C65

Unknowingly, it was already July, but Prince Bi still did not come to the imperial court, and he did not have the chance to look for Xiao Wanzi in Dew Palace. Hearing that Xiao Wanzi was going to accompany old nanny to guard the spirit, she would probably have to go for half a month. Furthermore, he had to take this opportunity to deliver a message to the prince's mansion. Xiao Wanzi was very clever, if there was anything he needed, he would definitely find an opportunity to notify Zhuang Li.

It was unknown why, but Zhuang Li actually felt extremely confident in that half-grown child.

In the end, she was still concerned about the Prince Bi. They had chatted and drank together, and although they did not meet each other often, there were times when it seemed like they had known each other for a long time. When she said those modern words, Prince Bi did not think that she was a strange person …

A friend like that would naturally give his heart to her. Otherwise, why would he not be like those people who would panic and grab her every time there was a little disturbance in the imperial court? Or, he would just cut off all contact with her and never come into contact with her again. He didn't know what kind of illness he had in Mongolia, but even after so long, he still hadn't gotten any better.

Speaking of which, it was also strange that the relationship between Zhuang Li and the Emperor had also become more subtle. She didn't know if it was because she had changed or because the Emperor had changed. She was already too familiar with tea and pastries, and there were no more mistakes. After everything was settled, even if she stayed in the tea house and guarded that small lantern, she would still be extremely happy.

The emperor's transformation seemed to be even greater, as he spoke more. Not only Zhuang Li, even the young eunuch who was on night watch had noticed this. His entire person became even warmer. If it was in the past, when Zhuang Li and Qing You were fighting in the backyard of the Imperial Study, Eunuch Li would definitely come out and teach them a good lesson, but today, Eunuch Li's joyful eyes swept over them, and did not look at them anymore. Zhuang Li had even once seen that there were too many court officials in the Imperial Study, and after serving tea, she went to the courtyard to play shuttlecock with Qing You. It was unknown when she walked away, but when she looked up, she saw that Eunuch Li had accompanied Huang Shan out to play with his Imperial Study.

When it came to the Eunuch Li, Zhuang Li felt that he was the most capable person in the entire Great Phoenix Empire. It was a piece of cake to guess that the little servant that was down there was actually more important that he could guess what the emperor was thinking.

Everyone knew how difficult it was to guess the Emperor's thoughts. He didn't say much, and his expression wasn't rich enough. It was not difficult to guess his displeasure, because he, Icy Cold Ice, liked to keep a straight face. Even if they saw him on a daily basis, they would still feel scared. However, guessing him happy was an extremely hard thing to do. Many people thought that his happy appearance was similar to his unhappy appearance … It was extremely difficult to grasp …

Although Zhuang Li was able to discern the emperor's feelings, if the emperor came back from the palace, he would have to come back from other places … At that time, it would be hard to guess … After all, she couldn't find out what had happened to the Emperor that day …

Now, he realised that the Eunuch Li was the emperor's barometer of rain. When the Emperor appeared, the Eunuch Li would either be by her side or waiting outside. No matter what happened, if the Eunuch Li looked kind and amiable, Zhuang Li knew that it was nothing big, and the Emperor was in a good mood. If there came a day when the Eunuch Li had a stern face and was frowning, that would mean that the Emperor had met with some troublesome matter. At this time, even the court officials knew that it would be best if they did not find the Emperor at this time to hand over some damnable paper.

Although the Eunuch Li had always set the rules of the palace extremely strict, making them look impartial and impartial, if any young eunuch did something that they shouldn't have done, they would certainly be severely punished! He seemed to be a rather ruthless person. However, after getting along with him for a long time, he discovered that he was extremely kind and amiable. Although they were heartless, it was very rare for the eunuchs under their jurisdiction to commit a crime worthy of death. Even if they were sent to serve in other palaces one day, they were still children of elves, at least not stupid enough to violate their master's taboo …

When those young eunuch s found it hard to guess what was going on, they would say:

"If you want to serve your master with all your heart, then naturally, you will be able to see through his intentions. If you don't have the heart, then it is no wonder that you are always scolded by your master. "How can you not see clearly when you treat people with sincerity …"

There were a few days when Zhuang Li and Qing You were leisurely talking about the Eunuch Li with Imperial Study. Although the young eunuch was often lectured by the Eunuch Li, when they talk about him, they were not afraid of him.

"Although Eunuch has been very strict with us, he has been very kind to us in secret. He said that life in the palace is not as bright as it looks on the surface. "As servants, the most important thing is for us to sincerely work for our master."

"Master has worked hard too? Your Majesty, I admit that I have rarely seen him idle in the past few days, and it is common for him to stay in the study until dawn. "Every day, they spend a lot of time to look around and then get sent away. I don't think they've ever worked hard before …"

On the contrary, Zhuang Li felt that what the Eunuch Li said made sense. As a servant, only those who served their master with all their heart would be able to survive, and those who paid attention to their master would have their own value. Moreover, when Eunuch Li said that his master worked hard, he was afraid that sometimes, it was not only referring to the hardships, but also the hardships in his heart. No matter what era one was in, the struggles between concubines were a troublesome farce that could not be ignored.

So no matter how bright and beautiful he looked on the surface, it might not be true. If he could understand his master, then that servant could be said to be a good servant …

The intelligence of the Eunuch Li was probably not as simple as it seemed.

"I only feel that Eunuch Li is like he has eight eyes, no matter what I do, I won't be able to escape his eyes. Even my inner complaints are often seen through by him. "

"Shh!" The young eunuch lowered his voice and said.

"I am only secretly telling you all, Eunuch Li is not an ordinary person."

young eunuch's eyes were originally very small, and now that he looked so much smaller, it did not look like he was being funny.

"Eunuch Li is the most beloved eunuch by former emperor's side, and he was also the one who accompanied former emperor through his final days.

"What!" This news surprised Zhuang Li. Although she should have known this a long time ago, after all, Eunuch Li was already so old.

As soon as the Emperor ascended the throne, he changed almost all of the servants in the palace that were by the side of the Emperor. Naturally, the closest eunuch next to the new Emperor should also be someone he knew and trusted.

"Eunuch Li served the late emperor and had always been the person he trusted the most. After his death, he had already returned to his hometown, but who knew that the first thing the emperor did after he ascended the throne was to bring him back."

"Did the emperor go looking for him? How could he be willing? " Zhuang Li asked.

"Although the Eunuch Li's rewards for serving the late emperor could make a rich family in the capital, if it were any other eunuchs in other palaces, they would still find someone to raise a child in their hometown and help him become a foster son. If he is able to leave the palace in the future, then he would let the child retire. His hometown was also the same old house from many years ago. I heard that they are almost falling down. "

"Eunuch Li did not buy a house for me?"

"There's really none. I heard that the Eunuch Li's family is extremely simple."

Zhuang Li frowned, she did not expect that an old eunuch who had already returned to his hometown would come to the palace again for the sake of the emperor, who knew what kind of words the emperor had said to persuade him out of it.

Furthermore, why would the Emperor want the Eunuch Li to serve him? Although the Eunuch Li was indeed a very capable servant, if he were to choose a new disciple from the new young eunuch, it would not be difficult for him. After all, from the thousand servants, he had always been able to find someone that the Emperor wanted …

But he had to admit that sometimes, those young eunuch s in the palace were indeed unable to compare to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li had been in the Great Phoenix Dynasty Hall for many years, and had seen the complicated and delicate relationship between the situation and the court officials. He knew very well which prince former emperor liked the most, and he was probably the person with the most knowledge in his heart. He had also always kept the conflicts between the harem in his heart in mind.

With the death of the former emperor, the mistresses behind him were all still alive. Furthermore, the matriarchs of the matriarchs all had their own powers within the imperial court. When Wang Su ascended the throne, the complex stall in front of him had his own difficulties too. If he could have a servant like Eunuch Li by his side, he could save himself a lot of trouble in times of crisis.

I wonder if Eunuch Li knew from the very beginning that there would be a day when Great Phoenix World would be the Emperor's?

Qing You still felt that it was unbelievable, so she patted her forehead.

"In short, you just have to listen to what the Eunuch Li says. If you follow him while doing things in the palace, you will definitely not be punished."

"I am not afraid, I usually follow the young eunuch to clean the Imperial Study, to serve the young miss, what can happen?"

Zhuang Li was overjoyed.

It was soon to be the middle of July, and although Zhuang Li did not believe it, she always knew that the ghost that died on the fifteenth of the seventh month would return. Therefore, she had to send river lamp to the ghosts and gods.

However, it was in the Great Phoenix Sect today. As early as the beginning of July, Zhuang Li had already heard Qing You talking about the many little girls in the palace. The people who passed away in their families were all making their own river lamp s. In the imperial harem, the Imperial Noble Lady s were also making river lamp s.

Although river lamp s were known to send blessings to the ghosts and deities, those river lamp s in the palace were becoming more and more flowery. Over time, it had not only been for the sake of blessings, it had also become a competition between the various palace maids.

Which palace's river lamp was the most complicated, and which palace's river lamp had the most beautiful colors? Which palace's river lamp burned the longest, and which palace's river lamp was able to be seen by the Emperor?

After a long time, he had forgotten about giving away ghosts and deities, but it had become an activity in the palace.

However, Zhuang Li thought that none of the river lamp in the palace could be personally made by the Empress herself, it was all done by the servants.

If any of the river lamp in the palace received the emperor's praise, then that little girl would naturally be heavily rewarded by the Empress when she returned …

Thus, the secret switch from the climbing river lamp to the empress's secret fighting activity …

If the emperor had seen the river lamp that he made himself, not only would he be rewarded by his master, but he would also be promoted to a head maid by his master. From being a servant girl, he would become the servant girl who entered the room to serve his master.

Not only would he be rewarded, even his monthly allowance would be increased by a lot …
