Chapter 48 The Royal Family is Getting Smart

"Go down, and don't mention what happened tonight to anyone." The emperor waved his hand, his attention clearly not on An Jiu.

An Jiu put the jewelry box on the table and walked out.

The emperor looked at the small box on the table.

Finally I couldn't help but sigh,

[My face has been completely lost...]

Anjiu, who hadn't walked out yet, "..."

An Jiu yawned. After tossing and turning for most of the night, she was just about to go back to sleep when she saw Li Ji.

Li Ji also saw her and thought of what his colleagues had said to him.

It was true that he had a crush on Xiaojiu, but he also felt sorry for her. When the emperor suddenly killed someone, Xiaojiu ran out of the palace in panic, obviously terrified. Her face was as pale as paper, like a light feather that could fly away at any time...

Li Ji looked at her back, a small and thin girl...

He felt a little reluctant.

The young eunuchs and maids in the palace are still children...

Later, he unconsciously paid attention to Xiaojiu, always wanting to help when he could, as for his own ulterior motives...

It hasn't come to that yet.

"Brother Li, are you free now?" An Jiu's voice brought him back to his thoughts.

Li Ji came back to his senses and nodded: "It's convenient, wait for me."

As he said this, he walked back quickly, took out a package and handed it to An Jiu, who gave him the silver.

"Thank you very much."

Li Ji took the money naturally and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Just tell me what you want to buy next time."

An Jiu took the package and left.

Li Ji looked at her back thoughtfully, while his colleague approached him.

"Don't mention it, she's really good-looking."

Li Ji said nothing.

The colleague then asked, "But isn't she not on duty today? Why did she come out of Guanghua Hall?"

This is indeed strange.

But Li Ji said: "As a servant, I will do whatever my master tells me to do."

The colleague sighed: "You are just stubborn. Who knows, he might want to climb higher."

Li Ji glanced at him and said, "Don't say such things in the future. It's not good for the little girl."

Colleagues curled their lips.

An Jiu walked back happily carrying her things. The door she had left during the day was locked, so she could only go around from another yard. This happened to be seen by Xiao Qiu who had gotten up at night.

Xiaoqiu couldn't sleep because of what happened in the evening. She was worried that the emperor would kill her and vent his anger on her. She was also worried that Aunt Qu would arrange for her to do menial work like Xiaohua.

I felt extremely regretful in my heart, wishing I hadn't said that much.

She thought of the kitchen again.

Is it Xiaojiu who made the pancakes today?

Because she drank water before going to bed, Xiaoqiu went out to the toilet. At this time, she saw a familiar person.

Xiaojiu?

Xiaoqiu hid subconsciously.

It's late at night, and she went out?

What are you going to do?

Did you go to meet someone?

Xiaoqiu thought of what the old nanny who worked there said before, that the emperor was the only man in the palace, and the concubines were okay, as they received some treatment, but the palace maids were miserable.

Some palace maids secretly stayed together with eunuchs.

But eunuchs are not considered men after all.

As a result, the handsome guard became the target of everyone.

Of course, some people just think about it. After all, not everyone can see guards. There are guards only where there is an emperor.

Some guards could not resist the temptation and died under the peony flowers.

The old maid warned them at the time not to think too much and not to seek temporary pleasure and ruin their lives.

When Xiaoqiu saw Anjiu, she thought of the story told by the old lady and what Xiaohua had said before.

Could it be that Xiaojiu really went to have a tryst with the guard?

She narrowed her eyes.

It turns out what Xiaohua said was true.

Xiaoqiu sneered, "Damn bitch, just wait for her."

An Jiu was completely unaware of other people's ill intentions. She returned to her room and opened the package. There were the short boots she bought for herself, as well as cotton shoes, cotton socks, a piece of cotton cloth, and some face wipes. These things would be distributed in winter, but the quantity was limited.

If it gets dirty or broken, there's nothing you can do.

When An Jiu was a child, she had no clothes or shoes to wear, and she often got frostbite in winter. One winter was very cold, and she only had a thin coat, so her grandmother sewed a layer of plastic cloth on the coat. As a result, every time she moved in school, her coat would make a noise, and everyone would look at her.

When he grew up, An Jiu liked to prepare more clothes and shoes for himself, for fear of having no clothes or shoes to wear, and also afraid of going hungry.

As for the piece of cotton cloth, An Jiu planned to make two sets of underwear for himself.

Women in this era all wear bellybands, which are like vests and cannot hold anything. They still swing when they walk, which is inconvenient and embarrassing. Today, she covered the ears of the tyrant, and there was something wrong with this guy. She didn't think anything of it at the time, but thinking about it afterwards, Anji felt that she couldn't let him take advantage of her at all.

It would be better for him not to wake up and stay like this.

Thinking of this, An Jiu couldn't fall asleep, so she took the needle and thread and started sewing clothes.

But the emperor had a rare erotic dream.

The object of the erotic dream is a fool.

Yes, you read it right, it’s the stupid goose.

When the emperor woke up, he thought about his dream but was still puzzled. He had three thousand beauties in his harem, but he dreamed of a fool with average looks, no figure and no advantages.

It's just ridiculous.

The most ridiculous thing in the world.

He must have been too restrained before.

Eunuch Li cleaned up the bed he had soiled with a smile on his face, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wang made the cakes herself, and she is waiting outside the palace now..."

The emperor thought of what the silly goose had said to him yesterday...

This Lady Wang is one of the three people I met yesterday...

Why not meet her and see what she's up to?

The emperor nodded.

Eunuch Li looked relieved.

The emperor has finally grown up and is about to become a real man.

As soon as An Jiu came to work, she saw the person outside the palace. It was the sexy beauty from yesterday. She had a curvy figure, and it was still visible even in the thick palace dress.

The beauty seemed to sense something and turned around to look at An Jiu, who hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

Lady Wang smiled and said, "You are the maidservant beside His Majesty, right?"

"My servant Xiaojiu."

Lady Wang gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid stuffed something into An Jiu's hand, which was icy cold...

An Jiu reacted immediately.

"My lady, I cannot accept it..."

"This is a gift from our queen. Everyone has one. Just accept it." The palace maids beside Concubine Wang said with a smile, as if An Ji looked down on them if he didn't accept it.

Then... An Jiu would have to accept it reluctantly.

She bowed to Lady Wang and was about to leave when Lady Wang suddenly asked, "What are you doing at this hour, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, after the court meeting, you will have breakfast..."

This is something that everyone in the palace knows, and An Jiu can't say anything else.

As a qualified subordinate, you cannot reveal your boss's secrets casually, not at all.

Lady Wang glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions.
