Chapter 17: Being petty and calculating, it's obvious that one's mind is not broad-minded
Bah! Your things are all tattered!
Can you speak human language?
Yun Qingshi pursed his lips under his mask in discontent. Instinctively, he fiercely retorted to the words of a certain prince in his heart, and then whispered the reason he had prepared in advance: "Your Highness, I cleaned the house while I was there."
Cleaning the house is reasonable.
Besides, it's only two hours. Is there any need to be so dissatisfied?
If you are petty, it shows that you don't have a broad mind.
Xiao Jiwu's eyes remained gloomy when he heard the voice, and he obviously didn't believe it.
But he didn't argue about it any further.
Then, his gaze gradually fell on the boy's face, which was mostly covered by the mask, and he opened his lips again to ask, "Why did Eleven suddenly cover his face?"
After seeing the boy's uncovered face, Xiao Jiwu now felt that the mask was very annoying.
Yun Qingshi was stunned when he heard this. He obviously had not expected Xiao Jiwu to ask this suddenly.
Don't the secret guards usually wear this? He wondered a little doubtfully.
As for why he suddenly put on a mask, the reason was very simple. He saw Ying Twelve and the others wearing them, so he thought that since he was trying hard to play the role of a qualified secret guard, he should cover his face.
Another thing is that he thinks he looks pretty cool wearing this.
However, he actually regretted it a little because wearing a mask was not comfortable.
The fabric is actually very light and breathable, but no matter how thin it is, it is definitely not as easy to breathe as when you are not wearing it.
Thoughts drifted to this point, and Yun Qingshi continued to answer a certain prince's question: "Covering your face is the rule of the Secret Guards."
Although he didn't know the inside story and didn't have the original owner's memory, it was still easy to guess. Everyone had to wear it, so it must be the rule.
Covering one's face was indeed a rule of the secret guards, which made Prince Xiao remain silent for a rare moment.
But he soon spoke again: "Take it off. From now on, you are not allowed to wear it without my order."
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshi took off his mask without any hesitation.
Because he had no intention of continuing to wear it, and it was uncomfortable.
The boy's delicate face was once again completely exposed. Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu was finally satisfied. He continued, "Go put the things away and come over to serve Mo."
"Okay." Yun Qingshi nodded and agreed again.
Just serve the ink, it’s just grinding the ink, simple.
He had already made sufficient mental preparations before returning.
Yun Qingshi didn't hesitate at all. After answering, he went straight to the inner room to put his bag.
But where to put it is also a problem.
Yun Qingshi took a quick look around the inner room, thought for a moment, and finally walked towards the wardrobe.
There happened to be an empty compartment at the top of the wardrobe, so he stuffed the bag into it, and also put the mask in there.
Behind the desk, Xiao Jiwu didn't say much when he saw the young man's rude behavior.
After putting his things away, Yun Qingshi walked straight towards the desk where Xiao Jiwu was. Finally, he stopped on the side of the desk where the inkstone was placed, lowered his eyes and began to look around.
All the tools are available, and there is plenty of clean water in the water basin.
Yun Qingshi was not worried either, as he had just learned calligraphy.
Although he didn't put much effort into it, he was able to write quite well, not to mention grinding the ink.
However, there were several ink sticks in the ink cartridge, and Yun Qingshi didn't know which one to use.
To avoid someone suddenly causing trouble again, he wisely chose to ask in advance: "Which ink would you like to use, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Jiwu raised his eyes to look at the young man, opened his thin lips slightly, and replied: "Songyanmo."
Yun Qingshi understood what was going on when he heard the sound. He nodded, picked up the lotus-shaped water jug next to him, and began to add water to the inkstone.
You don't need too much, just a few drops are enough.
After the bottom of the inkstone is covered, you can start grinding ink.
Yun Qingshi then found the pine soot ink that Xiao Jiwu requested and began to grind the ink.
In fact, it is just about controlling the force and rotating at a constant speed until you get the ink state you want.
Yun Qingshi was grinding seriously and looked calm.
Xiao Jiwu looked at the young man's appearance at this moment, and his restless heart inexplicably calmed down a little.
I have to admit that the boy looked really charming at this moment, with his long eyelashes drooping lightly, and he looked very quiet and otherworldly, and extremely well-behaved.
However, it also caused Xiao Jiwu to be a little distracted.
But in fact, Yun Qingshi was wondering at this moment, when would dinner be served?
He is hungry because he has clearly exceeded his exercise limit today.
It’s not good for the patient to be hungry for too long!
The ink was ground in about half a minute. Yun Qingshi thought the thickness was just right and there was nothing wrong with it, so he reported to Xiao Jiwu, "Your Majesty, the ink is ready."
After hearing this, Xiao Jiwu nodded slightly, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and began to write on the paper, but he didn't say much.
Yun Qingshi was worried that he might see something he shouldn't have seen and be silenced, so he silently took a few steps back and continued to perform his duties as a secret guard.
Then he couldn't help but wonder why Ye Runan hadn't come to change his dressing today.
The dressings were changed in the afternoon a few days ago, but today it’s already dark and no one is around.
Could it be that you went to the secret guard room and didn't find him, so you're not going to care about him anymore?
Although he is a secret guard, he is also a life!
And maybe it's because the dressing hasn't been changed for too long, and because I moved around too much today, the wound is really painful right now.
He really wanted to lie down on the bed for a while.
But Xiao Jiwu hadn't even laid down yet, so he obviously couldn't do that. The most he could do was sit for a while.
After a little hesitation, Yun Qingshi began to move quietly to the stool next to him.
He is still injured, and I hope Xiao Jiwu can understand him a little.
Fortunately, this time Xiao Jiwu never looked up and had no intention of stopping him.
Yun Qingshi finally sat down on the stool smoothly.
But just as he rested for a while, someone knocked on the palace door from outside.
Then Ye Runan's voice came: "Your Highness, I'm here to change the medicine for Ying Shiyi."
Yun Qingshi felt relieved after hearing this and stood up silently, waiting for the doctor to change the dressing for him.
Xiao Jiwu stopped writing when he heard the voice, and then said to the door, "Come in."
The next moment, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard, and Ye Runan brought the medicine boy into the hall.
The moment he entered the palace, the little medicine boy knelt down and saluted towards Xiao Jiwu politely: "Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty."
Ye Runan walked straight to the desk and expressed his dissatisfaction without hesitation: "Prince Xiao, why didn't you tell someone to inform me when you brought the person back? I made a wasted trip, but you are relieved."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This Ye Runan doesn't look like an ordinary doctor.
He is more like Xiao Jiwu's friend.
How dare you speak to the future villain tyrant like that!
Xiao Jiwu was unusually not displeased after hearing this. He simply put down his pen and said calmly, "I forgot."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi confirmed his guess.
Ye Runan rolled his eyes speechlessly after hearing this: "As expected of a prince, noble people tend to forget things. That's all. I'm too lazy to argue with you."
