From Eunuch to Eminence: Aiden's Tale Chapter 7

The next few days were peaceful.

Although Vivienne Guan was always confused, she looked at Aiden Shao more often.

But the more she looked at Aiden Shao, the more uneasy Aiden Shao felt, and even Ruyi's resentment towards Aiden Shao grew.

In addition to Ruyi, there is another person, Su Zhongjie, the eunuch chief around the queen, who also has a grudge against Aiden Shao.

"Miss Ruyi, tell me what I did not do well enough to make the Empress dislike me so much. Why doesn't she need me to serve her anymore?" If it weren't for his identity as the chief eunuch of the Cining Palace, Su Zhongjie would have wanted to squat on the ground and draw circles.

Ruyi also disliked Aiden Shao: "Recently, she has even taken over my work. When I wanted to pour tea for the queen yesterday, I found that there was still water in the queen's cup, and it was still the perfect temperature for drinking."

"That eunuch is indeed full of tricks. No wonder he is favored by the emperor."

"We don't know when he used those methods."

Su Zhongjie was also a carefree person. When he heard Ruyi calling other eunuchs castrated, he did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, he felt refreshed.

In his opinion, he, the eunuch, and Aiden Shao, the eunuch, must be different eunuchs. After all, Miss Zhengyi had never scolded him like that.

As the two men were talking about their common hatred for the enemy, they heard some noise behind them. They turned around and saw that it was the eunuch they were talking about, Aiden Shao.

They didn't know if he heard what they said just now, and they both felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

After a moment, Ruyi's face turned cold again: "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to serve the Empress?"

Aiden Shao lowered her head slightly. Although she lowered her voice deliberately, it was still a bit softer than the eunuch Su next to her: "The Queen Mother asked Eunuch Su to come in."

Su Zhongjie immediately felt like a serf singing a song of liberation.

This was the moment when he finally defeated this outsider and regained his position as the chief eunuch!

He looked up, looking particularly arrogant, yet he still nodded politely: "Please tell Eunuch Shao that I will go over right away."

His look clearly said: See, the Queen still doesn't appreciate your service. Only I, Su Zhongjie, can be of any use to the Queen.

He walked into the hall with small steps like a rooster that had just finished crowing.

In the courtyard of the main hall of Kunning Palace, only Ruyi and Aiden Shao were left.

Ruyi glared at Aiden Shao again, only to find that Aiden Shao was even more dazzling than usual in the sunlight.

His skin was originally fair, and it was even whiter in the sunlight, as if it was transparent, like the most precious glass, sparkling in the sun, but it had to be held carefully in the hands, because if it accidentally fell to the ground, it would surely be shattered into pieces.

His vague sense of brokenness actually made Ruyi feel a little pity for him.

Ruyi felt a chill in her heart for a moment, thinking that this man was really cunning and could even seduce her unintentionally and make her feel sorry for him.

Maybe she is a reincarnated fox spirit, always using those seductive means to seduce people.

Aiden Shao coughed lightly, pointed to the top of her head, and said to Ruyi: "A leaf fell on your head."

Ruyi was stunned.

Aiden Shao added: "It's golden yellow, but it looks nice, like a flower. Maybe other people didn't notice it."

For some reason, when Ruyi heard him say that the fallen leaves on her head looked like flowers and that they were beautiful, she felt her ears getting hot and red.

She didn't know why this happened. At that moment, she didn't dare to look into Aiden Shao's eyes. She felt that his eyes were like the rippling water on a lake.

Ruyi turned around, raised her hand and touched her head twice, and sure enough, she touched a leaf. She took it down and saw that it was really golden and very beautiful.

Ruyi now understood why the emperor liked this eunuch so much.

He seemed really different from other eunuchs. When he spoke to himself, his voice was not so sharp, but it was not as deep and rich as those of men. Instead, it was slightly hoarse and very gentle, like the gurgling hot spring water flowing through his heart.

It just so happens that he is so handsome, it is actually very easy for such a person to be liked by others.

Ruyi felt a little annoyed.

She can't be deceived by this eunuch. She wants to be the strongest support for the queen.

Aiden Shao stood in the distance, half-closing her eyes, feeling the gentle autumn sunshine falling on her.

This was a rare moment of leisure for her.

In fact, she felt more comfortable in the Queen's palace than with the Emperor.

Who would like to endure S3xual harassment from the boss while on duty at work?

In the palace, Su Zhongjie came to the queen's side with a flattering smile on his face: "What is the matter, Your Majesty, that you have summoned me?"

The queen looked up at the eunuch who had followed her for quite some time, her gaze slowly moving down from his face to his chest.

Su Zhongjie felt the Queen's gaze and felt a little uneasy for a moment.

He even had the urge to put his hands in front of his chest.

But the person in front of him is the queen, and he is the queen's servant. No matter what the queen wants, he should just bear it.

What's more, he felt that the queen would not have any improper thoughts about him.

Su Zhongjie also had some self-awareness and thought that he had no means to attract the queen.

But just as he was trying to excuse the queen, the queen beckoned him over and raised her delicate white and soft left hand: "Tell me, is being a eunuch any different from other men?"

Su Zhongjie was already an old man in the palace, and he did not harbor any resentment towards his master because of these facts. He even thought that his master was just teasing him.

He lowered his head and said to the queen in a joking tone: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? We eunuchs are of course different from ordinary men."

The queen still couldn't dispel her doubts, and pointed at his chest: "Will the chest be different?"

Su Zhongjie even reflected for a moment before he understood what the queen meant.

Men's chest is not as soft as women's.

Some guards train their chests to be bulging, but the feel should be different from that of women.

Su Zhongjie didn't know what the queen meant by this question, but he answered truthfully: "There won't be any changes in the chests of servants. They should not be much different from ordinary men."

Facing this eunuch who had taken care of her for ten years, Vivienne Guan certainly would not feel shy.

She waved her hand, asking Su Zhongjie to come to her, then raised her index finger and poked the eunuch's chest.

Su Zhongjie was like a cat with its whiskers pulled out, with all the hair standing on end. He was about to jump away in the next second, but when he saw the phoenix hairpin on Vivienne Guan's head, he stopped.

He held his breath, his face flushed, and allowed the queen to poke at his chest.

Of course he would not misunderstand that the Queen had some feelings for him. He was a eunuch and not good-looking. He had taken care of the Queen for ten years and the Queen had never had any unusual thoughts about him. How could he make the Queen look at him differently now?

The queen looked solemn.

It seemed like she was studying some important matters regarding managing the harem at this moment.

Vivienne Guan withdrew her hand without even looking at Su Zhongjie, and waved to let him leave.

Su Zhongjie ran away in small steps like a bullied young wife.

Vivienne Guan looked down at the fingers that she had just poked at Su Zhongjie's chest.

The touch is different.

Logically speaking, Aiden Shao is thinner than Su Zhongjie, and the hard feeling in her chest as if poking at the bones should be more obvious than in Su Zhongjie's.

Vivienne Guan was thinking when Su Zhongjie came back: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concub!ne is here to pay her respects to you."

Vivienne Guan frowned slightly, and a trace of nagging annoyance flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the imperial Concub!ne walked into the Cining Palace wearing gorgeous clothes. Even though her delicate face was full of coldness, she should have attracted countless people to flock to her.

Aiden Shao, who was standing not far from Ruyi on the side of the road, looked up and was also attracted by the imperial Concub!ne's stunningly beautiful face.

The Imperial Concub!ne was even wearing an extremely gaudy pink dress, but the color of the dress was so suitable for her. No one in the palace was more beautiful than her.

I heard that the emperor doted on her extremely for a period of time and loved her spoiled appearance, so much so that now she rarely gives face to others in the palace.

With just this one glance, the imperial Concub!ne also turned her head to look over.

Aiden Shao immediately lowered her head, but still caught the imperial Concub!ne's attention.

The imperial Concub!ne stopped and asked the maid beside her: "Is he the eunuch Shao that the queen wanted back from the emperor?"

The maid nodded in agreement.

The disgust in the imperial Concub!ne's eyes was not concealed, and she left a sentence: "Neither male nor female."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the Queen's Palace.

After the greetings, the two exchanged a few words. Vivienne Guan still asked the imperial Concub!ne to sit at the lower seat and asked her what she was doing here today?

The imperial Concub!ne suddenly smiled and turned to look outside the door. Her smile was full of ulterior motives: "You should ask the emperor's most beloved eunuch to come in and listen. I remember the emperor seemed to have said that he ignored the harem for him. I don't know if the news I brought can make that Shao Gong happy."
