Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 101
As the saying goes, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door", this palace steward is the person who holds the real power in Poyang Palace.

He had King Poyang on his back, and even the governor of Jiangzhou did not dare to underestimate him.

Not to mention Dong Cheng.

Dong Chengcai was just a seventh-grade official who joined the army.

After Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, he saw a look of eager inquiry in Dong Cheng's eyes.

Because the Dong family has never had anything to do with the Poyang Palace.

The only intersection was the last time Zhu Xiuyuan stopped the expedition team led by King Poyang and invited Dr. Zhang to diagnose and treat Dong Shuzhen.

This is not a friendship at all.

But now, the palace steward came to visit in person, which greatly exceeded Dong Cheng's expectation.

Zhu Xiuyuan responded with a reassuring look.

"Dong Canjun, Mr. Zhu, and Miss Dong, I always come to the Three Treasures Palace for everything. I came to your mansion this time to tell you some good news."

The palace steward smiled, very casually.

His status is much higher than that of Dong Cheng. Now that he has come to Dong Mansion, he will naturally not be too restrained.

"I wonder what kind of good news this is? Would you bother your housekeeper to come to the house in person?" Dong Cheng said politely.

"Perhaps you don't know that some time ago, the prince presented your majesty with the new tea made by your house."

"what!"

Dong Cheng was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair.

His face was full of disbelief and horror.

As long as anything has anything to do with the royal family, it's hard to say. Good things may turn into bad things, and bad things may turn into good things.

In short, everything cannot be judged by common sense, and you need to be careful and alert at all times.

One day, the Dong family may become the victim of the struggle between the princes of the imperial court.

Dong Cheng had been an official in the yamen for many years and knew this very well.

Zhu Xiuyuan's hands also shook and he blinked. Why did he hear it all of a sudden?
And Dong Shuyu finally figured out why the palace housekeeper asked her by name to come here to meet guests.It turned out to be related to fried tea!

"Don't be impatient, Dong Canjun. Your Majesty presented the fried tea to Your Majesty without your consent. This is a sign of your lack of thoughtfulness."

The palace steward was still smiling.

But everyone sitting here could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.

In fact, you can't blame him, because Dong Cheng's behavior just now was too abnormal. It was surprise and horror, not surprise!

"Don't dare!" Dong Cheng immediately handed over his hand: "Your Majesty's move will help the reputation of fried tea. How dare you blame your Majesty! Butler, please stop scaring your Majesty."

Dong Cheng shook his head secretly, and if he offered the new tea to His Majesty, it would be considered an opportunity, and at the same time, a new crisis might arise.

But now that things have happened and are irreversible, there is only one way to go.

As for blaming King Poyang?
Who dares!
Besides, the fame of fried tea is growing day by day, and sooner or later it will spread to the palace.

The palace steward nodded slightly, not taking it seriously, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very fond of your palace's roasted tea, and personally ordered it to be included in the purchase list of the palace treasury."

"I came here in person. In fact, I was entrusted by the prince to inform your house of the matter personally, so as to avoid the palace treasury coming to buy fried tea and your house being unprepared."

"I see, it's time for the housekeeper!" Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan handed over their hands.

"Dong joins the army, Mr. Zhu, you are welcome. Mr. Zhu, the prince is very fond of you!"

The palace steward looked Zhu Xiuyuan up and down, as if it was the first time he saw Zhu Xiuyuan, and nodded frequently, with a satisfied expression, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.

Dong Cheng frowned secretly, raising his vigilance.

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I am a low-ranking official with so little virtue and talent. I have so little talent and little knowledge. I'm really... ashamed of myself!"

"I don't seem very happy to see you two?" the palace steward suddenly asked strangely.

"The steward has misunderstood. The Dong family is naturally happy that roasted tea can be included in the purchase list of the palace treasury. Moreover, the steward is naturally grateful to the prince and the steward for having the steward personally come to the humble residence to inform the matter!"

When Dong Cheng said this, the palace steward's frown slightly dispersed, and he asked again: "What about Dong Canjun and Mr. Zhu..."

The housekeeper of the palace has been assisting King Poyang all year round. He is naturally a good person and has an excellent ability to observe words and emotions. He has noticed that Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan have gloomy expressions on their faces.
