Woo hoo... It seems that I am disliked by my master...
It's not his fault that he looks like this. He also wants to lose some meat, but there are people in the imperial kitchen serving delicious food every day to show his respect. There is nothing he can do if a foodie can't control his stomach.
Eunuch De tugged at his fat face, which was almost like a cucumber frame, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, we are rich."
Xiao Li moved his wrist and kicked him impatiently: "Okay, don't just show off, have you finished what I asked you to do?"
"Okay, okay, my servant is doing this. Your Majesty, you can rest assured." Eunuch De said with a flattering look on his face. He almost didn't hold his head in front of his head to make the promise. However, thinking of his master's explanation, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Your Majesty, what are you doing today?
Wan Zhen is not going to listen to Snow Palace anymore? The imperial concubine is also the highest-ranking empress in the harem. The servant has arranged everything you told her. She can't find any flaws, but this... there won't be any problems with this, right?
?”
"He has passed now?" Xiao Li raised his eyebrows in response.
Eunuch De nodded hurriedly: "I asked him to count the time and ensure that no one else becomes suspicious."
Xiao Li nodded indifferently: "Didn't you just say that Shen Che came to me to report something urgent? Where are the others?"
Not long after he let Shen Che leave the palace, did he bring him back?
"Uh, what's that..." A drop of cold sweat slipped down Mr. De's forehead: "This servant is not in a hurry to let the emperor come out and has no other way to find this excuse. Shen Che is also the emperor's person after all, and everyone will follow him.
I can't tell anything from my mouth, but if I say that a minister wants to see the emperor, and a thoughtful person goes to the palace gate and asks, who comes in and who goes out is registered, then the whole story will be revealed."
"Not bad." Xiao Li rubbed his eyebrows: "Well done. You can continue to watch outside the Snow Palace. Remember to watch carefully and don't make any mistakes."
"But the Emperor——"
Eunuch De hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him loudly: "When Commander Shen Che left the palace, he asked his servant to remind the emperor that the medicine is almost ready. If you don't collect it together, it will become invalid as soon as time passes.
Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?"
Eunuch De knew the purpose of the medicine his master needed for a long time, but he only recently learned that his master had never touched those women who died in the past. Now that man went to Tingxue Palace again, he really didn't know.
What to do.
"There are only three left, it's not urgent." Xiao Li said quietly, standing quietly looking out the window at the night for a long time, then took out a small locked iron box and gently rubbed it in his palm, as if
She handed it to him casually as if she had made up her mind: "Eunuch De, put this into the warehouse."
Eunuch De took it carefully, fearing that it was some precious and fragile treasure: "Your Majesty, this is...? Which pavilion should I put it in?" The emperor's private storehouse is the treasure pavilion in the palace, where all the world is gathered.
The rare treasures are distributed according to their levels and types, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"It's not a rare thing. There is no need to register it. Just leave it as you like." Xiao Li paused and continued: "I will leave the palace soon and will not be back tonight. If there is any movement in the palace, let the guards come.
Report, remember, anyone who inquires about you must let them know that your master stayed at the Snow Palace tonight and did not go anywhere."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch De did not dare to say any more. He clearly saw that Emperor Jingyuan's profile was expressionless. But after saying this, he turned his face again, with a smile already hanging on the corner of his mouth. He was handsome and evil.
Charming, without flaws.
Although he really wanted to mention the news about the person who needed medicine to his master, Mr. De finally held it back for a long time.
Forget it, there's still one month left.
When that person really shows up, whether the emperor wants her or Miss Jin, it won't have much impact on him. He'd better not talk too much, so as not to annoy his master...
*****************************
Yanxi Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the birthday peach chair with a gloomy face: "You are all from Prince Duan's Mansion. Please tell the Ai family. Prince Duan and Su Jin'er looked very familiar at the banquet today. What happened to them? When did we meet?"
Several servants of the palace who were kneeling below kowtowed in fear: "Empress Dowager, please forgive me, except for the prince coming back at night, he is never seen during the day. The servants really don't know how the prince and Su Jin'er got together."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said dissatisfied: "The Ai family asked you to take good care of the prince in the palace and not let random people approach His Highness. Is this how you do things? The Ai family sees that you can live a leisurely life in the palace. Everyone is just a loser, so it doesn’t matter if they take back their previous promises.”
"Queen Mother, please calm down! I have remembered this!"
Hearing the Queen Mother angrily saying that she wanted to withdraw her promise, several servants became even more panicked. That was a huge sum of money.
A servant hurriedly shouted: "Although I don't know how the prince and Su Jin'er met, she has also been to the palace once. I have seen it. The prince seems to be very close to her. Madam, servant That’s all I know for now.”
The Queen Mother leaned down and looked at the speaker, twirling her long bright red nails, and said dangerously: "You said they are very close? How close?"
The servant didn't dare to lie. The strong pressure from the superior made him swallow nervously, and after thinking for a while, he replied truthfully: "The prince has always been affectionate and cherishes the beauty, and he has brought many women back to the mansion to spend the night, but the prince treats Miss Jin. It’s not the tenderness and sweetness like towards other girls, it’s more like... well... it’s more like there’s a bit of sincerity in it.”
Fortunately, Xiao Xuan is not here, otherwise he would fly over after hearing these words. Who said that those who treat each other sincerely must be lovers, but can't they be friends!
Sincerely? Or towards Su Jiner?
The Queen Mother's brows knitted when she heard that. She didn't care what the emperor did to Su Jin'er, but Prince Duan was her most beloved baby, and she would never allow him to have any feelings for Su Jin'er, even if Now that it has happened, she will nip it in the bud.
"The Ai family knows, please retreat."
How could the Queen Mother, who had a son that emerged from her belly, not understand the character of Xiao Xuan? She dismissed a few people and paced in the palace with a depressed heart.
No, she must stop them as soon as possible. A woman like Su Jin'er is not worthy of her precious son.
But before she caught Su Jin'er's fault, she couldn't do anything to her. Her son would feel distressed for a long time even if he didn't even move her son. If the emperor refused to listen to her advice, then it would be too late. To no avail.
The only way now is for the third child to appoint a princess as soon as possible, and pick a few he likes as concubines. With a mistress in the house, he can be distracted, so that he will no longer have sex with that girl Su Jin'er. Stir together.
The Queen Mother thought for a long time before calling the maid who was close to her. "Yan Xi, come here."
The palace maid, who had been her confidant for many years, lowered her head respectfully: "The Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother said with a sullen face: "To convey the wishes of the Ai family, go to the palace to find some reliable nuns, and ask them to bring the portraits of all the famous ladies in Ye City to Duanwang Mansion, regardless of whether they are the principal concubine or the side concubine.
I have to persuade the prince to choose one. The Ai family is still counting on the royal family to spread its branches. Please tell me to go down and do it immediately."
****************************
Prince Duan's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
The little maid in the house blushed and lowered her head. She took a scroll from the pile of scrolls and presented it to Xiao Xuan. She blushed even more when she saw Xiao Xuan's handsome face that was so handsome that all living beings were stunned.
"They are all messy things." Xiao Xuan frowned and was very impatient. He took it and wanted to throw it away, but the palace steward coughed lightly and winked at him, probably asking him to deal with it. He was helpless.
I could only watch, one after another, and then I would leave after raising my legs.
He has to go out to find Xiao Jin'er, so he doesn't have time to sit here and choose some future princess.
Xiao Jin'er, really, it's not fun to embarrass him alone and run away early at the banquet. It's so cool.
Seeing that this gentleman was about to get out of the way, the plumpest of the palace maids shouted: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
Xiao Xuan was a little confused by that roar, so angry! If you practice harder, you can become a first-generation airbender.
They came here with the Queen Mother's orders. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for them to go back, and they cannot let the person concerned leave.
The middle-aged grandma rushed to Xiao Xuan with a portrait and said with a smile like a morning glory: "Your Highness Duan Wang, this girl is the granddaughter of the Mo family in Yecheng. She has good character, good looks, and a good family background. How can you treat her so well?"
If you are dissatisfied with anything, please tell me so that I can choose a new one for you."
The housekeeper also came up to take a look and nodded. The prince was too picky, but he was quite nice. The girl really didn't know what she disliked about him.
Xiao Xuan only glanced at the portrait: "Everything about me is not satisfactory."
Mammy was astonished and thought to herself, "Good boy, I have long heard that King Duan was uninhibited and uninhibited, and that even a leaf among thousands of flowers would not touch him. Today, when I saw His Highness King Duan, his eyes were not on the top of his head, but they were flying to the sky."
No wonder there are a lot of women in the palace, but the backyard has always been vacant, not to mention that the princess doesn't even have a concubine. She doesn't believe this evil today, and she will definitely put an end to this single playboy in her hands!
Grandma smiled like a trumpet flower: "Your Majesty, look at Miss Mo's eyes, how big, round and juicy she is..."
Xiao Xuan curled his lips in disgust and said, "A cow's eyes are big, round and watery."
Grandma was suffocated and said for a long time: "...There are also some that are not round." She picked out a picture from the pile of scrolls with great accuracy and unfolded it.
Xiao Xuan: "Where are the eyes? I didn't see them."
Grandma: "..."
Xiao Xuan looked at her with some pity: "Actually, the princess in my heart is quite difficult to find. You'd better not waste your efforts. Go back to your mother and tell her that I'm not in a hurry now."
Hard to find? Just because it’s hard to find doesn’t mean it’s not available!
I'm afraid that this man doesn't ask for it. It's best to do it as long as he asks for it. According to the Queen Mother's doting on Prince Duan, as long as it's something he likes, not to mention all the women in Da Qin, even the stars in the sky will be picked for him.
Come down.
Mammy immediately resurrected on the spot with full health: "Serving the prince is a blessing that slaves have cultivated for several lifetimes. As long as the prince has a goal in his heart, you have to tell us what it is so that we can have an idea." Mammy secretly said to herself.
Proud, hey, with her decades of experience in the palace, she has not yet figured out what kind of woman His Highness Prince Duan wants.
Thinking about the attractive reward when the deed is accomplished, Grandma smiled again and again: "I wonder if the prince has any other preferences in appearance?"
Prince Duan waved the fan in his hand and said seriously: "Do you really want to know?"
Several nuns nodded like garlic, and even the housekeeper stretched out his ears attentively, thinking silently in his heart, the prince liked all of his confidants, and he brought them back to spend the night with him too many to count, but he alone didn't know how to do it.
Taking people into the backyard became a mystery in the palace. On behalf of hundreds of people in the palace, he expressed curiosity and wanted to know the truth.
Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment: "In fact, I don't ask for much. The voice should not be too thin, the words should not be blushing, the hands and feet should not be too weak, the stature should not be too short, and the appearance should be pleasing to the eyes of the king. It does not matter whether the person is beautiful or not. If you can get in,
You can get into the kitchen and enter the hall, you can fight and climb over walls, you can go to a brothel and fight gangsters, that's pretty much it."
Everyone suddenly opened their mouths in silence, and the housekeeper was sweating coldly. Is the prince talking about a woman? Which girl is so strong? How can such a woman be married?
"...Your Majesty, do you have any other requests?" Grandma said with difficulty, and the morning glory only half bloomed.
Xiao Xuan thought for a while, and then added: "It's best to have some drinking capacity. You can have a few drinks with me, but don't like crazy women when you're drunk."
The nuns took a breath for a while, as if they had died and come back to life: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, if you heard me right, you want to find someone who is pleasing to your eyes. His face... doesn't need to be too delicate, someone who is tall, strong, and capable."
Someone who accompanies you to drink and fight with you?" Grandma is embarrassed to call such a person a "female" person.
Xiao Xuan touched his chin narcissistically and nodded: "Of course, how can you be so beautiful to set off my handsome and unrestrained king."
In an instant, everyone's jaws dropped to the ground.
The butler silently took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. If the prince doesn't want to have a concubine, just say so. The description is too scary. He can't let the prince's gang of fans know this preference, otherwise they will already be eagerly eyeing the position of the princess.
The girls all ran to imitate him one by one.
He really didn't dare to imagine what a horrible scene it would be for the delicate girls to turn into what the prince described...
*******************************
On the other side, listen to snow palace.
There were no palace attendants, and only one candle was burning.
Su Lingxue waited in the palace for a long time, and finally heard the footsteps outside the palace again, and couldn't help but welcome her.
She had just walked a few steps when a wind seemed to blow in, and the only fire in the hall went out. She was startled, and the next second she was hugged by someone and hugged her sideways.
"Xue'er, I kept you waiting."
When Su Lingxue was panicking, she heard the deep voice of the other party. It was His Majesty the Emperor. She couldn't help but lay in his arms and blushed with shame and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, let's take a rest..."
Chapter completed!
