The next day, at the hour of Mao.
When it was time for court, Eunuch Su and a group of palace maids were already waiting outside the door for Song Wenjing to summon them.
Song Wenjing stood up with a satisfied look on his face, and without disturbing Jiang Jingyu beside him, he went to the outer hall to let the palace maid change his clothes for him.
Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and everyone in the palace has noticed it.
Eunuch Su had a smile on his face, he was so excited!
His Majesty finally consummated his marriage with the Empress!
Hahahaha!
He believes that the little prince or princess will be born soon, right?
As a close eunuch serving His Majesty, he must have many opportunities to meet the little prince or princess, right?
Hehe, when the time comes, he must take good care of the young masters! Watch them grow up with his own eyes!
Eunuch Su is over fifty years old and has seen too much of the noise and prosperity of the world. Now he just wants to stand there quietly and watch the little prince and princess be born and grow up.
The soft and tender little master makes people happy just by looking at him!
Eunuch Su couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
The palace maid who was changing clothes for Song Wenjing was stunned, and her eyes vaguely fell on Eunuch Su.
Dozens of eyes fell on him, and Eunuch Su finally realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly pretended to be calm, straightened his back, and picked up the crown beside him.
Song Wenjing, neatly dressed, turned and went to the inner hall, and kissed Jiang Jingyu on the forehead as if he was kissing a treasure.
Song Wenjing's mouth corners slightly raised. He put one hand behind his back. As he walked, his clothes fluttered like the wind, and his every move showed his dignity.
Eunuch Su followed slowly behind him. Not long after they walked out of Fengyi Palace, Song Wenjing suddenly stopped.
Eunuch Su stepped forward puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?"
Song Wenjing said seriously: "Well, my heart has fallen on Fengyi Palace."
Eunuch Su: “…”
Your Majesty, if you insist on saying so, I really have nothing to say...
Just when Eunuch Su didn't know how to respond, Song Wenjing spoke again.
"Do you know where I rested last night?"
Eunuch Su, who came to Fengyi Palace in the rain at night to hold an umbrella for Song Wenjing, said: "..."
Song Wenjing remained where he was, obviously waiting for Eunuch Su's reply.
What could Eunuch Su do? He could only answer along with what he said!
I am suffering so much, but I can’t express it!
Eunuch Su feigned surprise: "Could it be that His Majesty stayed in Fengyi Palace last night?"
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Song Wenjing chuckled, with a hint of pride in his tone: "That's right, I stayed in Fengyi Palace last night!"
Eunuch Su quietly looked up at Song Wenjing's tall figure. He actually saw the word "childish" in His Majesty?
Just as Eunuch Su was suspicious, the parrot raised by the Queen Mother flew over and landed on Song Wenjing's shoulder.
"Eat, eat."
The parrot kept repeating this sentence.
Song Wenjing turned his head to look at the parrot that had landed on his shoulder and said with a smile, "How did you know I stayed in Fengyi Palace last night?"
Eunuch Su: “…”
It's too shameful to watch!
…
General's Mansion.
Zhou Huaiqian has not attended court in the past few days. After the things he did in Miaojiang were exposed, he became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.
Zhou Huaiqian tried every possible way to suppress the matter, but under the secret manipulation of Jiang's father, the matter spread very quickly, leaving him no chance to react. In just half a day, it caused an uproar in the imperial city.
At this moment, Zhou Huaiqian was sitting on the armchair with a gloomy look on his face, listening to the servant reporting the situation outside.
With every word the servant spoke, Zhou Huaiqian's face darkened.
After the servant finished explaining the situation outside, Zhou Huaiqian's face had become extremely gloomy. He was filled with rage and wished he could tear those who talked about him behind his back into pieces!
The servant wanted to lower his head to his chest to reduce his presence, and didn't even dare to breathe.
He was afraid that the sound of his breathing would bring bad luck to Zhou Huaiqian and bring him death.
It was common for wealthy families to execute several servants, and no one would seek justice for them.
"General."
Just then the butler walked in from outside. The butler's arrival undoubtedly rescued the servant from dire straits.
Zhou Huaiqian's expression didn't soften at all because of the butler's arrival. He looked at the butler sinisterly and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper glanced at the servant in the room and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zhou Huaiqian's eyes darkened: "Step back."
"yes!"
The servant felt relieved and ran out quickly.
The butler then stepped forward with a mysterious look on his face and said, "General, the Wing Chun shop's order is due for delivery today. Once this deal is done, the General's Mansion will be among the top ten merchants in the Imperial City!"
"By then, the general's mansion will have a monopoly on all the tobacco in the imperial city. Even if the general is being squeezed out of power at court, he can still thrive thanks to the tobacco business!"
The butler blurted out in excitement, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had accidentally offended Zhou Huaiqian.
"General, that's not what I meant!"
The housekeeper shook his head and waved his hands nervously, fearing that Zhou Huaiqian would misunderstand.
Zhou Huaiqian narrowed his eyes and pondered the housekeeper's words carefully.
Tambaku was a business opportunity he discovered when he was in Miaojiang. Miao people like Tambaku, and he had tasted it a few times. The feeling was indeed relaxing and euphoric.
Zhou Huaiqian was sure that once Tanbaku flowed into the imperial city, it would set off a buying frenzy, and he would be able to make a fortune from Tanbaku.
Tanbaku only grows in Miaojiang. With his father-in-law helping to control it in Miaojiang, he can easily monopolize the Tanbaku in the imperial city. If you want Tanbaku, you can only buy it from him.
Zhou Huaiqian let out a breath, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. This was the only good news he had heard in the past few days.
"Is the information reliable?"
Zhou Huaiqian leaned back in his chair, his eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light.
This batch of Tambaku was supposed to be delivered two days ago, but the contact person, Manager Tong, sent a message saying that there was a thunderstorm and it could not be delivered at the agreed time.
Zhou Huaiqian had been busy with his deeds and remarks in the imperial city these days and had no time to pay attention to this matter. He only remembered it after the housekeeper reminded him.
Now his image has completely collapsed in the minds of the people, and no matter what means he uses, he cannot save it.
There was no place for him in the court, so he could only look for a way out elsewhere.
Zhou Huaiqian pursed his lips and made a plan in mind.
"Have someone keep a close eye on this shipment; there must be no mistakes!"
After Zhou Huaiqian gave the instructions with a serious face, he got up and went to the study.
"Yes, General!"
The butler also knew that this batch of goods was of vital importance to the general's mansion, so he did not dare to slack off. He hurried out of the guest room and continued to inquire about the current location of the goods.
After Zhou Huaiqian came to the study, he sat at the desk for a long time and finally made up his mind.
He picked up the brush and wrote two words on the rice paper - retirement.
