The female historian was responsible for tidying up the books in the Wenhua Hall and the Profound Language Pavilion.
It was just like the librarian in the library. If a reader messed up a book, left it on the table after reading it, or broke a book, they would be the ones to tidy it up.
Xia Jian sat at the table and read a book. He liked this kind of silence very much.
The female historian stood in the distance, glancing at Xia Jian from time to time. For some reason, when the back of his hand was gently rubbed by the legendary ceremonial eunuch, his heart was stirred.
She knew that eunuchs were neither male nor female, and it was precisely because of this that she found it unbelievable.
The female historian's gaze was fixed on Xia Jian, who was reading a book. When Xia Jian helped her up just now, he actually did not have any resistance in his heart.
Coincidentally, Xia Jian was different from other eunuchs. Not only did he not have the smell of eunuch urine, but he also had the fragrance of roses.
One had to know that eunuchs couldn't control themselves because they didn't have that thing and couldn't feel the urge to pee.
Simply put, he couldn't hold his pee!
Many eunuchs had wet pants. Coupled with their busy work during the day, they were too lazy to change after their bodies dried.
After a long time, many eunuchs had a disgusting smell of urine.
Xia Jian was no longer a eunuch, so he naturally did not have the smell of urine on him. In addition, he would go to the Purple Smoke Palace every few days to make love with Ning Yun, so he carried the body fragrance of the palace maid Ning Yun.
In the following half a month, Xia Jian would come to the Profound Language Pavilion every one or two days. After a while, he became familiar with the female historian who was in charge of the Profound Language Pavilion.
Her name was Li Tangmei, and she was from the Yao tribe. She entered the palace last year and was only nineteen years old this year.
Tang Mei spoke with a slight accent. Her pronunciation wasn't standard, but she could still understand.
In this era, it was really troublesome that Mandarin was not widespread.
After the two of them got to know each other, they no longer felt restrained when chatting.
The original intention of building the Hall of Cultural Splendor was to make it convenient for the Crown Prince to read widely, but Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty currently had no children. Even if he did, he had been killed by Imperial Concubine Wan. Therefore, very few people came to the Profound Language Pavilion. It was very quiet every day. Other than Li Tangmei, only books could accompany her.
Li Tangmei liked to chat with Xia Jian, and she liked listening to him tell all kinds of strange stories.
Especially Zhu Xian two days ago, Li Tangmei couldn't stop listening. She wanted to sleep and even pulled Xia Jian to tell her about it.
"Eunuch Xia, why did Zhu Xian end up like this? Did the witch die in the end? Who did Xiaofan end up with? Aiya, why didn't you explain the ending clearly?”
" It's just a story," Xia Jian said with a smile." If you insist on telling the ending of the story, it'll be meaningless." Don't you think that it's better to leave an imagined ending than to explain everything clearly?”
"Then tell me, why did the Liang Zhu that you told me about turn into a butterfly and fly in the end?”
Uh... Forget it, arguing with a woman about these things was just looking for trouble!
Xia Jian smiled and shook his head. He didn't say anything else and continued reading.
In the past two days, Tang Mei was like a little girl who liked to listen to stories.
In Xia Jian's eyes, a nineteen-year-old could be considered a girl. The main thing was that Li Tangmei looked too innocent and did not have any schemes.
In the evening, Xia Jian followed the usual practice and handed over the important memorials that the ceremonial supervisor had sorted out to Emperor Chenghua.
These memorials were sent up step by step from below and then sorted out by the ceremonial supervisor before finally being submitted to the emperor for review. Among them, many things were put on hold and the emperor could not see them.
For example, the vote of the cabinet was to let the cabinet write down suggestions to tell the Emperor how to deal with such books. However, the memorials had to go through the cabinet before they could be sent to the emperor. If the cabinet had withheld important memorials in the middle, who would know?
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were lazier than the last. They lost because most of them were unwilling to be diligent in their work. The emperor would only randomly pick a few memorials that had been voted by the cabinet and approve them. The rest were handed over to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor to approve the red. After the red was approved, it would be sent to the emperor for review. It was just a procedure.
Ming Xianzong was not considered diligent, but he still followed the daily procedures.
Emperor Cheng casually flipped through a few memorials before putting them down. He praised Xia Jian with some relief.
"Little Xia Zi, ever since I made you the Seal Eunuch of the Rites Supervisor, my job as the Emperor has become easier and easier.”
What Emperor Chenghua said was true. After Xia Jiancheng became the official seal eunuch, he had never disturbed the Emperor. He had always been approved by the official seal eunuch.
If it involved some corrupt impeachment memorials, Xia Jian would stop them.
Why did Xia Jian stop these memorials? Of course, he would rely on these memorials to collect fees!
What fee? Protection fee. If you don't pay, then you'll be ransacked!
Regardless of whether the impeachment memorial was real or fake, Xia Jian would not let them go if they did not cough up some gold and silver treasures.
The bolder a person was, the more fun they lived!
"It is my job to help His Majesty solve problems.”Xia Jian said.
The Emperor laughed and said,""How about this, from tomorrow onwards, you will be the official seal eunuch of the ceremonial director.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, the palace suddenly fell into chaos. Someone shouted.
"Assassins! Protect the Empress!"
Wan Zhen 'er rushed in. She didn't know what was going on, but a few men in black rushed in, followed by the Jinyiwei.
Judging from the current situation, the men in black were undoubtedly assassins, but why did these assassins want to kill Wan Zhen 'er?
"Your Majesty, save this concubine!" Wan Zhen 'er ran towards the Transformation Monarch in panic. After all, there were seven or eight men in black chasing after her.
At this time, a figure appeared out of nowhere. Xia Jian took a closer look and realized that it was the Commander of the Brocade Guard, Wan Tong!
Wan Tong brought his men and wanted to stop the assassin. However, with Wan Tong's mediocre martial arts, he was knocked to the ground by the assassin in two moves, unable to move.
How dare he be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards? Without these two skills, what kind of porcelain work would he do?
The assassin approached step by step. At this time, Noble Consort Wan had already fallen into the Emperor's arms. The assassin rushed over with a long sword.
Their goal was not Imperial Concubine Wan, but to become the Transformation Emperor!
Seeing that the assassin was about to stab the Emperor's throat, Xia Jian squeezed his fingertips and released a sharp sword qi in a moment of desperation.
Xia Jian used the Six Pulses Divine Sword-Disorder Conquering Sword Technique, and his Strength attribute dropped by 10 points!
Xia Jian didn't dare to use the Disorder Conquering Sword Aura unless it was a critical moment. Every time he used it, he would consume 10 points of Strength.
Xia Jian's Strength attribute was only 28 points, and he could only use Sword Aura twice a day!
The sword Qi cut through iron like mud and hit the assassin who wanted to kill the Transformation Monarch, directly piercing through his body.
Seeing Xia Jian attack, Transformation Monarch Cheng realized that the eunuch who had saved his life a few days ago was a hidden expert.
"Eunuch Xiao Xia, protect me, save me, save me!”
