For a moment, Chu Qi didn't know how to feel. This was the first time in her life that someone despised her for being smelly...

She took a serious bath every night and said that she had a soul bonus and she was not really castrated, so her physique was much better than that of a real eunuch, so taking a cold shower was within her tolerance.

It's just that, hanging out with a bunch of real eunuchs every day...

It’s really hard to smell good!

Chu Qi, who came back to clean the house again, was in a bad mood, and her desire to cheer up suddenly rose.

In the evening, Chu Qi and a group of eunuchs went to collect evening food, but were stopped by the eunuch in charge who had taken a fancy to the original owner in the original plot.

Suddenly, the low-ranking eunuch who was walking nearby and eating a coarse-grain steamed bun cast an envious look at Chu Qi.

Being stopped by the eunuch in charge, could it be anything other than good news?

They also want to be favored by their father-in-law!

Chu Qi's back stiffened, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. She walked up slowly, bent over and said:

"Hello, Eunuch An."

Eunuch An was one of the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Household Department. He was not under any imperial concubine, but his immediate superior was Eunuch Li, a favorite of the emperor. Although he was only one of the eunuchs in charge, he was one of the few eunuchs with real power in the harem.

"Lift your head and let us see."

Eunuch An had a shrill voice, just like any other eunuch, but the arrogance he displayed towards his inferiors in his words was so deep-rooted that it sent a chill down one's spine for no reason.

Chu Qi's stomach was churning. She hadn't eaten much all day and felt uncomfortable. She suppressed the urge to vomit and looked up as she was told.

Eunuch An carefully examined Chu Qi's appearance, as if he was selecting something he liked. After a while, he said, "Not bad, not bad... For your daily meal, you can ask for an extra portion of whole grain steamed buns. This is a reward for you."

Eunuch An took three pieces of braised pork from the eunuch chief steward's special food bowl and put them into Chu Qi's bowl. He wiped his cheeks with white makeup powder and smiled: "Eat more. After a while, I will let you come and live with me. I guarantee you will have a good life."

The braised pork was cooked to a bright red and fragrant taste, with plenty of seasoning, and each piece was cut into even sizes. It was a blessing from heaven for ordinary eunuchs to be able to eat one piece. Chu Qi got three at once, which instantly aroused the jealousy and envy of all the lower-ranking eunuchs.

The power split was particularly serious in the Kingdom of Yan. Ordinary eunuchs could hardly even have a meal, and they only ate coarse grains with pickles, while a small eunuch steward could eat meat every day.

How ironic.

Chu Qi was not as ecstatic as the other eunuchs thought. The feeling of being stared at by Eunuch An was no different from falling into a cesspool. She had no appetite even when looking at the braised pork in the bowl.

However, in front of Eunuch An, she could not show the slightest bit of strangeness, and pretended to be overjoyed and expressed her gratitude.

Eunuch An patted Chu Qi's shoulder with satisfaction: "Okay, go eat."
