However, Eunuch Hou was completely unaware.

"Eunuch Zhao, please come in."

A young eunuch with a fair complexion and no beard walked in with practiced, small steps.

As soon as he reached Li Chang'an, he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"This servant, Zhao Gao, greets Your Highness, Prince Yong!"

Eunuch Hou nodded in satisfaction. "Eunuch Zhao is truly sensible."

Then, he turned to Li Chang'an and grinned again.

“Your Highness Prince Yong, this is a guard specially selected by Eunuch Hong at His Majesty’s request.”

"He is not old, but he has already reached the seventh rank."

Li Chang'an looked at Zhao Gao's panel, which clearly stated "Rank 9, Upper"!

Name: Zhao Gao

Age: 32

Realm: Upper Ninth Rank

Talents: Intelligence (Rank 9), Management (Rank 8), Political Strategy (Rank 5), Martial Arts (Rank 7)

Abilities: Espionage (Rank 9), Management (Rank 8), Political Maneuvering (Rank 6), Tracking (Rank 6), Disguise (Rank 6), Assassination (Rank 6), Poisoning (Rank 6)...

Emotional level: 100 (Die-hard fan)

As expected, Zhao Gao, whom Li Chang'an had summoned, appeared before him.

Zhao Gao was concealing his cultivation level, after all, a ninth-rank cultivator was far too conspicuous.

Zhao Gao, summoned by the shop, possesses top-notch intelligence capabilities.

He possesses a full range of assassin and spy skills, including tracking, disguise, assassination, and poison techniques, all at the sixth rank.

After all, he doesn't have to do everything himself, and without talent, reaching the sixth rank is the limit.

This is a master espionage expert with both extensive practical experience and a wealth of knowledge!

With Zhao Gao in hand, we can begin to secretly lay the trap!

Chapter 13 Hong Zhu becomes Zhao Gao's apprentice! Xi Ren and Qing Wen!

After Eunuch Hou left, Liu Shuyan began to assign tasks to the eunuchs and palace maids.

At this moment, Li Chang'an said, "Mother, let me choose first!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuyan pinched Li Chang'an's ear.

"He's only just been made a king, and he's already calling himself 'King'!"

"What are you showing off in front of your mother for!"

Li Chang'an chuckled, "I'm afraid my mother is even more pleased than I am!"

Liu Shuyan covered her mouth and smiled, then touched her son's face.

"My son is amazing, he knows everything."

"If you want to choose, then choose first."

Under Li Chang'an's discerning eye, the talents and abilities of the palace maids and eunuchs were on full display.

Those two most beautiful twin sisters actually have a very high talent for martial arts!

Name: Qi Yun

Age: 8 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Swordsmanship (Ninth Rank), Musical Composition (Sixth Rank)

Ability: Singing (Grade 5)

Emotion: 50

Good heavens! A singer!

Could this little girl have been sold to a brothel and forced to learn a skill?

The emotion value was originally 20, but after being stared at by Li Chang'an for a while, it increased to 30.

If she hadn't been bought by someone sent by Emperor Qing, she would have been trained to be a courtesan.

Her twin sister has similar talents, both having reached the highest level in swordsmanship.

Name: Qi Ping

Age: 8 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Kendo (Ninth Rank), Vocal Performance (Sixth Rank)

Ability: Playing the flute (rank 5)

Emotion: 50

The two little girls were so cute that Liu Shuyan couldn't help but take a second look.

Li Chang'an sat in the chair, looking like a little adult.

"You two, come here!"

Although the two girls were young, they had a very dignified demeanor.

Li Chang'an said, "I am destined to have you all, so I will bestow names upon you."

The two reacted differently; one showed delight, while the other was slightly shy.

Li Chang'an said, "The shy young lady is called Xiren."

"The one grinning like an idiot is called Qingwen."

The more lively girl quickly suppressed her smile upon hearing this.

These two women clearly hadn't undergone rigorous training as palace maids; they were rather casual.

Qingwen's smile confirmed Li Chang'an's suspicions.

This is Emperor Qing's honey trap!

Qingwen asked, "This servant would like to ask Your Highness, do these two names have any origin?"

Li Chang'an casually said, "The fragrance of flowers tells of the sudden warmth, and the magpie's call through the trees brings joy for the new clear weather."

Both girls have some talent and have studied poetry and songs.

The poems that Li Chang'an casually copied down left the two maids with lingering feelings of admiration.

"What a beautiful poem..."

"Your Highness is indeed a man of exceptional literary talent!"

He chose these two names, naturally, to create the persona of Jia Baoyu.

Xi Ren and Qing Wen were the personal maids of the extremely spoiled and good-for-nothing Jia Baoyu.

Li Chang'an's Xiren and Qingwen can also practice martial arts in the future.

When Li Chang'an gets a little older, he will be able to copy Dream of the Red Chamber.

When this divine book is published, Emperor Qing will surely think it is Li Chang'an's autobiography.

Otherwise, the names in the book would be the same as those of the maids around her.

With that in mind, Li Chang'an decided to make the act more convincing.

He wandered among the palace maids for a long time, among whom were several with negative emotional values.

They were probably spies sent by other concubines or Emperor Qing.

Li Chang'an selected ten more women from among the regular palace maids.

These girls were all eleven or twelve years old.

This is the normal age for palace maids to enter the palace!

However, their talents were average, and they never possessed the same level of talent as Xiren and Qingwen.

Li Chang'an named them Daiyu, Baochai, Tanchun, and so on.

"From now on, you twelve will be my maids, collectively known as the Twelve Beauties!"

"Although Xiren and Qingwen are young, I like them, so they can be my head maids."

The advantage of having a system is that you can see changes in people's favorability towards you.

There's no need for roundabout probing anymore; it's easy to see through someone's character.

After Li Chang'an finished speaking, Xi Ren and Qing Wen thanked him in unison, their emotions rising to 70.
