Qi Qi then asked, "Does your hand hurt?"

Wang Qingshan even pinched Qi Qi's cheek and said, "It doesn't hurt."

Qi Qi decided to hate the two of them.

The eunuch on the side was very perceptive. Noticing that the Seventh Prince was in high spirits, he nudged Qi Qi: "Don't you have any sense? Hurry up and serve His Highness his meal?"

Qi Qi dislikes the three of them.

The cafeteria was huge, with tables and chairs arranged neatly and elegantly. Each child had their own space. When Qi Qi entered, he looked around but didn't see the Ninth Prince. Had the Ninth Prince skipped class too?

It seemed like there were always eyes watching this way, and in this kind of environment, people would unconsciously become a little more serious.

The Seventh Prince walked to the dining table and sat down. The food had already been laid out outside: Eight-Treasure Duck, Cherry Meat, Braised Deer Tendon...

Some of the dishes were ones that Qi Qi had eaten before and could name, while the others were unfamiliar to him. They were arranged in small, exquisite portions and looked delicious.

Qi Qi glanced around at the people, knowing full well that servants wouldn't sit at the table. He subtly touched his stomach and asked the Seventh Prince, "Hungry?"

Qi Qi: "No."

The servants ate after their masters. Those who served in front of their masters would take turns eating quickly.

Wang Qingshan silently ate his meal quickly.

The seventh prince called for a eunuch to bring him the pastries he had brought to fill his stomach: "Eat up, this is a reward for you."

Qi Qi: "..."

The eunuch beside him gritted his teeth in jealousy: "Your Highness, this is not right..."

The Seventh Prince raised an eyebrow: "What business is it of yours, Your Highness?"

The eunuch lowered his head deeply: "This servant dares not."

Seventh Prince: "Eat!"

It smelled quite good, so Qi Qi picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth.

It was so delicious that two children choked to death from it.

Qi Qi had never eaten this kind of pastry before. Qi Defu had prepared soft, sweet and sticky little desserts that Qi Qi liked. The size of the Seventh Prince's pastries was okay. Qi Qi thought he could swallow them in one bite. He could, but they were hard to swallow.

So the Seventh Prince watched as the chubby boy's cheeks bulged out like a little squirrel, looking especially cute. Then he saw the boy chew a few times and start rolling his eyes.

Just as I was wondering if this chubby boy had a problem with me, I saw him suddenly snatch my tea and gulp it down in one go, then pat his chest and look relieved.

eunuch: "How dare you!"

Qi Qi explained, "I almost choked to death, it wasn't on purpose."

Remembering, he added, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

"Pfft,"

Uncontrollable laughter could be heard from the side.

Qi Qi looked back, and the Seventh Prince also looked back: "What are you laughing at!"

Several pairs of eyes immediately turned back.

The Seventh Prince then snorted, "You're so stupid, you can even choke on a piece of poria cocos cake."

Qi Qi didn't want to pay him any attention. Watching someone eat delicious food was a terrible thing. You don't think about these things when you're not hungry, but as soon as you're hungry and there's delicious food in front of you, you'll start to imagine the taste of the food in your mind.

The health food in the palace was excellent, and Qi Qi really missed modern cola, soda, fried chicken, and barbecue...

Looking at them again, I felt a little resentful.

The Seventh Prince and Wang Qingshan were also looking at him strangely. They felt that this little fat boy/eunuch was too presumptuous. In this palace, who would dare to look directly at their master and speak to him? It was strange that he showed no reverence, fear, or servility.

It was improper for the Seventh Prince to eat at the same table as his servants. After the Seventh Prince and his servant finished eating, the Seventh Prince wanted to take a walk to digest his food.

The lunch break is only half an hour long. People who are too tired will choose to eat quickly and then rest for half an hour in the quiet room or classroom after eating.

He took Qi Qi with him on his walk, keeping him by himself, while Wang Qingshan and the eunuchs were sent aside.

The Seventh Prince wanted to take a walk on the cool bamboo path. As he walked through the bamboo grove, seeing that no one was around, the Seventh Prince pinched Qi Qi's cheek again. Qi Qi said once more, "Seventh Prince, I don't want to be your page."

Seventh Prince: "If you say no one again, I'll really punish you with a beating."

Qi Qi was angry.

Seventh Prince: "Speak."

Qi Qi thought about how he would have to serve the Seventh Prince tea and water, do his laundry and cook for him, and be busy with all sorts of things. He would have no time to eat or sleep and would have to be prepared to serve him at all times. Moreover, according to the horror stories about the harem that his godfather Defu had told him, he might be beaten to death by the Seventh Prince or someone else if he made a mistake.

I feel quite hopeless about life.

Perhaps because his body was too small, his emotions were more sensitive... Qi Qi's tears came easily, and his sudden transformation into a red-eyed rabbit startled the Seventh Prince: "You're crying?"

"Why are you crying? I didn't hit you or scold you."

"Isn't this job good? One month's pay is equivalent to three months' salary as a cleaning eunuch. It's not hard work at all, and you can enjoy yourself."

Seeing that he was about to use the still-unchanged sleeve to wipe his face again, Qi Qi dodged to the side: "It's not hard work, it's just that I have a hard life."

The Seventh Prince was dumbfounded, wondering if he had misheard. He pointed at Qi Qi and then at himself, saying, "Following this prince, is your life miserable?"

Qi Qi nodded silently.

The seventh prince was so angry he laughed.

Having never been humiliated before, his first instinct was to punish him, but after glancing at the chubby boy's red eyes, he turned and stormed off, yelling, "Ungrateful!"

Qi Qi thought the prince didn't want him to be his page anymore, and a smile had just appeared on his lips when the Seventh Prince returned. Seeing Qi Qi still smiling, he was furious and grabbed Qi Qi's face, giving it a good squeeze: "Smiling, you're still smiling? How dare you? Huh? You think you'll have a good ending after offending this prince?"

He was incredibly strong, and Qi Qi, a tiny boy a head shorter than him, couldn't break free. He quickly cried out, "Your Highness, please don't do this!"
