A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Life in the palace passed both quickly and slowly.
Of course, time passes slowly during class, quickly after class, quickly when playing, and slowly when busy...
Qi Qi gets up at seven o'clock every morning, washes up, eats breakfast, and then walks half an hour to the study room, where he starts class at eight o'clock sharp.
The class activities are as follows: the Ninth Prince is responsible for daydreaming, reading extracurricular books, and spacing out.
Qi Qi's morning activities basically consist of: daydreaming, chatting, eating snacks, telling jokes, skipping class with the Ninth Prince, feeding snacks to the poor Fifth Prince whose stomach was growling during class, and exchanging glances with the Seventh Prince...
Oh, not flirting, but the Seventh Prince would seize any opportunity to do things like pinching Qi Qi's cheeks, teasing Qi Qi, catching caterpillars to scare Qi Qi, and then Qi Qi would pretend to cry, throw the caterpillars at the Seventh Prince's head, and the Seventh Prince would run away in fright.
Then Qi Qi regretted it. The Seventh Prince was not someone to be trifled with. If you gave him a friendly look, he would take advantage of you and come after Qi Qi even more aggressively. Moreover, even after being warned by the Ninth Prince several times, he continued.
The Seventh Prince mainly harassed Qi Qi in the afternoon.
Qi Qi couldn't just sit around in the afternoon; he had to hand the Ninth Prince water and towels, and clap his hands when he was shooting arrows and riding horses. His godfather Defu had taught him that as a personal eunuch, flattering his superior was a must.
Qi Qi did a great job in this regard. Now, every maid and eunuch in the entire Fengyi Palace greets him as "Greetings, Eunuch Lai Bao."
Even the Empress smiled when she saw Qi Qi. During the past month, she even had several imperial physicians check Qi Qi to see if he had any poison or sleeping pills. After that, Qi Qi seemed even more amiable.
While serving as the captain of the Ninth Prince's cheerleading squad, she also had to use the excuse of looking after Xiao Ma Taxue to harass the male lead, Gu Siyan, when he was busy with things like boxing.
Gu Siyan has a very upright appearance, but he is actually a cool guy who is very sparing with words. He is unmoved by Qi Qi's offensive... Fortunately, Qi Qi is not a person. He is not very good at reading people's expressions or understanding human speech. He also has a lot of perseverance.
Sure enough, after a month, Qi Qi started calling him "brother," and Gu Siyan gradually became more talkative.
Ta Xue lay down on the ground to rest, and Qi Qi braided the mane on its head into small braids.
"Wow, Snowball is the most beautiful pony in the world!"
The embroidery wasn't very well done, but Ta Xue couldn't see it. She was caught up in the little fat boy's flattery and happily rubbed her head against him.
Gu Siyan couldn't bear to see his carefully raised, handsome horse running among the herd with its silly braids, so he gently reminded him, "...Aren't your arms tired?"
Qi Qi's eyes lit up, and he was deeply moved.
A month of trying to get closer to him really worked! Look, he cares about me!
Qi Qi immediately got even more excited: "I'm not jealous, I'm going to make Ta Xue the coolest kid on the whole training ground!"
Gu Siyan: It has become the silliest horse in the training ground. Every good horse of its kind walks around hopping and skipping, with a little flower on its head (picked up from the ground), and it grins its big teeth as it walks and rubs against people.
"Perhaps, a stallion doesn't need to be so beautiful."
Qi Qi disagreed, saying, "That's not right. Precisely because it's a male horse, it needs to be beautiful so it can find a wife more easily. Who doesn't like to be beautiful?"
Ta Xue: "Hiss..."
Gu Siyan said incredulously, "Why do you need to know this? You're not going to get married."
He glanced at Qi Qi as soon as he said that, but Qi Qi replied, "It's human nature to love beauty."
Qi Qi then said, "Brother Si Yan, I have a day off tomorrow, so do you want me to bring you anything?"
Actually, he could have taken a break half a month ago, but the Ninth Prince was out in the sun for too long in the afternoon and wasn't feeling well, so Qi Qi didn't take the break and took care of him.
He didn't know when he started calling him "brother," and Gu Siyan couldn't correct him even if he wanted to, so he just let him call him that. Hearing this, he began to think about the question he had been pondering for the past month: what was the little eunuch's purpose in deliberately approaching him?
He said, "I have no money."
Does he know that he has people outside the realm...? What if he knows and that's why he's trying to curry favor with me...? A ruthless glint flashed in Gu Siyan's eyes. The force outside the realm hasn't even contacted him yet, but this little eunuch already knows so much. There must be something more to him than meets the eye.
Qi Qi: "Alright then, bring it when you have the money."
Gu Siyan choked.
To curry favor? Is this currying favor? If this were currying favor, Gu Siyan would have swallowed the poison in his arms.
Qi Qi's idea was very simple.
The male lead is a very proud and sensitive person, so you definitely can't just give him money directly—that would be too hurtful! Who knows what he might be thinking about behind your back…
Qi Laibao only mentioned in his memory that he was vengeful, petty, and very cunning. He had endured for ten years before finally gaining power and killing everyone.
Beneath the young man's calm exterior lies a sharp blade. At the same time, in the memories of Gu Siyan during uprisings in various places, he is also a rare wise ruler who overthrows tyranny, saves the people from suffering, and is admired by all.
Qi Qi looked up and, through the slightly smelly Gu Siyan in front of him, imagined the formidable Gu Siyan he would become in the future.
He's a good person, and he only holds grudges against those who bullied him. So, if we befriend him now, Gu Siyan should be able to let Defu go in the future, right?
Gu Siyan turned to look at him: "?"
Qi Qi: "Brother Si Yan, what do you think of me?"
Gu Siyan casually replied, "Your father-in-law is naturally an excellent person."
