Chapter 413 A Servant Should Not Serve Two Masters
Xixi tilted her head and looked at Xiaodongzi in confusion, "Do you know Eunuch Cao?"
But wasn't he from the Imperial Kitchen before? How did he know Eunuch Cao?
Xiao Dongzi said proudly, "After I came to His Majesty's side, the chef from the imperial kitchen came to me and said that Eunuch Cao wanted to adopt me as his godson!"
In the past, Xiao Dongzi would never have dared to dream of such a good thing. He couldn't even meet Eunuch Cao, let alone become Eunuch Cao's godson.
Thinking that he could become one of the most powerful people in the harem at such a young age, Xiao Dongzi excitedly said to Xixi, "Eunuch Cao said that if you have anything you want to do, just tell him, and he will definitely satisfy you!"
When Xixi heard this, she lowered her head, holding the stone in her hand.
"Xiao Dongzi, do you recognize him as your father?"
Xiao Dongzi still had some insight. He intuitively felt that Xixi didn't seem very happy, so he hesitated and said, "Not yet."
It’s not that easy to adopt a godparent.
"My father said that a servant should not serve two masters."
Xiao Dongzi was stunned for a moment after hearing what Xixi said, "I didn't..."
Xixi turned her head and looked at him, "My father doesn't like Eunuch Cao. My father doesn't want Eunuch Cao to be around me. If you tell Eunuch Cao about my affairs, you will be betraying my father. Betraying my father is betraying me."
"My mother, my father and I are my family." This is what Ji Sheng always said to Xixi.
"If you side with Eunuch Cao, then go back to the imperial kitchen."
Xixi stood up after she finished speaking. Xiaodongzi stood aside, stunned. It was not until he saw Xixi leave that he rushed over, "Your Majesty!"
Xiao Dongzi stood in front of Xixi with his arms outstretched to block her. Chunque, who had been following them, watched this scene and hesitated whether to step forward and push Xiao Dongzi away from his young master.
After Xiao Dongzi stopped Xixi, he knelt down in front of Xixi with a "bang".
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I have no second thoughts. You are my only master. I have no other master. Please don't drive me away!"
Xixi looked at Xiaodongzi kneeling in front of her and admitting his mistake in panic, but did not speak immediately.
Ever since she could remember, many people would kneel before her, and since she came to the palace, people would kneel before her every day.
So Xixi didn't feel much about this action.
She just didn't like her playmates, and her own people had other thoughts.
"Xiaodongzi."
Xiao Dongzi kowtowed to Xixi.
"You don't treat me as your master, nor as your majesty."
In fact, there are many people in the palace who are like Xiao Dongzi, but Xiao Dongzi is too simple-minded because of his young age.
"Your Majesty, I didn't, I..." Xiao Dongzi's voice froze as he explained, and he finally realized why Xixi said this just now.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Xiao Dongzi prostrated himself in front of Xixi, trembling all over.
It was his fault. Why did he always call himself "I" in front of Xixi? She was different.
"Um."
After Xixi finished speaking, she walked around Xiaodongzi and saw Zhou Yunshu walking slowly towards her.
Seeing her mother, Xixi pouted and turned her head in another direction.
She hasn't figured out how to face Zhou Yunshu who has to leave.
"Xixi, mother is sick. Can you wait for her?"
Seeing Xixi about to run, Zhou Yunshu had no choice but to use the excuse that Ji Sheng had used in the morning.
"Oh, my feet hurt so much~"
When Xixi thought about her mother coming out to find her even though she was sick, she immediately stopped in her tracks out of pity.
She is not soft-hearted to everyone. Xixi is only soft-hearted to her own parents.
"Oh, if only my precious daughter could help me up~"
Xixi listened to Zhou Yunshu's voice, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around shyly.
"You can't run when you're sick. You should go back to bed and rest." Xixi came to Zhou Yunshu's side, her small and delicate face full of worry, "You should drink more hot water when you're sick."
Zhou Yunshu squatted down and hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "But when mother is sick, she just wants to see her baby Xixi. This way, even if she is sick, she can get better quickly."
"Why?" Xixi asked, blinking her big eyes in confusion.
Shouldn't you seek medical advice when you're sick?
"Because Xixi is mother's medicine."
Xixi's lips curled up slightly, but she thought of what Zhou Yunshu had said before and said again: "But mother wants to leave Xixi alone in the palace."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the steps of the pavilion next to her and waved to Xixi.
As the two of them walked over there hand in hand, Zhou Yunshu said to the still unhappy person beside her, "Xixi, can you listen to your mother's explanation?"
Zhou Yunshu sat on the mahogany bench in Yunting and took Xixi into her arms.
Xixi nodded. Of course she was willing to listen to her mother's explanation. She loved her mother the most.
"Mother and your father once made a three-year agreement. This three-year agreement was made with me when your father left with Pingping in Dongchuan."
"This three-year agreement is still valid, but the content is slightly different from before."
"In other words, from that time on, there are only two years left. During these two years, mother will take care of things in Nanzhou and the Zhou family's affairs. When all is done, mother will bring Kang Kang to the capital, and then our family will be reunited."
Xixi's eyes lit up and she asked, "Will you never leave again then? Will mother stay with Xixi and father forever?"
Wouldn't she be the happiest child in the world?
"Well..." Zhou Yunshu hugged Xixi's little body and said, "Mother can't guarantee that she will be by your side anytime and anywhere, but what I can promise you is that I will be with you most of the time every year."
Xixi thought about it carefully and felt that this seemed not bad.
She nodded, stretched out her little finger to Zhou Yunshu and said, "Then let's pinky promise."
"We've made a promise to each other for a hundred years, and we won't change our minds!"
"good!"
The two made an agreement, and Xixi nestled in Zhou Yunshu's arms lovingly.
"Mom, can you come visit me occasionally during these three years?" She touched her chest and said to Zhou Yunshu, "Otherwise Xixi will miss you so much that it hurts."
Zhou Yunshu kissed the top of Xixi's head and said softly, "Okay."
It was impossible for her not to visit Xixi at all in nearly three years.
"Will you bring Kang Kang with you then?"
When they were at the Zhou family, it was Xixi who always protected Kang Kang. Now that she is in the palace, she doesn’t know how her younger brother Kang Kang is doing.
"If possible, mother will take him with her."
"Okay, we also need to bring grandma, Yuan Li, Yuan Yi, Yuan Ruo and the others..."
Seeing that the lights were about to be lit in the palace, Zhou Yunshu took Xixi's hand and walked towards Fengluan Palace while saying to her, "If the Zhou family overturns the verdict, your grandmother and the others will return to the capital."
"If you want to see them then, just give the order."
Xixi tilted her head up to look at Zhou Yunshu and asked, "Is the decree so useful?"
Before, Xiao Dongzi also told her to issue an edict, as if as long as she issued an edict, everyone would listen to her.
“It’s easy to use, but because it’s easy to use, you should use it with caution.”
Xixi thought about it and nodded, then said to Zhou Yunshu, "Isn't it just like the knife in Lei Yi's hand? It can protect people, but it can also kill people."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Xixi and her eyes lit up. She nodded and said, "That's the truth."
“So you have to use it with caution.”
Xixi nodded her little head and said to Zhou Yunshu, "I understand, mother. I will not be an emperor like my grandfather."
Many people Xixi knew and didn’t know secretly cursed him!
She hopes to be an emperor who is rarely scolded.
While the two were talking, a group of eunuchs came over, escorting four or five women in white dresses and messy hair.
When they saw that it was Xixi and others who were coming towards them, they hurriedly covered the mouths of the crazy women who were shouting around them and forced them to retreat to the wall for shelter.
"Mmmmm, sir!!"
