palace for long. If Kangxi held a grudge, he would not have an easy time in the future, so he got up and respectfully saw them off.
Changping said, "Then the younger brother will see the older brother off."
As he spoke, he took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Wenxing. Although Gu Wenxing was not short of money, sometimes the meaning behind a reward is different depending on who gives it.

Qianqing Palace
Not long after the advisor returned to the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi ended the court session.
Emperor Kangxi strode into the Qianqing Palace and sat on the dragon throne.
He casually flipped open a folded booklet and asked, "Has the item been delivered?"
The advisor replied, "Your Majesty, this servant has brought some rare and unusual items to Jingren Palace, but the Imperial Noble Consort has not yet risen."
The advisor's reply was exactly what Kangxi expected. He knew perfectly well just how much his Imperial Noble Consort could sleep.
Generally, there's nothing to do; it's normal to sleep until late morning, and sometimes you can have lunch right after waking up.
Kangxi said, "Alright, I understand. Go and have someone bring the meal."
The advisor replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
After the consultant left the shop, he sent someone to deliver breakfast.
After reading two memorials, Emperor Kangxi went to have breakfast, which was usually the time when he was reviewing memorials.
Looking at the food laid out on the table, Kangxi felt a mix of emotions. The food looked appealing, but it didn't taste as good as what was made in the small kitchen of Jingren Palace. However, Jingren Palace certainly wouldn't be serving breakfast at this time.
Even if he goes to Jingren Palace, the small kitchen will have to start all over again. Even on ordinary days, Jingren Palace rarely serves breakfast, because the master of Jingren Palace can eat lunch directly after waking up.
Although it wasn't very tasty, Emperor Kangxi still ate it. What else could he do but eat it?
I still have to approve memorials, but thankfully, I can go to Qingqing's place for lunch again around noon.
When Kangxi thought of this, he immediately thought of Yinreng, who seemed to often go to Jingren Palace for meals. Could it be that it wasn't because the food at Jingren Palace was delicious?
Although the meal was tasteless, it didn't change anything.
No one knows the suffering of Emperor Kangxi. As the ruler of the world and the supreme emperor, the food he ate was not as good as that of his imperial concubine.
Jingren Palace
noon
Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, not even knowing what year it was.
It moved slightly, trying to turn over.
Wanwan whimpered, "Waaah!"
"It hurts so much," Wanwan said. After saying these words, Wanwan realized that not only did her whole body hurt, but her voice was also very hoarse.
My hand unconsciously went to my waist. How to describe the feeling? The author couldn't say either. It was probably soreness.
After rubbing her waist, Wanwan felt a little better. But when she raised her arm, the sight inside shocked her. Was this a normal person's arm?
Just by looking at Wanwan's arms, which were covered in bruises and red marks, anyone could tell what had happened.
Upon seeing this, Wanwan immediately lifted the blanket and looked at her own body. Alas, it was truly a pitiful sight.
Wanwan: Did Emperor Kangxi never eat meat, or did he not summon any concubines to his bedchamber during the year she was pregnant?
Wanwan: But that shouldn't be the case. Although Kangxi visited the harem less frequently, it was still normal for the concubines to serve him in bed. There were no unexpected incidents.
Why are fewer and fewer people reading books? (?_?)
Friends, please give it a thumbs up!
