Chapter 215 Special Bribes(2/2)
Chen Xi shrank his hand and avoided the pink towel.
The round-faced palace maid was stunned for a moment, and quickly wiped the wine on Chen Xi's sleeves, and then said in a mosquito-like voice: "The Empress Dowager asked me and servants to serve the Lord. Until it was dark... the Lord was not allowed to leave the palace, there was a soft couch inside..."
At the end, the sound was so faint that Chen Xi was completely clear.
In order to bribe him, Empress Dowager Zhang set up a maze in the palace. In addition to arrange wine and food, she also stuffed him two beautiful little palace maids.
This matter sounds very beautiful and charming. Chen Xi knew that the two palace maids could be taken away. He turned around and looked at the sky outside. It was just half past, which means it was only two hours before it was completely dark. During this period, he could experience the addiction to being an emperor in the curtain of the palace.
Chen Xi thought to herself: "What does Empress Dowager Zhang mean? I want to let me have a cholera palace so that I can have a handle to fall into her hands and force me to submit?"
Chen Xi knew how to be sensible. No matter how charming or obedient the two palace maids in front of him, he could only restrain his evil thoughts. This is a major event involving human ethics. It seems to be the grace of Queen Mother Zhang. If he really wants to do it, he will leave a big stain on his life and will be used by Queen Mother Zhang to threaten him at any time.
"I don't understand the meaning of the Empress Dowager." Chen Xi said with a cold tone and frowned. "I was summoned to the palace, but I just met the Empress Dowager and said something. It is a great honor to be given food. If you don't dislike me, you can sit down and have a meal with me."
The other palace maid had opened all the lids at this time, and an attractive fragrance drifted in the room. Hearing Chen Xi's words, the two palace maids looked at each other, then shook their heads together, obviously asking themselves that they were not qualified to have dinner with the top civil officials of the dynasty.
They were equivalent to packing two gifts, which were specially prepared by Empress Dowager Zhang to win over Chen Xi. For them, they were very lucky. Only a very small number of palace maids could be lucky enough to get the emperor's blessing. After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he lost interest in palace maids. It was difficult for them to get the emperor's favor.
For two girls who have entered adolescence and are confused about love, the man in front of them is majestic and has a high prestige in the morning. It is the only choice for the lover in their dreams. Being able to get the favor of such a man is something they have been thinking about day and night, so they have no rejection in their hearts, and even a little shame and expectation.
"Sir, I serve you with wine."
The round-faced palace maid thought Chen Xi had agreed to stay with her and turned around to drink again, but was stopped by Chen Xi.
Chen Xidao: "If you don't want to stay for dinner together, just wait aside."
Chen Xi's tone became cold. Although the two palace maids obeyed the Queen Mother's orders, they did not dare to disobey Chen Xi's wishes and could only retreat aside.
Chen Xi picked up the wine glass and drank it a little. He felt that the concentration of the wine was stronger than the white wine on the market and was fragrant and mellow, which means that this was aged wine in the palace. I don’t know whether it was passive or not, but I didn’t expect that such dirty things would not appear.
I felt a little uneasy and was stared at by two palace maids who seemed to be eyeliners. Chen Xi was very uncomfortable with the meal.
The two palace maids wanted to get close several times, but they were rejected by Chen Xi.
Chen Xi finished the meal in the shortest time and then stood up: "It's not too early, I will leave now. You will go back to see the Queen Mother, and I will thank her for her kind hospitality for the sake of me!"
When the two palace maids heard that Chen Xi was about to leave, they became nervous. If they had not completed the entrustment of Queen Mother Zhang, it would be inevitable to go back and be punished. Moreover, they had the only chance to get close to a big man like Chen Xi in their lives. After passing this village, there would be no such store.
"Sir, I hope you understand me."
The round-faced palace maid knelt down and said, "If the servant cannot fulfill the orders of the Empress Dowager, he will be beaten to death after returning!"
"Please understand."
Another palace maid also knelt down and kowtowed.
Chen Xi looked out the window and seemed to be shaking. Obviously, Empress Dowager Zhang was worried and sent someone to follow her.
Chen Xi thought to himself: "Empress Dowager Zhang knows how unreliable her two younger brothers are, so he knows that it is too ridiculous to keep the ministers in the palace to be greedy and happy, but he still does this without hesitation... If I just leave like this, Empress Dowager Zhang may be angry and will do his best to deal with me."
"Since you two said so..."
Chen Xi sat down and said, "The official will take a break, but he can't wait until dark before leaving. At most, he can drink a cup of tea to eliminate food... I am responsible for the emperor's order and are busy with affairs. I really can't stay in the palace for a long time. Please help me pour a cup of tea."
The two palace maids stood up happily and hurriedly poured tea and handed water to Chen Xi.
