Hearing the words of the leader of the chamberlain who was monitoring Zhu Jingxuan, the "gift-giving eunuch" in the Queen Mother's Palace suddenly showed an expression of heartache. As for Zhu Jingxuan on the side, he showed a very cooperative expression of surprise and uncertainty on his face. It was as if he was stunned by the greed and boldness of the servants who were spying on him.
However, although Zhu Jingxuan's face showed a very cooperative expression of surprise and uncertainty, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Just because Zhu Jingxuan, who is familiar with the plot of the original book, knows very well that if the servants who can be arranged by the Liu family around him can be easily bribed with money, then they will not be arranged by the Liu family to "personally" serve him. , "incidentally" recorded his words and deeds!
Then, with Zhu Jingxuan's pretended surprised expression, the chief eunuch from the Queen Mother's side took out three silver notes again with great distress, and stuffed them into the hands of the remaining three people with trembling hands.
And these eunuchs who were monitoring Zhu Jingxuan, after getting their share of the money, did not embarrass this person, and directly moved out of the way, allowing the eunuchs around the Queen Mother to contact the emperor. As for these four The eunuch who served the banknote was also very "sensible" and stayed away from the two of them, leaving Zhu Jingxuan and the eunuch alone.
"His Majesty……"
As soon as the eunuch next to the Queen Mother spoke, Zhu Jingxuan, who deliberately showed a stern look on his face, pretended to be sincere... and took a step back.
Seeing this, the eunuch beside the Queen Mother couldn't help but show a look of contempt.
A puppet is just a puppet, even if he becomes the emperor, it is nothing more than that!
Thinking like this, the chief eunuch immediately raised his head with a proud look on his face and asked Zhu Jingxuan: "Why didn't your Majesty pay an audience to the Queen Mother today?"
In response to the chief eunuch's questioning, Zhu Jingxuan answered "honestly": "Reporting to this father-in-law, didn't you inform me yesterday that I should not go out at will? I am acting according to your instructions. Yes!"
Hearing Zhu Jingxuan's words, the chief eunuch couldn't help but be slightly startled: Is this what I meant by what I said to the puppet emperor yesterday? What on earth did I say yesterday?
Seeing that the leader eunuch seemed unresponsive, Zhu Jingxuan immediately kindly "helped" him regain his memory and said: "My father-in-law, I have always remembered your instructions yesterday! You told me yesterday that the Queen Mother A flower viewing party will be held in the imperial garden in the near future, so if I have nothing to do, I will not come out, so as not to bump into the ladies from various families who come to the palace to attend the flower viewing party!"
"No! No! No!" The chief eunuch heard this and immediately shook his head and said, "We just asked you yesterday to try to avoid the ladies from various families who came to the palace to attend the flower viewing party. , so as not to bump into them, but I never told you not to leave the palace."
"But doesn't this mean the same thing?" Zhu Jingxuan pretended to be confused and scratched his head. "I thought, as long as I don't leave the palace, then I won't bump into those noble ladies who come to the palace to attend the flower viewing party. Are they here?"
"But you can't stop going to meet the Queen Mother just because you are afraid of bumping into the ladies!" The chief eunuch next to the Queen Mother glared at Zhu Jingxuan angrily, "Compared with meeting the Queen Mother, bumping into the ladies is even more difficult. What does it matter? You can’t just ignore priorities!"
"But... Isn't it the Queen Mother's command to close the palace door so as not to bump into the ladies? How can I disobey it?" Zhu Jingxuan showed a very cowardly and fearful expression, and said this with a murmur on his lips. .
"No! No! That's not the Queen Mother's oral instruction. Your Majesty got it wrong!" The chief eunuch said angrily, "That was just the Queen Mother's casual instructions when she was taking a nap. It cannot be regarded as an oral instruction... You have to be flexible. Do you understand flexibility? Therefore, you don’t need to be so strict with yourself.”
"Eunuch, how could you say such a thing?" Regarding the words of the chief eunuch beside the Queen Mother, Zhu Jingxuan glared at him with dissatisfaction and said, "The Queen Mother has Tianxian in her mouth, even if it is just a casual instruction, then It's also an oral instruction! It's also an imperial edict! How dare my father-in-law be so negligent?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Your Majesty, you are right!" The chief eunuch, who was unwilling to waste time with Zhu Jingxuan in this regard, nodded perfunctorily, then his expression changed, and he stared solemnly. Zhu Jingxuan said, "But no matter what, your Majesty did not go to see the Queen Mother today, which is a big mistake... So, when your Majesty goes with our family to see the Queen Mother later, don't say anything, just apologize, just apologize." You said you were sick, and you were worried about infecting the Queen Mother, so you didn't go to see the Queen Mother... Don't say anything else. Even if the Queen Mother asked, you must say this, otherwise, the gods won't be able to save you. do you understand?"
Looking at the eunuch who was pretending to be fierce, Zhu Jingxuan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: Does this guy really think that he, the puppet emperor, is a novice who doesn't understand anything? In other words, the stupid guy in front of him has not realized who brought him the crisis until now!
He also didn't want to think about it. Didn't the origin of his crisis stem from the fact that he didn't wait outside Changle Palace yesterday, waiting for the Queen Mother to wake up?
Oh, by the way, I also need to add that I, the puppet emperor, did not go to see the Queen Mother today to say hello to her, which made the Queen Mother very dissatisfied. If the Queen Mother knew the reason for all this, It was because a certain little eunuch next to him pretended to pass on Yin's decree... Then his little eunuch's head would probably have to be moved on the spot!
However, this is what he thought in his heart, but on the surface, Zhu Jingxuan still pretended to be extremely hesitant on his face. Then, under the increasingly impatient eyes of the eunuch, he said indifferently: " Well...my father-in-law, I think your excuse for illness is very inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?" The eunuch beside the Queen Mother asked with dissatisfaction, frowning slightly.
Zhu Jingxuan pretended not to see the look on the eunuch's face, and said worriedly: "My father-in-law asked me to tell the Queen Mother that I didn't go to see the Queen Mother because I was sick and was afraid of infecting her. , but, am I sick? Don’t they know that I, the chamberlain in the Weiyang Palace, and the guards outside the Weiyang Palace don’t know? You asked me to tell the Queen Mother like this, in case someone finds out later, Then wouldn’t I become an unfilial son who deceived my mother?”
