As a eunuch, I don't want to live forever

Chapter 17 Xiao Xiangning

Such is the environment of the harem.

The older you are, the older you are eligible.

Although Chen Luo is only 28 years old this year, he has experienced the three dynasties of Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Meiji, and Emperor Tianshou.

Properly the eunuch of the three dynasties.

In addition, he is still a master of the first rank.

So no matter how peaceful he is at ordinary times, his status in the harem has gradually risen over time.

In the past few years, many newcomers have been added to the harem.

These newcomers also knew that there was a chief manager of the library in the harem, and he was the first-rank eunuch, Eunuch Chen.

I also heard the legend of how Eunuch Chen became a martial arts master step by step from a little eunuch with no talent for martial arts.

Therefore.

After these little eunuchs came in, they would basically go to the library to take a sneak look at the legendary Eunuch Chen.

They are not afraid either.

Because this Eunuch Chen is much friendlier than the one in the legend.

Occasionally, when Eunuch Chen found out, he just raised his head and smiled slightly, continuing to read his book.

Sometimes you can also see him playing that very strange boxing style.

Chen Luo also had no choice.

He didn't understand what the problem was...

Why is he so low-key, and his reputation in the harem is getting bigger and bigger?
This is against my original intention!
Zhao Chong told Chen Luo that it was because he was too friendly and aloof from the world that he was so famous in the harem.

As for the newcomers going to Zangshu Pavilion, it was also because Chen Luo never stopped them, so they felt that Chen Luo didn't care, and they became more and more presumptuous.

"Your character, you can be said to be unique in the harem.

Everyone is fighting, and everyone is thinking about how to climb up.

But you are the only one who can't wait to throw away all the opportunities that fall on you. If you don't say anything else, you are now a first-rank master at any rate,

If you are willing, a eunuch in charge is indispensable, right?
As a result, now he is just the chief manager of the library, and there is no one around him who can order him. It's a pity to think about it! "

Zhao Chong has been doing well over the years.

He has become the head of the imperial dining room.

And because of him, Chen Luo has somehow gained some weight in recent years.

There are also some reminders in the system from time to time.

【You ate a not very healthy dinner. Although it looks a bit rich, with fish, meat, wine and chicken legs, it's not good!
Your health is affected!
PS: A reasonable and healthy diet is the secret to longevity, although it seems to be of no use to you...]

of course,

Chen Luo never listened to this kind of suggestion.

"Everyone has their own pursuits. Your pursuits lie in fame and wealth, in yellow and white things, but for me, these are not what I want, so it's not a pity if I don't get them."

Chen Luo laughed.

"Then what are you asking for?"

Zhao Chong asked.

Chen Luo didn't answer.

What he asks, they will not understand.

Zhao Chong didn't ask any more questions, but gave Chen Luo a suggestion. After returning home, put up a sign outside the Scripture Pavilion, prohibiting irrelevant people from approaching, so that those little eunuchs would not mess around.

Chen Luo thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense.

Just go back and try.

"By the way, why is there no news from Wu Hai recently? Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, he has some opportunities recently... I heard that he is going to be promoted to the deputy head of the respect room. Although he is a deputy attendant, it can be regarded as a bit of a reward after suffering."

Chen Luo nodded.

The deputy attendant is a sixth-rank eunuch.

It is really an opportunity to reach this point.

You must know that Wu Hai was just a little eunuch under Min Zhaoyi before, and now he can get to this position step by step, which shows that it is not easy.

Chen Luo was still happy for him.

Leaving from the imperial dining room, he took a handful of melon seeds with him.

Today is breezy.

Wind and sunshine.

I have nothing to do, how about eating melon seeds and listening to music?
I heard that a group of dancers came to the palace recently, all of them have graceful figures and skin like fat.

Most of the time at the Imperial Garden.

Chen Luo felt the need to criticize them.

The atmosphere of extravagance in the entire harem.

It's just that Chen Luo was disappointed.

The imperial garden was empty, and there was no dancer or anything.

Not even a palace maid and eunuch was seen.

Ok?
Instead, I saw a little girl.

Looks like six or seven years old.

With two ball heads tied.

Wearing a blue court dress.

Not to mention the looks, it's really cute.

She was sitting by the lake, staring at the lake, looking like she wanted to catch a fish.

"I've never seen this little girl before. Since when did the harem have this little girl?"

Chen Luo thought.

He slapped his head.

He knew who it was.

The only daughter of Emperor Tianshou, the darling of the harem: Princess Xiangning.

Chen Luo saw it once in the back garden two years ago, when the Heavenly Emperor was not the Empress.

The child is held by her side,

I haven't seen you for two years, but Princess Xiangning is so old?

It's getting cuter.

If this punches her, she will cry for a long time, right?
Chen Luo thought about it, looked again, and froze for a moment.

What about people?

oh I saw it……

In the lake too!

Chen Luo finally realized that this was drowning!

He moved around, flew towards the lake, grabbed Princess Xiangning, and returned to the shore.

Put Princess Xiangning on the ground, and pressed her stomach a few times.

The lake water kept gushing out of her mouth, and when she came to catch her breath, she couldn't help crying anymore.

This cry finally caught the attention of the eunuchs and court ladies.

Even the members of the Shangwu Bureau on patrol came over.

When it was heard that Princess Xiangning had fallen into the lake and was rescued by Chen Luo, it didn't matter whether it was the Martial Arts Bureau, the eunuch, or the maid.

All of their faces turned completely white.

There was despair in his eyes.

Chen Luo saw all this in his eyes, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Finally chose not to see them.

This is the harem.

He's just a little eunuch.

What can be done?
……

On the day Chen Luo returned to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion,

Feng Hansheng and Gu Benchun came in a panic, bringing news: "Princess Xiangning fell into the water, His Majesty was furious, and all the maids and eunuchs who were on duty in the Imperial Garden that day were killed with sticks, not even the members of the Martial Arts Bureau who were on patrol. escaped..."

Chen Luo didn't say anything after hearing this.

Just nodded.

In the past few years, I am used to seeing life and death.

The fluctuation in my heart was not as big as I imagined.

only……

Chen Luo remembered the desperate eyes of those eunuchs and court ladies today.

he thinks.

At that time, if I pleaded for Princess Xiangning, would there be a chance to save this group of people?

With this thought, Chen Luo threw it away.

Things are not as simple as he thought,

The moment Xiangning fell into the water, the fate of this group of eunuchs and maids was already doomed...

no one can change

At least his current ability is not up to it.

"By the way, there is news that His Majesty knows that you have saved Princess Xiangning, and said that he will reward you!"

Gu Benchun said.

Chen Luo nodded.

It's a reward... then it's a reward.

As a eunuch who can live forever, it is really difficult to have anything to make him interested.

What Chen Luo didn't expect was that.

This time, things are still a little rich.

Even the little eunuch himself was moved!
