Xiao Xizi no longer remembers his original name. He vaguely remembers that his parents called him San'er when he was young.

When he was 7 years old, there was a flood in his hometown, and he was sent to the palace to serve as a eunuch. At the beginning, his life was very hard. He was bullied every day and had to do a lot of work. He was not strong enough and could not do most of the work, but he could only grit his teeth. One day, he was beaten by other eunuchs. He was only breathing his last breath at that time, and he thought he might die.

But he was lucky. When he was almost beaten to death, he was accidentally seen by the imperial concubine, who took pity on him. From then on, he escaped the fate of being bullied and came to Fengluan Palace to serve the fifth prince.

When he came, the fifth prince was still very young, only two years old. He was very naughty at first. When the fifth prince grew older and was three years old, he began to ask the imperial concubine for his father. He looked at the imperial concubine's distressed look and blamed himself for not being able to share the worries of the imperial concubine who saved him from the dire situation.

He had been here for more than a year and actually understood the location of Fengluan Palace. The emperor did not like Fengluan Palace, including the fifth prince.

But one day the fifth prince suddenly changed. Although he was still very naughty and even did more than before, he would think of the palace maids and eunuchs whenever he had something to do. Xiao Xizi felt a touch of warmth from the fifth prince. What made him happiest was that the fifth prince actually met the emperor by chance, and the emperor loved him very much.

The Fifth Prince's words to the Emperor were extremely disrespectful, and he thought several times that the Emperor would definitely punish him. He was terrified, not for himself, but because he was afraid that the Empress would be upset. But the Emperor, contrary to his usual behavior, actually loved the Fifth Prince even more.

The fifth prince did not like writing, and everyone in the palace thought that he was illiterate. But he was the only one who knew best that the fifth prince knew a lot of things. Not only could he read, but he was also a genius with a photographic memory. He was able to learn to read because of the fifth prince's care.

The fifth prince was loved by the emperor, and their lives in Fengluan Palace were getting better and better.

But unfortunately, the emperor still doesn't like the imperial concubine.

Everyone said that the Fifth Prince was an unlearned playboy, but fortunately, everyone thought that the Fifth Prince posed no threat. After the Emperor grew old, the fighting in the palace became more and more intense, but none of it affected Fengluan Palace or the Fifth Prince.

Suddenly one day the Fourth Prince died, and soon after, the Second Prince rebelled. Before he could react, the Fifth Prince ascended the throne.

As a capable eunuch beside the fifth prince, he was promoted to the chief eunuch, managing the eunuchs of the entire palace.

He still remembered that when he first entered the palace, he just wanted to have a meal, and later he just wanted to live a stable life. However, occasionally because of the fifth prince, he had seen the majestic eunuch Wang. He always regarded eunuch Wang as his idol because eunuch Wang's experience was very similar to his.

However, he knew that he could not become a eunuch, but he was very satisfied with his current life. The atmosphere in the entire Fengluan Palace was very good, and the masters never beat or scolded him.

He originally thought that he would live like this for the rest of his life, and then save more money in the palace. When he got old, he would ask the fifth prince to let him leave the palace, and then go to the countryside to buy some land and have a son to take care of him in his old age.

Unexpectedly, he ended up sitting in the seat that Eunuch Wang once sat in.

After the emperor passed away, he became the object of flattery by all the eunuchs, but he did not humiliate his former idol, Eunuch Wang.

The former fifth prince, now the emperor, asked him to send eunuch Wang Gongli out of the palace, and even bought land for eunuch Wang. He also asked him to adopt several adopted sons to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

The Fifth Prince has indeed always been a kind-hearted person, and the Imperial Concubine is even more so.

Everyone thought that Xiao Xizi had become Eunuch Xi and the most popular person around the new emperor, and was very majestic, but he was not happy. Every day, when he listened to the emperor cursing the court officials for being stubborn, he cursed them in his heart too, and wished he could go into battle himself and find someone to beat up those who were causing trouble for the new emperor.

They all thought that the new emperor was an unlearned idiot and that Anguo would perish at any time, but Xiao Xizi did not think so. These people were old fellows with dim eyesight who were about to die, and they actually mistook pearls for gravel.

When the new emperor asked him if he was willing to be a knife in his hand, Xiao Xizi nodded without hesitation and said he was willing.

Eunuch Wang was a favorite of the late emperor, and the new emperor was willing to arrange such good things for him. I believe he will definitely not treat me unfairly.

Even if the new emperor pushed him out as a shield in the end, he would be happy with it. It was worth it for him to be able to live such a glorious life until now.

Then he became the eagle's claw in the eyes of the court officials and a scourge that deserved to be cut into pieces.

But why don't they open their eyes and see, is the An Kingdom now destroyed? No? Not only is it not destroyed, but it is becoming stronger and stronger!

Xiao Xizi always thought that he would be infamous for eternity, but when he went among the people, he found that everyone was praising Eunuch Xi for a thousand years and His Majesty for a long time.

It turned out that those who scolded him were the old stubborn people in the court. The people still knew that His Majesty was doing this for their own good.

That's good.

He helped His Majesty deal with a lot of dirty things, but he felt that His Majesty was still too kind.

In the past, those who broke the law would either have their property confiscated or be exiled, but His Majesty felt that population was very important, so he only allowed them to do labor, such as digging rocks and mountains, and reclaiming wasteland. If they performed well, they might even be released early.

Although Xiao Xizi felt that these people were being treated too well, he would not disobey the new emperor. He would only withhold some of their food; as long as they were not starved to death, His Majesty would not care.

Later, His Majesty conquered more and more lands, and he also grew old. He set up his supervisory office to consolidate the imperial power, but after a few decades, the entire court was filled with the emperor's supporters, and his institution became increasingly decadent. However, he did not have any greed and continued to serve as his personal eunuch.

He was old and had wanted to find an opportunity to ask His Majesty if he could be allowed to leave the palace and find a place to retire, just like Eunuch Wang.

When Eunuch Wang passed away, his adopted son carried his coffin and soul, which was a perfect ending.

But before he could say anything, His Majesty had already taken the initiative to suggest it. His Majesty did not let him go far away, but let him retire in the imperial farm near the capital.

As the country grew stronger, selling children was banned. His Majesty asked him to adopt a son from an orphanage. He adopted three sons and two daughters.

Although he was old, had resigned from all his positions, and could not often appear before the emperor, everyone in the imperial farm respected him very much and no one dared to bully him. It turned out that His Majesty had once ordered this.

His Majesty also gave him a sign, telling him that if he suffered any injustice, he could go to the palace at any time.

Xiao Xizi died at the age of 70. He felt that his life was worth it. He had experienced everything he should have and tasted both the sweet and the bitter.
