In the sixth year of Yongtai, it was April at this time, and the old elm trees in the courtyard of the Siyuan Bureau were full of elm coins.A few days ago, a greedy little eunuch wanted to eat elm rice with elm money, so he climbed up the tree and plucked several elm branches.

Yao Xi, who had taken a day off, sat alone on the bamboo chair under the elm tree, looking sadly at the clear sky just after the spring rain through the gap.

Today is her birthday.

Counting Yao Xi's four birthdays in detail, one is at the end of the 20th century AD, one is the day when the original owner Sun Xibao was born, one is the day when she crossed over to become Sun Xibao, and the other is the birthday of the little eunuch named Yao who she replaced.

Ordinarily, if someone entered the palace instead of someone else, it should be the birthday of the little eunuch Yao, but in Yao Xi's heart, she always regarded April 1998, 28 as her only birthday.But it doesn't matter anymore, the eunuchs who serve in front of the master can get some rewards on birthdays and festivals, even if they are poor and don't show their faces in front of the master, there will be a red envelope from a godfather or something.

Yao Xi has no godfather.It's strange to say that every year a group of newcomers will be admitted to the palace, and those who are good-looking and talkative will be recognized by the stewards of the yamen, and those with mediocre qualifications will be accepted by young supervisors and supervisors, even if they have all kinds of problems. There are old eunuchs who have no one under their knees.

Only she was a poor child who was ignored.In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to anyone, and she has a sweet mouth. She speaks nonsense when she sees people and speaks nonsense when she sees people. She has practiced perfectly since entering the palace.However, no one wants it, no one wants it.

Without a backer in the palace, people would be bullied. Fortunately, although Yao Xi didn't have a powerful godfather, he recognized a brother.Her brother Zheng Dayun was one of the godsons of Eunuch Tang, the head of the court's supervisor of ceremonies. Unfortunately, Zheng Dayun was sent by Eunuch Tang to work in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau shortly after he married her and has yet to return.

Since entering the palace for more than a year, her life in the Siyuan Bureau has been quite comfortable. She can live alone in a room. I don't know whether it is due to Zheng Dayun or the sixth father-in-law who bought her into the palace.

Thinking of the sixth father-in-law, Yao Xi felt that everything about his entry into the palace was weird.

When the eunuchs are gaining power, even if they don’t have a good face when they enter the palace, it’s okay to have enough food. If they do well, they may become rich and rich, and the eunuch’s family members can be exempted from corvee and tax. After eating this bowl of rice, he cut his own eggs, but in the end, the gain was not worth the loss because there was no way to enter the palace.

Why did she enter the palace not only did she not spend any money to establish a relationship, but instead got 200 taels?Who was the little eunuch surnamed Yao that she replaced?What is the purpose of the sixth eunuch bringing her into the palace?

There were many things Yao Xi couldn't figure out, and he felt that the truth of the matter was not simple, so he didn't dare to investigate, let alone ask someone.If the matter of being a woman is involved, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.Thinking of this, Yao Xi couldn't help but lower his head to look at his gradually swollen chest. Even though it was covered with cloth, he could still vaguely see the undulating curve. The 17-year-old girl's body is almost fully developed, and she will have to wrap her up tighter tomorrow to be on the safe side.

Yao Xi sat there thinking wildly, when the little eunuch's booing came from outside the courtyard gate.As soon as she heard the obscene booing, she knew that there must be a good-looking palace lady sister coming.

"This bunch of good-for-nothings." Yao Xi said so, and he straightened his neck and looked at the gate of the courtyard.

The location of the Siyuan Bureau is remote, and the errands for the ladies in the palaces are not available to their subordinates, so Yao Xi does not have many chances to see the palace maids, and all the eunuchs come and go around him.Most of the eunuchs are yellow and thin, and there is nothing to see.What's more, because he has no root and can't vent his anger, and he has no place to vent his useless anger from his master and boss. After a long time, his personality has become a bit... how should I put it... perverted?

Or the maids are seductive.The beautiful ladies in the palace are not limited to the ladies and gentlemen of the palaces. Every palace lady is chosen by the people. The palace chooses people only by their faces. Unlike beauty pageants or other shady scenes, those who can stay in the palace are all beautiful. Not bad.It was rare for a beautiful woman to come to the Siyuan Bureau, and Yao Xi wanted to take this opportunity to wash his eyes.

Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Hanqiu from Xu Meiren's Palace who came.

"Aunt Han Qiu." Seeing Han Qiu approaching, Yao Xi hurriedly got up and gave up the chair. "Are you here to help Xu Meiren get things?"

Han Qiu smiled at Yao Xi and shook his head lightly.Among the eunuchs in the Si Yuan Bureau, only Yao Xi was more likable, with a handsome appearance, clean eyes, and measured speech.Moreover, the Siyuan Bureau is responsible for purchasing, and going out of the palace is a common thing. Han Qiu will occasionally ask Yao Xi to help buy some small things.After this back and forth, she was willing to help Yao Xi if she could help Yao Xi.

"I'll come over and deliver you a letter." Looking back, Han Qiu saw the group of little eunuchs at the door still huddled together staring at her, so she leaned closer to Yao Xi's ear and whispered, "Something happened to Yu Gui next to Meiren Xu. You go to the Internal Officials Prison to find someone to clear it up, and see if you can be transferred to the beauty's side to serve. Although our beauties are not high-ranking, we are generous to those who serve us, don't you always want to save money to open a shop?"

Han Qiu also has selfish motives in helping Yao Xi.Yu Gui, the eunuch who used to work with her, had dirty eyes and a dirty heart. She had spoken rudely to her several times, and wanted to confront her with shamelessness.She was afraid that the Internal Supervisor would send someone over again, and it was Yu Gui's kind of virtue, so it didn't have to be disgusting.

Yao Xi didn't want to find a fat job and save some money.She didn't plan to be a eunuch for the rest of her life. The longer she stayed in the palace, the greater the risk of being found out as a girl's family. Of course, the sooner she got out, the better.But working as a handyman in the Siyuan Bureau until she died, she couldn't save a few taels of silver. She didn't have enough money to gain a foothold outside, so she could only stay in the palace for food, drink and shelter.

It takes money to find someone to clear up, and it is indispensable. Her entire net worth is only a few hundred pennies now. Who can fancy her with a few hundred pennies? "It's hard for Aunt Hanqiu to miss Yao Xi, but I'm okay and I have no money..."

Han Qiu took out two big paper bags from his sleeve and handed them to Yao Xi, saying, "My aunt knows that you haven't saved any money. The smaller one is the tea leaves I got when I was serving by the concubine Li's side. Chen Cha Xiangnong also gave it to me." You can do it. The big bag is made by myself. You can take something to find the person in charge of this matter. Just be a little sweeter. Those who can talk to the inner prison are not bad for your money."

Opportunities are hard to come by, Yao Xi did not pretend to be hypocritical, thanked Han Qiu gratefully, took the two packages of things, and sent Han Qiu out on the way.The young eunuchs watching at the gate saw the two of them whispering with each other's heads together for a long time. Before Han Qiu left, he even gave Yao Xi two packages of things. The young eunuchs felt that there must be something wrong between the two of them, so they booed again.

Yao Xi ignored everyone, sent Han Qiu out and took his things to the internal prison.Yao Xi went into the internal officer's prison to question, and heard that Eunuch Ye, who was in charge of the transfer, had just sent a new envoy to Concubine Kang's palace, and he hadn't returned yet.Afraid of being caught first, Yao Xi went into the palace again, and stood in the cherry blossom forest outside the gate of Concubine Kang's palace, waiting for Eunuch Ye to come out.

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, pink and pink, and the wind blew gently, falling petals all over Yao Xi.Yao Xi sat down on a rock, took off his black male hat, and shook off the cherry blossom petals on top of the hat.She lowered her head and concentrated on cleaning the petals, but she didn't notice that there was a figure behind her.

Zheng Dayun had just sent the account books of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to the emperor, and personally delivered the new cloth and Jiangnan specialties to the empresses of the palaces. As soon as he came out of the Concubine Kang's palace, he saw a pretty and delicate figure in the cherry blossom forest looming.That man was dressed in the eunuch's clothes, but he had a figure that was more attractive than a girl, and there would be no one else except his little heart, Yao Xi.

On the first day Yao Xi entered the palace, Zheng Dayun heard that a eunuch came to the Siyuan Bureau, and he was very good-looking.But as long as it suits your heart, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, even if it's a eunuch.Unexpectedly, Yao Xi was also a straightforward person. Zheng Dayun knew that Yao Xi had just entered the palace, so he thoughtfully gave her some creative medicine, and proposed to form a bond with brothers, and Yao Xi agreed on the spot.

This daring to love, dare to hate, and unpretentious behavior style made Zheng Dayun even more fascinated by Yao Xi.

Originally, you love me and I made a relationship again, so something should happen that night.But Zheng Dayun thought that Yao Xi had just entered the palace and his wound hadn't healed yet, so he let go of the co-sleeping in advance, and it didn't take long for his godfather to send him to Zhejiang.I haven't seen Yao Xi for more than a year. Although Zheng Dayun is a lustful person, he is dedicated and not long-lasting. The new interest in people passes quickly, but he only likes one person in a period of time.

He thought in his heart that he and Yao Xi had become brothers, and of course he hadn't had any freshness before, since he had someone in his heart, he couldn't mess with others.After more than a year in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the officials who wanted to curry favor with him gave him all kinds of beauties to enjoy, but Zheng Dayun refrained from doing anything.

Yao Xi didn't know that Zheng Dayun's so-called bonded brothers didn't mean begging for help, he simply thought that he had an extra brother-in-law, and he didn't know that Zheng Dayun had made such a big "sacrifice" for her, and hadn't had sex for more than a year.

Zheng Dayun originally wanted to go to the Siyuan Bureau to find Yao Xi to relax after returning to Beijing after he was busy, but he did not expect to meet him here.

Yao Xi has been raised in the palace for more than a year, and she is not as thin as when she first entered the palace. Zheng Dayun scanned Yao Xi's body, imagining the feel of every part of her body.What should I do if I have quit meat for too long and my skills are not good enough?

Yao Xi didn't know that Zheng Dayun was taking advantage of her in his mind, so he got up happily and said hello: "Brother Zheng? Are you done with the weaving bureau?"

Zheng Dayun put away those messy thoughts, and was a little proud of being asked about business affairs. "I have found a way to improve the weaving speed of the loom, and the production of the weaving bureau will at least double from this year."

Yao Xi applauded in sea dog style, with a look of admiration on his face.

"What is your errand in the palace?" Zheng Dayun didn't want Yao Xi to stay in the Siyuan Bureau. The errands there were heavy. The fruits and vegetables he bought had to be brought into the palace in boxes, and they had to be sorted by grade. Those who are bruised cannot be sent to the master.

After Yao Xi entered the palace, Zheng Dayun was the only one who showed kindness to her, and with Zheng Dayun's background, she didn't need to ask her anything at all, but I heard from other eunuchs that Zheng Dayun was a bit flirtatious, but Yao Xi didn't care much, at least Zheng Dayun didn't care about her. That kind of mind.As for human affairs, as long as you love me and I am willing not to harm others, it is not a problem in Yao Xi's opinion.

She didn't need to hide from Zheng Dayun that she wanted to change jobs. Firstly, the two had a good relationship, and secondly, Zheng Dayun might be able to help. "I heard that there is a vacancy in the palace, and I want to wait here for Eunuch Ye, who is in charge of the internal affairs, to recommend himself."

"You are very well informed." Zheng Dayun stretched out his fingers and gently tapped Yao Xi's forehead. "You knew as soon as the eunuch on duty in the Empress Dowager's Palace was assassinated, but it was hard work... Do you really want to go and let me talk to the eunuch for you?" It is the place with the highest probability of death in the entire palace.Zheng Dayun was reluctant to let Yao Xi go, but he casually said that he wanted to take this opportunity to transfer Yao Xi to his side, so that he could take Yao Xi with him when he went on business trips.

Of course Yao Xi knew how dangerous Ning'an Palace is, she was afraid that Zheng Dayun would really send her to the Empress Dowager's Palace, so she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Don't, don't. I'd rather kill myself than go to the Empress Dowager's Palace... ..."

Yao Xi also wanted to say, seeing Zheng Dayun's complexion suddenly changed, she remembered that some people are allergic to pollen, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly lose your color when you're fine?"

Zheng Dayun saw that Yao Xi was unresponsive, and he couldn't care about her for a while. Between life and love, Zheng Dayun resolutely chose life.

"Slave Zheng Dayun has seen the Empress Dowager."
