Chapter 368: Palace Anecdotes
Qian Qian was a little surprised when he heard Wu Wanwan's words. He stopped and looked at her face.
The little girl has grown up, and there is a sense of pride between her brows after all these years of experience in the palace.
In addition, she has lived two lives, and her eyes show the indifference of someone who has seen through the world.
But at this moment, her brows were furrowed and her eyes were full of grievance, tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes and she was about to cry when she spoke.
"You," Qian Qian reached out and rubbed her head, "What's wrong? Don't tell me, can the people around me be bullied?"
"His Majesty."
A strange and childish voice sounded. Qian Qian turned her head and saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old with big blinking eyes and chubby cheeks kneeling down to her and bowing to her.
"Your Majesty," the little girl saluted in a very standard manner, but her face was puffed up.
As soon as Qian Qian saw this slightly plump girl, he wanted to pinch her chubby little face.
I couldn't help but feel better. "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty, I was transferred to Fengqi Palace to serve my younger sister half a year ago. My name is Tao'er."
"Tao'er."
Looking at the little girl's pink and tender face, her bulging cheeks really do look like a chubby little peach.
"Well, that's a good name."
He looked at Wu Wanwan with a smile, and Wu Wanwan was embarrassed to lower her head.
Qian Qian asked Tao Er to stand up. "Tell me, what happened in the palace? What made your younger sister feel so wronged?"
Tao'er raised her little head, took a deep breath, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen recruited a group of female guards with good martial arts skills from the martial arts world to strengthen the protection of the harem."
"At that time, General Lin told Eunuch Chen that the female guards were responsible for the several Lords Jiang and the Clothing Bureau. The female officials were mostly palace guards."
Qianqian glanced at Wu Wanwan and then at Taoer lovingly, and listened to the little girl continue talking with a smile.
Wu Wanwan quietly stepped back to help His Majesty arrange hot water, and asked the palace maid to serve His Majesty hot tea and snacks.
Tao'er looked at the snacks and swallowed her saliva. She immediately restrained her gaze and continued to speak seriously, "Those female guards were quite honest when they first arrived at the palace."
"But ever since that woman named Zhuo Jun became the head of the guards, she has started to find fault with Sister Wan everywhere."
"She loves to drag down Sister Wan to elevate herself. Sister Wan has a lot on her plate and doesn't want to argue with her."
"But she actually felt that Sister Wan was afraid that she would push her limits."
"Yesterday," Tao'er took a deep breath as if she was extremely angry, "she even came to Fengqi Palace to mock Sister Wan. If it weren't for Sister Wan's stubbornness, she would have been punished according to the palace rules."
"She still,"
Qian Qian raised his hand to interrupt Tao Er and looked at Wu Wan Wan jokingly, "Since when did the people around me have to worry about what they do?"
Wu Wanwan lowered her eyes and handed Qian Qian a piece of dessert. "Your Majesty, I am not worried about anything else."
"It's just that Zhuo Jun and the others were brought here by Eunuch Chen. These days, Eunuch Chen has been re-planning the palaces in the imperial palace."
"We have done a good job of rectifying the various departments. In less than a year, I don't know how many people we have offended."
"Eunuch Chen is already being watched by countless eyes. The female guards he recommended must not make any mistakes again."
Qian Qian raised an eyebrow, "Your concerns are not unreasonable, but you are my face."
With just one sentence, Tao'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wu Wanwan with a smile.
Wu Wanwan's eyes were sore and she knelt on the ground, "Yes, I will obey your majesty's orders."
"Well," Qian Qian stretched and drank a sip of tea, "Please help me take a bath. I want to have a good sleep."
Soaking in the comfortable hot water, money is too lazy to ask the system.
[Tongzi, what's the situation with Zhuo Jun? ]
The system sneered, [That Zhuo Jun, so hypocritical. ]
[She is a Jianghu person. She is quite good at martial arts but her personality is not very good.]
[She keeps saying that women should help each other, but in fact, all her personalities are based on trampling on the dignity of other women. ]
[She also looked down on the women in the harem, and even more so on lowly servants like Wanwan who volunteered to be slaves.]
[So, every time I see Wanwan, I like to mock her for her lowly status.]
[They also said that he was willing to be a lowly person. ]
Money money...
[Oh, so she means that servants who serve the ruler of a country are willing to be lowly? ]
[Tongzi, when did our palace become so tolerant? ]
The system was helpless, [Well, it's because Chen Hong has had a hard time during this period. ]
[Now the departments, personnel and even office locations in the palace have been completely reorganized. ]
[During this process, Chen Hong offended many people. ]
[As Wu Wanwan said, countless people are waiting to catch Chen Hong's fault.]
[If you hadn't sent secret guards to protect Chen Hong, and if he hadn't been in the palace for a long time and had a good foundation, he might have been assassinated.]
Qian Qian closed his eyes, feeling helpless. [This is the palace we have cleared many times.]
[If we haven't cleared it out once, there might be a bloody storm in the palace this time.]
[That is,] the system suddenly became proud, [Money, money, I don’t know what will happen in the future.]
[But what I can be sure of is that Chen Hong's reintegration of the palace this time has no problems at present. ]
[It was relatively successful.]
[Well,] Qian Qian opened his eyes and came out of the bathtub, [but he is also a mortal, it is impossible for him to be perfect.]
[After a few days of rest, I went to various places in the palace. 】
[This is possible,] the system sighed, [Alas, I have now returned to the time before liberation.]
[This melon can only be eaten in person. ]
Qian Qian curled his lips, [It’s okay, as long as I can eat the melon. ]
After thinking about it, I felt that her family leader still needed some encouragement. [After all, I can’t do without you. ]
system……
[Wow, little empress, I really am,]
[Okay,] Qianqian felt uncomfortable when she heard him whimpering, [I’m sleepy.]
system……
【Oh. 】
The next morning, Wu Wanwan personally went to the imperial kitchen to arrange breakfast for His Majesty.
Li Huan had also received the news that His Majesty had returned to the palace, and had sent a message to Wu Wanwan early on, asking her to go to the palace to prepare new food for His Majesty.
Wu Wanwan was so happy that she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Who am I to be so rude so early in the morning, it's you, a bitch."
Wu Wanwan...
On normal days, she would probably ignore Zhuo Jun's ridicule and quickly leave to do her own thing.
But this time, he paused and turned to look at Zhuo Jun, who was dressed as a guard, and shouted angrily, "How dare you."
Zhuo Jun was startled by the roar of the soft bun.
Wu Wanwan stepped forward and said, "The hierarchy in the palace is strict. Zhuo Jun, you are just a captain of the guards, with no rank and no achievements. Who gave you the courage to speak rudely in the palace?"
"Someone is coming."
Upon hearing this, several royal guards who were patrolling nearby quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Wu Wanwan.
"Mr. Zhuo, you have spoken disrespectfully to me and behaved inappropriately in the Imperial Palace. You will be beaten with thirty military sticks, expelled from the Palace and will never be employed again."
"You, you dare,"
Zhuo Jun pointed a shaking finger at Wu Wanwan, and his lips turned pale instantly.
This, this is not right.
Although Wu Wanwan is close to the empress, she usually ignores me.
The reason why she was so popular in the female guards was because she dared to challenge people close to His Majesty.
This shows that she is not afraid of imperial power and dares to think and speak out, and she is capable of both provocation and settlement.
But, but today, you are just a palace maid and a servant.
Why did he change his personality?
Before Zhuo Jun could say anything else, he was gagged by the Imperial Guards and dragged away for execution.
"how?"
Qian Qian tilted his head to look at Chen Hong, who had an unpleasant expression on his face. "Eunuch Chen has made a mistake this time."
