Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1928

"Are you telling the truth?" Emperor Zhaowu looked at him.

Xiao Shuzi lowered his head. "Eunuch Qi once taught me that the worst thing for a servant is to be indecisive and try to profit from both sides. He once told me that if one day he lost power and I gained the emperor's favor, I would never tell him about my master's affairs."

"Eunuch Qi has indeed done a good job." Emperor Zhaowu knew that Qi Youen seemed to be able to get along with everyone, but in fact he was very tight-lipped and had the word "loyalty" engraved in his bones.

No one can pry a useful word out of Eunuch Qi's mouth, unless the retired emperor tells him to spread the news, then he will use this opportunity to curry favor.

Emperor Zhaowu stared at the little tree for a long while before saying, "I also need someone like Eunuch Qi by my side. Do you think you are one?"

I think I am, so I can be? Xiao Shuzi clenched his sleeves with his fingers, "To me, a man like Eunuch Qi is not only a father but also a teacher. He is also a mountain that I cannot reach the top of. But I am willing to climb every day, even if I fall and get smashed to pieces, I will still reach up."

I wonder if this speech can impress the master? Xiao Shuzi didn't dare to look up, but lowered his head to look at his toes.

I tried my best! Wealth and glory are fleeting.

If he had not achieved the status that Eunuch Qi had in the heart of the retired emperor, it would be hard to say who owned his head.

Emperor Zhaowu did not speak for a long time, as if he was thinking.

Just when Xiao Shuzi thought that his master would not speak to him from the bottom of his heart again, his master spoke again, "I thank my husband and my sister for their help. Now that my husband is gone, I want to do something for them." He was disappointed, "But my sister is wary of me."

Xiao Shuzi cautiously took a half step forward and said softly, "From what I can see, the princess is very close to the emperor. How could she be on guard?"

"I want to bring Yi Yi back to the palace to educate her properly, and to repay the kindness my husband showed me back then. But my sister..." Emperor Zhaowu closed his eyes and leaned back in his armchair, his long eyelashes hiding the sadness in his eyes. He sighed, "Forget it."

That's it? You thought it was a big deal. Xiao Shuzi felt relieved when he heard this. He understood that the princess rejected the master's kindness and was unwilling to let the master take the young marquis back to the palace.

After all, his master was young and the new emperor, and his self-esteem was hurt after being rejected.

Xiao Shuzi knelt down in front of his master, and massaged his legs and feet with skillful techniques, saying softly, "Master, do you remember when we passed by Jingyang, we saw a dog crying? At that time, you said that dogs are the most spiritual animals."

Emperor Zhaowu opened his eyes and glanced at him, not understanding why Xiao Shuzi suddenly brought up this.

Xiao Shuzi lowered his head and said, "Alas, you only saw the dog crying, but you don't know why it is crying."

"You know?"

Xiao Shuzi smiled awkwardly, and the strength in his hands was just right. "I was curious at the time, so I went to ask around, and I learned that the dog had just given birth to a litter of puppies. Its owner couldn't raise so many, so she sold the puppies or gave them away. The dog was a mother, and she was crying because her baby was taken away, and she would never see her own flesh and blood again."

Emperor Zhaowu understood and pretended to be angry, "How dare you compare my sister to a dog? You are so bold!"

Xiao Shuzi's face froze, and he shuddered with fear. "Nununu, I dare not. I just want to tell you, Master, that the princess did not mean to go against your kindness. All things have spirits. Even a mother dog is reluctant to part with her own flesh and blood, let alone a woman as affectionate as the princess?"

Seeing that his master's expression had eased a little, he continued to massage his master's legs. "You see, now that the prince consort is gone, the princess's children are all she cares about. The two little princesses were so weak at the beginning, and even though the princess loved them, she brought them all to Lingzhou. She just couldn't bear to be separated from the children. They are suffering! It's freezing cold!"
