Chapter 93 is not enough.
The pavilion was quiet. Xiao Qing sat at the head of the table, and Fu Mingyi sat to the right below. Next to him, Mingxiu, Ma Hong, Liu Yi, and Dan Ying stood side by side.
Yingying was not there.
Fu Mingyi glanced at it and then reported, "I heard that His Majesty brought back a boy from outside the palace. He has entered the palace as a slave to repay a debt of gratitude. Why haven't I seen him?"
Xiao Qing felt a tight string in his heart, and at that moment he wondered if what he wanted was Ying Ying.
"He has three kittens to take care of, so he probably won't have any free time right now."
Fu Mingyi looked at her disapprovingly, "When the master summons me, I cannot be late, how can I..."
"Mingxiu, go and call Yingying over. If he can't leave, have him bring those three little ones over too."
We can't let Fu Mingyi cause trouble anymore, otherwise if he punishes Ying Ying, will she be able to protect herself?
However, it was impossible for him to leave Yingying; she certainly wouldn't want to, and he had also said that he wouldn't make things difficult for her.
However, her own fate was hanging by a thread.
Mingxiu hurriedly went to urge them, and soon Yingying arrived carrying the cat.
Because of the cats' presence, Xiao Qing relaxed a little. For a moment, she even wondered if the situation would turn ugly, and if she asked these three to scratch the Grand Tutor, would they dare?
However, the Grand Tutor was clearly not a person who could put one at ease.
"Your Majesty, since everyone is here, let's begin."
Xiao Qing couldn't bring herself to ask.
"Since it is the Grand Tutor's intention, let the Grand Tutor ask. However, I think we should respect their own wishes."
Don't force people to do things they can't!
Fu Mingyi seemed to give her a deep look before turning to Ma Hong and the others, and said, "You all know His Highness Yan. With His Majesty's permission, I'd like to ask you if any of you are willing to serve His Highness Yan."
Xiao Qing thought to herself, "That question is really quite blunt."
However, to her surprise, someone actually stepped forward.
She turned her face, following the light from the corner of her eye, and her mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to organize her thoughts for a long time.
Looking at Liu Yi, who had stepped out before him, Ma Hong couldn't hide the complex emotions in his eyes, and he almost wanted to pull him back.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yi bowed and said, "This servant is willing." His demeanor was as respectful and willing as could be.
Dan Ying hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "This servant is willing."
Ma Hong unconsciously glanced at Fu Mingyi, and suddenly felt flustered.
Fu Mingyi didn't show any extra emotion, but then Xiao Qing said in a deep voice, "Is Attendant Ma also willing?"
Xiao Qing couldn't describe the shock, frustration, and suspicion she felt at that moment. She subconsciously glanced at Fu Mingyi, who was sitting as still as a mountain, and then looked at the three people in front of her. It felt like a stone was stuck in her heart.
What does this mean?
Is it really because the Grand Tutor has recently favored Xiao Yan that people are trying to climb the social ladder and seek higher positions?
So recently, she's been hearing rumors that the regent seems to be establishing a new ruler...
Xiao Qing's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
She usually didn't take these words to heart. She knew this position was never meant for her, and she would have to step down in some way sooner or later, just in this way, in this way...
“This servant…” Ma Hong felt uneasy and unconsciously looked at Fu Mingyi again, but the other party did not give him any hints.
Xiao Qing saw all of this, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
No wonder the Grand Tutor made that suggestion, no wonder Dan Ying acted so strangely this morning. No wonder...
Xiao Qing suddenly stood up. "I understand your wishes. Let's do as the Grand Tutor wishes."
A fire was burning inside her, a fire that clouded her mind, and she needed to find her reason.
"Your Majesty, please wait." Fu Mingyi stood up to stop her.
Xiao Qing asked coldly, "Does the Grand Tutor have anything else to say?"
"Both Attendant Ma and Attendant Liu are military attendants; Your Majesty should keep one of them by your side."
Xiao Qing's voice grew even colder, "I respect their wishes."
"Then I will take Attendant Liu and Attendant Dan with me."
"I said, respect their wishes!" Xiao Qing said through gritted teeth.
Ma Hong had already knelt down, his forehead pressed against the ground.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them could be put into words.
Fu Mingyi stared at her intently, silent, his face as hard as ice.
He was very determined.
Xiao Qing suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Very well, we'll do as the Grand Tutor wishes. Does the Grand Tutor have anything else to say?"
Fu Mingyi was still not satisfied.
He looked at the two flames in Xiao Qing's eyes, and saw that even though she was already very angry, she could still suppress her anger and say such things to him.
She was only ten years old.
He had long noticed that she had much better control over her emotions than her peers.
Xiao Yan seems to be the same.
But that's not all he wanted.
His eyes deepened slightly, concealing all his emotions within that dark depth.
That's not enough.
He caught a glimpse of Ying Ying standing in the back row with her head down.
"His Highness Yan is young and needs a young palace attendant to accompany him. Attendant Ying is just the right age, and coincidentally, His Highness Yan also loves cats very much, so perhaps..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Fu Mingyi then asked Ying Ying, "Is Eunuch Ying willing?"
Ying Ying said, "This servant only wishes to follow Your Majesty."
"What a pity, His Highness Yan was really looking forward to it. If he really doesn't want to, how about we use what the eunuch is carrying instead?"
Xiao Qing found it utterly unbelievable.
Is this pushing the limits?
“You…” She was about to push Fu Mingyi away, but he whispered, “Your Majesty said that you would not object to anything I do.”
"The Grand Tutor also said he wouldn't make things difficult for me!" Xiao Qing said coldly, his anger barely contained.
"Therefore, this matter should be decided by the eunuch." He smiled faintly.
Xiao Qing was so angry that she couldn't hold back anymore.
She now knows what Fu Mingyi is up to.
Everything was arranged. Xiao Yan's insistence on bringing Xiao Xiao to express his gratitude yesterday was definitely not about the Chengguang Palace.
She was a woman, and she would have to leave sooner or later. Fu Mingyi had found a replacement and no longer needed her.
Therefore, there's no need to consider her emotions or condition at all.
She glared at Fu Mingyi, her expression changing repeatedly, while Ying Ying had already knelt down and lifted Xiao Xiao up.
“Pale Shadow,” Fu Mingyi said calmly.
Dan Ying turned around and hugged the struggling Xiao Xiao, holding her tightly in her arms.
Xiao Xiao wasn't feeling well, so she meowed incoherently, which probably bothered Fu Mingyi's ears, so he frowned slightly. "Attendant Ma, please take them to Chengguang Palace first."
Mingxiu was at a loss for what to do, and didn't even realize when she had knelt down.
After the three left, Xiao Qing was so angry she was almost trembling. Looking at Fu Mingyi's expressionless face, she couldn't help but tremble as she angrily said, "Are you satisfied now? Is there anything else you want? Do you want this chair? Do you want this outfit? Do you want me to personally deliver it to Cheng..."
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."
He also told her to be careful with her words?
