"Kneel outside," Qiao Mu spoke coldly.
The junior palace maid was startled, but she dared not drag her feet. She quickly walked outside and relayed the crown prince consort's decree.
That Junior Eunuch Li from the imperial kitchen was but in his early twenties. He had the air of a ruffian and he kept glancing about irreverently.
After hearing this, that Junior Eunuch Li's expression stiffened, displeasure flitting through his eyes. "Why?"
"Caixiu, slap his mouth."
The young crown prince consort ordered evenly.
Caixiu's heart skipped a beat and drummed rapidly.
She knew who this Junior Eunuch Li in front of her was.
He was the Imperial Household Department's third-in-command and also Senior Eunuch Li's adopted son. Palace maids and eunuchs would usually be licking his boots whenever he visited the various palaces. In consideration of Senior Eunuch Li, no one dared to treat him brashly.
