It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

It's more than just shocking, it's downright terrifying.

The table in the room was filled with various cakes and snacks, served on exquisite plates.

It would have been fine if it were just snacks, there were a bunch of people sitting at the table, and a circle of people standing nearby, and Lin Zhihe didn't recognize any of these people.

Judging from the way they are dressed, some of them look like concubines, and some are probably the concubines' personal maids. In other words, there are a bunch of "Cui Jinxi" sitting inside.

Looking at these people of all kinds, Lin Zhihe showed undisguised surprise on his face. With his mouth slightly open, he subconsciously looked for the queen.

However, there was no trace of the queen among the crowded crowd, not even the shadow of Li Xian.

Just when Lin Zhihe was at a loss, the person at the table spoke first.

"This is Lin Cairen, right?" A woman wearing a sapphire blue wide-sleeved jacket spoke slowly.

From the way she spoke, Lin Zhihe felt that she was not an ordinary person. Although this woman's headdress was simple, even wearing only a golden hairpin, her aura was different from others.

Lin Zhihe nodded and said, "I am Lin Zhihe, your concubine. I greet all the sisters."

The person who was speaking smiled slightly and waved at her, "Come and sit down."

Not understanding the current situation, Lin Zhihe could only obediently sit next to her.

Seeing that Lin Zhihe was confused, the person on the side spoke up, "This is the current queen's sister. Before she got married, she was the eldest daughter of the Wang family. Now she is the wife of Duke Zheng."

Unsure of the relationship between the original owner and the wife of Duke Zheng, Lin Zhihe could only nod again and smile at her.

The wife of Duke Zheng was very easygoing. She took her hand and started chatting about family matters. "I don't think I've met you many times, but I'm very familiar with your sister."

I heard from Liu Li that the original owner's sister was the wife of the Duke of Chu, and the noble lady in front of her was the wife of the Duke of Zheng. Naturally, they had more opportunities to interact with each other.

"I heard my sister mention Madam. She said that Madam is a simple and simplistic person. She is an admirable woman."

While talking to her, Lin Zhihe carefully looked at this woman. She was the queen's sister, but from her appearance, she didn't look older than the queen and was very well maintained.

The wife of Duke Zheng is so old, so Duke Zheng must be an old man. It is conceivable that her elder brother-in-law, Duke Chu, must also be an old man.

Except for the second sister Lin Zhiqiang, all the other daughters of the Lin family married old men.

Addicted to marrying an old man?

"The Queen Mother sent someone to tell me the story of the Zhenhuan Chuan that you told me yesterday. I found it very interesting, so today I brought some sisters from outside the palace to listen to your story." Lady Zheng Guogong pointed to the people around her.

Hi, it turns out these are all her book fans, why didn’t you tell me earlier!

Before Lin Zhihe could say something like "dare not" or "usually", the Queen walked into the side hall.

Just as everyone was about to stand up, the queen immediately raised her hand to stop them, "Quick, sit down, don't be so reserved."

"Tell me quickly." Although the queen pretended to be indifferent, the desire in her eyes could not be suppressed and she stared at her straightly.

...

"Yesterday, I was talking about Yu Ying'er sleeping with me." Lin Zhihe imitated the storyteller, picked up a piece of cake from the table and slapped it on the table, "Let's continue from the last time. Once Yu Ying'er became favored, she became lawless."

"That day, Yu Ying'er was sitting in her sedan chair. Guess who she ran into?" The first step in storytelling is to interact with the audience.

"Who?" someone next to him quickly asked.

"It was Shen Meizhuang." Lin Zhihe paused, giving the audience time to react, and then continued, "Who would have thought that Yu Ying'er would be so arrogant because of her favor that she actually said to Shen Meizhuang, 'Sister, I am anxious to serve the emperor, can you let my sedan chair go first?'"

"That's too much!" A lady threw the melon seeds in her hand onto the table, her face turning red with anger.

Another person echoed, "Yes, she is a fake who has just gained favor. Shen Meizhuang's position is higher than hers! No way!"

Lin Zhihe secretly looked at the Queen's expression. Although the Queen looked unhappy, she obviously did not agree with the idea of ​​not giving in.

"Shen Meizhuang stepped back a few steps and said to Yu Ying'er in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, 'Since my sister is in a hurry, let me go first.'" Lin Zhihe continued.

"Ah? You really gave in!" The woman was a little disappointed.

But the queen smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Sister Meizhuang's approach.

Lin Zhihe continued the narration like a stream of flowing water: "What a capable Shen Meizhuang!" The second step in storytelling is to please the audience.

As they were talking, the sun was already shining directly on their faces. Lin Zhihe estimated that it was around 11 o'clock in the afternoon.

She began to admire herself. As soon as a TV series started, she would sit on a stool and repeat it to them. She had been doing this for two days.

Madam Zheng followed Lin Zhihe's gaze and looked at the sun in the sky. Then she said in a doting voice, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Our storyteller must be hungry."

Lin Zhihe touched her belly embarrassedly. She was not hungry, but she really needed the opportunity to eat.

Seeing Lin Zhihe's reaction, everyone thought she was really hungry, so they all stopped and prepared to eat.

The queen is the queen after all, and she can entertain such a large room of people for dinner. If it were her Vermilion Bird Palace, there would be no place to accommodate them.

Without time to think about these things, Lin Zhihe decided to start implementing his first step of the plan.

She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, but suddenly her hand shook and she accidentally dropped the food onto her lapel.

"Ah!" Lin Zhihe deliberately made a sound for fear that no one could see it.

Following Lin Zhihe's voice, everyone looked at her clothes that were stained with soup and oil. The Queen quickly said, "If you don't mind, go to my palace and find a piece of clothing to change into."

I don’t mind, I don’t mind, of course I don’t mind!

"Your concubine thanks the Queen." Lin Zhihe bowed and followed Li Xian to the Queen's bedroom.

As she walked, she reviewed in her mind the key points that Liu Li had drawn for her. Next to the gem box was a cloisonné jewelry box with a key in it. She took the key and opened the cabinet at the back.

The Queen's bedroom is really huge! It must be dozens of square meters!

She followed Li Xian slowly, watching him open a cabinet in the corner and touch the clothes inside with some affection.

"These are the Queen's old clothes. The Queen has never given her clothes to anyone else, not even the wife of Duke Zheng." The implication was that it was a great honor for Lin Zhihe to wear the Queen's old clothes today.

Lin Zhihe looked at the "honors" in the closet, put her hand on a lilac-colored dress, touched it, and chose the crescent-white one next to it.

"Then I'll let Lian'er help you change your clothes." Li Xian waved his hand and a maid came out.

Lin Zhihe pretended to be horrified and shook his head repeatedly, with a look of distress on his face, "I usually let Taohong serve me, I'm not used to others."

"This..." Li Xian hesitated. Miss Lin was spoiled by the Lin family and was lawless, so it was understandable that she had some strange habits.

"All of you go out. I feel uncomfortable if you stare at me." This time Lin Zhihe's tone was much tougher and he gave the order directly.

Li Xian was very happy this time and left with Lian'er.

Lin Zhihe picked up her clothes and started to change, but she listened carefully to the footsteps of the two people.

Only after making sure that the two people had walked far away did I look back, and only after watching their backs as they walked out did I start to take action.

It was the first time for Lin Zhihe to do such a thing, and her heart was pounding so hard that it went straight to the top of her head.

All the sounds around her seemed very suspicious to her ears, as if someone would break in and catch her in the next second.

Under the intense tension, her ears and limbs became extremely hot, and she was like a flammable object at this moment.

Calm down, Lin Zhihe said to himself.

This is the only chance we have, so we must not waste it.

She reached for the cloisonné jewelry box and opened it gently, without letting it make any sound.

The moment the lid was opened, Lin Zhihe's eyes went dark and his brain went blank.

All keys.

There are more than a dozen keys in the cloisonné box - big and small, with patterns and without patterns.

She pinched the fake jade ring in her sleeve. There was nothing she could do but try her luck.

After taking a look at the lock hanging on the cabinet next to him, Lin Zhihe picked up a lock of similar size and inserted it into the keyhole.

No.

Lin Zhihe suddenly felt that she was really stupid. Why did she pick one up to try?

Why didn't she try all the keys together?

Grabbing the keys, she tried them one by one. With good luck, the lock opened on the third one.

Her jade ring was lying in the third compartment of the cabinet. It seemed like an illusion. Lin Zhihe felt that the jade ring seemed to be crying, crying because it was abandoned in this dark corner.

Don't cry, I will take you to see the light again.

She picked up the jade ring, put the fake jade ring in her sleeve back in its original place, and then replaced the cabinet.

"what are you doing?"
