Having served the Fourth Prince for so many years, Su Peisheng was not one of those short-sighted individuals. He had handled many imperial gifts bestowed upon him by the palace, including some priceless treasures.
However, compared to the items in the Fourth Prince's inner treasury, they still lacked some of the exquisiteness and preciousness.
Su Peisheng knew that many of the items were Empress Tong's dowry; indeed, daughters of prominent families had quite a few treasures hidden away.
The Fourth Prince put Duofu down, casually pointed to the items in the inner treasury, his eyes filled with doting affection, his voice low and husky, alluring.
"Duoduo, I'll let you pick one at random now, consider it a gift before you start learning."
Duofu glanced back at the Fourth Prince and saw him nodding with a smile, so he stopped being so polite.
Duofu blinked his big eyes. He really had never seen so many valuable things before. He didn't understand those antiques and such. He just ran towards whatever looked bright.
Duofu stood in front of a large golden bowl with a lid made of gold and decorated with gemstones of various colors, which immediately elevated the grandeur of the bowl.
Duofu glanced back at the Fourth Prince's eyes and, seeing that he did not refuse, reached out to take the large bowl.
He stretched out both hands and tried hard, but couldn't move the big bowl much. Duofu's smile became even wider. This meant that the big gold bowl was pure gold, definitely not one of those hollow ones. It was just the right size to fit all his little gold carts inside, and there might even be room to spare. In the future, he would put all his valuable things into this big gold bowl.
Duofu had already decided that the big golden bowl would be placed opposite the bed, so that he could see the glittering bowl every morning when he woke up.
I can feel great every day. Even if I'm feeling down, just looking at this big golden bowl will definitely cheer me up.
Duofu held the large golden bowl, which he couldn't lift, and looked at the Fourth Prince with a gleaming gaze.
"Fourth Brother, I want this one. I will definitely study hard with you from now on and I will never cheat or shirk my studies."
"Hurry up and tell Su Peisheng to move it back to my room and put it on that shelf, the one opposite the bed, so I can see it every morning when I wake up."
Duofu smiled so hard his eyes narrowed, revealing a row of adorable little teeth, while his chubby little hands gripped the bowl lid tightly.
The Fourth Prince smiled and nodded, not refusing, but rather smiling like a fox who had just stolen some fish.
"This is what Duoduo herself said; Grandpa and Su Peisheng heard it."
"You can't cheat in the future."
Duofu is radiating happiness right now and isn't thinking about the future at all. He's just happy now and will worry about studying later.
He really couldn't concentrate on his studies; he refused to believe that the Fourth Prince could force him.
Anyway, he's already received one gift; as for the others...
Duofu looked up and glanced around. There were quite a few other shiny and pretty things here, which looked quite valuable.
Duofu swallowed hard; he wanted some too. The solid weight from the little fat man's hand brought Duofu back to his senses, and he decided to put aside everything else for now.
Let's take this big golden bowl out first. It's his anyway, regardless of whether he's received proper education or not.
whee.
Happy.
When Duofu was carried out of the inner treasury by the Fourth Prince, he did not forget to remind Su Peisheng to quickly bring out the big gold bowl so that it would not gather dust in the inner treasury.
---
Since receiving the gift last time, Duofu has been very happy. It was a large, valuable gold bowl made of pure gold that was both beautiful and practical.
In addition, the Fourth Prince has been quite busy lately, and said that he would start his formal education after his birthday this year.
Duofu was absolutely in favor of it, and he wasn't in a hurry at all about early education.
The most important thing is the Fourth Prince's marriage to his wife. This is a major event in his life and cannot be taken lightly.
The Fourth Prince should pay more attention to this himself and not focus so much on his early education.
Duofu, with his clever mind, thought about it these past few days. He realized that once the Fourth Prince's wife entered the household, he might be even busier and wouldn't have the time or inclination to focus on his early education.
Then he just made a fortune out of nothing.
Duofu's eyes narrowed with laughter, and the corners of his mouth were turned up high.
The Fourth Prince is truly a good person; there's nothing wrong with him.
Duofu laboriously opened the jeweled gold lid and looked inside at his valuables.
Every year, he would save the gold ingots that the Fourth Prince gave him for the New Year, putting them in a small box, but he never took out the larger ones.
But there are also those small, tiny gold ingots, gold melon seeds, gold peanuts, and those little trinkets made of silver.
One side of the bowl was piled high with gold. Duofu looked at his little stash of money accumulated over the years, stretched out his chubby little hand, and touched it affectionately.
"Wait a little longer. When I grow up and the Fourth Prince leaves the palace, I will take you out to spend money."
"Go out and eat well and drink well, go and explore places he's never been before."
Duofu especially wanted to see what ancient brothels and flower houses looked like.
Are all the girls in it really that pretty?
He patted his little belly, feeling a bit annoyed. He needed to grow up quickly, otherwise he would still be a tiny little thing by the time the Fourth Prince left the palace to establish his own residence.
Don't even mention going out to play; you might get caught and forced to study too.
Duofu has been living a very leisurely life lately. The Fourth Prince treats him too well, and Duofu initially enjoyed it.
But this kind of good fortune is too abnormal. Duofu rarely uses his brain, so it seems that the Fourth Prince must have dug a big pit for him to jump into.
But nothing much has happened recently; the Fourth Prince has been busy with his own wedding preparations.
The arrangements for his early education have all been made, and it will be around the time after his birthday, when his wife will have already entered the household.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any major problems, but Duofu always felt that the Fourth Prince was hiding a knife behind his smile, and he just had a malicious look on his face.
It made him so comfortable that he became somewhat uneasy.
Duofu slapped his forehead. Really, what was he thinking?
Why shouldn't we enjoy the good times?
I was about to live a life with a tight schedule, and now I feel so relaxed.
The Fourth Prince always indulged his desires, and he could eat whatever he wanted, except that he had to get up and walk around to digest his food.
Duofu has decided to give up; it must be because he's been having too many comfortable days lately and is becoming paranoid.
That's not a good habit.
He's best suited to be a simple, single-celled organism; he shouldn't waste his brain thinking about all that nonsense.
Duofu looked at the cheesecake that had just been served from the kitchen, and the air was filled with a sweet, milky aroma. Duofu sniffed.
He has more important things to do now and doesn't have the mind to think about anything else.
The cheesecake won't taste good if it gets any colder.
The chubby little hand picked one up and took a big bite.
They ate one bite at a time, their chubby little faces puffing up, making them look even more plump and blessed.
