Lu Chuchu snorted coldly and said: "What's the difference? I think it's because he can't endure hardship!"

"No way? Brother Xiao is not the kind of person who can't bear hardships!" Xiaodie gently beat Xiao Yun's thighs with her two small hands and retorted reluctantly.

Lu Chuchu saw the angry expression on Xiaodie's face, for fear of making the little girl angry, she giggled and said: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Let your brother Xiao tell you whether you can endure hardship?"

Xiao Yun slowly opened his eyes, smiled at Xiaodie, then turned to Lu Chuchu and said, "My Miss Lu, don't you know what I did today?"

"You don't need to guess what you did. You know where the emperor goes. You go there with him? He doesn't allow murder and arson!" Lu Chuchu disagreed.

Xiao Yun sighed and said: "You are right, you did not ask me to do anything like murder and arson, but compared to murder and arson, I would rather kill people and set fire now, at least it will be pleasant, the emperor's personal bodyguard said so

It sounds good to be a bodyguard, but it sounds bad to say it is the emperor's follower. I will follow the emperor wherever he goes. Today the emperor went to the Jinluan Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower, and the Yanchun Pavilion to meet with the courtiers and the concubines in the harem. As the emperor's personal bodyguard,

Naturally, I have to accompany you and stand outside the door of the palace. His Majesty the Emperor can sit down to rest his legs, drink tea, and have fun with his concubines, but I have to stand outside the door and remain motionless!" said this,

Xiao Yun breathed out and continued: "Standing motionless is fine, but if the emperor goes out on patrol, it will be terrible. Wherever the emperor goes, I will follow him. But, although the Tatar Emperor did not go out on tour today,

, but there are enough places to walk in the palace, right? I only have two legs, where have I ever suffered this kind of crime? "

"Look, what I said is right, right? I just can't bear the hardship, right?" Lu Chuchu saw that her guess was right, and shouted to Xiaodie proudly.

"Isn't that true? Brother Xiao has traveled so many places, naturally he can't bear it?" Xiaodie rubbed Xiao Yun's thigh distressedly, and said to Lu Chuchu, as far as she can see, no one works harder than her brother Xiao.

.

"Do you still think that being the emperor's bodyguard is so prestigious? If it's so hard, why not rest at home?" Ah Xue also said with a worried frown while rubbing Xiao Yun's thigh.

"Sister Axue, then you are wrong. Don't look at them working hard in the palace, following the emperor's butt, like dogs. When they leave the palace, they are not ordinary people. They usually show off their power, and none of them are vegetarians.

Yes, do you know who are the bodyguards around this Tatar emperor?"

Xiaodie asked curiously: "Who is he?"

Lu Chuchu said: "Almost all those who can serve as the emperor's bodyguards in the palace have some background. They are all the children of meritorious ministers. If they don't have any background in their families, if they want to enter the palace as guards, it will be as difficult as that of Shu.

Shangqingtian, your brother Xiao finally entered the palace, and it was the order of the Tatar Emperor himself. This ease is beyond the comparison of ordinary people. Don't look at him now, who is so tired that his chest is pressed against his back. If you really let him

People may not be happy to sit at home and enjoy the happiness, right?"

"Ah... How complicated is it for a guard?"

Lu Chuchu smiled proudly and said, "Isn't it true?" After speaking, a pair of big and smart eyes stared at Xiao Yun and said with a smile: "My Uncle Xiao, am I right?"

It was hard to say what Xiao Yun was thinking about what she said. He smiled and said: "Yes, yes! Yes!"

Lu Chuchu didn't expect him to admit it. She was stunned for a moment, looked at his sluggish look, giggled and said: "Okay, look at your appearance, why don't you take a rest for a while? I'll call you again during dinner later.

you!"

Xiao Yun said: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and the one who knows me is Lu Chuchu!"

Lu Chuchu chuckled at his two playful words and said, "Okay, don't be poor, why don't you just sleep for a while? Let's all go out?"

Xiaodie and Axue still wanted to stay and take care of him, but seeing the tiredness on his face they felt sorry for him, so they silently followed Lu Chuchu and left the bedroom one after another, leaving only the four maids of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the room to take care of him.

After everyone left the room, Xiao Yun couldn't wait to go to bed. He raised his face and sighed with satisfaction: "It's good now. After standing on guard for a day, I can finally get down and sleep peacefully. I don't have to worry about it anymore."

I’ve become a light bulb!”

——————————————————————————

The last ray of sunshine at dusk was swallowed up by the coming night. Pu Buhua hunched his body and walked along the corridor of Yanchun Pavilion to his residence. Before he could get out of the palace gate of Yanchun Pavilion, he walked towards her.

The two girls, the leader of whom saw him, shouted in a low voice: "Eunuch Park, please stay?" As she said that, she ran over with small steps, her chest couldn't move due to running up and down, Pu Buhua's eyes lit up.

He stopped, gently moved Fo Chen to hand over his right hand, turned around slowly, and said to the girl in the lead: "This girl, is it you who calls us home?"

The girl seemed to have seen big events, and she was not afraid when she saw Pu Buhua. She nodded slightly and said, "Has the Queen invited Eunuch Pu to go to Yanchun Pavilion?"

Upon hearing the Queen's invitation, Pu Buhua's heart skipped a few beats, but he quickly calmed down, squinting his eyes slightly and asked: "This girl, the Queen didn't say that she would like to come to our house."

What's the matter?"

The leading girl shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, just ask the servants to come up and stop the father-in-law, so that he must go to Yanchun Pavilion!"

Pu Buhua frowned, then waved his hand and sighed: "In that case, I'd like to help you, young lady, to lead the way!"

That girl was quite clever. When she heard what Pu Buhua said, she turned around and walked in the direction of Yanchun Pavilion. Pu Buhua had left not long ago, so she walked casually and didn't go far. The three of them walked along the Yanchun Pavilion.

After walking along the long corridor of the pavilion for about a cup of tea, we arrived at the door of Yanchun Pavilion.

When they arrived outside the door, the two girls immediately stopped, looked at Pu Buhua slightly, and said: "My father-in-law has invited me, and my wife is waiting for you in the back room!"

Pu Buhua said "hmm" and did not go in immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the majestic queen's palace. He had never been here before, but at that time, he had never had the opportunity to go deep into the imperial palace.

At that time, he was just an inconspicuous little eunuch who was often bullied by other eunuchs and was assigned to do some jobs that no one else wanted to do. He could only peek at a harem compound like this.

He didn't even dare to think about going in. If he hadn't met her, he might not have been able to enter and leave such a majestic harem compound in his life, let alone today's Dr. Ronglu, the envoy of the Imperial Court, who is in charge of finance.

Pu Buhua, who holds an important position.

Pu Buhua closed her eyes slightly, recalling the scene more than thirty years ago in her mind.

He was seven years old that year. He was just like other children from farm families, just the age to lie in the arms of his parents and act like a spoiled child, but God did not give him such a good life.

That day, he remembered that he went to the market with several children of similar age. The market only happened a few times a year. He waited all morning and finally got permission from his parents before leaving the house.

Went along the market.

The market was very lively. As soon as he entered the market, he was immediately attracted by all kinds of fun things in the market. He greedily walked around the market for a whole afternoon. At dusk,

, he stopped outside a small candy stall selling toothpaste.

The stall was nothing more than a big pointed box, with a long square cabinet at the other end of the box. Under the cabinet was a round wooden box that contained a small charcoal stove. The charcoal stove

There was an ironware like a big spoon in the middle. Inside the ironware was white sugar. With the crackling sound of the charcoal stove, the sugar floated like hair-like strands of sugar. The seller selling Yatang was a young man.

The 60-year-old man, with wrinkles carved by time on his face, turned the wooden stick in his wrist. In a moment, a large circle of white candy like cotton lay on the small stick.

He looked greedily at the strings of maltose, but did not dare to step forward. He knew that there was no money in his pocket. He looked pitifully for a long time, squeezed the empty pocket, and decided to turn around and leave.

I don't know if it was God's will or his bad fate.

Just as he turned around, a shout suddenly came from his ears: "Pu Buhua, hey, it's really you, why are you here too?"

He looked around and found that on the other side of the maltose stall, a chubby kid about his age was waving to him excitedly, holding two maltose candies in his hands like two big cotton balls flying in the air.

"Park Jung-won?"

Seeing this man, Pu Buhua blurted out the name. Pu Zhengyuan came to him, pointed to an adult over there and said: "Pu Buhua, that is an uncle of mine in China. I will bring him here today."

I'm on the market, I didn't expect... to... meet you... What...?"

Park Zhengyuan handed over a maltose candy in his hand. Park Buhua hesitated and shrank his hand. But he did not accept it. When he was very young, his mother often warned him: "No reward for no merit! There is no free food in the world."

"Everything has a price!" He kept this in mind. Moreover, although Park Zhengyuan and he were from the same village, their family backgrounds were completely different. Zhengyuan's family had people from the palace, and one was in China.

My uncle, who was an official in the Yuan Dynasty, came from an extremely wealthy family. One or two maltose candies were just a drop in the bucket for his wealthy family.

Seeing that Pu Buhua didn't answer him, Pu Zhengyuan was slightly stunned and said, "What's the matter? Doesn't maltose taste good?"

"No!" Pu Buhua whispered with trembling lips.

Park Zhengyuan said: "Then why don't you want it?"

"My mother said, no reward for no merit!"

Pu Zhengyuan cheered and put the maltose in his hand into Pu Buhua's arms: "Your mother said that no reward is received for no merit. That is money. The maltose I gave you is not considered salary for you, right?"

He half-pushed and took the maltose, and gently took a sip in his mouth. The maltose was so fragrant...?"
