Imperial City

Zhou Deshun died.

When he was on duty this morning, he accidentally broke the blue and white plum vase with peony patterns on the southwest corner of the outer hall of the Qianqing Palace. This vase is a famous product of the previous dynasty and has a history of more than a hundred years. , a total of five layers of colors, a circle of covered lotus patterns are painted on the shoulders, and there are patterns of miscellaneous treasures such as coral and ganoderma inside.

It was said that he accidentally tripped himself while wiping the body of the bottle, and smashed the porcelain bottle on the ground together, making a lot of noise.Others are fine, but it's a pity that he smashed the porcelain bottle to pieces.

When Zhou Shunde saw that he had broken into the cauldron, he was so frightened that he peed in his crotch, and he was on the ground in a daze.

The servants in the temple heard this movement and turned their heads to look at him and gasped in fear.Ho! Good guy! The priceless treasure is so worthless!

This was not a trivial matter, the maids and eunuchs knelt obediently and waited for punishment, and the servants who were closer to Zhou Shunde quietly moved away.

The little eunuch who was in charge of this group of slaves in the outer hall hurried over and clapped his hands angrily when he saw the scattered pieces of porcelain scattered all over the floor, committing a crime! This is really beyond repair!

"Oh! My ancestor!" He kicked Zhou Shunde angrily with a sad face, turned around and walked out of the hall to the study in the back.

In the inner study, the emperor was approving the paperwork that had been submitted to the desk in the past few days. Anxi stood behind him waiting for orders. It was already September, and the weather had cooled down. In two or three days, it would be the Double Ninth Festival. All the ministers can also have a day off.

I don't know if it's because of the cool weather or the festive season is approaching, but the Holy Majesty has been quite happy these few days, and Anxi's work has been very smooth.

The Holy Majesty cared about Anxi's advanced age, and allowed him to rest for half a stick of incense every half an hour's difference.The eunuch in charge of the outer hall was pacing anxiously at the door of the inner study at this moment, he walked around the open space in front of the door five or six times before finally looking forward to An Xi.

"Master An, please slow down, Mr. An. I have something to report to you." The eunuch in charge stopped An Xi's way and bowed to salute.

"Why are you in such a hurry, don't go to the side room and wait for our family to come to this inner study to stop people, if the Holy Majesty sees it, how decent it is!" Anxi was displeased, took him a few steps away, and taught him in a low voice.

"Back to Mr. An's words, the small one is reckless, the small one is convicted, but it happened suddenly, and the small one can't help but forget the rules for a while."

An Xi frowned: "Come on, let's talk quickly, our family will still be working after a while."

"Going back to Lord An, Zhou Deshun from the outer hall accidentally smashed the blue and white peony-patterned plum vase in the southwest corner when he was polishing the large piece!"

Anxi was surprised: "What? You said that the blue and white peony vase was smashed?"

"Go back to Master An... then it's the bottle." The eunuch in charge lowered his voice, and at the end he didn't have the guts to continue talking.

"You dog slaves! No one can worry about it all day long! That blue and white plum vase with tangled branches and peony patterns is a famous product of the former dynasty, a priceless treasure! You are so good, you will fall if you say it, ah? You are better than others An extra head will not work!" An Xi was heartbroken.

"Follow me to the Holy Majesty to plead guilty!" An Xi turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and the eunuch in charge tremblingly followed behind him.

The two went into the inner study and reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor frowned while holding the ink pen: "A group of useless things, what should I do?

"Hey." The two backed away despondently.

What the Holy One meant was to deal with it according to the palace rules. According to the palace rules, Zhou Deshun was not able to do his job well and damaged the treasures in the palace.

Anxi led the people to the outer hall to deal with the slaves. Zhou Deshun was lying on the ground and shivering, the hem of his palace robe was wet, and the black marble tiles under his body were also covered with puddles of water.

When the stinky smell of urine came, An Xi frowned, covered her nose and backed away in disgust: "Drag him to the Punishment Division." He said indifferently.

Hearing this, Zhou Deshun seemed to have finally come to his senses. He looked up at An Xi, crying loudly in pain, "Master An! Master An! Please spare me! Please save my life! My little one!" From now on, I will be your cow and horse! Well..."

Before he finished speaking, he asked several young eunuchs to gag their mouths with towels, tied them up and dragged them to the Punishment Department.

The servants kneeling on the side were all trembling and horrified at this moment.Anxi glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said in a sinister manner: "Our family sees that you have been living comfortably these days, and you have forgotten your identity after a long time. You are very rough when you work as a errand, and your mouth is thin. It is prying Let's pry open Luo." His voice was clearly not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears like thunder.

For a moment, a servant who was a thief and falsely discussed the privacy of the harem weakened his legs and collapsed to the ground. "If we let our family find out that you are dishonest in errands or have your own little calculations in your heart, today's Zhou De will be tomorrow's you by the way."

"The young ones don't dare, but the young ones respect Master An's teachings."

Anxi sneered after finishing speaking, and took a few young eunuchs back to the inner study with a flick of his sleeves.The rest of the servants cleaned up the messy outer hall and knelt back to their original place to be punished honestly.

It was night when Wei Qi learned that Zhou Deshun was gone, and now it was getting dark but Zhou Deshun had not returned. Wei Qi was feeling strange when he saw Xiao Fangzi who lived in the next room push the door in. Xiao Fangzi was the same age as Wei Qi , only a couple of months younger than him, with big round eyes, thick lips, and a small nose, which is a pleasing appearance.

"Brother Wei." Xiao Fangzi called affectionately: "Something happened to Zhou Deshun, and there is no one available. The superior sent me to give you medicine."

Wei Qi was startled when he heard that Zhou Deshun was gone, but he didn't find it strange. This result was within his expectation, it was just a matter of time.

"Well. Then I will trouble you." Wei Qi said calmly.

Xiao Fangzi agreed, and fetched a medicine bottle to change Wei Qi's medicine.Since he entered the palace at the age of 12, he was transferred to work in the Qianqing Palace. At first, he was just a sweeping eunuch in the outer court. Later, he was appreciated by his superiors for his clever work. After a year, he was promoted to work in the outer palace. A year later, he was lucky again. He was transferred to the inner hall because of other people's errands.

At this time, Wei Qi was transferred from Shoukang Palace. The two were of the same age and status. One was lively and smart, and the other was quiet and stable. Naturally, they were often compared.

Wei Qi didn't notice it, because he likes to be quiet, and always just concentrates on doing things, and rarely deals with people on purpose.But Xiao Fangzi was different, because he felt that Eunuch An had some preference, so he always regarded Wei Qi as an opponent, and secretly competed.

Xiao Fangzi gently lifted the brocade quilt on Wei Qi's body, and uncovered the white gauze wrapped around his buttocks. The wound was already healed, so he dipped the ointment into the gauze and gently applied it to the wound.

The ointment was cold, Wei Qi groaned under the ice, and Xiao Fangzi's subordinates kept applying the ointment evenly for him.He stared at Wei Qixue's white and delicate back, and his upturned buttocks were a little distracted for a moment.

Afterwards, this person entered Qianqing Palace by himself, but he was promoted to be an official in front of the imperial court one step ahead. Although now he often eats boards and everyone says he is unlucky, but, but, on the one hand, he is happy that he is not loved by the Holy One and suffers every day, but on the other hand, he is also happy. . . .envy him.

There should be many slaves who are jealous of him. Although he has become like this, he climbed onto the dragon bed after all. The Holy One is a person who is far away, but he, an eunuch, has touched him.And even after all the hardships, the Holy One never really hated him, otherwise this person wouldn't be recuperating in his own room now.

Xiao Fangzi was so engrossed in thinking for a moment that he didn't notice that his hands were rubbing harder, and Wei Qi hissed at the bottom. "Sorry, Brother Wei, I was not careful just now and hurt you."

He said in a hurry.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt me, you can go on."

"Hey, I will definitely pay attention this time." Xiao Fangzi said lightly.

Where is it that she was born so special? How did she get the favor of the Holy One?Xiao Fangzi secretly looked at Wei Qi's black hair, his small red ears hidden in his hair, his slender but not thin back all the way to his round ankles.

It's just a little white, I'm not bad, why didn't the Holy Majesty see me?Xiao Fangzi wondered.

"Xiao Fangzi, it's alright, Xiao Fangzi, it's alright, Xiao Fang?" Wei Qi asked people not to turn his head to look, but he saw Xiao Fangzi staring at his buttocks in a daze. Some obsession.
