Xiao Chunzi's heart trembled. He had followed Huang Jin for many years. Just like Huang Jin knew Jiajing, he also knew Huang Jin and knew that he had made a decision.
Huang Jin is a good person in many aspects, but if he can be favored by Jiajing's side for a lifetime and sit firmly at the top of the eunuch, he will definitely not be a virgin.
It's just that Xiao Chunzi is not sure whether Huang Jin's words should be reused or eliminated. When listening to the words of these big figures, you can't just listen to the surface, not even the tone. The true meaning of what they say is always at the edge of language and tone.
The palace maid was also surprised and confused, and she also didn't know the true meaning of Huang Jin's words. She originally thought that she could go with the flow and do it without anyone noticing. She could not only complete Huang Jin's mission, but also get closer to Tang Concubine.
This Tang concubine was young, favored by Jiajing, and her mother's family was powerful and powerful. She was the one she wanted to please and seek refuge with, so she was willing to take risks.
When the matter was revealed, she knew that begging for mercy was useless. She could only keep her position by taking another risk and proving to Huang Jin that she was useful and that getting rid of her would offend many people.
Otherwise, even if Huang Jin doesn't kill her, she will be completely thrown into the bottom rung of the palace and will never be able to stand up. For an ambitious person like her, life would be worse than death.
Huang Jin's words were both praising her and wanting to reuse her; they could also be mocking her and wanting to get rid of her.
So Xiaochunzi and the palace maid were waiting for Huang Jin's final order.
"Xiao Chunzi, you asked Ru Shi to go to these palaces and inform the nobles that the ceremonial supervisor, the female official Zhou Deng, did not keep strict night patrols, and planned to depose her to the Huanyi Bureau. She will serve all the nobles. Which noble is willing? I'll reward her with food and drink, but I'll order her to be sent to my palace. I'll wait here for her orders." Only then did Xiao Chunzi understand that Huang Jin was going to have a bet with the palace maid.
You said that you have good relations with the various palaces and have them as a back-up, but I don't believe it. If someone is willing to protect you, it means what you say is true.
The more people who protect you, the less I will touch you, and I will look upon you highly and use you in the future. If no one is willing to protect you, it means you are lying or delusional.
What matters to them when they want to be friends with you is not that you can do things, but that you are my Huang Jin's person! If that's the case, I, Huang Jin, have plenty of people to use, so why do I have to use this self-made thing like yours?
Xiao Chunzi sent the message, and the palace maid also understood Huang Jin's intention. She was both nervous and looking forward to it. She rose from a low-level palace maid to a lamp-bearing official, all thanks to Huang Jin's support.
However, her progress has obviously slowed down in the past two years, which also made her dissatisfied, and she secretly began to make plans for herself.
If Huang Jin ignores his own merits and forgets himself, what's wrong with working hard for himself?
This time is a big gamble for her. As long as there is a noble person willing to speak for her, her status will be different from now on, and Huang Jin will definitely pour resources into herself.
But if no noble person is willing to speak... No, no, it's impossible. I work so hard and those noble people are so close to me. The key is that I still know so many of their secrets... It will never happen!
After a long time, Xiao Chunzi came back. His face turned pale. He glanced at the palace maid who looked up secretly and shook his head slightly.
"Father, my servant has passed the message once, and all the nobles in the palace are silent." The palace maid suddenly collapsed on the ground, shaking her head desperately and crying in despair.
"No, it won't happen, father-in-law, I beg you to wait, wait!" Huang Jin gave her a cold look and waved to Xiao Chunzi.
"If you go again, there are too many people. I'm afraid you can't remember what the reply was. Please send a maid to say it." Xiaochunzi went again. The maid collapsed on the ground and suddenly seemed to wake up. As if confused, he crawled over and hugged Huang Jin's calf.
"Father, father-in-law, I know I was wrong. Father-in-law, please spare me. I will never dare to do it again! From now on, I will do whatever your father-in-law says, father-in-law..." Xiaochunzi hasn't come back yet, and various palaces have sent people. The maids of honor arrived one after another.
Because he was conveying a message to the nobles, Huang Jin stood up politely and listened. The maids saluted one after another, said a few words and left.
"Eunuch Huang, my noble family said that the arrangement of positions is the responsibility of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and she dare not interrupt."
"Eunuch Huang, my noble family said that the female official of Zhou is working on weekdays and does not have much contact with the palaces. She doesn't know much about it, so she can just ask my father-in-law to make a decision."
"Eunuch Huang, my noble family said that there are rules and regulations for the allocation of ladies in the palace. How can I ask for it myself? My father-in-law is joking."
"Eunuch Huang..." The palace maid was still holding Huang Jin's legs at first, but later she became more frightened and fainted.
At this time, Xiao Chunzi also came back. He looked sadly at the palace maid who had fainted on the ground, and then secretly glanced at Huang Jin.
At this time, the last palace maid finished speaking. Seeing that everyone else had left, she took a step forward, approached Huang Jin, and lowered her voice.
"Eunuch Huang, my noble family said that Lady Zhou likes to know the secrets of various palaces, which is against the rules. Since she is Eunuch Huang, she hasn't said anything. Some things are not allowed to be told outside, so please pay attention to Eunuch Huang." Huang Jin was not moved. Nodding seductively, the palace maid hurriedly left.
Huang Jin sighed and reached out to pat Xiao Chunzi on the shoulder. Xiao Chunzi immediately bent down and allowed Huang Jin to pat her comfortably.
"Xiao Chunzi, either we are cruel, or we want to keep her, and I'm afraid those noble people don't want to keep her either. People can't be too smart. Many times you think you are digging in the soil to gain a foothold, climbing higher and higher. But I never thought that there will be pits when digging in the soil. The higher the cushion, the deeper the pit. Once you fall in, the soil will bury you alive." Xiao Chunzi waved his hand, and the two eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time at the door walked in. Xiao Chunzi followed Huang Jin out of the house, not wanting to see what happened next.
"Father, why did Xiao Feng draw up that list and exclude the nobles outside the list from being tested? These nobles have different statuses, including high-ranking concubines and low-status talents, but he doesn't know these people at all. "Xiao Chunzi changed his name before asking this question, which is also a reflection of the child's intelligence. The godson can ask this question, but the young eunuch must not ask it.
Although Huang Jin guessed the pattern of Xiao Feng's list, he was unwilling to say more to Xiao Chunzi. Although he trusts Xiao Chunzi, the less people know about this, the better.
"My child, you don't need to ask about this matter. I will tell you Zong'er that Xiao Feng is a man of virtue, who uses thunderbolt methods and has the heart of a Bodhisattva. You will get closer to him in the future. By helping him this time, your adoptive father is also doing something for you. We men accumulate virtue and do good deeds. You still have to believe in this thing of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, otherwise, people will have no bottom line. If my prediction is correct, then Xiao Feng should go to our Huoxuan Zhenren." Yan Shifan once said wildly, There are only three geniuses in the world, himself, Lu Bing, and Yang Bo.
But Huang Jin is definitely one of the smart people who was missed by Yan Shifan. Of course, Yan Shifan was unlikely to compare an eunuch to himself, just as he did not dare to include Jiajing publicly.
Because at this time, Xiao Feng asked Yan Niang to take the car back to Chunyan Tower, while he walked quietly to the car, and indeed went to Xiyuan, walked into the alchemy room to find Tao Zhongwen.
Tao Zhongwen was making elixirs for Jiajing in a smoky atmosphere, while two female Taoists were also working hard to pull the bellows and fan to catch fire.
At first glance, it does look very similar to the scene where Taishang Laojun refines the monkey. Tao Zhongwen saw Xiao Feng at the first sight and hurriedly came to greet him.
"Brother, why are you free to come to my alchemy room today?" Xiao Feng looked dissatisfied and walked to the alchemy stove, warming himself by the fire while complaining.
"I blame you for making me suffer!" Tao Zhongwen was stunned and quickly moved a chair for Xiao Feng. He also pulled one over and sat down together.
"Brother, where do you start talking about this? I have never neglected my brother's affairs!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart. No matter what Tao Zhongwen is in other aspects, he is not arrogant in serving favors and treats others with humility. In terms of this, there is really nothing to say.
Although he has the identity of a real person and is known as Jiajing's junior brother, Tao Zhongwen has been a real person for decades, and Jiajing has always addressed him as a respectful person.
"Master Potter" is no less favored than himself. Logically speaking, even if Tao Zhongwen didn't want to offend Xiao Feng, he would never be so polite.
But he was so polite, and Xiao Feng was not even as polite to him as he was to ordinary friends. Tao Zhongwen also secretly praised in his heart that Xiao Feng was so mature at such a young age.
He never thought that Xiao Feng was arrogant and did not respect his seniors like the two female Taoists.
The more rude and casual Xiao Feng was, the happier Tao Zhongwen was. He knew that this was Xiao Feng's attitude to him: I don't care about your position.
Since I call you brother, you have to act like a brother. Therefore, the more Xiao Feng behaves like an ignorant little brother, the happier Tao Zhongwen will be. In the eyes of two ignorant female Taoists, this is simply a masochistic tendency.
Ninety-nine percent of the hatred and conflicts in the world come from interests, not attitudes. As long as there is no conflict of interest, at least among high-class people, it will never happen
The strange phenomenon of "What are you looking at?"
"Last time, I asked you for two Qingxin Pills. Looking at the way you were picking at them, I gave you one. I had to say it was enough, but what happened? I almost killed you." Tao Zhongwen was also surprised. , stood up and asked guiltily.
"Why, the medicine is too strong and the Qingxin Pill doesn't work? It shouldn't be. That Qingxin Pill is my unique formula. It is the nemesis of all kinds of addictive drugs. It can also deal with Jinmantuo!" Xiao Feng said without blushing. : "I don't know if it will work or not, let my dog Wangcai eat it." Tao Zhongwen almost dodged his old waist, pointed at Xiao Feng and laughed and cursed.
"You let a dog eat such an expensive elixir, and you still have the nerve to turn around and blame me?"
"If you were more generous and gave me one more pill, wouldn't this problem be solved?" Tao Zhongwen couldn't defeat Xiao Feng, so he had to take out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, gritted his teeth and poured out two pills.
"This is a newly made medicine. This medicine is really expensive. It is not much cheaper than Jinmantuo. You can use it sparingly. If it is not to deal with magic medicine like Jinmantuo, but to deal with ordinary Jianghu drugs, it is You don’t need a whole pill, half a pill is enough. When I was walking around the world, a pure heart pill turned into a ladle of water and saved thirty women who were intoxicated by the flower picker’s drug!" Xiao Feng He grabbed the porcelain bottle and shook it, thinking there were about seven or eight pills in it.
"Okay, I got it, save those two. It's hard to bring a bottle if you don't have one. Just give me this bottle." Tao Zhongwen was dumbfounded. The two female Taoists who fanned the flames were also stunned by Xiao Feng's shamelessness. It took a long time before the one on the left puffed out his mouth and let out a sigh.
"How shameless!"
