But when he saw the prince standing in front of him, who was about to lead him to the palace, always wearing a fake smile, his enthusiasm for seeing his luxurious new home was gone in an instant. He really couldn't like this guy who always had a fake smile on his face.
Obviously sending an official from Zongzheng Temple could solve the problem, but this guy who did it himself was a little too enthusiastic about this matter. For a country's crown prince to be so enthusiastic about this trivial matter regardless of his status is definitely not out of brotherhood. As for what he was thinking, I'm afraid only he himself knows.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong made up his mind that no matter what this guy said or what he was going to do today, he would give him a shake of his head. It is necessary to be polite on the surface. After all, this guy is the prince now, and half of his life is still in his hands. But in private, you must not agree to anything to this guy, in case this guy sets a trap for you.
Standing outside the gate of his new home, looking at the guards and soldiers standing straight outside the door, he hesitated slightly before deciding to go in. After all, this is his new home now. What's the point of standing at the door and not going in? I hate that guy, but I still have to move this family.
Seeing Huang Qiong staring at the guards standing outside the palace, the prince next to Huang Qiong chuckled, pointed at the guards and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, these are the two carefully selected for you from among the guards of the East Palace. The ten bodyguards are all top-notch masters. The guards are also carefully selected for you from the crane-controlling armies on your left and right."
"Ninth brother, as the eldest brother, I have made a lot of exceptions for you this time. When other princes and princes leave the palace, they are in charge of Zongzheng Temple and the front of the palace, but I have never intervened. Today When I come to Ninth Brother, I have set a big precedent for my brother. I hope other brothers will not complain behind my back about being partial to my brother."
Having said this, the prince laughed, grabbed Huang Qiong's hand, and walked towards the palace. However, the prince said he was affectionate, but Huang Qiong gave him a knowing look when he walked into the palace and passed by a man wearing the uniform of a seventh-grade military attache who should be the leader of the guards. Regarding the prince's action, Huang Qiong just smiled lightly.
In fact, Huang Qiong had already been mentally prepared for this even after the prince took the job assigned by the emperor. As long as he is not an idiot, none of his brothers would miss this opportunity to put his own people in his house. The only thing that somewhat surprised him was that he didn't expect the prince to do it so obviously.
If he had done something like this, his future life might not be under the surveillance of the prince all the time. These guards will report their every move to the prince as soon as possible. Seeing the scene in front of him, Huang Qiong felt somewhat grateful to his emperor.
If he hadn't selected a group of eunuchs and maids from his own side, and approved the purchase of some servants, his mansion would probably be filled with people sent by the prince from top to bottom, and he would have no secrets. Insurable. Although Huang Qiong also knew that among the people sent by the emperor, there must be people who were doing the same thing as the people sent by the prince.
But fortunately the emperor would at least not endanger himself, but the prince's intentions were uncertain. As for now, although his bodyguards and army guards are all members of this guy, at least he can't interfere with the people close to him. As for the so-called first-rate guards in the prince's mouth, they were actually only second-rate or third-rate guards at most. Huang Qiong really didn't pay attention to them.
According to his current skills, these people who are not experts at all are not his opponents together. As long as I am more careful, with the actual level of these guys, if I want to truly monitor all aspects, I am afraid I need to work harder.
Huang Qiong remembered that her mother told herself that few masters with truly first-class skills were willing to serve the court and the royal family. Although serving the imperial court not only brings salary, but also other gray income that far exceeds salary. But these people are used to it and are unwilling to be constrained by that.
The most important thing is to become the so-called court eagle dog, which is not a good reputation for those first-class masters. So not to mention those super first-class masters, even ordinary first-class masters did not serve the imperial court very much. Even if there are, most of them are closely guarding the emperor and the prince.
Not to mention that the prince himself does not have many around him, even if there are first-class masters, they will not be sent to him. I am afraid that in the eyes of this prince, he, a scholar who has never taken a step beyond Ting Xuexuan since he was a child, and who probably does not even know the riding and archery skills that Emperor Taizu ordered the prince to practice, sent a few second-guessing Third-rate people come here in the name of protection, but in fact they are doing surveillance to give themselves a lot of face.
Huang Qiong understood the prince's painstaking efforts. But what he still didn't understand was, what was the emperor's true intention? Were his intentional or unintentional words in the Wende Hall meant to stimulate the prince, or did they have other profound meanings?
However, I have never understood what the emperor meant, but there is one thing Huang Qiong is still very self-aware of. That is the meaning of the emperor's words. It is definitely not to tell myself that you, my boy, will do your job well. If one day in the future I prepare to change the prince, you, my boy, will still have a great chance.
Huang Qiong has always been calm and did not let his imagination run wild because of the meaningful words of the Emperor in the Wende Palace. But when he turned his gaze from the guards to the prince who was holding his hand, he felt the same chill in his heart as he had in the Wende Hall a few days ago. He tried several times to take his hand out without leaving a trace, but failed.
Although there were not many times, Huang Qiong always felt nauseated every time the prince grabbed his hand. He can swear to God that although he does not discriminate against homosexuals, he has absolutely no interest in that tune, let alone the peach-dividing and sleeve-cutting habits of this era. He only likes women and has always been insensitive to men.
It's just that he doesn't discriminate, but he doesn't like to come into contact with people who have this kind of hobby. For a person who is said to have this hobby, it feels very uncomfortable when his hand is grabbed. It was just that his hand was held tightly by the prince, and since there was no way to take it out without hurting the prince's dignity, he could only hold back his nausea and be pulled into the courtyard by the prince.
"My slaves and maids greet the prince and wish him long blessings and good health." As soon as they entered the courtyard, there were eunuchs and maids waiting to receive them, as well as dozens of servants, who knelt on the ground when they saw the prince arriving. Seeing someone who had become a staff member of his family kneeling in front of him, Huang Qiong, who had never had any similar experience, seemed somewhat at a loss.
"This is the newly canonized King of Hejian County. He is the ninth younger brother of the widow. He will also be your new master from now on. You will serve me carefully from now on. If anyone wants to bully the King of Hejian County who is young and soft-hearted, he will be a slave to the master. When something happens, I will never take mercy on you. You must have heard of my method of dealing with my slaves. When the time comes, don’t blame me for doing things that go against the harmony of nature."
"As a slave, you must act like a slave, abide by your duties as a slave, and understand the difference between superiority and inferiority. Some of you came from the palace and think that you are protected in the palace, so I can't do anything to you. . But I’m telling you, I want to punish you and won’t give anyone face.”
After the prince finished speaking, several of the eunuchs, maids, and servants kneeling on the ground visibly trembled. The rest of the people also nodded hurriedly and showed their kindness to the prince, for fear that they would offend the vicious prince with a late answer.
Judging from the horrified expressions on the faces of the people who were kneeling after listening to the prince's words, Huang Qiong could guess that the prince must be quite vicious in his methods of punishing those who disobey him, otherwise he would not be able to deal with these people in just a few words. The slave was so scared. In response to the prince's killing blow, Huang Qiong just stood aside and smiled lightly, saying nothing.
On the surface, the prince's move seemed to help him shock the eunuchs and slaves, but in fact it was a demonstration against him. What he did was tell himself, don't think that because you have the emperor's protection, you dare to do whatever you want. If he wants to clean himself up, he can do it at any time, and the emperor can't do anything to him.
You are just a Hejian County King now. You should never have any wishful thinking and be superior to the prince. As the prince of the court, I have many ways to deal with you. Huang Qiong heard and understood the prince's disguised warning, but he just smiled faintly. Let the current prince continue to perform this drama.
Seeing the eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, the prince was very satisfied with the effect of his killing stick. After nodding, he turned to Huang Qiong and said: "Ninth brother, if they are scornful in the future, you should tell your brother and he will take it out on you."
"These eunuchs and maids are all selected by my father. I can't say anything for you. But these twenty servants are all carefully selected for you by my brother from several villages under the name of your emperor's sister-in-law." Come over here. I also sent you their deeds of renunciation. They are all smart and capable people, so you can use them with confidence and boldness."
Although he saw through the prince's intentions, Huang Qiong remained calm, and even the smile on his face did not diminish by half: "I will accept your highness's wishes. I also thank you very much." Your Highness. However, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have never seen much of the world and are not used to this kind of scene. Why don't you let them get up first?"
"What did Ninth Brother say? Now they are all slaves in your house. It is Ninth Brother who decides what to do, and Ninth Brother can do whatever he says. But Ninth Brother, running a family is not an easy task. , especially since you are not married yet and there is no one in charge of your family."
"Although these slaves are very honest now, in fact, these guys are very cunning. Brother Wei thinks that it is better to let them kneel for a while and kill them in a more powerful way. Don't be too angry when you treat these lowly people, slaves It’s not like they can’t do serious deception.”
Having said this, the prince looked at Huang Qiong beside him, and said with a faint smile: "It's better to establish the rules early. If there are no rules, what will you do? With the rules, they won't cause trouble for you. However, Ninth Brother I think your house is still lacking a housekeeper, do you need me to get one from the East Palace for you?"
