Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 180

Auntie Qi didn't go out the entire day. The people in the esteemed office were all curious why they didn't see her all day. However, they operated based on procedure, so things naturally continued as normal.

Eunuch Fu came to the Fengqi Palace bright and early to accompany the Jing Emperor to court. In the past, his back was always hunched. However, after being gone for three days, he seemed clearly full of energy. His face was rosy and even his smile wasn't quite the same as before. How to put it? It seemed to contain some additional sweetness and secret satisfaction. His gaze seemed much more vivid.

The Jing Emperor got off his royal carriage, glanced at the secretly pleased old fellow next to him, and involuntarily curled his lips in a smile.

Nothing happened at all in court today. The Jing Emperor was in a very good mood.

After court, he returned to the imperial study and summoned some trusted aides and officials to discuss official business.

As noon approached, he returned to the Fengqi Palace as usual.

Lunch was being set up on the table. Xiao Hua came over and personally helped him wash up and change.

Then, they ate their meal.

After sitting, Xiao Hua looked at Eunuch Fu who was standing on the side. She withdrew her gaze and hid a smile before saying to the Jing Emperor: "Majesty, can this empress request a favor for Eunuch Fu?"

The Jing Emperor indicated for her to speak with his gaze.

"Once you're here at the Fengqi Palace, you naturally don't need someone waiting upon you. Eunuch Fu isn't young anymore, and is someone who is always following beside majesty. Why not let him go take a rest during this time. If he's always working around the clock, he'll get exhausted eventually. It's not too late for Eunuch Fu to join you when you leave for official business in the afternoon."

"Permitted."

Eunuch Fu froze, and immediately bowed: "Thank you empress for your grace. Thank you majesty for your grace."

"Alright, alright. Hurry and go. It's lunch time, go eat some food and rest for a bit. Recuperate your energy."

"Aye!" Eunuch Fu said happily and hurriedly took his leave.

After Eunuch Fu left, Xiao Hua couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, "Sir Jing, you wouldn't blame me for deciding things on my own, right?"

"Naturally won't."

"Everyone says the first three months after marriage is the honeymoon phase. You can't just occupy all his time, how is he supposed to enjoy himself?"

The Jing Emperor had an embarrassed expression: "I'm not. Eunuch Fu is old, and I've told him several times he doesn't have to do everything personally. But he's not willing."

"Even if he's not willing, you can help create some free time for him."

The Jing Emperor nodded, "This is a good idea."

The emperor and empress didn't like having other people serve them for their meals. Therefore, only Ding Lan stood on the side. In the past, Eunuch Fu would be there as well. But since Eunuch Fu went to busy himself, Ding Lan finished up what she had to do and stood to the side with her hands clasped. The rest was left to the Jing Emperor and Xiao Hua.

The Jing Emperor lifted his bowl, "Where are the children today?"

Xiao Hua used her chopsticks to poke at the rice in her bowl and was a little aggrieved, "They went to the eastern palace. Ever since Zhuo'er moved to the eastern palace, Yi Yi that lass likes to run over there. Yu'er is the same."
