Don’t be fooled by the work he does in the Imperial Palace; they are merely empty titles, with little corruption to benefit from. His main income still relies on the noble guests’ rewards and occasional tips when the Emperor sends him on tasks, with no substantial earnings.
The Little Eunuch, a sharp-minded individual, immediately grasped Xuexue’s intentions and quickly asked, "What instructions does the Princess Consort have?"
As long as it doesn’t involve the Emperor, helping with minor matters will also yield small tips and does no harm.
Xuexue didn’t beat around the bush with him and asked with a half-smile, "Eunuch Qian, just be honest. Is it Noble Consort Wang seeking me or the Emperor?"
"Well...!"
The Little Eunuch felt a bit awkward, not expecting the Princess Consort of War Prince to be so direct; however, it’s difficult to reveal matters concerning the Emperor!
Xuexue waved her delicate hand, and Zi Xia handed over a silver note worth one thousand taels: "Please accept it, Eunuch Qian!"
The Little Eunuch looked distressed: "This... this, it’s not about the money!"
Xuexue parted her red lips slightly: "Add more!"
Zi Xia handed out another silver note of one thousand taels to the Little Eunuch and said expressionlessly, "Eunuch Qian, please!"
"This... this...!"
It was clear that the Princess Consort of War Prince intended to overwhelm him with money, and he happened to be lacking this, very lacking, extremely lacking.
The Little Eunuch, after a struggle within his mind, couldn’t resist the temptation of money, reached out to take the silver notes, seemingly making a firm decision, and said, "Since the Princess Consort is so good to us, we won’t be pretentious anymore and will reveal a thing or two to the Princess Consort! But let me say beforehand."
Xuexue smiled sweetly and asked, "Eunuch Qian, if you have any concerns, feel free to voice them."
Little Eunuch: "If the Emperor asks, don’t say it was us who told."
The people within the Imperial Palace are indeed all shrewd.
Xuexue laughed: "Of course, rest assured, Eunuch Qian, this Princess Consort knows what to do."
Only then did the Little Eunuch feel at ease and recounted to Xuexue the matter of Old Master Gu filing a complaint in the Imperial Palace.
Xuexue exchanged a glance with Zi Xia, confirming her suspicions that Old Master Gu couldn’t swallow this indignation and went to the Imperial Palace to file a court complaint.
Xuexue then asked, "What is the Emperor planning?"
The Little Eunuch appeared distressed, as these were confidential matters, inappropriate to disclose.
Xuexue once again had Zi Xia give him a silver note of one thousand taels.
She was quite wealthy now, with business spread across Moli Country, naturally not lacking in silver notes. However, her identity was very secretive, with only a few around her aware.
Everyone only knew that the Princess Consort of War Prince had opened a Qinger Building in the Capital; business was booming, earning copious amounts daily.
However, no one imagined that Xuexue could expand her business nationwide, gaining a reputation in Moli Country, with her fame nearing that of Old Master Gu.
Recently, Old Master Gu was also puzzled about who this rising star really was.
In just a few short months, the business had already overshadowed their Gu Family’s.
The Little Eunuch still couldn’t resist the allure of money, looking distressedly at Zi Xia, with a clear message, afraid she might overhear the secrets.
Xuexue waved her hand towards Zi Xia.
Zi Xia bowed and withdrew, closing the door behind her.
Only Xuexue and the Little Eunuch remained in the room.
Though clearly no one else was around, the Little Eunuch furtively glanced around, as if scared someone might overhear.
"Princess Consort, the Emperor he...!" Upon saying this, the Little Eunuch furtively glanced around once more and leaned closer to Xuexue’s ear, whispering a few words.
Xuexue raised her eyes to look at him.
The Little Eunuch nodded to affirm that what he said was true.
"Princess Consort, will you still enter the palace?"
Old Master Gu entered the palace to file a complaint, and the Emperor intended to use this matter to trap her in the Imperial Palace to threaten the Prince. These were the things the Little Eunuch just disclosed to him; deciding whether to enter the palace indeed posed a dilemma.
