"Shut up, you're utterly shameless..."
"Stop talking..."
"How dare you!"
Qi Qi said, "You're just a little baby, why can't I call you that?"
Ninth Prince: "Who taught you to call me that? You can't!"
Qi Qi thought for a moment and said, "Dad and Mom, eat quickly. The baby needs to eat well to grow taller."
The Ninth Prince retorted sharply, "As fat as you?"
Qi Qi gave him a disapproving look: "You're not kind. How can you attack someone's appearance?"
The Ninth Prince was speechless.
Kindness is often taken advantage of. The Ninth Prince was kind, and his maid, Qi Qi, fed him a bowl of soup, a bowl of porridge, and a bowl of dumplings.
Even after finishing the last bite, the Ninth Prince's ears were still red, wondering what Qi Qi would say next to praise him.
Qi Qi clapped his hands: "That's amazing! We ate it all! Ninth Prince is the most amazing baby in the world!"
Then she took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
The Ninth Prince was speechless, afraid that someone might see this shameful scene: "Keep your voice down! Who's the baby? Don't call me that!"
This is a grumpy little boy, and Qi Qi doesn't know how to deal with him yet. He might be a bit more difficult to handle than the bratty Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince can use the trick of acting cute.
By the way, I wonder if the Seventh Prince will go to the library to look for me today. If he can't find me, will he be angry?
Seeing that Qi Qi was out of his mind, the Ninth Prince said unhappily, "If you behave yourself, I won't punish you."
Qi Qi: "Yes, Your Highness."
The Ninth Prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the boy was no longer calling him "baby".
It's really shameful.
"Your Highness, please get well soon. It's so stuffy in here, let's air it out!"
Ninth Prince: "I am all better! Someone, open the window!"
...
The Queen next door.
"What? He ate Jue'er's breakfast? How dare he..."
"What? Jue'er ate, and she ate three whole bowls?"
"Ventilate? Did this little eunuch really say that?... Oh well, let's ventilate it."
...
The patient should indeed avoid drafts, but it was already a hot summer day, and the air inside the room was stuffy. The imperial physicians were worried that the already weak Ninth Prince would have problems, so they adopted an even more conservative approach to the treatment and did not ventilate the room properly.
Now that the air was fresh, the Ninth Prince ate something, felt a little sleepy, so he dismissed the crowd, lay down on his pillow, and began to drift off to sleep.
Qi Qi was not among those who withdrew.
The chubby boy, unable to sleep after his meal, paced around the inner hall, panting as he digested.
Because of neurasthenia, and because the Ninth Prince's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, even the slightest noise would often irritate him. As a result, he reduced the number of people serving him in the palace again and again, until only a few people were left near him.
The head palace maid, Dongmei, was followed by Chunlan, Xiazhu, and Qiuju. There was also a eunuch, Wang Deshun, and his two apprentices. The other lower-ranking palace maids and eunuchs generally did not come close to serve her.
Once these people entered the hall, their footsteps naturally became lighter. However, the newcomers were suddenly promoted and didn't even know the palace rules, let alone the rules inside the hall.
Hearing the noises coming from the inner palace, the eunuchs Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Xizi in the outer palace were grinding their teeth in frustration: "With such a commotion, why doesn't His Highness send him out?"
The two were Wang Deshun's apprentices, only eleven or twelve years old this year. They had been serving in the side hall of Fengyi Palace for several years and were already quite familiar with the Ninth Prince's personality. The Ninth Prince didn't like anyone to follow him around except for his servants, and at most he would have a companion when he went to school.
However, there still needed to be someone to serve them. After turning down several people arranged by the Empress, Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Xizi were filled with anticipation, thinking that this good job would surely fall to them...
So where did this little eunuch, who looks about the same age as the Ninth Prince and is so fat, and doesn't seem very clever, come from? He probably doesn't even know how to read a single word.
He's obviously got connections!
Dongmei warned, "Behave yourself, this is the person His Highness chose himself."
The two: "..."
It's as if anyone dares to do something bad.
...
Seeing that he still had his eyes open, Qi Qi said, "Your Highness, would you like to digest your food as well?"
Ninth Prince: "No."
Qi Qi: "What is this fragrance? It makes me want to become a monk."
The Ninth Prince remained expressionless: "Tranquilizing incense."
Qi Qi passed by a row of jade artifacts: "A little tiger made of jade! So cute."
Ninth Prince: "Let's play."
Qi Qi: "I'm not playing around. I just want to get familiar with the environment. Your Highness, your palace is so big. Aren't you afraid to sleep alone at night?"
Ninth Prince: "...Shut up."
Qi Qi immediately stopped talking, walked around, and suddenly remembered the tropes in ancient costume dramas. He subconsciously looked up and saw a black corner of clothing on the beam: "I have someone above me!"
Ninth Prince: "I know him, Qi Defu from the Imperial Kitchen?"
Qi Qi: "Oh, right, but I meant we have connections!"
The Ninth Prince turned around and saw him staring at his head in astonishment: "..."
Bodyguard: "..."
Qi Qi rushed to the bedside: "Your Highness, who is he?"
The Ninth Prince, with deadpan eyes: "Secret Guard Eleven."
Qi Qi: "I have a few questions."
"ask."
Qi Qi: "Does 'eleven' mean there are eleven people ahead of us?"
"No, there are eleven people ahead of him who are more powerful than him."
Qi Qi: "Will he follow you everywhere you go?"
"Um."
Qi Qi: "Does the Imperial Study also follow along?"
"Um."
