Chapter 205 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 8

In the middle of April, the birthday of the empress dowager in the palace was approaching, and the emperor specially held a holy birthday celebration for the excitement of the empress dowager's birthday, preparing to celebrate it.

As the descendant of her natal family that the Empress Dowager valued, Yan Ying naturally wanted to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday.

After Yan Ying arrived at the palace in a carriage, some palace servants personally led them to the Palace of Compassion.

The original owner had entered the palace several times when she was a concubine, and knew the rules of the palace well. Under the watchful eyes of all the concubines, Yan Ying walked up to the queen mother, knelt down and offered her birthday gift: "My daughter, give the queen mother The empress celebrates her birthday, the green tree is a thousand-year-old tree, and the staff walks towards the spring and autumn;

The Empress Dowager accepted the birthday gift, opened it, and found that it was actually a painting, and the kind old man in the painting was her. This painting was almost [-]% similar to the real person, which shows the artist's superb craftsmanship.

Yan Ying was originally a niece of her natal family, and she brought her own family filter. Now that she presented such a good painting, the Queen Mother was even happier.

"Yingying, get up quickly and come to Ai's house"

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Yan Ying stood up from the ground in a gentle manner, with a gentle smile on her lips, walked to the Empress Dowager's side like an ancient lady, and was led by her to sit beside her.

The queen mother held the painting in one hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "Aijia knew that you were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before, but I didn't expect that the painting skills are so good. Even the hair of the drawn person can be clearly seen. Come on, you all have a look, like Not like Aijia?"

When the painting was passed on to the queen, the queen picked it up and looked at it, nodded in praise and said: "Miss Yan San's talent is indeed unmatched by ordinary women."

Concubine Rong took the portrait from the Queen's hand. She said she took it, but she snatched it. After seeing the painting, she immediately praised: "Everyone in the world knows that girls from the Yan family are well-bred. This third girl just got a book half a month ago. The leader of art, now this painting is better than Jin'er, it is really talented and beautiful."

After hearing this, Yan Ying lowered her eyes, lowered her tone and said shyly: "It's just a small trick, and it can't be praised by the empress and the imperial concubine."

After hearing Yan Ying's words, the queen nodded in satisfaction. The third girl Yan was talented, but she was not arrogant, but humble and not arrogant. She was just right for her to be named the third prince.

The imperial concubine was not as dignified and majestic as the empress, she walked up to the empress dowager and Yan Ying and said, "Empress dowager, your girl is so well-raised, but she can compare to all the girls in the world, why don't we kiss each other more?"

Before the imperial concubine could finish her words, the empress at the side immediately cut her off: "The empress dowager loves the younger generation, why don't you promise her to Qian'er as a concubine?"

As soon as the queen's words fell, the noble concubine's face immediately stiffened. After the empress dowager thought for a moment, Yingying had been a concubine for two terms, and she had a special status: "This matter can't be rushed, we have to see what the emperor wants."

The imperial concubine was still nervous about whether the queen mother would directly make a decision, but now she breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to tell jokes to make the queen mother happy, but she didn't mention Yan Ying's matter at all.

Yan Ying, who was stared at by the empress and the imperial concubine at the same time and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, could only keep smiling, being an elegant wooden beauty, turning a blind eye to those secretly scrutinizing her.

Yan Ying's paintings were put into the treasury by the queen mother. The emperor held a banquet in the front hall and invited the queen mother to come, but the queen mother was old and looked tired, so she didn't go. The queen, the concubine and others all left.

The queen mother said to Yan Ying: "Yingying, these days, you should live in the palace and accompany Ai's family for a while."

Yan Ying nodded pleasingly with lowered eyebrows: "Yes, Queen Mother"

The sky outside had just darkened, it should be around eight o'clock in the evening, the queen mother saw someone for a day today, and she went to bed early, Yan Ying followed Aunt Ruan, who was serving by the queen mother of the Palace of Compassion, to the side hall, everything was ready for bed appropriate.

Yan Ying didn't feel sleepy at all. After seeking Aunt Ruan's consent, she took Aunt Ruan and Yunlu for a walk outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Most of the people in the palace went to the banquet in the front hall. There are very few people here.

Yan Ying was better at seeing and hearing than the other people. After wandering for half an hour, she met a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the garden. Yan Ying turned a corner and did not disturb them.

As they walked, they came to the garden near the front hall. Yan Ying saw three eunuchs working together behind the rockery to push one eunuch into the water in the moonlight.

One of the eunuchs said in soft words: "I don't even look at what a lowly thing you are, and you dare to join the emperor. Even if there is a vacancy for the servants around the emperor, it is mine. Do you know who our family is, Feng?" Father-in-law Bao's godson, I will let you know what will happen to you if you offend our family."

The eunuch who was held down kept struggling, and the sound of the water was getting louder. The feminine eunuch immediately said: "Hold him down quickly, in this palace, it's not a big deal that there is no one in silence."

After Yan Ying heard Feng Bao's words, she narrowed her eyes, then walked over, and said righteously: "Stop"

Seeing Yan Ying, the feminine eunuch bowed forward and said, "Excuse me for my clumsy eyes, I don't know which nobleman you are?"

Aunt Ruan stepped forward and said: "This is the niece of the Empress Dowager of the Palace of Compassion, the third daughter of the Yan family."

After Yin Rou Tai listened, all the tension on her face was wiped off, and she said: "So it's Aunt Ruan from the Palace of Compassionate Ning, this little eunuch has damaged one of His Majesty's treasures, and the three servants are teaching him a lesson."

It's not uncommon to bully the weak and fear the strong in the palace. Aunt Ruan has long seen it, and she smiled: "It turns out that this little eunuch did something wrong. Miss Yan is kind-hearted, and she wants to save his life when she encounters it. The three father-in-laws give me face, please forgive him."

"Since Aunt Ruan is pleading for mercy, then we will go back to the emperor's side to serve as errands." The three eunuchs walked away proudly.

Yan Ying waved away the people behind her, and then walked to the side of the little eunuch, "Hey, wake up"

The little eunuch kneeling on the edge of the pool struggled to open his eyes. He spat out a mouthful of sewage, and when he saw Yan Ying's skirt was stained with stains, he was like a frightened bird: "The slave accidentally stained your clothes, yes The fault of the slave, please spare the life of the slave."

Yan Ying shook her head, and walked behind the rockery: "It's okay, come and talk back"

The little eunuch stood up, even if he stood up straight, his body was still bent like a hunchback. His thin eunuch uniform was soaked through, and he followed behind, quietly raising his head to look at Yan Ying from time to time.

Arriving at a remote corner where no one was around, to make sure that Aunt Ruan could see her but not hear her, Yan Ying asked, "What's your name?"

The little eunuch lowered his head: "My slave, Xiao Jingzi, is serving in the imperial study."

Yan Ying looked into his eyes: "May I ask what your full name is?"

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, then his lips twitched: "The slave doesn't remember."

He only remembered that his surname was Jing. When he was seven years old, there were many brothers and sisters in his family, and he was the least favored one. His parents said they would take him to eat candied haws, but he followed his father away, and then he was sold to the palace to purify himself. Became a eunuch.

Life in the palace was really hard. He was clever and able to endure hardships. Fortunately, he was assigned to the front hall and entered the imperial study to serve him. However, the eunuchs in the imperial study were all gangsters. I have suffered a lot, and I have to work hard to survive until now.

Yan Ying said, "Since I don't remember, let me give you a name, Jing Ming, tomorrow's Ming."

Before the little eunuch was surprised for a second, he heard the nobleman in front of him ask: "To live in the palace, what wish do you have?"

Xiao Jingzi raised his head, his eyes were a little red: "I just want to live a good life and live like a human being. One day I will go out of the palace to see the conscientious couple and ask them why they sold me out."

Yan Ying was stunned, and continued to ask: "Have you ever killed anyone in the palace?"

Xiao Jingzi shook his head: "I don't have any."

Yan Ying looked at him, and said in a bewitching tone: "Those three eunuchs wanted to kill you, don't you want to take revenge back? They have backers, don't you want to have them? They can live unscrupulously, you Do you have to bow your knees?"

Xiao Jingzi looked at her: "I hate them, but I dare not think so."

But Yan Ying leaned closer to him and said seductively: "Then from now on, you have to start thinking about it, for example, the popular manager Feng Bao who is next to His Majesty, under one person, above ten thousand, decent, dignified, It's all there, the dogs under him are so arrogant and domineering, no one in this palace wants to curry favor with him, does he count as living a human life?"

It has to be said that Yan Ying's words touched a chord in Xiao Jingzi's mind. The bullying and beatings he had endured for many years, the indelible scars carved on his body, and the tortured mentality that had long since become sickly.

Yes, he used to spend his days in a muddle, but now he suddenly has a goal to strive for. When his sleeping ambition was awakened, his heart was burning with anger. He didn't want to be bullied or suppressed anymore.

He wants to be Feng Bao, a Feng Bao who is under one man and above ten thousand people!

Yan Ying watched his expression change with satisfaction, and then poured a basin of cold water on his heart: "Just having ideas is not enough, so do you know how to become Feng Bao?"

Xiao Jingzi shook his head: "I don't know, please teach me!"

Yan Ying walked to his side and lowered her voice, "There is a price for my teaching, it depends on whether you can afford it."

Aunt Ruan behind the rockery could only see the heads of Miss Yan and the little eunuch, and couldn't help but want to go forward, but Yunlu grabbed her arm: "Aunt Ruan, our lady is the most kind-hearted, she Maybe you are listening to the little eunuch's poor story, so don't disturb him, otherwise, the lady will be angry."

Xiao Jingzi struggled for a moment, and finally became determined. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times like the little eunuchs in the imperial study who recognized his godfather: "From now on, Jingming is willing to serve you as my master." , never betray"

Yan Ying smiled slowly: "Okay, get up, you have suffered tonight, go back and change your clothes, eat something, come to the Compassion Palace tomorrow to thank you, remember, my name is Yan Ying!"

After Yan Ying left, Jing Ming stood there and watched Yan Ying's leaving back for a long time.

After Yan Ying returned to the Compassionate Ning Palace, she soaked in the bathtub full of flowers, distractedly thinking about what happened today, the unclear attitudes of the emperor and the queen mother, the dispute between the queen and the concubine, and the little eunuch Jing Ming.

On the second day, Yan Ying accompanied the Queen Mother to have breakfast, and then heard Yun Lu report: "Xiao Jingzi came to thank you."

Aunt Ruan had already reported what happened last night to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager thought of Yan Ying's kindness, so she decided to give Xiao Jingzi some rewards.

In the side hall, after Xiao Jingzi came in, Yan Ying gave Yun Lu a wink and told her to guard the door.

"Slave Xiao Jingzi thanks Miss Yan for saving her life"

Yan Yingxu helped him up: "Get up, can you write?"

Xiao Jingzi nodded: "Yes, there is an old eunuch who serves pen and ink in the palace who taught me how to read."

Yan Ying pointed to the pen and ink on the side, and wrote on the paper: "Do you know those eunuchs who are favored by the emperor?"

After reading it, Xiao Jingzi wrote: "Feng Bao, the chief eunuch, has a personal relationship with Concubine Rong, and Ma Cheng, the chief eunuch, belongs to the empress. Below is the list of Feng Bao and Ma Cheng's subordinates."

After watching it, Yan Ying couldn't help thinking deeply, a bold plan to bring Jing Ming closer to the emperor slowly took shape in her mind.
