Chapter 147 Second entry into the palace

Zhou Xian stood at the Meridian Gate, which was the second time. The first time was to visit Emperor Chongzhen, accompanied by his father Zhou Tianhong; but this second time was to be alone. The prince’s lecture was after the morning court, and all the ministers had already gone to court.

Zhou Xian went forward to pay homage to the guards at the door, informed him of his identity, and asked them to inform him of Wang Chengen. While the guards were in to report, Zhou Xian stood outside the door and looked up at the high walls in front of him again. Forbidden City, this is the place that many people dream of! How many heroes have spent their entire lives, but often they can't even touch its edge? But today, he is going to go in.

Just as Zhou Xian was in a state of fascination, he heard a shining voice, a slightly sharp voice sounded. "You are Zhou Xian?"

Zhou Xian looked back and saw a middle-aged eunuch about 35 or thirty-six years old, tall and burly, with a white and beardless face. Although he was dressed as a father-in-law in the palace, his clothes were tightly tied up, making him look very energetic. If it weren't for that dress, it would never have been thought that he was a eunuch. Outside the palace gate, any person was casually pulled out was a member of the court. Moreover, the other party was a father-in-law from the palace. Zhou Xianzi did not dare to be rude and hurriedly bowed and said, "It's a villain, how dare you ask about the father-in-law's name?"

The father-in-law glanced under the corner of his eyes, fiddled with his right hand casually, and said sharply: "How can we ask our name just by asking? I'm here just to remind you."

Seeing his rudeness, Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Zhou Xian's status is low and he may not deserve to know his father-in-law's name. But being able to hear his father-in-law's reminder is also my blessing. If you have any advice to me, you can just say it, just listen carefully."

The father-in-law ate Zhou Xian's soft nail, his face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Enjoyable and ungrateful. I tell you, don't think that you can do whatever you want with your own meager achievements. In my eyes, let alone you, even your father Zhou Tianhong, is just a small fly, you can be killed by me at any time. If you are smart, tell me early, where is Lin Bao now? Otherwise, once I know that you have a connection with him, I will never spare you."

Zhou Xian's face changed slightly. By this time, he had fully known the identity of this father-in-law. Gao Qiqian, the governor of the three towns. Although Wang Weidong had already informed Zhou Xian about the old revenge between Gao Qiqian and Lin Bao, Gao Qiqian should not know that he had already known it. He pretended to be surprised and said, "This father-in-law, how did you know that there is a guard guard named Lin Bao in my family? But he had already left. I really don't know where he is now? Moreover, father-in-law, why would you think I would have something to do with a servant who only knows how to do a few kung fu?"

Gao Qiqian looked at Zhou Xian, with a clear doubt in his eyes. "Why did we hear that he once taught you Kung Fu!"

Zhou Xian replied with a smile: "Dadfather-in-law, this is true. Among all the guards in my family, his kung fu is the best. I did come to him on a whim and asked him for advice, but that's all. Although I was a little different from other guards, he was always a guard. How big is it? Besides, he left without even calling him. I hated him for too long! How could he still have some contact with him?"

Gao Qiqian thought about it and sighed: "This seems to make sense."

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao, are you back?" Wang Chengen trotted all the way and greeted Gao Qiqian with a smile.

Gao Qiqian smiled and bowed to Wang Chengen, "Eunuch Wang, long time no see, the emperor is doing well recently!"

Wang Chengen ran to the front, grabbed Gao Qiqian's hands, and laughed: "It's okay, it's okay. I just often talked about you, saying that since you left, no one has given him any worries."

Gao Qiqian's face was infinitely moved and said, "The emperor's kindness to me is that even if I go through fire and water, I can't repay you even if I die in the battlefield."

Wang Chengen smiled and said, "How can Gong Gao say this? If you die on the battlefield, how can you serve the emperor? We must live for a long time and be good so that we can share the emperor's worries more."

Gao Qiqian clapped his hands and smiled, "Eunuch Wang is right. We all have to live for a long time, okay."

Wang Chengen talked to Gao Qiqian for a while and then said, "Duke Gao, I want to take Master Zhou to pay homage to the prince, so I will not be here to accompany you. Please wait for a moment, and then other father-in-law will take you to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Gao Qiqian nodded and said, "Then you are busy with yours first, and we will wait for a while."

Zhou Xian bowed to Gao Qiqian and said, "Eunuch Gao, then I'm going to go here."

Gao Qiqian glanced at Zhou Xian, and finally had a smile on his face and said, "You kid are sensible. Don't worry, no matter what kind of grudges I have with Lin Bao or what kind of grudges I have. As long as you really don't contact him, I will not cause trouble for you again."

Zhou Xian followed Wang Chengen to say goodbye to Gao Qiqian and walked all the way to the palace. On the way, Wang Chengen was surprised and turned to Zhou Xian curiously and asked, "Mr. Zhou, why did you mess with Gao Qiqian?"

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I had a guard guard in my family before, but in the end I found out that he was actually a fleeing military prisoner. And I heard that he seemed to have killed a relative of Eunuch Gao before. Therefore..."

Wang Chengen nodded and reminded: "Mr. Zhou, Gao Qiqian is not a good person. Once he is targeted, you have to be careful." As he said that, he raised his head and smiled, "Here is Duanjing Palace. Mr. Zhou, you will come here to study with the prince every day in the future."

Zhou Xian nodded and walked inward with Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen asked for a while and realized that the prince had a cold last night and had not yet gotten up. After the imperial physician diagnosed, he found that it was nothing serious. The queen was feeding him medicine, but it seemed that he could not attend class today. Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Wuzi, please go in and inform the queen, and say that Zhou Xian has arrived. Even if he doesn't teach, the emperor will not blame us."

Xiao Wuzi said, "The prince wait for a moment, and I will go in and report it now."

After a while, Xiao Wuzi walked out and looked at the two of them and said, "Eunuch Wang, the queen said that there will be no morning class today. However, the queen wants to see Zhou accompanying her first. If you have something to do, you can leave first."

Wang Chengen looked at Zhou Xian apologetically and said, "Young Master Zhou, then this..."

Zhou Xian bowed and said, "Eunuch Wang, go and do yours! I can handle it myself."
