"Yes!" After Su Chang saluted and accepted the order, she walked out of the front hall.
Not long after, Su Chang came in with a fair-faced, beardless man wearing a green robe and hat. But seeing this handsome appearance, Lu Chen knew that the person who came was probably a eunuch from the palace.
However, after the eunuch walked in, the way he looked at Lu Chen made Lu Chen very uncomfortable. The man had an arrogant look on his face, and there was a certain amount of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Lu Chen.
"Who are you?" Lu Chen tapped Erlang's leg, held a tea cup, looked at the eunuch standing in front of him contemptuously, and asked in a rather unhappy tone.
"Wu Ji, the head of Deqing Palace! I have met the Duke of Chang'an County!" Wu Ji, the eunuch in charge of Deqing Palace, rushed to Lu Chen and cupped his hands. Although it was also a salute and greeting, there was no respect in Wu Ji's words. And the gift of a gift seems to be just going through the motions.
"Deqing Palace? Where is that?" Lu Chen looked at Wu Ji, put down the tea cup, picked up a pastry on the side, took a bite, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Wu Ji and asked.
How could Lu Chen not know who lived in Deqing Palace? Even if Lu Chen didn't know, Su Chang knew it. Su Chang would definitely tell Lu Chen what Deqing Palace was for. Wu Ji glanced sideways. Su Chang glanced at Su Chang, and then looked at Lu Chen. Wu Ji knew that Lu Chen was looking at him the way he was now, and it was obvious that he was asking questions knowingly.
But Wu Ji didn't dare to have an attack. Even though he was in the harem and was considered a prominent figure because of Concubine Yin De, Lu Chen would not give him that face now. Besides, he didn't know about the affairs of the last emperor Yin A Shu. , so I don’t dare to take Joe too seriously.
"Going back to Duke Lu, Deqing Palace is the residence of the current Concubine Deqing!" Wu Ji looked at Lu Chen and replied patiently.
"Oh! It turns out to be the eunuch in charge of Concubine De!" Lu Chen threw half of the pastry into his mouth, then clapped his hands and slapped the residue to the ground, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, " Su Chang, next time you ask the kitchen to make this pastry, add more oil, it's a bit choking when you eat it now!" Lu Chen ignored Wu Ji standing in front of him and looked at Su Chang.
"Yes! The maid must inform the kitchen!" Su Chang saluted Lu Chen.
Lu Chen nodded, then turned to look at Wu Ji again, "You are the eunuch in charge of Concubine De, right?"
"Yes!" Although Wu Ji was annoyed, he still had to respond patiently.
"You, a eunuch in charge, are not in the palace to serve the queen. Why did you come to me?" Lu Chen straightened his face and scolded Wu Ji who was opposite him, "You should return to the palace quickly. I will treat you as if you are not here." Pass!" After Lu Chen finished, he waved his hand directly towards Wu Ji.
Being scolded by Lu Chen in this way made Wu Ji confused. He came to Lu Chen on the order of Concubine Yin De, but as soon as they met, Lu Chen immediately wanted to kick him out. He hadn't even finished the matter yet! How are you going to explain to Concubine Yin De when you get back?
"Mr. Lu, our family came to look for Mr. Lu on the orders of Concubine De!" Wu Jitong explained to Lu Chen.
"Concubine De's decree? Does your Majesty know about it?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wu Ji. You must know that a concubine's order alone is not enough to allow a eunuch in charge to leave the palace at will, even in front of the emperor. No matter how favored she is, if she doesn't get permission, the concubine has no right to let the eunuch leave the palace to do things. Of course, if he sneaks out, it's another matter.
"Of course your Majesty knows about it!" In fact, Wu Ji didn't know whether Li Yuan knew about this. It was just this morning that Concubine Yin De asked Wu Ji to come out to look for Lu Chen with her seal in hand, but now Lu Chen actually asked like this , Wu Ji just bit the bullet and Li Yuan knew, because he knew very well that if he didn't know whether Li Yuan knew about his leaving the palace, Lu Chen could kick him out without even a second thought.
"Do you have a seal?" Lu Chen heard Wu Ji's straightforward answer, and his expression didn't seem to be fake. However, Lu Chen still wanted to ask Wu Ji for a seal.
"This is the seal of Concubine De!" Wu Ji took out Concubine Yin's token from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Lu Chen winked at Liu Jing, and Liu Jing walked over directly, and the token was delivered to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen casually took the token in his hand and looked at it. Lu Chen was very puzzled, could this thing represent a person's identity?
After looking at it for a while, Lu Chen didn't find anything special about the token, that is, the words on it were different. Li Xiuning's token had the word "Ning" on it, while Concubine Yin De's token had the word "德" on it. Lu Chen couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the word "virtue". Even this woman had the nerve to use this word.
"Su Chang, you are from the inner palace, let's see if this thing is real or fake!" Lu Chen waved directly to Su Chang, Su Chang hurriedly came to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen casually handed over the seal The token was handed to Su Chang. Lu Chen didn't care, but Su Chang still took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.
Lu Chen's words directly made Wu Ji very angry, but he couldn't get angry yet. He could only clenched his fists and held his anger secretly. He secretly reminded himself that he must report this matter to his mother-in-law.
"Master, it's true!" Su Chang said after identifying it, nodding, and presenting the token to Lu Chen again with both hands.
"Okay!" Lu Chen took the token and threw it casually on the coffee table next to him. The "clang" sound made Wu Ji's heart twitch.
"Since Concubine De asked you to come, then, what do you want to do with me?" Lu Chen asked casually and indifferently, then picked up the tea cup beside him and took a sip.
"Empress De Fei likes the dressing table that Duke Lu gave to Princess Langya. She wants to ask Duke Lu to build one!" Wu Ji straightened up and looked at Lu Chen and said.
"It can't be built!" Lu Chen answered simply, and Lu Chen's answer immediately stunned Wu Ji. In Wu Ji's heart, no matter how arrogant and unruly you are, the Duke of Chang'an County, you are the most beloved by the current emperor. Don’t you dare not agree to my concubine’s request?
In the end, Lu Chen really refused very simply, so much so that Wu Ji even thought he heard wrongly! He looked at Lu Chen with a confused look on his face.
"Look at me, it's useless. If you can't build it, you can't build it!" Lu Chen waved his hands at Wu Ji as if to shoo away flies, with a look of rejection.
"If it's because of the materials, Empress Deqing Palace can come out!" Seeing Lu Chen's actions, Wu Ji confirmed that he had heard correctly and looked directly at Lu Chen.
"What's the matter? I'm very busy right now. I don't have time to build a dressing table. Didn't you see so many materials being transported outside?" Lu Chen said impatiently.
"If Mr. Lu insists on refusing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our family to explain to you, and it may not be good for Mr. Lu at that time!" Wu Ji looked directly at Lu Chen, with a cold light in his eyes and a threatening tone in his words. .
"Are you scaring me? Or are you threatening me?" Lu Chen slapped the table directly, and two cold lights shot out from his eyes. He looked directly at Wu Ji. Looking at Lu Chen's eyes, Wu Ji couldn't help but There was a chill in his heart and body, because in Lu Chen's eyes, Wu Ji not only felt the chill, but also felt the killing intent.
"Killing intent!" Wu Ji, who has been in charge of Deqing Palace for a long time, is no stranger to this look. It was Concubine Yin De's look when she was "dealing with" the disobedient chamberlains and maids. Yes, he was familiar with this look, but Wu Ji found it incredible that a county official dared to look like this at him, the eunuch in charge.
"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Lu Chen grinned at Wu Ji, "Do you believe it or not, even if I kill you, Deqing Palace will just change its head?" Lu Chen looked at Wu Ji contemptuously. , "I hate it when others use their power to oppress others, and I'm not afraid of that either! Get out!" Lu Chen waved his hand directly at Wu Ji, then picked up the tea cup.
It was very clear that "bringing tea to see off the guests", Wu Ji did not dare to say anything to Lu Chen, but secretly decided to tell Concubine Yin De about this matter. The most important thing about Lu Chen's failure to give his mother-in-law face was that he felt This is the biggest humiliation since becoming the head of Deqing Palace. We must not let this Chang'an County Duke get away with it!
"In that case! Let's say goodbye!" Wu Ji didn't say anything else, and directly raised his hands to Lu Chen. After saying these words, he turned around and left the front hall without looking back.
"It ruined my good mood!" Looking at Wu Ji's leaving figure, Lu Chen said coldly. Just now, Lu Chen was very excited about making pencils, but because of Wu Ji's arrival, he immediately became unhappy. .
"He's just a eunuch. Please don't get angry because of him!" Seeing Lu Chen's unhappy expression, Su Chang hurried over to comfort him.
"You are also eunuchs, so Chang Bao and Lin Lang are good. Why do these guys like to fight against others?" Lu Chen couldn't help but complain.
Hearing Lu Chen's complaints, Su Chang just smiled but said nothing. However, Su Chang secretly complained in her heart: "That Chang Bao has been following Li Yuan all the time. He is the governor of the palace! His power sometimes He's bigger than those concubines and princesses! As for Lin Lang, since he became friends with Lu Chen, who in the palace can't give him three points of respect?"
"Why are you laughing! Is my father wrong?" Lu Chen looked at the smiling Su Chang and couldn't help but continue.
"You must be, sir! It's just that these people are different. We can't all be the same!" Su Chang winked at Liu Jing and glanced at the tea cup. Liu Jing hurriedly refilled Lu Chen's tea.
"You two..." This scene was directly seen by Lu Chen. Lu Chen pointed directly at Su Chang and then at Liu Jing with a smirk on his face.
