Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 89 Empty cups sitting facing each other in the moonlight (1)
The sun was high in the sky, and the cicadas on the tree outside the door were very noisy, but they still couldn't cover up the high-pitched and proud voice of Father Shuangxi. Listening to him introduce the emperor's gifts like a treasure, Yu Fengjin secretly brewed emotions.
He was already in place, and he quickly put on a flattered expression, and raised his hands to the sky to express his gratitude - thanking the Emperor for his great kindness!
Father-in-law Shuangxi finally showed a satisfied look on his face, and then he returned to the guest seat and slowly sat down. The two young eunuchs beside him quickly poured tea for the master and the guests.
This time, Yu Fengjin paid special attention to the little eunuch beside her: in addition to her white hands and the fragrance of gardenia spraying from the collar and cuffs, her exquisite little upturned nose and long eyelashes like butterfly wings, there was nothing special about her.
Not like a real eunuch.
Although the other party kept his head lowered, Yu Fengjin already had the answer in his heart. Since he didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit and the other party seemed unwilling to reveal his identity, he cooperated and remained calm.
Just when he took the tea cup, he deliberately grabbed the other person's hand gently. The little eunuch immediately retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and grabbed the corner of his clothes uneasily. Yu Fengjin didn't need to look up to see, but she could feel the other person's embarrassment.
It seemed as if he saw that pretty face full of blush. He felt interesting in his heart, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised slightly while drinking tea.
Eunuch Shuangxi looked around and asked, consciously or unconsciously: "I've always heard that Yan Rong and His Highness are inseparable, why can't you see him here today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several irritable meows suddenly sounded at the door.
Yu Fengjin smiled contemptuously and took the opportunity to joke: "When spring comes, even cats can't bear the loneliness. What's more, our famous 'Beijing Prodigal Son'! How can this little Prince Yi's Palace control him?"
Ah, maybe you are enjoying it in some gentle country!"
Eunuch Shuangxi rolled his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "Hey, I wonder if there is something I should say?"
Yu Fengjin raised her hand to him politely, "My father-in-law, please tell me, there is nothing I can't say here."
Eunuch Shuangxi put down his tea cup and sighed softly: "This Yanrong is from a family of military commanders and is also His Highness's personal bodyguard. He is responsible for His Highness's safety. How can I abandon His Highness to go and have a good time?"
"Oh, so what about the guard. Since his thoughts are no longer with me, there is no use keeping his people. Just let him go." Yu Fengjin smiled coldly, and the color on his face changed slightly.
"Hey, they say that Your Highness and Yan Rong are brothers. What's wrong with you?" Eunuch Shuangxi sensed something unusual and immediately pursued the victory.
Yu Fengjin let out a long sigh, played with the tea cup in his hand, and was silent for a long time before speaking helplessly: "My father-in-law is a discerning person and a smart man! In this case, I will not hide it from you. I am a lazy clan member, and usually
Being away from the government, I am used to being away from the government. Yan Rong felt relaxed and comfortable at first following this king, but as time went by, he saw that many people who were not as good as him in the past had some appearance, but he, who came from a family of military generals with roots in Hongmiao, only
Being a bodyguard, it is inevitable that he will feel a little unbalanced. In addition, some people in the court regard him less and less, and he feels that he has disgraced his family, so he gives up on himself and indulges himself even more. "
"Then why don't Your Highness find a position in the court for Yan Rong?" Eunuch Shuangxi smiled and started to dig a hole for him.
"The appointment of officials in the imperial court is a matter for the Ministry of Personnel. Even if you are serving in the Royal Guards Department, it is the emperor who has the final say. I don't have the ability!" Yu Fengjin put down the teacup with a somewhat unhappy tone.
"Hey, what you said is obvious! You are the prince. As long as you say a word, let alone the official minister, even the emperor will give you face!" Eunuch Shuangxi dug a bigger hole.
"My father-in-law, these words have deceived me!" Yu Fengjin straightened her face and said righteously: "Today, I opened the back door for Yan Rong. Tomorrow, other people in the palace will come to beg me.
If someone asks me again, will this Prince Yi's Mansion become the official office? What's more, the emperor is most taboo about courtiers forming cliques for personal gain, and your words have offended both the official department and the emperor!"
While he was speaking, he slapped the table and knocked over the tea cup. The tea flowed down the table. Just as it was about to fall on him, the little eunuch beside him quickly took out a handkerchief and put it on the table to drink up the tea.
"Your Highness, don't be angry, your health is important." The little eunuch knelt down and approached him with a very soft voice.
whispered something in his ear.
Yu Fengjin's heart trembled slightly, and she replied in the same soft voice: "Thank you."
The little eunuch cleaned up the mess, changed a cup for him, and filled a new cup of tea. This time, Yu Fengjin could clearly feel that the other party was not so nervous, and there seemed to be a touch of joy overflowing.
Seeing that digging the hole failed, Eunuch Shuangxi immediately opened his mouth and apologized again and again: "Hey, my lord, please calm down! This old slave is thinking about you and Yan Rong. I said the wrong thing in a hurry. Don't take it to heart. If you are angry
If your body is broken, this old slave will definitely be blamed for your death!"
Yu Fengjin exhaled helplessly, poured a cup of tea for Eunuch Shuangxi, and softened her tone a little: Yu Fengjin exhaled helplessly, poured a cup of tea for Eunuch Shuangxi, and softened her tone:
"It's not that I don't understand Eunuch Shuangxi's good intentions. But I also have difficulties! If Yan Rong is really a talent, the emperor's wisdom will not fail to see it! He spends his days drunkenly dreaming, wandering the flower streets, looking like a playboy.
He doesn’t look like someone who can accomplish anything! Even if I ask the emperor to give him a job, if he misses a big deal because of greed, I will be the one to blame for his death!"
Eunuch Shuangxi held the tea cup with both hands and quickly accompanied him carefully: "Your Highness is so worried! But this old slave is ignorant!"
Afterwards, the two of them chatted for a while, and then Eunuch Shuangxi stood up, bowed to him, and said with a smile: "I'll take my leave now. Your Majesty can't live without me."
Where is the slave!"
Yu Fengjin quickly stood up, cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Then I won't keep you. Let's walk slowly on the highway."
After saying that, he sent him to the door. Before the gatekeeper could open the door for the two of them, the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside, and a white figure rushed in with a strong wind, knocking Father Shuangxi so hard that he almost fainted.
Fell to the ground.
"Father, are you okay?" Fortunately, the guard Tie Lin stood close and supported him.
Eunuch Shuangxi was so frightened that he immediately changed his face and cursed: "Who didn't have eyes and hit me to death?"
Everyone looked quickly and realized that the person who had just walked in the door was actually Yan Rong! However, at this time, he was swaying, stumbling, smelling of alcohol and looking angry.
Yu Fengjin's face suddenly darkened, and she scolded in a cold voice: "Yan Rong, you're drinking like this again! You bumped into Eunuch Shuangxi, why don't you admit your mistake quickly?"
Yan Rong let out a contemptuous snort from his nose and said drunkenly: "Eunuch Shuangxi, I am a descendant of General Yan, how can I apologize to an eunuch!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Shuangxi's expression suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Yu Fengjin quickly handed over her hand to apologize: "Forgive me, father-in-law, Yan Rong was drunk and guilty, and there was no malicious intention!"
Eunuch Shuangxi dusted his clothes and said in a sinister tone: "It doesn't matter, it's normal for the descendants of the dignified General Yan to look down on the old slave. The old slave won't argue with a drunkard."
Yu Fengjin held up his hands again and said with a look of shame: "I am deeply grateful to my father-in-law for being so magnanimous. Just now you persuaded me to do some errand for him. Now you have seen that he looks like this.
If you are put as a servant in the palace, how much trouble will you cause!"
Yu Fengjin's face was covered with frost, and she warned in a deep voice: "Yan Rong, you've drunk too much. Tie Lin, send him back to rest quickly!"
Tie Lin came over to persuade Yan Rong, but Yan Rong pushed him away.
"Yu Fengjin! You took Fangyi away from me, but then you abandoned her! The world says that you are pure in heart and a gentleman like an orchid! Bah! I think you are a duplicitous villain who is just trying to gain fame and reputation.
!" Yan Rong staggered forward, grabbed Yu Fengjin's collar, and sprayed all his anger and the smell of alcohol into his face.
Yu Fengjin frowned, held back a breath and pushed him away. Yan Rong staggered and struggled a few times before barely regaining his footing. He wanted to pounce again but was stopped by Tie Lin and others grabbing his arms.
"Tie Lin! Drag Yan Rong out and give him a hundred sap blows! Let him wake up!" Yu Fengjin straightened her collar, gave orders coldly, and stared at the crazy Yan Rong with a terrifying expression.
Tie Lin was startled and looked at each other with several guards, but did not move.
"Yu Fengjin, you are so cruel! In front of outsiders, you keep saying that you treat me as your brother, but now you dare to hit me! I will expose your cover to everyone! You despicable villain!" Yan Rong suddenly became angry,
He struggled with brute strength to pounce on Yu Fengjin, and the words he rushed out became increasingly ugly.
"Tie Lin, why don't you take action! Do you want to be punished together?" Yu Fengjin's face was a little stiff, but she still stood upright and her back was straight.
Tie Lin did not dare to delay any longer, and he and several guards immediately dragged Yan Rong out of the door.
