C41 (1/2)
The moment the old eunuch spoke, everyone knew that he was extraordinary. Although his words seemed kind, they contained a sinister tone that made even the Eight Flood Dragon Elephants not dare to act rashly.
Hong Yu was also deep in thought. The old eunuch's words were mindless and mindless, as if he was beating on Old Eighth. However, it contained a great deal of information. To some extent, it also showed the attitude of the Great Celestial Emperor.
”Duke Yu, you did a good job this time. Your Majesty, Long Liuyue, you're overjoyed. You specifically asked this commoner to instruct you to cultivate properly. In the future, I still need you to do some work.”
Suddenly, the old eunuch turned his gaze towards Hong Yu. His eyes were filled with encouragement and his tone was even more gentle. It was as if he wanted to build a closer relationship with Hong Yu and his attitude towards Old Eighth was completely different.
This attitude made many people vigilant. They noticed that Hong Yu had probably really obtained a saint's favour. Good days were coming, and even this old eunuch was showing goodwill.
”Humph!”
It was actually Ol 'Eight. He gave a cold snort and fiercely gouged Hong Yu and the old eunuch in the eyes. Then, he ferociously shook his sleeves and left in large strides. ”This king's body is not feeling well, so I'll be leaving first.”
The crowd was silent. They knew that he was angered by the old eunuch, so they no longer tried to pretend. They directly left after saying a few words.
The old eunuch's actions were clearly meant to embarrass him, but he was even more straightforward.
”Heheh, I'm about to leave too, I still have to report to His Majesty.”
The old eunuch looked at the departing back of the eighth brother and was not angry. Instead, his smile became even wider, and he opened his mouth wide like an old man who was about to harvest crops, ”That's right, Duke Yu, you are about to start a family. You are short on resources, if there is anything you need, send someone to tell this humble servant that this servant might be able to help out.”
Before he finished speaking, there was already a servant helping him lead the horse.
The iron hooves rose high into the air and the group of people once again gradually disappeared into the distance.
Looking at his back, Hong Yu fell into silence. Even now, he was still confused. He had no idea why this old eunuch would suddenly express his goodwill towards him.
Everyone was deeply shocked. This old eunuch was truly unfathomable. He directly forced away the Eighth Prince and then expressed his goodwill to Hong Yu. Did this mean that Hong Yu was really going to rise to prominence?
Was this the old eunuch's intention? Or perhaps, Emperor Hongwu wanted to send a message to everyone through him?
Countless people were silent and deep in thought, trying to decipher the hidden meaning behind this action of this mysterious old eunuch.
After three or four days of intense fighting, the end result of the Ceremony of the Succession was finally decided by a decree of the Hongwu Emperor.
At this point, everyone lost interest and didn't linger. Instead, they hurried to leave.
Hong Yu had not only maintained his position as a duke this time, but he had also been in the limelight many times. He had beheaded twenty-eight men, repelled thirteen princes, caused the eighth duke's face to be swept across the floor, and even found two strong allies. These news were simply too shocking.
After Hong Yu made a name for himself, he did not perform any surprising actions. He exchanged a few words with Li Mu Yue and Li Xiao. After agreeing on a time to meet them, he followed the crowd back to his courtyard.
The Celestial Emperor Hongwu had promised that if he could pass the Martial Competition, then he would be able to build a mansion and even give him a mansion. Now was the time to fulfill his promise.
He had to busy himself with the matter of opening a mansion to build his teeth.
”Mistress, I've been to the Internal Affairs Bureau. It's alright for them to do that, but they didn't cause any more trouble for us. They said that the mansion given to us by the Emperor could be delivered soon, and it's all because Mistress raised her eyebrows and raised her spirits, intimidating all the demons and demons in one go.”
In the courtyard, Little Chunzi stood respectfully behind Hong Yu, his face brimming with joy and excitement. He knew that the bitter days had finally come to an end.
In the past, he was just a lowly little eunuch who worked alongside Hong Yu and everyone rode on their heads. He often beat and bullied others, ate pickled vegetables, and did lowly jobs, not having a good day. Now, with a shake of her body, she had become a big red man by the side of 'Prince Yu'. Everyone curried up to her and went out to do some errands, and even the palace maids who used to speak to her without hesitation constantly looked at her with flirtatious eyes. The eunuchs and servants who had once bullied her also avoided her and avoided her.
However, he only got excited for a moment before calming himself down, and said with a solemn face, ”Mistress, although the Internal Affairs Bureau did not make things difficult for us, it seems that someone tried to take over our house and gave us an old mansion. I secretly asked around, but it seems like it was the Thirteenth Prince's men who did it, do you think?”
Looking at Little Chun Zi's gnashing face, Hong Yu secretly nodded. He knew that this was a miraculous change brought about by his sudden rise in status.
In the past, although Xiaochun Zi was loyal, he was not active, he was lifeless, and he did not have much energy to work with. But now that his status had skyrocketed and his life was going hot, there was hope.
Not only did he have to show his power and kindness, he also had to show others his hope. With hope and goal, he would naturally feel a sense of belonging. Otherwise, if one ate green vegetables and tofu everyday and lived lowly, doing things in a muddled and muddled manner, it was as if one ate and waited for death every day, who would truly return to their own hearts?
”Little Chun, you've become more and more capable as well. You actually know how to use words to probe for information?” From now on, the position of Prefecture Overseer will belong to you. ”
After figuring it out, Hong Yu gave Little Chun a big cake and then said thoughtfully: ”Don't worry, as long as we have a house, we'll be able to leave the city. As for the new house, we don't need to care about it at all. As for Old Thirteen, he's just playing some tricks. Jumping up and down doesn't hurt much, so we should move out as soon as possible.
”Crown Prince's Palace's general director?”
”Master is wise, we are always controlled in the palace, as long as we go out of the palace and settle down in our own comfort zone, then we will be able to rely on the influence of the world, and as for Old Thirteen, I heard that he was beaten to a pulp by Master during the martial arts competition, so I think he doesn't have a memory of it, he should be beaten up badly!”
”Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the mansion and have a look.” Hongyu was mentioned by Xiaochun Zi, ”An Yi”, and his heart was quite moved.
Since he was a child, he had lived in an impersonal palace. He had longed for the lives of ordinary people for a long time, so naturally, he was very happy to have his own residence outside the palace.
”Yes, Mistress. We will leave the palace now!”
