Less than half an hour later, in front of the Regent's Palace.
Jiang Zhili hid behind a big tree and observed the situation in the palace.
There were guards standing at the gate of the palace. She took a few glances at them and then started walking around outside the palace. After a while, she reached the back door of the palace.
It was already noon.
The back door of the palace opened and a cart was pulled out.
The servant pulling the cart sighed, "Tsk tsk, the Regent Prince has executed another batch of servants. It's really hard to be a servant in the palace. The number of servants in our palace is getting smaller and smaller.
The prince has a reputation for being bloodthirsty and fierce, so few dare to come and work for him. I'm really afraid that one day our palace will be without servants."
"Are you being disingenuous when you say this? Although the prince has a bad reputation, he only killed guilty people. These people deserved their deaths. They were either spies or spies sent by the court. It's a pity that you have been working by the prince's side for so long," Qingsong scolded.
The servant shrank his head and dared not speak.
Qingsong continued, "After we've dealt with these corpses, we'll put out a job posting. We should be hiring some servants for the palace."
"I understand, I understand," the servant nodded repeatedly.
Only after the cart had gone far away did Jiang Zhili come out from the shadows.
She found a place where the sun wasn't too strong and continued to wait until the afternoon when the servant posted a job opening notice. She then stepped forward and said she wanted to do odd jobs.
The jobs in Yun Country are relatively flexible, and many wealthy families will openly recruit servants. Even the lowest-ranking jobs like menial work can be done as long as one has a good appearance and healthy limbs.
For servants who are above the middle level, they need to find connections. After all, those servants have the opportunity to get close to their masters. As long as they get close to their masters, they may be able to become successful one day.
The recruiter was stunned when he saw Jiang Zhili.
"You? You said you wanted to do chores?"
It's really inappropriate for someone so outstanding in appearance to just do a menial job.
In ancient times, just like in modern times, appearance was extremely important. When you meet a good-looking person, you will subconsciously let down your guard.
Jiang Zhili nodded. "I'm not from the capital. After my parents left, I came here alone. I've always admired the Regent, and when I saw they were hiring, I thought I'd give it a try."
The recruiter looked at Jiang Zhili and nodded: "Okay, then come in with me!"
Although their regent has a bad temper, he is also highly respected because he has made great military achievements and holds power.
When you meet someone you admire and even want to get close to, you naturally can't let them go...
Jiang Zhili was taken directly to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper looked at Jiang Zhili's appearance and immediately kept him.
The prince has a bad temper, and he might feel better if he sees someone pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Zhili was kept because of his outstanding appearance.
She was also one step closer to Bo Yan.
Although the housekeeper kept Jiang Zhili, he also secretly sent people to investigate Jiang Zhili's identity.
It was very easy to enter the Prince Regent's Palace. To stay safely, one only needed a clean family background. Those who couldn't stay would have no choice but to leave the palace...
Jiang Zhili was assigned to a servant named Qingci by the housekeeper, who helped her familiarize herself with the work in the mansion.
He said he was familiarizing her with the work, but in fact he just took her to get familiar with the servants' quarters and told her some rules and forbidden areas in the mansion.
Qingci took Jiang Zhili and walked in the Regent's Palace.
As he walked along, Jiang Zhili felt that the mansion was extremely boring. There were only trees, no flowers or plants, and everything was black, cold and hard, with a very gloomy color tone.
There were few items in the palace, and many places were empty.
It was clearly summer, but Jiang Zhili felt a little eerie. Thinking back to the corpse in the house yesterday and the scene where Bo Yan raised his sword and wanted to stab her to death, she couldn't help but raise her hands and rub her arms.
"We can't go to that yard," Qingci took Jiang Zhili to stop at the gate of a yard. He pointed inside the yard and warned.
Jiang Zhili looked at the yard and saw two guards guarding the door.
She understood in her heart that this must be the yard where the woman lived that Duoduo mentioned.
Jiang Zhili looked a little curious: "Qingci, is there anything in it?"
Qingci waved his hand and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing, there are just some women living here. Our prince doesn't like women, so the women sent by others and His Majesty all live in it.
That is a restricted area for us servants. Enter at your own risk."
Jiang Zhili nodded to show that he understood.
At this time, a woman's voice was heard in the courtyard guarded by the guards, and at the same time, a figure in pure white clothes appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
She was a woman with slightly yellow skin and barely pretty features.
{Host, that should be Chen Yuanyuan!} Duoduo suddenly spoke.
Jiang Zhili's expression froze. When she wanted to take a closer look, Qingci grabbed her and pulled her away.
"Don't ask anything, don't say anything," Qingci warned Jiang Zhili.
There were some curious servants who liked to inquire about the women in the yard. As a result, something went wrong and the natural end was a roll of straw mat.
Jiang Zhili just shut up. It would be better for her to behave well when she first entered the mansion.
Afterwards, Qingci took her for a walk and then led her to the servants' room.
The rooms for low-ranking servants in the palace all had large bunk beds, and one room could accommodate twenty people.
Qingci stood at the door. He looked at the full beds in the room and spoke with surprise.
"Huh? It's full. Maybe someone else moved in."
There weren't many servants in the palace, and there were several empty servant rooms, so there was no need to worry about having no place to live.
