Hidden in the court

Eunuchs also have relatives and friends. Old eunuchs like Eunuch Zhang usually have sons before entering the palace. After being in the palace for a long time, they will also have confidants similar to "apprentices". The purpose is to have the "apprentices" take care of them in their old age.

These "apprentices" had an easier time in the early days with the care of the old eunuchs. In addition, those who were accepted as "apprentices" by these cunning old men were all smart without exception, and they were carefully trained by the old eunuchs through words and deeds, so their abilities were beyond doubt.

As for why Eunuch Zhang was so happy? Nonsense, didn't you see that Su Youde has been following your Majesty since he was still the crown prince, and that's why he got his current position as the chief steward.

At first, Eunuch Zhang thought that he was too old to be promoted, so he found an apprentice to take care of him in his old age. Now, if the apprentice could stay with the prince, oh my...

"Little mouse, come with me."

The young man called "Little Mouse" was stunned, "Where are you going, Eunuch Zhang?"

"Why are you talking so much? Just follow me. This is great news. This is a great news..."

Eunuch Zhang led him and walked quickly while explaining: "The Crown Prince wants to see you. Maybe you can be with the Crown Prince in the future. You must support the Crown Prince well. One day, even an old man like me will have to bow to you when I see you..."

Listening to Eunuch Zhang's explanation and jokes, "Little Mouse" didn't react for a moment.

"Hey, kid, you're usually pretty smart, why are you so stupid now? Remember, from now on, be careful with your words and actions. If something really happens, I may not be able to protect you, and you'll have to bear it all by yourself."

When the "little mouse" reacted, he looked at Eunuch Zhang with gratitude, but before he could think about it, he came in front of the two princes.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses!"

"Your Highness, Princess, this is Feng Chenghao, he is 22 years old this year, and he is from the same batch as the others. However, he has been with me for a short time since he entered the palace, and he has learned most of the palace rules and regulations, and he also knows some boxing and kicking, so it is just right for him to be with the Crown Prince."

The two looked at Feng Chenghao and saw that this man was a little taller than Nangong Xiao, with a strong build and a handsome appearance. He must be a talented person.

Nangong Bian nodded and looked at her brother.

"What do you think, brother?"

"Okay, then it's him."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Zhang to take him down and prepare him, and have him go to the East Palace tomorrow."

"Yes, then I will see you off, Your Highnesses."

After the two men left, Eunuch Zhang pulled Feng Chenghao and said with a smile: "This good thing has happened to you. You have learned everything you should learn. Let me say one more thing. It is too early to be unhappy. From now on, you have to think about it yourself.

You have to be smart. Let me be frank. If it works, I will give you a gift. If it doesn't, I will hold a funeral for you..."

Besides, as soon as the brother and sister returned to the East Palace, a young eunuch came forward.

"Your Highness, the Queen and Lady Liang invite you to take a walk in the Imperial Garden."

"Okay, I'm going there too. Brother, let's go together."

Nangong Xiao didn't say anything, but Nangong Bian spoke first.

"This……"

The young eunuch obviously didn't react and immediately stammered.

Nangong Bian didn't even look at him and pulled his brother away.

"Go to the Jingshifang and receive twenty lashes of the board."

When a long voice came, the little eunuch was so scared that he knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness Princess, please spare your life!"

"thirty?"

"Ah? Yes, I'll go right away."

"Really? It's no good when these two women appear together."

Gradually, the two came to the imperial garden.

I saw a group of people, and the two women in the middle were the Queen and Concubine Liang.

The two did not rush forward, but watched them plan quietly.

As expected, the two men didn't say anything nice when they met face to face.

"Sister, do you really want to do this?"

"Of course, it's nothing more than a change of clothes. What's the difficulty?"

Lady Liang looked worried, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Sister, how about I find a chance to get close to him and accuse him of flirting with me? If I fail, it won't be too late for you to do it again, sister?"

The queen couldn't help but smile complacently when she heard this.

"This is a great idea. If he makes a mistake today, a large group of people in the court will pull him down from the throne tomorrow. You and I still have a chance."

It has to be said that because of Nangong Xiao's appearance, the harem is unprecedentedly united at this time.

"Wait, that's Princess Bian?"

Suddenly, the queen saw the brother and sister in the distance and was a little surprised.

"Why did she come with you?"

"It's okay. It's okay to follow. It's a good opportunity to be a witness."

The two men smiled and went to greet him, "Today the sun is shining brightly, and it is a good time for flowers to bloom, so I thought of inviting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit the garden. I never thought that Bian'er would also come, and I was just about to ask someone to call you. This is perfect, why don't you go together?"

"Okay, I also want to see the two aunts."

Nangong Bian kept a straight face but cursed in his heart, "I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

The four entered the Imperial Garden, walking in front, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Soon, Nangong Bian discovered something was wrong. Why was Concubine Liang always staying close to her brother instead of staying with the queen?

Looking at this situation, Nangong Bian didn't think about other things at the first time, he just felt very unhappy.

So he quietly changed his position and stood between the two of them.

When Concubine Liang saw that she was blocked by someone, she walked towards the other side of Nangong Xiao.

Nangong Bian glanced at her angrily, then walked in the opposite direction with his brother.

"Brother, look at the flowers over there."

Liang Guiren, who had failed again, had no expression on her face, but she was a little crazy inside.

Take two quick steps and move closer. Nangong Bian had already heard the sound of wind behind his ears, so he reached out and plucked a flower, ready to put it on Nangong Xiao's head.

Nangong was unable to react, and in the blink of an eye, a pink flower appeared on his head.

"Haha~"

Nangong Bian, who was very happy at this time, seemed to be teasing his brother, but in fact he took the opportunity to change his position.

Liang Guiren, who rushed over, was almost knocked off balance by the crowd and narrowly avoided falling into the flower bed.

Seeing this scene, the Queen also realized that Nangong Bian must have been on guard. It just so happened that they were almost at the bridge, and this Liang Guiren could no longer be counted on.

After a while, everyone reached the bridge.

There is a lotus under the bridge, the lotus leaves are larger than the surrounding ones. The lotus is not in bud like the surrounding ones, but in full bloom.

It's strange that we have money to build the bridge but no money to install railings. If we install railings, you say it doesn't look good.

The queen led a few people onto the bridge, leaned over to look down, and greeted Nangong Xiao.

Nangong Bian wanted to follow, but was forcibly pulled aside by Concubine Liang.

"Bian'er, come and take a look over here."

Damn it! Nangong Bian couldn’t get through and could only give his brother a look to warn him.

Unfortunately, Nangong Xiao didn't see it, and without suspecting anything, he took two steps forward and came to the side of the queen.

What a good opportunity! Seeing this godsend opportunity, the queen felt relieved and thought that she could frame Nangong Xiao at will as long as she jumped down.
