Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Chapter 331 Secret

"Eunuch Jinzhong."

Before Jinzhong entered the inner hall, Chunchan, who had just walked out, called him.

Chunchan looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Jinzhong frowned and asked first.

"What's wrong? Is the master tired?"

Chunchan was just worrying about what excuse to use to deal with him, but when she saw him coming to her on his own initiative, her expression eased a little and she nodded.

"My master is really tired today. I just helped him take off his hairpins and rings, and helped him eat some cakes. Now he has gone to bed. Eunuch, please come in later."

Jinzhong heard this without the slightest doubt and nodded, muttering, "If that's the case, fine. Then I'll go and keep an eye on the master's dinner..."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked towards the small kitchen.

When Jinzhong's figure disappeared into the distance, Chunchan's mouth corners slightly raised, a sly smile quietly emerged and spread across her cheeks.

Yongshou Palace covers a vast area and has numerous halls. In the past, palace maids and eunuchs were constantly coming and going in it. But now, looking around, the huge palace is sparsely populated, as if it has been drained of its vitality, and the silence makes people feel uneasy.

Jinzhong, however, seemed to be oblivious to the situation, completely immersed in the small kitchen, unaware of the desolate outside world.

Strangely enough, this sudden change of identity seemed to be smooth sailing for him, without any obstacles.

He had served in the imperial court for decades, and had been doing the delicate work of serving people for years, so he had long been accustomed to it.

What's more, now he can serve the master - oh, now we should change to call her the Queen Mother, which is a blessing he has been begging for day and night for many days and nights.

I felt like I had seen the blue sky after the clouds had cleared, and I had a goal to strive for, so I worked with even greater enthusiasm.

In the blink of an eye, dusk fell like silk, and a cold wind whistled and swept in, blowing the fallen leaves on the branches all over the sky, swirling in the air, and then carrying these withered yellow leaves, rushing wildly on the bluestone floor of Yongshou Palace, making a rustling sound.

Dinner had just been respectfully brought into the inner hall by the young eunuchs. Jinzhong finished his work, straightened his clothes, and was about to walk towards the inner hall.

Unexpectedly, just as he took a step, Wang Chan suddenly appeared from the darkness, strode up to him, stretched out his arm, and stopped him.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, please stay..."

Wang Chan bent his body slightly with a cautious smile on his face.

"what happened?"

Jinzhong's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished by this sudden obstruction. He stopped abruptly, his face instantly filled with gloom, and he raised his eyes and glared at Wang Chan.

He asked impatiently, "What's the matter with you?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Wang Chan was deeply afraid of Jinzhong. Whenever he saw him, his calves would tremble.

Seeing Jinzhong's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, he was so scared that his tongue seemed to be tied, and the words turned around in his mouth for several times before he could barely squeeze them out.

"Nothing...ah, not nothing, there is something, eunuch. Chunchan is serving the Empress with her meal. Coincidentally, the Empress just ordered me to take you to try on some new clothes. You see, winter is almost here, and everyone in Yongshou Palace has received several sets of winter clothes. You'll be accompanying the Empress often in the future, so naturally you should have some too. Besides, when we go back to the Old Summer Palace, we'll definitely have to come back next autumn, so prepare some clothes in advance so you can stay warm during the winter..."

Wang Chan spoke haltingly, and when he finally finished, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead and were about to drip onto his face.

He secretly complained in his heart: This eunuch Jinzhong has eyes like knives, it's really hard to fool him!

But on the surface, she had to force herself to put on a guilty smile, which was uglier than crying.

Jinzhong listened to this incoherent explanation and stood there half-believing and half-doubting. But when he thought that this was Empress Yanwan's intention, even though he was full of doubts, he could only nod reluctantly.

"Let's go."

"Okay, sir, let's go now."

Wang Chan, as if granted amnesty, hurried ahead to lead the way. After finally completing this difficult task and turning the corner out of Jinzhong's sight, he raised his hand and fiercely wiped the cold sweat from his face.

I should stay away from this living ancestor in the future.

The room where the clothes were stored was surprisingly close, being located in the side room of Empress Yanwan's bedroom.

This is not in accordance with the rules.

"How dare you lie to me?"

When Jinzhong saw this place, he was immediately furious.

You have to know that the ear room is an exclusive place for the personal maids to live and work. Although he is a eunuch, he is still a man after all. Without the order from his superiors, it is a taboo to take even a second look at such a place.

Jinzhong stood at the door, suddenly turned his head and glared at Wang Chan fiercely.

Wang Chan shuddered with fear, but he was no longer afraid of him. He forced a mysterious smile on his face.

"Even if I had the guts to do so, I wouldn't dare! This is the Empress's personal order. I still have a lot of errands to do, so I'll take my leave now. Eunuch, please change your clothes and remember to go see the Empress. Don't keep her waiting too long. Missing something is a small matter, but displeasing the Empress is a big deal!"

As he said that, Wang Chan slipped away and disappeared without a trace.

After he ran a long way away, Chunchan, Wang Chan and Lancui quietly gathered together in the corner of Yongshou Palace, and he could vaguely hear their low voices talking.

"Oh my God, I'm so scared. This eunuch Jinzhong is really hard to fool..." Wang Chan patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

"Can we do this? Don't mess things up..."

Lan Cui frowned, her face full of worry.

Chunchan remained calm and waved her hand gently to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Jinzhong is loyal to his master and will obey his orders. Once he hears that it is his master's order, he will definitely do it. There will definitely be no mistakes..."

Fortunately, these words did not reach Jinzhong's ears.

He raised his hand and slowly opened the door, then stepped in hesitantly.

The layout of the ear room was normal, quiet and ordinary, except for a tray quietly placed on a table, which was particularly eye-catching.

The dim candlelight swayed slowly, reflecting on the objects in the tray, creating a strange and charming halo.

The halo was a strong and bright red, which caught the eyes directly, making people feel dizzy and dazed for a moment.

When Jinzhong focused his attention and saw the object clearly, his legs suddenly became weak uncontrollably and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He hurried to calm himself down, and the next moment, an irrepressible ecstasy surged into his heart like a surging tide, washing away all the previous panic.

He reached out his hand tremblingly, picked up the dress carefully, and looked at it almost reverently.

It was a striking red dress with an unusually simple style, totally unlike the complicated and luxurious clothes we usually wear. There was no embroidery on the front or back, only fine and even stitches, telling of the care that went into its production.

Looking at the cuffs and collar, delicate patterns of snakes entwined with flowers emerge quietly, appearing lifelike.

That branch of flowers is jasmine.

Jinzhong suddenly realized that this was actually a wedding gown or nightgown embroidered with a pattern of their love.
