"Okay! Even you look down on me, don't you!" Zhu Changzai was so angry that he directly pinched Linglong's arm.

The pain was so painful that Linglong groaned, but she didn't dare to cry. It was unlucky to cry in the palace. Otherwise, she would be beaten, and she would have to take off her clothes and be beaten. She couldn't afford to lose face!

"Master! Master, there is no slave, no!" Linglong begged for mercy.

"You still said no! Then who are you showing this look to?" Zhu Changzai said angrily. She could clearly see Linglong's expression just now.

"I was just thinking about the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were angry just now, but... but I came up with an idea!" Linglong covered her arms and grinned.

"What's your idea?" Zhu Chang put away his hand at this moment, and Linglong rubbed her arm. Needless to say, it must have turned purple again.

"Speak quickly!" Zhu Changzai urged.

Linglong said hurriedly, "This matter was decided by Concubine Shu and she was the one who took the initiative. Why don't you, master, talk to Concubine Shu and ask her to help us."

Zhu Changzai shook his head, "It's not easy to give me the opportunity. Now that I'm going to tell people that we can't even get a dance costume, the lady must think that we are incompetent. What if this opportunity is given to someone else... Isn’t it a loss?”

"Then what should we do? No one is helping us!" Linglong said with a sad face.

Zhu Changzai walked to his dressing table and opened the jewelry box. Except for two sets of jewelry that needed to be used for show, it was empty.

Zhu Changzai sighed, "I remember that when I entered the palace, I also brought this box full of gold and silver jewelry. How could I have never imagined that I would be so poor in just a few years. This is said to be the Forbidden City. It’s a good place, rich in gold and silver, who knew there would be someone like me, living like this!”

Linglong didn't dare to speak.

"What if my parents knew about it? Maybe they would regret spending so much money and recommend me to the palace!"

Linglong looked at Zhu Changzai and couldn't help but said, "Master, stop talking, be careful, the walls have ears!"

Zhu Changzai sneered, "What can I do if I hear that I am hungry? Can it be worse? How much more miserable can the life in the cold palace be than this?"

"This..." Linglong didn't know what to say, so she could only ask, "Master, why don't we go ask others, in case someone can help!"

"Begging? I will never beg for help again!" Zhu Changzai slapped his hand on the table angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to exchange things!"

"Exchange?" Linglong asked, "Little Master, what else can we exchange for! We have nothing valuable left!"

"Nothing else, but there is something special!" Zhu Changzai gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Use autumn clothes, winter charcoal fire, no matter what, as long as they agree, we will change! But the dance clothes must be It’s exquisite and the materials used must be decided by me!”

"That's not possible, little master!" Linglong said anxiously, "We can just use the thick clothes in autumn ourselves, but if there is no charcoal fire in winter, wouldn't we be frozen to death?"

"If you can't get the emperor to notice me this time, do you think we have any hope of living? Sooner or later, we will either freeze to death or starve to death! Now we have nothing, and we will have no money to exchange for things in the future. Isn't it the same?" Zhu Chang Zai sneered three times, "You're going to die sooner or later, so why not just fight to the death! If you turn over, everyone will be happy!"

"Then... what if..." Linglong swallowed back the words she was about to blurt out, for fear that Zhu Changzai would be angry and hit someone.

But Zhu Changzai was not only not angry, but also said, "If it still doesn't work, then I will die! Just go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and find a good master to serve you!"

"Little Master..." Linglong said worriedly.

Zhu Changzai said harshly, "Put away your face and think about how to succeed! Is it possible that you don't want to be the powerful eldest aunt?"

"My slave, I want to!" Linglong said without hesitation.

"Then let's work hard together!" Zhu Changzai held Linglong's arm tightly, "Remember it in your heart! We must make it! We must make it! Remember it!"

"Yes! Yes!" Linglong shrank her neck and muttered, "It must happen! It must happen! It will happen!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Linglong came to the House of Internal Affairs and told the manager what Zhu Changzai meant. The manager was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Is this really what Zhu Changzai meant?"

"Of course that's what our little master means," Linglong said, "This slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

"You little master are really good. You can tell me all this without fear of freezing to death in the winter!" the manager said without hesitation.

"Our young master has his own opinion. Just tell us whether it is ok. If it is ok, send a tailor and come back with me to measure the size of the little master." Linglong said, "Our little master said, this fabric and You have to listen to what she says about the style."

"Needless to say, no!" the butler said bluntly.

"What? Why not?" Linglong asked, "There are a lot of charcoal fires in this winter. It is absolutely suitable to change into a dance dress!"

"This is not something appropriate or inappropriate. This thing belongs to the Za family. We are not here to do business with you!" The eunuch in charge looked at Linglong and said slowly with ridicule, "If this is nothing else, if it is true If someone freezes to death, how will the Zajia family explain it? Besides, your master has a good idea of exchanging the things of the future for the things of the present! Don’t even think about it!"

"Father-in-law! Please help me here! Our master really has no choice, otherwise who would..."

"Don't say it's useless. You won't know what will happen in the winter! Who are you trying to make trouble with?" the steward father-in-law said mercilessly.

"It won't have to wait until winter!" Suddenly Zhu Changzai's voice came from behind. It was Zhu Changzai who came in person. The steward gave a brief salute and said, "Good luck, little master!"

"Eunuch Chen, there is no need to wait until winter," Zhu Changzai walked up to the father-in-law in charge and said, "Next month, if I succeed, I will naturally not forget your father-in-law's great kindness. By then, your father-in-law's affairs will be my business. As long as I succeed, I can do it, just ask!"

"What can you do?" the steward asked directly.

"How about moving you up a level?" Zhu Changzai said, "You must have been waiting for the position of director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time!"

The steward looked into Zhu Changzai's eyes and said, "That's good, I'd like to thank you in advance, but I still have to ask, what if you didn't succeed? Then wouldn't I..."

"I bet my life! If it doesn't work out, I won't live anymore," Zhu Chang said word for word, "I once heard a saying, I don't know if my father-in-law has heard of it, it is called wealth and honor in danger, you Ever heard of it?”
