Chengtianmen is the south gate of the palace city.

On this day, Xiao Fangzi, the food delivery eunuch of Zuo Zongyuan of Zongren Mansion, was standing inside the door, looking up as if he was waiting for someone.

He was wearing light green clothes and trousers, which were lighter in color than the previous green silk uniforms and had a different style. He no longer wore a black hat on his head, but simply held it up with a silver hairpin.

Today he is dressed not as a eunuch, but as a commoner.

If we go back a hundred years, the Dali Dynasty had strict regulations on the color of people's clothing, and they could only wear simple colors such as black, white, and blue.

Colors such as green, red, yellow, purple, etc. that show high status are not allowed to be worn.

But over the years, the imperial court has gradually become unable to control these controls, and has turned a blind eye.

A person like Xiao Fangzi can manage quite well in the palace. He usually has a little money on hand, and because he usually sees either nobles or ministers, his horizons naturally rise.

I don’t like white shirts and trousers. I don’t dare to wear red or purple, so I would wear light green to show off my identity.

If an acquaintance comes here and sees him dressed like this, he will know that he is leaving the palace, and he will inevitably have to make fun of him verbally.

"Are you going to show off again?"

Chengtian Gate was deserted today. Xiao Fangzi stood here for a long time without seeing any pedestrians.

He gradually became impatient and began to become anxious.

Suddenly he heard the sound of rapid running. He looked up and complained immediately.

"You are so clumsy, no wonder you can only eat scraps all day long."

The person who came was a young eunuch wearing a blue silk regimental uniform. He had no patches on his chest and back, so he was not of good quality.

Xiao Fangzi doesn't know his real name, so he just calls him Xiao Tanzi on weekdays.

"Brother Fang, don't be surprised if something happens today."

Xiao Tanzi looked flattering.

Xiao Fangzi complained for a while, then raised his hand to untie a token from his waist

"Today I am leaving the palace on my own day, so I will leave Zuo Zongyuan's meals to you."

Xiao Fangzi handed the token to Xiao Tanzi and asked him to keep it safe, and suddenly said in a lower voice.

"Be smart when delivering food to Xiao Shengzi. He is a popular person in front of our General Manager Hai."

Xiao Tanzi nodded repeatedly and said straightly: "I know, I know."

Xiao Fangzi sneered and said: "Don't say that my brother won't take care of you. Xiao Shengzi is very picky. I have prepared food for him before I came out. When you go, just give it to him first."

/p>

Xiao Tanzi quickly bowed and thanked: "Thank you so much, Brother Fang."

Xiao Fangzi shook his head and raised his hand to wave.

"Go, go, today is a bargain for you and you can have enough to eat for the whole day. Remember, I have prepared your meals, so don't eat anything else without permission."

Xiao Tanzi swallowed, nodded quickly, and his stomach growled.

The palace had reduced expenses, and he had not had enough to eat for several days.

Being able to get this job from Xiao Fangzi is really pie in the sky.

Xiao Fangzi saw him walking away and suddenly sneered.

"The eunuchs in the palace are worthless. One meal can buy two lives."

He looked to the east of the royal road, where the clan mansion was.

"Damn little beast, do you think that once you gain power, you can take advantage of me?"

He grinned ferociously, turned around and left after a moment, heading straight outside the palace.

"Today is a relaxing day, go out of the palace in style!"

……

Zongren Mansion, Zuo Zongyuan.

Zhao Sheng covered his nose, his expression getting weirder.

Whether he admits it or not, not only has he not completely repaired this star-attracting technique, but he has also practiced it completely differently.

"What is this? Did I develop a dog nose for myself?"

He muttered in a low voice, then calmed down and withdrew the zhenqi accumulated in the Yingxiang point on the wing of his nose.

The various smells echoing in his nose immediately dissipated a lot, but he still felt that his sense of smell was much more sensitive than before.

"Maybe if you take it a little longer, it will change back."

Zhao Sheng comforted himself like this and took another deep breath.

I found that my sense of smell has really weakened a bit.

It's still as good as usual. There are too many odors that the dog's nose can smell. It's too strong and he can't stand it.

Although in the previous life on earth, some friends always said that he was really a dog.

But he just wants to be a human being.

"So, is this a new move I've created...what should I call it?"

Zhao Sheng touched his nose and smiled helplessly.

There was a knock on the door outside, and he figured it was time to eat.

I walked over and opened the door. The person delivering the meal today was no longer the familiar Xiao Fangzi, but a thin and sallow Xiao Tanzi.

He held the dinner plate with both hands, looking at the rich meal on it, his mouth watered.

Zhao Sheng took the dinner plate and asked: "Why are you here today?"

Xiao Tanzi hurriedly replied: "Brother Fang left the palace on a break today and said he wanted to go home."

Eunuchs are also human beings, and they are also born from their mothers.

The palace is not ruthless. If the eunuchs and maids live in Yanjing, they can go home every year.

But handymen at the bottom like Zhao Sheng’s predecessor should not fantasize about this.

Each palace yamen has a quota for the number of outings, and he can't share it.

Xiao Fangzi works under Mr. Hai, so it’s not surprising that he can get a job and leave the palace.

He sent Xiao Tanzi away and walked into the room with a dinner plate.

Even though I have immortal aura, I will still be hungry when I should.

Having said that, he has not tried going without food for a few days to see if he will starve to death.

I’ll try it sometime later.

Today’s meal is noodle soup, sauerkraut stewed with fatty meat and a small plate of seasonal vegetables.

It looks very ordinary, but in the memory of its predecessor, it is already an out-of-reach delicacy.

Maybe he was hungry after practicing Qigong. Zhao Sheng moved his index finger and took a big sip, preparing to have a big meal.

But as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, his expression changed.

He smelled something unusual.

"Could it be that..."

Zhao Sheng poured zhenqi into Yingxiang point, and the tip of his nose was suddenly filled with various smells.

Most of them were the smell of the food in front of him, but among these smells, he smelled something different.

The smell is pungent and unpleasant, making people nauseous.

There’s something wrong with this dish!

Zhao Sheng's eyes moved slightly, stood up, and grabbed a mouse from a corner of the room.

The mouse was shiny, obviously not hungry.

These days, rats are fuller than humans.

He picked up the chopsticks with one hand to pick up the vegetables, and with the other hand he pried open the mouse's mouth and fed the vegetables in.

Real experimental mice.

He is not afraid of poison in the vegetables, because no poison can kill him.

But eating poison will hurt after all.

No need.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps on the table, the little mouse started to squeak, then fell to the ground stiffly and died.

"As expected!"

Zhao Sheng sneered, already having a calculation in his mind.
