When he saw the three people approaching, he just gave a simple salute.
"Okay, I'm here...Thank you, Brother Yan."
Standing in front of the small courtyard, Li Shuwan bowed gently to Nan Yanxi.
"Whenever something happens in the future, Brother Yan remember to come and play with me..."
"Okay, okay... definitely, go back quickly." Nan Yanxi agreed with a smile.
After bowing respectfully to Li Shuwan, Nan Yanxi turned around and led the guard back the way they came.
Li Shuwan stood in front of the courtyard gate, watching the two people's backs disappearing at the end of the road.
Sighing faintly, she turned around and looked at the empty yard. Li Shuwan couldn't help but feel a little lonely in her heart.
I am the only one in such a big yard. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel like I am about to be forgotten.
I don’t know when this kind of day will end.
He lowered his head and walked slowly into the courtyard, when someone suddenly spoke beside him.
"Um...hehe...bless you, my queen, who was that just now?"
Li Shuwan was startled, turned around and saw that it was the eunuch standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard.
I can't help but have some doubts in my heart. This guy usually doesn't bother to look at me.
Normally, he would be indifferent when talking to him, so why did he take the initiative to talk to me now?
He smiled softly: "That one just now? That's the new personal eunuch beside His Highness, Eunuch Yan."
"Oh..." When the eunuch heard that he was from His Highness, the smile on his face became even more flattering.
"Just now...I heard my mother-in-law call me, which father-in-law is...Brother Yan?"
"Is he a relative of my mother-in-law's family?"
Even the burly guard on the side bowed down at this time, and his expression became kinder.
Li Shuwan smiled and shook her head, explaining: "No... I'm not related..."
"Brother Yan and I just met, um... we are friends!"
"He also promised that he would come to play with me when he has nothing to do recently. I would like to ask the two eldest brothers to be accommodating."
"Oh...yes, yes..." The two of them hurriedly catered to her, their tone becoming extremely respectful.
He bowed deeply to Li Shuwan and said, "Madam, the wind is chilly at night. Madam, please go back quickly. Don't get cold."
"If you need anything, just call and we will be waiting for you at any time..."
The eunuch was the best at talking and added: "Oh, by the way, I heard that my queen's personal maid went home to visit her relatives."
"It's inconvenient to have no one to serve you. There have been a lot of smart girls in the palace recently."
"I will personally pick out five or six smart and beautiful ones for you tomorrow..."
"Ah?" Li Shuwan was stunned when she heard this, thinking to herself, what's going on?
It's not like I haven't mentioned it before. People say that the palace is short of manpower and cannot be mobilized.
what is it today?
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, is it just because Brother Yan is the valet of His Highness the Second?
Thinking of this, Li Shuwan laughed to herself.
A noble man like myself is not as powerful as Brother Yan, a personal eunuch.
Father, father, if you send your daughter to the palace, it will be of no use to your official position.
I thought so in my heart, but I agreed with my mouth.
After all, it would be nice to have someone to talk to in this deep palace courtyard.
"Then thank you two big brothers..."
"Where is it... The queen has broken the little people, come into the house quickly!"
The eunuch and the guards respectfully sent Li Shuwan back to the courtyard. Seeing the door of the room gently closing, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Gently wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, the eunuch whispered to the guard on the side: "Hey... I mean Lao Zhang..."
"It seems that we have to be careful in the future. This lady has a back-up."
The guard named Lao Zhang nodded, with a grimace on his face: "You said we two are quite unlucky."
"You're asking someone to find connections. You've just found such a free job. You haven't felt comfortable for a few days, and now you're serving him again?"
"Shh..." the eunuch hurriedly hissed: "please keep your voice down, don't you want to live anymore?"
"Didn't you see the kiss that Brother Yan called me just now?"
"Well... tomorrow we will ask someone to find out if there really is such an Eunuch Yan around His Highness."
"If there is, our good days will be over."
...
Nan Yanxi walked side by side with the guard on the way there.
Turning around and taking a look, this boy looked young and quite fair.
The talkative Nan Yanxi couldn't help but strike up a conversation: "Little brother? What's your last name?"
"Back to my father-in-law, my surname is Li, and my last name is Wei..."
"Oh...Li Wei, what a good name." Nan Yanxi nodded.
Then he asked: "Why do I feel that the noble lady just now has no status at all in the palace?"
"Oh... don't worry and talk boldly. Our family will not blame you. If you talk carefully, our family will reward you."
Hearing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded respectfully: "Thank you very much, father-in-law."
"Go back to my father-in-law, because the noble lady is not from our side, nor is she someone who has been favored by the emperor before."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Nan Yanxi took out a small amount of silver ingots from her arms and handed it over.
He smiled and said to Li Wei: "Come here, I'll reward you. You also know that our family just followed His Highness the Second."
"There are many things that I don't quite understand. Brother, you are always in the palace. Please explain it to us."
"Oh, my father-in-law is so polite... I would like to thank my father-in-law." When Li Wei saw Yin Zi, his face suddenly burst into laughter.
He quickly took it with both hands and whispered: "According to this, if I say this, it will be considered treason."
"But father-in-law, you are not an outsider, so I am brave enough to say something."
Li Wei paused, looked around and said in a low voice: "Father, you don't know something..."
"Since the Emperor fell ill, haven't our Highnesses taken over the affairs of the country?"
"So in this harem, those powerful empresses in the past were all given up by His Highness..."
Li Wei stretched out his hand and wiped it on his neck, then raised his eyebrows at Nan Yanxi.
Then he said: "In this palace now, except for the family members arranged by His Highness, there are basically some people with little status left."
"What a talented, noble person, Jieyu..."
"To put it bluntly, these people probably didn't even know what the emperor was like before."
"However, these people are used to being masters, and they still have some tempers, so we usually serve them reluctantly."
As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and pointed behind him: "But this lady is neither from our side nor the old man in the palace."
"It was the county magistrate on the southernmost island who took the initiative to send it here for the sake of his own official career."
"But he doesn't want to think about it. In the current situation, why don't he send his daughter to the pit of fire in vain?"
Nan Yanxi nodded in realization: "That's why you don't like her very much, right?"
Li Wei scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well...that's pretty much what it means."
