Your Majesty

Chenshi is the busiest time in the imperial palace, because it is the time when all the palaces and halls meet with His Majesty, the whole imperial palace seems to be alive, even the cold palace is a little more lively.

And at this time, it happened to be the time when the imperial dining room brought in fresh vegetables.

The types of dishes in the imperial dining room seem to be the same as those in the outside, but those who know the inside know how many twists and turns there are.

The eunuch who went to buy things has always been a very small official. He is responsible for running errands, and then buys the most expensive dishes in the market, and then increases the price by [-]%. stay by yourself.

Although it was only a small amount, it was enough for these little eunuchs to fight for this position.

Every day, the person who delivers the car comes in at dawn and leaves at the end of the day, every day, rain or shine.

If there are any maids or eunuchs in the palace who need anything, they will ask the servant who pushes the cart to help them bring it back. The servant is called Zhang Cheng. Get rich.

Zhang Cheng did as usual that day, squinting his eyes and humming a little tune, he happily unloaded today's goods. The imperial cooks were picking and choosing his goods as usual, Zhang Cheng didn't care too much about those things. The adults bowed and bowed and made jokes, watching the little eunuch who came with him and others blushing, he didn't say a few words, the whole person was cheerful, like Maitreya Buddha, with a good temper, no one doesn't like it .

These royal chefs just complained casually, without any malice. Seeing him like this, it was not easy to say a few more words. They just asked the servants to move the things in and sort them out. Zhang Cheng's work for the day was considered complete.

The roof of the hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimmings, and the top of the flame bead is in the middle. There are eight iron chains around the top of the treasure, which are connected to the warriors.The two bright pillars in front of the hall each have a golden dragon coiled pillar, and the inside of the hall is a Sanskrit smallpox and a caisson that subdues the dragon.

The front and back corridors are in a hard mountain style. The roof of the hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimmings, and the main ridge is decorated with colorful glazed dragon patterns and flame beads.

Suddenly, a kind-hearted little imperial chef stopped him and said, "Here are some leftover vegetable skins, you can move them."

Zhang Cheng smiled and thanked the other party. His family raised several old sows, and every now and then he dragged some unwanted vegetables from the palace back to feed the pigs.Probably because this is the palace compound, it is indeed blessed by the real dragon emperor, even the pig that ate vegetables is a bit fatter than the other family's.

Zhang Cheng came out of the imperial dining room, and when he went out, he bumped into several palace daughters who were waiting for him.These women love to be pretty, and they always ask him to bring some exotic gadgets or hairpin rouge from outside the palace, and he is also very happy about it

Zhang Cheng felt that these women were very beautiful, with a kind of reserve that he liked.besides

After all these women finished chatting, there was only one woman named Yue'er who refused to leave.

This woman is a talented maid, with a shy personality, innocent and cute, and very soft-looking, but whenever she sees Zhang Cheng, she always refuses to talk to him, which makes Zhang Cheng bewildered.

At this time, Zhang Cheng saw that she was procrastinating and refused to come up, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter, girl?"

As a result, the woman's face turned red, and she actually stuffed a veil into his hand.

Zhang Cheng held the handkerchief in astonishment.

Yue'er was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at him, she just said, "My family, my family's birthday this year, if my brother doesn't mind it, I can wait for my family to leave the palace for a few years, choose a good day and auspicious day, and marry my family in?"

It turned out to be his admirer.

When the girl walked away, Zhang Cheng held the handkerchief in his hand, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He never thought that he would be favored by such a beautiful woman one day...

So when driving out of the small gate, Zhang Cheng was so out of his mind that he didn't even notice that someone sneaked into his car and hid in it.

When Zhang Cheng passed by the soldier guarding the gate, he gave him some silver taels as usual, but the other party saw Zhang Cheng's handkerchief that fell out and made fun of him. Zhang Cheng, a big man, turned red with shame.

Soon, Zhang Cheng returned home, and his mother came up to clean up the car for him, and packed off the cart of vegetable leaves, while praising Zhang Cheng for his ability, and the people in the palace were kind-hearted, Zhang Cheng just smiled when he heard it, and then I went to the water tank to scoop up a scoop of water to wash my hands and face, but I heard my mother ouching outside and yelling loudly.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly went out to look, but found a little eunuch curled up in his car, sleeping soundly.

. . . . . .

Zhang Cheng has delivered food to the palace for two years, but he has never seen anything, and he thinks he has gone through a lot of wind and waves.

When he saw this person, his thoughts suddenly changed, and he thought he had guessed the identity of the other person.

Zhang Cheng shook him awake and watched him slowly open his eyes.

Don't look at Zhang Cheng's good-tempered appearance, but he is really a wise and treacherous person. He looked at the other party and asked seriously, "Did the father-in-law sneak out?"

After saying this, the other party was really stiff, and Zhang Cheng knew that he had guessed right.

Zhang Cheng said again, "However, I heard that His Majesty is moody and the laws in the palace are extremely harsh. If you know that your father-in-law has escaped, will your father-in-law be afraid of losing his life?"

The other party was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly said in a hoarse voice fiercely, "Only you know about this matter, if you..."

After finishing speaking, the other party rushed over and grabbed Zhang Cheng's hand. His movements were very flexible, and he succeeded in an instant.It's a pity that his strength is too weak, Zhang Cheng doesn't care at all.

But Zhang Cheng was surprised when he looked at the little eunuch on his body.

He saw that the other party had a small cold face, round eyes, but with a hint of sternness, it looked vivid and beautiful.

Zhang Cheng used to secretly watch those concubines reciting poems or tasting tea in secret, and he also felt that he was a role that should not be played with like a fairy concubine, but now, he felt that compared with this face, he was a bit inferior.

Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered the rumors in the palace that he was fond of men, and seeing the little eunuch's escape behavior, he suddenly felt that he probably understood something.

Zhang Cheng followed the opponent's hands behind his back, shackled him, and said, "Why do you need to be so anxious, father-in-law? If I tip the news, I won't get any benefit. Why should I do it?"

The other party looked at him puzzled.

Zhang Chengdao, "I shouldn't wait for the people to discuss important matters in the palace. What I care about is only my own food and clothing. Can you understand what I mean?"

The little eunuch looked at him incomprehensibly.

Zhang Cheng sighed, and had no choice but to say bluntly, "Could it be that the father-in-law doesn't even understand the simplest way of bribing people in the palace? I don't know how the father-in-law survived for so many years."

The little eunuch suddenly realized.

The little eunuch touched his body for a long time, then took out a bright yellow brocade bag and put it in the opponent's hand.

This bag is magnificent in color, embroidered with four-clawed flying dragons, it is extraordinary at first glance.

Looking at the bright yellow object, Zhang Cheng knew that the other party was probably some kind of extraordinary person, his hands were shaking.

It took him a long time to open the bag tremblingly, but the contents of the bag fell out. When he saw it, he fell to the ground in fright.

This was actually a token of the forbidden army.

Zhang Cheng held the object and looked up, only to find that the little eunuch had long since disappeared.

. . . . . .

This is the time when the lanterns first come on.

The bazaar was no longer lively, the hawkers packed up their things early and went home, and the naughty boy was carried back by the ears of the parents, only a few sporadic passers-by were in a hurry, eager to leave.

Yan Huaiyu lingered here not for a short time, going back and forth at least three or four times, and even the proprietress of Tofu Xishi across the street looked at him strangely.

However, Yan Huaiyu was really speechless.

Not long ago, after Yan Huaiyu bribed the driver with a token, he walked out along the path.He didn't know the way here, so he walked casually, and happened to come to a fork in the road, only to find that this was the place where His Royal Highness the Regent brought him not long ago.

Yan Huaiyu thought about it, and felt that he only knew this way, so he might as well just walk here, and he could meet a tailor shop and buy some nice clothes for him to replace the ugly eunuch uniform.

It was a good plan, but he did forget about the experience of being kidnapped not long ago and the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent told him that there are good and bad things here, and things are easy to lose.So Yan Huaiyu walked no more than ten steps on this road, a poor child knocked him down, Yan Huaiyu, who was rarely soft-hearted, pulled him up, and after touching him, the money bag on his body was gone.

Yan Huaiyu thought he had lost it, and searched back and forth for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace. He was dizzy, his eyes were almost blinded, but he couldn't find it. His Highness looked for it.

From morning to night, Yan Huaiyu was so hungry, but there was nothing he could do.

People on the street thought that he was working for the palace, and they didn't dare to go up to talk to him. Seeing that he was wearing a eunuch uniform, they felt that he was incomplete, and they despised him very much.So Yan Huaiyu was obviously pale with hunger, but no one was willing to give him a steamed bun.

Yan Huaiyu was both hungry and tired, and for the first time felt that the outside of the palace was such a dangerous place, making it difficult for people to survive.

Yan Huaiyu watched those beggars walking around, and another one came to him, begging pitifully.

It was the first time Yan Huaiyu saw such a dirty and smelly person in the world, he was so shocked that he didn't even avoid the other person's hand pulling the corner of his clothes.

When Yan Huaiyu reacted, he kicked the beggar away.

The beggar was quite strong, so he was not kicked away by Yan Huaiyu's soft feet, but looked at Yan Huaiyu sympathetically, and said, "You must have been hungry all day, right?"

Yan Huaiyu didn't know how to refute it, because it was the truth.

The beggar said, "I didn't expect you to be more pitiful than me. I have already eaten one steamed bun today. I will give you the remaining one."

A dirty steamed bun was stuffed in Yan Huaiyu's hand.

Yan Huaiyu looked at the steamed buns, they were dirty and hard, and originally wanted to throw them away, but his hungry stomach made him reluctant.

He felt that it was embarrassing to eat a steamed bun from a beggar on the street, so he found a secret and tore off the skin of the thing. Yan Huaiyu was about to speak, but the stench came into his nostrils——Yan Huaiyu Then he was fainted by a rotten steamed bun.

. . . . . .

In the early morning of the next day, just as the door of Zhou Shangshu's house was opened, Zhou Lanqun packed his clothes and was about to go out, but kicked something soft for no reason.

Zhou Lanqun lowered his head, only to find that a young eunuch had fainted under the steps at the gate.
