"They are coming." Chu Qi stood in the corner and hid.

Who is coming? Shi Danying couldn't see anything far away in the dark, and was confused, but out of fear of the unknown, he stopped talking and even subconsciously breathed lighter.

They were two palace maids.

The palace maids were all dressed in a uniform pink hue. When they got closer, the moonlight could be seen faintly, and Shi Da Ying could see a little bit of their appearance.

The two maids, each holding a shovel in their hands, hurried past the corner where Chu Qi was hiding. One of the maids yawned and chatted with the maid next to her:

"Empress Duan is favored, so her life is different. She has to go an hour in advance to sweep the snow. I don't know who would take that road so early..."

"I'm so sleepy..." another palace maid replied. The two women slowly walked away. The voices were not very clear and sounded vaguely like mumbling.

For some reason, hiding in the corner and waiting for the palace maid to come over gave her an inexplicable sense of urgency as if she was doing something bad quietly and not getting caught. This excitement made Shi Qian so nervous that she clenched her fingers, but at the same time she also felt a secret excitement.

she……

How could she have such an idea?

When she realized what was happening, her cheeks suddenly felt hot. She quickly threw all the messy thoughts out of her mind and forced herself to straighten her thoughts.

The journey was smooth and they didn't meet any palace maids or eunuchs. They arrived at Xingde Palace, where the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department lived. Chu Qi put Shi Qiang down and let her walk for a while by herself.

The Imperial Household Department was quiet. It was not yet time to get up. Chu Qi led Shi Qian into the west room of the side hall and invited her into his room.

"It's still early, and it's not time to leave the palace yet. If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap first." He pointed to his bed:

"If you don't mind, you can sleep in my bed. I dried the quilt yesterday. You should be very comfortable sleeping on it."

Sleep, sleep in Xiaowuzi's bed? !

Shi Qian’s eyes widened. “Is this a bad thing?” She stuttered in shock again.

But she never mentioned that she wasn't sleepy, for no other reason than that she was really sleepy...

Last night, she was so excited about leaving the palace the next day that she tossed and turned until very late before falling asleep. She had to get up early the next day and had just walked in the dark for two cups of tea. She was now very sleepy and tired.

"Shi Da Ying, do you dislike my bed? Well, I'm just a eunuch..."

Chu Qi's tone was gloomy. There was only one candle lit in the room, placed on the table. She had her back to the candle and the expression on her face made it difficult for Shi Dan to see clearly.

Shi Qian was startled. What she hated most was when Xiao Wuzi belittled her by saying things like "just a eunuch". She had never cared whether the other person was a eunuch or not.

In her opinion, as long as two people love each other, any obstacles are not a problem, so how could she dislike him for being a eunuch?

She felt a little distressed. "No, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to dislike you. It's just that I'm a girl. Isn't it not good to enter your room and sleep in your bed? "

It is "a girl's home" instead of "a promise". The change of wording also indicates that Shi Da Ying's attitude has softened. She really doesn't know how long she can hold on and hold that line.

The bottom line is precarious. Just a little stimulation will cause it to fall infinitely, into the abyss, until there is no recovery.

"Just take a rest. My place is simple and there is no other place for you to rest..."

Chu Qi's tone was tinged with warmth: "I just want you to have a good rest, and I don't think about anything else."

Shi Qian did not refuse, so she agreed: "I know what you mean, I don't think you have other thoughts, please...please take me in to rest."

Her cheeks were flushed, but her attitude was very determined. She had to sleep on this bed today, otherwise she would not be able to get rid of the suspicion of "disdaining Xiao Wuzi" and would hurt Xiao Wuzi's heart for no reason, which was not what she wanted to see.

Chu Qi had her back to the candlelight, her expression unclear. When she turned around and took Shi Qian into the bedroom, the corners of her mouth were raised, showing great pleasure. How could there be a trace of sadness?

Poor Shi Qiang was amused by him so much that she lost her mind and walked into the bedroom in a daze. Under his guidance, she stared with her round almond eyes and slowly lay down on the bed filled with Xiao Wuzi's cool scent.

——Xiao Wuzi's smell was really different from that of ordinary eunuchs. She would occasionally run into other eunuchs when she went out, and when they saluted her, she could smell a strong scent of powder.

And Xiao Wuzi didn't know when it started, but every time he went to see her, he no longer had the eunuchs' exclusive smell of powder, but a faint scent of soap and a hint of indescribable body odor, which often made Shi Qiang feel dizzy.

The quilt is made of the finest silk quilt, which is light, soft and comfortable to cover yourself with, and has a scent of sunshine, as if it had been dried in the hot sun during the day.

The pillows are also very good.

I feel that this configuration is much better than the one in the palace.

Chu Qi looked down at the girl lying on the bed, noticing her long feathery eyelashes trembling constantly, and couldn't help but laugh, and said softly:

"Go to sleep. I'll call you when the time comes."

“…Yeah.” Shi Qian nodded, and under the other person’s gaze, she nervously closed her eyes, her whole body tense.

Chu Qi lowered the curtain.

The curtains were very thick, perfectly blocking out the faint light of the candle.

The vision returned to darkness.

Without having to face the soul-enchanting Xiao Wuzi, Shi Qian was obviously more relaxed. Her eyelashes stopped trembling, her body softened, and she gradually fell asleep.

Chu Qi never had charcoal, so today, in order to welcome Shi Qian, she specially burned a pot of charcoal. The temperature in the room was just right, and Shi Qian slept soundly.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when it was dawn, the eunuch chief, Eunuch An, summoned the eunuchs who were about to leave the palace to give them a lecture.
