The imperial garden was on duty for two years.
Secretly listening to what various people are saying and doing.
Zhou Yi is no longer as innocent and ignorant as before, he already knows the affairs between men and women.
The palace maids could not bear the loneliness in the palace, so they would look for a companion to hang out with. Even though the chamberlain was a eunuch, at least he looked like a man on the surface, and he could still enjoy the pleasure of being married.
Most of them are dining together, and some are just like the man and woman in the rockery, pretending to be doing things.
The chamberlain's name is Xiao Luzi, an old man who guards the Imperial Garden, and the palace maid Jin Xue serves Concubine Hua in the Yaohua Palace.
Zhou Yi got goosebumps in disgust as he listened to Xiao Luzi's words of love, love, and missed you so much. He cursed secretly that this guy really knew how to act and deceive people.
Or who in the palace can't act?
After a while, the palace maid put on her clothes and left. After a while, a small path emerged from the rockery.
Xiao Luzi did not return to his post, but went to Jiang Xuexuan to report the news to Eunuch Li.
"The day before yesterday, Your Majesty went to Yaohua Palace. Concubine Hua tried to win the title of King of Wei for the fifth prince. Your Majesty neither agreed nor refused..."
This was the news that had just been received from the palace maid. Xiaoluzi and Jinxue had paired up to get the news from Yaohua Palace and then tell Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li was once on duty in Kunning Palace, and he was the Queen's man!
"What's going on in the palace..."
Zhou Yi stood guard with an expressionless face, and recited silently in his mind again, expanding to hundreds of rules for duty in the palace.
At the same time, he also silently wrote down the news about Yaohua Palace and told his godfather, Eunuch Xu, that he would definitely get a lot of rewards. He saved more than one thousand taels in two years.
I asked Eunuch Xu's other godson, Shang Shanjian, to purchase and send Eunuch Liu home 200 taels, and the labor fee in the middle was 300 taels!
"It's easy to make money in the palace and spend it quickly."
Zhou Yi didn't feel any guilt for betraying Xiao Luzi. There was nothing new in the palace. News of Yaohua Palace would spread throughout the palace within three days.
In ten days and a half, everyone in the outer court will know.
Maybe it was spread by Concubine Hua, maybe it was spread by the Queen, or it was spread by other concubines, or maybe His Majesty had someone spread it. No one can figure out whether it is true or false, true or false.
"Concubine Hua's natal family controls the Zhenbei Army, so they must have made great efforts to push the fifth prince to be crowned King of Wei!"
"After all, if you want to ascend the throne, you must first be crowned king. This is the rule of the country..."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and surmised a lot of information. He also knew that the court was divided into several factions, which ones supported Concubine Hua and which ones supported the other princes.
The influence of the art of listening and breathing on the Book of Changes is no less than that of the Epiphyllum Collection.
The latter is martial arts strength, and the former is spiritual transformation.
Listen to His Majesty talking about the important affairs of the country, listen to the concubines teaching the princes and princesses, listen to the chambermaids who appear to be doing one thing but behind the scenes, listen to the conspiracies, and listen to the overt and covert fights...
Countless pieces of information gathered together, turning Zhou Yi from a homeless man into a little Yi Zi, and then into Eunuch Yi.
The so-called original intention is probably just to send money to my parents!
…
Lower value.
When Zhou Yi came to be the palace supervisor, he kowtowed outside the door.
"Godfather, Xiao Yizi wishes to greet you."
"Well, come in."
Eunuch Xu's voice came out from the palace. It was gloomy and there was no hint of joy or anger.
Zhou Yi bowed his body and entered the door, then kowtowed in front of Eunuch Xu, with a flattering look on his face.
"Greetings to my godfather, I wish him eternal blessings and longevity!"
These words are quite sincere. Eunuch Xu is Zhou Yi's biggest supporter in the palace. The other chamberlains' honorific titles of "Eunuch Yi" and "Brother Yi" are all because of Eunuch Xu's face.
As long as Eunuch Xu lives long, Zhou Yi can be on duty safely.
As for Xiao Xizi's death, he has long forgotten it, or rather let it go.
It is no longer easy for me to live a stable life if no one is killed and no one is unjustly accused in the palace!
"Jie Jie Jie."
Eunuch Xu laughed like a night owl: "You still speak nicely, what do you want to do today?"
Zhou Yi reported: "Your Majesty went to Yaohua Palace the day before yesterday..."
"Hmph!"
Eunuch Xu snorted coldly, his face becoming more and more gloomy. He belonged to Concubine Zhong Cui and Gong Yuan.
Concubine Yuan Gui's son is the second prince and is most likely to succeed to the throne at the moment. Hearing that Concubine Hua is paving the way for the fifth prince, she feels disgusted and wary.
The earlier you know the news, the easier it will be to deal with it.
"Xiao Yizi did a good job. This is the southern pearl rewarded by Imperial Concubine Yuan. It is given to you so that you can have a good life in the future."
Zhou Yi held Nanzhu in both hands and kowtowed: "Thank you godfather for this gift."
"Go down."
Eunuch Xu nodded with satisfaction. This boy from the countryside was originally hired for Eunuch Wen's sake, but he never expected to be quite clever and efficient in doing things.
Zhou Yi bowed and exited the hall, waited for a moment by the wall, and saw Xiao Yunzi coming out.
"Brother Yun, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few days."
Xiao Yunzi groveled in front of Eunuch Xu. He came out with his head held high and his eyes raised above his head: "How can you please your godfather?"
There was a hint of reproach in his voice, but also a hint of fear.
"This is all due to Brother Yun's good teaching."
Zhou Yi took out the Nanzhu he just got and asked: "Brother Yun, we are just mud-legged people from the countryside. How have we ever seen such a treasure as Nanzhu? I wonder how much taels of silver it is worth?"
"How many taels? Humph!"
Xiao Yunzi was about to say a few words of disdain, mocking Mud Legs for his lack of knowledge, but when he saw Zhou Yi's flattering look, he suddenly felt something in his heart and said.
"This is a gift from Imperial Concubine Yuan, and it's worth a hundred and eighty taels!"
"It's so expensive."
Zhou Yi pretended to be amazed and said: "We wild boar can't eat fine chaff, so how can we appreciate pearls? We only like gold and silver. How about brother Yun buy it?"
Xiao Yunzi's eyes were full of greed: "Then we can accept it."
Zhou Yi offered his hands: "Excuse me, Brother Yun."
Xiao Yunzi put away the Nanzhu skillfully, touched it on his sleeves, and said with a confused look on his face: "I didn't bring my banknote when I went out today, how about you come with me to my residence to get it?"
"It's so troublesome."
A cold light flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, with a smile on his face: "Whenever Brother Yun brings money, just give it to me."
"Okay, okay!"
Xiao Yunzi chuckled strangely and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "You kid, you can achieve great things."
"Borrow Brother Yun's good words."
Zhou Yi bowed repeatedly and waited for Xiao Yunzi to return to the palace. He turned around and his face suddenly became gloomy.
The little notebook in my heart made another note!
——On September 23, the thirty-fourth year of Hongwu, Xiao Yunzi extorted a South Pearl!
"We have to settle all these accounts sooner or later."
On the way back, Zhou Yi habitually bowed his waist and crossed his arms in front of him. When he met an unknown chamberlain, he gave way first, and when he met a familiar servant, he nodded to show his goodwill.
When meeting a noble person in the palace, he kneels on the ground and bows to him.
After walking through many palace walls, the night was like water and the chill hit me, and I finally returned to Bingsanshe's residence.
Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Yuanzi were talking. They were talking about the fact that Mr. Chu, the chief minister of etiquette, invited himself to guard the imperial mausoleum because he was too old, so the seat became vacant.
Zhou Yi met Eunuch Chu several times, and most of the time he stayed with his majesty.
Once I met him alone. Eunuch Chu was surrounded by more than a dozen chamberlains on his left and right, and he was even more majestic than the nobles in the palace.
It is rumored that when the princes and princesses meet Eunuch Chu, they all have to call him Master Chu or Chu Qiansui affectionately, which shows his status in the palace. His godfather Eunuch Xu is a grandson.
When I dreamed back at midnight, Zhou Yi also imagined: He can take his place!
Of course, it’s just a dream, the kind that I don’t even dare to talk about in my sleep...
