Chapter 5 No one in Fengxiang Palace can resist the temptation of the warehouse, especially...
Lin Caizi was conferred the title not long ago, which was two months ago, and exactly one month after Cheng Changgeng traveled through time.
As a newcomer, Cheng Changgeng was unfamiliar with the environment and tried hard to play the role of a qualified tyrant. However, no matter how hard he tried to cover it up, there was one thing he could not get over.
That is to favor the concubines in the harem.
Every time he heard Su Mian complain about his vision, he wanted to cry out for injustice, saying it was all the original owner's fault!
Even though he was a gay, he was not excited about becoming the emperor of a man's country, and it was impossible for him to touch a man who had originally been with him.
As far as he could remember, the original owner would stay in the harem eight out of ten days. Cheng Changgeng even thought that the original owner might have died suddenly from excessive indulgence, which was why he was transported here.
Therefore, he did not enter the harem for a month after he came here, which caused all kinds of rumors.
He had no other choice but to think of a way himself. From among the actors who came to the palace to perform, he picked Lin Caizi based on the type that the original owner liked.
Lin Caizi's family background is not good. Perhaps it is true that he has a mad father, a drinking father, a young brother, and a broken self. So he is a good choice for Cheng Changgeng and is easy to handle.
From then on, Lin Caizi became the most favored concubine in the harem and was summoned to Mingzheng Palace almost every night, making the other concubines extremely envious.
But Su Mian didn’t know about this!
He would never have thought about how difficult it would be to give back to his sisters with the money he had collected.
The next morning, Su Mian got up from the soft bed beside the steps with sleepy eyes, watching Cheng Changgeng open the door as soon as it was light.
Yesterday it was his turn to keep watch. It was a summer night and it was quite comfortable to keep watch outside. The yard was spacious and the wind was not hot. There were only some mosquitoes occasionally, but it was bearable.
In fact, as the chief eunuch, Su Mian no longer needs to do work like night watch.
The west wing hall where he lived now was close to the emperor's bedroom. If anything happened, it would still be in time for the eunuch to inform him.
He just wanted to eavesdrop, that's why he stayed up all night yesterday.
But he didn't expect that the Dog Emperor would get up so early!
Is this the time a tyrant, a corrupt official, or a cruel ruler should wake up?
Su Mian seriously suspected that the Dog Emperor had a histrionic personality.
He was suspicious and complained in his heart.
[What is the dog emperor pretending to be!] The only thing in my head is xxoo and ooxx. Do you understand? ]
Fatal complaints are not scary, what is scary is that the person who made the complaint heard it and didn’t even realize it.
Cheng Changgeng, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly when he heard this, and Su Mian nearly bumped into him. He braked slammingly, still in a bad mood from waking up, and couldn't help but curse the dog emperor in his heart for the hundredth time.
Cheng Changgeng was not annoyed. Listening to Su Mian's modern words, he deeply felt that he once belonged to the modern world. He was not a product of the current world, and was not a complete tyrant.
"Su Mian."
"The servant is here."
He spoke, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction in his tone.
Nonsense, it’s fine to curse in private, but who dares to challenge a boss with a bad temper?
"Pass on my decree. Mr. Lin will be promoted to Lady Lin. Go and pick out some good things from the warehouse and send them over."
"I accept your order."
After Su Mian agreed, he thought:
[This talented Lin really served the dog emperor well, and the dog emperor was so generous to him. ]
Then, he thought about the warehouse that Cheng Changgeng mentioned, and his eyes suddenly sparkled, without any trace of sleepiness at all.
[There must be a lot of gold, silver and treasures in the warehouse! If I secretly take two, no one will know. ]
Su Mian was obsessed with money. Cheng Changgeng listened to his mumblings, but instead of getting angry, he smiled with his back to Su Mian.
Ever since Su Mian came here, he felt as if he had a pet, and his life became more lively.
After giving a wink to the eunuch behind him to follow, Su Mian watched Cheng Changgeng's bright yellow figure disappear at the entrance of Mingzheng Hall, and then happily went to Fengxiang Palace.
There lived the royal prince of Lanling Kingdom, who was currently the man with the highest status in the harem.
After helping the emperor get up early, Lin Caizi hurried to Fengxiang Palace to pay his respects to the emperor, so Su Mian had to make this trip as well.
On the way, Su Mian kept searching his head for memories about this royal nobleman, but he found that he didn't remember much. He had only seen him on some important occasions, and even his appearance was a little vague.
When they arrived at Fengxiang Palace, they were led by a young eunuch into the main hall. There were two rows of people sitting in the hall. Together with the eunuchs serving them, there were probably about 20 to 30 people.
When they saw Su Mian, their eyes sparkled and they stared at him expectantly, all hoping that Su Mian would bring them some good news.
After all, they all stuffed money in, and they all thought they were the only ones who stuffed money in.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
Su Mian ignored those burning gazes and knelt in the center of the hall.
"Eunuch Su, please get up quickly. You came to me today. What does the emperor want you to do?"
"Reply to the Emperor's words."
At this time, Su Mian looked up at Huang Guijun, and the blurred face overlapped clearly at this moment.
The man at the top was sitting upright, his bright red clothes making his skin look exceptionally fair. Compared with the concubines below him, although he was somewhat charming, his brows were more heroic and he was able to control the situation.
However, you can still tell at a glance that it is a real 0.
After a few seconds of wandering thoughts, Su Mian came back to his senses and continued, "I am here to announce the Emperor's decree by His Majesty's order."
As soon as he said this, the concubines below stood up and saluted, including the emperor, who also stood up and waited for Su Mian to speak.
I have to say, this feeling is really great. Su Mian has experienced the joy of being above everyone else and below everyone else.
"The emperor has issued an oral decree that Lin Caizi has served the emperor with merit and has been promoted to the title of Jia Ren's son."
After saying this, Su Mian turned to Lin Caizi and congratulated him respectfully and politely: "Congratulations, Lady Lin. The emperor's reward will be delivered to your palace later."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Lin Jiaren smiled bitterly, forcing herself to show joy, staring at the envious and jealous eyes of the people around her, but no one knew her pain.
But this is the path he chose, and he has to bear it.
It's just that he didn't get the emperor's real favor. Now his life is much better than when he was at home, and he can even support his younger brother at home.
But sometimes he would wonder, is he really that unattractive? The emperor would always fall asleep amid his yelling.
He absolutely dared not say these things, for one, he would lose his head, and two, he would lose face.
He can tell what is important and what is not.
Seeing that Lin Jiaren didn't look well, Su Mian just thought that he was tired from serving her in bed last night. In his heart, he cursed Lin Jiaren for being a dog emperor, for torturing her like this and having no mercy on women!
After announcing the decree, his mission was half completed. He couldn't wait to go to the dog emperor's warehouse and plunder it.
But as soon as he left Fengxiang Palace, the emperor ended today's greetings, and those men came out of the palace in groups of two or three.
Su Mian was afraid that they would ask him to return the money, so he quickened his pace, but was still stopped.
"Eunuch Su!"
“Hey~”
[Ma! ]
Su Mian had a smile on his face, pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth, squinting his eyes and smiling. He turned around and found that it was Lin Jiaren who called him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they weren't his creditors.
"My lady, what can I do for you? I am in a hurry to the storehouse to give you a reward."
[If you have something to say, please speak up! If not, please leave!] Don't delay me from replenishing my slush fund! ]
"Eunuch Su, thank you for coming here. I haven't had the chance to thank you yet."
As she spoke, Lin Jiaren glanced at the young eunuch who was serving her closely, and the latter pretended to trip and bumped into Su Mian, and then a heavy purse appeared in Su Mian's sleeve.
With so many people around, Lin Jiaren could only use some tricks. To please Su Mian has become an unspoken secret in the harem.
"Oh, my lady, you are too polite. I am just following the emperor's orders."
[This Lady Lin is so generous! like! ]
Su Mian's pursed lips blossomed with joy the moment he touched the purse. He bared his teeth and was even happier than the crowned Lin Jiaren. At this moment, he was truly happy.
After exchanging a few polite words with Lin Jiaren, Su Mian had just taken two steps when he heard a sarcastic voice behind him, but it was not directed at him.
He was curious and slowed down his pace to listen carefully. It was Rong Ceqing's voice.
"Oh, Lady Lin has made great progress. She is the first one in the harem to be favored."
"Brother Rong, you are joking. The emperor just likes to listen to ditties recently, so he is a little partial to me."
"Oh, something that is not presentable."
Rong Ceqing originally wanted to slap Lin Jiaren, but seeing Su Mian right in front of him, he was afraid of giving the emperor a bad reputation, so he endured it.
Su Mian found it boring, thinking that this man's palace fighting was similar to the women in TV dramas, so it was boring.
Quickening his pace, he rushed to the warehouse.
Standing at the door of the warehouse, Su Mian's eyes almost popped out as he looked at the room full of gold, silver and jewelry that blinded his eyes.
He touched left and right, and pinched, and found a handful of gold, which he rubbed against his face so hard that he couldn't move his feet at all.
After silencing his drool, he did not forget his business. He selected some jewelry according to the share given to the beautiful lady and sent it to her by his eunuch.
Then he continued to indulge.
——
On the other side, Cheng Changgeng rubbed his brow tiredly after coming down from court.
The emperor had been tyrannical in the past, but now that he was a little calmer, many people wanted to climb up the ladder, making him exhausted and unable to cope with it.
We can only punish a few typical examples according to the original owner's temper to put some pressure on him.
When he returned to Mingzheng Hall, he saw that the tea was cold. He then remembered that Su Mian was not there, and asked the eunuch below: "Where is Su Mian?"
"In reply to the emperor, Eunuch Su... is still in the warehouse."
Hearing this, Cheng Changgeng almost laughed out of anger.
Originally, when he heard Su Mian getting up early, he complained in his heart that it was too early to get up, so he found an excuse to get promoted, thinking that he would have time to rest after delivering the oral order.
As a result, people are still staying in the warehouse?
He had to go and see.
So he didn't ask anyone to follow him and went to the storehouse from the front hall alone.
From a distance, close to the warehouse, he could hear the mumbling of the people inside...
