The little eunuch stood up, a little timidly.
"In the palace?" Ye Qianning asked.
"Yes." The little eunuch's voice was trembling.
Ye Qianning looked at the little eunuch who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, as if he had just entered the palace, and he seemed not yet proficient in saluting.
"Who sent you?"
Upon hearing this, the little eunuch immediately knelt down again: "This slave is to serve the Eighth Prince."
Sang Zhi?
Ye Qianning was a little surprised.
"The Eighth Prince asked me to give this to Miss Xiang." The little eunuch took out a package from his arms.
Ye Qianning took it and opened it with her little hand. Inside was a porcelain vase and two shining gold ingots...
She looks really poor, even the old-fashioned guy knows how to give her gold.
Ye Qianning opened the porcelain bottle again. There were several small black pills inside. She brought her nose close to her nose and smelled it. She found that it was a good medicine, an excellent medicine for treating knife wounds.
"This bottle of medicine..."
"I don't know what it is. I'm just here to deliver medicine." The little eunuch thought there was something wrong with the medicine, so he knelt down in fear and kept kowtowing.
"...Is this how you serve the Eighth Prince?" Ye Qianning couldn't help but frown. Are you sure you didn't stab Sang Zhi in the back?
"Slave... I have just been in the palace for a month."
"There are several people serving in the Eighth Prince's courtyard."
"There... there is a nanny, a palace maid, and a father-in-law. The father-in-law passed away a month ago, so the servant was assigned to the Eighth Prince's Courtyard."
"Didn't my father-in-law teach me the rules when I entered the palace?"
"Some... the steward said that when you meet a noble person, you should kowtow."
Ye Qianning stared at him and thought. The steward of the inner court assigned a new person to Sang Zhi. This young eunuch had made several mistakes since he entered the palace. If he met a noble person in the palace and made a mistake, Sang Zhi would also suffer.
"Luo Xuan, when you go to the palace and go to Eunuch Li, you will find a capable steward."
Luo Xuan was a little confused: "Miss, what do you want to do with the father-in-law?"
"Teach the little old-fashioned little follower some training."
"Yes." Luo Xuan left
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and was trembling with fear: "Ms. Xiang, spare your life, Miss Xiang, please spare your life."
"Stand up." Ye Qianning said.
The little eunuch lay his head on the ground and did not dare to move.
"Get up, don't be so afraid."
The little eunuch hesitated for a few moments before slowly getting up and standing beside him trembling slightly.
Ye Qianning's face turned pale when she saw him, and she felt a little pity for him. He looked like a young man, very thin but fair. Who would enter the palace and become a eunuch if he was not in trouble.
"You don't have to be afraid. Inside the palace is no different than outside. There are many noble people in the palace and there are many rules. It's not enough to just kowtow when something happens."
"Yes..." The little eunuch nodded.
"You have been with the Eighth Prince for a month, and you should know some things about the Eighth Prince. You can't make mistakes when serving in his courtyard. You must know that once you enter the palace and recognize the master, you are not yourself. If you do something wrong, you will be implicated. Master, do you know?"
"I know, I know." The little eunuch nodded.
"You just entered the palace and don't know anything. I asked my father-in-law to come and let him teach you some of the palace's behavior. You don't have to be afraid." Ye Qianning said softly.
The most thoughtful people in the palace will take advantage of these things to cause trouble. Even if the master does not benefit, they will misinterpret it to mean that the master benefits.
Therefore, it is very important to employ people in the palace. The smart ones can turn danger into safety, while the clumsy ones can get the master involved if they do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing.
Sang Zhi was already stupid enough. If he had such a reckless and timid father-in-law by his side again, he might be attacked that day.
The little eunuch was a little surprised when he heard this, with a hint of red in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qianning noticed something strange.
