Chapter 418 Good News

Just as the two children went to ask for money together, the young eunuch slowly returned to Yuhua Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, other eunuchs came over in a hurry, "Master Xu, the prince is looking for you."

The young eunuch paused for a moment when he heard this, but soon regained his composure. He looked up at the eunuch and replied calmly, "I see."

Then he walked quickly towards the house where his master was.

At this time, Sheng Jingzhan was sitting leisurely in a rocking chair, holding a book and rocking gently.

He listened to the noise, raised his eyes and took a look, then asked in a cold voice, "Why are you back so late?"

As soon as the words fell, the young eunuch immediately knelt down and replied respectfully, "My lord, I revealed the news to Xiao Shunzi, and then I met Pei Yi and reminded him again."

When Sheng Jingzhan heard this, he shifted his gaze from the book to the young eunuch and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Are you trying to win credit from me?"

The young eunuch was startled and said in panic, "No, I came back late. Please punish me, Master."

The man on the rocking chair raised his lips slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and returned his gaze to the book. "You've been following me for so long, and you even forgot how to reply? Xu Nian, this is the second time."

The young eunuch Xu Nian lowered his head even lower and dared not say another word.

He had served King Yu for many years, so he naturally understood the deep meaning of his master's words. As the saying goes, three times is the limit, and if he fails to give a satisfactory answer next time, he will be abandoned.

The young eunuch stopped talking, and Sheng Jingzhan did the same.

The room was dead silent, with only the sound of turning pages.

An unknown amount of time had passed. The sky outside was gradually getting dark, and the young eunuch's forehead was covered with cold sweat due to nervousness, but his master still did not ask him to get up.

At this moment, a gentle summer breeze blew through the window, brushing the face of the person lying on the ground. The familiar itching sensation slowly rose from the chest and quickly spread to the depths of the throat. The eunuch's face changed drastically in an instant. He tried his best to endure it, but after only a moment, the coughing sound could not be suppressed and broke out.

The long silence in the room was instantly broken, replaced by a burst of rapid coughing.

Sheng Jingzhan frowned slightly and stared at the person on the ground coldly.

The young eunuch covered his mouth tightly, trying to calm his breathing. His body was shaking violently, and his voice was filled with fear: "...cough cough... Master, please forgive me... cough cough cough..."

A trace of disgust flashed across Sheng Jingzhan's eyes, and he said coldly, "Drag Xu Nian out, and ask Li Da to come in and serve him."

The young eunuch's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, as if all the blood had been lost. He stared at Sheng Jingzhan with wide eyes in disbelief, then shouted out of control: "Master..."

However, before he could finish his words, the eunuch who came in quickly covered his mouth and dragged him out of the room mercilessly. At the same time, another person had replaced him and stood respectfully beside Sheng Jingzhan.

The young eunuch was thrown back into the simple eunuch room with a face full of despair and sadness. He never expected that the high position he had climbed to after going through countless bloody battles could be knocked down so easily.

He silently took off the steward's uniform that no longer belonged to him.

At this moment, he lightly touched the pill on his waist, and the three little faces he had seen during the day immediately appeared in his mind. He picked up the pill and stared at it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to put it in his mouth.

But after a moment, the itch in his throat slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The young eunuch was slightly stunned, and only then did he realize how ridiculous the thought of throwing it away that just flashed through his mind was.

……

Inside the Imperial Bedroom

Pei Dafu was looking at his adopted son Pei Yi with a speechless look. Seeing him put the banknotes into his sleeve, the corner of his eye finally twitched slightly. Ever since he adopted this adopted son, he was either spending money or on the way to give money away.

He was an old man who was almost fifty years old and had been shrewd for most of his life, but in the end he was cheated by a young boy.

Why bother! ! !

Little Yining also looked at her fellow villager with great envy, even though she had previously revealed to him that his adoptive father had long known about the concubine.

However, he still took advantage of this incident to extort twenty taels of silver from Pei Dafu.

However, this is what she wants after she finishes being a reading machine.

Pei Dafu was the emperor's close attendant and a very popular figure. He lived in the palace annex closest to the emperor.

As soon as she arrived, she met the emperor who was returning from a walk. She was detained again and forced to eat an imperial health meal.

The only difference is that this time, there are fellow villagers who are suffering with her.

Pei Yi collected the banknotes and said, "Dad, I will definitely help you become the top scholar in the imperial examination."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Dafu sneered, "You lazy idiot, you still want to be the top scholar. If you can pass the exam, you will be the ancestor of the Pei family, and I will be the second generation ancestor."

"Grandpa Pei, you are disrupting the moral principles." Xiao Yining continued.

Pei Dafu: ...

He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl, and praised her without words, "Young lady knows a lot, Your Majesty will definitely feel very relieved if he knows this."

The kid nodded seriously, "Grandpa Pei, that's because of my uncle's good teaching!"

Pei Dafu: It’s really hard to refute what this kid says.

He gave a fake smile, then looked back at his adopted son, and reminded him earnestly, "You contributed a lot by offering sweet potatoes before, and His Majesty intends to give you some rewards. Think carefully about what you want in the next few days, and then tell me, and I will mention it to His Majesty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two little ones looked at each other quickly, with joy shining in their eyes.

The little kid couldn't hold back his excitement and asked impatiently, "Grandpa Pei, will my uncle really give me a reward?"

Pei Dafu nodded slightly and admitted the matter, "Our Majesty has always been generous."

Xiao Yining immediately shouted happily, then hugged his fellow villager's waist and said excitedly, "Uncle, your efforts have not been in vain!"

Pei Yi touched the kid's head and said, "I have it, and Sister Qing will have a share too."

The little boy nodded vigorously, with golden light shining in his eyes, as if he saw a pile of gold ingots placed in front of him.

Pei Dafu looked at the two little ones' useless appearance, shook his head, and said to his adopted son, "Don't be too greedy, or you will displease His Majesty."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yi said, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I just want His Majesty to grant me the title of No. 1 scholar."

Pei Dafu: ...
