The life of the Seventh Prince was hasty, the concubine was gone, and there was no owner and no position, and the people in the palace had no feelings for this little prince who had always been just sick and bedridden, and he was too young to enter the imperial mausoleum, but a monument was erected next to his equally short-lived brothers. Although the coffin was prepared for a long time in advance, the number of rituals was much worse, and at first glance, it was a few unintelligent work, which could make people perceive that the owner of the tomb was not taken seriously.

The great eunuch Gong Zhu knew the pain in the emperor's heart, and arranged to go to the army to inspect in a few days, and also told all the ministries in advance that this trip was just to make the emperor happy, and there was no other intention, but if you still think of any tricks to show, you can also take it out. At present, in addition to being a thorn in the flesh in the eye, the Yanlan family will not care much about the emperor.

As soon as the first seven days of the Seven Princes passed, the emperor's inspection team set off from the palace of the King of Qi.

"Niangniang, don't you need to send someone to keep an eye on the point?"

The queen was in a good mood and took out the female red that she hadn't done for a long time, and Luping stood aside to show the queen the tricks.

"Staring at the point? What is there to keep an eye on, the Xie family is uprooted, and the emperor is also going alone this time, and he is going to the military camp, what else can happen. ”

Luping glanced at Niangniang, and the corners of Niangniang's mouth were still smiling.

"Yes, sissy."

Slowly, the queen put down the embroidery in her hand.

"He's the emperor after all, and he feels uncomfortable and wants to go out for a walk, so let him go."

Luping didn't answer, just stopped her hand movements and looked at the queen with her hands together. The queen didn't say anything more, she lowered her head and stared at the embroidery in her hand, and after a long time, she asked.

"I'm embroidering for whom."

The emperor's palace was built next to the commander, there were no gorgeous specifications, and from the appearance it could only be divided from the size, extremely simple, and there were no luxurious items inside. Having been dispensed with some unnecessary etiquette, the exhausted Emperor finally found an excuse to lie down and rest for a while before dinner.

"Gong Zhu, you go and talk to them, just say that I am just here to relax, tell them not to affect the normal training, just continue to do what they want, I still want to rest more."

The great eunuch Gong Zhu replied while taking off the emperor's shoes.

"Your Majesty, the old slaves have informed all the adults, this is just us just here, the adults have to settle the emperor well, right?"

"Well, that's good. I'm so tired. ”

The Emperor closed his eyes after speaking. The great eunuch gestured, and everyone in the tent withdrew.

The curtain was lowered, and the little eunuch who had been waiting for a long time greeted him.

"Godfather, the person you are looking for is already waiting in your tent."

"Well, are you sure there are no eyes and ears for the Queen?"

"Yes, father-in-law, it's our familiar face."

"Well, that's good."

Although the little eunuch Chang Gui is the adopted son of Gong Zhu, he is still very young and not deep. Such a big thing should not have been handed over to him, but a while ago, the queen did transfer a few of his henchmen to other places, which was also a helpless move.

The big eunuch turned his back and bowed his head to his tent, walked to the tent door and stopped, instructed Chang Gui to look outside, straightened his clothes, and lifted the curtain.

Standing were two women in cloaks, one of whom obviously looked younger, with a delicate face, although it was not a face that people applauded, but it was a little delicate, and at first glance it was a woman who had read in the house of a rich man. Gong Zhu didn't really mind what this woman looked like, his eyes were aimed at the woman's belly. Until this moment, he was still thinking about whether he was doing the right thing or not.

"I've seen the Grand Duke."

In addition, the woman was about thirty or forty years old, and it could be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young. With a flattering smile, at first glance, he is a person who is used to staying in the dust. Every move was seductive, and she bent down to salute the great eunuch

"Boss Jin hasn't seen you for a long time, and business is still booming?"

"Thanks to you, it will be over."

"Hmm."

The great eunuch did not speak again, sat down, and looked at the young woman. The woman who was called Boss Jin waited quietly, quietly glanced at the big eunuch, and did not speak again.

"Can you talk?"

The young woman realized that she was talking to herself, glanced at the father-in-law in front of her, and after only one glance, she hurriedly lowered her head and shook it.

"Ziling, life is hard, after the things at home have passed, the impact is too great, and when I get there, I can't speak, otherwise, I have a good voice when I think about it." Boss Jin said with some regret.

"Well, it's okay if you can't speak, the people who are with me have to be quiet."

The young woman's eyes widened, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, and she looked at Boss Jin beside her. Gong Zhu saw it and frowned.

"What, didn't you teach well?"

Boss Jin sensed the displeasure of the big eunuch. Ignoring Ziling's doubtful, puzzled and angry eyes.

"Grand Duke, you also know that if you want to be such a woman, even if it is me, there are really not many. If it weren't for the fact that I happened to send a few daughters of criminals a few days ago, I really couldn't find you. A gentle woman who has read books and can read and write, and her scheming is not too deep. It would be better if you just asked me to find you a woman from a white family, or a woman without official status. I just told her, your situation, I, I haven't had time yet. ”

The more Boss Jin said, the more he was lacking, and the big eunuch was not so easy to be, and Gong Zhu looked at her with a look.

Gong Zhu knew that his requirements were higher, and the girl in front of him looked good, although he didn't know which adult's girl it was, but it seemed that his requirements were very compliant. It is precisely because of this that he feels that Boss Jin is not doing well in this matter, since he is a suitable girl, then he doesn't want to touch her at all.

He looked at the girl again, looking at himself with tears in her eyes.

"That's it. Boss Jin, what did you tell this girl? ”

"Yes, that's right. I told the girl that I was a concubine for a small family. ”

After Boss Jin finished speaking, he stopped talking. She could see that in fact, the great eunuch was still very satisfied with the candidate he had found for him. If this little thing is not handled well, she will not be punished.

Gong Zhu looked at the person in front of him and thought carefully about how to handle this matter well.

After a while, the great eunuch finally spoke.

"Girl, no matter what this Boss Jin told you before. I'll make it clear to you. I believe that with the wisdom of the girl, she has already understood. You don't want to go to a small family to be a concubine, but to be a maid for me, and I am a eunuch. Although I am a eunuch, I also have a name and a surname, and I also have to leave a queen for the family, so I will ask you to give me a child. ”

Gong Zhu kept looking at the girl named Ziling when he spoke.

Ziling listened, but didn't look at him, but from her trembling side face, she could still feel Ziling's shock and anger at these words.

After Miyatake's words were finished, he got up from his seat.

"I've made it clear what I need to say. I also wanted to do this well this time because of such a leisure opportunity, otherwise in the future, I can't say whether I will have this kung fu or not. Boss Jin, I'll go out first in a while, and you stay here with this girl for half an hour to think about it. After half an hour, if the girl wants to leave, take her away. If the girl wants to stay, you can go by yourself. After Gong Zhu finished speaking, he came out of the tent.

"Godfather." Chang Gui had been waiting outside obediently, and when he saw Gong Zhu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm. Chang Gui, you stay here and go in after half an hour. If two people want to leave, you dispose of both of them. If Boss Jin wants to leave alone, you can take a hundred taels from my cabinet and give her a little bit, and tell her to keep quiet. ”

"Yes, godfather."

After Gong Zhu gave the order, he returned to the emperor's tent and waited. The emperor is shallow, and he doesn't sleep much during the day, so he will definitely call him after a while. Sure enough, after standing for a while, the emperor's voice was louder.

"Miyatake. Miyatake. ”

"Yes, the minions are here."

Gong Zhu hurriedly lifted the curtain and went in. Kneeling on the ground to put shoes on the emperor.

"Are you ready for dinner?"

"Yes, the emperor, the old slave knows that you are tired today, you must be hungry early, just now the old slave went to the room to see, dinner is almost ready. But the minions didn't tell them to do more, in case they ate too much, they would be uncomfortable. ”

The emperor smiled: "You old thing, you have a lot of ghosts. Hehehehehe. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that a little clever minion still something you usually hear about."

"You, you, you, will make me happy."

Half an hour later, the great eunuch asked someone to bring snacks into the emperor's tent. Not far away in his own tent, Boss Jin accepted the one hundred taels of silver given by Chang Gui with a smile and followed with joy. Miss Ziling gently took off her cloak and sat down by the window, tears slowly flowing down her stubborn face.

At night, after waiting for the emperor to sleep, Gong Zhu withdrew from the emperor's tent. After instructing Chang Gui a few words as usual, he hurriedly returned to his tent. Although he had confirmed with Chang Gui that he had sent Boss Jin away, he was still a little worried at the thought of letting that Ziling girl stay in the tent by herself. Along the way, Gong Zhu kept reviewing and confirming his plan, and he must not have anything wrong.

Gong Zhu walked to his tent and coughed before lifting the curtain and entering. When I went in, I saw Ziling standing next to the bed. Gong Zhu glanced at her and slowly walked into the tent.

Gong Zhu slowly pushed off the coat he wore at night, and Ziling played a drum in his heart whether to go up and serve him to undress. After hesitating for a long time, she still walked in to Gong Zhu and stretched out her hand, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Gong Zhu shouted to stop.

"Girl."

Hearing Gong Zhu's voice, Ziling trembled with fright and quickly retracted her hand.

"Girl, you didn't do any of this work. Today's work is a little busy, I told my godson to be busy, he will serve me, you don't have to be busy. ”

When Ziling heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad again, thinking that she was originally a woman from a big family, who had read and could read, but now she was going to serve a eunuch in the palace, not to do those jobs like a maid, but to have a child with a man who didn't know which one. It's been a few days since my mother died, and I don't even know where my mother's bones are buried. Compared with what happened to her sister and sister-in-law, she is still lucky, and I don't know if she deliberately showed her the way she was to make a show. The sister was stripped naked and auctioned off to a fat-headed, big-eared businessman, and the sister-in-law was even more ...... She didn't dare to think about what she would be tortured if she followed Boss Jin back today.

The change in Ziling's expression, Gong Zhu saw it in his eyes. Gong Zhu was still a little worried. He took off his coat by himself, walked to the table far away from Ziling, and sat down.

"Girl, you sit first." Ziling slowly sat down on her side.

"Girl, I don't care what your name was, who your young lady was, or what you went through or how you came to me, I don't know, and I don't want to know. When the girl came to me, you have forgotten all the past. All men, accept their fate. From then on, you died, and after that, there was no Ziling. ”

This is also what Ziling thinks in her heart. When my mother died, she said that as long as she lived, it would be fine. But when she came to such a field, she didn't want to have any nostalgia for her previous life. The great eunuch is right, it's all fate.

Ziling nodded solemnly.

Gong Zhu saw Ziling's solemn expression, and he was also a little relieved.

"From now on, you will be called Xiao Qi. Others, I will ask others to call you seven girls. ”

Since then, there are no more Ziling girls, only seven girls.

"Seventh girl, I think you should also know that since things have come to this point, then you just have to be obedient, understand?"

The seventh girl nodded meekly again. Of course, you have to be obedient, it's not that you haven't struggled, it's just that this is the best result.

"That's good, Xiao Qi, you can only be a maid who can't read and write in the future, since you can't speak, it will save you some trouble. I'm not going to let too many people know about your saliva, yourself, and pay more attention, you know? ”

The seventh girl nodded. She's naturally willing.

"It's getting late, you can rest first, I still have something to do."

After speaking, Gong Zhu left the tent, leaving Ziling, no, it was the seventh girl. Quietly looking at the candle flame on the table, I didn't dare to think about anything in my mind until dawn.
