Devil’s Advent

Zhao Cheng became a eunuch.

In his account, he was the one who found Her Royal Highness in a cowshed and rescued Her Royal Highness from the city.

Zhao Cheng didn't know about Her Royal Highness's stay in the cowshed and the days when she disappeared.

I don't know, and I don't know.

Uncle Zheng once asked Fan Zhengwen,

Said that if Her Royal Highness was sent back, which method, excuse, and arrangement would be used.

For example, if the misfortune is diverted to the east, it can be diverted to Qian Guoyin Jiawei, or it can be diverted to Tian Yunyun, who the Fan family wanted to cheat.

After all, no matter what, you have to do things from the beginning to the end, so that the people in Fengchao can't find any mistakes.

But Fan Zhengwen's answer,

very simple,

A total of five words, the first two words are still nonsense:

"Uncle, no need."

Zheng Fan was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.

Yes,

unnecessary.

Because Xiong Liqing is a princess, she is the younger sister of the Prince Regent of Da Chu, and without accident, she will be the only sister of the future Emperor Da Chu who has only one mother;

At the same time, she will also be the wife of the eldest son of the Qu family and the future mother of the Qu family.

when she went back,

As long as her body is not harmed and is still intact,

So,

She will still be her.

She is not a suspect, and she is not someone who can be interrogated. When she stands on the Fengtai again and puts on her Fengxia, she will immediately return to the original high-ranking her.

As long as she said: "I forgot."

No one dared to break the casserole and ask the end, not even the person in charge of Fengchao.

"It was a terrible memory for me and I don't want to go through it or think about it again, just let it all go."

For this reason, even if the regent came to ask her about it in person in the future, it could be used directly as a prevarication.

In Da Chu, no one would dare to force her to ask questions that even the regent could not ask.

matter,

it's actually really easy.

The reason why Uncle Zheng has this kind of worry is because the blind man is not around, and without a counselor who can think from the subtle but also from the overall situation, it is inevitable that sometimes he will be a little horny;

Second, since rebirth, most of the time since rebirth was either in war or on the way to war. The position is rising step by step, military achievements are also constantly accumulating, and the title is also rising. Farther and farther away from the court.

Lacking the baptism of the political whirlpool, lacking the real environment of being a superior, and believing too much in the truth that "power grows out of the barrel of a gun\

,"It is normal that Uncle Zheng lacks the perspective and habits of some superiors to see things.

Fan Zhengwen was right, if the princess wanted to hide things about the Fan family and Zheng Fan, no one would be able to find out from her.

And if the princess is unwilling to hide,

hehe,

Then no matter how finely you arrange the scene and how well you drain the disaster, it doesn't make any sense.

so,

It is really not necessary.

Outside Zhennan Pass, the Marquis of Jingnan from the Yan people is eyeing him fiercely. He has just suffered a defeat on the front line, but the marriage cannot be delayed.

It is precisely because the clearer the external pressure is, the more the regent needs to unite with Qu's early.

Originally, people would come to ask about Zhao Cheng's details, but when Zhao Cheng eunuched himself, got out of bed after a week of recuperation, and changed into a eunuch uniform, no one dared to ask him about his affairs in Xiayong City anymore. .

When I was first eunuched, I couldn't get out of bed, so I had to rely on my sister to change the dressing for me, layer after layer, sticking it thickly, it was cool and itchy.

After I was able to get out of bed, every time I went to the toilet, it would sting, and it was still not clean, and it would stain my pants.

But it didn't take long for him to get used to it, and he also got used to being called "Eunuch Zhao" by others.

He does not regret that he eunuched himself. The root of descendants is very important, but not as important as his own life. This young man who was trafficked and escaped to live on the street and organized a gang of beggars has a keenness and intuition that is beyond ordinary people. .

He knew that when the princess asked him what reward he wanted that day, if he hadn't eunuched himself, then the only thing waiting for him and his sister was a dead end.

It is often said that in the eyes of great people, human life is worthless;

But Zhao Cheng knew that when ordinary people saw beggars dying of freezing and starving on the street, it was like looking at a grass on the side of the road.

No matter what, he survived, he knew that many people around the princess looked at him strangely, and felt that he would do anything to climb up, but he didn't care about their eyes, Zhao Cheng didn't know the word "self-esteem" Son, but even if he knew, he would feel that exchanging his self-esteem for his life was really worth it.

The group of old people around the princess were gone, because after the princess had an accident, they were all arrested and imprisoned. I don't know if they died or not, but it is definitely impossible to come back to serve the princess.

The Yingdu Palace sent another team, including the mothers in the palace, guards, and father-in-law.

Originally, the leading new steward's father-in-law's surname was Sun, and the princess asked Zhao Cheng to recognize him as a godfather. In front of the princess, Eunuch Sun took the tea that Zhao Cheng brought up.

It can be said that Zhao Cheng's journey as an eunuch has already been on the right track, and in half a month, he has completed a journey that others may not be able to complete in ten years.

On weekdays, Eunuch Sun is in charge of the affairs in the royal garden, while Zhao Cheng is in charge of the affairs in the courtyard where the princess lives.

Zhao Cheng had been in the rivers and lakes before, dragged gangs, and was taken offline by many national intelligence agencies. He was not lacking in ability and skill, and soon managed dozens of eunuchs and maids in the small courtyard in an orderly manner.

Then,

one day,

Zhao Cheng saw the young lady from Mi's family coming.

One of the young lady's arms was crippled, and she also limped when she walked. She entered the hospital with red eyes.

At that time, the princess was eating, and Zhao Cheng was waiting on her side.

The princess took the veil from his hand with a calm expression, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, then got up, picked up the plate on the table and threw it at the door.

The plate was shattered,

The princess began to scream very calmly:

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Yes,

very calm.

After calling,

The princess sat down calmly again, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and moistened her throat.

Because of this, the young lady of the Mi family was unable to enter the house and left in a daze.

Two days later, Zhao Cheng heard that the young lady of the Mi family hanged herself at home.

Zhao Cheng knew that when the princess disappeared, she was with Miss Mi's family.

Throwing the plate, screaming, the princess's series of actions are enough to make people think about it. Those Fengchao Fanzi who failed to dig out anything from the princess may smell something unusual because of this incident.

Or, it will be seen as a hint.

However, the Mi family is the home of the Minister of the Household Department of the current dynasty, and the head of the Mi family is also a close friend of the regent. It is not easy to investigate. The death of the eldest lady of the Mi family is a kind of... a compromise.

Zhao Cheng doesn't understand the relationship between court and court, but he knows that the truth of the matter is definitely not the case.

That man, the man who made the princess throw himself into her arms, who is he?

After all,

It was this man who made him lose that job;

But Zhao Cheng didn't dare to ask about this person in front of the princess, and he didn't even dare to hate him in his heart;

A man who can hug the princess at will like a little peasant girl,

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think, let alone provoke.

...

The day before last, Qu Peiluo came.

This is the first time Zhao Cheng has seen the young master of the Qu family. He has beautiful features and can be called a handsome gentleman.

Qu Peiluo brought a lot of gifts for the New Year, and generously distributed them around the Bieyuan. Although they were not married yet, the servants in the Bieyuan who had been serving the princess were already calling for Fukang, the son-in-law.

In the end, Qu Peiluo did not come to see the princess, because according to etiquette, the husband and wife were not allowed to see each other before they got married.

People in Chu valued etiquette and respected the ancients, and believed that disrespecting the ancient laws would bring bad luck to themselves.

It can be seen that Qu Peiluo wanted to see the princess very much, and he also signaled Zhao Cheng to inform him. Zhao Cheng came back and reported to Qu Peiluo, saying that the princess said:

If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening.

Poetry is good poetry.

Meaningful and catchy, let people aftertaste.

Although he had regrets, Qu Peiluo still left with a smile. Although he did not know what happened when the princess disappeared, he had already confirmed that the princess was not injured, and she was also in good health. These two things are enough. ;

And the talent revealed by the princess can be regarded as an unexpected joy of this political marriage.

Qu Peiluo is gone,

However, most of the soldiers and horses he brought stayed. The inside and outside of the imperial courtyard were surrounded by three layers of inner and outer layers, which can be described as heavily guarded.

Zhao Cheng returned to the princess and said that Qu Peiluo had left.

It's just that Zhao Cheng didn't add any details to say anything else, because he saw the princess staring at the picture she had written earlier, which was the two lines of poem that he told Qu Peiluo earlier.

It was written by the princess, but Zhao Cheng felt that it should not have been written by the princess.

...

New Year's Eve;

On the day of Chinese New Year, a piece of very bad news came, that is, the Xue Rang Department of Zhennan Pass mutinied. People probably took this opportunity to break into Zhennan Pass.

On this day, Zhao Cheng discovered that the Qingluan Army outside the imperial courtyard had undergone a large-scale change of defense. The soldiers and horses that looked like uniformly armored were moved to the north in batches. Afterwards, there were groups of private soldiers The team began to replace the previous defense zone of the Qingluan Army.

According to Eunuch Sun, because of the increasing pressure from the Yan people in the northern war, Qu's Qingluan Army had to go north again, and the new replacements were Qu's local auxiliary soldiers and those under Qu's command. Private soldier of the servant family.

At the same time, a group of priests of the Qu family lived in the outskirts of the small courtyard. These priests exuded the aura that strangers should not enter. Zhao Cheng went through the rivers and lakes and knew that these people were the real strong.

In the arena, they are all people who can make a name for themselves.

Therefore, at this time, the defense of the imperial family garden should be looser on the outside and tighter on the inside compared to before.

This is natural, even if there are thieves, it is unlikely to mobilize a large army to attack here. For a small group of thieves, let alone it is difficult to infiltrate. Don't hurt the princess in the slightest.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the princess issued a reward. All the eunuchs and maids in the small courtyard stood at the door of the princess' bedroom early. Received the red envelope.

Afterwards, the princess went back to her dormitory to continue resting, while Zhao Cheng stayed behind to collect bonuses and pay tribute alone.

More than 10% of the red envelopes that were handed out in front of the princess had to be withdrawn and handed over to him.

The big guy is willing to pay, this is a customary rule in the palace, the master's reward is given to you, but you don't want to eat alone.

After receiving everyone's filial piety, Zhao Cheng went to the outer courtyard non-stop to find Eunuch Sun, and Eunuch Sun had just greeted those big inner guards before he came back.

Zhao Cheng put a bag of silver money in front of Eunuch Sun;

"Godfather, this is yours."

Immediately, Zhao Cheng took out another ingot of silver and put it aside alone, pushed it over, and said, "This is my share, my son."

Eunuch Sun narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile, and said:

"Is it the right number?"

Zhao Cheng immediately knelt down, pointed to the sky and said:

"So that Godfather can know that this is just received, and my son didn't dare to hide it in the slightest."

Although he has been a eunuch for a short time, Zhao Cheng is a transparent person. He knows that what he has to do now is to do things in a down-to-earth manner and follow the rules.

Eunuch Sun smiled and said, "It's not that Zajia said less, but more."

As he said that, Eunuch Sun stretched out his hand and pushed the bag of silver out, and then put the ingot of silver that Zhao Cheng took out by himself earlier in front of him.

"Godfather, what does this mean?"

"What do you mean? That's what it means. Life is not easy for the eunuchs and maids in the palace. They have to save some money for themselves. When they get old and weak, they can go out to the people and buy a few acres of Susukida for themselves.

So, do you know why they are so happy and quick when they distribute the money on the top? "

"I hope my godfather will teach me."

"Hey, no matter how careful you are when doing things with a nobleman, you will inevitably make a mistake. Take a step back and say, even if you really don't make mistakes all the time, if one day you happen to meet a nobleman in a bad mood, you have to look for him. What is wrong with you?

This money is said to be filial piety, but in fact it is money for life. It is not for nothing if you give it away. After receiving the filial piety from others, when someone makes a mistake in the future, you have to help him take care of it, and you have to help him say in front of the nobles. good words.

A heavy punishment becomes a light punishment, and death becomes a heavy punishment. It is an unforgivable crime, and you have to help his family.

In this world, there is no free money;

I heard that you saved the princess, and the princess also entrusted you with the affairs of the inner courtyard, so you can speak up in front of the princess, and you can have the face to sell favors.

The money from the people in the inner courtyard will naturally be collected by you, and the favors in the future will naturally have to be sold by you;

I am nothing, even in the palace before, I have never served the princess, so I am not qualified to accept this money. "

Eunuch Sun held up the ingot of silver that Zhao Cheng gave out alone, and said:

"As for this, if you call me a godfather, you should treat me as a tribute to me as a son. Seniority, you followed me, at least so that you will not suffer in the future in terms of seniority.

The miscellaneous family accepts your filial piety, according to the rules, when you are promoted to a vacancies in the future, the miscellaneous family will buy you an outfit, and when you find the right food, although court ladies don't like the dowry gifts from the people outside, you still have to buy some jewelry , Miscellaneous also get half.

This money can be collected clearly and steadily;

If it should be mine, I want it; if it shouldn't be mine, I don't want it.

Little thief, remember, this is what you have to do when you are working with your master in the future and you have a lot of people under your hands;

When you let the people below honor you, you do so willingly, rather than gnashing your teeth behind your back.

Silver is silver, favors are favors;

But since ancient times,

Silver leaves the heart and trembles when it leaves human affection,

Human affection cannot stand without money. "

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng kowtowed three times in a row again, making a loud bang.

Sincerely said:

"Thank you godfather for your teaching, my son has been taught!"

Eunuch Sun stretched out his hand to help Zhao Cheng up, and said earnestly:

"Your godfather, I came here from the palace, and I was sent here, but you still have a chance to go to the palace in the future, do things well, and be a good person;

We are all rootless people,

But the more we have to fight for this breath, we have to live out our own personality. "

"Yes, godfather."

"Yinzi, put it here first. You are running around with your arms in your arms. It doesn't look like it. I'll send it back to you later in the evening. By the way, the Fan Family Jade Warehouse sent a pair of jadeite cabbages. Go over there." Get two people to bring it up and send it to the princess, so that Fei Cui can rest assured."

"Yes, the son knows, the son will go now."

Zhao Cheng got up, and Sun Gong announced his resignation and went out.

After leaving the inner courtyard and then the outer courtyard, one can be considered to have entered the middle area of ​​the royal family garden. The outer circle is surrounded by soldiers and horses from various walks of life, and the middle circle is decorated by craftsmen from various commercial firms, mainly the Fan family. Outfit, hoping that the big wedding on the Lantern Festival will be prosperous, exquisite and eye-catching.

There is no way, after the wedding of the sixth prince of the country of Yan, the demand and standards of royal weddings in other countries have been virtually increased.

"Where is the emerald cabbage?"

Zhao Cheng asked a Fan family steward.

"If you go back to your father-in-law, it will be in that carriage."

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, and walked over by himself, only to see that there were seven or eight guards from the Fan family guarding the carriage, which was enough to show how valuable this pair of jadeite cabbages was!

"Let the miscellaneous take a look first."

Before becoming a father-in-law, Zhao Chengcheng was a greedy master, but this kind of truly rare object, let alone having it, is hard to even look at it.

Today, firstly, it was what Eunuch Sun said to him, which made him very excited;

Secondly, he is still a young man after all, with a youthful heart.

Therefore,

Zhao Cheng has no one to help him,

He directly climbed into the carriage, opened the curtain, and the light from the outside came in, and the two jadeite cabbages inside immediately reflected a fascinating luster.

But Zhao Cheng was not intoxicated,

And not only not drunk,

It was even so frightening that the work under his crotch was almost about to stand up again!

"I………"

Zhao Cheng pointed to the man sitting between the two emerald cabbages, his mouth was wide open, and he looked shocked.

And the man just held out an index finger,

put it on your lips,

"Hush."
