10 Chapter 10: The Palace eunuchs 1 (1/2)
At the side, Tang Mei would feel fear everytime her master would bring up the emperor.
Was it really alright like this? Why does it feel that she should stop her majesty?
At the same time, Xiao Yuan Xi has long been lost on what's happening.
”Ah Yuan what do you think of our imperial guards?” Wei Yi Yi with shining eyes interrogate her prey.
”Replying to your majesty, the imperial guards' loyalty to the emperial household is commendable and worthy of great honors.”
'Also this kind of speach is not proper empress!'
Xiao Yuan Xi wanted to shout his inner thoughts but as a servant, he have no grounds to reprimand his mistress.
”Are you friends with them?”
Such boring answer! She must dug dipper ah!
”This servant is a servant of the inner palace. How could this one have anything to do with them?”
The young eunuch is slowly feeling uneasy with the empress questioning. Was she doubting something? Truely, it is hard to know your mistress thoughts.
”Then how about the emperor?”
Male consorts are an ok! How about she pick one for boss to borden his horizons?
”I'm your majesty's servant. I'm only loyal to you empress!”
To Wei Yi Yi shock, Xiao Yuan Xi knee on the ground with a 'bang'. Looking like an abused puppy.
The empress try to eye him to indicate how she's not a bad master but for the young eunuch it's the mistress trying to see if he was lying.
He swear to all the gods he know that he's not a spy for the emperor. He's definitely not here to monitor her majesty!
Later, Xiao Yuan Xi will witness how his mistress act like she's trying to marry him off. Only then that he would think back at this conversation and faint at the discovery. That's a story for laters though.
As of now, kneeling under the glaring sun, the eunuch that are responsible for the other palaces and courtyards are anxiously waiting for Wei Yi Yi.
”Xiao Yuan Xi,” feeling that it was the right time now, Wei Yi Yi's voice turn solemn.”Go and bring what bengong told you to prepare.”
The eunuch bow on acknowledgement before heading of to his task.
The people who live on ancient times really know how to kneel, ah.
