Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, all eyes were focused on the man behind Emperor Yongning, wearing a dark eunuch robe, with a warm smile, bending over and holding a whisk.

The eunuch who was being watched was respectfully called Eunuch Changde, and he managed to keep a straight face.

I just cursed in my heart:

How did this melon get involved with me? Princess Zhaoming is taking such a big step.

It was Lord Lan just now, and I thought the next one would be some other Lord.

Finally it happened to him, it was impossible to guard against it!

Changde thought about his first half of life in a short time and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Every day he served Emperor Yongning with trepidation, worrying about what he ate, wore and drank.

She is really an old lady, worrying herself to death!

Changde is a positive and active person, and only the occasional flicker in his eyes reveals his inner unrest.

Emperor Yongning supported his face with one hand, half leaning lazily on the dragon throne.

Changde, Emperor Yongning is also looking forward to hearing something from Shen Zhao.

In the hall, the voices of ministers and Emperor Yongning discussing state affairs could be heard from time to time.

They are all old foxes in acting, and multitasking is child's play for them.

Shen Zhao didn't notice what the ministers were talking about. She just occasionally looked up and gazed into the hall.

Knowing they were talking, he lowered his head without interest.

Shen Zhao urged, "Gua Gua, speak quickly."

I feel a little sleepy and want to lean against the pillar to sleep.

But there are people next to me, it won’t work. It won’t work.]

Shen Zhao yawned, and the sound sounded confused.

The attendant who was diligently recording important court affairs said: Then should I leave?

Gua Gua: [Host, don’t sleep.

Eunuch Changde was originally named Lin Changde. He was a farmer's son from Xiaoliu Village, Qingshi Town, Changzhou.

When Lin Changde was ten years old, there was a severe drought in his hometown and there was no food harvest.

The disaster relief funds from the imperial court were distributed layer by layer, and by the time they reached Xiaoliu Village, there was almost nothing left.

There are a total of sixty households in Xiaoliu Village. All the tree roots in the mountains and the grass on the ground have been dug up clean.

The Lin family has two sons and one daughter, and Lin Changde is the eldest son.

In order to save a little food for their children, the Lin couple starved to death.

Lin Changde was the oldest of the three children. He grew up sensible early and took on the responsibility of supporting the family.

In order to allow his younger brothers and sisters to survive in his uncle's house, Lin Changde sold himself into the palace.

He got ten taels of silver and gave it all to Uncle Lin.

In this way, Lin Changde entered the palace and was bullied.

But by chance he met Emperor Yongning, who was still the crown prince at the time, and from then on he followed Emperor Yongning and served him.

After Lin Changde became the chief eunuch, he was able to ask someone to go to Changzhou to inquire about the relationship between his younger brother and his sister-in-law.

In the end, nothing was found. Uncle Lin and his family were no longer in Xiaoliu Village.

Lin Changde could only pray that his younger brother and sister-in-law would have a good ending by staying with Uncle Lin, and that they would be well fed, warmly clothed, and safe.

But as early as after Lin Changde entered the palace, Uncle Lin wanted to get rid of these two burdens.

Choose to secretly send the two children to another family.

It can't be sold because other people can't afford it.

Brother Lin and Sister Lin were sent to different families.

The family that adopted Lin Xiaomei had connections in the town, and they sold Lin Xiaomei to a human trafficker.

The human trafficker gave Lin Xiaomei to a wealthy man in his sixties, and Lin Xiaomei died tragically within a month.

In comparison, Brother Lin's fate was better.

He was given to a childless couple. Because he was a boy, the couple saved their own food and gave it to him.

After three months of persistence, sufficient food was transported from other places, the impact of the drought was minimized, and life gradually became hopeful.

The couple's family members all starved to death in the drought, and their land was sold just to get some food to fill their stomachs.

The house was dilapidated and the land was gone, so the couple had no choice but to take Lin Xiaodi to Yunzhou, a distant place three thousand miles away, to seek refuge with their relatives.

Shen Zhao: [Uncle Lin is really a piece of shit.

Brother Lin and Sister Lin are also descendants of the Lin family, so they can be given away at any time.

Moreover, Lin Changde had already given him ten taels of silver.

This money is just wasted.

If Lin Changde handed the child over to his brother and sister-in-law, maybe his brother and sister-in-law could live better than they are now.

Lin Xiaomei didn't have to lose her life at such a young age.

Brother Lin left his hometown, how pitiful!

Changde's face was already filled with sadness, as he had only just learned about his brother and sister-in-law's news.

Lin Changde had sent people to all the major county towns in Changzhou several times before, and even the provincial capital near Changzhou was not spared.

But no definite news came, but traces of Uncle Lin's family were found in a county town near Changzhou.

Uncle Lin cried and said that when his family was fleeing famine, his younger sister and younger brother Lin were lost.

I was so hungry that I was seeing stars, so how could I pay any attention to these two people?

Uncle Lin even turned around and said that Brother Lin and Sister Lin had already found a new home and that was why they left them on purpose.

Chang De was furious when he received the news and sent people to beat up Uncle Lin's family.

He gave ten taels of silver and told Uncle Lin about it.

At the latest in three years, he would ask someone to send the monthly allowance over so that Uncle Lin would treat his younger brother and sister-in-law well.

Originally thinking that his younger brother and his wife were lost accidentally, Lin Changde did not kill Uncle Lin's family.

Who would have thought that Lin's sister-in-law was given away by Uncle Lin.

No, they wanted to sell it, but they couldn't.

Treating his brother and sister-in-law as commodities, Lin Changde clenched his palms, gritted his teeth, and said angrily,

"Lin Xing, wait for me!"

Tears soaked Changde's eyes, and his sorrow became more and more intense.

He will never see the little girl who would softly call him "Brother" from behind again.

When Chang De learned the news, he would definitely go and retrieve his younger sister's remains and bury them in the Lin family's ancestral tomb so that Lin's younger sister could be reborn into a good life in the next life.

As for little brother Lin, he must find him and recognize him.

Now, there is only one person who knows the news about his younger brother, and that is Princess Zhaoming.

Thinking of this, Changde's eyes followed Shen Zhao with eager anticipation.

Shen Zhao: [Gua Gua, why is Chang De always looking at me?

Did I get caught staring at him just now? 】

Guagua: [Maybe Changde felt something when he was being talked about.

Don’t we often say, don’t talk about people behind their backs?

The person being spoken to will feel it.

Changde should be such a case.]

Chang De's heart skipped a beat when he heard Shen Zhao's words. Would it seem even weirder if he looked away now?

In order to avoid arousing Shen Zhao's suspicion, Chang De suppressed his pounding heart and subconsciously smiled.

Gua Gua's words made him relax a little. That's right, he felt that Princess Zhaoming was thinking about him.

Shen Zhao happened to see the smile on the eunuch Changde's face, and his body trembled strangely.

He said hurriedly, "Gua Gua, did you see Changde's smile?"

It was like a zombie's smile, stiff and weird.

Terrible, I wonder if he is secretly cursing me in his heart. 】

Gua Gua: [Host, don’t worry.

He is the chief eunuch beside Brother Yongning, and you are the niece of Emperor Yongning.

It's normal for me to react subconsciously when I see you.

Maybe the eunuch is usually quite serious, and you will feel that he is special when he smiles. 】

Shen Zhao felt that what Guagua said made sense, so he patted his chest and said,

[I was really scared just now. I dare not look up again. 】

Guagua said helplessly, [Host, Guagua from Changde, do you still want to listen? ]

Shen Zhao: [Hey, haven’t you finished yet?

I thought you had finished speaking, but I was still complaining about how brief your speech was, hahahaha]

Chang De's eyes quickly glanced upward at Shen Zhao, then quickly retracted their gaze.

He just grabbed the edge of his sleeves excitedly, with his ears perked up, not missing a single word.

Gua Gua: [Host, what I just said was just my opening remarks.

The news about Changde hasn’t really started yet.

Your ability to eat melons has been a little weak recently, which really hurts Guagua's feelings. 】

Shen Zhao didn't know where Guagua's desire to perform came from recently, so he could only comfort him,

[GuaGua, you are the best melon-eating system.

I was just testing you. If your melons become less attractive, I will criticize you.

However, I was right about you. Guagua's business ability is as good as ever. 】

After all the flattery, Guagua's face turned red with embarrassment.

It twisted its body and said happily,

[Host, let’s talk about Brother Lin again.]

The couple took Lin Xiaodi to seek refuge with their relatives, but were robbed by bandits on the way.

The three men were all weak and had no choice but to admit defeat when facing the bandits.

Both husband and wife were killed by bandits, but when it came to Lin Xiaodi, the bandits did not kill him.

The bandit leader brought Lin Xiaodi back to the village because he wanted Lin Xiaodi to be his son-in-law.

Shen Zhao: [Son-in-law who lives with the family?

Brother Lin was less than ten years old at that time, right? 】
