21: Chapter 21: The Arrogant Rituals Office Eunuch 21: Chapter 21: The Arrogant Rituals Office Eunuch Editor: Henyee Translations After saying that, his hands unconsciously twitched, further confirming the idea in his heart.
No doubt, this little palace maid was definitely lying, really not small at all.
Then, when the little palace maid’s delicate little face almost started dripping with water, Lin Yi chuckled mischievously and immediately strode towards the room.
Leaving the little palace maid stomping her feet in frustration:
“Hmph, you shameless bad egg, not so skilled yet so wicked, truly annoying.”
Muttering to herself, she quickly stepped away to attend to her own matters.
Speaking of Lin Yi, as soon as he walked into the room, he saw the little Emperor with a gloomy face and the Empress lazily hiding in the bedding on the Phoenix Bed behind him.
Immediately, Lin Yi’s mind conjured up the indescribably perfect capital of the Empress.
Instantly striking like an eagle spreading its wings.
This made him hurriedly bow his body.
Fortunately, such a behavior, in the eyes of the Empress, was already normal.
After all, in this Imperial Palace, the little eunuchs all bend over and bow deeply when they see their masters.
Just then, the voice of the little Emperor came at the right time.
Moreover, Lin Yi, at this moment, was completely observed by the little Emperor.
The Empress might think this was normal, but the little Emperor was very clear about it, silently cursing in his heart but showing no extra expression on his face.
Fortunately, it was Lin Yi who helped the little Emperor undress yesterday, so even though there were some hitches this time, he didn’t fail to dress him.
However, when it came time to comb his hair, Lin Yi really couldn’t do it properly.
“If you can’t even comb hair, what do I need you for?
From now on, go to the Rituals Office, and don’t come back until you’ve learned how to groom properly.”
After saying this, the little Emperor seemed to remember something and added:
“Study well, set aside your thoughts, I will have someone watching you all the time.
Now, go and send someone else in.”
After saying these words, he ignored Lin Yi, leaving him standing there helplessly.
Meanwhile, in the little Emperor’s mind, Lin Yi’s complaint emerged:
Threatening me as well?
If I weren’t weaker than you, I’d pin you down and beat you with a club!
Hmph, if I’d known, I should have collected some interest from your wife last night.
Alas, circumstances overpower personal wishes, considering you offered me your wife, I won’t stoop to your level today…”
“Darn it, little Emperor, are you actually PMSing?
Why the sudden change of face?”
Just as the little Emperor was about to step forward, Lin Yi finally scurried out of the room.
This scene also stunned the other palace maids and eunuchs present.
Even the Empress watched the two with confusion.
They really couldn’t understand the relationship between these two.
It seemed the Emperor got angry, but he didn’t actually punish the little eunuch.
This was indeed quite strange.
After all, if it had been any other eunuch who had angered His Majesty the Emperor so greatly, he would have likely been dragged out and beheaded by now.
Of course, the happiest one among them was Yu’er.
When she saw Lin Yi being scolded by the Emperor, she couldn’t be more delighted.
After all, in Yu’er’s heart, this fellow had stolen her position.
It wasn’t until after Lin Yi had left that the young Emperor finally let out a long sigh.
In just the short time while he was changing his clothes, he had fantasized about himself and the Empress more than a dozen times each.
Not only that, he even fantasized about every single one of the palace maids around him.
This nearly made the young Emperor have someone send him directly to the purification office.
After castrating him, let’s see if he continues to think about those messy things all day long.
Now back to Lin Yi, as soon as he left the room, someone was assigned to escort him to the Rituals Office.
However, this person happened to be his ‘old acquaintance’, Xiao Xiao.
Seeing the palace maid leading the way with her head down, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.
Then, under Xiao Xiao’s shocked gaze, he reached out and grabbed her small hand, and quickly spoke up before she could struggle:
“Miss Xiao Xiao, I’ve just arrived at the Imperial Palace, unfamiliar with places and afraid of getting lost.
If I were to go the wrong place and anger someone I shouldn’t, I might lose my head.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao was clearly stunned, and then looking at her hand tightly held by Lin Yi, her face was full of conflict:
“But, but, if people see this, we’ll both be punished.”
“Hehe, don’t worry, Miss Xiao Xiao.
I’ll put your hand in my embrace, this way no one will see us holding hands.”
With that said, this shameless fellow directly stuffed the palace maid’s hand into his embrace.
This move scared the palace maid even more.
She hurriedly struggled free from Lin Yi’s grasp and quickly moved ahead while lowering her head.
This scene made Lin Yi chuckle mischievously and then he quickened his pace, catching up to the palace maid:
“Miss Xiao Xiao, wait for me.
If you feel it’s inappropriate in my embrace, how about I place my hand in yours instead…”
Of course, this was just a small interlude.
The distance from Anning Palace to the Rituals Office wasn’t too far, after about only ten minutes of walking, they arrived at a courtyard with a sign of the Rituals Office.
Eunuch Lin, could you please take out, take out your hand…”
Listening to her softly pleading voice, Lin Yi finally chuckled and let go of her hand.
Then he pinched Xiao Xiao’s face a bit before striding towards the entrance of the Rituals Office.
This caused Xiao Xiao to stamp her foot in frustration, and her little mouth puckered up.
As Lin Yi just stepped into the Rituals Office gate, he saw two small eunuchs coming his way.
They then stood in front of him, one glance at Lin Yi and they arrogantly said:
“Who is this with such audacity?
What brings you to our Rituals Office?”
The reason for their arrogance was entirely because of Lin Yi’s outfit, which was the lowest rank of eunuch clothes.
In this Imperial Palace, everything appears harmonious on the surface, but the hidden struggles are very dark.
Especially the high-grade eunuchs, when dealing with low-grade eunuchs, they don’t even treat them as human beings.
As Lin Yi frowned at their attitude, Xiao Xiao hurriedly followed in.
