The empress dowager really liked his answer and said,""You're so young, but you're sensible. You're even better than Ao Bai, who became the Junior Guardian and was conferred the title of First Class Super Martial Duke.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and continued,"Men, give me some fruits to eat."
"Thank you for your gift, Empress Dowager. May you grow younger and prettier, and live a long life. May all your wishes come true, and live a long and healthy life!"”
Slowly getting up, Wei Xiaobao pleaded with his mother in Yangzhou. A real man was born to kneel down to the heavens, kneel down to his parents, and to him, the only person he truly knelt down to in his life was his mother, whom the world looked down upon.
Wei Xiaobao was led into the side hall, where he sprawled out on a large chair, stuffing dates into his mouth in boredom.
"Eunuch Gui, what's wrong? Isn't it delicious?" a pretty palace maid asked when she saw Wei Xiaobao's worried face.
"No, it's delicious. How can the Empress Dowager's gift not be delicious? You eat too. Come, come, sit beside me.”Wei Xiaobao's worried expression disappeared and he immediately smiled cheekily. He moved his seat so that the maid could sit down.
The little palace maid said," That won't do. This is a gift from the Empress Dowager. I can't eat it!"”
As a palace maid, she couldn't gamble or meet men in private. What she loved the most was dressing up and eating. The first palace maid in front of the Empress Dowager was no exception. Although she wanted to eat, she didn't dare to.
"Aiya, I told you to eat it, so you ate it. This was given to me by the Empress Dowager, and now it belongs to me. How I deal with it is my business. The Empress Dowager is magnanimous, so there is no need to hold us responsible for these little things! Come, come, come."
Wei Xiaobao didn't give the maid a chance to refuse. He grabbed her smooth white hand and pulled her over.
Giving things to palace maids was fake, but taking advantage of others was real. This palace maid was called Chu Rui. She was a few years older than Wei Xiaobao and had matured quite a bit. She was dressed in a moon-white uniform with a slightly bulging chest. Her face was fair and she had a small mouth. She was really beautiful, and her body was always emitting a feminine fragrance. It was very nice to smell.
Wei Xiaobao only took advantage of her by touching her hand and smelling her fragrance.
Chu Rui was pulled to a seat by Wei Xiaobao and said enviously,"Eunuch Gui, I've only served the empress dowager before. I didn't expect that the emperor and empress dowager would dote on you so much today.”
"Hehe, that's all thanks to the emperor and empress dowager.”Wei Xiaobao was all smiles as he rested his head on the palace maid's thigh. His nose was filled with the light fragrance of the woman's clothes. He even used one hand to caress her thigh through the fabric. It felt very smooth and comfortable.
The little palace maid did not seem to realize that the little brat was taking advantage of her. She looked at Wei Xiaobao with admiration and said softly,"Eunuch Gui even served the Emperor and Empress Dowager comfortably. They all say that Eunuch Gui is the most popular person in the Imperial Court.”
Wei Xiaobao smiled but didn't reply. In his heart, he was silently mourning for his uncertain future.

"Prince Kang, Soetu greets you!"
In the study, the little Emperor was practicing calligraphy while Wei Xiaobao was reading a book.
In front of them were Prince Kang and Suo Ertu. The two of them knelt and said in unison,"May the Emperor be blessed."
Prince Kang and Suo Ertu were high officials of the court, and of course, they were the trusted aides of the little Emperor. These two old men did things according to the little Emperor's wishes.
"Get up, get up. How is the matter with Oboi going?”This matter was what the little Emperor was most concerned about at the moment. Before the two of them could report, he could not wait to ask.
"Your Majesty, most of Ao Bai's henchmen have been captured. The original guards in the palace have all been ordered to leave the palace, leaving no one behind. Please send another guard minister in the palace, and choose another loyal and reliable guard to serve the Emperor.”The two elders stood up and bowed in response.
"Yes, it's done well!" The little Emperor was delighted.
"Er, Your Majesty, this servant has already investigated with the various princes and ministers that there are a total of thirty crimes committed by him!”Prince Kang extended three fingers.
"Thirty models? So many?" The little Emperor was surprised.
As for Wei Xiaobao, he shook his head. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. When disaster strikes, they all fly away. When you're in your glory days, people will suck up to you everywhere. When you're in prison, those who used to suck up to you won't mind stepping on you.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Kang took out a booklet from his wide sleeve and gently flipped it open. He then read aloud,"The evidence of Oboi's crime: Second, the use of treacherous cliques; Third, forming cliques to discuss state affairs; Fourth, kill Suksaha and his descendants without authorization; Fifth, protect this flag and change the land."
"Alright, alright, alright." The little Emperor waved his hand and sighed softly."So Ao Bai has done so many bad things. What kind of punishment have you proposed?”
Prince Kang replied,"Oboi's crimes are heinous and cannot be forgiven. He should be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, and all his treacherous followers should be exterminated."”
The little Emperor frowned and said,""Oboi may have committed a heinous crime, but he is a minister who has served the court for many years. He will be spared from death, removed from his post, detained, and never released. His property will be confiscated, and all his accomplices will be executed according to your decision!”
Oboi was an elder of three dynasties, and his military achievements were outstanding. Even Kangxi did not dare to kill him, for fear of being criticized by future generations.
"The Emperor is merciful!" Prince Kang bowed.”
"The wise rulers of ancient times were no match for him!" Soertu continued.”
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'These two old boys are really good at bootlicking.'
"You may leave. Soetu, stay behind." The little Emperor waved his hand.
“嗻!”
After Prince Kang left, the little Emperor frowned and asked,""After Suksaha was executed, did Oboi take all his property?”
"Your Majesty, a few acres of Suksaha's land and property have been confiscated, but Oboi personally sent people to search them. Most of the gold, silver, and jewelry of Suksaha's family should have been in Oboi's pocket."”
"Hmph!" the little Emperor said coldly. I also expected this. Go to Oboi's house and check on the property. It was originally Sukasaha's property. Return it all to his descendants.”
With a smile on his face, Soetu said respectfully,""The emperor is generous and merciful, this servant accepts the decree!”
The little Emperor pondered for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly said to Soertu,""Right, there's one more thing. The Empress Dowager has instructed that she loves to read Buddhist scriptures. I heard that the two scriptures with forty-two chapters in the hands of the owners of the white and yellow flags are in Oboi's residence. The Empress Dowager wants to see if these two scriptures are the same as the ones in the palace.”
