Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

After knowing what was going on in Zichen Palace, Wu Qing did not return to her duty room after dinner. Instead, she walked around the yard for a long time to familiarize herself with her new working environment.

There is no official owner of the Zichen Palace, so it is lent to the Honglu Temple, and is occasionally used to receive foreign envoys. When there is no state banquet, it is maintained for daily use during the day, and there is basically nothing to do after dinner.

As soon as the sun went down and it was still dark, Aunt Xu came to find Wu Qing and said, "You are a newcomer, don't be late. Go there early to gain some experience."

Wu Qing was curious about how her father-in-law celebrated his birthday, so she asked, "Aunt, who did he invite to his birthday party?"

It wasn't a birthday at all, so Shichen wouldn't invite anyone. He just brought his two followers.

Aunt Xu's heart skipped a beat, but she replied naturally, "Palace servants are not allowed to celebrate birthdays. Eunuch Shi just invited a few people to have a meal together."

Wu Qing pursed her lips and nodded to indicate that she understood and wouldn't say anything nonsense. She also remembered that He Cui had said she couldn't celebrate her birthday on July 15th, so she secretly made her an exceptionally beautiful lotus lantern.

Walking towards the Qiushi Gate on the east side, Wu Qing was still thinking about leaving now? Wouldn't the door be locked soon?

When they were almost at the gate, Aunt Xu led them around a corner and headed towards a row of houses on the south side of Qiushi Gate. When Wu Qing looked at it during the day, she remembered that there was a sign hanging on the door that said "Kitchen Preparation Room". She didn't go in. From the outside, it looked much more spacious than the duty room where she lived.

Aunt Xu noticed that Wu Qing was still wearing the same clothes she wore during the day, without any new clothes or makeup. She frowned slightly, thinking that this person still didn't know how to please Shi Chen. She wanted to remind him, "Why don't you change into something brighter?"

"Only this first-class clothing was newly issued. The others are even older." Wu Qing replied naturally, and what she said was all true.

Aunt Xu: "Then at least dress yourself up."

"Rouge only produces that much in a year, so I dare not use it." Wu Qing continued.

This is all true. He Cui saved up the little money she earned from making lotus lanterns for a whole year, and she was thinking of saving some to pay it back!

Aunt Xu didn't say anything else. She knew that this person was stupid and there was no point in saying anything now.

Wu Qing didn't think much about it, she was just thinking about whether her boss would dislike giving her a sachet.

Ever since she came here, she wanted to learn needlework. Her hand injury had not healed yet, so He Cui embroidered this for her. She put some herbs in it and asked her to put it at the head of the bed, saying that it could repel insects and ward off evil spirits. It was also the only new item she could find after looking through it.

As soon as Aunt Xu arrived at the door, she straightened her collar, adjusted the tie on her clothes, and then raised her head to tuck her temples.

Wu Qing watched and tidied herself up as he did.

Aunt Xu looked at this and thought to herself that this person also cared about her, so that was easy to deal with. She looked at Wu Qing more favorably than before and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Come in!" The voice coming from the room was not shrill, but sounded like a normal man's voice.

Aunt Xu immediately put on a smile and pushed the door open.

Just as Wu Qing had imagined, the room was very spacious. There was a table full of food, not only meat but also jars of what looked like wine.

There were already three people sitting at the table, all eunuchs. The leader was the oldest, about thirty years old. Although he was sitting, one could tell that he was tall and burly. No wonder they said he could fight against a wolf.

The other two looked much younger, only in their early twenties, and were a little thin, which completely matched Wu Qing's impression of eunuchs.

The leader should be the head eunuch Shi Chen. He didn't look friendly and looked difficult to deal with. The look in his eyes made people feel uncomfortable. Wu Qing frowned slightly.

"Come on, sit down!" said the leading eunuch.

Wu Qing gave up her seat opposite the head eunuch to Aunt Xu and walked to a chair nearby. Just as she was about to sit down, someone on the eunuch's side stood up and said, "This is our sister who just came from the palace. Please sit here."

Wu Qing looked up and saw the place the other party was pointing at, which was just below the chief eunuch.

The eunuch was staring at him.

In her previous life, when Wu Qing was a social animal, she had also accompanied her manager to drink with clients. This scene was too similar, except that it was clearly a eunuch. Could it be that she was overthinking it? She subconsciously looked at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu laughed and said, "My bad, I forgot to introduce you, Wu Qing. This is Eunuch Shi, the head of our Zichen Palace." After saying that, she looked at Wu Qing and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come over and sit down!"

Wu Qing wasn't sure if there was something wrong, so she could only sit down and wait and see.

"This eunuch Shi will be your current steward from now on. Whether you are happy in this palace or not depends on whether he likes you." Aunt Xu introduced him enthusiastically.

Wu Qing stood up to serve the soup and dishes to Eunuch Shi, "I'm a new servant here, so I'd like to offer you some flowers to show my appreciation..."

"Hey?" The eunuch who had just pointed out her seat reached out and poured Wu Qing a glass of wine, winking, "That won't do. It's not sincere enough."

Wu Qing gritted her teeth secretly, then looked up with a smile.

She could drink the wine, but she was not sure whether there was anything fishy about the wine the other party handed her. She reached out and poured herself a glass from the wine jug in front of Eunuch Shi.

"Eunuch Shi, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea."

Shi Chen finally smiled at this time. This man really didn't look like a eunuch. No wonder he was said to be able to fight with a wolf. Wu Qing clinked glasses with Shi Chen at the same time.

Just as he put down the cup, the eunuch pointed to the seat and said that Wu Qing was late and should drink three cups as punishment.

Wu Qing drank again. To be honest, the wine was not strong and was even a little sweet, but drinking it with such a group of people made her feel really uncomfortable and her stomach was churning.

After a while, sweat appeared on her forehead. Wu Qing raised her hand and stroked from her forehead to her temples to wipe away the sweat.

Shi Chen looked at it, swallowed his saliva, raised one hand, but it fell on the hand that Wu Qing had just put down.

Wu Qing suppressed her nausea and did not move. She looked at Aunt Xu. She wanted to find out who had set up the game and from which step.

Aunt Xu saw it and said, "Wu Qing, you are not only good-looking, but also blessed."

Wu Qing realized that she was right.

She firmly pulled her hand out from under Shi Chen's fat hand: "Thank you, Eunuch Shi, for your consideration."

These were polite words, but everyone present could see that her actions did not show any shyness or refusal, but rather a clear rejection.

Shi Chen was immediately displeased. At this point, he simply looked Wu Qing up and down and said straight to the point, "If we don't make our family happy, how can you benefit? I heard that you also want to give a gift, but don't you understand that you have to give gifts that suit the recipient's needs? You can't just wait for pie to fall from the sky."

Aunt Xu saw that things were not going well and quickly stood up to pour Shi Chen a glass of wine. "Oh, Eunuch Shi, Wu Qing doesn't even have many changes of clothes. She understands everything. She's just still young. You need to teach her more."

In Wu Qing's previous life, she had only accompanied clients for a few drinks, and it was not so dirty as to have to go to bed with them. She really couldn't tolerate this, and if she sat down again, she would overturn the table.

She stood up, stared at Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt, I have something else to do, I'll leave first..."

Snapped! !

Before she could finish, she was slapped.

Wu Qing was totally surprised and turned to look at the other young eunuch who had been sitting beside her without saying a word.

"Who do you think you are? Eunuch Shi looks at you with respect. You were thrown out of Desheng Palace just to climb the emperor's bed. What? Are you still thinking of going back?" The other party's words, reeking of wine and meat, drilled straight into Wu Qing's head. He continued to spew, "You are a slut who is not worthy of being on the stage! Eunuch Shi doesn't despise you, but you still take advantage of him. Believe it or not, I will kill you right now without anyone asking any questions."

Shi Chen didn't stop him. He had a cold face but a smile in his eyes. It was obvious that this person was his mouthpiece, and every word he said touched his heart.

If it were the previous palace maid, after being coaxed and threatened like this, she would probably be scared into agreeing to anything and would not dare to speak out afterwards.

Wu Qing raised her hand and rubbed her face. To be honest, it really hurt.

Her heart was in turmoil, but her expression was calm as usual. She didn't look angry at all, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Everyone thought Wu Qing had compromised.

Wu Qing held the wine glass, her fingers tightly clenched, her joints slightly white from the force. She noticed that she was revealing some emotion and immediately relaxed the strength of her hands.

Aunt Xu gently patted Wu Qing's hand, still smiling, but her fake smile made Wu Qing feel sick. She also acted like she was doing this for your own good and said, "Wu Qing, Eunuch Shi is a powerful and influential person in this world. It's a blessing for you that he favors you."

Wu Qing sneered in her heart. There was no need to think about it. She would try to persuade them first. If she couldn't persuade them, she would just take action. It was obvious that the two people around Eunuch Shi had helped him do many bad things.

She understood that the kind words before were just a warm-up, and what would come next was the Shura field she would face.

She lowered her head slightly to avoid Aunt Xu's gaze, but saw Shi Chen staring at her with greedy eyes, which made her stomach twitch.

If I hadn't felt unwell as soon as I came in and hadn't eaten almost anything, I would have vomited by now.

The air around seemed to freeze, and there was a depressing atmosphere.

Aunt Xu's mouth was still opening and closing as she continued to say some seemingly caring words, while Shi Chen was humming a little tune impatiently, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Every time Shichen knocked, it felt like knocking on Wu Qing's lungs, making her feel extremely suffocated.

Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down! She wanted to live well here more than anyone else, but if she had to live like this, she would rather die.

And even if she died, she would not let these bastards have an easy time.

Come on, let’s die together!
