Chu Xun who wasn't aware in the slightest of being sold off by Senior Official Song had just finished discussing some national affairs with the Grand Chancellor and Supreme General. He felt today his awe-inspiring Emperor's figure obviously had taken roots. This figure gave the certain new gonggong enough to see. The time was not early anymore. A certain person seemed to have stand long enough. Chu Xun's heart ached a bit. Hence, he said, "Zhen is well aware of the situation now. Let's stop here first." He was preparing to let these two aiqing leave.

The similarly had stood very long Grand Chancellor and Supreme General saluted to leave. Henceforth, the Grand Chancellor's legs were as if they were smeared with oil as he feared the young Emperor would think of another way to mess with him. The Supreme General on the other hand didn't leave, "Your Majesty, this gonggong beside you is……"

The Supreme General's sight turned at the side of the imperial throne where the gonggong who had been silently standing there and almost had no existence. The Grand Chancellor was not familiar with jianghu people and didn't get in touch with the people around Chu Xun back when he was still the Crown Prince. Supreme General was different. Previously he had always hear his son sighing around daily and kept worrying the Crown Prince Chu Xun would be injured. That time, Supreme General was confused and asked Di Mu Yang what was there to worry about. Then, he found out about the story of the Crown Prince's study partner, Mei Qian Deng and paid attention to her for a while.

"Xiao Jing Zi is not around now. This is a new one, Xiao Mei Zi." Chu Xun tried his best to maintain the calmness in his voice as he introduced to Supreme General Di.

The Grand Chancellor who already put one of his legs out of the door heard it and slowly pulled back his leg. He silently stood at the door, watching the play. Earlier during the morning court, he had felt that young gonggong was familiar. He only couldn't remember who. To think not only he had noticed, this young gonggong even attracted Supreme General Di's notice. What sort of figure was this eunuch?

"Mei?" Supreme General Di picked the most critical word and pulled it long.

Was the eunuch really that person from Mei family? Five years ago after disappearing, he heard the Emperor had been secretly finding the person. So he had finally found that person? The more he saw, the more similar that person was. Wasn't this the one who wasn't afraid of power and always rebuked Chu Xun about general principles, the one Chu Xun couldn't win against and finally got eaten cleanly?!

This could only be blamed to Little General Di who hid Mei Qian Deng's matters from his father. Such as Mei Qian Deng was actually a girl. Right now, Supreme General Di had various ideas in his heart as he stared at Mei Gonggong like a mini sun. It was always said that the heartfelt advice might offend the ears and good medicine tasted bitter. Little Young Master Mei was a fine one. If the Emperor wanted to use his talent and wished to bring back the person to serve him, it was nothing. But why, why that person had turned into Mei gonggong?

Mei Qian Deng who got stared by General was expressionless and calm. Instead, Chu Xun couldn't sit calmly and anxiously explained, "She likes to eat plums. So she's called Xiao Mei Zi. Does Supreme General have any opinion about zhen's personal eunuch?"

En?!

It's even as a personal eunuch?!

Supreme General's forehead throbbed. His molar teeth felt tingling. Three generations of Di family were generals and had seen many surprises in the army like picking honey locust[1]……

"Both aiqing, are there any more matters? If there is none, return now." Chu Xun stood up. If you're not going, zhen is going. Taking along Mei gonggong, he quickly returned to Ming Jue Palace.

Leaving behind Lord Grand Chancellor and Supreme General to look at each other.

Supreme General, "Grand Chancellor, say, His Majesty is already twenty years old yet why won't he marry?" It couldn't be that the Emperor didn't like females but males or even those neither man nor woman……?

Lord Grand Chancellor sighed, "That year when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he had blind dates with young girls of his age yet none succeeded. Yi, General Di, His Majesty also had a date with your daughter right?"

Supreme General nodded his head. His fourth daughter was really a headache. Until now, she won't agree to marriage. She was really a daughter who would anger her old dad to death.

"Right now, this minister's grandson[2] is already three years old yet His Majesty is still a single……If the late Emperor at the heaven has spiritual powers, will he bring down lightning and strike us to death?"

Supreme General had an expression of eating shit.

This can't do, we really have to think of something!

Have to think of something, to pull back our Emperor back to the straight route!

On the way returning to Ming Jue Palace, Chu Xun pretended to ask nonchalantly, "The first day becoming zhen's personal eunuch, how is it?"

Mei Qian Deng carefully recalled today's scenes and said, "Your Majesty's dragon might is vast and mighty."

Chu Xun was elated and raised his eyebrow, "That is naturally."

"But Mencius had said: When the monarch regards his ministers as his hands and feet, his ministers regard their monarch as their belly and heart, when he regards them as his dogs and horses, they regard him as another man; when he regards him as the ground or grass, they regard him as a robber and an enemy. Your Majesty doesn't seem like not merciful to those lords at all……"

Chu Xun's whole face darkened. He gritted his teeth, "Do you actually have the weird disease of mentioning Mencius that old man upon entering palace?!!!"

Female warrior Mei had an innocent face.

The two of them, one at front and one at back had entered the Ming Jue Palace when they saw Xiao gonggong waiting inside the main hall.

Previously, Xiao gonggong served Chu Xun's father. Now, Xiao gonggong served Chu Xun's mother. The moment Chu Xun saw Xiao gonggong he would feel anxious. But Xiao gonggong was politely and obsequiously said, "Your Majesty, laonu is here to send new personal record." Saying so, he pulled out two yellow cover books from his sleeves. On top of those books were Personal Record written clearly. Behind them there was also a timetable.

The people in the palace were smart people. Towards the sudden appearing young eunuch, Xiao gonggong didn't ask anything. Even his smile was a professional one. "Mei gonggong, keep well of this copy. After finished writing in it, go change it with the eunuch manager in the Secretary Office by yourself. This matter is not hard. You only need to write down His Majesty's daily activities truthfully." Xiao gonggong first gave a new book to Mei Qian Deng.

Mei Qian Deng received it and casually flipped it. It was empty.

"Laonu had helped you bring an old one. You just have to follow this format." Xiao gonggong explained and stuffed the other worn out book into her hands.

Mei Qian Deng accepted it and flipped it casually too. Countless small words, after a glance, they were just the daily life in the imperial residence, fasting, praying to Buddha, greeting his family, all those trivial activities. Her vision went lower and finally landed at a more eye-catching blankness.

Above the blank area was a title: Imperial Visit.

Female warrior Mei's pure eyes stopped at there for a moment. After a half moment of looking, she closed it back and saluted to Xiao gonggong, "Nucai understands now. Please be at ease, gonggong."

Xiao gonggong previously had visited Chu Xun's place a lot. Towards Mei Qian Deng, he was familiar too. To be truthful, he had amazing eyesight. How could he not recognise this Mei gonggong? Xiao gonggong knew Mei Qian Deng's earnest working style. Letting her to take care of the Emperor, he could relax too.

"Then, laonu will take his leave."

Chu Xun personally sent Xiao gonggong a glance. The most important one was to secretly warn the gonggong not to say too much with Empress Dowager. Xiao gonggong easily agreed and added, "Your Majesty, laonu will dare himself to add a line. Your Majesty doesn't need to be too worried. Empress Dowager doesn't care of the process and methods. The old one only wished to see Your Majesty's results sooner."

Empress Dowager was really his mother.

Chu Xun ate a heart calming medicine and freely walked back to the palace. He noticed Mei Qian Deng was still standing at the same spot and earnestly checking the personal record. Noticing Chu Xun's arrival, female warrior Mei raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, what's playing with horsetail whisk?" She pointed at the line a bit above the Imperial Visit in the Personal Record:

"It's night, Emperor plays with horsetail whisk on the bed."

Ei?!

Chu Xun was dumbfounded for an instant.

After that,

Ei——!!!

Xiao Jing Zi that dog servant, to actually write down this thing for zhen in the record!

Chu Xun scolded Xiao Jing Zi while he hurriedly rushed forward and snatch away the small yellow book from Mei Qian Deng's hands and held it tight to his chest. His face was burning red. He peeked at Mei Qian Deng and quickly turned away. Stuttering, he said, "It's that feather duster. Zhen felt the bed had something dirty on it so zhen took a feather duster to clean the bed."

Female warrior Mei frowned and narrowed her eyes. Really?

Chu Xun: Really!!!

(Senior Official Song: Playing with horsetail whisk = masturbate? Masturbate, do you understand?)
