The little palace maid's eyes were filled with tears. She was so scared that her whole body was shaking, but she didn't dare to resist at all. She just bit her lip and ran away. Those who were around to join in the fun also dispersed immediately.
In just a short moment, only Nanny Xiang and Yu Zhuxi were left outside the door.
Seeing that Madam Xiang was slightly lost in thought, Zhuxi was puzzled. "Madam, it seems like you are very protective of Concubine Zhen?"
It was not a big deal for the palace maids to discuss their masters' affairs, especially matters related to sex. Many people did so in private. Although Nanny Xiang was strict, she would hear them from time to time.
At most, they would just slap the hands a few times as punishment, and it has never been as ostentatious as it is today.
But in response to Zhuxi's question, Nanny Xiang just shook her head slightly and said, "You will be on guard today and be sure to serve carefully."
"She..." He paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. "She's already in such a state since her first time. You, keep an eye on her."
Zhuxi was a little dazed. She just had a vague feeling that Nanny Xiang was somewhat protective of Concubine Zhen, who had just entered the palace. She didn't expect that she had guessed right.
After coming to his senses, he nodded in agreement without asking any more questions.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. No matter how powerful the emperor is, unless there is a special situation, he generally will not pay attention to these insignificant minions.
Zhuxi knew very well who was working for him.
So when Lin Chunhuan was sent to Changchun Palace, he was a little puzzled when he saw the medicine in Chunyu's hand.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Just as Lin Chunhuan had told the emperor before, few doctors were willing to treat the illnesses in brothels. Even though Hongxiulou was a place where people sold art but not bodies, those doctors still thought they were dirty.
But when he went to the building to have fun, he didn't mind it anymore, and acted in a two-faced manner, which made people laugh.
However, because of this reason, Lin Chunhuan had more or less taught herself some medical knowledge. Whenever a sister in the building had a headache or fever, as long as it was not too serious, she would go and see her, and there would be no need to call a doctor.
You save money and also avoid being looked down upon.
Just by opening the bottle and asking, she had already roughly guessed the effect of the medicine. Looking at Chunyu's flushed face, she already understood.
"It's...it's from Nanny Xiang's apprentice, sent by Aunt Zhuxi." Chunyu was young after all, so this kind of thing inevitably made her blush. When she spoke again, her head almost buried in the ground. "Madam, let me help you apply the medicine."
Lin Chunhuan blinked.
Whether it was Zhuxi or Nanny Xiang, both names were unfamiliar to her.
Wasn't the person that Zhuang Mama had asked her to find before entering the palace a eunuch? Why did a nanny suddenly appear?
Not understanding the other party's intention, she had no intention of using the bottle of medicine.
Fortunately, although the emperor had tortured her severely, there was something in the brocade bag that could strengthen the body. She had used it before she received the emperor's favor yesterday, and now she felt no discomfort.
If we talk about discomfort, the emperor, whose body has been hollowed out, is probably in much more pain than her.
"No need." Lin Chunhuan chuckled, "I can do it myself in a while. You are just a little girl, how can you understand these things?"
Although she had no reluctance in her heart, Chunyu still secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. However, Lin Chunhuan then asked, "Where does this Xiang Ma come from?"
"What do you do?"
Compared to the matter of applying medicine, the topic of Nanny Xiang obviously made Chunyu feel more relaxed. "Nanny Xiang used to serve the Empress Dowager. Although she was not a close servant, she worked diligently and was considered honorable."
"Later, when the Empress Dowager passed away, one of her closest relatives passed away, while the other was given a golden house by the Emperor and returned to her hometown. Nanny Xiang was also originally going to leave the palace, but for some reason she stayed. After all, she had served the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor respected her."
"So I handed over the teaching and discipline of the palace girls to Nanny Xiang. Over the years, I haven't made any mistakes."
Lin Chunhuan listened quietly and nodded slightly. "So, for example, you and Zhizi are actually under the care of Nanny Guixiang?"
"Theoretically, this is correct, but since it is the master's will, it is naturally under the jurisdiction of the masters of each palace. No matter what Madam Xiang does, she cannot get past you, Your Majesty."
Chunyu smiled lightly and registered the rewards sent by the emperor into different categories.
According to the rules, concubines who serve the emperor in bed cannot stay overnight in the Weiyang Palace and will be sent back to their own residences after receiving the emperor's orders. However, her master is an exception.
Not only was he personally sent back by the emperor's chief steward before the morning court today, but he also brought back countless rewards. This kind of honor is unprecedented in the entire palace!
By now, I'm afraid everyone in the harem knows about it, and they are so envious that their eyes are red!
He sounds like a very special person. Lin Chunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
But at least the other party hadn't shown any malicious intent yet, so she didn't take it too seriously. She just mentioned the matter and asked casually, "You've been in the palace for a long time. Have you ever heard of a eunuch named Zhang Jingshun?"
"What?" Chunyu looked up in confusion. After a long pause, she asked uncertainly, "Who are you talking about, Madam?"
Lin Chunhuan wondered how Chunyu would react when she asked about Zhang Jingshun.
Either they have never heard of it and don't know it at all, or they know it and just say it casually. The worst case scenario is that they know it, but the person is no longer around, and they say it with fear or panic.
But no matter what the situation is, it shouldn't be like this now, with a feeling of confusion and surprise.
Lin Chunhuan frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and subconsciously felt a little nervous, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not!" Chunyu shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly, her expression a little hesitant. "Madam, are you sure you are looking for Eunuch Zhang Jingshun?"
"yes."
After getting the exact answer, Chun Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, how could you be so confused? You were just brought back by Chief Steward Zhang this morning, and you're asking about me now."
Now the person who was stunned became Lin Chunhuan.
She opened her mouth and it took her a long while to find her voice. "You mean, the eunuch who serves the emperor personally is Zhang Jingshun?!"
Seeing Chunyu nod, Lin Chunhuan's breathing became a little rapid, and it took him a long time to control himself and conceal the strange expression.
Fortunately, she has never liked crowds of people, and there was no one else in the room except Chunyu, otherwise someone would have noticed something.
No wonder!
No wonder Mrs. Zhuang asked her to go find Zhang Jingshun when she couldn't hold on any longer. She didn't understand at first that she, as the master, was at her wit's end.
What's the point of looking for a eunuch? I was also wondering what was so special about this eunuch that could make Mother Zhuang remember her past so clearly after being cut off from it for so many years.
If it were someone else, it would definitely be useless.
But this singer Zhang Jingshun was actually the emperor's personal eunuch and the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department!
