Chapter 1207 - 1213: An Old Friend Arrives (6)
"However, just because of a Kobe Beef Steak, I can’t be entirely sure that he is the Adult," Cai Wei suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Our Great Jin Dynasty has always prohibited the slaughter of large livestock such as cattle and horses, so you might as well choose something else!"
Liu Xi’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I have a friend who sacrificed herself a long time ago to protect me. I often think of her, she loved spicy hot pot and chuan-flavored hotpot more than anything. Please order the Royal Chefs to make me a bowl of spicy hot pot or a pot of chuan-flavored hotpot to commemorate her."
In her past life, Cai Wei was not much into gluttony, but if she had to mention one or two favorite foods, they would probably be spicy hot pot or chuan-flavored hotpot. This was known to everyone around the Adult; it wasn’t a secret, and the Adult knew about it too!
At this point in the conversation, Cai Wei was almost certain about who the person before her was. She looked at the thin eunuch, shaped like a bamboo pole, with sympathy, unable to associate him with the portly and imposing Adult.
The Liu Xi before her was gaunt and pallid, the image of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness, suffering from malnutrition. But what was more important, he was — a eunuch!
The Adult had reincarnated and ended up in the body of a eunuch... This was too much to accept! Of course, the one who should find it the hardest to accept was probably the Adult himself—oh no, it should be the Young Eunuch Liu Xi now!
Zhao Gui saw that Liu Xi didn’t understand the rules at all, recklessly making requests to the Empress, which scared her into a cold sweat. She scolded him, "Liu Xi, be not rude!"
Cai Wei said, "No matter, this Liu Xi is honest and sincere, which I very much appreciate. I plan on keeping him by my side—later I shall instruct the Internal Affairs Department to pick out some nice ones to replenish his quarters?"
Zhao Gui quickly said, "It’s his good fortune to be favored by the Empress Dowager. Liu Xi, aren’t you going to thank Her Highness for her grace!"
Liu Xi cast a plea for help towards Cai Wei, but seeing her not say the words ’dispense with the formalities,’ he had to suppress his resentful expressions and knelt down to kowtow in thanks!
