”Alright …”
Jin Chupei touched the slumbering Sun Jinzi, he could not help but chuckle, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then reluctantly left.
When Jin Chupei came back in again, the sky was already gloomy and Sun Jinzi was no longer able to sleep.
”What's wrong? Wasn't I sleepy?” Jin Chupei was a little confused, the wife on the bed was obviously still sleeping soundly.
”I want to hug you and sleep.” Once Sun Jinzi's hand touched Jin Chupei's body, he immediately rolled into his embrace.
”Zi Er...” Jin Chupei's voice was low, the woman in his embrace was soft and sweet, causing him to immediately react.
”I …”
”What's the matter with you?” Sun Jinzi only wanted to hug his tight waist and sleep close to his broad chest.
Jin Chupei probed for a while, but Sun Jinzi had already fallen asleep.
She was good.
However, this way, it was not bad. There was no need to think too much into it in order to avoid too much trouble …
Jin Chupei had always wanted to keep Sun Jinzi away from trouble, but there were some things that he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
After daybreak, just as the morning clouds were being dyed yellow by the golden light, an imperial edict was issued.
”According to the heavens' will, the Emperor has decreed that the Prince Qi and the Princess Qi listen to the edict …”
On the other hand, Jin Chupei and Sun Jinzi seemed to be slightly more relaxed with the decree that Du Decai had sent over.
However, just as their relaxed state of mind passed, the two of them fell into a wave of confusion.
This was because the content of the imperial edict made it difficult for people to be happy.
When the two of them heard the imperial edict, they couldn't help but reveal their depression and frustration.
Jin Chupei was still alright, he was able to control his emotions, but Sun Jinzi had already become completely impatient.
It was also the decree that Du Decai had come to announce. He did not like to talk about these things, and was also someone of the former empress, so he would not spread what he had seen or heard to the emperor.
Otherwise, if this matter were to spread to the palace, no matter which master it was, it would be enough to make Sun Jinzi suffer.
”Thank you, Eunuch Du.” Jin Chupei supported his and helped his up.
”I won't be a servant.” Du Decai was originally modest and was always nice to Jin Chupei with his heart, how would he dare to accept his respect?
”Eunuch, you've worked hard this time. I wonder if my mother …” Jin Chupei hadn't seen his mother in the Cold Palace for a long time. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that the emperor had listened to someone and sealed off the place.
If he wanted to go to the cold palace to see Li Jingyu, he would have to obtain the order badge personally given to him by the Emperor, or else he would have to take the risk and enter.
However, in the past, he had snuck in too many times, and it resulted in Jin Chuyi arranging some palace maids who were skilled in martial arts in her palace. This way, he would be able to avoid the guards outside the cold palace and not be able to avoid the palace maids.
They were usually fine and would not leave his mother's side. They would usually go in and out together to monitor her.
”plum seed was living quite well in the Cold Palace. The last time I saw her, she was in front of Buddha, burning incense to worship Buddha. He had been copying scriptures all day and burning incense was also very suitable for this.”
Du Decai was the steward of the palace, there would always be a chance to walk towards the Cold Palace.
Even if he could not talk to her on the surface, there were many things that he could still see through.
Hearing that her mother actually believed in the Buddha, Jin Chupei could not help but be surprised. Of course, he was also happy.
Men were unreliable, and people had to believe in something.
”In that case, thank you Eunuch Du.”
He still didn't know why Du Decai would help the mother and son pair, but Li Jingyu had said before that the Eunuch Du was extremely trustworthy, so he was very obedient and trusted him.
And it was very obvious that Du Decai did not disappoint him.
”This is a small token from our Prince. I hope Eunuch Du will not mind it.” Sun Jinzi prepared a gift for entering the palace a long time ago and personally handed it over to Du Decai.
”No …” ”No, no... Du Decai bent down immediately, his face had an expression of being overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
He did not seek any benefits from it for the sake of the Prince Qi.
He wanted to repay his debt of gratitude. Back then, when he had just entered the palace, he was just a small personal attendant who worked in the imperial kitchens. Every day, there was an inexhaustible supply of food.
Everyone knew that he was easy to bully, but anyone with a bit of power and reliance liked to take advantage of him. Sometimes, when he went to bed at night, there would be someone playing with him on Chase's Shop, they would lie on his body, using their broken roots to poke him, and although they couldn't enter, it would still hurt. Of course, the pain in his body was another aspect, the most important aspect was the pain in his heart, and that was something he couldn't forget even if he wanted to, it was something he could never forget.
”What's wrong with you? Your father has thought highly of you.”
That was how the little steward had handled him, insulting him with his words.
He had been so ashamed and angry, so miserable, that he had wanted to throw himself into the well in the backyard and die.
However, his luck was good when he met the mama who had ordered dishes for the plum seed, who was still the empress at that time.
She held him.
He was in a daze at the time, so he told the mama about his situation.
He did not expect that plum seed would also come out and hear it. At that time, he was so scared that he was half dead, lying on the ground and not able to get up for a long time. He still remembered how he kowtowed with all his strength, kowtowing non-stop until the ground was covered in blood.
plum seed finally opened his mouth.
”Although the words you have said are a little dirty in This Palace's ears, he is only a pitiful person. How about this, if you meet the This Palace here, consider yourself lucky.
At that time, everything in the harem would be decided by the plum seed. Once she gave the order, he would immediately rise in rank.
Of course, promotion was just a small benefit.
It was as if the people of the palace knew that he had fallen into the plum seed's eyes. From then on, no one would deal with him openly or secretly.
He finally had some confidence, he became quick-witted, and saw that the general director was also very fond of him, so he gave him a few more chances. With the plum seed, he could finally rise up smoothly, all the way until today …
