This wave, this wave, is called returning home in glory.
Walking down the street with a small pile of treasures, Qi Qi was still pondering how much these things could fetch, and whether it would be enough to buy a big house outside...
Qi Defu didn't have a day off today, but as a chief eunuch, no one cared if he left early. After finishing his work at the top, he returned to the main eunuch's residence.
After a month apart, and only through a few occasions relayed by a young eunuch, the message that came was that Lai Bao had to serve the Ninth Prince from morning till night. The young eunuch in the Imperial Study said that things were going well, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and didn't know the specifics. However, he was heartbroken and rushed over as soon as he saw that familiar little figure.
"My dear Laibao! You've lost weight...?"
Qi Defu held Qi Qi in his arms and weighed him in his hands, finding it difficult to speak.
Why do you look a bit more muscular? Could it be from overwork?
"My son, Laibao, has really suffered...?"
Qi Qi interrupted his thoughts in time: "Dad, I missed you so much too! Put me down quickly, look what treasure I brought you!"
baby?
Then, Qi Defu saw a pile of jade and gold...
"The Ninth Prince and the Empress both like me very much. Look, they gave these to me!"
Qi Defu fell silent, then patted the child's head: "Laibao, was it really a gift from the Empress and the Ninth Prince?"
"Mmm!"
How to describe this feeling? It's dreamlike, incredible, and inexplicably proud. It's like the pride of having your own child loved by the whole world, yet I can't help but worry.
"You haven't suffered much this month, have you? Your father isn't short of money, and Laibao doesn't need to climb the ranks. I heard you're in the Phoenix Palace, working for the Ninth Prince every day. How is it? Has he made things difficult for you? What about the palace servants in the side hall? Has no one in the Imperial Study bullied you?"
He rambled on and on, and Qi Qi listened to everything. He actually liked it when someone talked to him like that; it gave him a feeling of being cared for and loved.
This feeling is neither like friends nor lovers, but more like the Supreme God, and also like... that damned Doctor who didn't want to destroy himself before.
"You didn't suffer, Godfather."
Qi Defu is Qi Qi's goal in coming to this world, and he is absolutely credible. Qi Qi concealed the existence of the system, and after embellishing the story, he told it in a fairly detailed way.
She serves as the Ninth Prince's bedmate, eats delicious meals every day, does virtually no work, learns massage, gets along well with the palace servants, and also gets along well with the pageboys in the Imperial Study.
Qi Defu paid close attention to Qi Qi's life in Fengyi Palace, so the Ninth Prince wanted to explain this in detail to avoid worrying him.
Immediately, Qi Defu's face lit up with joy, and he uttered three "good"s in a row:
"My son is so lucky! Very good! With the Empress's favor, my son will have a way out in the future! Even if you accidentally commit a crime, with the Ninth Prince's favor, you cannot be dealt with arbitrarily! Can the Ninth Prince really fall asleep?"
This is no simple matter; if handled well, it could be incredibly powerful. The Ninth Prince has been ill for almost two years, and his health is deteriorating. At first, I was worried he might lose his temper and hurt you, but now that you're sleeping well, he must value you highly! My son, you must pay close attention to these things in your daily life.
My son, you must stay close to the Ninth Prince. Be a useful personal eunuch, even in the future…
Qi Defu paced around the room, unable to contain his joy, as if he had won a two-hundred-million-dollar lottery. Seeing him start analyzing the benefits again, Qi Qi twitched his lips, too embarrassed to stop him.
Father, how afraid are you of me causing trouble? You keep saying that if we build a good relationship now, I won't be afraid of being beaten to death if I get into trouble later... Well, thank goodness Godfather Defu didn't suggest that Qi Qi take the path of a powerful eunuch who gets promoted and earns a high salary, but only sought to act prudently.
Qi Defu was afraid that Qi Qi wouldn't understand, so he explained it in detail, especially instructing Qi Qi not to say these things aloud and just keep them in his mind. He didn't dare to be too explicit, afraid that Qi Qi might really lose control and tell others...
Before he could begin a new round of analysis, Qi Qi finally managed to squeeze in a comment: "Godfather, I've also made a good friend!"
This is the most important topic of Qi Qi's visit today!
His deliberate mention of his good friend caught Qi Defu's attention.
"Oh? What kind of person is he?"
Qi Qi said, "We met him at the Imperial Study's training ground. He's a really handsome young man, and he's also a very nice person. He taught me how to train the Ninth Prince's horse and we chatted together."
"Good-looking? A horse trainer?"
"What is your identity?"
Qi Qi: "He's a horse slave, he's a horse slave."
Qi Defu's eyes immediately became cautious: "A stable boy? Since when did a stable boy dare to talk to you... Laibao, can you tell your father how you met this friend?"
I'm afraid they're targeting Lai Bao's identity; they have ulterior motives!
Qi Qi sensed that his eyes were a little tense, like someone was trying to harm their godson...
Qi Qi organized his thoughts: "That day, I saw him at the training ground. He was leading a white pony. He was very tall and handsome. As soon as I saw him, I felt a sense of kinship with him, so I went up to get to know him."
Qi Defu's expression hardened: "...You took the initiative to get to know him?"
What a cunning stable boy! He deliberately created an opportunity to attract Lai Bao's attention, making Lai Bao take the initiative to get to know him!
Qi Qi: "Yeah, he seems a bit aloof, but he's actually a really nice and interesting person. It took me a long time to become friends with him."
Qi Defu's eyes grew even deeper as he thought to himself, "Such deep scheming! He actually managed to fool a six-year-old child so completely... Where are the good people in this palace?"
