Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 29

Obviously the speaker was right in front of his eyes, but Qin Shu felt that those words sounded out of the sky, and he couldn't hear them clearly.Qin Shu even suspected that those words were actually imagined by himself.So he looked at Liu Qingrong and Yang Sushu who were smiling in front of him in a daze, and asked hesitantly and suspiciously: "Just now... Uncle Guo, what did you say?"

Liu Qingrong was handsome, and she behaved in a consistent manner.Hearing what Qin Shu said, he laughed and shook his head, looking very amiable, and said again without hesitation: "When Qingtang was 13 years old, there was already a steady stream of people who wanted to marry the Liu family came to ask, and they also found out about it. There are many people who came to visit the Liu family. Among those people, there are many nobles from the official family, business geniuses from the imperial business family, and the scholar Pian Pian who has read poetry and books, and many others, all of them are received by me."

"At that time, Qingtang was famous for being a master of both calligraphy and painting, and there was the signboard of the Liu family. It could be said that there were hundreds of girls in the family. At that time, I asked Qingtang how she would choose." Liu Qingrong asked Qin Qin while talking in detail. Shu sat down and poured him a cup of tea.

After Qin Shu heard the words just now, his soul was a little erratic, and he temporarily forgot about the respect and etiquette, and sat down to listen to him in a daze according to his intentions, holding a cup of tea that was stuffed in his hand.

"Qingtang laughed at me at the time and said that no matter which one you choose, it will be the same, because what they want is a daughter of the Liu family who is good at calligraphy and painting, but she is actually a stubborn little girl, and they may not be allowed to marry her. She will be sent back soon." Liu Qingrong took a leisurely sip of tea, "Then I said that she was not afraid of being sent back, but that she was not good enough to dislike those people."

"She nodded confidently and told me that the gentleness they pretended to be really awkward. No matter who the other party is, she wants to marry someone who treats her so well that she feels like laughing every day. Otherwise, I won’t marry and stay at home and let my brother and father take care of me.”

"That girl Qingtang is always smiling, but once something happens, it's really difficult to coax. I really don't think there is anyone in this world who can make her happy every day, so I jokingly bet with her, saying that if she If I can find that person and bring him to me, I will..." Liu Qingrong changed her tone, and said with a bit of sadness: "I will lose all my private money to her."

Qin Shu didn't know how to react.My mind was in a mess, and it took me a long time to sort out the cause and effect relationship of "the empress dowager brought him to the uncle, so he is the one the empress dowager wants to marry".

But once he came to this conclusion, he couldn't believe it even more. He has no advantages at all, and he has never done anything for the queen mother. Not only did he not make her feel happy, but he can't speak to make her angry, and he still has such a body , how can... how can I afford the word "marry" from the empress dowager.

Is the empress dowager joking?But the empress dowager and the uncle didn't look like they were joking just now.But if it's not a joke, why did the empress dowager fall in love with him?This seems to have become an unsolvable deadlock, no matter how you think about it, it is wrong.

Qin Shu stood there in a daze after hearing what he said, and Liu Qingrong quietly looked him up and down in the pose of drinking tea, and then whispered to Yang Sushu, who had been drinking tea calmly beside him: "Looking at him like this, he obviously hasn't reacted yet. .Qingtang is really capricious, throwing people in front of me without having a good talk with them."

"Qingtang should be hard to say for herself, so I want you, my brother, to do it for me. After all, she is a girl." Yang Su wrote like a crown, and smiled warmly.

"She will never be embarrassed." Liu Qingrong said, noticing Yang Sushu's smile, and a smile appeared on his handsome face: "Looking at Sushu, you look like a romantic young man. What to do? If that's the case, be careful of Qingtang getting angry."

Yang Sushu, who is a fake son and real woman, ignored him, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, if Qingtang hadn't received a sudden order to enter the palace later, in fact, she was planning to marry me from the beginning."

As soon as Yang Sushu's words came out, not only Qin Shu, who was far away from the sky, came to look at her energetically, but even Liu Qingrong couldn't hold back, and almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

"Qin Shu, Qingtang should have told you more or less about my situation." Yang Sushu was sure of what she said, and Qin Shu answered simply, "The Empress Dowager did mention something about Master Yang."

"I took the place of my dead brother, so I can't get married like this, and I can't get married to delay innocent women. At that time, Qingtang was annoyed by those people who came to propose marriage, so she secretly discussed with me and just married me directly. , At the same time, the matter of the two of us was resolved." When Yang Sushu spoke, his clean black eyes kept looking at Qin Shu.

Hearing these words, Qin Shu felt that the jealousy that he hadn't felt since he knew that Doctor Yang was a woman began to show up again.At this time, he didn't care whether the other party was a woman, as long as he thought that the empress dowager wanted to marry the other party, he would turn sour.

When you love someone deeply, even if she loves a flower, he will be jealous of that flower stealing her attention.

"Knowing that I am a woman and still caring so much, it can be seen that you like Qingtang very much, so that's fine. As long as you keep liking Qingtang as much as you do now, Qingtang will like you more and more. Qingtang is a very gentle person, you give As much as she has, she must pay you more, and she doesn't like to joke. Even if you don't believe it now, you will believe it in the future."

As a doctor, Yang Sushu is used to observing words and demeanor, and has already seen Qin Shu's problem, so her eyes softened, and she looked at Qin Shu who seemed expressionless, and taught him like a gentle sister:
"I have met you many times, and I have discovered some things. Qin Shu, I want to tell you, believe in yourself more, and trust Qingtang more. She will not be nice to someone casually, but once she is nice to someone It will continue to get better. Just now I discovered again that you are too nervous, whether it is dealing with the problems between you and Qingtang, or getting along with Qingtang. I can guess what you are thinking, It's nothing more than Qingtang's identity and her own identity, but she doesn't care, so please get used to not caring."

"What Qingtang wanted to say was conveyed to you from our mouths, do you understand?" Yang Sushu spoke in a soothing and gentle way, with bright eyes, which easily infected people, even Qin Shu, who had always been inexplicably hostile to her He listened unconsciously.After understanding what she meant by saying these words, Qin Shu couldn't help but feel ashamed of the dark psychology he had in his heart.

For the first time since he came to Liu's mansion, he relaxed his expression, stood up and bowed his head to Yang Sushu and Liu Qingrong.

"Qin Shu understands, thank you both for your suggestions."

Ever since he knew that he was coming to Liu's Mansion, he was nervous, nervous to see the people the Empress Dowager loved and cared about, fearing that they would have a bad opinion of him because of his habitual bad face.He was also afraid that if the empress dowager talked about this matter, her relatives and friends would not agree, which would embarrass the empress dowager, and she was also afraid that her identity and everything would embarrass her.

Maybe there is a guilty conscience.He felt that he was not good enough for the empress dowager, but he was reluctant to refuse. Being so close to the empress dowager was like destroying a famous painting. Now seeing people who collect and cherish this famous painting, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

But how lucky he was to meet such two enlightened and intelligent people.Qin Shu understood that it was impossible for them not to have no objection to his status as an eunuch, but because they cared too much for the empress dowager, they only hoped that she would feel happy and that someone who cared about her as much as they did would be by her side every day, so they decided to He didn't seem to care much about his identity.

Such a gentle attitude is much better than he imagined.Thinking about what Doctor Yang said, Qin Shu immediately thought of the pair of sleeves that the Empress Dowager made for him, and the disbelief and uncertainty in his heart suddenly disappeared.His heart is like the grass growing in the crevices of the rocks, finally firmly grasping the ground under his feet.

If the empress dowager thinks, he will follow her will to make her happy and let her get what she wants after risking his life.Some people say that those who work as servants in the palace are very timid and afraid of death, because those who are courageous and not afraid of death cannot survive in the palace. The servants in the palace, especially eunuchs without roots, are like weeds on the ground Those who are alive are timid and afraid of death, so they can be cautious with every step they take.

Qin Shu felt that he was the most ordinary slave in this huge imperial city, and he was indeed timid, because he kept the Queen Mother in his heart for so long and dared not touch her.But what he was most afraid of was not death, but the unpredictable heart of the empress dowager, now that he saw clearly, he was not afraid of anything.

"Emotional Qingtang is for us to enlighten her." Liu Qingrong listened quietly for a while, clapped her hands and smiled, then glared at Yang Sushu again, "Marry you? You two little girls are so fantastic! See if your father finds out, you both have to copy the art of war hundreds of times."

"When my father asked me to entertain those sons and young masters, he hid himself and watched secretly. Another time, in order to test a family of sons, he personally led a group of guards to scare them. Neither father nor daughter were satisfied. Yes, later my father simply kicked everyone out and forbade them to come again. Even if Qingtang hadn't been summoned into the palace, my father's pickiness would probably not have married her, let alone you, a tomboy."

Yang Sushu let him babble, but she smiled and said nothing, acting indifferently.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Liu Qingrong felt bored and turned her gaze back to Qin Shu who was quietly in the background.

"Qin Shu, do you want to hear the embarrassing things about Qingtang when she was a child?" Seeing that Qin Shu is so afraid to get close to his sister, and he is talking about the empress dowager, it's because he doesn't know much about her. Well, the distance can be shortened.Liu Qingrong found an upright reason for her behavior of betraying her sister.

Embarrassing things about the empress dowager when she was a child?Qin Shu couldn't resist this temptation, and silently lifted the teapot to refill tea for Uncle Guo, expressing his interest.

"Ahem, let me tell you something first. It happened when she was seven years old. I was five years older than her, and I was twelve at the time. One day she insisted on going to the street, and I was forced to Helpless, she took a few people to accompany her to the street. Who knew that she didn't actually want to go shopping, but went to Foyun Temple. She didn't know where she heard that the empress, that is, our eldest sister, was going to visit Yunfo Temple Shangxiang. The eldest sister has just entered the palace for a year, and our family has no female relatives, so it is difficult to bring Qingtang into the palace to meet her. Qingtang, who has not seen the eldest sister for a year, probably misses her eldest sister very much, so she wanted to sneak in to see her. I was slipped away by her without paying attention, and I found out that she planned to come here in the first place when I went to Yunfo Temple."

"It was nothing at first. The queen was burning incense inside, and the surroundings were heavily guarded. She was a little girl and couldn't get in. I thought she would come back after wandering around outside, but she was so capable. I found her." She was sitting on the ground in a disheveled state and crying." Liu Qingrong laughed unkindly as she thought of the two black and white crying little girls with disheveled buns and ashes on their faces. "Qin Shu, you can't imagine what happened to her."

"According to the officers and soldiers who caught her, she found a dog hole on the outer wall of the back door of Yunfo Temple, and she was about to get in. But when she was a child, she was greedy for food, and the whole person ate round and round, with a thick waist She was stuck there. She struggled when she was stuck there and was caught by the officers and soldiers on patrol. She had no choice but to find someone who was stuck there, and she couldn’t hurt her. Knock on the wall, knock that dog hole into a big hole, and then pull her out."

"It's good for her, she feels ashamed, and she refuses to say that she is the young lady of the Liu family. The officers and soldiers want to accuse her of crimes, so she just plays tricks and sits on the ground crying at the top of her voice. While crying, she says that she is bullied as a little girl." Half of the hair is loose, the clothes are black and gray, and the shoes have fallen off. Sitting on the ground and crying, the eyes are swollen, like a little cat..."

Listening to the great achievements of the empress dowager when she was a child with excitement, Qin Shu felt something collapsed deep inside while being curious.

"Speaking of which, as Qingtang's friend, I naturally know a lot, so let's join in the fun." Yang Sushu slowly put the cup away, and began to expose his friend's background.
