First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 359
Liu Jin's words immediately awakened the two of them from their joy. In the East Palace, the rules are strict, and the crown prince and princess are high above them. They can't get in touch with them on weekdays. Liu Jin is the one who really manages them.

Liu An immediately kowtowed and said, "Godfather, don't worry, my son has been with you for so many years, and he will definitely not embarrass you!"

Fugui also kowtowed and said: "I will serve His Highness with all my heart, and I will never dare to accept bribes, please rest assured, Eunuch!"

Liu Jin nodded and watched Fugui's tone become warmer: "The name our family gave you is not wrong, Fugui Fugui, you are really a blessed person. On the way back, His Highness heard that your original name was Zhao An, and gave you the word Huai." , from now on your name will be Zhao Huaian."

When Fugui heard this, he was stunned by the huge surprise. Zhao Huaian, anyone he meets in the future can stand up and sign up, because this is the name bestowed by the crown prince himself, and it is invaluable to them. Glory above.

Liu An just gritted his teeth in envy and jealousy. He was superior to Fugui before, because his surname was Liu. It is a great blessing to be bestowed with a word by His Royal Highness, which is still the word Huai!
Among the slaves in the East Palace, only his godfather Liu Jin and Yunjin Nuanyu's four aunts were named by His Highness, and the rest were not as respectable. Why should this Zhao Huaian who followed his butt all day long?
Liu An gritted his teeth and raised his head to look at his godfather. If Zhao Huaian got up, it wouldn't be good for his godfather. There are only a few places around His Highness, and one more person would be a share of his favor, so he might as well crush him to death while he is not getting up. This Zhao Huaian.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw his godfather waiting for his reaction with strange eyes. That was so strange, Liu An was startled, and immediately forgot his jealousy, and buried his head and dared not speak.

A trace of disdain flashed in Liu Jin's eyes after seeing her godson's reaction. Jealousy is nothing more than normal in this deep palace courtyard. Layers of power ladders are pressed down, and those at the bottom will always look at the layer above them with jealousy. The concubines are like this, and so are the slaves.

But jealousy is jealousy. If you just rely on jealousy to do things that are beyond your control, it is tantamount to taking death and causing trouble. It is understandable for Zhao Huaian to be envious and jealous of Liu Jin, but there can be no hatred, because giving a name The crown prince, a servant is only obedient to his master, if he has a crooked mind, he is disloyal.

It's true that Liu An is his godson, but he's not his own son. The difference between the two of them is only four or five years old. It's just that according to the old rules in the palaces of the past, the eunuch recruits godsons to cultivate talents who are handy. If Liu An It's not worth cultivating, Liu Jin can dismiss him at any time.

At this time, Zhao Huaian was already in tears, and kowtowed in the direction of Chengqian Palace. He had knocked down the crown prince at the beginning. Instead, he condescended to wipe his tears and let him serve in the East Palace. Such a kindness should have been repaid with death, and now he has been given a name...

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Huai'an's actions with satisfaction. Knowing how to repay kindness is always an admirable quality. It is better than a white-eyed wolf if you pull it back.

Liu Jin got up again and took out a few silver notes and four large silver ingots, divided them into two and placed them on the table: "The Holy Majesty and His Highness have not set a schedule for their trip, and we don't know what will happen afterwards. You take the silver."

After Liu An settled down, he hurriedly said, "My son also has some savings around me, so I don't dare to ask for my godfather's money."

Liu Jin waved his hand and said, "This is not for you. Your Highness doesn't have the habit of bringing money with you when you go out. As slaves, we naturally have to make preparations in advance. What if your highness wants to buy something and your savings are not enough? Can you still be shy?" Tell His Highness with a straight face, no money?"

As soon as Liu An heard about that scene, he immediately accepted a piece of money. He glanced at the other piece and knew in his heart that if it wasn't because of the name given by His Highness, the money should be kept by his direct descendant. Give Zhao Huaian a face.

Zhao Huaian wiped away his tears and took the money and said: "Your servant will definitely keep it safe and will never use it for myself."

Liu Jin nodded, and then told the prince's living habits in detail for a while, from how to dress and wash to the rules of night vigil, both Liu An and Zhao Huai'an listened carefully, this is priceless experience.

When it was almost time, Liu Jin ordered: "Tomorrow morning we have to set off, you go back to sleep for three hours, and then come here again, when the time comes, you have to prepare the things that His Highness may use for the trip, and you have sorted out the used ones yourself. time to find it quickly.”

The two went out with a thousand thanks, but at this time there was no difference in status between the two of them. Before leaving, Liu An would deliberately wait for Zhao Huaian who was still wiping away tears. The figures walking side by side with the lanterns gradually faded away.

Early the next morning, after Zhu Biao got up, Nuan Yu waited for him to dress and wash, and pouted, "His Royal Highness is going out again, why don't you bring your servants to wait on you? If Liu Jin doesn't go, no one will take care of you."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "This time, I have business to do. I have to go to Fengyang's hometown first. There is nothing to do along the way. You will not be able to play anything if you follow along."

Nuan Yu responded aggrievedly, and Zhu Biao pinched his soft face with a smile: "Okay, I promised to take you to Zijin Mountain for an outing after the spring, as if you had enough fun."

Nuan Yu's big eyes widened in an instant: "Then we should bring Sister Yunjin and the others with us. The grandson will be born by then. I wonder if we can go and play together."

Zhu Biao teased her a few more words, and then went to the main hall for dinner, Chang Luohua had already dressed and washed, Da Shuang'er helped her sit down and said: "The princess has been waiting for the Lord for a long time, and her eyes are blind." I couldn't open it, and the servants persuaded me several times."

Chang Luohua looked at Zhu Biao who came over and said apologetically, "I was supposed to wait for His Highness to come back, but unexpectedly I fell asleep."

Zhu Biao picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just a trip to Fengyang's hometown to pay respects to the ancestors. You're getting older, so you can't stay up late in the future. Go to sleep as soon as you want."

Chang Luohua agreed, and the young couple began to eat. When the food was almost finished, Liu Jin led the two of them in, and the two immediately knelt down on the ground and paid respects.

Liu Jin said respectfully: "Your Highness has packed up all the things you need to travel, and this servant specially brought the two of them here to pay a visit."

Chang Luohua naturally knew that Liu Jin would stay in the East Palace to take care of her, so she looked at the two little eunuchs. She knew Liu An, after all, he was the eunuch in charge of meals on weekdays, and the other one was just familiar.
