"Empress Zhao, this servant pays his respects to you."

A eunuch in blue came up alone and knelt in front of Fei Wan's sedan chair while everyone else was dodging on both sides of the road.

"stop."

Xiangyi raised her hand.

The sedan chair stopped. Dong Bao, who was escorting it, stepped forward and asked the eunuch in a stern voice, "What are you doing?"

Fei Wan smiled and told Dong Bao and others not to be nervous.

"Let him come closer. This is the eunuch Liude who suffered for me on the day I came to visit my parents."

Dongbao moved out of the way upon hearing this, but still stood close to the sedan chair to prevent any accidents.

Fei Wanxiao asked the eunuch, "Eunuch Liude's injury has healed considerably. Does the area where he was shot still hurt?"

The eunuch knelt a few steps, approached the sedan chair, and said excitedly:

"I, the servant Liude, didn't realize that Her Majesty Zhao Fei knew my name! I dare not call Her Majesty the eunuch. I am so embarrassed!"

He kowtowed three times to Fei Wan, loudly thanking Fei Wan for ordering the imperial physician to treat his injuries, giving him a single room to live in, and finding two people to look after him day and night, and gave him a generous reward.

"If it weren't for your kindness, my injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly. Thank you so much, Your Majesty! I didn't dare keep you too long today, so I came all the way here to express my gratitude!"

Fei Wan laughed and said softly, "Why are you thanking me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been injured. Every time I think of this these days, I feel guilty towards you."

Liu De said, "It wasn't Your Majesty who was injured. It was that damned assassin who shot an arrow at Your Majesty, but Your Majesty was blessed with good fortune and luck, and sat perfectly still on the Luanyi, so he wasn't even hit. The arrow deflected and landed on me, and I took the blame for Your Majesty. It's a blessing in disguise! Your Majesty, please don't feel guilty. This is the result of Your Majesty's great blessings and the grace of His Majesty!"

very eloquent.

Fei Wan felt even more satisfied.

She had already ordered a thorough investigation of Liu De and knew that he did not belong to any faction within the palace, but was merely an ordinary eunuch. He was quite clever, did his job well, and had a teacher who was also honest and considerate.

I have long wanted to promote him.

She ordered someone to put down the sedan chair, walked down, and gave Liude a light hand to help him get up.

"Even if you say so, I feel bad. I've already asked His Majesty for permission to assign you a good job once you've recovered, to make up for the trouble I've caused you. His Majesty has already agreed, and he also said that if you're diligent and reliable, you could be promoted to honor your loyalty. Liude, do you have a job you'd like?"

Liu De never expected that there would be such a good thing.

His injuries have healed greatly in the past few days and he can walk a little. He is just waiting for the arrival of Empress Zhao.

Why not go to Chunxi Palace to express gratitude?

He had an idea.

That's the thing about expressing gratitude. Thanking in private can only let the master know that you are a grateful person and will reward him when he is in a good mood.

But if you thank them in public, not only will others know that you are grateful, but you can also help spread the master's reputation. Wouldn't the master be happier then, and the reward will definitely be greater.

With this little idea in mind, he watched for an empty sedan chair today and waited nearby. When Fei Wan came back in the sedan chair, he would rush out and promote Fei Wan's fame in front of passers-by.

As expected, Fei Wan treated him kindly.

But I didn't expect that he would be so kind to Taifa that he would even be given a good job?

A good job is not more affordable than gold and silver!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!" Liu De had just stood up, but now he knelt on the ground again and said respectfully, "I am currently a clerk in the Palace Administration Department's Lisi Department. The head and stewards treat me very well. I also know that I need more experience, so I dare not ask for other responsibilities."

This is to demonstrate one's duty and make the master value him more.

Also, don't offend your former colleagues and superiors, so as not to be accused of climbing up the social ladder and forgetting your roots.

Fei Wan was even more satisfied to see how thoughtful he was.

She sighed, "You're quite obedient. However, His Majesty and I have both decided to give you a promotion, to show the palace staff that loyalty pays off. Li Zhong, the head of the Imperial Household Department, mentioned last time that one of the four eunuchs is about to retire due to age. How about you take over?"

Liu De was so surprised that his body trembled slightly.

Deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

The eunuch with real power!

The palace maids who were leaning against the wall to make way were all envious.

Oh my god, who wouldn’t want to be a steward of the Imperial Household Department by taking an arrow for Concubine Zhao?

Concubine Zhao’s reputation for treating palace maids well is indeed well-deserved!

"Thank you for your promotion, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you and live up to your kindness!"

Liude kowtowed in gratitude.

Fei Wan smiled and said, "This is permitted by His Majesty, so you don't need to thank me."

He then looked around at the passersby and said solemnly, "No matter where you are, as long as you serve diligently and are loyal to the Lord, His Majesty will not treat you unfairly. Our Majesty is the most benevolent and loving, so you must all serve him wholeheartedly."

"Your servant will follow the Empress's orders! Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, and a thousand years of life for Empress Zhao!"

The palace maids from far and near all knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Fei Wan smiled and nodded.

His eyes penetrated the vast sky and he saw that he was one step closer to the Nine Heavens.
