The Employed Empress 23 Chapter 23: Don't Look In Fron

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

The small eunuch following him helped Xiao w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Xi tried to speak up only to be block by Eunuch Yuan.

It was Shen Rou who came forward. "Eunuch w.a.n.g 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."

Finis.h.i.+ng 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 ladys.h.i.+p 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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g is my servant! You cannot dismiss him!"

Xiao Yuan Xi completely ignore all his complaints. Jiang Chen slaps his hands away when he tried to hold him. Feeling the anger burning more fiercely, Xiao Yuan Xi disregard all formalities and hold Jiang Chen with a death grip.

With a slender and small wrist belonging to a child, Jiang Chen felt that he might dislocate his hand. But even so, he stomped his foot on the ground trying to use it as breaks.

"Ah!"

Wei Yi Yi shouted absentmindedly, startling Jiang Yu so much he chocked on his tea.

Ignoring the emperor, Tang Mei came close to serve her mistress, "What's wrong your ladys.h.i.+p?"

"There's somewhere I forgot to go."

'And it was the most important part of this trip, ah!' Wei Yi Yi hated the part of her that easily got distracted by other things.

"You are to return to the palace after this." Jiang Yu reminds her with a bitter voice.

"Boss it's common courtesy to at least ask where I'm going." With a playful light in her eyes, Wei Yi Yi tease Jiang yu.

Jiang Yu gave her a blank look. As usual, the two of them are incomparable. Getting irritated would result on childish disagreement. With deep breaths, he threw away all his care and helplessly summoned his patient.

"Then, where does the gentleman intend to go? This young master shall accompany you." Jiang Yu steeled his resolve to follow the current.

"To a book store, ah!" Wei Yi Yi ecstatically replied.

She dare not believe that this world have no corrupted files! Today is the day she's going to hunt her BLs! Even if her boss fires her, there's no chance on earth that she going home empty handed. Over her death body!

Just thinking of all those book that must not seen the light of the day, Wei Yi Yi felt an incoming nosebleed.

She better start hinting to Ah Yuan. Starting from shounen ai, slowly advancing to 'harada' level, let's gathered enough materials.

"The imperial library house a variety of books that you cannot found outside. Is there a need to go there, really?" For Jiang Yu, Wei Yi Yi must be bored to waste time outside. Maybe the scenery inside the palace become monotone for her.

"Just follow along boss if you're going to follow. I'm sure you don't wanna know why." Wei Yi Yi answered Jiang Yu with dead eyes.

'They are sensored for a reason, ok? Unless you want to come over the darkside. Not that this bro mind.'
