ront of him was infinitely magnified, and then his vision went black instantly. His nostrils ached violently, and he felt like his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. Immediately, snot, tears, and bl...Chapter 914: The Xu Family, Can Still Play One Step Further

As soon as the eunuch left, Xu Changqing's despondency vanished completely. At this moment, his heart was filled only with gratitude and excitement.

I am grateful for the Prince's generous grace, and I am excited that the Xu family now has a chance to rise.

And this fifth-rank imperial decree, was a clear signal given by the Crown Prince. The Xu family, could still climb one more step.

Thinking about the possibility of a small clique led by the Xu family emerging in the court in the future, Xu Changqing couldn't help but tremble all over.

He waved his hand grandly and shouted, "All the servants in the house will receive two months' wages as a reward! And immediately order the kitchen to prepare a feast. Today, everyone gets their share of delicious food and drink, the house will provide enough!"

Xu Changqing's words caused the crowd to erupt in even louder cheers.

Xu Changqing burst into laughter, then turned his head to see Xu Junlou hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong" Xu Changqing asked.

Xu Junlou hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle, that eunuch's position in the Eastern Palace is even higher than mine. He could be considered half my subordinate. What you just said makes it difficult for me to carry out my duties."

Xu Changqing smiled upon hearing this.

He shook his head and said, “Jun Lou ah, this officialdom, you don't say play understand, is look also still can't see.”

Xu Junlou was not convinced.

Xu Changqing said slowly, "In the East Palace, there is only one master. Do you know who it is"

“That goes without saying, it has to be His Highness.” Xu Junlou said matter-of-factly.

"That's right, Your Highness is the only master in the East Palace, and you too, that eunuch, even Wan Jiaojiao by His Highness' side, are essentially people who serve His Highness. You have no distinction of rank."

"Otherwise, Wan Jiaojiao has no official position, she's just a wandering name. But you are the Jianshifu Cheng (an official title), do you dare to command her"

Xu Junlou was not stupid, just inexperienced. He immediately said, "That certainly can't be done. She is the Lord's number one confidante. The Lord even calls her the East Palace's first licking dog in private. Although my nephew doesn't quite understand what a licking dog means, it just sounds unpleasant to hear. But that's precisely why it shows how different the Lord treats her compared to everyone else."

That's all.

Xu Changqing said earnestly, "That eunuch just now was the same. Don't underestimate eunuchs. The most powerful eunuchs in our great Qin Empire could make all civil and military officials tremble. Three Treasures, the Grand Eunuch of the East Factory, you haven't seen his prestige before."

As a close confidante of the Crown Prince, you are constantly surrounded by people in his inner circle, including yourself. You must learn to set aside your own rank and treat others based solely on their standing in the Prince's eyes.

“That eunuch is indeed a minor figure. He probably serves the prince with imperial edicts, which means he's still useful to him. And as you are close to the prince, unlike the civil and military officials of the court, your most important task is to serve him well. You need to know what the prince likes and dislikes. How could you possibly know that since you're just arriving”

"And these things you don't know but desperately need, are precisely the things those inconspicuous eunuchs and maids know well."

"Flash a smile, say some kind words. You'll save yourself many detours, win over His Highness' favor, and make him think you're truly dedicated. Isn't that a worthwhile deal"

Xu Junlou listened carefully to these words, and was greatly shocked.

He always thought that just doing his job honestly was enough, but he never quite figured out what "doing a good job" actually meant.s an emperor, killing any individual from the other side is meaningless.Struggles between nations, the life and death of one or several individuals, cannot fundamentally affect the overall situation.O...
