"Hehe, when you are working as an errand around the emperor, you always want to make the emperor happy. You are always crying and sad. Can the emperor feel happy after seeing you?" Eunuch Kang asked again.
"Yes, yes, Eunuch Kang's teachings are correct. From now on, Xiaosi should ask Eunuch Kang for advice."
"It's not necessary to ask for advice. It's just that we are rarely in a good mood, so I'll teach you, this little monkey, to be good." Eunuch Kang showed a proud look on his face, and then disappeared, "When you meet the Queen Mother, you must answer her words well. , Don’t be so cunning in front of the Queen Mother, you know? Otherwise, the Queen Mother will be annoyed, so don’t blame us for not warning you in advance.”
Although the little four are young, they have grown up in the palace. He is most familiar with the tone and tone of Eunuch Kang's speech, and he also knows the meaning of these words very well.
On the surface, Eunuch Kang seemed to be doing his best, and all he said was to care for him, but it was Pi Liyangqiu who was reminding him not to lie, otherwise the consequences would be... Hehe!
"Yes, yes, Xiaosi, thank you Eunuch Kang for the advice."
Xiao Si promised, but secretly cursed in his heart: Old fox! So cunning and slippery!
If I could tell the truth, meeting the Queen Mother would be like a mouse meeting a cat.
"Slave Xiaosi, please pay your respects to the Queen Mother."
As soon as Xiao Si entered the door, he saw Queen Mother Zhou leaning on the couch, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
Sujin gently rubbed her forehead behind her, and when she saw Xiao Si coming in, she gave him a meaningful look.
Xiao Si's heart trembled, knowing that there was warning in that glance, but also concern.
He thought to himself that Aunt Sujin would be better, unlike that eccentric Eunuch Kang, who said one thing and said another behind his back.
Even though Queen Mother Zhou seemed to be asleep, since she sent Eunuch Kang to come to her specifically and was just waiting for her reply, how could she really be asleep
But since the Queen Mother Zhou was pretending to sleep, he could only pretend not to know, kneeling on the ground and waiting for when the Queen Mother Zhou would "wake up".
The room was quiet except for the faint fragrance from a furnace of incense placed in the corner. Smelling it for a long time would make people drowsy.
Xiao Si knelt until his knees were numb, and his eyelids were fighting. Then Queen Mother Zhou seemed to wake up from a dream and stretched.
"Is the Ai family asleep? Where is Xiaosi? Why hasn't he come yet?"
She seemed not to have seen Xiaosi kneeling below at all.
Su Jin hurriedly said: "If I go back to the Queen Mother, Xiaosi has been here a long time ago and has been kneeling there waiting for the Queen Mother for a long time."
"Really?" Queen Mother Zhou asked calmly.
Xiaosi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his throat was so dry from nervousness that he could hardly speak.
He kowtowed heavily, his forehead touching the cold blue brick surface.
"Minion, minion, Xiaosi, I would like to pay my respects to the Queen Mother." He said again, with a slight trembling voice.
Butt, oh butt, it looks like you are going to have bad luck with me again today.
I didn’t know that the Queen Mother would treat you to fried pork with bamboo shoots? Or meat on bamboo boards
No matter what it was, there was no escaping this beating.
"Xiao Si, why did the Yi family call you here? I don't need to say more about it, right?"
Queen Mother Zhou took the cup of hot tea handed over by Su Jin and took a slow sip without even looking at Xiao Si kneeling below.
Xiaosi didn't dare to raise his head, and he could feel the suppressed anger in Queen Mother Zhou's heart, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
