"Are there any interesting stories from the past?" Ah Chou asked cautiously. She couldn't bear to hear Zhong Mingwei sighing, and she felt uncomfortable. "Tell me about it."
"Really," Zhong Mingwei met Ah Chou's eyes, and a hint of excitement flashed in his peach blossom eyes. "When I was a child, I was greedy. I ate a few extra bowls of ice. Later, I had a stomachache in the middle of the night, which alarmed the Queen Mother. Later, the Queen Mother rubbed my stomach for half the night. Just like you now."
"Really? You can still be so naughty? I thought you were so calm and mature since you were born," Ah Chou also laughed, and tilted her head to think about her childhood. After a while, she really thought of something interesting. Before she opened her mouth, she smiled with her mouth pursed. "Hehe. Hehe!"
Zhong Mingwei was curious: "What's so funny? Why are you laughing like this?"
"There are many wild cats in the laundry department. I don't know why, but all the wild cats in the palace seem to run to the laundry department. I was puzzled when I was a child. If there are wild cats, shouldn't they run to the imperial kitchen? Why do they come to our laundry department?" Ah Chou rubbed Zhong Mingwei's belly and squinted at Zhong Mingwei. "Do you know the reason?"
Zhong Mingwei really didn't know, so he shook his head.
"Later, I saw that Xiang Ma always left half of her meals to feed the wild cats, and I finally knew why." Thinking of Xiang Ma, Ah Chou smiled softly, and his voice became gentle, with the warmth of recalling the past. "I laughed and thought that Xiang Ma attracted the wild cats, but later I followed Xiang Ma to feed the wild cats. The wild cats didn't recognize me at first. I broke steamed buns for them to eat, and they didn't dare to come over. But gradually, the wild cats became familiar with me. As soon as they saw me, they meowed and clinged to me. Xiang Ma said that I was more attractive to cats and dogs than she was."
"What happened next?" Zhong Mingwei couldn't help but ask.
"Later, Madam Xiang left," Ah Chou said in a low voice, "and I left the laundry department too."
Zhong Mingwei did not ask any more questions. He looked at Ah Chou's drooping eyebrows and the dark red scar on his chin. After a pause, he spoke again: "When I was a child, I also had a good nanny by my side..."
His eyelids were a little itchy, and Zhong Mingwei couldn't continue speaking. His eyelids twitched a few times. Then Ah Chou raised his hand from his lower abdomen and gently placed it on Zhong Mingwei's eyelids. Then he pinched off a thin hair, put it to his mouth, and blew the hair away with a "puff".
"In fact, she is not a good nanny," Zhong Mingwei continued after his eyelids stopped itching. "Why do you say that? Because she is only good to me, and she is particularly rude to others. She is the empress dowager's personal maid, and she raised me single-handedly. She has a lot of experience and a big air, so naturally no one dares to provoke her, and she became even more rude, haha. But she is really good to me. As long as it is something I like to eat and play, she will make sure to let me eat and play, no matter what. Later, when I grew up and was about to become an adult, her brain was not very good at that time, but she still remembered that I loved drinking milk tea when I was a child, and she would bring me milk tea from time to time..."
"Is it delicious?" Achou asked softly.
"It tastes good, but later she got a little confused, either adding too much milk or too much honey, and it always tastes so greasy," Zhong Mingwei smiled faintly, "But as long as it's made by her, it tastes good."
