The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

Dietary workshop.

The young eunuchs were busy at work, some chopping wood, others boiling water, preparing for Shen Mo's inauguration banquet.

One of the young eunuchs spoke up: "Do you think Steward Shen will turn into someone like Chief Steward Wu after he takes office?"

Xiao Xizi, who was silently chopping wood, spoke up in rebuttal: "I don't think Steward Shen is that kind of person."

This statement immediately drew much ridicule.

"Maybe not now, but what about in the future?"

"Exactly, all crows are black!"

"Who knows, once he tastes the sweetness of power, he might exploit people even more ruthlessly in the future!"

Xiao Xizi pursed her lips, unable to refute, but intuitively felt that Shen Mo was different from Wu De.

At that moment, Shen Mo suddenly appeared at the door.

"Eunuch Shen!"

Everyone immediately fell silent and greeted each other in unison.

Shen Mo nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before settling on Xiao Xizi: "Xiao Xizi, starting today, you will be staying in a single room, and all standards will be upgraded."

The other eunuchs couldn't help but cast envious glances.

Immediately afterward, Shen Mo said calmly, "I heard what you were saying outside. I can't promise you any future wealth and status, but things will definitely get better and better. Xiao Xizi, come with me for a moment."

After the two left, the eunuchs who had spoken ill of Shen Mo were filled with remorse and worried that Shen Mo might seek revenge later.

In the courtyard, Shen Mo said calmly, "Do you know why I promoted you?"

"Because I spoke up for my father-in-law?"

Xiao Xizi answered hesitantly.

Shen Mo shook his head and said directly, "The Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, do you remember it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xizi suddenly realized that he had been in charge of delivering the soup and had inadvertently discovered that Eunuch Jia was secretly adding ingredients to the soup.

Shen Mo gave Qin Lu a severe scolding. He thought Shen Mo was a good person and wanted to remind him, but in fear of Eunuch Jia and Wu De, he ultimately said nothing.

"Although you didn't directly remind me, I noticed your unusual hesitation back then. Otherwise, why would I have rewarded you with ten taels of silver just because you delivered the soup?" Shen Mo asked with a faint smile.

"Eunuch Shen's insight is far beyond what I can achieve," Xiao Xizi said, his heart pounding. He quickly bowed.

"What I need is not someone who only knows how to flatter, but someone who can handle all sorts of complicated and trivial matters for me, while also ensuring that their cultivation doesn't fall behind. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"

Shen Mo's eyes held a profound meaning.

After achieving minor success in the Dragon Elephant Prison Technique, he took the opportunity to investigate Xiao Xizi and discovered that he had suppressed his fourth-level Body Refinement cultivation to the first level through some unknown method of concealment.

If it weren't for the exquisite Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, which can directly examine the Qi and blood, it would be impossible to detect!

The fourth level of body refinement is nothing special among the eunuchs in the cold palace's single-room rooms, but it is already top-notch among the eunuchs in the shared rooms. Moreover, Xiao Xizi is still young and has a bright future ahead of him.

"hiss--"

Xiao Xizi gasped; Shen Mo's words clearly seemed to have a hidden meaning.

After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his fists and replied forcefully, "Little Xizi, I am willing to serve Eunuch Shen with utmost loyalty!"

.......

As dusk falls and night begins to descend.

After taking a special bath, Shen Mo changed into a brand-new navy blue robe and waited outside the Phoenix Palace with a slightly apprehensive heart.

This palace, magnificent and beautiful, was the dream residence of countless imperial concubines.

Living in this place grants one supreme power, making one an empress revered by all under heaven.

"Summon Xiao Mozi to the palace for an audience!"

In the distance, Wu Xiong shouted something and then walked up to Shen Mo, saying calmly, "Go in. Remember to make a good impression on the Empress, or you won't be able to hold onto your position as manager."

"I understand."

Shen Mo responded, understanding the principle without Wu Xiong needing to say more.

He passed through several side courtyards, and the deeper he went, the more magnificent the palaces became. The floor tiles were replaced with polished white marble, and the palace steps rose one by one.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees the Empress seated regally on her phoenix throne.

"This servant, Xiao Mozi, greets Your Majesty the Empress." Shen Mo bowed his head and knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at the owner of the phoenix throne.

"Lift your head up and let me take a closer look."

The Empress's voice was deep, slow, and gentle, her speech was unhurried, and her slightly lowered tone at the end of her sentences carried an air of authority.

Shen Mo then raised his head.

The empress had her hair neatly styled in a phoenix bun, her face was plump and fair, and she wore no heavy makeup, only a light rouge that made her lips appear red. Her phoenix eyes were deep, calm, and dignified, showing the composure of a ruler.

Empress, Xiao Yishu.

He was thirty-five, much older than the emperor.

This is because she comes from a military family. Her father, Duke Xiao, has reached the Grandmaster realm and commands an army of 800,000, fighting for the Great Qian Dynasty his entire life!

After seeing the Empress's true face, Shen Mo couldn't help but think to himself:

"Li Zhaoxue, you didn't lose unjustly!"

Although both are mature women, Xiao Yishu exudes more charm, and her regal aura adds to her appeal.

Xiao Yishu nodded slightly and praised, "You have such a fair and handsome face, and you look so young. You can't be much older than Feng'er, can you?"

"Your Majesty, I am eighteen years old," Shen Mo reported truthfully.

"Step forward and let me examine you."

"yes!"

Shen Mo took a few steps forward.

"Closer!"

"Yes, ma'am."

This time, Shen Mo knelt down directly in front of Feng Yi, less than half a body length away from Xiao Yishu.

Xiao Yishu nodded in satisfaction and said, "He is quite clean; he doesn't have that unpleasant smell of urine on him."

Of course, there was no smell of urine in Shenmo.

He's not a real eunuch. Although he's still developing, he has more than enough urine, unlike other eunuchs who have been castrated and whose urine is everywhere.

"I accompanied His Majesty for a long stroll in the Imperial Garden today, and my feet are quite sore," Xiao Yishu sighed softly, her gaze intense and seemingly directed at something.

"I happen to know some massage techniques; how about I relieve Your Majesty's fatigue?"

Shen Mo quickly suggested that this was not something he was making up; anyone who practices martial arts has studied the distribution of muscles and acupoints in the human body.

Xiao Yishu closed her beautiful eyes and slowly uttered a single word:

"good!"

Shen Mo carefully took off her shoes, holding one of her slender feet in his hands. He felt that her feet were warm, smooth and tender, and at first glance, each toe was as delicate as white jade.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance mixed with a slightly unpleasant odor, which was understandable considering that Xiao Yishu hadn't bathed after a day of shopping.

Immediately.

Silently clear your mind and focus on massaging my feet.

Xiao Yishu's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, as if she had shed her usual restraint and fatigue.

After a while, Shen Mo finally finished massaging both feet.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a weight on his shoulder. Xiao Yishu had placed her right foot on his shoulder.

Xiao Yishu's lips curled into a smile as she said directly, "Little Mozi, I haven't washed my feet yet. Would you be willing to clean them for me?"

Shen Mo had just said he was going to fetch water to wash his feet when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He was horrified. The Empress meant this? She was really playing dirty tricks and was really perverted!

It's not only perverse, but also a test of obedience; if he's unwilling, he's very likely to never leave this door.

"Bitterness!"

Shen Mo inwardly groaned, thinking of his promise to Li Zhaoxue and all his long-term efforts. If he said no, everything would vanish with his life.

Xiao Yishu's expression suddenly darkened, and she asked, "You're unwilling?"

"I am deeply moved and at a loss for words because of Her Majesty the Empress's high regard for me. It is not that I am unwilling."

Xiao Yishu smiled calmly, closed her eyes again, and said:

"Then let's begin."

Shen Mo made up his mind and decided to go all out.
