Chapter 202 The Terrible Human Race
"I don't remember that our Qingshu Palace had castrated dogs."
Behind Mr. Shang, the eunuchs in colorful clothes were carrying a big black dog, which was the one that was defeated by the cat bully in the imperial garden.
The big black dog was dying at this time, lying on his back on a simple stretcher, spreading his hind legs, displaying his bloody crotch in front of everyone.
When Concubine Zhang said these words, she seemed to be talking about the big black dog, but her eyes were always fixed on Manager Shang.
The eunuchs behind Mr. Shang all changed their colors and lowered their heads silently, fearing that they could not hide their expressions.
Manager Shang was smiling and showed no sign of anger.
"My dear concubine, it doesn't actually matter who raises this dog."
"The important thing is that His Majesty is summoning His Royal Highness the First Prince and inviting him to the Manna Palace."
After saying that, Manager Shang no longer looked at Concubine Zhang, but stared at the eldest prince and asked: "Your Highness, do you want to go with this old slave now?"
Seeing that she was being ignored, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but look livid with anger when Manager Shang used His Majesty's name again.
The eldest prince remained silent from beginning to end, his eyes looking at the big black dog being carried by the eunuchs in colorful clothes.
He had long recognized that this one was indeed the thin black dog he once raised.
Although the appearance was very different now, he could still recognize that it was indeed that dog.
The eldest prince also couldn't understand why his dog became like this just after not seeing him for a while.
During the last animal taming competition, the eldest prince left the dog behind on the stage and never saw it again.
"When Father summons me, I have no reason not to go."
"Mother, the child is gone."
The eldest prince bowed his hands to Concubine Zhang and prepared to go to Ganlu Hall with Chief Shang.
"Wait a minute, I'm going with you too!"
Although it was in the name of Emperor Yongyuan, how could Concubine Zhang feel relieved that Manager Shang came to see the eldest prince?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Concubine Zhang planned to go together to see what kind of medicine was sold in Manager Shang's gourd.
"Your Majesty only summoned His Highness the First Prince."
Manager Shang said this, but he paused and then said:
"But wherever the imperial concubine wants to go, I can't control it."
"My dear concubine, please do as you please."
After Manager Shang finished speaking, he ignored Concubine Zhang and took the eldest prince directly to the Manlu Palace.
Concubine Zhang snorted coldly, summoned her attendants, and prepared to go together.
Li Xuan, who was secretly observing, realized where the familiar feeling of deja vu came from when he saw the big black dog before.
It turns out that this big black dog is the thin black dog that the eldest prince brought to the animal training competition.
It's just that his current appearance is not comparable to that of Xin Quan, and his original appearance is nowhere to be seen.
But Li Xuan had already guessed the reason.
At that time, the last round of the animal taming competition was about eating Mengyuan Arowana and stopping at the command of the master.
But facing the temptation of Mengyuan Dragon Fish, how could the ordinary beasts stop?
The same was true for the big black dog. Faced with the eldest prince's orders, it ignored the orders and only focused on eating the remaining Mengyuan Arowana.
The eldest prince, who had no hope of winning, was so angry that he abandoned the thin black dog directly on the stage and walked away.
"No wonder this guy looks familiar to me."
Li Xuan muttered to himself.
But according to what Manager Shang said earlier, the big black dog seemed to have hit Feng Zhaoyuan.
But Li Xuan remembered that Feng Zhaoyuan was still in solitary confinement in Suliu Garden?
How did the big black dog break in?
Or did Feng Zhaoyuan sneak out?
Li Xuan was full of questions and planned to follow him to find out.
It's just that cats have many eyes and will inevitably attract attention.
So he said hello to Fat Orange and the other cat brother and asked them to go back and wait.
The cat brother didn't have any objections, but Fat Orange refused.
Fat Orange wanted to go with Li Xuan to see what interesting things these human races had that made him so curious.
To some extent, Fat Orange's curiosity is more serious than Li Xuan's.
But this may also be the reason why Fat Orange is more intelligent.
Although Li Xuan was a little helpless about Fat Orange's insistence, he had no choice but to agree.
Fat Orange is big in size but very intelligent, so you won't get into any trouble if you bring it with you.
Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince walked at the front. Behind them were the eunuchs and maids from Qingshu Palace on one side, and on the other side were Chief Shang and the eunuchs in colorful clothes he brought with him.
The well water on both sides did not interfere with the river water, and each stood in his own queue and headed towards the Manna Hall.
"Xian'er, just don't worry."
"It doesn't matter whether you raised this gelding or not, or whether it really caused trouble."
"The most I can do is beat him to death with a stick and ask your father for forgiveness."
"How can your father do anything for you because of a dog?"
Concubine Zhang glanced behind her as she spoke. She didn't know whether she was looking at the big black dog or Mr. Shang.
I heard Concubine Zhang's tone become even more vicious as she said:
"If it weren't for the gelding you raised, it would have been beaten to death!"
"How can you leave such a disaster by randomly climbing, biting and charging at your master?"
Concubine Zhang had no intention of lowering her voice and spoke to the eldest prince as if no one else was watching.
The eldest prince was half a step behind Zhang Guifei. He just listened to these words without any reaction and didn't even nod his head.
Li Xuan followed them from a distance and couldn't help but be extremely surprised when he heard Concubine Zhang's series of explosive words.
Although Mr. Shang is only a retired former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is quite prestigious in the palace, and most of the nobles are polite to him.
Because everyone knows that Manager Shang plays an important role in Emperor Yongyuan's mind.
Of course, the powerful power controlled by Manager Shang is also one of the reasons why everyone is afraid.
The colorful eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still holds a considerable part of the power in his hands.
I'm afraid it would be impossible for Manager Shang to transfer this part of power to Zhao Feng.
Perhaps only after serving as Manager Shang for a hundred years, Zhao Feng can legitimately take over this part of the authority.
All the way from Caiyun Palace to Ganlu Palace, Concubine Zhang showed no signs of nervousness on her face, and she even sneered at Manager Shang behind her whenever she had time.
Manager Shang just pretended not to hear this.
But Li Xuan could see clearly from behind, and the eunuchs in colorful clothes following Manager Shang clenched their fists.
I'm afraid that if it weren't for their different status, they would have swarmed around and beat up this long-tongued woman.
"As a noble concubine, this is really disrespectful to your dignity."
Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head after seeing it.
When I was in the Imperial Garden earlier, I saw that although the imperial concubine likes to be incompetent and angry, she is still very graceful when she has a cold face.
But now, except for the difference in her dress, Concubine Zhang is really no different from a street shrew.
I don’t know what kind of conflict there was between Concubine Zhang and the Chief Shang, which could make her lose her composure.
This huge group of people also attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Some nobles, eunuchs and maids passing by cast curious glances.
At this time, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but hold her mouth shut and pretend to hold out her chest, as if she was so beautiful.
It seemed to her that it was not a bad thing for the eldest prince to be summoned to the Manna Hall for questioning.
That’s it too.
The other princes and princesses had not seen their father much throughout the year. The eldest prince was specially summoned alone, which was considered a special treatment.
As for the conflict with Feng Zhaoyuan mentioned by Manager Shang, it was nothing to Concubine Zhang.
In Zhang Guifei's view, it was just that Feng Zhaoyuan couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to find an excuse to come out.
Emperor Yongyuan also followed the trend and wanted to give someone a favor.
After all, Feng Zhaoyuan is pregnant now, and holding it back is always bad for the child.
But as the saying goes, the emperor's orders cannot be easily changed.
Therefore, a loyal castrated dog like Mr. Shang gave Emperor Yongyuan an idea and used the eldest prince's dog to find an excuse to let Feng Zhaoyuan out.
Concubine Zhang was able to sneak into the position of concubine. Although she relied on her family background, she also had some abilities.
Although she has lost before, and lost miserably, she is not someone who can be manipulated by others.
If you want to find a suitable excuse from Qingshu Palace, you must be given corresponding benefits.
Otherwise, the gelding in the back belongs to whomever you like.
However, as the eldest prince is a son-in-law, it is not convenient to discuss such matters, so Concubine Zhang wanted to take action in person to gain more benefits for her eldest son.
Despite Zhang Guifei's diligent scolding along the way, she had already prepared a plan in her mind and was ready to deal with Emperor Yongyuan.
The closer she got to the Manlu Palace, the less Concubine Zhang spoke. Until the end she remained silent, and her every move was full of royal dignity.
Just a few steps away, Li Xuan witnessed with his own eyes how a street shrew transformed into a noble concubine.
"Life is really like a play, it all depends on acting!"
Li Xuan was already a little confused about which one was the real Concubine Zhang.
But no matter what, her ability to switch between this state freely is an incredible ability.
"Everyone in this palace has a unique skill."
Fat Orange on the side was also stunned.
Fat Orange can't understand the human language yet, but he can judge the other person's emotions through their tone and voice.
This was the first time for Fat Orange to see a creature with such violent mood swings.
Just a moment ago, there was a constant stream of bad words, but now it is as calm as an old monk in meditation.
At this moment, Fat Orange just felt that the human race was really terrible!
There is another reason for the cat's hair to explode.
There is no reason for people to explode!
At this time, they had arrived in front of the Manna Palace.
Ganlu Hall was the residence of Emperor Yongyuan. He would read memorials, study and have meals here every day when he retired from court, and summoned his concubines to attend his bed.
The Ganlu Hall is located at the east corner of the West Palace, next to the West Palace Tower, for the convenience of going to court every day.
At this time, an old eunuch of about the same age as the head monk was waiting in front of the gate of Ganlu Hall.
Manager Shang walked up to the old eunuch and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Concubine Zhang took this opportunity to wink at the attendants beside her.
The attendants stepped forward one after another to tidy up the appearance of Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince, striving to present themselves in perfect posture.
The old eunuch Zhang Guifei and the eldest prince also recognized each other in front of the Ganlu Palace. They were one of Emperor Yongyuan's cronies, named Wang Xi.
Wang Xi is not tall, with short stature, but he is short and strong, and does not look chubby.
I don’t know if he was born short or if he has shrunk with age, but he looks a little funny anyway.
He has a kind face, and although he is old, he has black hair and a radiant face.
He is a cheerful and energetic little old man.
After listening to Manager Shang's words, Wang Xi nodded, with a smile on his face, and walked to Concubine Zhang and the eldest prince.
Wang Xi had no authority. He was just the eunuch responsible for lighting night lamps for Emperor Yongyuan, but no one in the palace dared to despise him.
Wang Xi stepped forward and without saying anything, he took out a volume of imperial edict from his sleeve and sang loudly:
"The eldest prince Li Xian accepted the order——"
