Chapter 404 (2/2)
Eunuch Yao's heart stutteredHe knew that the guesses in the Palace were not wrong, the Third Prince and Sir Fan junior were indeed so to touch the silver earned for the court, are you…encouraging me to corruption?”
The three of them had already entered the middle hallFan Xian and the Third Prince each sat to the side of thethese words, he gave a pained smile and said, ”Sir Fan junior, please don't make jokes atfor hi journey had indeed tired hiht you would be able to arrive earlierI had to wait for a while,” Fan Xian said as he casually shelled pu Fan Xian in shelling the pumpkin seeds
Eunuch Yao stared and suddenly felt his vision blurringThe ”brothers” on the high seat indeed looked very sie size and the other a shed companionably and explained, ”We had indeed arrived at the inn outside the city last night, but according to the rules, we could only enter the city today…this iovernor's s for not being agile”
He carefully watched Fan Xian's expression and found that this powerful young, as so red in court as to be purple, did not appear to be truly angryOnly then did he let go of his breath
In reality, as the eunuch i the imperial edict, the eunuch was like the Eantly travel the seven Roads and provincesEarlier in Xue Qing'shad shown full respect to Eunuch Yao from the PalaceHowever, he could put on airs where he wanted, except here in Hua Garden Eunuch Yao would never dare do so
Without eventhe fact that Fan Xian was an imperial envoy, just these two ”princes” identity and Fan Xian's poas enough to make Eunuch Yao behave hio Governor Xue Qing's norant to even such basic etiquette?”
He shook his head and said, ”What did the Eht about it and said with difficulty, ”…it'shas also been fined a year's salary?” Fan Xian raised his head and asked with great interest, however, the tone of his words seemed to be heavy with schadenfreude
Eunuch Yao chuckled and put up three fingers
”Fined for three years? Now my heart feels more balanced” Fan Xian smiled and threw the shell of a pumpkin seed”I did say that the Emperor is wise and kindHe would never have pitiful ave a forced s how to continue the sentence
Fortunately, Fan Xian i and difficult journey, why did so and capable eunuchs in the Palace?”
”Lao Dai had been training a few, but as you know, after that incident this h, he has recently been moved back out of pityThis tient, so naturally, I had to ht?” Fan Xian asked
Eunuch Yao s quite well in the Palace”
The Qing Kingdom's Palace was not quite the sadoainst eunuchsAfter the previous Eo, he further prevented eunuchs fro in state affairs, and the prohibition was very strictIt was difficult for eunuchs to have power, so they did not divide into multiple factionsOn the contrary, these eunuchs knew that the circuether
Every time Fan Xian interacted with the eunuchs, he truly did not see thee and evil peopleHe treated them as usual; he did not purposely try to curry favor or humiliate themHe was not warm to their face, and then turn around and stab them in the backWith these actions, the eunuchs veryas they are living well” Fan Xian couldn't help shaking his headThe eunuchs in Qing Kingdoular people were indeed quite pitifulPutting on a show of casualness, he said, ”Lao Dai did not e to train any…but, last year, that kid in the royal study, Hong Zhu, see Zhu…has already been moved to the Eastern Palace to be the deputy head eunuchIt was the E” Eunuch Yao answered carefully as everyone in the Palace knew that Hong Zhu had been sent away fros in front of the Ereed and dared to extend his hand for a bribe frohtlyAfter thinking for a while, he sighed”Perhaps it is for the bestIt is not appropriate for so when to push and when to retreat, not knohen to stop”
Too clever? This was clearly an insultEunuch Yao thought that the ru Zhu didn't seem stupid, so how could he dare to provoke Sir Fan junior? It looked like that kid would not be able to rise again in the Palace
…

After seeing off Eunuch Yao, Fan Xian led the Third Prince to the studyAfter a moment of silence, he quietly said, ”Do you understand why?”
The Third Prince thought for a whileAfter all, was said and done, he was still young and didn't understand the reason withinHe shook his head helplessly
”Right now it is the end of spring and the beginning of suhtly as he talked”We are about to go to HangzhouDuring the journey, I have to nan matter has pretty much been setAt most…the Palace will leave you by my side for a yearThat means, at the end of the year, we are sure to return to the capitalWhen the tiain, there will only be me and not you”
”Why?” The Third Prince asked with surprise
”There is no why” Fan Xian shtly”In the eyes of some people, perhaps I have a sly and unkind auraYou are a proper prince of the heavenly bloodlineIf you are with ht be contaminated with some bad habits”
”But…” The Third Prince anxiously said, ”following you to Jiangnan to learn was so father personally approved”
”Fa…the Emperor…” Fan Xian couldn't help but shake his head”If the erandchild, then the Emperor can only summon you back”
The Third Prince becaer was not like other grandrandson, rather, she preferred the Crown Prince and the Second Prince more
”Which is to say,” Fan Xian said, ”frodou and I…will not able to be by your side at all times”
The Third Prince raised his head and a ruthlessness, at odds with his childish face, appeared on face”Sir, don't worryI will live well and wait for your return”
”You're being childish again,” Fan Xian sly scolded”With the E to you?”
He slowly said, ”Only, from now on, you have to stand out…at least have the officials in court and the generals in the army know you and be used to you”
”Used to what?”
”Used to the fact that you are also a proper person and not just a snotty-nosed kid,” Fan Xian said coldly”Used to you…you are also a possibility”
The Third Prince had been with Fan Xian for half a year and was deeply ad beside Fan Xian was much more cheerful than the cold ate, he could only trust and only wanted to trust the things Fan Xian said
But he still asked, ”Sir, shouldn't the first move be to silently endure? You once said, when the wood becomes a forest, the ill surely destroy it”
”You are not yet a sky-reaching tree” Fan Xian sh this action was not respectful”Since the Enan, it is already impossible to hide youSince it is iht as well stand up behind you and see ind dares to blow at you”
The Third Prince scratched his head, not quite understanding
”I want to send a h Eunuch Yao's mouth” Fan Xian pulled back his hand and slowly closed his eyes”You, are the person I chose”
The Third Prince suddenly screwed up his courage and said, ”Even though the Crown Prince…but in the end, it is father's choice”
Fan Xian did not open his eyes, he only said quietly, ”The Eldest Princess has chosen your second brother, and the eh the Emperor has not chosen, in reality, un to choose, what is one more?”
