Qi Yan changed the way he addressed Song Jiujiu from "girl" to "Miss", and also changed the way he referred to himself from "I" to "little one".
The change in attitude is also quite obvious.
If it was Song Jiujiu who wanted Qi Yan to be her bodyguard before, Qi Yan was still arrogant and hesitant.
Now Qi Yan is anxious because he sees that King Kang and his wife no longer want him to be their bodyguard.
His anxiety was not too obvious, but it was enough for King Kang and his family of three to feel it.
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu were both deliberately silent, and Song Jiujiu was busy eating candied haws.
People come and go in the clinic, and those who are curious will cast doubtful glances at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes and ignored these gazes.
No one noticed that his hands, which were hanging at his sides and hidden by his wide sleeves, were clenched tightly, full of displeasure.
Song Jiujiu vaguely felt something from Qi Yan. She blinked her big black and white eyes and ate the last candied haws.
"Dad and Mom, have you thought about it?
Young Master Qi is so pitiful, can we take him back home?"
The daughter took the initiative to speak, and Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu agreed.
So when the family of three returned home, they also brought back an eight-year-old guard and a half-grown black dog with black fur.
When Qi Yan saw the three words "Kang Wang Mansion", there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he had already known that his future "master" would be the Kang Wang family.
Or maybe he already knew it when they first met.
Song Jiujiu, who was held in her father's arms but whose attention was on Qi Yan, became even more suspicious when she saw that Qi Yan was indifferent when he saw the plaque with the three words "Kang Wang Mansion" written on it. He did not seem surprised or frightened at all.
[Let’s not talk about whether Qi Yan can read or not. Shouldn’t any little beggar feel panic when seeing the palace?
If he could read, when he saw the three words "Kang Wang Mansion", he would be even more surprised that he actually saved the legitimate daughter of Kang Wang's family.
But Qi Yan's emotions were too calm.
He was so indifferent that even if my father, King Kang, stood in front of him, he would remain indifferent, with a dull expression and no emotion at all.
Qi Yan looked like a little beggar, but it was more like he was the legitimate son or grandson of some royal noble who had disguised himself as a beggar and deliberately came to us.
Maybe it was Qi Yan who was trying to attract our attention from the moment he was beaten for stealing buns!
I have to ask Daddy to send someone to investigate Qi Yan thoroughly. At this critical juncture when Daddy is not far from ascending the throne, the appearance of Qi Yan may not be a good thing!
And that big black dog is so weird!
It hummed a lot along the way, but I couldn't understand what it was humming.
I have to try to find another big dog. Could it be that I have lost the ability to communicate with animals?]
Song Jiujiu muttered to herself for a while, and they had already entered the palace and arrived at the main hall.
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu took their daughter's thoughts to heart and planned to make arrangements later.
King Kang called the housekeeper and asked him to arrange for Qi Yan to stay first.
Even though Qi Yan has some martial arts skills, he cannot just be Song Jiujiu's bodyguard.
So King Kang asked Lin Ye to send someone to teach Qi Yan martial arts.
When Qi Yan’s martial arts skills improve, he can become Song Jiujiu’s bodyguard.
After arranging all this, King Kang deliberately asked Qi Yan.
"Young Master Qi, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
This time, Qi Yan finally showed a bit of panic on his face. He bowed, and there was obvious nervousness in his childish voice.
"Your Highness, please call me by my name. I am unworthy of being called Master.
As a beggar, I am very satisfied to have such an opportunity to enter your house, to have enough food and clothes, and to be the lady's bodyguard!
No matter how the prince arranges me, I will be grateful to him forever!"
What Qi Yan said this time was consistent with his identity as a little beggar.
King Kang nodded and let Lin Ye take him down first.
He also arranged secret guards to keep an eye on Qi Yan at all times, and to capture him immediately if he made any unusual movements.
As for the big black dog, King Kang had it sent to the backyard to be raised.
After everything was arranged, Song Jiujiu happily returned to Qingzhuyuan.
The little sparrows and a few pigeons live on the big tree in the courtyard of Qingzhuyuan.
She wanted to ask them if there were any big dogs or small dogs among the animals willing to live in the zoo.
Last time they went to the surrounding mountains to ask around, they found that there were quite a lot of animals willing to be "captive" by bipeds.
Of course, Song Jiujiu's Beast Garden doesn't mean they are kept in captivity. She specifically told the little sparrows that if anyone wants to go back to the mountain, they can just go back directly.
Just don't cause panic among humans.
As a result, more animals are willing to live in the zoo.
Even the fish and turtles in the river wanted to join in the fun after hearing about it.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
Yes! There are dogs. Do you want to see the dogs now?
The little sparrow flapped its wings and stood on Song Jiujiu's outstretched arm and asked her.
[Yes, please, Queque, go call a dog over. Just one will do.]
“Chirp!”
Okay, leave it to me!
The little sparrow rubbed Song Jiujiu's hand with its beak, then flapped its wings and flew away.
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu listened to their daughter's thoughts and wondered whether they should find a new dog for her.
Just as they were thinking this, the little fat Jiuer came to them with her short legs, looking up at them with her little round face.
"Daddy and Mommy, Jiuer wants a puppy, is that okay?"
[It would be best if the dog has not yet developed self-awareness. I don’t know if I can understand the animal language of such a dog.
If it's the same as the big black dog and can't understand, then the big black dog isn't a suspect.]
King Kang felt somewhat embarrassed by his daughter's thoughts.
A dog without self-awareness?
How does this differentiate between dogs with and without self-awareness?
"Of course! Jiuer, let's put it this way, there is a dog market in the capital, why don't you let daddy take you to see it in person.
This way you can pick your own dog, how about that? "
King Kang held his daughter in his arms and said.
In this way, Jiuer should be able to distinguish which dogs have self-awareness and which do not.
"Okay, okay! Does Daddy have time? Will it bother Daddy?"
Little Fatty Jiuer was a caring little baby. He hugged his father's neck and asked in a baby voice.
"Yes, let's go to the dog market tomorrow in broad daylight."
King Kang had made his plans.
"Great! Let's go see the dog tomorrow!"
Song Jiujiu was happy in her baby voice.
The next afternoon, the family of three set off for the dog market.
The night before, while Song Jiujiu was having dinner, she specifically asked her brothers if they wanted to go to the dog market with her.
But her brothers all had their own things to do, so only her father and mother could accompany her.
