Ye Xuan looked at the other person's back and smiled proudly.
He possesses peerless martial arts skills and has made great contributions to the country in front of the Queen!
Next up!
Our little eunuch’s good day has come!
…
In the evening.
Ye Xuan was helping Liu Chan dig soil in the open space in the courtyard.
Winter is coming soon, so Liu Chan wants to loosen the soil first. After a few months, she wants to plant some flowers and plants in the yard.
Liu Chan likes flowers and plants very much.
When she was a child, the house was full of flowers and plants. In recent years, she was in the harem and couldn't help herself. She could only appreciate the beautiful flowers and plants when passing by the imperial garden.
Now, with Ye Xuan living in this huge Qixianyuan, and with such a large area of land, naturally this land cannot be left abandoned.
Seeing that Liu Chang was happy, Ye Xuan certainly encouraged and supported her. He even said that when spring comes next year, he will definitely find a way to help her find some beautiful flower seeds.
Just as a few people were loosening the ground, a middle-aged eunuch in his forties appeared in the front yard with someone.
Taohong, the young palace maid of Qixianyuan, hurriedly called Ye Xuan and others out.
"Is Eunuch Ye here?"
The middle-aged eunuch said loudly.
"I've met Eunuch Hai."
Seeing the person in front of him, Ye Xuanli bowed his hands politely.
This person is Hai Dafu, the eunuch in charge of the palace. He has been with the late emperor for more than 20 years when he was here. It can be said that he has watched the queen grow up.
After the Queen ascended the throne, she continued to hand over the management of palace maids and eunuchs to Hai Dafu. It can be said that he was deeply trusted by the Queen.
"Eunuch Ye."
Hai Dafu looks cute and naive. Even when he is usually expressionless, he still has a natural smile.
at this time.
Hai Dafu raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes with a smile, just like a happy Buddha.
He did not have an arrogant attitude just because he was the chief internal officer. Instead, he also bowed his body, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty has summoned you, please come with our family immediately."
"Oh, is it... because of the competition with the Qin envoy?"
Ye Xuan took a step forward, lowered his head, and asked with a smile.
"this……"
Hai Dafu still had a smile on his face, but he said meaningfully: "Whether it is a matter of the mission, we can only wait until Eunuch Ye leaves to find out. As for our family, we are just messengers, how can we dare to guess His Majesty's thoughts?" …”
"Hey!" Hearing what the other party said, Ye Xuan was almost sure that the Queen was not looking for him because of the competition in a few days. Seeing Hai Dafu's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little in his heart, and then took out a bag from his sleeve pocket. A hundred taels of silver notes were secretly stuffed into his hand. "Eunuch Hai, I used to be a little-known little eunuch. Thanks to your majesty's favor, I became a sixth-grade eunuch. From now on, I have to hang out with you! Your majesty suddenly summoned me. If it weren't for the purpose of I am very worried about the group affairs, I wonder if Eunuch Hai can... reveal something? Eunuch Hai, please rest assured, I will definitely honor you in the future!"
"you……"
Hai Dafu secretly glanced at the banknote in his hand, his eyes lit up, he looked left and right, and then he lowered his voice and whispered.
"Is it related to the deposed queen?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was stunned.
"Our family has only heard a few words from His Majesty, and we don't dare to make any assumptions. We also ask Eunuch Ye to go see Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
Hai Dafu chuckled.
"All right."
Ye Xuan could only nodded.
soon.
Inside Tianji Palace.
Royal study room.
The Queen was standing tall in front of the bookcase, holding a book in her hand, her eyes slightly closed, and murmuring in her mouth, as if she was reciting something.
Ye Xuan came to the door.
Hai Dafu shouted, and the queen let Ye Xuan walk in.
There were only the Queen and Ye Xuan in the huge imperial study.
Ye Xuan stood aside and said nothing, quietly waiting for the queen to speak.
finally.
The queen put the book in her hand on the bookcase casually, sat aside and looked at Ye Xuan.
"I have met His Majesty."
Ye Xuan immediately stepped forward and held his hands.
"Are you ready for the competition in a few days?"
the queen asked suddenly.
"Get ready. It's a piece of cake to deal with those people from the Qin State History Group. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Ye Xuan replied.
"Well, since you are the sixth-grade deputy eunuch in charge of the palace, you always have to do something."
The Queen said calmly.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to..."
The word "Deposed Queen" appeared in Ye Xuan's mind.
"Xiao Xuanzi, you should know about Queen Xiuning in the harem, right?"
the queen asked.
"Know."
Ye Xuan nodded.
"Queen Xiuning is weak and sick, and Concubine Yi has to take care of the entire harem and has limited energy. Therefore, Queen Xiuning needs someone to take care of her. You will be responsible for the supply in Queen Xiuning's yard. If something goes wrong, it will happen again like last year. If someone freezes to death, then I... you are the only one who can ask."
The Queen narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
"yes."
Ye Xuan replied.
"Um?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's answer so readily, the Queen couldn't help but frown: "You are also a smart person. Since you know Queen Xiuning, you know that this job is not easy to handle. Don't you...don't mention any conditions?"
"Your Majesty, what conditions can I offer to do something for you? Even if your Majesty asks me to go through the mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will never refuse..."
"Really? What you said sounds nice. If that's the case, then you..."
"Hehe, but Your Majesty, you will definitely not let me go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire! Right?" Ye Xuan immediately picked up the topic, chuckled, raised his head, and looked directly at the Queen.
The queen in front of her looks to be only twenty-one or twelve years old. She is tall and has delicate facial features with a hint of heroism. Although she is an emperor, she is still a girl. Even though she is wearing a loose brocade dragon robe, her graceful and full body is still beautiful. The posture can still be seen clearly.
The Queen didn't seem to notice Ye Xuan's strange look, and smiled faintly: "I didn't realize you were so smart before, but now it seems that I underestimated you before!"
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Ye Xuan hurriedly raised his hands.
"Okay, let's go." But the next moment, the queen stopped smiling, waved her hand impatiently, and looked at the bookcase again.
"Yes." Ye Xuan bent over and exited the imperial study room step by step.
On the way back to Qixianyuan, Ye Xuan was puzzled as to why the emperor asked him to take charge of the supply of Queen Xiuning after he was deposed. Although the matter was not complicated, it was said that when Queen Xiuning was in charge of the harem, she was an upright person. She offended a lot of people, and after hearing what the Queen said, she obviously asked herself to take care of Queen Xiuning!
but. After all, this is the task given to Ye Xuan by the Queen. Naturally, it can only be accomplished and cannot be failed!
Just when Ye Xuan arrived at the gate of Qixianyuan, Xiao Taohong suddenly ran out of the courtyard and looked anxious when she saw Ye Xuan.
"No, Eunuch Ye, something happened!"
Xiao Taohong frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan looked confused.
"Eunuch Ye, Liu Xi, the adopted son of Eunuch Liu in the imperial dining room... came to see Sister Chan again!"
