Chapter 188: Girl Ji

Miss Ji has been studying for a few years. She was sent to the palace by a chieftain surnamed Li. She also said that someone would take care of her when she entered the palace. However, the father-in-law took care of herself and went to see a yard where no one lived. Although the yard was full of books, no one came normally... The emperor's library was large, and there were more than a dozen people who took care of it. Usually, the emperor would send people to pick up any books... So the errands here were comfortable... The high-level palace maids also served by low-level palace maids. After all, the palace maids who worked here all had to read short articles, and sometimes it was inevitable to copy and write. Those people would call their aunts when they saw the palace maids in charge of books here, which was much better than in other places.

"What is the girl's name?" asked the old eunuch who was in charge of the study.

"Yuan Zhi." said Miss Ji.

"Just call girl Xiao Yuanzi, what is the purpose of the girl here?" The old eunuch Guan continued to ask.

"I...I have no purpose..." said Miss Ji.

"Then stay well, don't think about it... This way, life will be more comfortable... Our family is not a mean person, our family is a scholar, and our family will not make things difficult for the girl. Our family's surname is Li... We are the same hometown as the girl. Alas... I have never been safe in my hometown for many years. I wonder if my brother is still alive... Our family can't go back..."

"Eunuch Li..." Miss Ji felt a little calm, but this time she entered the palace. In order to get close to the emperor, Mr. Li, the chieftain who raised him, said that the Han people bullied Yao people for a long time. Only by killing the emperor could the servant Yao people turn over... Since I was a child, I had to practice in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... I got close to the emperor, killed him... I also had poison... but I couldn't see the emperor here. I have thought about how many times that the emperor was sitting in a high position and stabbed him with a sharp knife.

But I knew that the Forbidden City was so big that I knew that everything around me could be used as weapons was taken away, but I knew that the emperor would not come to see me at all.

"Eunuch Li...will the emperor come here?" asked Miss Ji.

"You said this... This imperial study room is in the yard in front. If the emperor really comes, he will only sit in the hall of the study room in front. Moreover, our Long Live Master has been reading and working in the Qianqing Palace. It is just a warehouse for books. How can the emperor come here to find a few books?"

"Can I go ahead?" asked Miss Ji.

"Does Xiao Yuanzi want to see what Master Long is like? To be honest, we have never seen him before. He should be about the same age as a girl... We should not run to other places at will when we are on duty. Moreover, if Master Long comes, it will be surrounded by others. Although he can walk around the Forbidden City, he will be inseparable from serving people wherever he goes, and he doesn't need us to serve him at all. So it's quite comfortable to be a job here, especially for people like us who love reading. If you go to the washing machine like those people, you will have to take off a few layers of skin... Don't make mistakes, if you make mistakes, you will be punished..."

"Thank you for your reminder..."

"Don't go around if you're okay... If you're not lucky, you'll be beaten for no reason. Don't say I didn't remind you... The fact that the palace maid was beaten for no reason is not a rare thing in this Forbidden City. Even the new master is not easy to mess with..."

"But why did I hear that the former queen was deposed for beating the little palace maid..."

"You are right... but she didn't beat the little palace maid, but the woman the emperor favored. Are you? Besides, then Niang Wan was also suffering at that time... He was beaten in blood and was beaten in public. In short, there are many rules in this palace, and I don't like my people. " Eunuch Li said, "Girl, you smile with a three-point smile when you see people. It's not so good for you to be so tense..."

"Didn't I laugh?" Miss Ji couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I can't see the emperor anymore..." She felt relieved. The palace was so big that she could not see the emperor, so the assassination plan could not be implemented. After all, Hezhou is a countryside. Mr. Li, who raised himself, would never have thought that the palace was much larger than the entire Hezhou city. He could not have thought that the emperor would have to follow him when traveling at home. His diet was checked and tested for poisoning. How could it be as simple as that in ordinary people's houses? That means that the emperor could not die, so he would have to stay here. It was actually not bad. It was all books. In the past, who had so many books in Hezhou, even if he could not finish reading it in his lifetime, he could not walk around at will, and he could never see the flowers in his cradle, and he could not enjoy freedom. How high the palace walls are.

"This imperial study is not actually in the emperor's harem..." said Eunuch Li, "I can't see the empresses in this library. Don't worry, the empresses can't come forward at will."

"Really... Then I don't have to worry about being beaten..."

"What do you mean? There are still people in this palace who are willing to punish you. If you do something wrong and break the rules, you will also discipline the nanny..." Eunuch Li said, "It's just that our nanny here is as kind as me... I won't make things difficult for the girl unless I have to."

A false alarm... Miss Ji's heart was relieved.

"If you are bored, there will be a garden outside our yard. The scenery is still good. There is a library in front of you. There is a large hall in front of you. There are ministers who sometimes work there. Many of them are Hanlin bachelors, and sometimes they are allowed by the emperor to come to the library to find some books. There is no shortage of young talents in it."

"The Emperor is working there?"

"How can it be..." said Eunuch Li, "This is not the harem where the concubine lives... You are just an ordinary little palace maid... You don't have the chance to enter the palace. If that empress wants to read a book and comes to us, you are responsible for sending it over. We generally don't go to the empress's bedroom at will. But generally, the empress doesn't read much, and even if they want to read a book, they will send someone to pick it up..."

Miss Ji's mood was like going up and down... This old man was really good at fooling him. He felt that he was just working in an area that the emperor was difficult to come to. Even if he could meet those Hanlin bachelors, so what? Those people were young and talented, and the scholars he knew were all old men... No matter how young he was, he was middle-aged, and it was difficult for this Jinshi in Beijing to take the exam.

Life in this library is really leisurely. The old scholars have also seen a few... Anyway, I don't like the excitement. Miss Ji thinks life is okay.

"Let me go..." The voice of a child in the afternoon alarmed her. The accent was from Guangxi, and it was a little eunuch who was beaten. No one dared to say anything when others were punished. He even beaten with the tortured eunuch. Of course, he was beaten very fiercely.

"Who is that?" asked Miss Ji.

"I don't know, it seems to be from the front horse house..." said Eunuch Li, "This adult is riding a horse, probably because the child can't do things..."

"Will someone kill someone like this beating... Father-in-law, should we..." Miss Ji was worried. Eunuch Li said: "It's good that you'll see too much. We can't care about other people's business, let alone the guy who cares about the horse house is so good that he doesn't take me seriously at all."

The whip hit the child, bloody... I lay on the ground for half an hour without anyone paying attention.

Ji Yuanzhi couldn't help it, so she walked to him. People in the palace didn't like to meddle in such idiots.

The little eunuch was still breathing, but he was knocked unconscious just now... Ji Yuanzhi picked him up, and Eunuch Li said, "Xiao Yuanzi, let's do this kind of rough work..."

"You are such a good person..." Ji Yuanzhi said.

"Who wants to be a villain? This child seems to be too dissatisfied with discipline..." said Eunuch Li, "I hope he can understand the way to survive here, otherwise no one will collect the body if he dies."

The two dragged him into the residence of the Mafang Mansion... and stayed beside him, and he slowly woke up.

"Who is sister?" asked the little eunuch, "Why don't you want to live anymore when you save me, so you go against them all day long."

"My name is Xiao Yuanzi. This is Eunuch Li from the Library. We are the same hometown as you, why don't you want to live?" Ji Yuanzhi asked.

"My parents were killed by officers and soldiers... I was also cut by them... I don't want to be their slave..."

"It's better to live without a single life than to die." Eunuch Li said, "The evil you have done in this life was created by yourself in your previous life..."

He had a negative thought, but the palace people could only comfort themselves like this...

"You have to practice hard in this life...you will live a good life in the next life..." Eunuch Li advised others like this. Miss Ji could only follow: "Yes, if you seek death, I'm afraid you will be even more miserable in the next life..."

Is there anything worse than him? The child was named Wang Zhi, who was from the Datengxia area. His parents had been killed. He must have been pretending to be hatred in his heart. Being beaten and starving was his commonplace. Ji Yuanzhi couldn't bear it, so she went to see him often and brought him some food. They soon got along.

"If you don't want your enemy to be happy, you can't die..." Ji Yuanzhi said, and she glanced at Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li quickly lowered her head and said, "Xiao Yuanzi, what she said is some truth..." I don't know whether Eunuch Li's words are true or false, but they must work for this child... He is a scholar and knows some truths, but looking at Miss Ji's eyes, he feels that this matter can only be said according to this child...

"This is the king and the loser..." said Miss Ji, "You are not a hero who escapes... Now that you have suffered, you will have a chance in the future... If you can't even stand this little... What kind of man is this? You are still young now, please please these people first. In the future, it will not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

Eunuch Li was scared, and this girl was indeed not a good person... Fortunately, the emperor didn't come here, and if he reported it secretly, Xiao Yuanzi would definitely die. He had done something unethical, and it was hard to take what he said seriously.

"Girl, you must be careful when speaking in the future. There are also many eunuchs and palace maids." Eunuch Li kindly dissuaded.

"Thank you, my grandfather, for your reminder..." said Miss Ji, "Xiao Wang, don't talk nonsense like your sister. Fortunately, I, Eunuch Li, are a good person..."

"I understand. I'll be beaten to death if I say such things." Wang Zhi said, "I won't harm the people who help me... Don't worry, I will be careful in the future. I will no longer deliberately go against those people... I will live well."

After that day, the little eunuch was really obedient. He might be really worried that he would be even worse in his next life... Maybe it wasn't, but he chose to endure...
