Having placed the bucket of water down, the little eunuch approached the head eunuch with a beaming smile and cheerfully said, "Head Eunuch, when the Emperor returns, will we truly have an Empress in Dongxiao?"
An Empress?
Xue Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.
The head eunuch immediately gave him a stern look, "Don't spread such words outside."
The little eunuch grinned, "I didn't speak outside; it's just that everyone in the palace knows, and we're discussing it among ourselves. We're happy about it. The harem has been empty for too long with no Empress; it's been so many years, sometimes we even doubt if this harem is a place for consorts."
