After all, Xiao Gui had just entered the palace. Although he had already taught him this, in the end, he still lacked experience, and this was the first time he had met Yuwen Di face to face. If he spoke the wrong words, then as his master, he would still have to take responsibility.
Sending Xiao Gui Zi into the Imperial Study to call for Yuwen Di to eat, was not only because the Eunuch Li did not dare to disturb Yuwen Di, but also to train Xiao Gui.
Every palace maid and eunuch that was selected by the Eunuch Li to serve beside Yuwen Di, Eunuch Li had investigated their families before. When this group of eunuchs entered the palace, for some reason, Eunuch Li had fallen for Xiao Gui at first glance, as he had the nagging feeling that this young child was not simple at all.
Later on, after investigation, he found out that Xiao Gui had chosen to enter the palace for the sake of saving his mother. Such a reason was common, but Xiao Gui was different.
Maybe it was because he was moved by Xiao Gui Zi's feelings for his younger sister, or maybe it was because their experiences were interlinked that caused Eunuch Li to think about him. In the end, Eunuch Li left Xiao Gui by his side and decided to focus on nurturing him. What the Eunuch Li could do for Xiao Gui now was to teach him how to be a good eunuch, how to serve his master, and how to live his life in the palace. As for whether or not he could reach the status he had hoped for, it would all depend on his luck.
Eunuch Li was impatiently waiting, afraid that Xiao Gui's words in front of Yuwen Di would make Yuwen Di unhappy. Just as he was about to enter the Imperial Study to speak up for him and save his life, he saw Xiao Gui walking out of the Imperial Study calmly.
Although Eunuch Li was very worried about his new disciple, only a strict teacher could produce a good disciple. For now, Eunuch Li did not plan to let Xiao Gui Zi know how important he was to him, so that he would not bully him.
Eunuch Li went up and scolded Xiao Gui, "You can't even do such a small thing properly. If this happens again in the future, you don't have to do this anymore. You might as well go and guard the Cold Palace."
He had entered the palace for the sake of becoming the king's favorite person. This way, he would be able to find a way for his family to survive, and if he was sent to guard the Cold Palace, not to mention that his own future was hopeless, even his family's food would be gone. This was not what he wanted to see.
Although he was still dissatisfied, Xiao Gui was just a newbie who had just entered the palace. He had no one to rely on in this huge palace, and the only person he could rely on was this Eunuch Li who was speaking ill of him.
Eunuch Li was the most capable eunuch in front of Yuwen Di. After serving him for many years, even the concubines of the harem had to take care of him and give him presents. They hoped that he would mention them in front of Yuwen Di. Although the Eunuch Li had never received these gifts before, didn't this also show his position in front of Yuwen Di? Therefore, Xiao Gui could only curry favor with the Eunuch Li, otherwise, he would not be able to survive in this palace.
"Master, I am the fool. His Majesty ordered the servants to prepare dinner. Master, if you want to scold Xiao Gui, you can wait until tonight. His Majesty has sent me to call Thirteenth Princess over right now. "
Since it was Yuwen Di's orders, then there was nothing more important than this, Eunuch Li had no choice but to release him.
"In this palace, a servant is a servant. How dare you call yourself 'I'? You sure have guts. Since you have the orders of the king, it's not good to punish you now. Go to the Red Luan Palace first and invite the Thirteenth Princess over. When you return, I will properly teach you how to behave in this palace so that you won't break the rules. Also, when meeting the Thirteenth Princess, the first thing you need to do is to bow, and be respectful when you speak to the princess. "Alright, hurry up and go."
Eunuch Li was still soft-hearted. If it was in the past, how could he say so much under such circumstances? He only felt bad for Xiao Gui's background and hoped that he could be on guard against him and watch out for him in the future.
"This servant will invite the Thirteenth Princess now." Xiao Guizi thought that after the Eunuch Li bowed, he headed in the direction of the Red Luan Palace.
Although he had just entered the palace, he had a good sense of direction since he was young. This might have something to do with him following his father up the mountain to chop firewood. On the first day they entered the palace, the eunuch in charge led them through the entire palace. At that time, Xiao Gui had already memorized the locations of each palace.
However, he remembered Red Luan Palace extremely well. "This is Thirteenth Princess's chamber, Red Luan Palace. Thirteenth Princess is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty, and if you can serve in the Thirteenth Princess in the future, that would be your fortune."
At that time, they did not know which palace they would be assigned to. Xiao Gui only wanted to serve Yuwen Di.
Upon hearing the name of the Red Luan Palace, Xiao Gui felt that the person living inside must not be a simple person. Although he had never read a book, but hearing such a grand name like the Red Luan Palace, the person living inside must be very favoured. The words of the eunuch who led them were just as he had thought.
Throughout the journey, Xiao Gui kept thinking about the Eunuch Li's words. Xiao Gui felt that Eunuch Li was a very contradictory person. He was clearly cursing at him one second ago, saying that he would punish him the next.
Although as a master, Eunuch Li did indeed have to tell Xiao Gui this, Xiao Gui still felt that the Eunuch Li was not like how it seemed on the surface. Xiao Gui still couldn't figure it out, but when he understood the Eunuch Li's intentions, his heart was filled with gratitude towards the Eunuch Li.
Thinking about all these, time flew by very quickly. Red Luan Palace wasn't too far away, and very quickly, Xiao Gui arrived at the entrance of Red Luan Palace.
Looking at the huge words "Red Luan Palace" on the signboard, Xiao Gui suddenly stopped moving. He did not know why, but he stopped right in front of the entrance of the Red Luan Palace.
Coincidentally, Xiao Ya was about to take the pastries that Duan Yunfei specified and return to Red Luan Palace when she saw Xiao Gui, who was at the door.
"What are you doing here sneaking around?" Xiao Ya had never met Xiao Gui before, and when she thought about the enmity Duan Liusu had towards Duan Yunfei, she was afraid that she was sent by Duan Liusu.
"Elder sister, don't misunderstand, this servant is the one sent by the emperor to invite the Thirteenth Princess."
