Qi Qi immediately opened his arms: "Yes, thank you, Young Master Wang. You are so kind."
Wang Qingshan squatted down, and Qi Qi climbed onto his back, wrapping his arms around his neck. Wang Qingshan's strong hands held Qi Qi tightly.
Wang Qingshan was not a talkative person. After a few minutes, Qi Qi asked, "Young Master Wang, are you tired?"
Wang Qingshan is not tired.
A few minutes later, she asked, "Young Master Wang, am I very heavy?"
Wang Qingshan bounced the chubby little boy up on his back: "He's not heavy."
Qi Qi: "You're sweating."
Wang Qingshan: "From the sun."
Qi Qi then switched the handkerchief to the other side to wipe his sweat: "It's so hot."
Wang Qingshan: "Hmm." What a talkative little eunuch.
Qi Qi continued the friendly courtly exchange: "Young Master Wang, have you had breakfast?"
Wang Qingshan: "I ate it."
What did you eat?
Wang Qingshan said, "Lamb rolls and lamb soup."
Qi Qi: "Is it delicious?"
Wang Qingshan thought for a moment: "Shang Ke, what about you?"
Qi Qi announced the dishes: "Three-delicacy xiaolongbao, and vegetable and shredded chicken congee, are especially delicious. I especially love xiaolongbao, which have chives, eggs and shrimp inside. They're so good."
Wang Qingshan: ...
The shrimp this season are all transported from Jiangnan by waterway, and the supply is limited. He suddenly realized how the little eunuch had gotten so fat; it turned out he came from a well-off family.
He remarked, "The food is good."
Qi Qi realized he had let his guard down and forgotten what his godfather Defu had told him, thinking it was something from the modern era when everyone could eat well...
He immediately shut up.
Then, a few minutes later, Wang Qingshan, who was carrying him, suddenly spoke up: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Qi Qi immediately asked, "Young Master Wang, are you the Seventh Prince's study companion?"
Wang Qingshan: "It's obvious."
Qi Qi: "Classes start at six in the study. Will you be punished by the teacher if you're late?"
Wang Qingshan: "Probably."
Qi Qi: "Do you ever secretly sleep during class?"
Wang Qingshan: "I can't."
Qi Qi: "Young Master Wang, do you only say a few words each time you speak?"
Wang Qingshan: "No."
Qi Qi: "You're kind of cool."
Wang Qingshan: "What does this mean?"
Qi Qi: "Handsome and dashing, very unique~"
Wang Qingshan's ears turned red: "You flatter me."
The two chatted all the way... Qi Qi did most of the talking, while Wang Qingshan responded. Even with someone on his back, he walked briskly and nimbly, and soon arrived at the Imperial Hospital.
Wang Qingshan had been here before, so he naturally used the Seventh Prince's token to find a doctor on duty to treat Qi Qi's injuries.
The imperial physician was startled, for Qi Qi's face was covered in blood, a truly frightening sight, except for his bright, watery eyes.
Wang Qingshan: "I fell and bumped my nose."
The imperial physician didn't ask why a lowly eunuch was treating him. After wiping his face with a damp towel, he revealed his face and said, "Young Master Laibao?"
It turns out that the imperial physician was the one Qi Defu invited to treat Qi Laibao when he had a high fever before entering the palace.
Qi Qi: "Hello, it's me."
Wang Qingshan narrowed his eyes.
Without saying much, he cleaned his face. Qi Qi had a slight abrasion on his forehead and a minor bruise inside his nose. He would recover in a few days with careful care. There was a small, bean-sized abrasion scar on the tip of his nose, covered with some of the imperial physician's homemade ointment. It was black, like a black pimple.
The more troublesome injuries are to the palms of both hands, which are also minor abrasions. Since the injuries are on the hands, they cannot be soaked in water or subjected to excessive movement, as they will hurt. They will heal in a few days.
It's hot, so the dressing needs to be changed twice a day.
To prevent anything from getting into the wound, the imperial physician wrapped two layers of gauze around Qi Qi's chubby hand and tied a knot.
When he fell, it only hurt for a moment, but now after a while, it's a fine, dense pain. When applying the ointment, Qi Qi couldn't help but cry and spilled a little bit of saline solution.
It melts the heart of anyone who sees it.
They are so pitiful.
This body truly cannot endure pain. Qi Qi feels that he is actually a pretty strong robot, only his mind is strong, but his body is a bit unable to keep up...
"Thank you, Imperial Physician."
Hearing this, the imperial physician sighed inwardly. The young eunuch's fall was strange, but in the palace, it was best to avoid talking too much.
Qi Qi climbed back onto Wang Qingshan's back.
However, this time it was Wang Qingshan who took the initiative to carry it.
Qi Qi said sincerely, "Young Master Wang, do I really have to go see the Seventh Prince at noon? Can I not go?"
Wang Qingshan: "I'm afraid that won't work. As long as you continue to serve in this Imperial Study, the Seventh Prince will find you sooner or later."
Seeing that the little eunuch on his back was silent, he comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I will persuade the Seventh Prince not to punish you, and he doesn't seem to want to punish you."
Qi Qi: "Punish me?"
Wang Qingshan said, "Although the Seventh Prince is a bit mischievous, he is not a bad person and will not punish his servants easily."
Qi Qi chose to keep quiet.
Wang Qingshan: "Where do you work? I'll take you there now and tell the steward. You can wait in the study where the princes are resting."
Qi Qi: "..."
Wang Qingshan asked again, "Where?"
Qi Qi reluctantly replied, "In the library."
“The library,” Wang Qingshan thought to himself, “so that’s why I haven’t seen you anywhere else in the school.”
They only went to this library when they were punished by their teachers to copy books. But the teachers were also afraid of the princes. The emperor did not have many children. The youngest prince in the Imperial Study was the Ninth Prince, who was five years old. The next two princes were not yet three years old and could not study.
In addition, there is the fourth prince, who is thirteen years old; the fifth prince, who is ten years old; and the seventh prince, who is nine years old. The second, third, sixth, and eighth princes died young. The eldest prince is the crown prince, who is eighteen years old this year and is already working in the court.
