Chapter 16 The Chief Manager of Cining Palace

In a certain silkworm room in the clean room.

Several young eunuchs had different expressions. Some covered their faces and did not dare to look, some bared their teeth and sucked in cold air, and some looked at them with a hint of jealousy and malice.

"Manager Shan is here..."

As the old eunuch arrived, several young eunuchs, including the 'chicken killer', bowed and saluted with serious expressions.

Manager Shan nodded and then turned his attention to the young man lying on the bed. At this sight, even with his countless experience in watching skills, he was a little shocked...

What my god-grandson said is a bit conservative...

He glanced at the young eunuch beside him and asked, "You mean, this man was sent here by Eunuch Li Zhengxin of Dongchang?"

"Uh-huh."

"Did you bring anything?"

The little eunuch thought for a moment and said, "Eunuch Li didn't ask anyone to bring him anything, but the person who sent him said he seemed to have made Eunuch Li unhappy."

Such a huge creature, let alone a eunuch, would make a normal man feel a little unhappy when he sees it.

Manager Shan nodded thoughtfully, walked over to the young man lying on the bed and took a closer look, secretly sighing that this young man was born with a good skin.

If it were normal, he would definitely meet Lie Xinxi, kill the chicken himself and keep it for collection.

But now, when he saw this young man, he subconsciously thought of something told by the chief manager of Cining Palace...

He glanced at the little eunuch next to him and asked: "What is this person's name? What is his identity? Is there any record?"

"Yes, godfather."

The young eunuch explained: "According to the person who sent him, this person's name is Xu Boqing. He is the nephew of Xu He, the chief of the inspection department. His ancestral home is Jianyang. The Xu family is considered a well-off family in the local area.

Unfortunately, Jianyang was attacked by bandits a few days ago, and the Xu family bore the brunt of the disaster. Only Xu Boqing, the only son of the Xu family, escaped.

It's a pity that Xu Boqing was robbed by strong men on his way to Beijing. All his family members and servants died, and his money was gone. He only escaped by pretending to die.

His uncle Xu He was imprisoned because of what happened a week ago, so he was targeted by Eunuch Li’s people as soon as he entered the capital. I don’t know what happened next..."

The little eunuch paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and then said, "But I guess it was because Xu Boqing had no money to 'ransom' himself, and he annoyed Eunuch Li, so he was sent here."

"He is a good family man who has suffered a hard life."

Manager Shan rubbed his chin and didn't know what he was thinking of. He glanced at the young eunuchs watching the excitement in the jam room, waved his hand and said: "Little Dezi stays, everyone else goes out, do whatever you need to do, and...

…”

He paused and continued with a sullen face: "Don't talk nonsense after you go out. If I hear nonsense rumors in the cleansing room, watch your skin carefully!!"

"Young ones don't dare."

The young eunuchs and the 'chicken killer' responded to the words and bowed their bodies and retreated.

"Xiao Dezi."

"My grandson is here."

Manager Shan glanced at him and said, "I'm going to the palace. Just watch him here. Don't let anyone in during this period. If this person wakes up, you'll knock him out. Do you hear me?"

The little eunuch nodded, "My grandson knows."

"I can trust you to do your job."

Manager Shan nodded and then walked out the door with confidence.

After walking all the way to the harem, we went directly to Cining Palace.

Cining Palace is a relatively special existence in the harem, because it is the residence of the Empress Dowager. Usually, except for the eunuchs and maids, the queen of Kunning Palace, and the noble concubine of Yongning Palace, few people come here.

In other dynasties or countries other than Daliang, the harem is synonymous with "intrigue"...

But Daliang's harem is different. Not only are there not so many troubles, but the harem also gets along particularly harmoniously.

Because the previous emperor, Emperor Shengyuan, practiced Taoism and had few desires, he ate fasting, meditated, and took "elixirs" all year round, and now this tradition has fallen on the current Emperor Yonghe.

After decades of hard work by these two generations of emperors, not only was the imperial star shaky, but even the harem in the imperial city was in name only.

After all, the harem is the emperor's private back garden, but the emperor is now ashen-minded...

I won’t visit this back garden at all!!

Moreover, I have been taking "magic elixirs" all year round, and sometimes even if I think about it, I can't do it.

The current few princes and princesses were all planted in the years when Emperor Yonghe ascended the throne. Nothing came of it for more than ten years, which proves this point.

The intrigues in the harem are about fighting for the emperor's favor, but in an environment like Daliang, what can you fight for?

Therefore, everyone in the harem, from the empress and imperial concubines to the talented men and ladies, is living as a widow. Everyone is the same and there is no way to fight over it...

When Manager Shan arrived at Cining Palace, he asked the eunuch on duty to go in and report. After a while, he was taken in.

At this time, the chief chamberlain of the Queen Mother was reading in the study. Although they were both chamberlains, one was the most trusted chamberlain around the Queen Mother, and the other was in charge of the ablution room. The status of the two was as different as clouds.

After entering the room, Manager Shan bowed and said with a shy smile: "Manager Huang, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

When Manager Huang heard the voice, he put down the book in his hand, turned around and looked at the visitor and said with a smile: "Shan Feng, what is worthy of a trip in person like you?"

Shanfeng chuckled and did not answer, but glanced to both sides with meaning. Upon seeing this, Manager Huang waved his sleeves, and the study door closed automatically without wind.

"Manager Huang's true energy is getting stronger and stronger."

Shan Feng smiled, and then he stopped trying to be pretentious. He leaned over and softly recounted what he had seen and heard in the cleansing room before, emphasizing the 'things not like the human world'.

"oh?"

Manager Huang raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "How can it surprise even an old guy like you?"

Shanfeng responded seriously: "It's rare in your life!"

"Stop it."

Manager Huang didn't know what he was thinking of, and said with an unhappy expression: "The boy you praised so much last time was a pure waste. He annoyed the Queen Mother, and now the grass on the grave is probably ten feet tall."

Shanfeng laughed sarcastically, and then said seriously: "This time is different. I can't vouch for courage and character, but that job is really rare in the world. I believe it even if you say it's a donkey spirit in the world."

Manager Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Seriously?"

"Absolutely true."

"Then I really want to meet this young man."

Manager Huang groaned, as if he had thought of something, glanced at him and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"Manager Huang, you can rest assured."

Shan Feng smiled and said softly: "No one knows about the cleansing room except for a few young eunuchs. Those few young eunuchs were all trained by me, so they don't dare to talk nonsense."

His voice paused, and then he added in a sinister tone: "If that young man can really catch your eye, isn't it normal that there are only a few young eunuchs in my ablution room?"

"I'm interested..."

Manager Huang nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "You have nothing to do, please take me to see him. If that young man is as miraculous as you say, your reward will be indispensable."

"Hehehe."

Shanfeng laughed strangely and responded with a wink: "I will definitely not let Mr. Huang's trip go in vain."

"I just hope it's not a silver gun wax head..."
