Everyone in my harem is talented

"Zhang Deli, let's go back to the palace." Qin Zhi walked out of Ci'an Palace slowly.

"Get off and drive back to the palace!"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best of health."

Qin Zhi ignored the palace maids who were performing the ceremony. As soon as he stepped into Zhaozheng Hall, he untied the straps of his cloak around his neck.

A strange palace maid came up to Qin Zhi without saying hello and wanted to help him untie the belt.

Qin Zhi took a step back and looked at her deeply.

She had no choice but to kneel back down.

Qin Zhi took off his cloak, and Zhang Deli quickly took it.

"Everyone, stand up." Qin Zhi called out to all the palace people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Who are you? I'm sure I haven't seen you in Zhaozheng Palace before." Qin Zhi looked at the palace maid who was kneeling to salute but still stole a glance at him as he untied his cloak and walked straight forward with a scrutinizing look.

No palace maid would look directly at the king. The most important thing is:

If there is a new person coming to serve in Zhaozheng Palace, he will never appear so abruptly, but will be brought to Qin Zhi first, so that he can decide whether to stay or leave after seeing him.

"My name is Yan Shu'er. I was originally a maid who served flowers in the imperial garden. A maid in Zhaozheng Palace fell ill, and Eunuch Li, who was under Eunuch Zhang, saw that I was smart and asked me to take her place temporarily."

"I am guilty." The moment Zhang Deli heard this, he knelt on the ground with a look of fear on his face.

Qin Zhi ignored Zhang Deli who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "When did you come to Zhaozheng Hall?"

"I just got here this morning." After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Qin Zhi with a beautiful face that seemed like a goddess from Gushe. Tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes, ready to burst out.

She lowered her head again, and tears fell to the ground in beads.

So beautiful, her temperament is exactly the same as his stepmother who was taken away by his father before his death.

Qin Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Yan Shu'er was kneeling on the ground, her hair was like clouds, her skin was like cream, and her figure was graceful and elegant. I felt pity for her just by looking at her.

"I am terrified." Hearing Zhang Deli's apology, Yan Shu'er choked up, as if she was frightened and looked confused.

Qin Zhi looked at Zhang Deli: "You don't know?"

My bedroom suddenly became leaky like a sieve?

"I only know that Liu, the palace maid in Zhaozheng Palace, took sick leave and has not been on duty for three days. I didn't know that Little Li was so bold. He didn't report to Your Majesty or tell me, but he arranged other people into Zhaozheng Palace without authorization. I have failed Your Majesty's trust and I am guilty." Zhang Deli knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Zhang Deli was so angry that he wanted to rush out and hang Little Li up and beat him to death.

"After we have interrogated Little Li and the two palace maids, you can go down and accept the punishment." This matter could be a big deal or a small one. Qin Zhi did not say what the punishment would be, but just told Zhang Deli to accept the punishment himself.

When Zhang Deli saw the beautiful face of the palace maid named Yan Shuer, he thought that Little Li must have some intention of getting rid of him and becoming the emperor's pimp, just to get away from him and gain face in front of the emperor.

It's not that I think Leo was bribed and a spy was sent in. As for assassination, that's even more impossible.

This dynasty is not like the previous dynasty, where criminals would be sent to the palace to serve as palace maids. Those who can be selected to serve as palace maids or female officials are all from families with clean backgrounds.

Palace maids entered the palace at a young age, and even the letters passed in and out had to be carefully checked.

What's more, Qin Zhi has been cleaning up the harem in the three years since he ascended the throne. Except for those nails that are buried deep and need to wait for them to take action to pull them out, Qin Zhi's eyes are everywhere in the palace.

Now, regardless of whether the palace maid named Yan Shuer can get the face, Little Leo, who arranged the person in Zhaozheng Hall on his own initiative, will be confused.

It also caused Zhang Deli to suffer.

Zhang Deli was very upset.

"Tell someone to bring Little Li and the maid who asked for leave due to illness."

"I will not try him personally. Let the eunuch bring someone to try him."

"Zhang Deli, go outside and listen. When the trial is over, go and receive your punishment."

"Go out in the snow and clear your head."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Deli lowered his head, looking wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

Qin Zhi sat and read through the memorials. After he finished reviewing this batch, the imperial pen would be put away for this year.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch requests to see you."

"Xuan."

"Your Majesty, I, Ye Shixin, the eunuch of the palace, come to see Your Majesty and respectfully wish Your Majesty the best of health."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Little Li in Zhaozheng Palace and the palace maid named Yan Shuer are from the same hometown. The day before yesterday, when Little Li passed by the Imperial Garden, he saw Yan Shuer and thought she looked very familiar, so he went to find Yan Shuer. After chatting, he found out that they were from the same hometown. Little Li saw that Yan Shuer was beautiful and thought that if Yan Shuer could meet His Majesty, she would be able to rise to prominence. At that time, as Yan Shuer's mentor, he would also be able to gain wealth and glory."

How old fashioned.

"The maid named Yan Shu'er said that she had been tending to the flowers in the imperial garden for three years, in the cold winters and hot summers. When she saw her fellow villager Xiao Lizi telling her that he had a way to transfer her to serve His Majesty, she immediately accepted the offer."

"The two of them hit it off immediately, and Little Li Zi transferred Yan Shu'er to Zhaozheng Palace on the grounds that the palace maid Liu was ill and Your Majesty's Zhaozheng Palace could not be short of people."

"As for the sick palace maid Liu, it had nothing to do with Little Li's unauthorized transfer of the palace maids from the Imperial Garden to the Zhaozheng Palace. She died of a high fever last night."

"I have interrogated the three palace maids who slept with Liu. Three days ago, Liu Fangcao caught a cold. Doctor Ding from the Imperial Hospital prescribed medicine for her. The palace maids who slept with her took turns to prepare the medicine and bring her food. She has been recuperating in the lower room and has not left. No one else has visited her. Yesterday, she had a high fever again and passed away at night."

When the palace maids and eunuchs were on duty, they lived in the ear rooms or the side rooms. When they were not on duty, they lived in the lower rooms, with four people in a room.

"Regarding Mrs. Liu's illness, it was because she fell into a pond a month ago and has been in poor health ever since. At that time, it was Doctor Xia who diagnosed her and prescribed medicine for her. I sent someone to find the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital, and also Doctor Ding and Doctor Xia. Mrs. Liu's illness and death were not premeditated, but just coincidence."

"Didn't the other people serving in Zhaozheng Palace feel anything wrong when they saw the unfamiliar face of the palace maid?" Qin Zhi asked.

"Little Li was promoted by Zhang Deli and Eunuch Zhang. They all thought that Your Majesty knew about this."

"Besides, Yan Shu'er only came for one morning, and you caught her right away after one encounter, so the others didn't have time to do anything."

Ye Shixin, the eunuch in charge of the imperial court, was holding a thick stack of papers covered with words and red ink.

"This is their confession. Your Majesty, please read it."

"No, I won't read it. You can take it back and file it."

"Little Li should be beaten with fifty sticks in front of the palace. All the palace men in Zhaozheng Palace should go and watch."

"As for Yan Shu'er, Little Li has risked his life to help her. After twenty lashes, her wounds will heal. Let her take Liu's place and serve in Zhaozheng Palace."

Qin Zhi flipped through the information about Yan Shuer handed over by the Jingjisi and Xiuyiwei, snorted lightly, and curled his thin lips slightly.

Yan Shuer, 18 years old, was from Taiping County in the capital. She entered the palace five years ago and worked as a maid in the imperial garden for three years. She worked in the wind and sun, but she had skin as white as ice and snow. Her exposed hands were as soft as catkins, and her fingers were as smooth as scallion roots, without any calluses. She was so attractive, but no one had noticed her beauty before.

There is a wonderful person in my harem.

interesting.
