Realizing that she had misunderstood Xiao Wuzi again, Hong Xing's toes were straining with embarrassment. She nodded and handed back the large bag of charcoal in her arms.
"It is your blessing that Eunuch An values you. Just keep the things he rewards you. All of them are given to my young mistress. How do you sleep at night?"
"I am in good health and can sleep well without the need for charcoal heating."
Chu Qi said seriously, "If I can repay you, it will be my greatest wish. Miss Hong Xing, please don't reject me, okay?"
Inside the house, Shi Qian listened carefully to the noise outside.
Chuxiu Palace has always been quiet, and it is even quieter at night without a single sound. She could hear Xiao Wuzi's words clearly.
After hesitating for a moment, she put on a snow-white cotton velvet cloak and walked slowly to the door.
The sky was getting dark and the moonlight was like water. Xiao Wuzi's figure was illuminated by the moonlight. There was a shadow on his face, but his enthusiastic expression was still very obvious.
"Little Five." she said.
"I'll agree when I see you!" Chu Qi's face flashed with excitement.
"Your red radish charcoal, take it back!" Shi Agree turned away, speaking in a slow but gentle tone:
"I just provided you with a cup of hot tea. It doesn't count as a favor to you. You don't have to keep thinking about repaying me. Do you understand?"
"In my heart, the young master has done me a favor."
Chu Qi spoke in a low voice, the stubbornness in her tone frightening.
Shi Qian took a deep breath. She had never known that the eunuch who swept the floor and cleaned the house, whom she saw every day, would have such a stubborn character. She had advised him so clearly, so why didn't he listen?
But Shi Qian was sometimes stubborn. She believed in her heart that she had only given the other person a cup of hot tea, which was not a favor at all. Why should she enjoy the other party's "reward" for no reason?
If she had known that Xiao Wuzi was so stubborn, she should not have stepped forward when delivering water and should have let Hong Xing do it.
Shi Qian felt a strange throbbing in her heart. This unfamiliar feeling made her panic, as if something was about to escape her control.
Shi Qiang took the purse from Hong Xing and forcefully stuffed it into Xiao Wuzi's hand:
"If you still regard me as your mistress, then listen to me and don't send me anything in the future. You can take this money too."
Before she finished her words, Chu Qi raised her head and looked directly into Shi Ying's eyes, as if it was very unbelievable. Her eyes, which had always been pure and charming, now showed tears of sadness.
Meeting such a sad look, Shi Qian's breath stopped and she became instantly panicked. She wondered if she had spoken too harshly.
Chu Qi knew that her biggest advantage at the moment was her ability to win sincerity in return for sincerity, as well as her good looks that would always bring her success.
Every movement he made seemed to be carefully choreographed. Even when he raised his head, the moonlight shining on his long, distinct eyelashes seemed to cast a layer of soft light and shadow on him, which was stunningly beautiful.
He said with a desperate look:
"My dear, I don't just want to repay you. I don't know why, but the first time I saw you, I wanted to treat you well."
Boom!
Shi Qian's heart was filled with shock and chaos. Xiao Wuzi's words were like a bolt of thunder that struck her heart, causing her thoughts to go blank in an instant.
Hong Xing was also stunned. Although she had not yet reached the age of marriage and had never interacted with men, she knew the subtext of Xiao Wuzi's words.
How, how is this possible?
He is a eunuch, and her lady is the emperor's woman!
However, although it sounded shocking, the master and servant looked at Xiao Wuzi's extremely handsome eyebrows and the stubborn look in his eyes and eyebrows, and for a moment, no one spoke out to rebuke him for his rebellious thoughts.
Chu Qi is like a sailboat waiting for a storm. She knows clearly that she may be overturned by the huge waves at any time, but she still bravely expresses her feelings.
After a while, he knelt down and said, "I am guilty, please punish me, my lord."
Shi Qiang was in a daze, almost unable to stand steadily. She didn't hear much of Xiao Wuzi's words, and her mind was so dizzy that she couldn't think straight. However, her pretty little face turned slightly red, like a plum blossom in March, beautiful and intoxicating.
Hong Xing almost regained consciousness after running away from home, and she held on to Shi Shi's promise. Her white, calloused fingers pointed at the young eunuch who was kneeling on the ground with his back still straight:
"You, you, you... do you know what you are saying?"
What does it mean, I want to be nice to my mistress the first time I see her?
This is hardly a metaphor, it's explicit!
However, these two people, one is the emperor's woman, and the other is a little eunuch who has been cut off from his roots!
It's totally impolite!
If what we said today was heard by a third person, not only would Xiao Wuzi be dragged away and beheaded, but even Shi Da Ying would not end up well!
"The young lady and I will pretend that we didn't hear what you said just now, and you must not mention it again!" Hong Xing bent down and whispered harshly in Chu Qi's ear.
"I know, but...I am always straightforward."
Chu Qi lowered her head further and further, and the murmurs she spoke were like the wind, entering Shi Qian's ears and making her cheeks even redder.
After all, she was just a young girl who had just come of age. When had she ever been so passionately loved by a man?
Even if the other person is a eunuch, he is essentially a man.
Shi Qian paused for a long time, finally suppressing the shame and shock in her heart, and stopped the frantic Hong Xing. She thought for a while and said:
"I will pretend I don't know what happened today, and don't mention it again. This is a capital crime punishable by death, so just leave now!"
She forcefully stuffed the purse into Xiao Wuzi's hand. In a hurry, her white fingers accidentally touched Xiao Wuzi's warm yet slightly rough fingertips.
