The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 257

[Chapter 257 Encountering an acquaintance by chance]

. Of course, Fang Xiu was not so arrogant as to park the Fang Mansion’s carriage next to the emperor’s relatives.

He just made the carriage stop far away from the imperial city, and then took Xiu’er out of the carriage.

This time, it was just the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Only a few people in the capital and the court knew about it.

Emperor Chu and Zhao Yan obviously had no intention of making this birthday party grand.

Therefore, there were not many carriages in front of the palace, and there was no big abnormality in the guarding troops compared to before.

Fang Xiu took a look at the carriages, but unexpectedly discovered something beyond his expectation.

Are those people from the grassland also invited to this banquet?

Fang Xiu looked at the carriage and frowned slightly, but without any major reaction, he walked in the direction of Miyagi.

These close soldiers were already very familiar with Fang Xiu. As soon as they saw the popular person in His Majesty’s eyes and their immediate superior, they hurriedly saluted.

Fang Xiu was used to this. He nodded slightly and walked into the palace.

Xiu’er, who was following him, was a little surprised when she saw this scene, and immediately she admired her young master even more than before.

Even the guards in the palace had to salute the young master when they saw him. The young master was really majestic.

Maybe it was because Zhao Yan had given orders before, or maybe it was because of Xiu’s trust. When the guards saw Xiu’er, they just looked at her. She glanced at him and let her go without any inspection.

Compared to Fang Xiu, who was familiar with the journey, Xiu’er had grown up and this was the first time she had left Fang Mansion so far away, and it was a place like Miyagi that was extremely solemn and sacred in her eyes.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the palace city, Xiu’er lowered her head and did not dare to look around. She followed Fang Xiu timidly, only occasionally raising her eyes to glance at the surrounding scenery.

Along the way, I also met many busy young eunuchs.

These young eunuchs didn’t know whose orders they got. Usually they didn’t have much reaction when they saw the civil and military officials. But when they saw Fang Xiu, they stood upright and saluted respectfully.

That attitude was like seeing their ancestors, the great eunuch Liu Cheng.

Fang Xiu never liked these eunuchs very much.

Of course, this is not to discriminate against these eunuchs due to their status or physical disabilities.

He just felt that after these eunuchs became physically disabled, they also became more or less mentally disabled, which always gave people a feeling of depression.

Moreover, once they meet someone who is weaker than themselves, they will break away from their depression or humble attitude and instantly become an arrogant person.

In other words, it is capricious and depends on others.

Essentially, most people in this world are like this.

Even Fang Xiu, who suffered from brain disease, became much more normal than usual after meeting Emperor Chu.

It’s just that these eunuchs were too obvious, making people very uncomfortable.

In contrast, the reason why the scholar-bureaucrats in the court hated these eunuchs was not only because the emperor easily believed the eunuchs’ one-sided words, but also for this reason.

Facing these eunuchs who were saluting, Fang Xiu waved his hands casually and ignored them.

After coming to the palace so many times, Fang Xiu was already very familiar with the road to Yangxin Palace. He could still find it without the help of little eunuchs.

However, when he walked to the Yangxin Hall, he suddenly remembered that this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess’s birthday was not made public, and the banquet was only held in a palace in the harem.

Because there were not many people participating, we just picked an uninhabited place where Emperor Chu usually went to enjoy flowers.

At this time, a young eunuch also saw Fang Xiu, guessed his intention, and hurriedly came to greet him. After saluting, he said respectfully: “Master Fang, are you going to attend the birthday banquet of Her Royal Highness the Princess?”

Fang Xiu glanced at him, He discovered that this person was the young eunuch who had been beaten up by him for lying to him before. A smile appeared on his face and he said teasingly: “So it’s you.” When

the young eunuch heard this, he lowered his head and smiled. Said: “It’s the little one. Last time, the little one had eyesight but failed to recognize Taishan. He offended Mr. Fang.

He even bothered Mr. Fang to punish him personally. He has deeply realized his mistake.

If Mr. Fang didn’t relieve his anger last time, he will not do it this time .

If Master Lao Fang makes a move, the younger one will punish himself.”

As soon as he finished speaking, without saying a word, he slapped himself.

While slapping him back, he said: “You bitch, you are too blind to recognize, and made you bump into Mr. Fang.”

According to common sense, the two people had a grudge before. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

But for the eunuchs in the palace, this was not the case.

Although the nobles outside, even if they are extremely powerful, cannot affect them, after all, they all rely on the emperor for food. To put it nicely, they are the emperor’s internal ministers.

But in fact, this is not the case. Even if the nobles cannot interfere with the affairs in the palace, they only need to put a little thought into taking care of things, or say hello to the real ministers in the palace.

It’s enough for powerless eunuchs like them.

What’s more, Lord Fang Xiufang is famous for being petty, cruel, and favored by His Majesty.

It is said that the last time the elders of the cabinet discussed matters, a small Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang was able to participate and even intervened. It can be seen that

The reason why I am living a good life now is just because others don’t think of me.

If one day someone is in a bad mood and suddenly remembers the original incident, just give him a few instructions and he will be in bad luck.

Thinking of this, the little eunuch moved his hands harder, slapped himself in the face, and muttered these words.

When Fang Xiu saw him, he was a little speechless.

In fact, after such a long time, he has almost forgotten that incident. Why should he do this?

“I have almost forgotten that incident. You don’t have to be like this. Just lead the way.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said casually.

When the young eunuch heard this, he stopped, with a flattering smile on his face, and bowed and said: “Master Fang, you have a lot, I really admire you.

This time, the birthday banquet of Her Royal Highness the Princess was held in Yongfu Palace. Let Master Fang lead the way.”

After saying that, he glanced behind Fang Xiu, and when he saw Xiu’er, he also had a flattering smile on his face and said, “My lord, please do the same.”

After that, he turned and walked towards the harem. , leading the way ahead.

It has to be said that in the palace, these young eunuchs have perfected their ability to observe words and expressions.

Even Fang Xiu couldn’t help but sigh when he looked at the little eunuch who turned around and said complimentary words from time to time.

It’s hard to be a human being!
