Chapter 2912 I think I've seen you somewhere
The prince was very surprised to see the hangover soup on the table. He first glanced at the eunuch who brought the soup, then looked up at Shi Li as if he had some feeling.
Shi Li didn't expect the prince to be so perceptive, but since he had already discovered it, he nodded openly.
Now she is a eunuch of some standing, and she still has this little bit of power. She can take it as a thank you for the prince's care for her during her few days in the Eastern Palace.
After the banquet lasted for more than thirty minutes, a general who had fought with the emperor on the battlefield in his early years stood up under the influence of alcohol.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has only been gone for a few years, and Your Majesty..." The general held up the wine glass, his voice rough, but he couldn't help but look at the prince with pity, "Back then, the Empress followed Your Majesty from poverty..."
It was obvious that this upright general wanted to impress the emperor with his old friendship, but as soon as he said this, he was interrupted by the emperor.
"Come here, General Ji is drunk, send him down to rest." The emperor looked at General Ji, his voice full of authority and deep warning.
General Ji shut up.
Whether he was truly drunk or just trying to take advantage of the situation to speak, only he knew. But being grateful for Empress Zhu's kindness was one thing, and wanting to save his own life was another.
He was willing to speak for the prince, but with the emperor's attitude, he dared not say more.
After General Ji left, no one dared to bring up the topic of the Crown Prince. Instead, two rookie courtiers, who had done a good job for the Emperor that day, subtly praised the Tenth Prince over their toasts.
"Yes, the tenth one looks a lot like me."
Unlike General Ji's earlier mention of the prince's indifference, this time the emperor gave a very positive response.
This was another test of the emperor by his subordinates.
The emperor might not be unaware of this, but the answer was his attitude.
The banquet lasted until the palace was about to be locked. Everyone had to leave the palace quickly, and the prince was no exception.
Now was no longer the time for him to stay overnight in the palace at will.
But when I walked out, it started raining again.
The misty drizzle in the night enveloped everything, creating a layer of silver-gray fog.
The prince was walking alone on the empty palace road, with no one close to him.
When Shi Li caught up with an umbrella, she saw this back.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Li called out "Your Highness the Crown Prince" and then chased after him.
The prince stopped when he heard her voice and turned back in surprise.
"Eunuch Shi?"
Shi Li walked out by herself, not daring to delay too long, and just stuffed the umbrella into the prince's hand.
"Your Highness, the road is difficult to walk on at night, please watch your step."
She couldn't say anything else, so she hurriedly took her leave. Not knowing that the prince stood there for a long time, watching her hurriedly leave.
When he returned to the Yangxin Palace, the chief eunuch was standing outside the door. Seeing Shi Li hurried back, he sneered rudely, relying on the fact that the eunuchs outside were all young eunuchs trained by him.
"Little boy, don't blame me, your master, for not teaching you what you can and cannot do."
Shi Li remained silent and just nodded.
Now the emperor intends to train him, and many daily trivial matters are handed over to him. The steward looks kind in front of the emperor, but secretly wishes Shi Li would die immediately.
So Shi Li is now behaving very cautiously, not daring to be negligent or distracted in the slightest.
Every day is like walking on thin ice.
[After seeing my daily life, I feel like being a slave isn't that hard. At least I'm not going to lose my head or my life~]
Although the hardships are incomparable, seeing how diligently my childhood friends worked, I feel like my life can still be saved.
[Little boy, your pain has healed many people~]
Shi Li looked at these strange comments speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
This year was also the year of the imperial examination, which was held every three years.
The imperial examination was used to select talents for the entire country. Its importance was greater than the modern college entrance examination, so the process was more complicated and rigorous.
Recently, the emperor has often summoned ministers to his study to discuss with everyone how to set questions. At this time, not to mention Shi Li and the general manager, even a fly would not be able to fly in or out of the emperor's study.
The crown prince, as the heir apparent to the throne, was excluded from such an important matter.
This sends another signal to the outside world.
