Xiao Xizi had been on tenterhooks these days, fearing that Queen Mother Zhou would get angry and give her a slap in the face.
So he really hoped to have a chance to perform meritoriously, but Mo Chuan never gave him this chance.
Finally, he saw a faint smile on the emperor's face today, which surprised and delighted him, and he quickly seized this opportunity to test a few words.
Although he could not see what was written on the piece of paper, he knew that the piece of paper was personally delivered by the emperor's secret guard and then delivered directly to the emperor's hands.
The emperor read it again and again, no matter how many times he read it.
And it was precisely because of reading the contents of this piece of paper that the emperor became in a good mood.
"Well, it is indeed a happy thing."
Mo Chuan was originally taciturn. Ever since Xiao Si left the palace, he rarely spoke. Except in the court, after returning to the harem, he was almost silent.
He didn't pay much attention to the little eunuch named Xiao Xizi who was sent to him.
But at this time, he was in a good mood and wanted to share it with others, so he actually answered Xiao Xizi's words.
Xiao Xizi was overjoyed. He was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the emperor to actually talk to him.
He was so excited that the teapot in his hand became unsteady and fell straight to the ground.
"Ayo!"
Xiao Xizi exclaimed, her face turned pale, and she saw that the teapot was about to fall to the blue brick floor and shatter into pieces.
Breaking things was a taboo for being a eunuch, and Xiao Xizi's heart dropped.
At this moment, a slender hand stretched out and firmly caught the teapot.
"Hold it, but don't drop it again."
Mochuan smiled and put the teapot in Xiao Xizi's hand, then carefully put the thin piece of paper into his arms, stood up, walked to the open south window, and took a deep breath.
What a relief!
Xiao Xizi held the teapot and stared blankly at Mo Chuan's back.
He has not recovered from the shock just now.
He had long heard that the emperor knew martial arts, but it was only then that he saw the emperor's skills with his own eyes.
Just when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from outside the royal study, followed by the sound of weapons clashing, as if someone had broken in.
Xiao Xizi trembled, then came to her senses immediately, put the teapot in her hand on the table, ran over and opened the door.
"What happened?"
A guard hurried over and said with a panic expression: "Go and report back to the Emperor quickly. Princess Anle has barged into the palace to ask for an audience. The subordinates cannot stop her and are almost reaching the imperial study room."
Princess Anle
Xiao Xizi shuddered violently.
Although he works in the imperial kitchen, he has heard of Princess Anle, but he has a low status and has never met Princess Anle.
Princess Anle is the biological daughter of Empress Dowager Zhou, but she has a fiery temperament and likes to wear men's clothing. Even her temperament is as strong and tough as a man's.
She will take action on people or things she dislikes, regardless of who they are, whether they are civilians or high-ranking officials. They are all the same in her eyes.
Therefore, people inside and outside the palace will feel scared when they mention Princess Anle, for fear of accidentally offending the princess.
Fortunately, the eldest princess finally married a happy man.
After she got married, her personality became much more restrained than before, and she no longer went in and out of the palace as before, which made people in the palace feel relieved.
