"Eunuch Tang..."

Chujiu's voice came from behind, and his hand was already on Tang An's shoulder.

Tang An jumped in shock and patted his chest, "How come you walk without making any sound?"

"what--"

He walked on the snow, making a crunching sound, but why was there no sound?

Is Eunuch Tang engrossed in something?

"It's nothing. Just come with me. The emperor has summoned him." Tang An didn't bother to argue with Chujiu.

Chujiu said: "The emperor summoned me?"

"Ah."

What did the emperor summon him for?

Normally, the emperor would only look for Tang An and Yi Rui when there was something going on. Why would he suddenly look for him today?

Thinking about it, I felt a little uneasy, "Then shall I tell my master?"

"No need, it's not a big deal." He didn't see Chujiu or Xie Yunchu just now.

Besides, the emperor said he wanted to summon Chujiu, not Xie Yunchu, so there was no need to look for Xie Yunchu.

Chujiu had no choice but to nod and left Yime Garden with Tang An.

In front of the Imperial Study Room.

Chujiu hesitated a bit and looked at Tang An, "Are you really okay?" He felt a little flustered.

Tang An smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Yi Rui said, "Go in quickly. The emperor can't eat you."

After hearing what Aunt Yirui said, Chujiu finally felt relieved and went in.

When Xiao Yao heard the footsteps, she did not look up, but continued to review the remaining memorials of the day.

Until the ninth day of the first lunar month, people kneel down and pay their respects.

She put down her pen and realized that she should have taken all the memorials to the Imperial Observatory today.

"Get up."

Chujiu stood up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I wonder why you summoned me?"

Xiao Yao said: "Yun Chu said that you told A Ying a lot about the things between me and Yun Chu."

"what--"

Chujiu fell to his knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, your servant, your servant——" It was not that he was wronged.

Sure enough, nothing good happened.

Seeing his cowardly look, Xiao Yao stood up and said, "Get up and answer the question."

Chujiu looked up and saw the emperor walking towards the kang, so he had to get up and follow him hunched over.

"You are so scared of me, no matter what I do, I can't eat you. I just need to confirm something with you and ask you to do something for me."

After Chujiu walked to the kang, he continued to kneel down, "As per the emperor's order, I will do my best."

She has followed Xie Yunchu for so many years, and she is not a vicious person. Why is Chujiu so afraid of her?

Chujiu was sweating profusely. If he told others about the emperor and his master, it would be a capital crime. How could he not be afraid?

Kneeling down with a proper attitude, even if it was for the sake of the master, it might help the emperor vent some of his anger, "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Xiao Yao sat on the kang and looked at Chujiu and asked, "Did Yunchu tell you about the peach blossom hairpin?"

Chujiu was confused, his eyes were clear, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"No one is allowed to tell what I said to you today, even Yun Chu - if he asks, I will explain it to him clearly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chujiu's heart trembled more and more. He couldn't even tell his master?

Then he——

Isn't that very unfair to the master?

If that's the case, why not die to prove his integrity?

No, no, no, the person the master cares about most is the emperor.

The emperor is also his master, so it doesn’t count as betrayal, right?

He still has to be alive. If he dies, the master will be alone in this world. If he gets sad, who will comfort him?

Xiao Yao had no idea that Chujiu had already moved his head out, and only said: "Before Rong Jianzheng left the capital, he calculated for His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and found that His Royal Highness Prince Chen still had a predestined relationship, so he gave him the peach blossom hairpin."

"Duke Xie's mansion, Miss Xie Ying, wore a white jade peach blossom hairpin on her birthday. Do you know about this?"

Chujiu's mind turned and an idea flashed, "Your Majesty, I know about this matter."

It is no secret that Prince Chen and the eldest daughter both have peach blossom hairpins.

Moreover, the master had more or less told him that he must invite the eldest lady to the plum blossom viewing banquet. Not only that, he also had to find a way to send the eldest lady to the island in the middle of the lake.

Who is on the island in the middle of the lake?

At the plum blossom viewing banquet, those noble ladies did not see His Royal Highness Prince Chen, but the eldest lady did.

It can be seen that the master wants to bring the eldest lady and His Royal Highness Prince Chen together.

And now, the emperor also said this -

The clear eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty, you, you are saying that His Royal Highness Prince Chen's true love is Miss Xie Ying?"

Xiao Yao smiled and said, not that stupid.

In other words, Chujiu was Xie Yunchu's confidant. How could Chujiu not know that Xie Yunchu wanted to match Xie Ying with his elder brother?

Why did she want to find Chujiu alone today?

After all, Xie Yunchu is Xie Ying's elder brother, so there are some words and things that are inappropriate for him to do.

It’s just like, although the emperor valued Xie Yunchu at the beginning, he was not enthusiastic enough to personally teach Xie Yunchu how to win his heart?

The reason is the same.

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Chen and Xie Ying are destined to be together, but my brother is calm and has lived in the Imperial Observatory for a long time. Even if the matchmaker comes to help, it may be useless. So, I have to find you for this matter."

Chujiu felt a little embarrassed, as if he was very important.

When Xiao Yao asked him to stand up again, Chujiu did not insist on kneeling. After standing up, Chujiu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I think the master also hopes that Miss Xie Ying and His Royal Highness Prince Chen will be happy."

"Yun Chu agreed to my understanding. What I am talking about is how to continue this relationship—"

Chujiu rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness Prince Chen is a man of high character and integrity, and he is not tainted by the mundane world."

Xiao Yao nodded.

Chujiu continued: "Although the eldest lady lives in the mundane world, she is also a lady from a noble family and has her own modesty."

With a snap, Xiao Yao clapped her hands in approval. Chujiu was indeed smart: Yes, then what do you say?

Chujiu smiled, with a bit of flattery, "I have thought of a way, that is - after I tell you, I hope the emperor will forgive me first -"

"Just tell me."

"Your Majesty, please do not be angry with your master."

Xiao Yao frowned. How could it be related to Xie Yunchu?

But he still nodded. No matter how excessive Xie Yunchu was, it wouldn't be too much.

Chujiu was relieved, "Your Majesty, before the master officially became the emperor's husband, he was always worried about gains and losses, especially the emperor. The emperor said that if His Royal Highness Prince Chen did not leave the Imperial Observatory and did not get married, the emperor would not let the master get on the emperor's dragon bed."

As he spoke, Chujiu's voice became smaller and smaller, so small that his body seemed to be ready to kneel down and apologize immediately if the emperor got angry.

"What else?" Xiao Yao asked calmly. It was just a small matter, so she wouldn't get angry.

Chujiu said: "No, no more, this is what I want to talk about."

Is that all?

Xiao Yao didn't feel angry. Instead, she felt a little - a little happy that Xie Yunchu actually cared about her casual words for so long.

He really is - kind of cute.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry at all and seemed to be in a good mood, Chujiu continued, "This matter made the master very worried at the time, and I was also very anxious."

"After returning to the Duke's Mansion, the eldest lady saw that the master was in a bad mood, so she came to me. I thought that the eldest lady was not an outsider, so I spoke without restraint - I said what the emperor said to the master."
