Chapter 43: Taking office
After bidding farewell to Mou Tai, Yang Ning returned to his dormitory in the corner of the Imperial Garden.
Xiang Zhongzheng was lying on the bed sleeping with his back stretched out, his bare feet still covered with dirt stretched out, and his mouth was drooling. The image was quite indecent. Yang Ning looked at this image very kindly, as usual,
Xiang Zhong did all Yang Ning's work for him this day, but he had never heard Xiang Zhong complain.
"Zhongzi, get up quickly, there's good news!" Yang Ning scratched Xiang Zhong's soles and said.
Mr. Xiang rubbed his feet, smacked his lips and woke up, "Hey! Brother Ning, you're back! Why have you been out for so long?"
"Of course there will be big things going on when we go out! Zhongzi, let me tell you the good news. We no longer need to work as handymen in the Imperial Garden, but will be transferred to Funing Palace to serve the princess!"
"Go, go to Funing Palace to serve the princess? Shall I go too?" Xiang Zhong said with surprise on his face. You know, from being a handy eunuch to serving as an errand in the princess palace, this status has been greatly improved. Then he will never go again.
He is not the lowest and most humble eunuch.
"Of course, I will be the general manager and you will be my assistant. We brothers will share the blessings!" Yang Ning decided from the moment he decided to go to Funing Palace to be the general manager. Of course, he could not leave Xiang Zhong behind when he became the general manager.
If he still works as a handyman in the imperial garden, he will ask Xiang Zhong to go with him. He believes that this matter should not be difficult to handle. If it doesn't work, he can ask Princess Yongning.
"You, you want to be the general manager?" Xiang Zhong's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hey! This is a trivial matter. Just look at it from now on. Not only will I be the general manager, but I will also be the general manager, and the chief of the ceremony. If you follow me, you will definitely be promoted step by step!" Yang Ning said proudly.
"Shh!" Xiang Zhong's expression changed and he quickly made a gesture of silence, "Brother Ning, you can't say this nonsense. If someone hears it, you will be beheaded!"
Yang Ning smiled slightly and said in her heart: I have already offended the biggest leader of the Supervisor of Ceremonies today, so what do I say?
"Brother Ning, why did you suddenly become the manager of Funing Palace?" Xiang Zhong said with excitement.
"Uh--, actually, it's because I rescued the princess when she fell into the water last night. For such a great contribution, the princess rewarded me with the title of steward!"
Yang Ning could only say this, and he himself felt very uncomfortable: he scared Princess Yongning into the water, and not only was she not beheaded, but the princess deposed Manager Jia and supported him to become the manager of Funing Palace!
I am so lucky that I have nothing to say!
"It turns out that you were the one who saved the princess from falling into the water last night. No wonder, haha! Brother Ning, you have become a prosperous person from now on!" Mr. Xiang was sincerely happy for Yang Ning and danced with joy.
"Haha! Let's become famous together!" Yang Ning also said happily.
After hearing this, Mr. Xiang suddenly looked gloomy and said: "Brother Ning, I won't go! You also know that I am a rough-hearted person and can only do some rough work. The princess is so noble, I am afraid that I will serve you
No, if I accidentally make another mistake, won't it cause trouble for you?"
Yang Ning looked solemn and said: "Zhongzi, why are you still saying such things to me? Since entering the palace, the two of us have been together. You help me and I help you. We have long been like brothers.
If we have the opportunity to climb up, of course we will join together!"
"But I'm really afraid that I won't be able to serve you, and I'll lose face at the end of the day!"
"Shit! Why do you look down on yourself so much? How many times have I told you that people must first think highly of themselves before others can think highly of themselves! Isn't it just that I am an errand in the princess palace? It's not a big deal. I don't have to do everything.
What? If it really doesn’t work, the worst we can do is come back and work as a handyman!"
Seeing that Yang Ning was a little angry, Xiang Zhong didn't dare to say anything anymore, and simply said: "Okay! Brother Ning, I listen to you!"
"This is so true!"
————————
"Is Eunuch Yang here?" Yang Ning was talking to Xiang Zhong when he heard someone shouting outside.
"Coming, coming!"
The visitor called me "Eunuch Yang". Could it be that the princess sent someone to pass him on? Although being called this way represented an improvement in his status, why did this title sound so awkward?
Yang Ning thought to herself and walked out of the house.
There was a little eunuch standing outside the house. He looked smart and held a whisk in his hand. Seeing Yang Ning coming out, the little eunuch said with a smile on his face: "This must be Eunuch Yang. Little Wang An, in Fu
Ning Palace is on duty, and I came here on orders from the princess to tell Eunuch Yang to join Funing Palace as the general manager!"
The princess really sent someone to call her, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon!
"Oh, Wang An, you go back and tell the princess first, I will pack my things and I will be there soon!"
"Yes! Eunuch Yang!" Wang An agreed respectfully, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said again: "Oh, by the way, Eunuch Yang, the princess also said that she would also summon someone to be with you.
The one named Xiang Zhong went to Funing Palace as an errand together, and she has also asked the emperor to say hello to the new manager of the Sixth Palace!"
"Oh? Very good! I know!" Yang Ning felt happy for a while. This princess is really considerate. Knowing that she and Xiang Zhong have a good relationship, she didn't have to worry about it, so she had already thought of it in advance. She was really thoughtful.
As soon as Wang An left, Yang Ning returned to the house and happily said to Xiang Zhong: "Zhongzi, pack your things and enter Funing Palace!"
Xiang Zhong had just heard the conversation between Wang An and Yang Ning, and immediately packed up his things without hesitation.
"Brother Ning, if you say we leave, who will do the work in the imperial garden?" When leaving, Xiang Zhong asked Yang Ning with some reluctance.
"Who cares? Someone will take over for us anyway, let's go!" Yang Ning said angrily. It's already this time, and Xiang Zhong still can't forget the errand of work. It seems that he will have to teach him how to be a good person in the future.
It’s right to “be superior to others”, otherwise how can we entrust him with important responsibilities in the future!
Yang Ning had already planned it. In this deep palace where there was always a crisis, he had to pay attention to cultivating his own power from the beginning and work hard to develop and strengthen it. Only in this way could he be invincible in the future intrigues and deceptions, and be able to go smoothly.
survive on earth.
Leading Xiang Zhong to Funing Palace, he saw Ying'er leading two eunuchs standing at the entrance of the palace from a distance.
"Yang——, Manager Yang, you're here!" Ying'er said happily when she saw Yang Ning, but there was a hint of worry in her eyebrows.
"Miss Ying'er, we haven't seen each other for a while, why are you so different from me? You should just call me 'Yang Ning', this 'manager' sounds awkward!" Yang Ning said with a smile, pointing behind her again.
Xiang Zhong said: "This is Xiang Zhong, my good brother who worked with me in the Royal Garden!"
"Oh, he is Xiang Zhong. Just now the princess specifically asked the emperor for him! Let's stop standing around and go in. I have already arranged your accommodation!"
"By the way, how is the princess? Has the emperor left?" Yang Ning asked as she walked inside.
Ying'er immediately became sad and said, "Your Majesty left long ago! When you left, the princess seemed to be in good condition, but after all the troubles in the imperial garden and being angry with Meng Tong's group, her condition became a little worse. Now she is
Rest in the bedroom!"
"Oh? Take me to see it quickly!" Princess Yongning not only did not blame Yang Ning, but also mentioned him as the general manager. Yang Ning is now very grateful and caring for this kind princess.
After handing the things to Xiang Zhong, the eunuch led Xiang Zhong to his residence, while Yang Ning followed Ying'er to the princess's palace.
The Funing Palace is divided into two layers of palaces and courtyards. The outer layer is where the eunuchs live, and the inner layer is divided into the main hall and the side hall. Of course, Princess Yongning lives in the main hall, while the maids of Funing Palace live in the main hall.
Live in the side halls on both sides.
"Princess, Manager Yang is here!" Ying'er said softly while standing outside the dormitory.
"Let him in, cough!" Princess Yongning's weak voice came from the dormitory, accompanied by a cough.
Yang Ning's heart tightened, and she followed Ying'er into the bedroom.
The dormitory is very peaceful, and the incense burner in one corner is burning fine sandalwood, adding to the tranquility.
Princess Yongning was originally lying on the couch, and was about to struggle to get up. Ying'er quickly stepped forward to support her, "Princess, you are weak, so don't get up!"
"No, it's okay, Ying'er, help me up!"
Ying'er had no choice but to help Princess Yongning up and put two soft pillows behind her so that Princess Yongning could half-rely on the soft pillows and be more comfortable.
"Slave Yang Ning, please bow to the princess!" Yang Ning said and was about to kneel down.
"Yang——, Mr. Yang, there is no need for this. In the future in Funing Palace, these common etiquette should be avoided!" Princess Yongning quickly waved her hand to stop Yang Ning.
Of course Yang Ning was happy, so he did not kneel down. Then he asked with concern: "Princess, I heard that your illness has worsened again. How do you feel now?"
After a while, Princess Yongning's face turned even paler, and she looked as weak as a serious illness.
Princess Yongning smiled bitterly, "I just felt a little bit unwell today because I was a little angry and a little emotional. Actually, it's not a big deal. I've been used to it every year!"
This sentence is full of bitterness. This Princess Yongning is also quite pitiful. I don’t know how many illnesses she has suffered in these years! I must help her! Yang Ning thought in her heart.
"Princess, you should take good care of yourself. When you get better, I will take you to play. I know a lot of fun things. I am sure you have never seen or heard of them!"
Seeing Yang Ning's eagerness to try, Princess Yongning couldn't help but smile and nodded lightly.
"Mr. Yang——, Eunuch Yang, from now on our Funing Palace will replace you as the general manager. You will be much better than that bastard General Manager Jia. You must behave well in the future and protect the interests of our Funing Palace!"
"Haha, of course! If anyone messes with our princess or the people of Funing Palace in the future, I will rip off his head and use it as a ball to kick!" Yang Ninghao said with great enthusiasm.
"Hee! You are not bragging. Thinking of the pig-headed beating that Mr. Jia received from you today, I felt relieved. I couldn't see that you are not very young, but you are quite violent and can fight well!" Ying'er looked admiring.
appearance.
Princess Yongning also smiled and said: "Thankfully, Yang Ning showed off his power and beat down our hated Manager Jia!"
Yang Ning suddenly raised his hand to Princess Yongning and said: "Princess, Yang Ning thanks you very much. Not only did you not hold me accountable for scaring you... uh..., you also made me the manager of Funing Palace. From now on,
I, Yang Ning, must do my best to repay the princess’ kindness!”
Princess Yongning blushed and said: "You told me that you didn't want to be promoted, but I made my own decision and made you the general manager. Please don't take it personally!"
"Princess, what are you talking about? Princess can give me this opportunity. I can't thank you enough!" Yang Ning paused and said again: "Princess, you are tired after talking for a long time, so you should rest first! I just finished today
When you take office, go out and familiarize yourself with the business first!" Yang Ning noticed that Princess Yongning had already shown signs of fatigue and was struggling to talk to herself, so she said.
Yang Ning's modern terminology sounded a bit strange to Princess Yongning, but she did not ask further questions. She just said: "Oh, okay! I am really a little tired, so please leave first!" After that, she greeted her again.
Er said: "Ying'er, Manager Yang is new here. You need to help him with many things!"
"Yes!" Ying'er agreed.
