Chapter 1954: Story
Oh, so he was curious about Taoyuan Village.
Eunuch Zhang said, “Oh, you are curious about Taoyuan Village. Alright, I’ll tell you about Taoyuan Village. As everyone knows, Taoyuan Village has only been established for six or seven years, but it’s already famous all over the world.”
“Of course, that’s the Taoyuan Village that the princess of the Gu Kingdom built!” Xiao Li immediately went forward and said,” Princess Gu is not an ordinary person. She is a beauty and has an amazing talent. I heard that the Taoyuan Village she built is a picturesque place. It has become a paradise on earth. Many officials and nobles yearn for it, right?”
Eunuch Zhang revealed a disdainful expression and said, “Hmph, even our Emperor praises Taoyuan Village. What are those dignitaries?”
Little Li stepped forward to massage Eunuch Zhang’s shoulders and legs. He said even more ingratiatingly,” Eunuch Zhang, you’re right.”
At this point, he served Eunuch Zhang even more passionately. Then, he inadvertently asked,” Eunuch Zhang, is the reason His Majesty has returned this time because the princess of Guguo is going to the Black Clouds Kingdom?”
Eunuch Zhang supported his head with one hand. He felt quite comfortable being served by Eunuch Little Li. He lazily narrowed his eyes and replied,” His Majesty is very concerned about Princess Gu!”
He did not say anything else.
Little Li smiled and said,” Yes, everyone knows that His Majesty dotes on Princess Gu. He is closer to her than his own daughter. I wonder how many women in this world are envious of Princess Gu being able to receive such honour and favour from His Majesty?”
Eunuch Zhang snorted in disdain.” Hmph, can those women outside compare to Princess Gu?”
Even the concubines and princesses in the palace could not compare to Princess Gu.
Of course, Eunuch Zhang couldn’t say this out loud. Otherwise, he would offend all the nobles in the palace.
Although he was the Emperor’s most favoured eunuch, compared to those nobles, he was still a small servant.
Since he could become the Emperor’s personal eunuch, he naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
Little Li was also very smart to continue this topic. Instead, he pretended to be curious and asked, “Eunuch Zhang, I heard that the princess of Guguo and the general live together in Taoyuan Village, right?”
Eunuch Zhang snapped,” Aren’t you spouting nonsense? Everyone in the world knows that Princess Gu and the Defender General are living in Taoyuan Village.”
Little Li smiled and said,” Eunuch, you’re right. This servant is spouting nonsense.”
After apologizing, he changed the topic and said,” This time, Princess Gu went to the Black Clouds Kingdom to treat the Emperor of the Black Clouds Kingdom. What about the General? Was he going to accompany the princess? After all, I heard that the princess of the Guguo is pregnant and has a big belly. It’s very inconvenient. Can he be at ease?”
“That is…” Eunuch Zhang wanted to blurt out the answer,” Of course,” but he reacted quickly and did not leak the news of Jiang Zhennan accompanying Lin Yuelan.” Of course not.” He quickly added.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and stared sharply at Little Li. He reprimanded him with great dissatisfaction,” Eunuch Li, do you know what kind of servant has the shortest lifespan in the Imperial Palace?”
Eunuch Little Li was stunned. He raised his head and stared at Eunuch Zhang in a daze. He asked unnaturally,” What kind of servant?”
“Curious slaves have the shortest lives!” Eunuch Zhang said with a serious expression,” The more you know, the faster you die. Do you understand?”
Little Li’s expression changed and immediately became very humble.” Eunuch Zhang is right!”
Eunuch Zhang waved his hand and said,” You don’t have to massage my legs anymore. I should go eat and serve His Majesty!”
With that, he stood up.
Little Li said very respectfully,” Farewell, Eunuch Zhang!”
After Eunuch Zhang disappeared, Little Li’s expression changed. He looked cold and disdainful. “It was just that he was lucky enough to serve His Majesty. If I were to serve His Majesty, I would also have boundless glory!”
However, he immediately thought of something and left in a hurry.
In the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace, an old eunuch came over and whispered to the Crown Prince,” Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang is tight-lipped. Little Li didn’t get anything out of him!”
The Crown Prince nodded and said,” Yes, warn him about what he should and shouldn’t say!”
“Yes!” The old eunuch replied respectfully.
After the old eunuch left, a secret guard appeared in front of him.
