The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 320 Meeting the Prince
The smile on the eunuch's face became brighter. What the eunuchs in the palace dislike the most are those officials who have been promoted from nouveau riche. I don't know the rules, such as leading the way and delivering documents are all rewarded with silver.

This rule is not expressly stipulated, it is just a convention.Those nouveau riche officials did not give rewards, and they, the servants, could not speak out to remind them.Naturally, eunuchs like them don't want to see jobs that don't bring any benefits.

And like some children from aristocratic families, the rules of entering the palace are clear, they only need to run errands and pass on the word, and they can get some money more or less. Comparing the two, they naturally like the children of the aristocratic family.

The eunuch's face was full of smiles, seeing that Changsun Ji was not around, he stopped reaching for the flower cake and ate it.Then he asked: "My lord, what is your temporary position now? Is there a document to meet His Highness?"

"Oh, my current position is General Wei. As for the documents..." Changsun Ji said that he did not continue here.

Although he was born into a family, this was indeed his first attack on an office position.He really didn't know that he needed to bring the documents. He originally wanted to directly express the situation to the prince face to face.

"My father-in-law, this is the first time for me to work in the palace, and many things are not very clear. I want to ask, what is the role of this document, is it necessary?"

"Hehe, my lord, don't worry for now. There is no need to panic if there are no documents. There are many people who report matters every day, and it is impossible for His Royal Highness to meet everyone, so some officials write a memorial and submit it to His Highness. Even His Highness Because I couldn't meet him due to time, I can be regarded as reporting my own affairs."

"If you don't have it, you can write a copy here and I will send it for you." The father-in-law explained to Changsun Ji with a smile.

Changsun Ji nodded.Some people understand what the document means.He raised his head and smiled at the father-in-law and said, "Then please trouble the father-in-law."

The father-in-law nodded, took a standard memorial from a table in the side room, and brought it over with the pen, ink and inkstone.

Changsun Ji opened the booklet, holding a brush in his hand, which was soaked with ink, then pondered for a while, organized his language, and began to write on the booklet.

In one go, Changsun Ji put the brush aside, held the memorial in his hand and blew it. After the pen and ink on the paper were dry, Changsun Ji handed the notebook to the father-in-law and said, "It's hard work for your father-in-law to make an extra trip, and please ask your father-in-law for this little money." Have some tea."

As he spoke, Changsun Ji took out two taels of silver from his bosom and put them in the father-in-law's hand together with the memorial.

"Oh, my lord, you are too polite. Give me the memorial, and I will put it forward for the general." The father-in-law took the memorial with a smile on his face.

Changsun Ji laughed back and nodded.

The father-in-law ordered a younger father-in-law to clean up the pen and ink on Changsun Ji's desk, then turned around and left the room with the booklet.

After leaving the room, the father-in-law weighed the money in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.He sighed: "It's still comfortable to talk to smart people."

The father-in-law stuffed the silver in his hand into his bosom, then turned his head to look at a side hall next to Changsun Ji with a sneer, and said with a sneer, "You idiot, you don't understand any rules. You still want me to work for nothing? Just wait there. Without the booklet, even if you wait until dark, you will not be able to wait for any results, and you will not be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As one of the eunuchs at the gate of the meeting hall, it is naturally impossible for one person to be in charge of only one official.

Before he received Changsun Ji, he also received an official. The official didn't know whether it was really reckless or really stupid.

Naturally, he was furious, seeing that the official didn't produce a memorial, he didn't remind him either.If it is clear, let the other party waste a day in vain. Anyway, the problem is not with him, and he is not worried that he will be involved.

As one of the most numerous groups in the palace, maybe he can't accomplish too many things, but he can break many things.

Changsun Ji waited quietly in the room. His matter was not important. Anyway, after writing the memorial, even if the crown prince didn't summon him, it didn't matter.

While Changsun Ji was waiting, three more officials entered the room.There are already many officials in the city, and with the addition of some local officials who came to Beijing, there will be more.

Changsun Ji didn't know the other party either, so he just nodded politely and let it go.

The two of them knew each other, and it was probably not the first time they had come to Beijing to report something.Seeing them talking in a low voice, Changsun Ji handed the memorial that he had prepared in his arms to the eunuch waiting by the side.

I don't know if Changsun Ji's team came to him, or the two or two yards he used had an effect.After waiting for a while, the father-in-law who just talked to him called him out, saying that the prince had summoned him.

Changsun Ji got up and followed his father-in-law to the meeting hall, then opened the door and walked in.

In the room, the prince was sitting behind a table, lowering his head and correcting something, and another eunuch was standing behind the prince, with his eyebrows lowered and his hands down, wondering what else he was thinking about.

Changsun Ji took a step forward, cupped his hands to the crown prince and said, "The last general, Changsun Ji, pays his respects to His Royal Highness the crown prince."

The prince seemed to have realized at this time that other people had already entered the room. He raised his head to look at Changsun Ji, then put down the brush in his hand, then stood up, walked into Changsun Ji, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Wencheng, you're back. You and I don't need to be so polite. Come, take a seat here."

As he spoke, the prince took Changsun Ji by the hand and pulled him to the side on the kneeling mat with brocade cloth.During this period, Changsun Ji wanted to take his hand out of the prince's hand countless times.

The prince was busy correcting something just now, it seems that it has been correcting for a long time.He himself was relatively obese, and his palms were already sweating a lot. Changsun Ji felt his palms were sticky right now.

It's fine if it's just sticky, the key is that the other party is a man, and being held by a man by the hand, Changsun Ji only felt a chill in his heart.

However, he can only bear it, and he has to show a happy look on his face, because in this era, this is an expression of his favor to you.If you pull your hand out, you don't know good from bad.

Fortunately, the prince didn't hold his hand all the time, and let go of his hand when he got to the seat.

Changsun Ji smiled and cupped his hands at the prince. After the prince sat down, he bent down and sat on the seat. By the way, he wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes without leaving any traces.
