"It's good to be clean." Eunuch An nodded, "You should know that there is no free benefit in the world."
Chu Qi nodded: "I understand."
"That's good to understand. After you take a bath today, you can come and serve us. If you serve well, we will support you to work with us in a few days. If you are lucky enough to be favored by a noble, it will be better to work in the noble palace than to stay in the Silijian to sweep the floor. Do you understand?"
Eunuch An slowly stroked the armrests of the bamboo chair with his fingers, and looked at Chu Qi with eyes that seemed to wish he could swallow him right now.
"I understand." Chu Qi nodded again.

In the evening, Eunuch An took a rare bath with hot water and waited for Chu Qi at the eunuch chief's residence.
Although the residence of the chief eunuch was not as luxurious as that of Eunuch Li, the emperor's favorite, it was also a rare and luxurious room. It had a main hall and side halls, and even a bathing pool.
There were big, real beds and silk quilts. When winter came, the palace would even have charcoal fires for heating.
When Chu Qi took a bath and returned to her residence, the eunuchs who lived with her had already come to their senses and knew what Eunuch An was thinking. They congratulated Chu Qi with envy.
"Fifth brother, congratulations. You are favored by Eunuch An. You will surely enjoy a good life in the future. Please take good care of us when the time comes..."
Each eunuch in the dormitory was not given a proper name. They were all called by numbers from 1 to 10. Of course, if someone was willing to say what his or her name was before entering the palace, they could also use that to address each other.
Chu Qi did not use the original name "Chu Goudan", but made up a pseudonym "Chu Wu". Recently, she has received special care from Eunuch An, and the eunuchs living with her spontaneously called him "Fifth Brother" to please him.
"Of course. When I eat meat, I will never forget to give you bones." Chu Qi put the clothes away and said with a smile.
"Ah?" They were confused.
"It's just a little joke. If I have the chance to help you, I will definitely try my best to help you."
Chu Qi made some casual promises, and the other four eunuchs were overjoyed. They all said that they would follow her closely in the future.
The residence of the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department was only three palace gates away from the emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation. On weekdays, he would help those in power in the harem to deal with some chores. It was the highest position a eunuch could climb to, except for serving the emperor.
When Chu Qi arrived at the steward's residence, there was a young eunuch who followed Eunuch An outside to help keep watch.
Chu Qi entered the side hall room, and Eunuch An called her over impatiently: "Xiao Wuzi, come here and take off your clothes--"
Before she finished her words, Chu Qi's eyes met Eunuch An's eyes which were filled with turbid desire.
This is the lowest level of hypnosis technique, direct eye contact, and it is also the most convenient technique. According to the system introduction, as long as the target is an ordinary person, the one-time success rate is 100%.
