Chapter 227: The Unsettled Little Emperor
After saying that, Chen Yuntang took a step back, bowed to the little emperor, then put on his cloak and turned around and left the back door of the hall.
The little emperor turned sideways slightly, looking at Chen Yuntang's back slowly disappearing into the darkness, his eyes flashed.
The little emperor didn't wear a cloak or something. Eunuch Gao was worried that he would catch a cold after standing outside for a long time, so he spoke and reminded him: "Master, it's getting late, it's getting cold outside, let's go back!"
The little emperor was called back to his senses and nodded, "Let's go!"
Eunuch Gao took a few steps forward to help the boss get the New Year gift in his hand. The little emperor gave in and whispered: "No need, Gao Cheng, you are old and I am strong and I can take it myself."
Gao Cheng was stunned and quickly smiled and said, "That old slave, thank you for your understanding."
One master and one servant soon left Fengtian Palace.
Not long after they left, Eunuch Wei brought his people back.
The regent's eyeliner was everywhere in the palace. Eunuch Wei knew what happened at the back door of Fengtian Palace just now.
The little eunuch who had just hit Chen Yuntang was kneeling in front of Eunuch Wei and shivered.
Eunuch Wei stared at him with his eyes narrowed.
The little eunuch could not bear the stare of his eyes and begged for mercy: "Mr. Wei, what the slave knew, said, without any concealment, it was a slave who was wrong. When he bumped into the little marquis, he received the punishment! Please Mr. Wei, please spare the slave's life!"
Eunuch Wei, the old man, soon confirmed that the little eunuch was not telling a lie, but his face did not improve and was still gloomy. "Do you know what the little marquis put in the package for the priest?"
The little eunuch desperately recalled the conversation between Chen Yuntang and the little emperor, and said tremblingly: "The package the little marquis gave to the priest has never been opened. The slave never saw what was inside. He only heard the little marquis tell the emperor that the thing was planted by his own family, and the little marquis next to him did not say it either. Mr. Wei, no word of the slave is false. Please spare me, please spare my life!"
Eunuch Wei asked a few more questions, but the little eunuch was just a few words in a mess. He probably didn't know so much. He waved his hand and asked someone to take the little eunuch to the Shenxing Department for punishment.
If His Highness knew about this, this little eunuch would probably have no way to survive.
You said that he was not good at doing anything, and he insisted on accidentally pushing the little marquis into the emperor's arms. Isn't this a jealousy of the bear heart and leopard!
This is really heartbreaking!
Eunuch Wei paused, feeling that he could not just tell his Highness about this. When the Highness asked what the little marquis gave to the emperor, he would be immediately stopped, and he would be implicated and punished by himself.
He thought about it and decided to go to Qin Chou and ask him to go to the emperor to find out.
As Eunuch Gao followed the master, he obviously felt that the emperor's steps were getting faster and faster. When he arrived at the back, his old arms and legs could not keep up with his master's pace.
He grew up with the Lord, and he saw the change of his character step by step.
In the past two years, the emperor has been timid on the surface, but in fact his mind has become deeper and deeper. He can remain unmoved no matter how hard or tired he is.
But at this moment, his true emotions could not be hidden. In recent years, this is the first time that his master has made an exception.
Eunuch Gao sometimes feels very sorry for the emperor, but sometimes he also thinks that the emperor needs this, otherwise how big the matter can be accomplished!
At this moment, the emperor suddenly felt the urgent emotions of a normal person, and his expression was still so obvious. He didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Eunuch Gao wanted to remind him, but it was rare to see his master like this, and he couldn't bear it, so he finally swallowed the words he could not speak.
Momo followed the emperor all the way back to the back hall of the Ganqing Palace.
When we arrived at the Ganqing Palace, Eunuch Gao was already out of breath.
The little emperor turned around and saw Eunuch Gao gasping, and felt a little apology in his heart, but the desire to detach the New Year gift Chen Yuntang was even more urgent.
He ordered, "Gaocheng, go and rest first. I will go to the study in the back hall, and you don't need to serve you."
After saying that, without waiting for Gao Cheng to reply, he walked straight towards the study with the package.
He hurried to the entrance of the study room, pushed open the study room door with one hand, stepped in, and then turned around and closed the study room door. He walked to the desk and lit the candle, placed the package on the desk, and sat down. Until he sat down, looking at the New Year ceremony in front of him, the little emperor's heart was still beating quickly.
He closed his eyes and calmed his excitement and nervousness that he could not calm down.
Slowly reach your hands towards the package in front of you.
As my hands got closer and closer to the package, my mood that had just calmed down became nervous immediately.
He felt like this now that the child who received the gift for the first time, was anxious and excited, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together.
When unpacking the package, the little emperor's slender fingers were trembling.
The package was not tight, but the little emperor was so nervous that he couldn't untie it, but instead he became tighter and tighter.
Soon he realized that he was not doing this, so he forced himself to close his eyes, and then opened the package with a calm mood.
This time it went very smoothly and the package was opened soon.
After a while, the little emperor saw a delicate pear blossom box the size of a book.
The box is engraved with a festive pattern of blessing, fortune and longevity, which means auspiciousness and lifelikeness.
Seeing such a pattern, the little emperor was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, it seems that some people hope that he will be described in this pattern, with blessings, wealth, and longevity.
This is the first time in so many years that the little emperor has received such blessings and gifts.
He carefully touched the patterns on the box and remembered them deeply into his mind.
After a while, the little emperor found the switch of the wooden box, gently pulled the lock on it, and then opened the lid of the pear blossom wooden box.
As soon as the lid is opened, a faint fragrance comes to your nose.
Then his vision was what was contained in the wooden box.
A handful of vegetables carefully tied with red silk, next to them were two exquisite small boxes, engraved with patterns of wintersweet and osmanthus.
It was as big as a rouge box for women.
Seeing these tender vegetables, the little emperor couldn't help but secrete his saliva.
But he held back for the time being and reached out to the two small wooden boxes.
He picked up the box with wintersweet pattern and opened it gently. What caught his eye was a round light yellow pastry with wintersweet pattern printed on it. It smelled lightly cold fragrance of wintersweet, which was refreshing.
He gently put down the wooden box containing exquisite pastries, and then reached out to open another one. The pattern corresponding to the wooden box was filled with osmanthus-flavored pastries. The top of the osmanthus pattern was also painted, and the exquisite ones were so invincible that they could not bear to speak.
After watching for a long time, the little emperor still picked up one of the pastries and put them into his mouth.
