Chapter 8 Liang Cairen

Several palace maids and eunuchs were busy in and out of the Yanqu Hall. There were people waiting inside and outside the hall. It was a busy scene.

This place was much more lively than the Jingyang Palace.

"Yanqu Hall?"

Li Xuan thought about it, but he had no impression of this place.

The residence specifications of each person in the palace had a strict hierarchy.

The residences at the first level of the palace should not be for the most honorable people in the harem.

The two eunuchs came straight to the door and walked in quickly after being notified.

Li Xuan walked around and found a tree branch with a good view, lying here to watch the show.

...

"How is the matter going?"

As soon as the two eunuchs knelt down in the hall, a woman with her back to them asked them.

Li Xuan looked at the woman from outside and found that although the dress on her was extraordinary, it was considered "simple" in this palace.

The woman was busy dressing herself up in front of the bronze mirror, and there were two palace maids serving her closely.

"Reporting to the talented, the servants have already done the job."

"We have withheld most of the monthly allowance of Jingyang Palace. They will have a hard time in the days ahead."

The two eunuchs knelt on the ground and answered respectfully, not daring to overstep the line.

"Okay!"

Hearing this, the woman suddenly turned around and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xuan also saw the appearance of this person clearly at this time.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, fair skin, good looks, tall figure.

The head is always slightly raised, which makes it seem unattainable.

There is nothing to criticize about the appearance of this woman, except that the lines of her eyebrows are a little sharp, hiding a willful and arrogant spirit.

"You have done a good job, and I will naturally reward you."

"In this way, you can divide the withheld money and grain by yourselves. After some time, when you see the results, I will ask for rewards for you two in front of the Queen."

After that, the woman waved her hand gently, indicating that the two of them should leave.

Hearing this, the two eunuchs turned their heads slightly and looked at each other, and found that each other's brows were frowning.

But then they said: "It is a blessing for us to share the worries of Liang Cairen, how dare we expect rewards, but..."

"Just what?"

Liang Cairen frowned without hiding her eyebrows, and her sullen expression immediately emerged.

"It's just that we did it privately after all. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew about it, I'm afraid it would also implicate Liang Cairen."

"It's okay for us to be humble. But if it involves the precious body of Cairen, how can we feel at ease? I'm afraid that such a crime will make us sleepless for the rest of our lives."

The two eunuchs spoke sincerely, but there were a few idiots in the palace who would believe this nonsense. It was nothing more than bargaining.

Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping outside, sneered even more. He thought the other party was someone of some origin, but it turned out to be just a pile of loose sand.

But then it was Li Xuan's turn to be shocked and his eyes widened.

"That's true."

Liang Cairen nodded seriously, pinched her chin and began to think seriously.

"Is he acting? He seems to be a scheming person..."

Before Li Xuan continued to guess, Liang Cairen spoke again.

"But you don't have to worry too much. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is so busy that they don't have the energy to care about the cold palace."

"Even if something really happened, who would suspect a talented person like me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not be implicated. Just relax."

The two eunuchs listened and felt that it was not the same thing. They couldn't help but look up at Liang Cairen's expression to see if she was joking with them.

Otherwise, how could a living person say such cold words.

But looking at Liang Cairen's serious expression, the confusion of the two eunuchs suddenly turned into a face of silence.

They looked at each other silently and saw each other's bad mood.

Finally, an expressionless maidservant beside Liang Cairen couldn't stand it anymore and secretly poked her master with her elbow.

Liang Cairen realized it later and changed her tone.

"Of course, I never treat my own people badly."

"Since you are working for me, I will naturally protect you. When I am favored by the emperor, I will naturally treat you as my confidants and take you away from Yanqu Palace."

The Yanqu Palace is inhabited by talents and concubines, which is not a good place.

Talents and concubines belong to the twenty-first wives and eighty-one wives of the emperor. Although they are the emperor's women in name, their status is slightly higher than that of palace maids before they are favored.

Ordinary talents don't have eunuchs and palace maids to serve them. They don't have their own servants at all. They have to do everything by themselves.

If Liang Cairen's family was not prominent, he couldn't order anyone around in Yanqu Palace.

But Liang Cairen's mentality and scheming are really shocking.

Just as the master and servant were in an awkward situation, a palace maid hurried back from outside and whispered something to Liang Cairen's ear.

"Is the Queen admiring flowers in the Imperial Garden?"

"We'll go there right away and take the pearl jade powder I prepared!"

When Liang Cairen heard the report from the palace maid, she was overjoyed. She ignored the two eunuchs kneeling on the ground and rushed out of the palace.

The palace maids hurriedly followed, leaving only the two eunuchs at a loss.

Li Xuan hid on the tree branch, looking at the figure who hurriedly left below, and silently wrote down Liang Cairen's name.

After a while, the two eunuchs also walked out of Yanqu Hall, but their faces were a little ugly.

The two brothers sighed and dragged their steps to the back of the palace.

Li Xuan immediately followed them and soon came to several rows of side rooms.

They hurried into their own rooms, but soon came out again, and one of them was holding a bulging cloth bag in his hand.

"Let's solve this brown rice quickly, and then let today's matter rot in our stomachs. Liang Cairen is really..."

"Ah--"

Speaking of Liang Cairen, the two eunuchs sighed together.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to the yard and shouted at them: "Don't be lazy, the eunuch from the seal room is here for inspection!"

When the two eunuchs heard this, they were immediately in a hurry. After throwing the cloth bag back to the room, they followed the messenger out to work.

Obviously, the eunuch from the seal room made them very scared.

And this gave Li Xuan an opportunity.

They left in a hurry and didn't even have time to close the door tightly, but just left it ajar.

When the yard was quiet, Li Xuan jumped down slowly and then went into their room.

He first entered the room where the cloth bag was thrown, and saw the cloth bag on the ground as soon as he entered.

Li Xuan stepped forward and stepped on it with his claws. It really felt like brown rice.

"So, they asked them to withhold the monthly allowance of Jingyang Palace this month."

After understanding all the causes and consequences, Li Xuan was relieved.

A talented person and two eunuchs who have no backing, this is easy to deal with.

Li Xuan rolled his eyes, and a plan came to his mind.

"Today I will let you taste retribution."

After making a plan, Li Xuan dragged the cloth bag to the door, and then walked around the room.

After a while, he found some silver money with interest.

Although these were small pieces of silver, they were not a small amount when added up.

Li Xuan had been in this palace for a long time, and he was familiar with the places where the palace maids and eunuchs hid their private money.

After all, he had seen it several times with his own eyes.

Although they knew to hide their money from people, they didn't know how to hide it from cats.

Sometimes, when they found Li Xuan peeking, they just waved their hands and said "go away".

In another room, they did the same thing, and Li Xuan found more silver.

He was not polite either, and stuffed all the silver into the cloth bag and packed it all away.

Li Xuan held the cloth bag in his mouth and climbed up the courtyard wall, and turned back to remember the location of the courtyard firmly.

It was not even midday yet, so he had plenty of time to prepare a big surprise for these new friends.
