My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 347 The Most Favored Eighteen Princes of Xianyang Palace

Empress Afang cleansed her face and washed her face, and the rosewood wooden bed exuded a sleep-inducing woody fragrance.

The maid Ping'er, who was close to him, walked to the water basin with a silk towel and said respectfully:
"Recently, there are a lot of people in the respect room."

clap clap~

As if he didn't hear it, Ah Fang concentrated on washing his face. The water droplets were lifted up and then fell again, making circle after circle of ripples in the basin.

After receiving the towel from the lady-in-waiting, Ah Fang wiped his face, his voice came out from under the towel, and the timbre changed slightly.

"If you have nothing to do, take care of the Eighteenth Young Master."

The eighteenth son Ying Huhai now lives in Efang Palace and sleeps in the side hall next to the main hall.

Since the death of Concubine Hu, the youngest son of the First Emperor has been living here.

Ping'er lowered her head slightly, and said "Wei" with a little humility, no different from other maids and eunuchs in Efang Palace when they responded to the queen's order.

Since Ying Chengxun left Xianyang, the intimate master-servant relationship has become much purer, just master-servant.

Ping'er walked to the third hall on the left, the area is not big, only about ten square meters.

As soon as the door was opened, there were small rustling and creaking sounds, as well as a strange and unpleasant smell mixed with sour, smelly and fishy.

This room should not be called a hall, but a small hall that should only be called a house. It was originally the dressing hall where Empress Da Qin painted her eyebrows and printed her lips.

After the Eighteenth Prince moved to Efang Palace, the function of the dressing hall became to store all kinds of insects, bottles and jars for captive insects, and various insect food.

The refreshing and fragrant air inhaled from her nose turned into a foul and sour air, Ping'er didn't frown unconsciously like other court ladies and eunuchs, she held her breath.

Among the hidden guards, her martial arts are not high, but she is not the bottom candidate either. It is not a big problem for her to hold her breath for a while.

Picking up a jar of insects casually, Ping'er quickly walked towards the Eighteenth Prince's bedroom.

Although she couldn't smell the smell here because of her closed breath, she still didn't want to stay here for too long. She was very sensitive to this place psychologically, and the speed of closing the door was much faster than the speed of opening it.

Unconsciously, he slowed down, walked to the Eighteenth Prince's bedroom, and knocked on the door lightly.

"Enter."

Crisp and loud juvenile voice.

Pushing open the door and entering, Ping'er had a sweet smile on her face, and handed the clay pot in her hand to the beautiful court lady who came up to her.

"What did Sister Ping'er send me?"

Nine-year-old Ying Huhai smiled happily, trotted over, and couldn't wait to take the clay pot from the maid.

Although the boy's sleeping hall is less than a hundred meters away from the small hall where the insects are stored, it is very convenient whether you send someone to pick it up or pick it up yourself.But the queen ordered that apart from the close maid Ping'er, even the eighteenth prince himself could not enter the insect hall.

"The eighteenth son will know when he opens it."

Ping'er smiled slightly.

She didn't even open the clay pot, so she didn't know what insects she brought.

The young man covered the lid of the clay pot with his hands, and said a little coquettishly:
"No, Hu Hai asked Sister Ping'er to tell her. Uncle said it, and it's a surprise to be told by others."

Son...

Ping'er's eyes were much softer, and he regretted why he didn't take a look at the bug just now.

If she knew the species of insects in the jar, she would tell them straight now.But she who entered slowly and walked out in a hurry, could only smile at this moment.

"The Eighteenth Young Master himself found it even more surprising, and this is what Mr. Chang'an said."

"Then I'll open it after Sister Ping'er leaves. Will the surprise be bigger?"

Ping'er smiled and nodded, her smile became a little more natural.

She shifted her gaze to the side, and moved to a burly eunuch with a sallow complexion and a height of at least eight feet.

Other eunuchs wore loose linen long gray clothes, which were comfortable and convenient for eunuchs to serve people.

This tall eunuch was wearing a half-silk, close-fitting black eunuch uniform.There are many disadvantages of this kind of eunuch clothes, such as uncomfortable, sense of urgency and so on.

There is only one advantage - easy to move.

In Xianyang Palace, eunuchs wearing this kind of semi-silk close-fitting black eunuch uniform have an exclusive name-eunuch, which belongs to the respect room.

They don't need to serve people, their job is to record and protect.

"Get out."

The smiling bottle is sweet and authentic.

Gao Daeun frowned, not knowing how he offended the queen's personal maid.

He came from the respect room, and according to his status, he was a little taller than Ping'er, who was only a maid in front of him.

But Ping'er has the Queen's favorite buff, which makes Gao Daeun only suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:
"I am here to protect the Eighteenth Young Master under the order of Che Mansion Commander."

"Let Zhao Gao tell me personally."

How dare she call Master Che Fuling by his name!
Eunuch Gao was in doubt, in order to show his respect for Zhao Gao, he didn't dare to think of the word Zhongche Fuling in his heart, and he was always determined to be the Chefuling.

And the maid in front of him actually called Zhao Gao by his first and last name - usually only the superiors, the elders, could call him by his first name, which was a symbol of status.

Gao Daeun couldn't figure it out.

No matter how much the queen favors her, her status is still just that of a court lady, and Zhao Gao's status in secret is needless to say, but on the surface he is one of the nine ministers.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to Master Che Fu Ling!"

The tall eunuch shouted angrily.

"You want to show your loyalty, I will fulfill you."

Ping'er patted Ying Huhai's little head, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

There is only one leader in the respect room——Zhao Gao.

Through the respect room, Zhao Gao knew most of the secrets of Xianyang Palace, including the affairs of the first emperor's palace.

The respect room is responsible for providing security when the king of Qin is at his weakest. The person who can manage the room is the most trusted eunuch of the king of Qin in all dynasties.

Gao Daeun's face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was not a pleasant thing to be seen through his mind.

For Ping'er's verbal threat before leaving, Gao Daeun only treats him as a fart.What he was afraid of was the queen behind Ping'er, not Ping'er herself.

For a favored court lady, the biggest revenge is to file a complaint and kick him out of Efang Palace because of the queen's favor. This is the worst result.

He adjusted his mentality, continued to perform his duties, and protected the safety of the Eighteenth Prince, which belonged to the new duty of the Jingshifang.

——Each princess is equipped with an eunuch to protect the prince's safety. This is Zhao Gao's order, which has been carried out for several days.

Ying Huhai held the clay pot and put it aside casually, where it was already full of pots.

The rumors are false, the Eighteenth Prince doesn't like to play with insects... Gao Daeun thought.

From the first day he came to protect Ying Huhai, he had never seen this eighteenth son teasing insects.

step, step, step
The sound of hurried, rhythmic footsteps interrupted his thoughts, Yi Shi Lang Guan filed in, and the bronze long Ge Ge pointed at him.

Gao Daeun frowned, looking at the unusually beautiful Ping'er who entered the room last, with a sweet smile.

Why can she even command Lang Guan?

"The queen has an order, take it."

Ping'er smiled slightly.

Gao Daeun, who was very skilled and capable of killing Efang Palace, did not act rashly and was captured without a fight.

Compared with the eunuch's profound martial arts, the eunuch's loyalty is higher.Moreover, compared to resisting and then being killed, being expelled is undoubtedly a good result.

The empress favored this good girl... Gao Daeun was pushed and shoved to the outside of Efang Palace.

But after coming outside the palace, the Lang officials with weapons in their hands did not do what Eunuch Gao wanted.Untie him, let him go, but push him to the ground.

This is to be punished with a stick... The eunuch Gao Da raised his head vigorously and shouted loudly:
"I am the eunuch of Jingshifang, what are you going to do to me!"

The responsibility of the stick varies from mild to severe, ranging from slight injury to immediate death, and the eunuch Gao Da was a little panicked.

"Let you get what you want."

A sweet voice sounded, and the tall eunuch followed the prestige, and could see a thick wooden stick standing next to the little feet without boots.

Looking up again, it is Ping'er's smiling face.

"The queen has an order, and the ten sticks are responsible."

Seeing that it was the favored court lady who carried out the duties of the stick, the eunuch Gao Da eunuch's heart sank just now, how much strength can a little girl have?

The empress favors this good girl... Gao Daeun thinks so for the second time, and clearly recognizes Ping'er's position in Efang Palace.

The queen, who had never seen Eunuch Gao Da with her eyes, did not want Eunuch Gao to enter the palace, she just expelled him on the day he entered the palace, and would not make trouble at this time.

The only explanation is that all of this is the act of revenge by some extraordinarily beautiful maids in front of her.

——A man who can command and execute the staff, proves that the queen gave the order for revenge for the maid.

It would be fine to receive ten strokes of the cane, to rest for half a month, and to be favored by Che Fu, this is indeed what I wish... Eunuch Gao Da was thinking with some joy.

Suddenly, I felt that there was a majestic momentum behind me!

The martial arts of the person who stands behind him and executes the torture is not inferior to him!
This woman has a problem!
Bang~
Just as this thought flashed across his mind, severe pain came from his hip like a roaring tsunami, his pelvis was cracked, his flesh was ripped open, and his tight half-silk black eunuch uniform was stained with blood.

"what!"

He took some precautions, but the pain was still beyond his expectation, which made him let out a scream that didn't sound like a human voice.

Bang~
The second stroke of the stick came.

Gao Daeun's roar stopped abruptly, as if the second blow of the stick didn't hit him on the buttocks, but stabbed him in the mouth.

His eyes were protruding and bloodshot. He stood upright, crazily shaking and twisting, struggling like a Teddy in extreme heat.

"I am the eunuch! I am the eunuch!"

The status of eunuchs in Xianyang Palace is higher than that of officials who are mostly descendants of generals.

They were raised by the Ying clan since childhood, and their prospects in the future are mostly not as good as the gilded Langguan.

But in Xianyang Palace, when the first emperor was happy, it was recorded that they were guarded, and their lives were far more guaranteed than that of Lang Guan—only the first emperor could bestow death on them.

The two officials who were holding him down were almost overturned by him, and they hurriedly called their colleagues to help. Six officials ended up holding down the tall eunuch whose hands were bound.

Ping'er smiled as always, as if she didn't know the eunuch's speciality at all.

She held the heavy wooden staff that Lang Guan had to use his best to swing with both hands, and she lifted and lowered it very easily.

Bang~
repeat.

Bang~
Repeat.

Bang~
……

Stupid... Empress Afang sighed, the screams outside the palace made her feel a little helpless.

"Go and see if Hu Hai is scared, and bring him to me."

She softly ordered the maid in green to beat her legs and serve her.

The cry was so piercing that a young child would probably be terrified.

"only."

The maid in green stopped her hands, walked into the bedroom of the Eighteenth Prince, knocked on the door and entered.

Seeing the eighteenth son shrinking and hiding on the bed, surrounded by a circle of his own face pale, with a forced smile, but still asking for warmth, carefully comforting Ying Huhai's maids and eunuchs.

"Eighteen son, the queen is worried about you and wants you to go over."

Ying Huhai was wearing shoes, huddled in the brocade quilt, some stains were rubbed on the clean quilt, and he didn't dare to go out.

The maid in green didn't dare to take the eighteenth son out, so she tried to persuade him a few more words.Seeing that the Eighteenth Young Master flinched, he got under the quilt and could only report back first.

Outside the quilt, the eunuch who was serving Ying Huhai felt intimidated by the stern voice, and the court ladies were still consoling, but their expressions changed from warm smiles to panic, which seemed very discordant.

The eighteen sons hiding in the bedding cannot see their faces, they can remove their facial camouflage.

Inside the quilt, the nine-year-old boy was biting the quilt in his mouth, listening to the soft voice of comfort from outside, tears dripped from his eyes.

"Mother Concubine, Hu Hai won't make you angry anymore, Hu Hai will read "Li Sao" to you.

"I took a long breath to cover my tears, mourning how difficult my people's life is... Hu Hai is so scared..."

Ying Huhai whimpered very softly, like the sound of an insect grinding its wings.

The eunuchs and court ladies who were outside the quilt could not see the boy's face, and the boy could remove his facial disguise.

His father loved him very much.

He specially hired Mr. Yishi to catch insects for him, so he no longer had to do it himself.He can go to Zhangtai Palace to find his father at any time, and no one in Xianyang Palace will face him coldly, except for the cold-faced swordsman next to his father.

The queen mother dotes on him very much.

He vacated his own dressing hall as the insect hall, and sent many eunuchs and maids to serve him.Anything delicious and delicious is brought to him first, and he is given to drink, and he is almost responsive to his requests.I was worried that he was afraid to ask the maid to take him there immediately, and not letting him play with the insects by himself was to prevent him from playing with things and losing his mind.

Ying Huhai changed overnight from a little transparent son who only his uncle would remember him and came to play with him, to the most favored eighteenth son of Xianyang Palace.

The sound outside the futon disappeared.

The brocade quilt covering the Eighteenth Prince's body was slowly lifted, and the empress, who was of middle-class talent and far less beautiful than his biological mother, Concubine Hu, gently wiped away the tears on his face, and said softly:
"Hu Hai is not afraid, the queen mother is here."

He gently hugged Hu Hai and patted the young man on the back.

The boy was lying in Ah Fang's arms, hugging his mother tightly, as if frightened.

Ping'er, the queen mother's personal maid, would bring him insects on time every day, but she never remembered what insects she brought.

When the queen mother suspected that he was afraid, she would considerately send a maid to visit.She would also come to his bedroom when he dared not go to the ground, hug him and comfort him.

His mother and concubine never sent palace maids, they always went there in person.While reprimanding him for what it is like to cry and cry, and telling him not to cry, she hugged him and read "Li Sao" to him.

The queen mother's stroking is very comfortable, once, again, with a clear rhythm, just like a routine...

The concubine's caress was not very comfortable, and she lightened it up and down again according to the language and emotion of "Li Sao" she was reading.

"Aunt..."

Ying Huhai's voice was small.

"……Hey."

Thinking about something, while A Fang was in a trance, when he heard unfamiliar words, he reacted a little slowly, and was a little slow to respond.

These princes and princesses in the harem have always called her Queen Mother.

The boy raised a smiling face, with tears in his smile.

"Hu Hai is not afraid anymore."
