Chapter 399 Don't Spare Him

"Why is it such a mess outside? Could it be..." the person who spoke unconsciously lowered his voice, "someone is forcing the emperor to abdicate again?"

The national mourning has just ended and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne. Perhaps there will be some short-sighted people who will follow the example of the previous King of Qi and force the emperor to abdicate.

"It doesn't seem like it. I heard he was looking for someone."

Xiao Dongzi grabbed Xixi's little hand and secretly poked his head out from the corner of the wall.

When Xiao Dongzi found out that his master was not looking for him, but was talking to someone in the imperial kitchen, he turned around, pulled Xixi, made a "hush" gesture, and quietly slipped past the wall.

Xixi was very quiet from beginning to end, so Xiaodongzi thought that if there was a future, he could often bring Xixi to the imperial kitchen to improve the meals.

The imperial kitchen is very large, but Dan Xiaodongzi knows the route very well.

There were many people in the imperial kitchen, and hiding was useless, so when someone saw Xiao Dongzi holding a little girl, they all asked who she was.

"Didn't the empress bring in some three or four-year-old maids from outside the palace the other day? She is one of them."

Xiao Dongzi did not lie. Before, Concubine De said that she wanted to find a young girl to accompany her in chanting sutras; Concubine Gui said that she wanted young girls to add popularity to the palace; other concubines followed suit, so that there were many young palace maids of the same age as Xixi in the palace.

After Xiao Dongzi finished perfunctorily dealing with the people he knew, he took Xixi to the kitchen and said, "Now that the late emperor has passed away, the concubines must also move out of the palace."

"After dinner, you will squat at the door. If someone from your palace comes, you will follow her. Otherwise, if the lady you follow leaves the palace, you will have no one to rely on."

"But of course. Who asked you to recognize me as your brother? If all else fails, I'll go and beg my master to keep you in the imperial kitchen. My master is the eunuch in charge of food, and he almost got into the inner imperial kitchen."

While Xiao Dongzi was talking, Xixi's eyes were fixed on the crystal shrimp dumplings on the table not far away. She was hungry.

"Want to eat?"

Xiao Dongzi asked when he saw Xixi staring at the shrimp dumplings.

"Um."

Xiao Dongzi glanced around, pointed at the table under the kitchen and said to Xixi, "Go in and wait, I'll get it for you!"

"good."

Xixi looked around like Xiaodongzi, and when she found that there was no one around, she quickly stepped under the table with her short legs.

After Xixi went in, Xiao Dongzi pretended nothing had happened and walked towards the shrimp dumplings.

I don't know what happened today. When I walked towards the kitchen, there was someone there, but now, except for him, the eunuch in charge of food and the eunuchs in charge of errands are not in the entire kitchen.

What's going on?

Xiao Dongzi simply stopped thinking about it because he couldn't figure it out. The roasted rabbit he had eaten last night had been digested long ago. He had to hurry and steal a meal, otherwise he would be so busy that he wouldn't be able to eat all day.

Xiao Dongzi first took the crystal shrimp dumplings that Xixi wanted to eat. After stuffing two into his mouth, he handed the rest to Xixi under the table.

If anyone asked, he would say it was stolen.

Anyway, things have been missing from the kitchen recently.

In addition, Xiao Dongzi also poured Xixi a bowl of jade emerald soup to eat with shrimp dumplings.

While Xixi was eating under the table, Xiaodongzi was not idle either. He was making egg yolk buns, fresh bamboo shoots and meat buns, and red date cakes.

Whatever Xiao Dongzi saw that he wanted to eat, he took one of each, and tried his best to fill his stomach without noticing any changes in the overall diet.

"Xiao Dongzi! Well, you dare to eat secretly!"

When Xiao Dongzi heard the voice, his body froze in place. He wanted to explain, but his mouth was full of stuff.

Just as he finally swallowed it and was about to explain, the man shouted outside: "Eunuch Liu, Xiao Dongzi stole breakfast!"

"Little Dongzi! I think you're itching again!"

When Xiao Dongzi heard Eunuch Liu's voice, his body froze instantly. He quickly wiped his mouth, glanced around, turned to the round-faced and round-bodied eunuch and said, "Eunuch Liu, I didn't do it. Xiao Tingzi framed me!"

Xiao Tingzi was two or three years older than Xiao Dongzi. When he heard Xiao Dongzi's rebuttal, he sneered, "You'll know if he's eaten it or not just by smelling it."

Xiaotingzi looked at the frozen Xiaodongzi with satisfaction, and said to the gloomy Eunuch Liu earnestly, "The things that were lost from our imperial kitchen must have been stolen by Xiaodongzi. Eunuch Liu, please don't let him off!"

Xiao Tingzi looked at Xiao Dongzi viciously with the corner of his mouth curled up. If you want to step on him to get to the top, you can dream on!

"Catch him!"

Eunuch Liu had just been beaten by the imperial guards, and when he came back he encountered such a bad thing.

If he let Xiao Dongzi off easily, who would be willing to listen to him in the imperial kitchen?

Eunuch Liu was a person in charge after all. As soon as he gave the order, Xiao Tingzi ran towards Xiao Dongzi first, and the young eunuchs who were watching the fun around him also rushed over with a smile.

They love to see others in trouble, especially those who are young and smart like Xiao Dongzi.

He deserves his bad luck!

No matter how clever Xiao Dongzi was, he was only a child of six or seven years old. At this moment, he was caught by several young eunuchs who were several years older than him and pressed on a bench. He felt that he would not be able to leave the imperial kitchen until he was skinned alive.

If young eunuchs like them were seriously injured, without a godfather waiting for them, they would basically be dead.

No one was willing to save them, including their own kind.

"stop!"

When Xixi crawled out from under the table, she was holding an empty plate in one hand and an empty bowl in the other.

She raised the plate of shrimp dumplings in her hand and shouted at the eunuch who was about to hit Xiao Dongzi with a stick, "Stop it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the plate away.

Unfortunately, the plate fell about one meter in front of Xixi.

Although the sound did not hit the little eunuch, it successfully attracted everyone's attention to Xixi.

"So there's an accomplice!" Xiaotingzi poked Xiaodongzi's face with a stick, "Great, you've already learned how to raise a good friend at such a young age!"

Xiao Dongzi struggled and shouted to Xiaotingzi, "That's my sister!"

"What sister? I think you are shameless. Hit..."

“Bang!”

Xixi really doesn't like the palace because no matter whether the people in the palace know her identity or not, they don't seem to care much about her opinion.

"How dare you! I told you to stop!"

Seeing that a little kid dared to yell at him, Xiaotingzi walked towards Xixi with a stick in his hand, "I think you're itching for trouble too!"

He had to kowtow to the eunuch, but he could crush such a little girl with just one finger.

Eunuch Liu looked at the delicate and tender Xixi and didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the pair of bright yellow shoes on Xixi's feet, his face suddenly turned pale.

Just as he stepped forward and was about to push the small pavilion open, the small pavilion suddenly burst into laughter.
