23 Chapter 23: Donst look in fron (1/2)

”Greetings to Imperial Consort.” He immediately greeted Feng Lei with due respect deserving of her rank.

The small eunuch following him helped Xiao Wang Xi and Jiang Chen to his side. Eyeing the two unrepresentable looks, Xiao Yuan Xi wanted to stomp his foot in anger.

”May this servant ask what happened?” Xiao Yuan Xi respectfully asked.

With a 'hmp', Feng Lei ignore the head eunuch of the empress' palace, clearly showing her lack of regard towards Wei Yi Yi.

”Head Eunuch---” Xiao Wang Xi tried to speak up only to be block by Eunuch Yuan.

It was Shen Rou who came forward. ”Eunuch Wang was slacking on his job and neglected the prince. Not only it cause a commotion but others got injured as well, including the prince himself. Our mistress was only teaching the small eunuch his lessons as he was lacking.”

Finishing with a graceful bow, the maidservant returned to her mistress side.

Xiao Yuan Xi frustration raise up but as a servant, he dare not show it in the surface. It was more important to save the situation from escalating.

As long as he is the head eunuch of Xiang Feng Palace, it is his duty to ensure that nothing could shake his mistress's foundation.

Mistakes are not allowed! He will protect his mistress at all cost!

”Apologies Imperial Consort Feng. The servants weren't able to do their job properly. May your ladyship show mercy. Please excuse this servant. We will take the little prince back right now.” Xiao Yuan Xi decided to step back. He dare not mention the empress nor Jiang Chen being sheltered by her.

”Didn't you see bengong servant got injured?! Put a leash on the brat less he cause another incident!” With the servant showing his 'back', it only boost Feng Lei's dominance; like a tigres intimidating it's prey.

”Please calm your anger Niang niang. It was this servant's neglect that this happened. We will give you a proper answer.” Xiao Yuan Xi only bow more deeply in repentance.

”Punished him accordingly!” With a flick of her sleeves, Feng Lei returned to her own palace, her maidservants following closely behind. When Shen Rou past Xiao Wang Xi, she did not forget to give a sheepish smile.

”What are you all looking at? Return to your work!” Dispersing the crowd, Xiao Yuan Xi took hold of Jiang Chen and returned to Xiang Feng palace with a fast pace. Jiang Chen did not struggle.

Xiao Wang Xi immediately run after them. ”Eunuch Yuan, they are----”

”Just what are you doing! Is watching over a child that hard!” Suddenly stopping, Jiang Chen collides with Xiao Yuan Xi. ”Take him away!”

Without another word, the small eunuchs under Xiao Yuan Xi step closer to Xiao Wang Xi.

Panic finally engulfed Jiang Chen when he saw them trying to separate his manservant with him. Only speaking now, he struggles as he shouted, ”It's not his fault! Xiao Wang is my servant! You cannot dismiss him!”
