Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi were waiting anxiously outside. When they saw Yan Ge coming out, they immediately went to greet him.
"Little Lord."
Yan Ge indicated for them to not talk anymore and handed the tea leaves over to Wan Xiang.
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi could see that his expression was strange, since Qiu Yue was also here, they could only restrain themselves.
The four of them did not speak along the way, and returned to the Hall of Spring Wind.
The moment he entered the courtyard, Yan Ge saw Soong Ruhao, Du Zhengfeng and Zhou Wenhan who were inside the pavilion watching him, and felt that the situation was dire. He saluted from afar, went around the flowers, and brought the autumn moon into the Chunfang Garden.
"That Palace Maid is the Great Palace Maid by Worthy Lady Tian's side." Zhou Wenhan was both envious and jealous. Worthy Lady Tian was a popular person beside the Emperor, it was only a matter of time before she would stand up for her. I really can't tell that Yan Ying is the one who is hiding his true strength. "
Soong Ruhao did not comment, and pushed away the teacup that no longer had any heat, "This young master is feeling a little unwell, so I will be going back first."
Zhou Wenhan hurriedly stopped him, "Worthy Lady Soong, don't go yet. You were once the emperor's attendant, and you already have a friendship with the emperor, why not think of a way? "Are you willing to agree to be one level higher than you in the future?"
Soong Ruhao smiled, "What does Zhou agree to mean? Heaven's might is hard to predict, but what can this young master think of? " Finishing his words, he brought Palace Maid and the young eunuch away.
Zhou Wenhan watched him walk off gloomily, then glanced at the expressionless Du Zhengfeng, frowned, and angrily left.
Du Zhengfeng looked at the three cups of cold tea on the table, and shook his head, "It's finally cold, and you don't want to drink anymore?" He drained his cup of tea in one gulp, stood up, and left.
When the toothbrush and toothpaste were done, Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi liked it a lot. After hearing from Yan Ge that it would be best to change one for three months, they also made a lot of them during their free time. Yan Ge told Xiao Chuanzi to get four toothbrushes and two bottles of toothpaste for Qiu Yue and for Wan Xiang to grind the ink.
Xiao Chuanzi and Wan Xiang finally understood the reason why the Worthy Lady Tian was looking for Yan Ge and were shocked.
Yan Ge stood in front of the table and wrote down the method to make the toothbrush and toothpaste.
Qiu Yue carefully put it away in her sleeve, kowtowing and saying, "Thank you very much for agreeing." This servant will take her leave. "
After she left, Yan Ge walked to the side of the chair and sat down.
Xiao Chuanzi immediately went to help him.
Wan Xiang was shocked, "Little master, did Worthy Lady Tian lynch you?"
Yan Ge declined to comment. He did not want to scheme against Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi, but the news could only be leaked by them. For his sake, and also for Wan Xiang's and Xiao Chuanzi's sake, he must teach them a lesson.
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi looked at each other and knelt down.
"Young master, this servant can swear that this servant did not leak out the matter of toothpaste and toothbrush. If there is even the slightest lie, then divine lightning will strike the skies and one will die a horrible death! "
"This servant too!" Wan Xiang had a face full of panic.
Yan Ge was not angry, he was still smiling, but he did not let them get up, and said: "The two of you better think, when should you mention it outside, for others to hear?"
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi lowered their heads and thought for a long time. Then, Xiao Chuanzi suddenly raised his head, revealing a look of shame, and knocked his head on the ground, "This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die! When the servant went to get the bamboo, he muttered to himself. At that time, a Palace Maid happened to pass by. Because the distance was too far, the servant didn't care. Most likely, it was the Palace Maid who heard the servant's words. Please punish me, Young Master! "
When the truth was revealed, Wan Xiang glared at him furiously.
It was very likely that the Palace Maid was someone close to him. That would explain everything. Yan Ge stared at Xiao Chuanzi for a while, then said: "What's the use of punishing you now? Go down and think about it. "
Instead of receiving punishment, Xiao Chuanzi felt even more uneasy, stuttering as he stood up and retreated together with Wan Xiang with a depressed look on his face.
Yan Ge slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back, sighing helplessly. He had underestimated the crisis in the palace. Even a small toothbrush and toothpaste made just to improve the quality of life had attracted the attention of people. What else could not have happened?
Soong Ruhao was somewhat concerned about Soong Ruhao, Du Zhengfeng and Zhou Wenhan. These three people couldn't all be like him and weren't willing to be his concubines. If they were to see him walking together with the Palace Maid s of the other palaces today, it would definitely arouse their suspicions.
The idea of self-preservation didn't apply in the palace. If you didn't look for trouble, it didn't mean that you didn't have to look for trouble. Could it be that he could only find a thigh to hug in the palace? Yan Ge folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the window frame relaxed as he pondered over this possibility.
In such a huge harem, the empress held the greatest power. However, for the empress to be able to become the empress and to sit on the empress's throne so steadily, it definitely wasn't an easy task. Fourth Consort, Rou Fei, Consort Zhao, Li Fei, and Zheng Fei did not have low statuses, but they were all women after all. Worthy Lady Tian had to die. Worthy Lady Tian could threaten him with a small toothbrush and toothpaste today, but she might be able to kill him tomorrow for other things. As for Soong Ruhao, Du Zhengfeng, and Zhou Wenhan, they were all men, so they could get more contact with them, but the three of them had no status at all in the harem, and could not be considered "thighs".
Yan Ge filtered through the memories of everyone in the harem, finding nothing.
He suddenly thought of the System and shouted in his mind, "System?"
The child's voice immediately sounded, "Master." Have you finally changed your mind? "
Yan Ge was speechless. He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, then picked up his clothes and sat down, "Let me ask you, why did you say that I would definitely regret it? Do you know something? "
"Is there a need to ask? The higher your level, the more benefits you will receive. So I think you'll regret it. " "Master, are you in some kind of trouble?"
Others might not know about the existence of the system, but it was impossible for the system to leak information. Yan Ge didn't mind telling him about it, "Today …"
The System's voice suddenly became a few decibels higher, "Master! Who said that the empress had the most power in the harem? Your majesty! Your majesty! Only the emperor has the thickest legs! "
Yan Ge snorted, raising an eyebrow. "So, you want me to hug the emperor's thigh?" The system had not given up on his promotion.
The child sternly said, "Master, don't think that I'm saying this to help you level up."
Yan Ge thought: You are.
"Think about it, if you can really make His Majesty your backer, won't you be running amok in the imperial harem? Even the empress can't do anything to you, and Worthy Lady Tian isn't even worth mentioning. Master, the emperor's legs can definitely be embraced! Really, you think about my suggestion. "
Yan Ge was initially just casually listening, but suddenly a thought struck him and he faintly grasped onto something. The current emperor didn't like men. He didn't have to be the 'concubine' to be able to hug the emperor's thigh. He could do it in any other way. Worthy Lady Tian had said that she would present the toothbrush and toothpaste to the Emperor. If the toothpaste and toothbrush really piqued the Emperor's interest, he could use this as a starting point to come up with more brilliant ideas to win the Emperor's trust. At that time, wouldn't he be able to hug his leg?
The more Yan Ge thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. There was only one saying, "Accompanying the Emperor is like accompanying a tiger." When the Emperor trusted him, he was naturally like a fish back in water. If the Emperor no longer trusted him …
Yan Ge felt that he needed to think about it carefully. The System called out to him a few times, but he did not notice.
After mulling over it for a day, he still hadn't made up his mind. The next morning, after breakfast, he had to pay respects to Soong Ruhao again.
Zhou Wenhan always came early and was sitting at her seat drinking tea. When she saw Yan Ge, she immediately revealed a weird smile.
Yan Ge turned a blind eye to them and walked to the center of the hall, bowing with standard movements. Even so, it did not harm his body in the slightest.
"I promised Lady Yan to pay my respects to Worthy Lady Soong, it is good luck."
"Exempt, bestowed a seat."
Yan Ge felt that Soong Ruhao's words were a few seconds later than usual.
After he sat down, Zhou Wenhan could not wait and asked: "Yan Gang, did the little eunuch who came to find you yesterday belong to Worthy Lady Tian?"
Yan Ge could only nod his head, with a smile on his face like usual, "Yes." He had expected to be asked about it today.
Just as Zhou Wenhan was about to ask again, Du Zhengfeng walked in. He could only wait until Du Zhengfeng finished bowing to Soong Ruhao and then pay his respects to him before opening his mouth once more, "Du Chang Zai, so it turns out that the little eunuch from yesterday was actually by Worthy Lady Tian's side."
"Is that so?" Du Zhengfeng sat unmoving as he sipped on his tea. He didn't seem to mind at all as he glanced at Yan Ge.
Zhou Wenhan was rather helpless, and could only ask Yan Ge herself, "I agree, but I wonder why Worthy Lady Tian is looking for you?"
Yan Ge grinned and said: "Actually this was just a misunderstanding. Worthy Lady Tian did not know who was the one who spouting nonsense, thinking that this young master knows all about music, chess and calligraphy, and wants to borrow a Zither Book. " He did not think that the Worthy Lady Tian would reveal the matter of her "offering flowers to the Buddha", so speaking carelessly now did not matter.
Zhou Wenhan did not believe it at all, "What kind of music manual would need my permission before I can borrow it? We all know that you have entered the Worthy Lady Tian's eyes, and we won't threaten you in the slightest. Why would we need to come up with such an excuse? "
"Why did Zhou agree to that?" Yan Ge looked at him in shock with an innocent face, as if he couldn't understand why he would wrongly accuse him, "What this young master said was all true. If you do not believe it, you can ask Worthy Lady Tian. "
Zhou Wenhan was choked to the point that he couldn't speak, she lowered her head and drank her tea with a gloomy expression. He was just making a small promise. It wasn't as if she could see her benefactor whenever she wanted to.
Soong Ruhao coughed lightly, and said to Yan Ge gently: "I promised you that I wouldn't mind what Zhou said. Actually, there are only the four of us within this palace. Zhou Sou naturally hopes to be more intimate with Yan Songcheng. If Yan Yan promise to really get Holy Pet through the Worthy Lady Tian, the three of us will only have our blessings. Du Chang Zai, I agree, is this young master right? "
Du Zhengfeng replied, "Of course."
Zhou Wenhan also nodded casually.
Yan Ge smiled but did not speak. Soong Ruhao had always allowed Zhou Wenhan to pressure him, and he was not a simple character either. It seemed that he really did have to make his decision earlier. It would be too late to deal with the crisis when it came.
