Prince Consort, you have been away from the court for a long time, why are you back? "
Fu Hai, who was playing mahjong in the palace, was startled when he heard Young Master Liu's voice. When he saw Young Master Liu standing behind him, he had to stand up and salute cheerfully.
Compared with the newly appointed chief manager Zeng Hai, Young Master Liu and Eunuch Fu Hai are much more familiar with each other. The two of them can be said to have known each other for a long time, and they don't need to be so deliberate when talking.
This well-respected young steward around the late emperor is still living a carefree and comfortable life. Young Master Liu is envious but does not yearn for it.
After all, becoming a eunuch requires enduring pain that is unbearable for ordinary people.
Young Master Liu couldn't bear to part with his little brother, and he didn't even dare to operate on him.
"Is Your Majesty in the Imperial Study?"
Eunuch Fu shook his head hesitantly: "Prince-in-law, we don't know very well. Although we are living a pretty good life as a child now, we don't have much chance to get close to the dragon."
"The eunuchs who serve Your Majesty like this are all the confidants chosen by that brat Zeng Hai. However, if the Prince Consort needs to see Your Majesty for something urgent, we can still inform you."
Although Fuhai said with a smile, there was inevitably a feeling of sadness in his words.
In the past, I was accompanying the emperor, but now I am playing mahjong in a downcast state. What a completely different ending.
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently, looked at Eunuch Fu who had a lonely look on his brows, raised his hand and patted Eunuch Fu on the shoulder, took out a five hundred tael of silver notes and stuffed it into Eunuch Fu's hand.
"Old friend, thank you."
Fuhai was startled, looking at Liu Mingzhi with complicated eyes, hesitatingly looking at the banknote in his hand and finally putting it away.
"It will be worth our life to be able to call my father-in-law an old friend."
"Master, wait a moment, we will come as soon as we go."
After Eunuch Fu left, waving the fly whisk, Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly as he watched the three reserved little eunuchs opposite him sit on Eunuch Fu's chair.
"There's no need to be formal. Let's go ahead. I'll do two rounds for Eunuch Fu first. You guys are not allowed to let go."
"this......."
The three little eunuchs looked at each other hesitantly and did not dare to sit down.
"What's wrong? I'm already sitting down. You won't let me fight alone, right?"
"No, no, no, let's go with you."
Liu Mingzhi didn't let them let their guard down, but he observed the expressions of the three young eunuchs when they drew the cards, and tried to prevent their expressions from letting their guard down.
In just half a stick of incense, Mr. Liu lit the cannon several times, and all the broken silver in his hand fell into the pockets of the three young eunuchs.
The three young eunuchs did not dare to ask for it at first, but after a few refusals, they felt relieved to put the money into their sleeves after seeing Master Liu sincerely admitting defeat.
"Gojo! My three father-in-laws, I heard that there is some unrest in this palace recently. I don't know who is so bold as to dare to spread rumors and cause trouble. Is there any place in the world that is more peaceful than the palace?"
"I dare to say that there is no peace in the palace. If I know who is talking nonsense, I will report it to Your Majesty for severe punishment."
The little eunuch who sat opposite Liu Mingzhi looked around: "Master, we have also heard that you are the princess's consort, and there is no need for us to hide it from you. If I tell you, don't tell it, otherwise we will It’s too light to carry around even if you can’t eat it, and you might lose your head.”
"Don't worry. When my father was alive, he didn't know anyone about my favor. I am also half of the Li family. How could I tell others about my family's affairs?"
"Six tubes! We can rest assured when the Prince Consort says this. There is indeed something going on in the palace during this period. I heard some brothers secretly discussing it and said that it seems that His Majesty's temper has not been very good recently. He always likes to get angry after retiring from the court!"
"We don't know if it's true or false."
"Oh? Are you furious? Is it because of the border conflict between the Jin and Turks that makes Your Majesty unhappy?"
"No, I heard it seems to be a matter between the two empresses."
"Some of our close maids secretly told us that the two ladies are very interested in the seats above!"
Young Master Liu calmly played a card: "Is there nothing else besides these?"
"What a fool!"
"Master, you are so unlucky. We haven't heard of any other unfair things."
Liu Mingzhi happily took out a banknote and slapped it on the table: "It's not that I'm unlucky, but that you guys are so lucky. I can't help it. Everything has been going wrong for me recently."
"I don't know if he did something that made people angry, or maybe he provoked some villains to slander me behind my back."
"There is nothing you can do about it. Life is not what you want. Who is not careless? Do you think you are right?"
"Master, we can't find this banknote of yours, why don't we forget about it!"
"There's no need to look for it. Maybe I'll fire up the cannon next time. Save it for now!"
"Okay, you're welcome. Thank you, sir!"
The little eunuch on the left looked enviously at the fifty taels of silver notes put away by his good friend and silently played cards.
The little eunuch's eyes did not escape Liu Mingzhi's perception. He chuckled and played a card that made the little eunuch smile.
"The position in the harem should belong to my younger cousin from the Yun family. This has long been tacitly understood. Concubine Chen and Concubine He naturally know it very well. There should be no need to argue."
The little eunuch on the left gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while and looked around: "Sir, although we have lost our yin power, we are still a man of seven feet. You should understand what we are, sir, she is Serve the people around the Queen Mother."
"One day we met and we were chatting. She said that she vaguely heard His Majesty say the word "abolish the queen" outside the door.
"But we think she must have heard wrongly. The eldest lady of the Yun family is the empress appointed by the late emperor. How dare your majesty depose her!"
Mr. Liu was startled when he was playing cards, and he quickly came to his senses, changed the cards and played them: "Four."
"Master, I'm really sorry, we've acted foolishly again."
"Good luck! It seems that I am going to lose my fortune today!"
Mr. Liu said as he spoke, he took out another banknote: "Old rule, put it away first if you don't need to look for it. There is no chance that my momentum will ruin your fortune!"
"Then we'll be disrespectful. Thank you sir."
"One more..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's Imperial Study has invited you!"
Young Master Liu, who was about to do another lap, stood up when he heard Fu Hai's voice: "Thank you, I'll be there right away."
"Your Majesty, please go slowly, we won't see you off."
Young Master Liu turned around and looked at the other three young eunuchs and smiled: "We will continue to fight if we have the opportunity in the future. I will leave first."
After Young Master Liu left, the sound of mahjong playing came from the hall again.
Young Master Liu walked towards the imperial study in a familiar manner. Young Master Liu had the right to walk in the palace except for the harem. When the guards saw Young Master Liu, they responded with a smile and did not do anything to make things difficult.
"My dear brother, please see your royal brother."
"Seat without courtesy."
"Thank you, Brother Huang."
Li Baiyu looked at Young Master Liu in confusion: "Brother-in-law, we are going to go to war the day after tomorrow. If you don't stay at home and be gentle with your family, why do you go and come back?"
Young Master Liu took a breath and stood up gently. He took out the handsome seal from his arms and held it in his hand. He looked at Li Baiyu, who was a little confused, with clear eyes.
"My brother, I dare to ask the emperor a question."
"I will be outside. Do you accept your orders?"
Li Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and his brows gradually deepened as he looked at the handsome seal in Young Master Liu's hand.
Subconsciously, he picked up the tea cup and drank it gently. In an instant, the silence in the royal study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Young Master Liu stood holding the seal, while Li Baiyu sat holding a cup.
Time passed by bit by bit. I don’t know how long it took, but the two of them no longer cared about the passage of time.
"Brother-in-law, how confident are you of this expedition?"
"Seventy percent!"
Li Baiyu clutched the tea cup tightly and stood up suddenly, looking at Young Master Liu with bright eyes.
"As long as you, Liu Mingzhi, have a clear conscience, are worthy of your father's royal kindness, and are worthy of your brother's trust, I will not have any problem with you even if you lead 300,000 cavalry to gather under the city gate!"
"In this expedition, Brother Wei will give you absolute rights. The rear area will be left to Brother Wei, so you can fight freely."
"I will not accept your fate!"
