Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Leaving the Palace

Chapter 48

With Fucheng's words, the Master did not embarrass Wuding.

While waiting to rest, Wuding and Du Qing discussed when to go to the manor. Li Shucheng was jealous and came to Wuding and begged, "Brother Ding, take me with you too!"

Wuding was naturally happy to be called brother, and couldn't help but smile.

"Third brother, I have wanted to go and see it for a long time." Li Shucheng's white and fat face was full of smiles, which made his eyes look smaller, like a little Maitreya Buddha, which was very different from his father, Li Ge Lao, who was tall and thin and had a rather elegant aura.

Wu Ding was very much loved at home, and thought it was just a small matter. "What's the problem? You can come whenever you want,

I'll take care of it." Everyone talked about it, and soon the date was set for the next day off. When the former prince was still young, his enlightenment study was very strict, but when it came to Fucheng's turn, who would dare to ask him to get up early and study hard? The atmosphere in this school was very relaxed. Under the instruction of the queen, the days of the day off were changed to three days on and two days off.

It was just like the saying, three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.

At first, Jiang Yu felt sorry for her daughter who had to get up early every day to study in the palace. Seeing that she could take two days off, it was easier than the previous school, so she naturally felt comfortable.

These people were chatting excitedly, but Fucheng was silent. Even the somewhat careless Wu Ding noticed his displeasure and scratched his head. He was really afraid of this prince.

Fu Cheng said quietly, "I haven't been there either."

The eldest grandson of the emperor was not in good health, and even if the weather was a little cold, he couldn't go out, let alone go on a long trip to the farm.

Wu Ding felt that Fu Cheng was quite pitiful. It turned out that the eldest grandson of the emperor also had many unsatisfactory things.

Du Qing, "It would be great if Your Highness could go together."

"The Crown Princess would definitely not agree, and even the Queen would not allow it." Li Shucheng shook his head and said, "Unless he sneaked out."

"Sneaked out?" This sentence was like a stone thrown into the calm water, and ripples had already appeared.

Everyone immediately became alert. Du Qing blinked his eyes, Wu Ding showed a look of sudden enlightenment, Fu Cheng seemed eager to try, and the rascal Li Shucheng immediately covered his mouth and shook his head like a rattle, "I didn't say anything, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Wu Ding was quite loyal, "Your Highness is really too pitiful. He hasn't even been to the farm."

Du Qing, "If you have any concerns, just say it and help Your Highness."

Li Shucheng took a few steps back, "Find a way by yourselves, I didn't hear anything."

Wu Ding was furious and grabbed Li Shucheng, "Don't you want to be beaten by me?"

At this moment, Li Shucheng was surrounded by a crowd of people. Everyone was staring at him, very miserable, and wailed, "Your Highness, Brother Ding , Miss Du, I understand what you are thinking. I also want to share the worries of His Highness, but is this an ordinary thing? What is His Highness's status? If he makes a mistake, we can't afford to offend

him. "Li Shucheng was young, but he thought very carefully and seriously, "Of course, His Majesty is kind. Seeing that we are still young, he may not want to punish us, but we all have parents and brothers."

The scene became cold for a while. In fact, whether it was Wu Ding or Du Qing, he naturally thought of it, but recently when he was accompanying his studies in the palace, the emperor and the empress occasionally came to check on him, and they were very kind and amiable. In addition, no matter how naughty they were at home, their parents were humble and tolerant, which made them subconsciously bring it in, thinking that even if they got into trouble, they would just be scolded.

But the reason why the emperor's eldest grandson is noble is that he is not an ordinary person. His grandfather is the current emperor. Li Shucheng's words are like pouring a basin of cold water on them. Several children wilted and looked very pitiful.

It happened that the teacher came in to teach, and the matter passed.

Only Fucheng was left alone, with a heavy look in his eyes, and I don't know what he was thinking.

***

This day was a day of rest, and the imperial study in the palace was quiet. When the dozen or so tutors were there, it was just a little noisy, but now it was a little deserted.

The eldest grandson of the emperor went to pay his respects to the emperor in the morning, returned to his own residence, sat quietly for a while, and said to the eunuch beside him, "Call Shunxi over."

Shunxi was originally called Shunfu, but the eldest grandson of the emperor's nickname was Fucheng, and because of taboos, the word "Fu" was naturally removed. When he first entered the palace, everyone was a little surprised because his figure and face were similar to the eldest grandson of the emperor.

The hall was lit with calming incense, which made people feel peaceful. Shunxi stood in the hall, feeling uneasy. He usually took care of the sweeping outside the hall, so it was naturally not his turn to serve the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Fucheng pointed to the scriptures on the Huanghuali desk and said, "I heard that you write well."

Shunxi was a man with a miserable life. Before he entered the palace, his family was relatively wealthy, and he studied with a teacher for a while. Later, his family changed drastically, his parents died, and his relatives were separated. In order to make a living, he had to become a eunuch.

Because of his good handwriting, he was assigned to the emperor's eldest grandson. However, there were many talented people here, and the eunuchs serving in the study were all proficient in writing. In addition, they came first and arrived first, so there was no chance for him to come over. Seeing Fucheng come to ask about it, he was naturally very happy.

The emperor's eldest grandson asked Shunxi to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and he naturally had no objection. However, the emperor's eldest grandson wanted to hide it from His Majesty. After all, it was for His Majesty to pray for blessings, and he wanted to make the emperor happy and give him a surprise when he took it out.

Shunxi said very cleverly that he could copy it in the empty room next to the back room.

The eldest grandson of the emperor readily agreed and even gave Shunxi an admiring look, which made Shunxi very excited. He felt that he was one step closer to the eldest grandson of the emperor and must complete this task.

After waiting for Shunxi to leave, the eldest grandson of the emperor glanced at Sun Derui who was serving on the side. He knelt down with a bitter face and said, "Your Highness, please bypass me."

The young face of the eldest grandson of the emperor was gloomy and inconsistent with his age. "If you don't want to serve me anymore, just say it directly, and I will have someone send you back to your original place."

"Your Highness, I am still yours even if I die."

Sun Derui couldn't help but kowtow and said bitterly. If I was sent back by the eldest grandson of the emperor, would I still have a way to live? This palace has always been flattering the powerful and trampling the weak, not to mention that everyone in the palace has people they don't like, and he naturally has a few people who don't like him, so it's natural to add insult to injury at that time.

"Sun Derui, there is no shortage of people who can only talk in this palace. No matter how beautiful the words are, if there is no action, it is useless and even expires." The emperor's eldest grandson is precocious. Although he is young, he is not someone who can be fooled.

He spoke like an adult.

At this point, there was no room for maneuver. Sun Derui's face turned pale.

When he was asked to serve the emperor's eldest grandson, he was very happy. He felt that he finally got a chance. However, this opportunity and crisis naturally coexist. Well, if he wants the emperor's eldest grandson to look at him with a higher regard, he naturally has to pay a price. If he doesn't die this time, he will be the first person in front of the emperor's eldest grandson in the future.

Sun Derui responded to the order of the emperor's grandson with the determination to die.

At noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky, sweeping away the morning chill and gradually bringing some spring warmth. The guards at Donghua Gate stood lazily on duty. Although they stood straight, they could hardly open their eyes under the warm sun. "I'm so sleepy." One of the guards said, calculating the time eagerly, hoping that it would be time to change shifts soon.

Just when I was feeling sleepy, two eunuchs came in front of me. In fact, it would be better to say that one eunuch brought a little eunuch, still a child, and I don't know who was so cruel to let such a young child enter the palace.

"It's Eunuch Sun."

Everyone recognized him when he looked up. It was Sun Derui, who was beside the emperor's eldest grandson. He smiled and took the badge from the guard. Along with the badge came two purses filled with small change. He smiled and said, "I'm on the order of the emperor's eldest grandson to do errands."

"You're too polite." The guard at the gate took it, but didn't make things difficult for Sun Derui. He just opened a corner door for him to go out. When he saw the child had been lowering his head, he couldn't help but mutter, "Eunuch Sun, this is still a child, and he's also going to do errands with you?"

"This child is pitiful. He came to the palace at such a young age. I saw that he was smart and kept him by my side. So today, he had to follow me when I went out to do errands. I took him out to broaden his horizons." Sun Derui said helplessly.

The guards knew that some eunuchs would adopt godsons. This little eunuch was still young, and he was probably raised as a son. They said, "You are lucky, you have won the favor of Eunuch Sun. You must be filial to him in the future." After saying that, they patted the little eunuch on the shoulder.

This frightened Sun Derui, but he saw that the young eunuch was not angry. He nodded respectfully and followed him.

Sun Derui breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that there would be another accident, and hurriedly led the young eunuch out the door.

There was already a carriage waiting outside. Sun Derui carried the young eunuch into the carriage, very considerate. The gatekeeper took a look before closing the door and said to the person next to him, "Hey, don't say it, it's really like raising a son." The

man saw the carriage go and the door closed, and said without hesitation, "He is a rootless eunuch, and he met such a young eunuch. Isn't it like raising a son?"

The two smiled at each other, full of mockery. Although everyone was polite on the surface, they naturally looked down on the eunuchs in their hearts.

Today was a day off, and Du Qing and Wu Ding agreed to go to their farm to play, so they naturally left early in the morning. She also begged her mother, "Mom, it's close to my grandfather's house, so I might as well take a few more days off to pay my respects to my grandfather."

Jiang Yu naturally did not object and agreed.
