Chapter 1254

~7 min read 1,213 words

With one shout of "Godfather," the manager eunuch's attitude toward Shen Xian was obviously different.

But regarding this, everyone couldn't be envious. Can you be shameless?

Soon they were settled in. Shen Xian naturally lived in the best place, a separate room, while others were four people to a room.

However, if we talk about who lived the most comfortably, it was Ye Changqing.

The Imperial Kitchen was usually empty, and it covered a large area. At this time, Ye Changqing was lying on a lounge chair, enjoying the service of Fairy Baihua while eating the small snacks made by Zhu Wu. That life, let alone how comfortable it was.

A night of silence. Early the next morning, the imperial palace began to get busy. Palace maids and eunuchs performed their duties and did their work step by step.

Zhao Zhengping and the others were naturally engaged in the most marginal work.

Although they gave gifts, the manager eunuch did give them some preferential treatment, but obviously, it was impossible for them to reach the sky in one step like Shen Xian.

"Let's go, kid. I'll take you to see Concubine Huagui."

After arranging the affairs of Zhao Zhengping and the others, the manager eunuch turned to Shen Xian and said. Hearing this, Shen Xian nodded respectfully.

"You remember, after going to the Concubine's palace, be smart. You must understand what you should know and what you shouldn't. Keep your head clear at all times. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to contact me."

"I know, Godfather."

"Hey..."

He was still carefully reminding Shen Xian along the way. Watching the two walk away, Zhao Zhengping and Wan Xiang, who were washing clothes, looked at each other.

Wan Xiang muttered.

"Should I also try a 'Foster Father'?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

If he wanted Wan Xiang to call, he really couldn't call it out.

In a flash, three days passed. In these three days, the Daoyi Sect members entered the palace one after another.

Some became eunuchs, some became palace maids; anyway, the methods were varied.

Now walking in the palace, the senior brothers and sisters would occasionally meet, and everyone remained calm and pretended not to know each other.

Now, except for Lin Luochen, all the other disciples have probably entered the imperial palace, just waiting for the order from Qi Xiong and the others.

As for who was doing the best, it was still Shen Xian.

With one "Godfather," he reached the sky in one step and was later arranged to be by Concubine Huagui's side. I don't know how this kid did it, but he soon gained Concubine Huagui's favor and was highly valued.

Now he is already the chief eunuch in the Concubine's palace.

"Junior Brother Shen Xian has actually already seen the Dayuan Emperor."

At night, Zhao Zhengping and the others gathered in the room and talked.

"What can be done about that? Why don't you also go and worship a foster father?"

"No rush, wait for the orders from the Sect Master and Master."

Zhao Zhengping curled his lips. I worship a fart; if I wanted to worship, I would have done it long ago.

But soon he frowned again.

"Why has there been no news from this kid Xu Jie? Has he entered the palace at all?"

"Logically speaking, with Senior Brother Xu Jie's ability, he should have entered the palace long ago."

"I have also asked around, but there is no news of Junior Brother Xu."

"This is strange."

Now, except for Lin Luochen and Xu Jie, everyone else has been confirmed to be in the palace.

Originally, Xu Jie should have been the one least likely to have problems, but now there is no news for a long time, and even Zhao Zhengping feels strange. What is this kid doing?

He wouldn't have gone to the brothel again, would he?

But thinking about it, he felt it was impossible. Although this kid is unreliable, he would definitely not make mistakes in major matters.

"Let's keep an eye on it."

"Good."

Everyone was concerned about the whereabouts of Xu Jie and Lin Luochen, and early the next morning, Shen Xian followed Concubine Huagui to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

They hadn't been there for several days, mainly because the relationship between Concubine Huagui and the Empress Dowager was tense, and there was no Empress in the Dayuan Empire's harem now.

Several concubines were eyeing this, and Concubine Huagui, who was deeply favored by the emperor, naturally became the most powerful competitor.

But the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Huagui and wanted to support another concubine to the top, so the relationship between the two can be imagined.

But this surface work still had to be done. Even if she didn't like it, she still had to go to pay respects.

Only taking Shen Xian into the Empress Dowager's bedroom, while walking, Concubine Huagui whispered instructions.

"Don't speak when you go in later, just follow the etiquette. If the Empress Dowager asks you anything, you don't need to answer, but remember not to contradict her."

"The Concubine can rest assured, this small one knows."

"Hmm."

Soon the two arrived at the main hall. The Empress Dowager was already sitting on the main seat. Concubine Huagui bowed respectfully, and the Empress Dowager just answered in a faint voice.

Then her eyes glanced at Shen Xian behind her, and she sneered.

"Has the Concubine found a new love?"

"Just a personal eunuch."

"Raise your head."

Hearing this, Shen Xian could only raise his head helplessly, but at a glance, Shen Xian was completely stunned.

It wasn't because of the Empress Dowager, but because of a young man beside the Empress Dowager. Isn't that Xu Jie? Why is he in the Empress Dowager's palace?

The two looked at each other. Just now, because Shen Xian was lowering his head, Xu Jie didn't recognize him.

At this moment, looking at each other, both were a little confused for a while. What is the situation?

As for the Empress Dowager, she didn't notice anything, looked around casually, and said calmly.

"He looks handsome, but you must learn the rules of the palace well, so you don't know when you die."

"This small one understands."

This was using Shen Xian to beat Concubine Huagui. Shen Xian quickly lowered his head and said.

He didn't care how the Empress Dowager and Concubine Huagui were now; he only wondered why Xu Jie was here?

Was he also recruited as a eunuch to enter the palace? But why was he assigned to the Empress Dowager's palace?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave."

Without a direct conflict, the Empress Dowager waved her hand, signaling that Concubine Huagui could leave.

Shen Xian took the opportunity to turn around and secretly looked at Xu Jie. He saw the Empress Dowager stand up, and Xu Jie quickly stepped forward to support her. When the two touched, the Empress Dowager's eyes were clearly filled with peach blossoms.

Something is wrong, these two are definitely wrong...

At a glance, he saw there was a problem. Soon, a shocking guess emerged from the bottom of Shen Xian's heart.

Xu Jie wouldn't have... given the Empress Dowager... what a talent.
