Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying did not give the eunuch Gui Gong a backdoor. Eunuch Gui waited for a long time in a nearby teahouse before Xiao Anzi bought all the pastries on the first floor of a cake shop. The two of them returned to the palace carrying large and small bags of pastries.

But Xiao Anzi, who was accompanying him, was not very satisfied with this trip. Given their status in the palace, even the prince had to be respectful to them, not to mention the officials in the court.

This time, Lu Ziren clearly knew that their identities were different, but he still made them line up with these lower-class civilians. Was he looking down on them?

"Master, after we return to the palace, do we have to report to His Majesty about how Lu Ziren treated us?" Xiao Anzi said indignantly.

After all, Xiao Anzi grew up in the palace. Even though he was angry, he complained to his master, hoping that his master would decide how to avenge Lu Ziren.

If after today, he is discovered by Eunuch Gui for venting his personal anger, it will cause trouble for him and his master. As the saying goes, we prosper together and we suffer together.

"Originally I wanted to tell His Majesty that I felt disappointed by Lu Ziren's treatment of me. But if we tell the emperor about this, and he sends people to investigate, knowing that this was originally our fault and our status in the palace, he will definitely be more wary of us. By then, we will be not far from death. Not only can we not say that Lu Ziren is bad, we should also say that he is good."

Eunuch Gui frowned slightly. Even though he was still indignant in his heart, he still persuaded Xiao Anzi not to make things difficult for Lu Ziren.

After hearing what Eunuch Gui said, Xiao Anzi's anger instantly exploded.

"Master, since Lu Ziren has treated us like this, why should we still speak well of him in front of the emperor and flatter him?"

"Child, don't you understand the current situation? The emperor obviously trusts Lu Ziren. If I say something bad about Lu Ziren in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely think that I might be on the side of the crown prince or the side of the sixth prince. Then what about my life?

You, you are too honest and superficial, which is why I dare not entrust some important things to you. You should pay attention and learn more. When I am old and gone, you will not be calculated by others in the future. "Gui Gonggong looked at Xiao Anzi and said earnestly.

Xiao Anzi has a good personality, but he is always confused on some issues that require careful consideration. Now he can still take care of Xiao Anzi for a few more years, but when he gets older and no longer has the power around him, Xiao Anzi will probably be eaten alive by those jackals and tigers in the palace.

"Xiao Anzi, after all, we are just servants serving the emperor. General Lu is a meritorious official who helps the emperor relieve his worries. Even if you hate him, you should consider his importance in the emperor's heart. If a minister you favor is talked about by a servant beside you, how would you feel? Think about the reason behind this."

Eunuch Gui didn't say much, just made a few remarks, sighed heavily, took Xiao Anzi into the carriage, and the two returned to the palace.

After hearing what Eunuch Gui said, Xiao Anzi broke out in cold sweat.

He knew he was wrong. Eunuch Gui had explained it in enough detail. If he still didn't understand, he would be as stupid as a pig.

"Thank you for your advice, Master. I have taken note of it and will never argue over such matters again."

Xiao Anzi's mood gradually calmed down and he regained his previous rationality. He walked into the house carrying a full food box.

In the imperial study, another eunuch, Eunuch Wang, who served the emperor, was sent out by the emperor to see Eunuch Gui. Why hadn't he come yet?

The main reason is that Eunuch Gui has been out for too long.

The emperor thought that he would be able to eat the cakes bought from Lu Ziren's cake shop not long after he finished his court session, but he waited for a long time, almost an hour, and still no cake came. He became so angry that he waited so long.

But he was not idle either. He was in the imperial study, reviewing memorials from the ground.

Finally, it was almost time for lunch when Eunuch Gui came with Xiao Anzi.

When Eunuch Wang, who was serving the emperor, saw Eunuch Gui coming, he immediately went to meet him, got close to Eunuch Gui, and said in a voice that both of them could hear: "Eunuch Gui, the emperor has been waiting for you, but you didn't come. He is a little irritable today, so be careful when you go in later."

The eunuch Wang who was speaking had also been serving the emperor since he was a child, but his qualifications were not as high as Eunuch Gui. The emperor always liked to use Eunuch Gui, so only when Eunuch Gui went out to do business would Eunuch Wang take over.

Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Gui also had a good relationship. Usually when the emperor sent Eunuch Gui out to do something, it was Eunuch Lin who would go forward to serve the emperor. The two of them kept in touch with each other and could be said to be mutually beneficial partners.

"Okay, old friend, but until the emperor issues an order, I will treat you to a delicious meal when I have time." Eunuch Gui was not the kind of person who was ignorant of the ways of the world. Eunuch Wang had helped him a lot this time, so he wanted to treat Eunuch Wang to a meal.

But Eunuch Wang wanted other things in Eunuch Gui's hands more, such as the blue and white longevity and moon-shaped vase that Eunuch Gui got last time, which he liked very much.

"To be honest, there's no need for us to have a meal. It's just that I really like the blue and white longevity and moon-embracing vase you got last time. I originally wanted to buy it with a large sum of money, but you collected it first." Although Eunuch Wang looked embarrassed when he said this, his eyes were the same as before, and his eyes were full of possessiveness. He didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"I just happen to not like the blue and white longevity and moon-shaped vase that I got. I will send someone to deliver it to you later." Eunuch Gui said.

The smile on Eunuch Wang's face grew bigger and bigger, but he kept saying he was sorry.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Although the blue and white longevity moon-shaped vase is expensive, it is not as important as "friendship" and life.

Because Eunuch Gui was busy reporting to his superiors, he did not chat with Eunuch Wang for long. After exchanging information about the emperor's mood at the moment, Eunuch Gui sighed and went into the imperial study with his little apprentice Xiao Anzi.

"Your Majesty, I have bought all the cakes that can be bought from a cake shop. Please enjoy them, Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard Eunuch Gui's voice, he slowly raised his head, with obvious anger flashing in his eyes.

Eunuch Gui and Xiao Anzi beside him suddenly felt a chill in the air, which spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. They felt extremely depressed and did not dare to breathe.

But Eunuch Gui had experienced big scenes, and he was well-versed in dealing with such scenes.

But he also felt insecure.

After all, competing with the emperor in wits and courage is like hanging your head on your waist, and if you are not careful you may really go to see the King of Hell.

But we still have to do what we have to do. How can we know if we can change the emperor’s attitude if we don’t try?

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Today, I waited for a long time in front of General Lu's pastry shop. Their pastry business is so good that almost everyone in the capital has gone there. Xiao Anzi and I waited in a long line there and waited for a long time before we could buy our pastries. So we wasted some time and affected Your Majesty's use of pastries. It is really our fault. This is my greatest sin. Please punish me severely." "Please vote"
