"Last time I heard from you that I was entrusted by someone, so it must be a very important person." Seventh Master said.
Jiang also thought about it, and really didn't know how to answer, so he could only vaguely say: "That's it."
"Then did your parents know that you entered the palace?"
"I did mention it."
"Do you live far away?"
"I was originally from Xiangcheng." Jiang Ye said.
Seventh Master had come down with such a series of questions, and he had some tentative intentions. He quietly glanced at Jiang Ye's profile, without a trace of impatience, as if he really didn't have the heart to defend himself, and then asked: "Being a eunuch in the palace, don't you feel awkward?"
"It was a little bit at first, but now I think it's okay." Jiang also said, turning his head and smiling at the seventh master, "It's not a real eunuch anyway."
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed and convicted," said the seventh master, "disguised as a eunuch to enter the palace, but it is a capital crime."
"Isn't it impossible?"
The more the Seventh Master talked, the more interesting he felt.
He is quite fast, he is obviously pretending to be a eunuch to enter the palace, but he does not hide that he is not an eunuch, saying that he is kind, it is better to say that he is lacking in heart.
Jiang didn't even know that the seventh master thought of him so much. At the moment, he was full of thoughts about when Wei Lin came over.
The two stopped talking, and after a while, the seventh master coughed.
Jiang also remembered that day, seeing him coughing up blood, and then looking at his appearance, he also knew that the seventh master must not be in good health. He said with concern: "Either the seventh master should go to rest, the wind is strong at night."
Qi Ye coughed for a while, then clutched his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
"It's not good to talk about you being a fake eunuch." Seventh Master reminded.
Jiang also nodded: "Well, I told you."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Facing the puzzlement of the seventh master, Jiang also took it for granted: "Didn't you see through it at a glance, why should I go around with you?"
"You are interesting." Seventh Master said, "I really don't know who can make you so loyal, even at the risk of entering the palace."
This statement made Jiang Ye feel a little bit in his heart. He thought for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, I have selfishness in myself."
"Can you tell me, this old man, what selfishness is?" Seventh Master said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you."
"It's still an old man, the seventh master looks at most forty." Jiang was also amused by his words, "You may not believe it when you say it. My selfishness is that the world is at peace."
"Great ambition."
"Just kidding, let's put it this way," Jiang also turned his face to look at the seventh master and said, "I felt that there was something wrong that others did, so I mixed it in and wanted to make it right."
Although Jiang Ye's words were vague, his meaning was clear. In addition, he was entrusted by others to enter the palace, and the seventh master almost knew it. This matter is inseparable from ten because it is related to the establishment of the reserve.
Thinking of this, the seventh master's expression became serious: "Why, do you think the emperor has done something wrong?"
"No, why the emperor."
"Otherwise, why did you enter the palace?"
"It's all said to be entrusted by others." Jiang Ye said.
"I thought you didn't like going around, but I didn't expect to fool my old man." Seventh Master said dissatisfiedly.
Jiang was also dumbfounded by what he said. He was obviously forty years old, and he said it like an eight-year-old child. In desperation, he had to say: "It's not a detour, it's just that some people want to do bad things, I came in to prevent them from doing bad things."
"Just in your identity as Eunuch Jiang?"
"Yeah, there's nothing I can do about it, if I can be Commander Jiang, I want to be too." Jiang also said this without hesitation.
The seventh master looked at him thoughtfully, and said after a pause, "Do you want to be the commander of the Imperial Guard?"
"No no no, just kidding." Jiang also waved his hand quickly, "Eunuch Jiang is very good, there are so many eunuchs in the palace, and no one notices me, which is very convenient."
The more the Seventh Master talked, the more he felt that the child in front of him was funny, sincere and careless, but he couldn't tell anything wrong. After Jiang also finished saying this, Qiye suddenly stood up, grabbed the cloak and wrapped it tightly: "It's getting late, see you by fate."
"Okay, goodbye by fate." Jiang also nodded, and the seventh master turned around and walked up the steps.
Jiang also looked at his back and always felt something strange.
Why does this person seem to have a very high status in the palace, but there is no servant or anything around him, and he talks without beginning or ending. A series of questions come over and he leaves after asking.
But he didn't wonder for long before Wei Lin came.
Jiang Ye was stunned when he turned his back to see the direction Seventh Master was walking, and was suddenly patted on the shoulder again.
He turned his head and Wei Lin stood in front of him with a smile: "Eunuch Jiang has been waiting for a long time!"
Jiang Ye didn't say a word, he started to pinch Wei Lin's waist, but Wei Lin was already used to being beaten by him, so he dodged to the side.
"You called me out, and then let me freeze here?" Jiang also said with a dark face.
"My pot, I'm bringing you a meal." Wei Lin said and went to pull Jiang Ye's hand.
Anyway, there was no one around, Jiang also let him lead, and was taken away by Wei Lin.
"You went to the imperial kitchen to steal food again?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, can it be called stealing when it comes to eating?" Wei Lin insisted.
"Then you stole."
"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Wei Lin said.
While bickering, the two walked to the guard's residence, Jiang also looked at him curiously, Wei Lin looked at him and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang also turned around and asked with a frown.
"You look like a countryman entering the city."
"Can you die if you don't say weird things?"
Jiang is
Curious about where Wei Lin usually lives, this is the first time he has come here. After all, Wei Lin is always looking for him. As a result, Wei Lin laughed at him, and Jiang was also very upset.
Wei Lin still smiled meanly at him, and at the end he raised a strange voice: "Hehe-"
Jiang could only stare blankly.
Wei Lin took him into his usual residence, which was clean and tidy, and there were food boxes on the table, presumably it was what Wei Lin said about snacks.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang also quickly sneered: "Yo, it's very clean, and it's changed?"
Wei Lin sat down on the table, opened the food box, and took out all the food inside and placed it on the table: "How can I do it? I'm the commander anyway, I'll just do it for someone else."
"Yeah, you're so sloppy."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, come and eat quickly." Wei Lin said.
Jiang also walked over to him and sat down. Looking at the table, he saw that there were quite a lot of dishes. The soup, soup, and pastries were all ready. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "You're stealing too much, haven't you?"
"I didn't steal it." Wei Lin said, picked up the bowls, chopsticks and spoons that had been prepared, and put the bowl of soup in front of Jiang Ye before serving it for himself.
Jiang also picked up the spoon and took a sip. It was almost cold, but the taste was really good. Compared with his usual porridge and side dishes, it was heaven and earth.
"Where did this come from?"
"Invited by the head of the imperial kitchen."
"Why do people invite you?"
"He lost the bet with me and I didn't ask for the money. He asked him to cook a table of dishes." Wei Lin said, the pride on his face was not concealed at all.
In line with the principle that not eating is a waste, Jiang also drank all the soup, filled the rice and vegetables by himself, and said as he ate, "Gambling money all day long, are you courting death?"
"Yo, I don't even go to the kiln for your sake, so you have to care about this hobby?"
"I'm too lazy to care about you."
After the two ate for a while, Jiang also suddenly said, "Why is there no wine?"
"Want to drink?"
"A little bit." Jiang also answered honestly, "And I always feel that you don't take this opportunity to get some wine, it's not your style."
"Okay, you know me well, but..."
"But what?"
After Wei Lin took the last bite, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, leaned into Jiang Ye's ear and said, "I'm afraid I can't help but want to do crazy things with you after drinking..."
"Huh?" Jiang didn't change his face, and raised his eyebrows.
Wei Lin hurriedly confessed and changed his words: "... dishes."
"I didn't know you could cook."
"It's alright, life is so long, you'll know it slowly." To say that Wei Lin was still deliberately begging for a beating before, then this sentence is completely different. He spoke lightly, and even went to the pastry plate when he spoke, but the seriousness in his words made Jiang unable to ignore it.
There was quite a lot of things on this table. After the two of them finished eating, their stomachs swelled up a bit, and then they lay motionless on the couch, like two corpses.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon." Wei Lin said.
Jiang also said "um" too lazy to answer.
"If you want, you can go back and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your family."
"When did you start doing this business of taking people out of the palace?"
"Speak well!" Wei Lin said, "Didn't you come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival for several years?"
"So it's not a bad year."
"But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will also be a palace banquet in the palace."
Jiang also turned over lazily, turned to Wei Lin and asked, "What is the palace banquet doing?"
"eat."
"Just eat?"
"Then tell me who doesn't need to eat?" Wei Lin scolded.
"whispering sound."
Wei Lin continued: "In the past years, the prince and important officials would come, but I heard that this year, only the people in the palace will go to the palace banquet. The emperor's intention is to keep it simple."
"Then the ninth prince is going too?"
"Yes." Wei Lin squinted at Jiang Ye and said, "I guess he might take you with him."
"Let's go then." Jiang Ye said, "Let's eat."
"You think too much, they eat, you watch them eat."
"… "
The two chatted a few more times, and it seemed that they were really tired, and Jiang also felt very sleepy. Thinking about the time, there were really few people who didn't sleep at this time. Of course, except for the guards who watch the night.
Seeing that he was no longer talking, Wei Lin suddenly turned around and put his arms around Jiang Ye's waist. Jiang was too lazy to move, so he simply let him hug him.
Wei Lin is a typical person who can't measure anything. Seeing that Jiang didn't respond, he moved his body and got a little closer until he got into Jiang Ye's arms.
His face was tightly pressed against Jiang Ye's chest, and his breath was full of Jiang Ye's taste.
Jiang also only heard Wei Lin's voice muffled: "Are you going back to Jiang Zhentai tonight?"
"Huh?" Jiang was also a little confused, his eyes were too sleepy to open, "I don't really want to go back."
"Then don't go back, just sleep here."
"also."
Jiang also gave a long yawn as he spoke.
Wei Lin rubbed a few times in his arms, and suddenly whispered, "Yeah."
"Um?"
"I want to cook with you."
"I don't know how to cook." Jiang Ye replied subconsciously, unable to turn his head around.
Wei Lin put his arms around his waist, turned him over, and put his whole body on Jiang Ye and said, "It's okay, I will."
