When the Seventh Princess heard this, tears began to fall from her eyes.

When Peacock saw why the child was crying, he quickly picked her up and held her in his arms, wiping her tears and comforting her softly.

"What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, tell the teacher what's wrong with you?"

"Master Imperial Master, the Queen Mother has never said anything about protecting me. I have always lived cautiously in this palace. No one has ever said anything about protecting me."

When Peacock heard this, his heart ached. This child is only a few years old, but he lives so cautiously. Alas, this poor child!

The peacock held her in his arms and patted her

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's okay. I'll be here for you from now on. I won't let anyone bully you anymore. Be good and rest well here with me. Only when you're strong can you avenge your father and his concubine."

"Um"

As Peacock was patting the child, he found that the child was no longer moving and crying.

When he looked down, he found that the child had fallen asleep in his arms.

"This little girl"

Peacock carried her directly into his bedroom, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and let her rest in peace.

Xiao Xizi, the eunuch of the Seventh Princess, was so moved that tears streamed down his face when he saw how much his young master was loved and cared for by the Imperial Master.

Peacock found the child crying with tears and snot all over his face and felt a little amused. He quickly handed him a piece of paper and asked him to wipe his tears.

"Why are you crying so hard?"

"I see how much you care for the young master. I miss my mother too. Our family is poor. A few years ago, my sister owed a gambling debt and my family couldn't pay it back, so they sold me to the palace. I want to go home and see my mother and the others."

"Okay, when we have a chance later, I'll take you back to see them, okay?"

Xiao Xizi looked at Peacock with shining eyes

"Really? But the palace has a rule that slaves like us who have been purified are not allowed to go home in the future."

"It's okay, I'll take you out secretly."

"No, no, it's too much trouble for you, sir. I'm fine. The money my mother earned from selling me into the palace is enough for them to live comfortably for many years. I'm also quite relieved. It's okay for me not to go back."

Peacock rubs Xiao Xizi's head

"It's okay. It would be good for you to go back and see them. That way you'll feel more at ease."

Peacock thought about it and gave Xiao Xizi some advice.

"Since you are following the Seventh Princess, you must be careful with your words and actions in the future. You must think twice before doing anything, because your young master will be someone who will accomplish great things in the future. When you are with her, you must not show your emotions like you do now. Do you understand?"

"What big thing is the young master going to do? He is so weak, can I do it for him? I can't tire my young master out."

"Silly child, you can only assist him in his important tasks, but you can't replace him. But if you assist him well, it will make things much easier for her."

"Then what should I do? Can you teach me?"

"Then when they are studying, you can quietly stand at the back and follow along. This way you will learn more words and understand more principles, which will definitely be of great help in the future."

"Yes, thank you, Master Imperial Master, for your support."

When the Seventh Princess woke up at night, she found that it was not the room where she had rested before. She was a little confused and couldn't figure out where to turn.

"Xiao Xizi, Xiao Xizi"

"My dear young master, you are finally awake. You have been sleeping all afternoon."
