Xiao Jizi's face froze in an exaggerated expression of astonishment, not understanding what was going on. When he turned his head, he saw Xiao Qing looking at him with a smile, her eyes brimming with laughter that seemed to celebrate for him.
His gaze drifted downward to see that Xiao Qing was holding a tray in her hands, upon which lay a full set of eunuch attire—boots, belt, and hat were all there, exceedingly complete and appropriate.
The pattern and style of the eunuch uniform were all too familiar to him; it was the attire of the Managing eunuch that he had longed for so deeply.
He was somewhat dazed, unclear as to what was happening, and bewilderedly turned back to look at Lian Hua.
With a smile, Lian Hua said to him, "Those clothes you wore before are no longer suitable for you, so I've prepared a new set for you."
Xiao Jizi, seemingly in disbelief, pointed at himself and asked stutteringly, "For me? For your servant?"
