My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

One emperor and one courtier.

This is true for external officials and even more so for eunuchs.

Zhao Quan was the chief eunuch during the reign of the late emperor. Now that the late emperor has ascended to heaven, people in his position were allowed to leave the palace and enjoy a life of luxury, even though there was an oral order left by the late emperor.

But I can't get away for the time being.

He helped the new emperor sort out the situation in the palace and pushed his young apprentice Dai Jinzhong in front of the new emperor.

Although his relationship with him is not as good as that of Sun Chang, who has been serving the new emperor since he was a child, his future is naturally better than that of other young eunuchs because of the skills he has learned from following him for so many years and his connections in the palace.

However, Zhao Quan didn't care about that anymore. Giving a push would fulfill the friendship between master and disciple and also leave a way out for himself.

As for how far Dai Jinzhong can go in the future, it depends on his luck.

Zhao Quan naturally had a house, land and shops outside the palace.

Having been with the late emperor for many years, the filial piety from his subordinates and the rewards from concubines, princes and princesses were enough for him to live out his life in peace.

But after Zhao Quan had explained all the affairs, he begged the new emperor to let him go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of the previous emperor.

The new emperor naturally tried to persuade him once, but seeing that Zhao Quan was determined to leave, he agreed without hesitation.

After all, Zhao Quan had been with the late emperor for many years and knew a lot.

I am still worried about letting her go out of the palace to live out her days.

But he volunteered to guard the imperial tomb. The place was remote and no one was allowed to approach except the tomb keepers and the tomb guard soldiers.

The new emperor was pleased with Zhao Quan's understanding, so he naturally gave him a few more instructions to make Zhao Quan's life more comfortable in the imperial mausoleum.

Zhao Quan stayed at the imperial mausoleum, getting up early every day to burn three incense sticks to the late emperor, and reciting scriptures to him in the evening.

On weekdays, there were two or three young eunuchs serving him. Although his life was harder than in the palace, it was stable and comfortable.

On the anniversary of the late emperor's death, the imperial mausoleum was unusually lively.

Zhao Quan, once a popular figure around the late emperor, is now a thing of the past.

He looked coldly at those who were crying in front of the late emperor's spirit, and could hardly find one who truly missed the late emperor.

Not to mention the new emperor, even the empress dowager and Princess Changle, who was once the most beloved by the late emperor, had such a frighteningly weak longing for him.

Some respectable people would greet and exchange a few words with Zhao Quan, the former chief eunuch, when they saw him.

It was rare for those who sycophanted with power not to make sarcastic remarks when they saw the former chief eunuch, who had now fallen to the point of guarding the imperial tomb.

Fortunately, Zhao Quan had been mentally prepared and had seen through the fickleness of human nature in recent days.

Not to mention others, even his little disciple Dai Jinzhong has now established a firm foothold beside the new emperor. Hasn't he been quite neglectful of his master?

He understands human nature!

But occasionally when burning incense to the late emperor, I couldn't help but mutter a few words in front of the late emperor's spirit about how people's hearts have changed.

Although Zhao Quan is in the imperial mausoleum, he was once the chief eunuch, and the network of people under him is unmatched by ordinary people.

News from the capital and the court was continuously sent to Zhao Quan.

He knew that the new emperor was gradually gaining a foothold, that Fu Zhiyi had been conferred the title of Duke Dingguo, and that the old ministers left behind by the previous emperor had gradually and reluctantly sided with the new emperor.

The late emperor has gradually been forgotten, and the influence he left behind is also slowly disappearing.

And he is getting older.

When this servant dies, perhaps there will be no one in this world who truly misses the late emperor.

It was not until he heard the news that Duke Ding’s tutor Zhiyi had returned to the capital with his wife and children to report on his work that Zhao Quan, who had been depressed after the late emperor’s third-year weekly sacrifice, finally perked up.
