Chapter 238

When I said that, everyone may laugh at me. When I just dropped out of school, I wanted to go to the palace to be a eunuch.

Of course, I just thought about it. My family was not at the end of the road at that time. Even if it was at the end of the road, as the only son in the family, I could not cut off my descendants easily.

I thought that way at that time because a friend of an elementary school classmate entered the palace and became a eunuch. He was an apprentice of a blacksmith at that time. He injured his hand due to an operation error and pestered him with a bandage to play with me. He talked about this while chatting.

He didn't know what the man was like after entering the palace, but he only knew that after his descendants were cut, his family had five hundred yuan. For us at that time, five hundred yuan was already a huge sum of money, and even if we brag, we wouldn't dare to say that it was such a big amount. He joked that if one day the mistake was made, he would become a eunuch and save on cutting.

This kid is also a crow's mouth. After joking like this, he really made a mistake again. Unfortunately, he did not hurt the bird, but blinded his eyes. He was infected with his wounds and died not long after. When I was in the funeral, I became a dealer and even gave his family a dollar of comfort.

The eunuch's affairs reminded me of his affairs and made me feel upset. Thinking about it carefully, my childhood playmates were either gone or had lost contact. The only one who was still in good condition and still had contact with me was ruined by me and might become a useless person.

Maybe... maybe I am the one who defeats people...

As soon as this idea came out, I shook my head hard and drove out this ridiculous idea. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, and their destiny has nothing to do with me. The only thing I feel ashamed of is Hong Guoli. If he really becomes a useless person, even if I support him for the rest of my life, the guilt in my heart will not be reduced at all.

I hope the Hong family can come up with a useful method... If it really doesn't work, they can only send it to the hospital for infusion and hire someone to take care of him, so that he can get better slowly.

I know that this is not the time to be sad about this. At this time, the guards and female officials who were responsible for guiding the way stopped, and we also subconsciously stopped and looked at the palace in front of us.

Compared to the palace along the way, it looks very mediocre and inconspicuous. Judging from the plaque hanging high above the main entrance, this place should be "Jing'an Hall", which sounds like a place to rest.

The guards and female officials behind had already walked up, and one of the female officials in front had already headed for Jing'an Palace. If I was right, she should have gone to inform and this should be the final destination.

As it turned out, I was not wrong. After the female official informed the person who was standing outside the hall and the eunuch, the eunuch shouted loudly in a sharp tone: "The emperor's kindness is so great! Colonel Xuan Lujun's gunman, Princess Rui's eldest daughter, and Princess Zhaoxi's reception!"

Don't report it in, just announce it?

I looked at Ji Leqian in confusion, and showed a puzzled expression when I saw her. Even she, who was familiar with the rules in the palace, showed this expression, which means that this action did not conform to the rules in the palace.

Although I don’t know what the rules in the palace are, I also think it is not very consistent. Not to mention anything else, the eunuch Xuanren put me, a civilian in front of Ji Lin, who is a royal princess, which is already very unruly.

It is true that Ji Leqian is a marginal royal family, and Princess Zhaoxi's title is just a name and has almost no value. But the royal family is a royal family after all, and is more noble than the common people. Whether it is a report or a proclaimer, the title should be ranked first among the common people. I think this is probably arranged by the emperor on purpose, with the purpose of giving Ji Leqian a warning and letting her retreat in the face of the difficulties.

I don’t know if it was with me, but Ji Leqin’s brows frowned and his body exuded an extremely unfriendly aura—actually murderous aura. But she quickly calmed down, raised her chin high, and hugged my arm.

"Let's go! Let's go in!"

I used to listen to books and said that when I saw the emperor, I would kneel down and kowtow nine times, so I always thought that I had to kneel down and kowtow before seeing the emperor. It was not until I really entered the imperial city that I truly understood the rules of meeting the emperor.

According to the imperial guards in the same car, if I put it in the past, a civilian officer like me would have to bow his head and bend into the hall. When I enter the hall, I would have to kneel down and walk forward with my knees, and never raise my head. There would be a eunuch in front of me to guide the way. When the eunuch stopped, I would have to kowtow, and my forehead would have to be on the ground, and I would have to stick my head tightly on the ground. If the emperor didn't say that he was flat, he would have to keep sticking out.

Even if I say I have a flat body, I can't raise my head. I can only lift my forehead a little, and I still have to stick it out. Until the emperor allows me to raise my head, for example, if I want to see what I look like, I can only raise my head. But even if I look up, I can't look directly into the emperor's eyes, I can only look at the emperor's feet.

But there are not so many rules now - to be precise, for civilian officers like me, the rules are much looser. If ordinary people meet the emperor, they still have to abide by that set of rules. With my current military ranks, you can go directly into the hall, just lower your head. You can kneel or not after entering the hall, and kowtow is not necessary at all, just salute the military.

Even if you kneel, you don’t have to kneel on both knees. Just kneel on one knee. You don’t need to bow your head, you can straighten your body - just like the standard kneeling posture of the army. The only limitation is that you cannot look directly into the emperor’s eyes, you can only look at the emperor’s feet. Moreover, the emperor will not let me kneel on the ground for long, and I will soon give you a seat, and after giving it, you can look up and look at it casually.

If the general or marshal is coming to meet, there is no need to kneel down, and the seats are all prepared. After they salute the emperor, the emperor will immediately let them take their seats, and at any time they can look directly into the emperor's eyes.

When the royal family meets the emperor, except for disrespecting military salutes and performing noble rituals, it is no different from the general or marshal's visit to the emperor. In this way, the general or marshal's status in the country is already equal to that of the royal family.

When entering the hall, because I could not look directly into the emperor's eyes, I could only walk with my head down, so I couldn't see what was in front of me, so I could only look at the eunuch's legs. As soon as his legs stopped, I stopped. After that, he knelt down and kowtowed to the front, then leaned over and knelt down, moved to the side, and retreated.

"Who is coming?"

When the eunuch retreated, the eunuch's sharp voice came from the front. This question made me laugh and cry. I had already made a loud voice just now, saying that Colonel Xuan Army Guns and Princess Zhaoxi, the eldest daughter of King Rui, met, but now I ask who we are. But this is the rule of meeting the emperor, and it must be answered, and it is a formal answer. The salute is at this time.

Hearing the question, Ji Leqian let go of my arm, bowed forward, and said in a moderate voice.

"I am the daughter of King Rui Ji Chongde, Princess Zhaoxi, and Your Majesty is blessed."

After she finished speaking, I saluted directly in front of me and said as the imperial guards taught me.

"To the Seventh Army Corps, the colonel of the 311th Infantry Regiment, has met His Majesty!"

"Rise your head and give me a seat."

In the slightly upward direction, a calm and majestic male voice came. I looked up and saw a young man in a golden red Qilin robe sitting on the main seat facing the door, with a table in front of him. The ground of the main seat was connected to the steps, with three steps, and the ground under me was the ground under me.

The table was less than fifteen meters away from me. I looked around and found that the space in the hall was not large and the decoration was not very gorgeous. There was a chair under the steps, with Wen Xiangwu facing away from me, sitting upright on the chair, with no intention of turning back at all.

I don’t know if he received news from Lin Zhongsheng.

When thinking about this, the eunuch had already brought a chair. The two eunuchs each brought a chair, one of whom placed the chair on the right side of Wen Xiangwu, and the other placed the chair on the left side of Wen Xiangwu, about three or four meters away from him.
