Chosen Son

Haoyue is in the sky.

The young eunuch Xiao Xizi who has just entered the palace is the first time to work with the master tonight, even though before entering the palace, the master pointed his forehead and told him the rules over and over again, when he actually stepped into the door , he still involuntarily softened his legs.

He is timid, as he has been since he was a child.The family was poor, and his parents gave birth to five or six children in a row, but later they could no longer support him, and seeing that he was not as clever as his older brother, they simply sent him to the palace to cut off his lifeblood, and he found a home.After that, whether it is life or death, it doesn't matter anymore.He had been terrified for a long time, but fortunately he had a master who was easy to talk to. Although he often beat and scolded him, he still taught everything that should be taught.He is obedient and learns quickly. The master intends to let him stand out, so he chose today and decided to guide him to "show his face" in front of that person.

This show of face is a particularity, especially in front of the current Holy Master.Everyone knows that this man is not as benevolent as the former emperor, he is a master who lives and kills according to his emotions, and hates forming cliques and factions the most in his life, even among the servants.If you want to promote a person, you must wait for him to "discover" himself.

This is what the master told him, he can only give him a chance, and the rest depends on his own ability.

"Remember, don't talk nonsense when you go in, follow me, unless the emperor has something to ask you, otherwise I will be your errand, and I will have a way to talk about it afterwards." It seemed that he could see his nervousness , the experienced old eunuch turned around and told him one last time.

He nodded, feeling that the palms of his hands were constantly oozing fine sweat, so he hurriedly wiped it on his clothes, and followed the master into the hall.

Today is the day when the Holy Majesty feasts his ministers.

It's a grand banquet, but with his usual unserious temperament, he will definitely not go through the process in a serious manner.It's just that the dishes that should be served are served, and it's just a matter of recruiting a few people who are pleasing to the eye to talk and pretend, and it's pretty smooth.What I am most afraid of is that this master is not going well, and because of some adult during the banquet who advised him a few more words, he directly saw the blood, that way the censor's face will not look good, and the palace servants on duty that day will be affected.

Fortunately, today, I heard that that person is also here.

The hall is still lit with extravagant and long-lasting incense, which is a special fragrance for tribute from the Western Regions. It has a strong smell and is born with a magnificent taste.Ordinary people would almost feel a little dizzy when they smell it for the first time. Xiao Xizi took a few deep breaths, and at the same time glanced at His Highness secretly—officials wearing court uniforms of various grades sat together, occasionally whispering Yes, but because the banquet is about to start, not many people dare to do so.

A few days ago, there was a blood splattered three feet in this hall. Compared with the momentary relaxation, everyone obviously cherished their lives more.Among them, only one looked the most relaxed, even a little frivolous.

This person looked young, and his appearance was obviously better than that of everyone at the table, but there was a sinister look between his eyebrows, and he was facing the plate of delicacies in front of him with slanted eyebrows. In a daze, he fiddled with the chopsticks carelessly, without any scruples.Everyone didn't seem to interact with him very much, the reason was that there were more or less people sitting on the other tables, only the small table in front of him was full of dishes, but he was the only one alone.

As if he had noticed Xiao Xizi's gaze, he glanced at this corner, and actually smiled, with a careless evil in his smile, Xiao Xizi trembled a bit, not daring to look any more, just lowered his head deeply .

This was the one who made him breathe a sigh of relief.

This person is an out-and-out courtier.Suppressing dissidents, exhausting all means to rise to the top, obviously talented, but using it all on business calculations, persecuting many honest and loyal ministers.But today's Holy Majesty listens to him very much, because he can always find all kinds of tricks to make His Majesty happy, and some bad ideas from His Majesty can also get his strong support - in the words of the upright censor It is said that bastard and mung bean made a pair, which became a good story of a monarch and his ministers getting along well.

It's just that the censor who yelled at the court has long been buried in the bottom, but this one has risen step by step, and now he is an important minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people.The world is impermanent, and it is really unpredictable.

After a while, the current Holy Majesty finally came to the banquet.

He seemed to be a little sullen, but he didn't know why—anyway, no one couldn't think of a few words of concern in person, and when everyone felt uneasy that he was going to lose his temper again, he waved his hand directly to signal At the beginning of the banquet, I didn't even say a word of politeness, but fortunately, this was exactly what everyone expected.So the music sounded slowly, and the graceful dancers walked to the front of the stage and began to dance. Seeing that the Holy Majesty did not pay much attention to their appearance, the ministers gradually let go of their long-hanging hearts. The atmosphere began to heat up.

Xiao Xizi followed Master to serve tea a few times, her mood eased a lot, and her movements were no longer as stiff as before.It's just that joy gave birth to sorrow, the newly made eunuch clothes were a bit too big, and one accidentally stepped on the clothes, and fell straight to the ground.

His fall was minor, but the hot tea in his hand splashed on the clothes of the person he shouldn't have offended. Coincidentally, the person who was splashed with water was the person he had just considered a savior.

It’s over.

Xiao Xizi closed her eyes tremblingly.

I'm afraid it's the first time I show my face today, so I'm going to fold it here.

Gu Fan felt that his time travel was getting better and better. At first, he knew to choose a time in the dead of night, no matter how bad it was, it was a time to be alone and think, but this time when he opened his eyes, he was a strangely dressed man. The little eunuch trembling in front of him, surrounded by a group of people looking at him in horror, as if he is a scourge about to show its power, this feeling is really...

I was caught off guard and brought a little coolness.

Did he finally get a very high-end character design this time?

With such a happy mood, he quickly searched the current life and general situation of this body in his mind, and then almost couldn't maintain the original smile on his face that was like a spring breeze.

Well... it looks really high-end...

This character can not only call the wind and call the rain, but also be reviled by thousands of people, but as the saying goes, black and red are also red... Well, stop, don't diverge, it is more important to solve the immediate matter first.

He sighed silently in his heart, checked the possible reactions of the original owner, then skipped a series of lethal punishments such as being executed with a stick, and chose the lightest one among the remaining options, and said in a pleasant manner:

"Let's drag it down and play forty boards."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone was surprised, but they were amazed in their hearts. A certain person sitting in the hall was more straightforward.As soon as the fan was shaken, there was interest in her eyes: "Is Gu Aiqing in a good mood today?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

Gu Fan's ability to talk nonsense has long been practiced without changing his face, let alone the monarch who has just fooled the West, now he can open his mouth to deal with these small talk.

"I just saw this little eunuch's face-to-face, and felt that it was quite eye-catching, like a playmate when I was young, so I couldn't bear to be harsh."

"Well, Gu Aiqing is very nostalgic." His Majesty nodded and waved his hand, "Then let's do it this way."

Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back in his seat again.

Unexpectedly, he actually traveled back to ancient times.It's just that this dynasty seems to be slightly different from the one he wore before. Although he almost stayed in the mansion in that world, he could vaguely feel that it was a peaceful and prosperous age, while this dynasty faintly revealed some sense of desperation. .Not only that, but he may also be one of the culprits that contributed to this decline.

For this matter, he is quite fortunate. After all, he studied this character design in the void, and felt that if he stood on the opposite side of him and fought wits and courage with him, he might fight for his life. No, now that his body is directly occupied like this, there is more room for development.At the same time, it is also more convenient for the progress of his mission.

As for his mission this time...

This is another mission that is different from the past. The difference is that it does not have a key plot point. Gu Fan wants to keep one person alive within a limited three years.

In fact, considering his current status, it is not difficult to keep one.It's just that this requirement sounds quite simple, but in fact it is far from the truth.The person he wants to protect is the youngest brother of the current emperor, who was the most competitive in the struggle for the reserve back then, and almost succeeded in becoming the position, and the current emperor, that is a public tear.The bad relationship between them can be proved by the fact that all the brothers of the Holy One today have been made kings from near or far, big or small, but this one is still living in seclusion in the palace for ten days. For half a month, I couldn't come out to take a breath.

Don't blame the current saint either.It is true that this little Highness wants to be powerful, good-looking, intelligent, intelligent, and well-connected. If it weren't for the written edict of the former emperor, Gu Fan seriously doubts that this person will not be able to sit on the throne now. .

The authenticity of this edict is not listed for the time being, it will be a matter of time before the little Highness reckons. From the perspective of the new emperor, Gu Fan feels that it must be eradicated.

The new emperor obviously thought the same way. A few days ago, he specially recruited the original owner for a secret meeting, and the talk was to find a legitimate reason to kill his brother.

The original owner obviously thought so too, he had even promised the late Emperor to go back and draw up a reasonable plan, which might still be on his desk.

So here comes the question, what is the probability that Gu Fan will destroy this natural thing and save this little Highness's life for three years?

He suddenly felt a little tired.

The author has something to say: it’s still a superficial ancient times, but the main story is in the palace court
