Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 54 - The Empress is Coming
54: Chapter 54 The Empress is Coming
54 -54 The Empress is Coming
After talking to herself, the woman got up, dressed neatly, and then left the room heading towards the horse stable in the backyard.
Although horse riding is not allowed in the Imperial Palace, Chen Baicheng still brought his beloved horse inside.
He would ride around the Outer City on normal days to showcase his uniqueness, thereby establishing his authority.
However, what he never anticipated was that this war horse could not only establish his authority but also gift him a colorful helmet.
And it was that kind of helmet full of the essence of spring.
The pitch-black war horse leisurely grazing in the stable suddenly snorted loudly, stopped eating, and excitedly began to prance in place.
At the same time, a soft giggle arose beside it:
“You beast, look how anxious you are.
Hehehe, isn’t this an extra treat for you?”
…
If there’s one thing to say about ancient society, it’s that servants have it the toughest.
Just like under the bright moonlight at this moment, someone is still washing clothes.
Moreover, in ancient society, there were no washing machines, only large mallets.
Usually, people would take their clothes to the water and then beat them vigorously with these large mallets.
And those who know what they are doing with washing, use particularly large mallets.
These mallets, used daily, had long worn out and turned pitch black.
The thick-as-one’s-forearm mallet thudding on the damp clothes made loud squelching sounds.
Those who use such a mallet aren’t afraid of damaging the clothes, as getting them clean is most important.
…
Let’s not dwell on the Maid’s hardships; after all, they are taken care of by the divine harmony, so no need to worry.
Let’s just talk about Lin Yi.
After completing the tasks assigned to him, he returned to the Imperial Study Room to report.
But when he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the young Emperor had not yet returned.
Lin Yi, who had been busy all day, was already ravenously hungry.
Seeing that there were pastries on the young Emperor’s desk, he helped himself without hesitation.
It was at this moment that with a creak, the door opened, and the young Emperor walked in leisurely.
After seeing the scene in the Imperial Study Room, he paused, and then, unexpectedly, showed no anger.
Instead, watching Lin Yi wolfing down the food, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
That laugh completely stupefied Lin Yi.
With his mouth full of pastries, he forgot to chew, a single thought running through his mind:
[This lassie has such a beautiful laugh…]
Hearing the words in Lin Yi’s mind, the young Emperor’s face turned slightly red, and to mask the awkwardness, he immediately waved to a nearby eunuch:
“Quickly, go to the Imperial Kitchen and fetch some tasty food for young Lin.”
The eunuch bowed and quickly retreated.
At this moment, Lin Yi, also feeling a bit embarrassed, gave a sheepish smile and then swallowed the pastries in his mouth.
But perhaps he was too hasty because he suddenly choked.
These pastries, not only mediocre in taste but also extremely choking to eat, instantly made Lin Yi’s eyes roll back.
This was somewhat unexpected.
Even the young Emperor was startled.
Hastily quickened his steps and raised his hand, ready to slap Lin Yi.
Seeing this, Lin Yi, while choking, hurriedly stepped back to dodge the little Emperor’s slap.
Joking, this girl is skilled in Martial Arts, and seeing her panicky look, obviously, she could not control her strength well.
If she slapped him, he might even be choked or beaten to death.
As he stepped back, Lin Yi finally spotted his savior, a delicate porcelain cup with a cup of water inside.
Seeing this, Lin Yi did not hesitate to grab it and gulped it down.
With this cup of water down his throat, the suffocating feeling immediately eased.
While heaving a sigh of relief, he patted his chest to catch his breath.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but smack his lips and wonder to himself,
“Eh?
This water tastes quite nice, it has a sweet flavor.”
However, when he looked up at the little Emperor, he saw that the little Emperor’s face was already flushed red.
Even his ears were thoroughly reddened.
Then, under Lin Yi’s puzzled gaze, the little Emperor snatched the porcelain cup from Lin Yi’s hand and tucked it under the desk.
‘This scoundrel, how could he, how dare he drink this water…’
“Darn, little Emperor, you’re so petty, just over a cup of water, really…”
Lin Yi’s thoughts only further embarrassed the little Emperor.
However, amidst this awkward atmosphere, suddenly a eunuch’s voice announced from outside:
“Your Majesty, the Empress’s Maid requests an audience.”
This statement somewhat calmed down the little Emperor who was itching to beat up the scoundrel, Lin Yi.
Shaking his head vigorously to banish the image of Lin Yi drinking the water from his mind, he then ordered the eunuch to let the Maid enter.
Then came the sound of footsteps, and a Maid dressed as a female official walked in cautiously with her head lowered.
She then bowed deeply to the little Emperor:
“Your servant greets Your Majesty.”
However, looking at the Maid, Lin Yi was first startled, then quickly remembered something.
Isn’t Xiao Xiao still in his room?
During the match, he injured her; it might be hard for her to recover, right?
What about her duty tonight?
Will she be punished?
“Rise, what does the Empress require of you?”
The little Emperor, who had cleared his head, regained his composure and looked at the Empress’s Maid below, wondering if the Empress wants him to come over tonight. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
What should he do?
How should he handle this?
Thinking this, his gaze involuntarily swept over to Lin Yi.
And apparently sensing the little Emperor’s gaze, Lin Yi also subconsciously looked at the little Emperor.
Their eyes met, and Lin Yi immediately guessed what the little Emperor was thinking.
In that instant, Lin Yi became excited.
Thinking of the Empress’s stunning beauty, his face was uncontrollably elated.
In contrast, seeing Lin Yi’s excited expression, the little Emperor’s face turned exceedingly pale.
Internally, he cursed this scoundrel thoroughly.
However, at the same time, the Maid’s voice appropriately rose, directly breaking both of their thoughts:
“Returning to Your Majesty, the Empress asked this servant to convey that Your Majesty works hard for the nation every day, this servant does not dare to delay Your Majesty, hence tonight, this servant shall accompany Your Majesty in the Imperial Study Room to rest.”
