The walls of the palace are very high, blocking the already weak sunlight. The corridor leading to the Yangxin Hall is very long, and the wind blowing through the hall is like a dark wind, making Kong Fang shiver.
He wondered whether Su Fufeng had taken him the wrong way.
But he didn't dare ask.
Because before leaving, Su Fufeng repeatedly warned him to be careful in his words and deeds in the palace, not to take an extra step, not to say an extra word, and not to ask questions when he encountered something he didn't understand.
So he could only shrink his neck, put his hands in his sleeves, and follow Su Fufeng.
After walking for about half an hour, I finally saw the door number of Yangxin Hall. He blew his tears and threw them on the ground. The eunuch who was leading the way looked back at him when he heard the commotion, flicked the fly whisk in his hand and was about to get angry.
Su Fufeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Nian is ridiculous. Kong Zhixian is a rough boy from the countryside, and it is his first time entering the palace. He really doesn't understand the etiquette. It is also his fault that he was negligent and did not teach him the rules in the palace carefully. Please treat him with care!" "
Kong Fangsheng sucked back the remaining mucus.
The look in the old eunuch's eyes is too scary, and he's very sinister, so it's better not to mess with him.
Eunuch Nian snorted lightly and turned around.
Su Fufeng quickly signaled to follow. Before they finished climbing the steps, they heard a childish voice, "Eunuch Nian, are they all here?"
Eunuch Nian, who just had a more impressive aura than the top brother in the workplace, instantly changed into a servant's face and responded sharply: "Back to the emperor, Prime Minister Su and Baoding Magistrate Tang Bolong, Qinghe County Magistrate Kong Fang, the old slave has been brought."
Kong Fang looked up and saw a little kid who was about the same age as Fang Shibo.
Although he may be small, he has a somewhat imperial aura. He must be the young emperor Jiaqing of the Daxing Dynasty.
"Veteran Su Fufeng bows to the Emperor!" Su Fufeng cupped his fists and bowed. He was the prime minister and was already old. The young emperor exempted him from kneeling down, but Kong Fang and Tang Bolong did not enjoy this benefit.
They could only kneel down.
Although he was only kneeling on one leg, Kong Fang was very unaccustomed to it, so his movements were inevitably stiff and his face was expressionless.
Eunuch Nian stared at him with cold eyes, like a lone wolf staring at a lamb. Kong Fang was very helpless. I had no grievances against him. Could it be that he wanted to fight me to death just because he blew his nose just now?
Is this palace your home?
You're not even a migrant worker here, you're just a castrated watchdog at best!
What about you?
Stepping into the threshold of Yangxin Hall, a warm wind blew in his face, and Kong Fang felt a sense of suffocation. The little emperor smiled and patted him, "You don't know why Yangxin Palace is so warm, right?"
Kong Fang was ashamed.
He thought about floor heating, but there was no natural gas in the Daxing Dynasty. If the people in the north used firewood to burn the kang, the Yangxin Hall would be so big that it would not be able to burn it.
Emperor Jiaqing stamped his foot on the floor, "Let me tell you, the bottom is empty and filled with red-hot charcoal. In order to keep the Yangxin Hall warm enough without being too hot, ten eunuchs are needed to control the heat."
Rich people are awesome!
Kong Fang admired.
What is awesome?
The little emperor raised his head, like a good boy with a mind full of a hundred thousand reasons. Kong Fang suddenly broke into a cold sweat, he had forgotten that this was the palace again.
The person he was facing was the most powerful brat in the world.
what to do?
He looked at the little emperor's thirsty eyes for knowledge, and he wanted to hit the wall. Eunuch Nian coughed lightly, and the sound filled Kong Fang's ears, and there was a faint hint of murderous intent.
What the hell...
He just thought that if the old loser dared to go to Qinghe, he would guarantee that he would be shot to death with a gun.
But what he has to solve now is how to explain to the little emperor what "awesome" means.
He licked his lips and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, awesome is the dialect of Qinghe County. It means very powerful and good. It's a country dialect. Don't dirty the emperor's ears, or you won't listen."
"Since it is a country dialect, why are you talking nonsense in front of the emperor? Your Majesty..."
Eunuch Nian flicked his fly whisk and scolded him sharply.
He wanted to say that the emperor was still young and easy to learn bad things. But he didn't have the guts to continue. After all, no matter how young the emperor was, he was still an emperor, and it was not his turn to be a slave.
However, he took note of Kong Fang's account carefully.
Kong Fang also said that he was a dog.
I went out today without looking at the almanac, and met an old gelded dog that bites people.
But the little emperor clapped his hands and applauded, this word was fresh, domineering, and awesome!
Kong Fang stroked his forehead.
The naughty kid can't do anything, and he is the first in learning to speak!
Su Fufeng remained silent the whole time. He knew that Kong Fang's words were inappropriate, but the water he had thrown out by his words could not be taken back.
The little emperor has a childlike innocence, so there should be no problem.
The problem is my father-in-law.
This old eunuch is actually the Empress Dowager's employee. On the surface, he takes care of the little emperor's daily life. In fact, secretly, he not only supervises the little emperor, but also supervises the relationship between the officials and the little emperor.
Things on the surface are easy to deal with, but secretly, you can probably only resort to tricks.
In his heart, he actually complained about Kong Fang. He had IQ but no emotional intelligence. In officialdom, this flaw is very dangerous.
Tang Bolong did not dare to say a word the whole time.
Not only did he dare not say a word, but the cold sweat on his back had wet his underwear. It was wet, cold, and very uncomfortable.
The little emperor was also a brat, so he saw that the three visitors were not feeling natural, and the culprit was Eunuch Nian, whom he also hated, so he tried to get rid of him.
"Eunuch Nian, please go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to see if the regulations for the Kong Zhixian and Tang Zhifu to accompany me to celebrate the New Year have been drawn up. This is a grand event that has never happened in the hundred years since the founding of the Daxing Dynasty. I am worried that those eunuchs will mess up things."
Father-in-law Nian wanted to refuse in his heart.
Because the affairs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies are not under his control.
But the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed.
Furthermore, the young emperor was right. It was indeed unprecedented for the Daxing Dynasty to invite local officials to the capital for the Chinese New Year. If the little emperor hadn't begged, if the queen mother hadn't pampered the little emperor, she would never have set this precedent.
If those boys from the Supervisor of Ceremonies mess up something, he won't be held accountable, but he will feel very uncomfortable.
This is the fate of slaves.
When the master is happy, the slave's life becomes easier.
If the master is unhappy, as a slave, sometimes breathing is wrong.
So he bowed his head and retreated.
As soon as he left, Yangxin Hall suddenly became energetic. The little emperor took Kong Fang's hand and said, "Come, sit next to me."
Nian's father-in-law was away, so he even changed his name.
Don’t talk about me, talk about me.
Su Fufeng gently stroked his forehead. I am the prime minister of the current dynasty. Your Majesty, you are so casual, but it goes against the ancestral rules! Jiaqing seemed to be able to read minds. As soon as Su Fufeng had an idea, he said:
"Master Su, this is not the time for a court meeting. Yangxin Palace is my palace. You don't have to be formal. It would be more casual to be more intimate. Are you right?"
ah……
Su Fufeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, everything the emperor said was right!
That's right.
