For several days, Yingping did not leave the palace again. It happened that these days happened to be the 22nd of every month, and Ye Changshan also went back to the mountains to soak in the ice cellar.
Yingping was leaning boredly on the couch carved with dragons and phoenixes, and not far in front of him was a pile of scattered date stones.
There was a 'ding--' sound, and another date stone hit the edge of the copper spittoon, and then bounced onto the originally clean and tidy ground.
Ying Ping frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with his 'pot throwing' technique. He had been repeating this action for more than half an hour, but not a single date core could hit the target. He picked up a date from the plate again and threw it into his mouth, and then he couldn't wait to swallow the date meat whole, leaving only a bare date core in his mouth. This time he glanced at the opening of the spittoon and saw it in his mouth. After accumulating strength for a while, he spit out the date core in his mouth——
'puff--'
'Ding dong——'
With a crisp sound, the date core entered the mouth of the bowl without any bias.
"Oops - the Holy Lord Zhenno Houyi is reborn! Such a small hole can actually hit! I'm afraid Yang Youji's reincarnation will only be like this -"
Chen Jinjue clapped his hands cheerfully and flattered him. He had been holding back these words since Yingping started vomiting date seeds. Unfortunately, the master's eyesight was so bad that he had vomited date seeds all over the floor. He was the first to win, but It's never too late to say a good thing, and it's never too late to do a good thing. He said this immediately after Yingping was hit.
Yingping smiled smugly, as if he was very satisfied with his success.
Never do something beautiful twice. This is the philosophy of life that Yingping believes in. He handed over the plate with dates in his arms, and Chen Jinjue quickly reached out to take it.
"Huh? Hiss——"
A slight moan came from Yingping's mouth. He stayed in this position for more than half an hour. It was no wonder that his neck and cervical vertebrae were so sore.
Chen Jinjue threw the plate to the maid behind him, then stepped forward to support Yingping. Seeing that Yingping seemed to be feeling unwell, he cautiously said, "Your Majesty, would you like me to help you with this?"
"You? Can you still handle it?" Yingping was very interested in Chen Jinjue's proposal. After spending so long with the little eunuch left by the late emperor, this was the first time he proposed to give himself a massage.
"Hey, when the late emperor was still alive, his servants would often give him gifts... Hey... the late emperor would often praise his servants for their skills." When it came to Emperor Tang, Chen Jinjue was careful and careful.
"Oh? Are you trying to figure it out for the late emperor? You really have to do it just right -" Ying Ping raised his eyebrows.
"That's it! That's it!" Seeing that Yingping didn't shy away, Chen Jinjue smiled even more flatteringly.
"Okay, come on."
"Hey! Okay!"
With Yingping's permission, Chen Jinjue ran up behind Yingping.
After a while, Yingping let out a comfortable hum. It seemed that both father and son agreed with Chen Jinjue's method.
Chen Jinjue was carefully squeezing and beating Yingping's shoulders while thinking about it in his mind.
Now Yingping has turned a blind eye to everything. The major affairs in the court are naturally controlled by the Wang family brothers and sisters, and many things in the palace are handled by Chen Jinjue. Therefore, the eating, drinking and sleeping of the eunuchs and maids in the palace are all under his control. In his hands, his status naturally increased. However, this was only possible with the tacit approval of the Queen Mother, because all the servants in the palace knew that although Eunuch Chen served the Emperor, his real master was indeed the Queen Mother. Chen Jinjue saw this very clearly. He knew that this was the 'reward' given to him by the Wang brothers and sisters, and he was not polite. He deserved nothing less, because he knew very well in his heart that the more greedy he behaved. , the less seriously the Wang brothers and sisters take themselves, the safer they will be.
But actually? In Chen Jinjue's heart, he has always felt that some things are far more real than money, such as favors, such as...
Such as the human heart!
Chen Jinjue is also a person who has read several books. Although his ambition is not to be a powerful eunuch, he has deeply realized that eunuchs and palace maids are also a "small court" after being in the palace for a long time, and the people here are also divided. Three or sixty-nine times, although he is now highly 'respected', this is all because Lord Shangshu and the Queen Mother are standing behind him. If one day the brother and sister are not allowed to have him, then where will he go?
Chen Jinjue has been thinking about this issue, so he pays great attention to this when managing the inner palace.
Hard work pays off. After these years of hard work, Chen Jinjue has cultivated several "confidants". These maids and eunuchs are scattered in different places in Tai Chi Palace, so that no disturbance here can escape his eyes and ears.
These days, Chen Jinjue has been thinking about something very important to him, because just a few days ago when he was giving instructions to a new group of eunuchs, he discovered an unusual person among these eunuchs—— A person who knows how to cultivate. This is so strange. Although there were some eunuchs in the previous dynasty who practiced secretly and eventually became masters of spiritual practice, this was the first time that they took the initiative to enter the palace despite their cultivation. After Chen Jinjue learned about this person's specific situation, he kept a close eye on him. He was naturally very concerned about this rare 'talent'. After showing some favors, he left this eunuch who knew how to cultivate. Around yourself.
Suddenly a young eunuch came in outside the door. After he walked in, he patted Manager Chen carefully on the shoulder.
Chen Jinjue was lost in thought when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help but frown. He looked at the little eunuch displeased and signaled him to speak quickly if he had anything to do.
Seeing that Chen Jinjue was a little unhappy, the little eunuch hurriedly whispered a few words, and then pointed outside the palace.
After listening to the little eunuch's report, Chen Jinjue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked out the door unconsciously.
"Huh? Why did you stop?" Yingping asked strangely when he felt the movement of his shoulders slow down.
Hearing Yingping's question, Chen Jinjue quickly looked away. He smiled and said, "Master, Mr. Xiaoye is waiting at the door."
"Changshan? He's back? Call him in quickly -" Yingping straightened up when he heard that Ye Changshan had returned from the mountain.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and invite Mr. Xiaoye in -" Chen Jinjue shouted to the young eunuch.
After receiving the order, the little eunuch trotted out the door.
"Xiao Jinzi, please go down first."
"Master, you are dissatisfied with the slave's tactics..." Seeing Yingping driving him away, Chen Jinjue looked panicked.
"I have something to say to Mr. Ye."
"Can--"
"Um?"
Seeing Yingping's face darken, Chen Jinjue shut his mouth obediently. At this time, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. He was jealous. No matter how he served Yingping, he would stand aside as soon as Master Xiaoye appeared. This This is also the reason why he hates Ye Changshan.
"Then the servant will retreat..."
Yingping didn't respond, but just twisted his neck to relax.
Chen Jinjue retreated from the room in black, and bumped into Ye Changshan as soon as he reached the door.
When Ye Changshan saw Chen Jinjue, he greeted him politely: "Eunuch Chen——"
Chen Jinjue disliked Ye Changshan in his heart, so he naturally had no way to treat him well at this time. He rolled his eyes, raised his head, snorted, and walked out proudly, leaving a confused Ye Changshan standing there.
Ye Changshan naturally would not be serious with an eunuch, nor did he understand Chen Jinjue's "arrogance", so he turned around and walked into the room.
Seeing Ye Changshan come in, Yingping jumped down from the couch without forgetting to kick away the date stones on the ground.
"You're here, long gown——"
"How did it happen like this?" Looking at the mess on the ground, Ye Changshan felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry about it, just let them clean it later." Yingping grabbed Ye Changshan's wrist, pulled him to sit on the couch. After the two sat down, Yingping said mysteriously: "A few days ago, I asked Da Pei and Xiao Pei to check Lan Qiufang. What do you think I found?"
Speaking of the Pei brothers, Ye Changshan recalled that he had indeed not seen them in the past few days, and asked in confusion: "What did you find?"
Yingping glanced around, and then said in a low and mysterious voice: "The so-called 'big boss' in Lan Qiufang is none other than... the wife and nephew of that old fox Wang Yanqing, his name is Lu... something. ..Oh yes! My name is Lu Daquan.”
Ye Changshan frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what this meant, if Lan Qiufang was related to the Wang family, it meant that every move made by Yingping and him in the past few days was probably seen by the Wang family.
"Then what do you mean..." Ye Changshan said warily.
Yingping squinted at Ye Changshan. He did not answer directly, but waited for Ye Changshan to finish speaking.
"You mean you won't go to Lan Qiufang anymore?"
This time it was Yingping's turn to be stunned. After he came to his senses, he looked at Ye Changshan like a fool and mocked: "Don't go? Why not?"
"That...that's the Wang family's territory!"
"Tch!" Yingping looked at Ye Changshan with disdain and said, "What happened to the Wang family's territory? Is this emperor still afraid that he will kill me?"
"Then what do you mean?" Ye Changshan asked puzzledly.
"What I mean is, not only will we not hide away from Lan Qiufang, but we will go there with confidence and boldness! Previously, I was worried that I had beaten the man named Su a little too hard, but now it seems that I am not broken. He had one arm and one leg and so on, but he was too gentle.”
Still light? The sexual happiness of Mr. Su's lower body may be gone, so you still want him to be missing arms and legs? Ye Changshan thought to himself.
"But it doesn't matter. Since the trouble is happening in his building, we're not afraid that he won't know about it." Yingping said confidently.
"Let him know? What are you doing?"
Yingping was too lazy to explain so much to Ye Changshan, and said: "I want...Oh! I can't explain it to you anyway. In short, when we go to that boat from now on, we have to keep a high profile. Some, the more high-profile the better, the bigger the pomp the better!”
Ye Changshan's mind was a little confused. He still didn't understand why Yingping did this.
Yingping didn't care whether Ye Changshan understood it or not, and continued: "Changshan, go and prepare some money for me."
"Yinzi? What are you doing here?" Ye Changshan was like a curious baby, facing the oncoming arrangements one after another, his mind was full of doubts.
"Uh... don't worry about it. Anyway, you prepare it first. I will explain it to you when I have time."
"Oh..." Ye Changshan nodded in agreement. Although he didn't understand the purpose of doing this, he still chose to accept it and said, "How much preparation do you need?"
"You prepare more, um... tens of thousands of taels are always needed, prepare a few more, I will make my own arrangements when the time comes."
Ye Changshan silently wrote it down, and looked at Yingping who looked complacent and shook his head. God knows what this unreliable guy is going to do.
