Chapter 7 Flop
"You are the emperor. If you want great love, you have to have a bowl of water to balance it, right?"
"Your Majesty, I am thinking of you. Aren't you worried that... there is such a powerful family? You must favor the concubines sent to the palace by other ministers' families..."
You bad old man... Xuanyuan Jing cursed in his heart, but his handsome face still had a smile on his face and nodded seriously:
"Liu Aiqing is right."
"Your Majesty, I also have a beloved daughter who has been in the palace for two years..."
The Minister of Hube quickly knelt down on the ground, his eyes burning, looking at the emperor expectantly.
Xuanyuan Jing's fists clenched under the desk. If the courtiers' cooperation in handling affairs increases because of this, there is nothing wrong with favoring the other concubines, but...but she is a woman...
It seems that the only option is to ask Zhao Wujiang to help...
In order for my Daxia court to prosper, I have to sacrifice him...
Xuanyuan Jing rubbed his eyebrows, and then said warmly:
"Don't worry, dear friends, I will make sure to catch the rain and the dew."
Zhongshu Ling and the six ministers bowed.
"The Emperor Shengde has issued a grand edict, and the veterans will do their best to obey it!"
"Step back." Xuanyuan Jing said majestically.
Zhongshu Ling and the six ministers retired, opened the door of the imperial study, and then closed it respectfully.
A cheering voice came from outside the door, and the voice came from one of the six ministers.
"It seems that the battle between Dragon and Son is imminent. Those old clan members all have daughters in the harem, and they must be unable to hold back soon!"
Xuanyuan Jing heard it clearly in the imperial study room, his eyes twitched, he rubbed his brows, and prepared to go back to find Zhao Wujiang.
She was helpless.
"I never thought that I would have to rely on that boy Zhao Wujiang to stabilize the court."
Emperor Xuanyuan's palace.
Zhao Wujiang and Da Qicai were sitting on a huanghuali wooden chair, eating snacks from the imperial dining room.
There were three eunuchs and two palace maids surrounding him. They all knew that this was the eunuch who was personally appointed by His Majesty. He was unique and was currently flattering him.
"Master Zhao is handsome."
"Master Zhao is so handsome."
"Master Zhao is so handsome."
"..."
Zhao Wujiang choked and muttered: "Change the word?"
The eunuchs scratched their heads. They had never been to school. They didn't know how to praise someone. You can't praise someone who is a dragon among men, right? This would be beheaded.
The two palace maids were smarter. They sat on Zhao Wujiang's lap and teased him.
"Your Majesty is mighty. When I get close to you, I can feel your warmth."
The three eunuchs rolled their eyes, ran in front of and behind Zhao Wujiang, and began to massage him vigorously.
Zhao Wujiang was close to the emperor. In their view, it was a blessing from the emperor. They were both young eunuchs, but their identities were completely different.
They had served in the emperor's palace for many years and had received no extra favors from the emperor. Now they all came to curry favor with Zhao Wujiang, seeking advice or asylum.
Zhao Wujiang's brows stretched out as he ate pastries. Of course he would not be confused by such a trivial matter in front of him.
Instead, they could be used to ask about his third uncle. In order to protect him, his third uncle had concealed their relationship in the palace, and only a few people knew about it.
"By the way, brothers and sisters, do you know about the old man in the Queen's Palace who has excellent medical skills?"
Mr. Zhao calls me brother, he has me in his heart... The eyes of the three eunuchs lit up, their minds became active, and they followed Zhao Wujiang's words:
"Master Zhao, are you talking about Eunuch Zhao Shou, who has the same surname as you?"
"He always helps us, how could we not know about it?"
"Yes, yes, Duke Zhao Shougong has great medical skills. Not only does he treat the Queen, he also treats us from time to time."
"Oh, what a pity.
When low-status slaves like us get sick, there will be no medical doctor to take care of them, so we can only fend for ourselves.
Thanks to Eunuch Zhao Shou’s help over the years, there have been very few casualties among the ladies and eunuchs in the harem.”
"We all miss him, but it's a pity that he passed away a few days ago... He passed away too suddenly... I'm afraid he contracted some serious disease..."
"It's hard to say." A palace maid lying in Zhao Wujiang's arms pursed her lips.
Zhao Wujiang's eyes brightened slightly, he rubbed the palace maid's waist and buttocks, and said with a smile:
"Oh, why can't you tell me?"
Feeling Zhao Wujiang's big hands roaming around, the palace maid said coquettishly:
"Master Zhao, I won't tell you whether you are good or bad..."
Zhao Wujiang let go of his hand: "Then I won't touch it."
"You touch it, you touch it, Ping'er tells you." The pretty palace maid named Ping'er was shy and took Zhao Wujiang's hand and put it on her buttocks:
"I heard what Xiao Lizi said. Xiao Lizi said that on the day he went to Concubine Xiao Shu's palace, he saw the chief steward running towards Eunuch Zhao Shou's residence with a sly look. Then the next day, Eunuch Zhao Shou died suddenly.
My lord, do you think it's a coincidence...
But the general manager, he has too much power, who dares to speak out?
No one is investigating this matter. To the masters, it’s just that a servant has died..."
The chief eunuch... Zhao Wujiang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. His anger was not shown on his face, but he pinched the palace maid Ping'er's nose with a smile:
"You, you, you dare to say anything."
"As long as you protect me, I won't be afraid." Ping'er pouted.
"Da da da..."
The sound of steady footsteps gradually approached, and Xuanyuan Jing returned. Seeing this scene, his eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and he said angrily:
"You are so brave!"
The palace maids and eunuchs panicked for a moment and fell to their knees on the ground. When Zhao Wujiang saw Xuanyuan Jing coming, he also gave her face in front of outsiders and stood up to say hello.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Xuanyuan Jing took a deep breath, his teeth itching with hatred, then he took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "You all go down, Xiao Zhaozi stays."
"It's the Emperor."
Several eunuchs and maids breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up and left. At the same time, they felt in awe of Zhao Wujiang and would not kneel down when they saw the emperor. This was something they did not dare to think about.
After the eunuch and the maid left, Xuanyuan Jing also sat on the chair next to Zhao Wujiang.
"Zhao Wujiang, you are so brave, you actually colluded with party members."
Zhao Wujiang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's none of my business what they came after. If the emperor wants to get me guilty and make me meritorious, just say the business directly and don't beat around the bush."
"You're quite smart, kid."
Xuanyuan Jing said helplessly and solemnly: "Many ministers have learned the news that the queen is favored, and they require other concubines to have their share of the rain and dew. You have to help me with this matter!"
She thought Zhao Wujiang would not refuse.
After all, those concubines are all stunning in the world, and logically speaking, no man should refuse them.
But Xuanyuan Jing still underestimated Zhao Wujiang.
"If you don't help, you want to sell my love and make me bear the debt of conscience!" Zhao Wujiang shook his head seriously.
Xuanyuan Jing clenched his fists and threatened: "If you don't help, you will have no place in the harem!"
"Xuanyuan Jing, have you ever heard of one drop of sperm and ten drops of blood?" Zhao Wujiang slapped the table:
"I have shed blood for you!"
Xuanyuan Jing's handsome eyebrows trembled and his eyes flickered. He looked at the aggressive Zhao Wujiang and knew that he wanted something from him. His words should not be too harsh, so he spoke in a softer tone, like coaxing a child:
"I will continue to promise you glory and wealth...the harem will be determined by the court, and I will not treat you badly."
I really can’t do anything about you, you want me to sleep with your woman, but you can’t blame me...
Zhao Wujiang made a helpless gesture:
"You are so tired from taking care of all kinds of things every day. Aren't you tired if I have to take care of all kinds of things every day? But who calls you the emperor? Forget it, I promise you."
Looking at Zhao Wujiang who reluctantly agreed, Xuanyuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering that the queen pestered her yesterday, it was really difficult to resist. She gave Zhao Wujiang a grateful look, and then patted Zhao Wujiang on the shoulder:
"Thanks a lot."
Zhao Wujiang pressed Xuanyuan Jing's smooth hand and rubbed it:
"It is an honor for me to serve the Emperor, but I also ask the Emperor to understand me. After all, this is a hard job."
Why does it feel like something is wrong... Xuanyuan Jing frowned slightly, and then she reacted and quickly retracted her hand. The remaining warmth of Zhao Wujiang on her hand made her cheeks slightly hot, and she spat in her heart.
Zhao Wujiang was so natural that it was difficult for him to notice.
"Then I'll go back and make preparations first. Then let me know when you want to favor other concubines."
"No need to prepare, it's just tonight."
"???"
Ignoring Zhao Wujiang's widened eyes, Xuanyuan Jing clapped his hands.
