The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 126 The Dream Meteor Gives People the Way to Handle Every Ying's Enchantment, Change the Sun and Move the Sky ([-])

Although Qu Yue was not as prosperous and prosperous as the Song Dynasty, Hualu's palace was equally magnificent and magnificent.Under the golden sunlight, jewels and treasures are reflected everywhere, fully revealing the nobleness of the royal family.

In comparison, the inner class courtyard in the harem made of gray bricks and blue tiles looks somewhat shabby.In the square courtyard, it was very noisy at this time. The eunuchs in the courtyard were all busy inside and out under the command of the chief manager.Some of them were cleaning the yard, some worked as supervisors, and some kept running to the imperial kitchen to serve wine and dishes for the royal family. All of them were expressionless, as if they had long been accustomed to such a busy day.

Everyone deeply understands one thing. From the day they entered the palace, they have come to serve the Ding family. Having something to do is the greatest blessing to them. Once there is nothing to do, life will be at will. It came to an end.

"Hey, huh..." A young eunuch in his 20s was sweeping the floor with a broom in his hand, sweat dripping down his forehead and falling on the gray brick floor.He didn't know how long he had been sweeping, but he felt sore and painful in his lower back, and his arms were completely exhausted.

He peeked at the high-spirited chief executive, seeing that he hadn't noticed him, so he took the opportunity to straighten up, intending to stretch his waist and exercise his muscles and bones.But he had only stretched out his arm halfway, when the majestic eyes of the chief manager swept over him, and he shouted loudly: "Du Shi! This manager just asked you to sweep the floor. You have been sweeping slowly for so long, and you have the nerve to be lazy." !"

The little eunuch was yelled at by the steward, and immediately cowered in the corner in fright, and explained tremblingly: "Sir, I have already swept the ground, but people keep coming and going in and out of the courtyard, trampling on the ground I have swept. , so I had to start all over again."

The head manager snorted coldly, walked in front of Du Shi angrily, and slapped him hard on the face, "Du Shi, you don't have to make excuses! Tell me yourself, which time the manager entrusted you, you didn't It’s messed up! Are you deliberately against the manager? Last time you were sent to deliver cakes to Ruan Guiren, you ate half of them, which caused me to be reprimanded by Ruan Guiren. Yesterday I asked you to go to Concubine Li Ask her what she wants to eat for dinner, but you forcibly misremembered the names of the dishes, and Concubine Li is still complaining about me until this morning. I just asked you to sweep the floor, and you have been sweeping for two hours You haven’t finished sweeping, what else do you think you can do? You’re just a waste in the latrine of the food station!”

Du Shi rubbed his cheek, and said timidly: "Chief Manager, Ruan Guiren's cakes were not stolen by me, but by Wu Yu. He ran faster than me, and the younger one didn't catch up with him. Last night, the younger one was a little I have a headache, my head is in a mess, and that's why I misremembered what Concubine Li ordered."

The head manager didn't wait for Du Shi to finish, and slapped him again, "Du Shi, you haven't learned any other skills, but you have learned to talk back to me! If you have the strength to talk back, you will have the strength to work. All the chores in the courtyard today I've left it all to you alone, who dares to help you and punish him as well!"

Everyone was happy to be at leisure. Hearing the words, they put down their hands one after another, and looked at the head manager flatteringly and smiled. The head manager had been standing in the courtyard for a long time, and he didn't bother to look at these people again, so he turned and went back to the room to rest.Looking at the countless jobs in the inner courtyard, Du Shi's eyes turned red and he almost cried out, but he still held back.He understood that even if he cried a lot, it would be a waste of energy, and it would not help at all.

He slowed down for a while, picked up the broom again, and carefully swept the inside and outside of the inner class courtyard.Then he went to the imperial chef to serve wine and dishes for the emperor and concubines.The work he did in half a day may be more than many young masters have done in a lifetime.

At night, the moonlight is hazy.

Du Shi dragged his exhausted body, staggered back to the inner courtyard, and walked into his room.The other eunuchs in the room had long been lying on the couch, sleeping soundly, and some people snored from time to time.

"Alas..." Du Shi sighed a long time, took off his shoes and coat lightly, and found a space beside the couch to lie down.He didn't even have time to cover him with the quilt, he felt his eyelids heavy, and fell soundly into sleep.

In the dream, Du Shi was in a wilderness, there was no one around him, only the evening breeze blowing slowly, and the vast galaxy above his head, he felt as if he had merged with the sky and the earth.Du Shi had been purged since he was a child, and was sent to the palace to serve the members of the royal family. He had never been alone in such an environment.

At first he felt a little fear in his heart, but then he found that it was very safe here, and a force yearning for freedom arose spontaneously in his heart.He was running cheerfully in the wilderness, smiling cheerfully, and the cool evening breeze gently blowing on him made him feel an unprecedented pleasure.

He didn't know how long he ran, his whole body was dripping with sweat, and then he stopped, lying on the dense grass, quietly looking up at the stars in the sky.He used to stand in the inner class courtyard and look at the stars. Even when the night sky was clean, he could only see a dozen or so at most, but the galaxy in his dream stretched as far as the eye could see, and the dream was so refreshing.

Du Shi pointed to the stars and counted them one by one: "One, two, three... three hundred..." He counted for a long time, but he still couldn't count all the stars in the sky. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a dream In the galaxy, there is a dazzling star, with a brilliant light, it fell straight to the earth, and smashed towards him.

"Ah!" Du Shi exclaimed, put his hands on the ground, and wanted to hide in the distance.But he was still slow after all, the meteor fell straight into his belly the moment he exclaimed.Du Shi looked at his stomach in astonishment, and exclaimed again in disbelief.

Soon, Du Shi woke up from the dream. When he woke up, he found that his mouth was really open, and his clothes were soaked.Seeing that the sky was already light and the eunuchs around him were still asleep, he quietly put on his clothes and left the room.

He walked aimlessly among the criss-crossing alleys of the palace, going to the east for a while, and then going to the west for a while.In the early morning, there were very few people walking around in the palace, occasionally a few patrolling guards would pass by, and when they met Du Shi, they would turn a blind eye to him.

Unknowingly, Du Shi was getting closer and closer to the emperor's bedroom.He also worked here for a few days before, but he didn't feel much panic, and still walked slowly with his head down.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old man in long robes hurrying towards the emperor's bedroom.

Du Shi recognized the person as Sitian Supervisor Deng Xuanguang, he couldn't help but pause, and then he braced himself to meet him.With a deep salute, he said, "Zajia has met Mr. Deng."

Deng Xuanguang returned the salute, and said, "My father-in-law, are you working in the palace today? I have something important to report to His Majesty, so please let me know."
