Chapter 249: Beloved Partner, It Should Be So
Yun Qingshi frowned and continued, "Who told you to think about the purification? Do you know how much pain it would be? If you are not careful, you might even lose your life. Besides, don't you believe that one's body and hair are given by one's parents? You must be aware of what the purification is, right?"
According to the rules of the feudal dynasty, except for the guards, all men who stayed in the palace to serve had to be castrated and become eunuchs.
Changshun doesn't know martial arts and can't be a guard. It's obviously too late for him to learn now. If he is forced to join the Yulin Army, it might harm him instead.
So the best option is to let Changshun stay outside the palace.
He had previously told Changshun to think carefully about what he would do in the future, but in the end, this was the answer he gave him.
Yun Qingshi was really disappointed with the child.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, there are so many things to do, why did you have to enter the palace to become a eunuch!
Of course, he also knew that Changshun was loyal and unwilling to leave them.
But he must not harm Changshun.
It's too late to regret it later.
Chang Shun immediately saw an opportunity when he heard this and said hastily, "My parents died when I was young, and I'm an orphan. No one will blame me. Please, sir, just agree to my request."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi pinched his eyebrows with a headache, feeling a little uncomfortable.
It was also the first time he knew Changshun was an orphan...
After thinking for a while, Yun Qingshi said to Zhao Mingde: "Eunuch Zhao, please talk to him."
Zhao Mingde was a person who suffered greatly from this, so naturally what he said was more convincing than his.
Zhao Mingde nodded and sighed when he heard this, then he grabbed Changshun's arm, pulled him aside, and began to persuade him: "Changshun, can't you hear that the adults are doing this for your own good?"
"I've been a eunuch for half my life. If my family wasn't so poor that I was starving to death when I was little, who would send their child to the palace to be a eunuch?"
"This isn't an easy job. Don't be foolish. The master has given you such a good place, so just go. If you're loyal, go and help the master take care of Shanhaixuan. Do you understand? Don't make things difficult for the master anymore. He's such a good man, he won't agree to let you become a eunuch no matter what."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but nodded silently in agreement.
What Zhao Mingde said is very good.
Changshun looked at Yun Qingshi again with red eyes: "Sir..."
Meeting Changshun's gaze, Yun Qingshi immediately stated his position seriously: "Eunuch Zhao is right."
Seeing this, Changshun finally understood.
After a long while, he nodded slowly and said, "I understand. I will go to Shanhaixuan and look after the shop for you, sir."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Changshun on the shoulder and said, "That's great! I need someone I trust enough to help me look after the shop. Okay, then help clean up the side hall first."
"Yes." Changshun nodded again and joined the team cleaning up.
Yun Qingshi also continued to pack all the necessary items.
The afternoon sun streamed into the house through the open windows, illuminating the side hall with brightness and warmth. Yun Qingshi glanced at the busy people in the hall one by one, and felt his heart also become calm and filled with warmth.
Everyone is doing well, that's good.
He couldn't help but look out the window with a smile, but unexpectedly he bumped into Prince Xiao's charming eyes.
Yun Qingshi's smile suddenly became even brighter, and the boy's eyes were sparkling with joy that he could not hide.
"Awu is back."
Xiao Jiwu also smiled and walked closer to the young man, then responded to Yun Qingshi: "Well, I'm back."
His eyes swept across the empty walls and several open drawers, and he asked gently, "Qingqing, did you see everything?"
Yun Qingshi nodded deliberately and seriously: "Yes, I saw it. You put it so conspicuously, doesn't it mean that you are not afraid of me seeing it?"
After hearing this, Xiao Jiwu smiled, rubbed the boy's head, and nodded in response: "Yes."
He then asked, "You must be exhausted. Do you want to go back and have some tea and snacks?"
He wasn't tired at all. With so many people working together, he didn't have to climb up and down to carry heavy objects. Most of the time he was just figuring out what he needed to take with him and what he needed to leave behind, so he wasn't tired at all. However, Xiao Jiwu was back, and Yun Qingshi really wanted to go back to the bedroom and sit with her boyfriend for a while.
So he nodded without hesitation: "Yeah."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu gently extended his hand towards Yun Qingshi: "Let's go."
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi spoke without hesitation: "Walking so close together and still holding hands? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Although he said it in a disgusting way, he still honestly put his hand into the man's big palm.
Prince Xiao squeezed the young man's palm and replied confidently, "As a beloved partner, this is as it should be."
What a beloved partner! Yun Qingshi nodded in approval and followed Xiao Jiwu back to the main hall.
In the hall, Yun Duo was originally playing with a rabbit doll made of cotton cloth. When she heard the sound, she immediately put the rabbit down and ran to Yun Qingshi's feet to be affectionate with him.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but bend down and pick up little Yunduo and pet her for a while: "Duoduo, you came to find me~"
Of course, he washed his hands when it was time to eat.
It happened that the kitchen had made some new snacks, and Yun Qingshi tried them all out of curiosity.
Whenever he tasted something delicious, he would feed it to Xiao Jiwu.
"This is delicious, Ah Wu, you should try it too."
Xiao Jiwu naturally would not refuse his own boy. No matter whether it was delicious or not, as long as Yun Qingshi put it in front of his mouth, he would accept it all, and he did not mind at all that what they were eating was actually a piece of dessert.
After a while, Changshun hurried over and asked outside the hall: "Sir, do you think I should take this with me?"
When Yun Qingshi heard the sound, he clapped his hands, stood up and walked to the door to take a look, and found that it was another collection of Mr. Xiao.
A set of nine-ring puzzles that he had played before.
Yun Qingshi nodded without much thought: "Take it with you."
"Yes." Changshun nodded quickly in response.
Just at this moment, a maid with an unfamiliar face came towards Yian Hall with a pot of tea.
This was not a big problem. Changshun and Bitao had been following him to do other things these past two days, so some of the work of serving tea and water was done by someone else.
But the problem is, just by taking a glance from a distance, Yun Qingshi had a weird feeling.
Then the more he looked at the maid, the more he felt something was wrong.
So when the maid approached his side, Yun Qingshi stopped her: "Wait a moment."
The maid was already feeling guilty because of what she had done, and now she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Yun Qingshi immediately confirmed that there was something wrong with this maid, and his face immediately turned cold and he wanted to take the wooden tray from the maid's hand.
Seeing this, the maid immediately pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Yun Qingshi with all her might...
(Fill the holes, fill the holes, work hard to fill the holes!)
