Zhuo Qihua

Zhang Xian brought a group of palace people to Jinse Palace, walked to the door and took a look, Zhang Xian let out a cry, and quickly stepped into Jinse Palace.

"Director Zhang."

Chang Jing, who was in charge of the cane punishment, hurried forward, Zhang Xian pointed to the eunuch who was beaten, and asked, "What's going on?" This Zhuo Ya talent moved in within a day, right?

Chang Jing bowed and said, "Boss Zhang, this man eavesdropped on Master's words and was caught by Master on the spot."

Zhang Xian's face turned dark all of a sudden.The eunuch who was beaten was gagged, but still desperately begged for mercy, saying that he was just delivering tea and not eavesdropping.Zhang Xian didn't ask anything, just said: "It seems that the servants sent by the Limaidang are not good. They will be eavesdropping on the master's words within less than a day after arriving at the master's side." Zhang Xian immediately changed the subject, "Chang Jing, where is your master? His Majesty ordered me to deliver the rewards, as well as the pickers."

Chang Jing said respectfully: "Master is in the East Pavilion. It's a coincidence that Mr. Zhang came here. Master just got up. Will you take me there?"

Zhang Xian smiled and followed Chang Jing to see Zhuo Ya.I was surprised in my heart, this Zhuoya person is not easy to bully.Before leaving, Zhang Xian said to the two eunuchs behind him who seemed to be powerful and powerful: "You two are here to watch. You can't miss a board. After the beating, send him back to the Limaidang. The steward of the maidservant's hall should be well trained."

Chang Jing didn't say that the master was supposed to be sent to Yeting according to the rules.Eunuch Zhang must have his reasons for saying this.Then, Zhang Xian followed Chang Jing away.The reason why Zhang Xian did this was to beat up the stewards of the Libitang, and also to give some people a warning.However, the other party didn't ask about this intention, so Zhang Xian didn't explain it.

Emperor Yong'an knew that Zhuo Ji might be sleeping in the morning, so he didn't send Zhang Xian.Zhuo Ji moved to Jinse Palace, so Emperor Yong'an naturally wanted to show something.From famous paintings, antiques and rare treasures, down to bowls, incense, jewelry, silk and satin, Emperor Yong'an rewarded all the accessories that the lord of a palace should have.Not only that, Emperor Yong'an also ordered Li Jintang to make clothes for Zhuo Ji.The person who came to Lijintang was Wang Bao's counterpart, Aunt Huayuexi who was acquainted with Zhuo Ji.Food is forbidden in the palace, but because of Zhuo Ji's relationship, Emperor Yong'an turned a blind eye to the private relationship between Hua Yuexi and Wang Bao. After all, Hua Yuexi is old, and Emperor Yong'an It is also impossible to look up to her.Seeing Zhuo Ji, Hua Yuexi was very happy, her eyes were wet, and she felt that Zhuo Ji had come through all hardships.Zhuo Ji was also very happy to see Hua Yuexi.When Hua Yuexi personally measured Zhuo Ji's size, the two kept chatting.

Huayuexi left after measuring the size, Zhang Xian said: "Men Zhuoya, if you are not satisfied with the palace servants sent by Limaidang, you can choose the ones you are used to."

Zhuo Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for reminding me. When I was in the West Third Hospital, thanks to a few people who took care of me, my clothes in the West Third Hospital were also made by Aunt Hua with the extra waste. Without their help, I couldn't be so relaxed in the past three years."

Zhang Xian was guilty, although he didn't know why he was guilty, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhuo Ya, you can keep four palace maids, eunuchs as you like. But these people's daily expenses are included in the calculation. Those in your own palace. The palace pickers rewarded by His Majesty don’t count.”

Zhuo Ji nodded and asked: "Then can I call Wang Bao from Lishantang? He is also a steward in Lishantang."

Zhang Xian immediately explained: "Men Zhuoya, you are the most favored lord in the palace, even if it is just an eunuch without rank, it is better to be by your side than to be a steward in the Lishantang. There are dozens of stewards, big and small, if you can be the steward by your side, even the head of the palace department will be envious."

Zhuo Ji: "Then how should I transfer them here?"

Zhang Xian personally explained, saving Zhuo Ji a lot of trouble.Who knows the rules and regulations in the palace better than Zhang Xian?Even the emperor's preferences, I'm afraid no one knows better than Zhang Xian.

When Zhang Xian left, he sent all the palace servants sent by the maidservant hall for Zhuo Ji, including the eunuch who was beaten to death, back to the maidservant hall.On Zhang Xian's body, there was a bottle of earthy yellow medicine powder and a bottle of milky white ointment.

After Zhuo Ji left the West Third Hospital, Wang Bao's mood was very complicated.After all, that person still failed to hide his brilliance, and was favored by His Majesty, and he was very happy for that person.But after thinking about it, he was very disappointed again. From now on, that person will be the noble lord of the palace. A person like him may never have the chance to see that person again.In the end, before Wang Bao was lost, he was told by his immediate superior with envy and jealousy that he was chosen by the noble lord of Jinse Palace to go to Jinse Palace.Wang Bao was dumbfounded immediately, this huge stuffed pie directly knocked him unconscious.

Emperor Yong'an held the hemostatic medicine brought back by Zhang Xian in his hand, and said in his mouth: "It seems that this Zhuoya man of mine is not as kind and harmless as he appears..." He must have stood up for Yanxuan at the beginning , is also purposeful.

Having benefited greatly, Zhang Xian immediately said good things to Zhuo Ji: "Long live, Zhuo Ya people have such a temper, Wan live, can't you worry less?"

Emperor Yong'an looked over, and Zhang Xian said: "Although Zhuoya is protected by you, Wansui, if he is soft-tempered and easy to be bullied, he must worry about you, Wansui. Not to mention, in case Zhuoya If the elegant people say something important in the house, others will easily listen to it, and if it is light, it will bring disaster to the Zhuo Ya people. If it is serious, it may ruin your big business, Long Live."

Emperor Yong'an smiled: "What's the benefit of accepting Jinse Palace?"

Zhang Xian smiled, and took out a medicine bottle from his arms: "When the servant left, the Zhuoya people gave the servant a bottle of 'cooling ointment'."

"Cooling ointment? Why is he giving you this? This summer is almost over."

Zhang Xian said cryptically: "People from Zhuoya specially made it for Chang Jing who was beside him. When the servant left, Zhuoya asked Chang Jing to give the servant a bottle, saying that the servant asked Chang Jing to ask for it when the servant ran out."

Emperor Yong'an understood that this must be something exclusively for eunuchs, so he was no longer interested, and instead asked: "He asked you to give this to Zhen, didn't he ask for any reward?"

Zhang Xian stuffed the "Qingliang Ointment" back into his sleeve like a baby, and said: "Zhuoya people said thank you Long Live for your reward, and asked this servant to give this to you. Zhuoya people said that this medicine is called 'Qubaiyao', and it is not easy to prepare. Zhuoya Yaren only has this insurance, he wants you to use it carefully and don't waste it."

Emperor Yong'an looked at the medicine bottle in his hand with an unpredictable expression, Zhang Xian asked curiously: "Long live, why don't you ask Zhuoya directly for the formula of this medicine?"

Emperor Yong'an snorted coldly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to give him the reward he wants."

"..." Zhang Xian covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Did he say nothing else?"

"The people from Zhuoya said thank you, Long Live, for your reward. The people from Zhuo Ya said that he had never dabbled in antique calligraphy and painting, and said, Long Live, that you don't need to reward them in the future. He also said, Long Live, that the imperial chef you rewarded cooks delicious dishes."

Emperor Yong'an snorted again: "He is quite easy to satisfy." Yu Xi Tuandui.

Zhang Xian covered his mouth and smiled again.Emperor Yong'an stood up: "I'm going to Shoukang Palace."

"Yes!"

The queen mother has been in poor health since she passed out that day, and she is still lying on the bed.Emperor Yong'an would visit his mother every day and talk with her.After stepping away from the screen, Emperor Yong'an told the Queen Mother about the "big event" that happened in the palace from yesterday to now, and the Queen Mother said puzzledly: "You treat him so favorably, I'm afraid it will cause fear in all the palaces."

Emperor Yong'an said: "Rather than letting people come to test them, it is better to let them be jealous. The more different I treat him, the safer he is. At least on the surface, no one dares to trouble him. I sent two Wusi to Jinse Palace, as long as he has no dissatisfaction with me and Mata country, I am willing to give him more grace."

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh: "If it wasn't for Mrs. Cheng... He should have come to your side three years ago."

"Mother, don't think about Mrs. Cheng anymore. It's not too late now. To your son, your body is more important than anything else."

The queen mother patted the emperor's hand and said: "How do you want to pamper him? I don't want to say too much, but don't neglect the other palaces. Otherwise, you will really put him on the target."

"After a while, the child will go to the palaces, and the child will 'spoil' him for a few days."

"Hehe..." The emperor's mischievousness once in a while caused the queen mother to show a long-lost smile, and then the queen mother said: "The case of the Cheng family involves several people in the palace. Now that the three major droughts have eased, the matter of the draft, the queen Let the Ministry of Households start the preparations. The entry of a new beautiful woman and Duanmu can also attract the attention of the palaces to Zhuo Ji. As for the person sent by the Zhuo family, you have already chosen one, there is absolutely no reason and you must Choose another one. If you like it, keep it. If you don’t like it, let it go.”

Emperor Yong'an nodded and said: "Just listen to mother."

When Zhuo Wentai came back from outside, he was immediately called in front of his father Zhuo Yizhi.Zhuo Yizhi's wife Jiang, and Zhuo Wentai's wife Lai were waiting there anxiously.As soon as Zhuo Wentai came in, he said happily: "Father! Mother! I found out. Sanmao was indeed conferred the title of elegant man, and was bestowed by His Majesty on Jinse Palace, the main palace!"

"Great!" Zhuo Yizhi patted the table and stood up, overjoyed, "Three years! He finally caught His Majesty's eyes!"

Jiang Shi was also very happy, Lai Shi was happy, but there was a little bit of reluctance in his smile.Zhuo Yizhi asked: "Can you find out how he was favored by His Majesty?"

Zhuo Wentai said: "It is said that His Majesty accidentally passed by the West Third Courtyard at night, and happened to see him outside enjoying the cool. Sanmu is smart, as long as he is given the opportunity, he will naturally attract His Majesty's attention. No, he will be favored Is it? His Majesty has given him the palace points!"

"Huh?!" Zhuo Yizhi laughed a few times, "My Zhuo family's happy life is here! Haha, hahaha..."

Lai's smile became more and more unbearable, and she said: "Father, Sanguo is a gentleman now, and His Majesty has given you the palace points, so should we send some gifts into the palace? After all, for three years, there is no one in the family. In case he feels uncomfortable..."

Lai's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Zhuo Yizhi and Zhuo Wentai who were in ecstasy.When Zhuo Ji entered the palace, he offended concubine Hui (the empress) and was imprisoned in the West Third Court. Zhuo's family immediately abandoned him.In the past three years, Zhuo's family not only did not find a way to visit him in the palace, but also did not help him.Zhuo Yizhi said: "No matter what, we are all his relatives. There is no overnight feud between relatives. Tomorrow I will invite the Holy Majesty to visit him in the palace."

"Father, I'll go with you."

Zhuo Yizhi: "You can't. You are just an official from the fifth grade. Although Sanguo is a palace official, his status is still elegant, and he is not allowed to see his family according to the rules. When I go to see him, it depends on His Majesty's opinion." Is he really that fond of it?"

Zhuo Wentai sighed.

Zhuo Yizhi said confidently: "Three major droughts have been resolved, and the draft will be held in the next year at the latest. At that time, Shuzhen will enter the palace again. With Shuzhen's appearance and talent, and with the support of Sanmo, my Zhuo family will be re-established in Rongsheng The day is just around the corner!"

"Yes!" Zhuo Wentai also seemed to have seen that day.

Six eunuchs from Lishantang, three eunuchs from West Third Courtyard, and four maids from Lijintang were selected by Zhuo Ji as palace servants of Jinse Palace.Among the six eunuchs in Lishantang were Wang Bao and his apprentice Xiao Linzi, and the other four were also eunuchs under Wang Bao's subordinates.The eunuchs of the West Third Academy are Yuan Xiu, the former steward of the West Third Academy, and his two personal eunuchs.The four maids in Lijintang are Hua Yuexi and her three lovers.These people are also familiar with Zhuo Ji.

Standing in front of his new master, Wang Bao smiled very guilty.Zhuo Ji sat on the rocking chair, the smile on his face made Wang Bao even more guilty.Swinging the rocking chair, Zhuo Ji was heartbroken: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, I thought you loved me very much, but in the blink of an eye you sold me."

Wang Bao hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, this servant was also forced. Didn't this servant ask Xiao Linzi to remind you? Master, you are so smart, you can definitely guess what's going on."

The others covered their mouths and snickered, but even Xiao Linzi didn't intercede with Master.Zhuo Ji was just joking, trying to scare Wang Bao.Wang Bao asked Xiao Linzi to remind him that he was already risking his beheading.After scaring Wang Bao, Zhuo Ji stood up and said, "Everyone has been kind to me since I entered the palace."

"Master, you are joking. It is the master that you are kind to the servants." Everyone said in unison.

Zhuo Ji said: "Now that I have entered Jinse Palace, I can no longer stay out of everything like before. You are people I trust, and I hope that our mutual trust can last forever."

Everyone immediately swore to be loyal to the master.It would be foolish to betray such a promising master.Wang Bao was the oldest, and Zhuo Ji appointed him to be the head eunuch of Jinse Palace.Yuan Xiu, the former head of the West Third Academy, served as the deputy head of the eunuch.Hua Yuexi is the head maid.The number of maids in the palace is small, so the steward only needs to arrange one.Xiaohui and Chang Jing were also Zhuo Ji's personal court ladies and personal eunuchs.No one can grab these two positions.With the manager, the eunuchs and maids of Jinse Palace will be arranged and managed, and Zhuo Ji's side will be safer.

The Caizhang Palace people brought by Zhang Xian were all arranged in the backyard, and they were not allowed to go to the front yard for anything, let alone the main palace of Jinse Palace.Zhang Xian specially entrusted Zhuo Ji's two Martial Temples to enjoy the treatment of the head managers. They lived in the front yard with Wang Bao and the others, and they were on duty at the gate of the main palace on weekdays.These two martial arts temples were only loyal to the emperor, Zhuo Ji felt it didn't matter.It would be strange if Emperor Yong'an didn't put someone beside him.

In the evening, Chang Jing whispered something in the master's ear with a strange expression. Zhuo Ji blinked and said, "Come if you want to. You see how to prepare."

Chang Jing said worriedly: "Master, didn't you say that His Majesty won't call you to bed?"

Zhuo Ji smiled: "Two people lying on the bed can also cover the quilt and just chat."

"..."

Emperor Yong'an came over after dinner, he didn't call Zhuo Ji to go to Fengtian Hall to sleep, but came to Jinse Palace.If Zhuo Ji went to Fengtian Hall to "serve the bed", he could only go to the ear room to rest after finishing.Zhuo Ji also finished his meal and waited in the room.As soon as Emperor Yong'an came in, he saw Zhuo Ji wearing the pajamas he wore when going to bed, he raised his eyebrows: "Why, have you been waiting for me?"

Zhuo Ji said respectfully: "Your Majesty is coming, of course I will be waiting for you."

Emperor Yong'an looked him up and down: "I can't see where you are 'respecting'." Zhuo Ji's simplicity was not as good as that of a maid in the palace.Zhuo Ji said with a smile: "Your Majesty is interested in the talent of the minister, not the appearance, so the minister does not need to dress up." The relationship between the two is more of a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Emperor Yong'an allowed Zhuo Ji to be in front of him. Called himself "Chen".

Zhang Xian and Xiaohui looked at the two masters "talking and laughing happily" with a smirk.Chang Jing came over with tea, and Zhuo Ji served the tea to Emperor Yong'an himself with a wink.Zhang Xian winked, Xiaohui and Chang Jing followed him and retreated.
