Your Majesty, congratulations on your birthday!

Chapter 2 Being Treated as an Assassin

"Throwing bricks to attract jade?" The corner of the man's mouth was raised, and he was extremely happy. "Not bad, it seems reasonable."

"Your Majesty, please believe that I am not an assassin." Xie Xique immediately realized that the man in yellow pajamas in front of him must be the Emperor.Nowadays, so many people regard themselves as assassins, so they must quickly find a way to save their lives.

"Not an assassin? Why should I trust you?" The emperor put away Sun Tzu's Art of War, and with a smile on his lips, he asked Xie Xique suspiciously.

"Because it's impossible for an assassin not to have any weapons at all, and since I'm powerless, I can't be an assassin." Xie Xique turned his head quickly, trying to find a reason for himself.

"You? You really don't look like an assassin." The emperor slapped his hands with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and said flatly, "But why did you fall from the sky?"

"Well, can I wait to explain it to you, the emperor?" Xie Xique saw that the emperor seemed very interested in this book, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and had a plan in mind.Why don't you use this book of Sun Tzu's Art of War to find a way out for yourself.

"Your Majesty, I think you are very interested in this book of Sun Tzu's Art of War. If you can spare me my life, then I am willing to give it to the Emperor." Xie Xique said sincerely.

The emperor laughed out loud, as if hearing a big joke, "You, it's really funny. Why do you think that I will agree to such a request of yours? Kill you, and I can get it as well." This is Sun Tzu's Art of War." A trace of cruelty flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Xie Xique was taken aback, and then kowtowed, "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better to have someone who has fully mastered Sun Tzu's art of war serve you? Anyway, my life has always been in your hands. What good do you have?" Worried? If you want to kill me, that's just a matter of any time."

"Interesting, interesting." The emperor looked Xie Xique up and down, and laughed heartily, "You are the first person who dares to beg for my life like this."

"Your Majesty, you are joking." Xie Xique said respectfully, "I just want to take my life."

"Okay, you all go down." The emperor waved to a group of guards, signaling them to go down.

"But, Your Majesty." The guard at the head was a little hesitant, as if unwilling to leave, and looked at Xie Xique from time to time, as if wondering if Xie Xique still had some bad intentions to harm the emperor. of.

"Okay, stop talking, I have my own opinions, you all go down." The emperor's voice was somewhat displeased.

The leading guard could only clasp his fists.Xie Xique felt it was a little funny, and said to the headed guard, "What are you afraid of? If something really happens, you are outside, and the emperor just shouts, and you can come in. I can't do anything at all." I did. Don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life."

"You." The leading guard looked at Xie Xique with some displeasure.

The emperor looked at Xie Xique with admiration, and glared at the head guard, who could only leave in despair.

"Yes, indeed very wise." The emperor looked at Xie Magpie with a faint smile on his lips.

Xie Xique's knees hurt from kneeling, and just after falling, his whole body hurts.I can't control that much anymore, Xie Xique turned over and stood up, "Your Majesty, you are very courageous."

To be able to face an assassin without panic, and to see everything so clearly, then the emperor must have a gully in his heart, a big world, and he must be a wise king.

Xie Xique came to this strange world for a few days before he realized that the place he came to was called Yuye Dynasty, and there were two main kingdoms, Zhuling Kingdom and Haitian Kingdom.and.This emperor is the lord of Zhu Ling Kingdom, Hao Entian.

Hao Entian was enthroned at the age of 15, his biological mother died early, and now the empress dowager is a stepmother, with great power in her hands, she always thinks of harming Hao Entian.

Therefore, it can be said that Hao Entian is basically an unlucky emperor, an emperor who always thinks about his own head.

"Hey, it's really not easy to be the emperor." Xie Xique sighed for a long time, sighing for that unlucky child Hao Entian.

"Sister, what are you sighing for?" In other words, Xie Xique has now been taken by Hao Entian, the unlucky emperor, as a personal maid.And the person who spoke was Xie Xique's colleague, Miss Lian'er.

"Lian'er, why are you here? The emperor didn't ask you to serve him?" Xie Xique showed a bright smile and smiled at Lian'er, wanting to win Lian'er's favor.Being the emperor's personal maid is not easy. You have to serve the emperor, you have to deal with the eyes and jealousy of the maids around you, and you have to deal with the jealous concubines.And, he is always concerned about whether the emperor is fatuous or not, whether he is the empress dowager who will ignore the government.

So, to be this personal maid is indeed Lei.

Lian Er was young, so she was naturally happy to see Xie Xique respecting her so much. It could be said that she already regarded Xie Xique as her younger sister.

"Sister Magpie, as someone close to the emperor, you have to be careful. If the emperor is unhappy, we will all lose our heads." Lian Er looked at Xie Xique who had been here for so many days, but still So carefree, and without taboo, caring for Xie Xique how to survive in this harem.

Xie Xique looked indifferent, waved his hands, and said to Lian'er with a smile, "It's okay, Sister Lian'er, no one here will know anyway, hehe."

"Sister Lian'er, is this the snack you made for me?" Xie Xique saw the snack that Lian'er brought in, and his eyes immediately glowed green.

It can be said that the craftsmanship of this Lian'er is very good. It is sweet but not greasy, which makes people feel good after eating it. It is definitely not comparable to the greasy dim sum made by modern chefs.

"That's great, Sister Lian'er." Xie Xique couldn't wait to eat a piece of dim sum, and praised Xie Xique full of praise, "Sister Magpie, it's so delicious."

"Eat it if you like it, look at your greedy cat." Someone praised her for her cooking skills, how could Lian Er be unhappy?

"Sister Lian'er, what is this made of? It's delicious, and it smells like sweet-scented osmanthus." Xie Xique praised the sweet-scented osmanthus cake before he swallowed it.

Lian'er sighed a long time, "Hey, if only the emperor could praise my dim sum like you do." Lian'er said regretfully.

Xie Xique looked at Lian'er who wanted to get the emperor's favor, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, the people in the palace, especially the women, were really pitiful.There is nothing to do all day long, so I can only think about how to get the emperor's favor and how to win the emperor's favor.

How tiring is that?Really, to be a human being, the most important thing is to be happy.

However, how can a square wall be happy?Let these frowning maids find the joy of life, huh?

Xie Xique fell into deep thought, "Hey, let's play mahjong." Suddenly, Xie Xique had an idea and shouted out loudly.

Lian'er had a look of surprise on her face, she looked at Xie Xique in disbelief, "Play mahjong? What is that?"

"Playing mahjong, hehe, playing mahjong is an entertainment activity, suitable for all ages, everyone can enjoy it." Xie Xique smiled dryly, thinking about how to explain it to Lian Er.

Lian'er still didn't understand, she rolled her eyes and looked at Xie Xique, "I still don't quite understand, what exactly is this mahjong-playing thing?"

"Hehe, Sister Lian'er, don't guess. When the time comes, I'll do it, don't you understand? Anyway, it's fun." Xie Xique blinked and encouraged Lian'er.

Lian'er nodded suspiciously, "Okay, then I'll just wait."

It took about ten days, and Xie Xique finally made the first mahjong and playing cards.A smug smile appeared on the corner of Xie Magpie's mouth.

Let's see how the gambling king plays with the harem.Holding the cards and mahjong, Xie Xique looked for Lian'er and the two eunuchs serving the emperor with a smile, "Let's play something new."

"What's new?" Lian Er was taken aback for a moment, then asked Xie Xie with a smile. "Is it the mahjong game you mentioned last time?"

"Yes, Sister Lian'er, it's hard for you to remember." Xie Xique smiled and pulled Lian'er and the two eunuchs, "Let's go, let's go and try."

"Okay." People in the deep palace are the most boring, finally someone came up with a way to have fun, how could everyone refuse?
Xie Xique taught everyone how to play mahjong and cards in a few words, and then went to the battle in person and played with everyone.

"Hey, hey, I won again. Hehe." Xie Xique is a veteran and also at the master level, how could he lose to these new eunuchs and court ladies?The whole afternoon, Xie Magpie was winning money.

The eunuchs and court ladies are bored, and finally they have such a fun game, and they can't stop it. What is money?On weekdays, the master rewards you, and you don’t need money for meals. What’s the use of asking for money?Everyone is red-eyed, and they don't care about so many.

"Why did I lose again? Obviously I can win this one." An eunuch said angrily.

Xie Xique put the money in front of him with a smile, and comforted the little eunuch cheerfully, "Hey, don't worry, this thing really looked like this at the beginning. At the beginning, I started playing It's time, and you lose every day."

"Really? Come again." The little eunuch's eyes were red from playing, and he shouted loudly to come again.

Xie Xique also deeply understands that if you can't win forever, you always have to give everyone a little bit of sweetness.From time to time, Xie Magpie would also lose some.Everyone will have more fun.

Xie Xique watched everyone having fun, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"It's really fun, Sister Magpie, we want to play too." Several young eunuchs watched from the side, eager to try, and said to Xie Xique with a smile, hoping that Xie Magpie could let him play too.

Xie Xique clapped his hands and said happily, "What's so difficult about this?" Xie Xique took out the mahjong and cards he had already made, and gave them to the little eunuchs.

Of course, these mahjong and playing cards are only rented out by themselves. The little eunuchs and court ladies, no matter who wins the money first, have to give a certain amount of money to themselves before they can continue to play.

Once back and forth, within a few days, the eunuchs and maids in the deep palace all fell in love with this good activity that is beneficial to the body and mind.

Of course, Xie Xique is also rich and happy.

"Sister Magpie, these are rents." The little eunuch cheerfully handed the money to Xie Xique. The corners of Xie Xique's mouth couldn't help but rise, seeing how much money he had accumulated, he was in a good mood.

In this man-eating deep palace, money is always good.After all, money can turn ghosts around.Only with money can he gain a firm foothold in this deep palace.

Otherwise, he would be the fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

"Sister Magpie, the emperor wants to see you." A young eunuch said respectfully to Xie Magpie.

Xie Xique nodded, took out some money, and handed it to the little eunuch, "Brother, tell me, what is the emperor looking for me?"

The little eunuch shook his head, and said with some embarrassment, "Well, Sister Magpie, I don't know very well. After all, I can't guess what the emperor wants." The little eunuch was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to ask for money. up.

Xie Xique let out a long sigh, but still felt a little ominous in his heart, the emperor would definitely have nothing good to do with him.

Xie Xique walked into the palace cautiously. The emperor was drinking tea and reading a book.

Xie Xique knelt down respectfully, "Xie Xique has met the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The emperor also didn't intend to let Xie Xique get up, Xie Xique couldn't help but secretly scolded Hao Entian in his heart, damn emperor, why don't you let him get up?Be careful to drink tea and be choked.

"Did you just say bad things about me?" Hao Entian seemed to be able to read minds, and saw through Xie Xique's thoughts at a glance.
