Chapter 137 Fish on the Chopping Board

When he walked out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he saw a blue sedan parked outside the door.

Sheng Jing'an's expression was uncontrollably gloomy, and the anger of being humiliated accumulated in his lungs, making him almost unable to maintain the expression on his face.

"Mr. Sheng." Meng Zhou stepped forward and bowed, smiling and said, "Congratulations on being the first to enter the palace to serve His Majesty. You will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Sheng Jing'an froze and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, shall we enter the palace now?"

Meng Zhou nodded: "Mr. Sheng, please."

Sheng Jing'an took a deep breath and had to take a stiff step towards the exquisite and small but humiliating blue sedan.

This is clearly a sedan used by powerful families to pick up concubines. Didn't Yan Donghuang use it on him just to humiliate him?

For the Sheng family, he can endure everything.

But Yan Donghuang had better not regret it in the future.

Two palace maids stood beside the sedan and lifted the curtain for him.

Sheng Jing'an had an extremely ugly smile on his face. He bowed and walked into the sedan chair and sat down. When the curtain of the sedan chair was lowered, his face suddenly became gloomy and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Lift the sedan chair!" Meng Zhou shouted, "Return to the palace!"

The sedan chair was lifted up and turned to the direction of the palace.

There were four eunuchs lifting the sedan chair, four palace maids in front of the sedan chair, and four palace maids in the back.

In addition to Meng Zhou, there were only twelve people.

Such a shabby and simple scene clearly showed that Sheng Jing'an was despised to the extreme.

Sheng Jing'an swore that he would definitely get back the humiliation of today, and sooner or later, he would let Yan Donghuang taste the taste of being humiliated like this.

...

After entering the palace, he had to be searched first to ensure that he would not bring any sharp weapons into the palace.

The palace prepared by Meng Zhou for him was not far from Chongming Palace, but Chongming Palace was considered the front palace, and the left and right doors were guarded by guards.

Without Yan Donghuang's summons or permission, he could not see her at all.

After settling down, Meng Zhou transferred a senior eunuch named Wang Dehai to teach him the rules. Wang Dehai brought four young eunuchs with him.

These eunuchs were all very skilled. On the first day, they stripped Sheng Jingan naked, threw him into the water and rinsed him clean, and even shaved off all the annoying hair on his body.

Sheng Jingan obviously did not expect to face such humiliation. He was so angry that his face turned blue and he wanted to drive out all the eunuchs who served him.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

"You are so insolent! So insolent!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, pushing away the people who were close to him desperately, "I am His Majesty's man, how could His Majesty allow you to humiliate me like this?"

"Master Sheng." The middle-aged eunuch Wang Dehai bowed to appease him, "This is the procedure for serving His Majesty, it is not that I want to humiliate you, please cooperate, Master Sheng."

"Does Your Majesty know about this?"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the affairs of the court are busy, how can he have time to care about such trivial matters?" Wang Dehai smiled, "But as eunuchs in the inner court, we servants must always do everything well, so as not to let His Majesty see something ugly and get angry. Then not only will I suffer, but you, Master Sheng, will also have a hard time."

Sheng Jing'an's face was livid.

He knew that his situation would not be very good after entering the palace.

Although he was the legitimate son of the Duke's family and had a noble family background, the person in charge of the palace was the emperor. Yan Donghuang did not even give him a status, but only made him a male favorite without a name or status. It was obvious that he wanted to torture and humiliate him.

How could these eunuchs who flattered the powerful and trampled on the weak take him seriously?

But he did not expect that the way they humiliated him was so... so perverted.

Sheng Jingan gritted his teeth: "I want to see His Majesty!"

Wang Dehai shook his head: "Unless His Majesty summons him, Master Sheng cannot see His Majesty."

Sheng Jingan said coldly: "I want to see His Majesty! Unless His Majesty allows you to do so, I will--"

Wang Dehai was too lazy to listen to him: "Cleaning Master Sheng's body."

"Yes."

Four young eunuchs rushed forward and easily restrained Sheng Jingan, making Sheng Jingan so angry that he yelled: "Let me go! Let me go, I will never accept this humiliation. You eunuchs are so bold. If His Majesty knows, she will never forgive you! Let me go, let me go--"

"This old slave advises Master Sheng to cooperate a little." Wang Dehai's voice was cold, "You can only serve His Majesty if you are in good health without defects. If you move around like this, it will be bad if the servants hurt you."

When Sheng Jingan heard this, he realized that he could not resist, and finally gave up struggling in despair.

He felt like a fish lying on a chopping board, being gutted, fried, and waiting for the master to enjoy it.

Or even after careful processing, the master might not have an appetite.

He could only curse these eunuchs for their perverted methods in his heart, and even more curse Yan Donghuang for his coldness and ruthlessness.

Yan Donghuang didn't know what happened in the harem.

She only knew that after the emperor's selection was over, the eunuchs in the harem would teach the new concubines some rules and etiquette.

Teach them how to serve the emperor and teach them all kinds of palace rules and etiquette.

Sheng Jingan couldn't avoid this when he entered the palace.

As a man, he should naturally be able to bear the rules that the concubines could bear in the past.

Besides, the court was busy with affairs, and she had no time to care about what Sheng Jingan had suffered.

...

It was the sixth day of February in a blink of an eye.

The women's examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites officially began.

Qi Fangfei went out of the palace to the examination room. Yuan Ziying, as the empress's personal doctor, was obviously very curious about the women's examination and couldn't help but want to join in the fun.

Yan Donghuang agreed.

So Yuan Ziying followed Qi Fangfei out of the palace.

Arriving at the examination room, the women were queuing outside waiting for inspection.

Yuan Ziying stood outside the examination room and heard someone whispering next to her: "Although I can't enter the harem of Her Majesty, she still has several generals under her command. I heard that they are all handsome. If you can be selected to be a companion in the palace, you will be able to get the moon first in the future. Can you marry the generals?"

"Didn't the princess of Prince Rong's Mansion fall in love with General Xie?" Another woman lowered her voice, "I heard that General Xie was invited to Prince Rong's Mansion today."

Yuan Ziying frowned. Xie Yunjian went to Prince Rong's Mansion?

Is he taking a day off today?

She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and turned to walk towards Prince Rong's Mansion.
