Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 77: Little Snot, we servants must listen to our master!

Just as the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao were trying to persuade Prince Han, Xiao Xizi, arranged by Zhu Zhanhe, had already arrived at the palace.

"This eunuch is looking for Hu Shangyi?!" The one who received Xiao Xizi was Hu Shanxiang, whom she had met once before.

At this moment, Hu Shanxiang appeared calm when she saw Xiao Xizi, but she was very nervous deep down.

Because when she saw Xiao Xizi, she thought of that tyrannical figure and the terrifying vertical pupils that were firmly engraved in her mind!
Now Hu Shanxiang is looking for someone to compile information about three generations in order to participate in the audition. Because of what happened before, Prince Han has agreed to be her recommender. She doesn't want any accidents to happen at this stage!
"Sister, I am Xiao Xizi, a eunuch serving under the Prince of Han's Palace. Fortunately, the Prince has rewarded me with the surname Zhu and the name Xilong!" Xiao Xizi bowed and waved in the direction of the Prince of Han's Palace, his face full of pride.

Hu Shanxiang sat upright on the chair, looking at Xiao Xizi's admiring eyes, and for some reason her heart was touched.

"Lady Shangyi is ill. I am her deputy. If you have any questions, you can tell me. It's the same for you!" Hu Shanxiang didn't want Xiao Xizi, or Xilong now, to see his aunt at all!

"Sister, as a servant, I must listen to the master! We servants must do whatever the master says. If the master says he wants to see Hu Shangyi, then I, a servant, must see Hu Shangyi!
Sister, although you are Shangyi's deputy, I still have to listen to my master, right?

And, sister, if you want to know what I, your servant, said to Master Shangyi, why don't you just come along? "Because of what happened between Hu Shanxiang and Zhu Zhanhe before, Xiao Xizi has always been very polite to Hu Shanxiang, calling her "sister" very kindly.

Hu Shanxiang was shocked after hearing what Xiao Xizi said. She also understood from Xiao Xizi's words that the other party would not say a word if he could not see his aunt! Moreover, the other party was holding a gold medal of the emperor in his hand!

"In that case, please come with me, Eunuch Xi." Hu Shanxiang looked at little Xizi's smiling but resolute face and decided to take him to meet her aunt.

Afterwards, Hu Shanxiang asked someone to inform her first, and then she brought Xiao Xizi to her aunt Hu Shangyi's room.

"Aunt, the person is here." Hu Shanxiang bowed respectfully to Hu Shangyi.

"I am Xiao Xizi, the eunuch in the service of the Crown Prince of Han's Palace. I am honored to meet Hu Shangyi!" Xiao Xizi bowed respectfully to Hu Shangyi.

"You are too polite, Eunuch Xi. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Hu Shangyi asked Xiao Xizi's purpose with a calm face.

Xiao Xizi first respectfully took out a gold medal from his arms. Hu Shanxiang took the gold medal with both hands and handed it to Hu Shangyi.

Hu Shangyi was also stunned when she saw the gold medal, but then she immediately reacted and took it respectfully.

"Hu Shangyi, this gold medal was bestowed by the emperor to our prince. It was agreed that this gold medal could be used to do something. I came here today to ask Hu Shangyi to fulfill this agreement and return the gold medal to the emperor after she has fulfilled it." Xiao Xizi lowered her head respectfully, her voice very gentle.

But Xiao Xizi's words made Hu Shanxiang nervous. She felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to do. She was very worried that this gold medal would stop her from continuing to participate in the selection!

She was so worried that she stared at her aunt nervously without blinking.

"Eunuch Xi, please speak." At this moment, Hu Shangyi suddenly felt happy in her heart. She really didn't want Hu Shanxiang to be selected as a concubine. She hoped that this gold medal could play the role as she imagined.

"Lord Shangyi, my prince hopes to use this gold medal. Please prepare some things for him," Xiao Xizi said under the expectant gaze of Hu Shanxiang and Hu Shangyi.

"Please prepare one hundred servings of the decoction His Majesty will drink today to treat convulsions, phlegm, heart palpitations, and dizziness!

Two pieces of white cloth, two sets of stands to support the cloth, and one set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

One set of meals for ten people a day and two sets of urinals
Two buckets of ice.

There is also a Dhāra Sutra quilt!
The above items should be prepared within one hour, kept for three days, and available for use at any time!
Please inform the above items, Master Shangyi." Xiao Xizi respectfully stated the things to be prepared, and temporarily added a Tuoluo Sutra quilt according to the prince's later request.

Hu Shangyi and Hu Shanxiang had dazed expressions on their faces. They didn't speak for a long time and had no idea what these things were used for!
These things were not valuable to the Han Palace, so why did the Prince of Han specially use a gold medal bestowed by the emperor to come to the palace to prepare them?

However, Hu Shangyi would not think so much. As long as she had the gold medal in her hand and as long as it was not a rebellion, there would be no problem for her to prepare these things!

"Okay, no problem. Please ask Eunuch Xi to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that these things can be prepared within an hour starting now." Hu Shangyi felt a little disappointed after hearing what little Xizi said, but still agreed respectfully.

"Thank you very much, Master Shangyi. I'll take my leave." Xiao Xizi bowed respectfully and stood up to leave.

"Shanxiang, please see eunuch Xi off." Hu Shangyi saw the joy in Hu Shanxiang's heart, so she asked him to see him off.

Outside the door, Xiao Xizi followed Hu Shanxiang respectfully. At a corner, Xiao Xizi suddenly spoke.

"Sister, please allow me to say one more thing. If you see our prince coming to the palace in the next two days, please go and guard the palace gate with Lord Shangyi!" Xiao Xizi said something quickly to Hu Shanxiang at the corner, and then left quickly without giving Hu Shanxiang any chance to ask.

After hearing what Xiao Xizi said, Hu Shanxiang was stunned at first, then her face was filled with horror. She immediately prepared to ask, but Xiao Xizi had already walked away. Hu Shanxiang opened her mouth and swallowed it back.

Slowly, Hu Shanxiang thought clearly about what she had just said. The Prince of Han was just one person. Even if he entered the palace with the Prince of Han, it would not have any major impact, so the possibility of rebellion was not high! What else could it be? Hu Shanxiang was hesitant. She could not think of so many things in her head...

On the other side, in the Prince of Han's Mansion, Little Nose had already placed a Tuoluo Sutra quilt for the Prince of Han and covered the coffin with a board.

When the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao saw this, they guessed that the old man was going to teach Prince Han a profound lesson, so they called back all the people who had been crying and continued crying.

Little Sniffle led a group of eunuchs out, and when they arrived at the door, they greeted Zhu Zhanhe again.

"Your Highness, please persuade Prince Han to apologize to His Majesty. There is no way that father and son can hold grudges overnight!" Little Nose was still very particular. He did things for money and did not forget to remind Zhu Zhanhe before leaving.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Steward. In the next few days, my father and I will go to the palace to apologize. When the time comes, please stand guard at the palace gate for us!" Zhu Zhanhe said to Xiao Bisi with a smile on his face.

After hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Little Nose was stunned, then his pupils shrank and his face was full of shock.

"Don't worry, Chief Steward, you will know soon. I won't see you off!" After Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, he ignored the dull little Nose and went back home with a heavy face.

He knew clearly that his grandfather would soon know what he had done today, and what Zhu Zhanhe wanted was for him to know!
