My eunuch An is a yandere

Huang San received An Jiu's instructions. This time, the inspection was particularly strict. He actually discovered nineteen people who were not on the payroll and were drawing salaries without work, as well as two who slipped through the net because they were young at the time of castration and had hidden sperm.

When handing in the list, An Jiu first looked at the results of Qingning Palace. When he found that there was no problem, he felt a little relieved.

As for the two problematic eunuchs, Huang San dealt with them according to the rules on the spot.

Because the eunuch's own family affair was a matter that could not be made public, he would not report the cause and effect of the matter to the noble.

Bai Ningwei would have no idea that the palace examination this time was extra strict because of An Jiu's selfish motives.

Let’s talk about An Jiu’s matter later. Bai Ningwei has something to worry about today.

Xiao Qi got angry today and shouted that he would quit.

Xiao Qi has been attending kindergarten for half a year. Although he only goes there in the afternoons every day, he has some good friends there.

Because we are young, this feeling is rare, pure and clean.

As long as the other party's parents don't make trouble, Bai Ningwei won't care about Xiao Qi's friendships.

It can be said that the families behind these children also know how to play the long game and catch the big fish. They did not deliberately try to get close to the little emperor just because their children became friends with him.

So Xiao Qi had a very happy time studying when he was young. In half a year, he learned a lot of things that he could not learn in the palace.

The first thing is to understand time.

"I won't go! I won't go to, to, to, to court!"

Xiao Qi threw his hat away and refused to let the palace maid dress him.

"They...are, are, getting up at Chenshi. I, I want to get up at Maoshi. This, this, is not fair!"

Xiao Qi was so angry that his words became incoherent. He might not understand the Mao hour and Chen hour, but he at least knew that he slept less than others, and most importantly, he had less time to play.

"I, want to, go, go to primary school. Wow, wow, wow."

Bai Ningwei was also troubled by Xiao Qi's uncooperative behavior. She couldn't hold the three-year-old child, who was a bit over a year old, when he started to make a fuss. Meanwhile, the palace maids and eunuchs all knelt on the ground, no one able to solve the problem.

"Hezi, pick up His Majesty."

The ceremonial procession was already waiting outside, and the clepsydra indicated that there was not much time left to waste.

But Xiao Qi didn't want to attend the morning court, so he simply lay on the ground and rolled around.

"I, I don't, no, like it."

Xiao Qi made a fuss and his face turned red and he kept sobbing.

Hezi clasped his hands together and had no idea how to fight back against Xiao Qi's punches and kicks.

Bai Ningwei watched with deep distress; the child was simply too young. Having such a young child attend court at such a different time every day had not only made Xiao Qi slightly shorter than his peers, but had also made him a bit too dull.

Carrying the responsibility of the country too early actually has no practical significance and may even cause Xiao Qi to have psychological problems in such a heavy environment.

At least the little emperor of the previous generation ascended the throne at the age of six. By then, he knew quite a few characters, and although the morning court was just a formality, he could still spend the entire morning quietly reading a book.

Unlike Xiao Qi now, who was a little over three years old, let alone reading, sitting quietly on a dragon throne without running around was against the law of growth.

Time passed little by little, and Bai Ningwei was helpless and could only instruct Wang Xi to notify the court to adjourn for the day and let King Jing and the five ministers go to the Zichen Hall to discuss matters.

In the Purple Palace, King Jing learned that the emperor was sent to a kindergarten after crying, and he was the first to be unwilling.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! As the saying goes, drowning a child is like killing him. May I ask what your Majesty's intentions are?"

Bai Ningwei really wanted to stuff the brush on the imperial desk into the dog man's mouth. Was she drowning him?

He is so good at educating, what time does his grandson get up?

"Prince Jing immediately accused me of a crime. I'm very curious, when were your grandchildren born?"

"The Son of Heaven is naturally different from ordinary people. He can endure what ordinary people cannot endure."

"The Emperor is also a human being! He needs to grow up too. Your Majesty can't even get a good night's sleep, how can he grow up healthy?"

The director of the Imperial Hospital, who had been standing in the corner as a background, finally spoke up.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. When Your Majesty was born, you were already weak and suffered from asthma. It is thanks to Your Majesty's meticulous care over the past few years that Your Majesty has suffered less and is now safe."

"Recently, I have taken Your Majesty's pulse and can clearly detect a weak heart pulse, which is caused by the reversal of day and night. Your Majesty, at your age, should get enough sleep."

Yuan Zheng's words did not make King Jing feel that Bai Ningwei was right. Instead, he brought up the past.

"Humph, I don't know who said that you can't lead someone by the hat. You have to come out from behind the pearl curtain and carry His Majesty to court."

"This is what I said."

Bai Ningwei wasn't the least bit afraid of King Jing's accusations. After more than half a year of confrontation, the five ministers, with the exception of King Jing, had become well aware that the Queen Mother was a man of her word and always sided with propriety and law.

So when she admitted it, the five people did not think that King Jing would gain the upper hand, and they continued to listen in silence.

"I still say the same thing now. I am the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's mother. The Emperor is good, and I am good. Therefore, I will not give an inch to the Emperor's rights."

"Your Majesty needs adequate sleep for healthy growth, so let Your Majesty grow up first. As for attending court, starting tomorrow, I will carry Your Majesty's dragon robe."

After hearing this, King Jing was so angry that he pointed at Bai Ningwei's face and cursed.

"Queen Mother! Is this world the Xiao family's, or your Bai family's?"

"Prince Jing, how dare you! For the sake of my calling you Imperial Uncle, you should stay at home and reflect on your mistakes for a month."

King Jing knew that he had said the wrong thing in anger, but his concerns were also the concerns of the other five people.

So Shen Gaoyi took the lead and the five of them knelt down together.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Looking at the reactions of several people, Bai Ningwei knew that if she gave in today, she would never be able to dream of ascending the throne and becoming the empress again.

Although what she is doing now is to protect Xiao Qi's rights and interests, it might as well be a foreshadowing for her own future.

"What do you want me to think twice about? Are you ignoring the Emperor's health and forcing a child like him, who knows nothing, to attend court? Or, if His Majesty doesn't go, then I, as the Empress Dowager, can't guard the throne for His Majesty?"

"Shen Gaoyi, you are the head of the ministers of state. Tell me why the late emperor granted me the right to sit in on the court and observe the affairs of state."

Shen Gaoyi just felt that he had grown an unnecessary mouth. How should he answer this question?

The late emperor was naturally trying to balance the previous dynasty. The empress dowager was guarding against the expansion of ambitions of the royal family represented by Prince Jing and the ministers who assisted the country.

The Queen Mother did this out of urgency, which was understandable. Furthermore, she was right in saying that she had no children, so no matter what she did, ultimately, only when the Emperor was well could she be well.

The Queen Mother has always been a woman with clear cognition. She always knows where to make her move so that their bottom line will retreat again and again without collapsing.

But the person sitting on the high throne in the court was a woman. How could these people accept this?

Seeing that they were unable to refute him, he finally slammed the table.

"Prince Jing's words were inappropriate and offensive to Your Majesty. He is to be confined to his room for a month to reflect on his mistakes. As for his muddled words, please forget them once you leave this room."
