Autumn.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were busy. Every day before dawn, they had to clean up the fallen leaves on the ground. However, in autumn, more and more leaves fell.
The eunuch in the lead frowned and shouted in a sharp voice, "Hurry up if you don;t want to lose your head."
"His Majesty is going to court soon. Look at the ground. There are leaves everywhere. His Majesty doesn't like fallen leaves. Hurry up and clean this place up. Hurry up."
The old eunuch looked at the fallen leaves and panicked. Seeing that the sky was brightening bit by bit, the old eunuch was so anxious that he was about to have a heart attack.
The palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to make a sound. They quickly picked up the leaves, their faces covered in sweat.
A young eunuch complained, "The wind last night was too strong. Almost all the leaves on the trees fell off overnight. Even if we have ten hands, we won't be able to pick them all."
