He is the emperor's personal eunuch, the Grand Eunuch Xu!
The palace maids and eunuchs dared not be negligent and immediately stood up to ask, "What brings Eunuch Xu here?"
"Oh, His Majesty heard that Commander Shao has been working hard training the foxes these past few days, so he sent us some tonics and also prepared some rewards for that ungrateful male fox."
"His Majesty said that if the fox behaves well after this training, he will accept the reward and use it as a betrothal gift for her to enter the harem." After saying this, he was about to walk directly towards the palace.
The young eunuch hurriedly tried to stop them: "Steward, it's not that we're being rude, it's just that Commander Shao has given the order that no one can enter. If we're disturbed, it might..."
"Who does Shao Linyuan think he is? Just a mad dog kept by the Emperor. He dares to stop us from delivering things to the Emperor?"
Xu Gonggong had been the chief steward for many years and was used to running rampant in the inner court.
Even when he went out, he usually carried an imperial edict. When officials bowed to him and commoners gave way, he felt that he was above everyone else and naturally did not take Shao Linyuan seriously.
Ignoring the occasion, he walked straight over.
I think: Maybe I'll even see a tragic scene of training foxes, beating monsters to make them submit, that would be the most stress-relieving thing to watch.
Grandpa Xu enjoyed this pastime, and he also kept several small demons in his house, which he used for fighting.
But when they arrived at the main hall and pushed the door, there was no response.
The door seemed to be protected by a barrier that only demon hunters could break; it was impossible to knock on it.
Eunuch Xu said anxiously, "Lord Shao, Lord Shao, this old servant has come to deliver something to you on the Emperor's orders."
The room was a mess; the bedding was on the floor, its silk outer layer torn, revealing the cotton wadding inside, which was scattered about.
One wrong step and you could fall into the charcoal brazier by the window and set the entire palace ablaze.
But no one cleaned up the dangerous scene.
Five days have passed, and Si Jin's tail is still wrapped around Shao Linyuan. She only loosened her grip, raised an eyebrow, and gestured to him to look outside.
Soon, she was embraced tightly and kissed.
The little fox was barefoot, and Shao Linyuan, worried that he would get cold, let him stand on his official boots and kissed him all the way from the edge of the couch to the door.
These past few days, the little fox has been fierce and wild, almost pinning him down. Shao Linyuan barely managed to maintain his position and coaxed him to kiss obediently, so naturally he didn't want to be disturbed.
Not only did she ignore Eunuch Xu, but she also provocatively kissed him from a distance of only one door.
Seeing the excitement in the little fox's eyes, she would occasionally stroke his furry ears.
After calling out a few times without getting a response, Eunuch Xu became somewhat annoyed and was about to go to another room to look when he suddenly heard a "bang".
Startled, Eunuch Xu turned around abruptly and saw that the door behind him was slightly ajar. Shao Linyuan's official robes looked as if they had been torn to shreds by something with sharp claws, and were now tattered.
There was also a fluffy...white fox tail around its waist?!
Shao Linyuan seemed to realize Si Jin's intention, but instead of being annoyed, he laughed heartily.
Since you've decided to train your own fox, it's not unreasonable to allow your own child to make a fuss.
Soon, she turned around and gave Eunuch Xu a cold look from the doorway. Deliberately, in his shocked gaze, she cupped Si Jin's face and continued kissing her.
Then, he took a moment to whistle and closed the door without any hesitation.
This is outrageous!
That's the fox the Emperor has his eye on! Shao Linyuan, how dare he!
As if provoked by something, the hairs on Xu's body stood on end, and he only managed to keep from dropping the object in his hands by relying on his remaining rationality.
He had to tell the Emperor about this pair of scoundrels as soon as possible, because once the Emperor arrived, he would still be credited with the greatest achievement!
Eunuch Xu quickly calmed down and cheerfully took small steps to walk out. However, before he even passed the corner of the side hall, a strange fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and his vision was plunged into darkness.
