This trip to the Peaceful Life Palace was a lesson. If this old empress was a bit silly and really asked him to stay behind to accompany her, he would really be at his wit's end.
Even if Consort Hua wanted to help him, it would be useless. After all, she was the Empress Dowager, the mother of the Emperor.
If he really had to face this old woman every day, he might as well die.
At the very least, there was some room for resistance.
However, it was already difficult for eunuchs to wield power. It was even more difficult to master martial arts.
And the reason was that the eunuchs of Ye Fan in the past dynasties were simply too outstanding, such as Lao Ai of the Old Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, Shi Changshi of the Han Dynasty, Gao Lishi of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.
The Qing Dynasty had just replaced the Ming Dynasty not long ago, so it was very sensitive to the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty manipulating power. After all, these emperors were all self-proclaimed wise rulers and would always do things that were not used in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng's father, Kangxi, was not the only one who was disgusted by the interference of the harem and the eunuchs in power. Even Emperor Yongzheng himself was opposed to it.
Now that Ye Fan was in the harem, although he had basically gained control of some of the power in the harem after becoming the deputy chief eunuch, it was still extremely difficult for him to really want something substantial.
Along the way, Ye Fan was frowning.
No matter how awesome he was, he could only be the overlord of the well in this cage.
"The Imperial Palace is an important place.”
Just as Ye Fan was thinking, a guard's reprimand suddenly sounded in front of him.
When he looked up, he realized that he had arrived at Yangxin Hall, where Emperor Yongzheng handled government affairs.
"I'm sorry. I was so distracted that I forgot to look at the road. I am the eunuch in charge of the harem. I have just finished my duties and have come to pay my respects to the emperor.”
Hearing Ye Fan's words and knowing that he was the deputy director of the harem, the guard's attitude improved slightly. Then, he said,"So it's Eunuch Ye. In that case, wait here for a while. I'll go in and report.”
Ye Fan politely returned the greeting and said,"Thank you for your trouble."”
As the guard entered the outer hall of Yangxin Palace Hall, an old eunuch walked out of Yangxin Palace Hall not long after. He sized Ye Fan up and nodded, saying,"The emperor has allowed it. Come in."
Arriving at the inner hall of Yangxin Palace Hall, there were other people in the room. The old eunuch came to the Emperor's side and said softly,""Emperor, that Eunuch Ye is here."
"Oh." Emperor Yongzheng, who was wearing a dragon robe, replied softly. Then, he slowly turned his head from the two Taoist priests in the room and looked at Ye Fan."You're the newly appointed deputy chief eunuch, Ye Fan?”
Ye Fan retracted his gaze when Yong Zheng turned around. When he heard his words, he immediately replied,"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Hmm…he looks like a talented person. Although he is only a eunuch, he is not bad. Now that the Empress and Consort Hua both value you, this one won't say anything more. In the future, you must do your best in the affairs of the Inner Palace. If you do well, whether it's Consort Hua or this one, they will not treat you unfairly. Do you understand?”
Although Yongzheng deliberately emphasized his tone when he spoke, intending to show that he was an emperor who used both kindness and might, to Ye Fan, who was already used to watching palace dramas, it was just that.
"Yes, Ye Fan will definitely do his best.”
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave.”
As Emperor Yong Zheng's words rang out, the system notification sounded in Ye Fan's mind.
" Mission Reward: Random Western medicine x10."
In a virtual item space, there were ten boxes of western medicine.
" Painkillers, cold medicine, anti-heat medicine, anesthetics…"
"Hmm? Why are you still here?" Just as Ye Fan was stunned, Emperor Yong Zheng's dissatisfied voice sounded.
