I stayed at the inn for two days, and what happened in these two days is self-evident.
Jiang was also powerless, and the clothes Wei Lin was wearing could no longer be worn. After Wei Lin teased him with foul language for a while, he went to the market to buy him a new set of clothes to put on. In order to take care of Jiang Ye's waist and legs, the two walked slowly from the inn to Jiang Mansion.
"Do you really want to enter the palace?" Wei Lin suddenly grabbed Jiang Ye's hand and asked after the two had reached the gate of Jiang Mansion.
Jiang could only stop and look at him.
Jiang wasn't stupid either, knowing that the question Wei Lin asked was not the point, but the point he didn't ask.
"No way, the Ninth Prince should send someone here today." Jiang Ye said, changing from passive to active, grabbed Wei Lin with his backhand, and unconsciously rubbed his thumb on the back of his hand for a moment. He didn't even notice the tenderness in his actions.
"Then it's too late for you to change your mind." Wei Lin said seriously.
"It's not like he's gone again..." Jiang also answered with no confidence. To say whether he wants to enter the palace or not, of course not. Regardless of the blood and blood in the palace, the mere fact that he and Wei Lin had to meet again and then parted ways was enough to persuade him not to enter the palace.
Being rejected again, Wei Lin lowered his head in disappointment and looked at the hand he and Jiang Ye were holding. Jiang Ye's skin was slightly paler than his. At first, the hands that never had to be labored were now covered with thin calluses on the knuckles of the palms.
Jiang Ye suddenly said, "Wei Lin, a man will do what he says."
Wei Lin didn't answer, Jiang also continued to speak on his own: "I used to be a eldest young master who did nothing, but now I have a commitment to others, which is something I must do, and I think that's what a man should do. "
"I know."
"So..." Jiang also paused, "I also promise you that when these must-do things are over, I will follow you..."
"With me?"
"You can do whatever you want, we'll be together anyway." Jiang said uncomfortably.
Wei Lin raised his head to look at him, the other party had turned his face to the side, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, obviously shy. What Wei Lin was reluctant to do was said by Jiang also so lightly. He suddenly let go of it, and many other thoughts came to his mind.
Wei Lin grabbed Jiang Ye's hand, pulled the man into his arms, and hugged him vigorously for a moment. Before Jiang could also struggle, Wei Lin had already let go of him. Jiang also stared blankly at the person in front of him, waiting for him to express his position.
"I see," Wei Lin smiled brightly, showing his tiger teeth, "You can go."
"So easy to talk?" The sudden answer made Jiang confused, but instead became suspicious.
Wei Lin pulled him impatiently and walked towards the gate of Jiang Mansion: "Go, go, see you again." After speaking, he pushed Jiang Ye.
The two of them moved too much, which attracted the attention of others. There was a servant at the gate of Jiang's house, who happened to be a man who had been on a job for several years. Seeing Jiang Ye's appearance, he immediately recognized it: "Eldest, the eldest young master is back?!"
Jiang was also distracted by this exclamation. Seeing the servants coming up to him, he coughed dryly and said, "Well, I'm back, is Mrs. and Mrs. at home?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiading led him inside.
Jiang also turned around and wanted to say hello to Wei Lin again, but he didn't expect that Wei Lin was gone when he turned around.
He felt unhappy again in his heart: he said it reluctantly before, and he was reluctant to give up in every possible way.
Jiang also returned home. The matter of his joining the army has long been a foregone conclusion. He hadn't seen each other for three years. The family was eating and chatting, and the words were full of misses for Jiang Ye, which moved Jiang Ye.
But the fly in the ointment is that Jiang Min, this bastard, doesn't know where to go.
Just as he had made an appointment with Cen Lizhen, a carriage came to the gate of Jiang Mansion in the evening, and two men in casual clothes inside said bluntly to the servants that it was the Ninth Prince sent to pick up Jiang Ye.
When Jiang Min didn't come back at this time, Jiang also sighed helplessly, said goodbye to his parents, and got into the car.
"Young Master Jiang?" The leader also nodded towards Jiang as a greeting.
Jiang also bowed his hands and nodded slightly, "Exactly."
"My surname is Mu, Young Master Jiang, please."
Jiang also got into the carriage, the man surnamed Mu was also in the carriage, and the other was in charge of driving the carriage. The two of them sat in the carriage and had nothing to say. Jiang also looked at the scenery outside the small window and started to be stunned.
He remembered that when he said goodbye to Wei Lin that day, he was still looking at him from a distance, but now that he left, Wei Lin didn't even say goodbye. It was really unfair.
Jiang was also immersed in his own thoughts, and unknowingly, he had reached the gate of the south palace of Xuanyang Palace. Probably something happened, and the carriage stopped suddenly. Jiang also came back to his senses, and heard the driver outside: "In the car are the guests of the Ninth Prince."
The guard guarding the door seemed to still refuse to let him go. The man in the car lifted the curtain and stuck his head out: "It's me."
The guards outside seemed to know him, and Jiang also heard the people outside call respectfully, "Eunuch Mu."
"The ninth prince sent me to welcome the nobles into the palace, and I hope the guards will let them go."
"Since Eunuch Mu personally greeted him, I'll let him go naturally."
The carriage moved again.
Jiang also looked at the man in front of him. He had already sat back, and was closing his eyes slightly, as if he was closing his eyes and resting. But from the beginning to the end, no matter how he looked at it, he did not see that this person was actually a eunuch.
In Jiang Ye's impression, because eunuchs are neither male nor female, they always have a bit of femininity. The Eunuch Mu in front of him is like an ordinary man.
It's the same, even the Adam's apple stays in the throat, and it doesn't look feminine at all.
"Why does Young Master Jiang look at me like this?" Eunuch Mu suddenly said.
Jiang also panicked all of a sudden, thinking that Eunuch Mu had his eyes closed, but he didn't expect everyone to watch his behavior. Such a straightforward look is of course rude, and Jiang also looked away and said, "I'm rude."
"It's okay."
In fact, there is no need to say more, Eunuch Mu naturally knows the meaning of this scrutiny. Jiang is also not the first person to be curious about the eunuch, so there is nothing to dig into and nothing to be angry with.
For ordinary people in the market, being able to enter the palace is really a blessing for three lifetimes, and it is inevitable that they will be panicked. Jiang is also barely considered a peasant, at best a rich peasant. After entering Xuanyang Palace, he no longer looked out, the curtain of the small window was also lowered, and he and Eunuch Mu were alone waiting to reach their destination.
If I saw Cen Lixuan for a while, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. Jiang also thought to himself, at any rate, he has been with Cen Lixuan for so long, and he must be more familiar with others than others. He secretly reminded himself not to forget the rules in the palace, even if Cen Lixuan didn't care, if someone cared, he might cause trouble.
After all, he is not Wei Lin, and he knows how to cause trouble all day long.
The carriage walked for a long time before it stopped, Jiang also got out of the car with Eunuch Mu, but there was no trace of Cen Lixuan.
The sky was completely dark, and the palace looked really beautiful. The palace people carried lanterns and walked busy without saying a word. Jiang also stopped and looked around. Duke Mu had already walked out a few steps in an instant. Seeing that Jiang did not follow, he turned back and called out, "Mr. Jiang."
"what?"
"this way please."
"okay."
The two walked one after the other, and along the way, many palace servants greeted Eunuch Mu in a proper manner, and at a glance, they knew that his status was not low. They didn't stop until they came to a place that looked less magnificent.
It was a palace, and on the plaque was written the Platform of Consecration.
Eunuch Mu led him and said as he walked, "This is the residence of the Ninth Prince, and Young Master Jiang will come with me first."
"Yeah." Jiang replied calmly, but he couldn't believe it for a while. The regulations of this palace are really not very good. It doesn't even seem to be as luxurious as the General Xue's mansion he had been to. If it is said that this is the residence of the prince, it is too simple.
Thinking of what Cen Lixuan had said to him, Jiang also felt even more pitiful for Cen Lixuan.
But Eunuch Mu did not take him to see Cen Lixuan, but went to the servant's house instead.
The two entered the house with their front and back feet. There were still several eunuchs resting in the house. Seeing Eunuch Mu coming in, one or two of them were very energetic and quickly stood up and saluted, "Eunuch Mu."
"Go and get a new set of clothes." Eunuch Mu said and sat down at the table, and a little eunuch immediately went to pour tea for him. He didn't think the tea was good or bad, he drank it on his own.
Jiang also looked at him blankly and asked, "This is...?"
"Young Master Jiang, wait a moment." Eunuch Mu said, without the thought of asking him to sit down.
The clothes were quickly brought over and placed on the table. Eunuch Mu put down the teacup and said to Jiang Ye, "It's a lot of inconvenience in the palace, please ask Young Master Jiang to put it on."
Although the clothes are stacked, it can be seen at a glance that it is no different from the clothes worn by the surrounding little eunuchs. Jiang also stood on the spot and didn't do anything, Eunuch Mu winked at the others: "You guys wait for Eunuch Jiang to change his clothes."
With that said, Eunuch Mu got up and planned to go out.
Jiang also never thought that he would enter the palace to be a eunuch. At this moment, the clothes were in front of him, and he even had a few eunuchs wait for him to change his clothes, which really made him more uncomfortable than death.
If Wei Lin knew that he entered the palace to be a eunuch, I'm afraid his teeth would have laughed.
Jiang also began to regret why he was stubborn in the useless phrase "walk the talk". If you followed Wei Lin's meaning, the two would simply run away, and they wouldn't have to wear eunuch clothes now.
Others are eunuchs, and Jiang has no special feeling. He is like this to anything, not himself, and it doesn't matter, and he will not hold a contemptuous attitude.
But if he were to become a eunuch himself, and others would call him "Eunuch Jiang", even if the little brother in his lower body was not in serious trouble, he wouldn't be able to lose face.
When a few little eunuchs heard the words, they were about to come up to change Jiang Ye's clothes.
Jiang also panicked: "No, no, I'll do it myself."
Eunuch Mu turned around and smiled slightly. He could see Jiang Ye's discomfort, but he no longer insisted: "Then you guys, come with me."
"Yes."
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Ye was alone in the room. He was holding the clothes, but he couldn't do it for a long time.
The material of the clothes is not bad, as expected from the palace, and even the clothes of the servants are not ordinary coarse linen. Right now, Jiang also has no way to retreat. Now that he has entered the palace, it seems that he has no other way out.
To say this, it was because his brain was not sensitive enough at first, and he didn't expect this level.
In this palace, apart from the royal family, there are only guards and palace servants.
If you want to enter the palace unknowingly and protect Cen Lixuan closely, disguising as a palace servant is naturally the best choice.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang also persuaded himself to change into his clothes.
There was still a bronze mirror in the room, but after he put it on, he didn't want to look at it, so he pushed open the door and walked out.
Eunuch Mu stood outside waiting for him. Seeing Jiang also dressed neatly, he smiled softly: "Then Eunuch Jiang, let's go."
Jiang also blushed instantly when he was called like that, but he still pretended to be calm and replied, "Yes."
