Duofu suddenly seemed to have found his direction, and he jumped up.
Is his pet owner's birthday coming up?
Duofu counted on his fingers; it seemed to be around the middle of next month.
There should be enough time. He has nothing to do all day long, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to learn how to dress up. In addition, he has a background in art, so his aesthetic sense shouldn't be bad. Even if his aesthetic sense isn't great, it doesn't matter.
He has a good natural physique; even a rag would look good on him.
Duofu believes that even if he actually put a burlap sack on his body, his pet owner would still praise him for his good taste.
Duofu planned to design the clothes himself, and as for the headdress, he wanted the gold and gemstone one, which was so shiny and sparkly, it would be so beautiful.
He wants his clothes to be bright red and purple, and to look very expensive. He wants a lot of big flowers embroidered on them with gold thread, with roses being the prettiest. But forget it, let's just embroider chrysanthemums, which his pet owner likes.
Chrysanthemums are a perfect match for gold thread, so I'll embroider several colors.
Duofu's mind was already starting to design what kind of clothes he wanted; as for what fabric to use, only Su Peisheng could decide.
Anyway, Su Peisheng would never give him anything inferior. If there really isn't anything good, he can just go to his pet owner's stash and pick out a few more bolts of cloth.
Duofu quickly arrived at the table, picked up a pen and began to draw. He would draw and stop, sometimes frowning, sometimes scratching his head, and sometimes grinning.
When Duofu is engrossed in something, he becomes very focused and is not easily disturbed by other things.
Only when no more sunlight streamed in did Duofu put down his brush, look at the clothes he had drawn, and nod his own little head. He was quite satisfied with himself.
He'll add some color tomorrow, and it'll look even better. Then I'll ask Su Peisheng to take it down and make it for him secretly.
Su Peisheng usually wouldn't report such trivial matters unless he did something that he had to tell his pet owner.
For example, he is now planning to visit a brothel and have some drinks.
Su Peisheng will definitely go and tell on him.
Then, before he could even walk out, someone from who-knows-where forced him to go back inside.
Then, after his pet owner gets off work, he'll give him a good beating.
Duofu was very dissatisfied with this, so he went inside to see what was wrong with the pretty young lady.
This helped improve his aesthetic sense; seeing gold and silver treasures every day was making him almost a vulgar person.
His pet owner always teaches him not to be so materialistic, not to be so obsessed with money.
He wanted to see the outside world, but his pet owner wouldn't allow it. How feudal!
He clearly assured everyone that he would only look and at most touch her little hand. Everyone loves beauty, and it's hard not to take a second look when you see something pretty.
That's perfectly normal.
Duofu smacked his lips. His pet owner was so petty and narrow-minded. An emperor should have a bigger heart.
Duofu glanced at the drawing paper in his hand, then quickly brought his thoughts back to the present. He looked out the window; his pet owner was about to come home, and he needed to find a place to put the drawing paper away quickly.
His pet owner mustn't see this now, or they'll think he's trying to make clothes for some pretty young lady.
Duofu also has some happy troubles: his pet owner is a bit petty and seems to get jealous easily.
He had been paying more attention to the handsome and refined-looking guard, but after a while, the guard disappeared. He asked Su Peisheng and found out that the guard had been transferred by his pet owner and was no longer working there.
This is outrageous! At least the maids serving in the courtyard are all pretty.
If his pet owner brings him a bunch of ugly things, he'll definitely kick him under the bed.
What's wrong with liking to look at pretty things?
Who doesn't have a love for beauty?
There isn't a single ugly woman in his pet owner's backyard. There definitely weren't any before; he'd seen all the women from before.
He didn't know what happened in the following years.
However, he believes his pet owner isn't blind and doesn't have any unusual fetishes, so it's unlikely they would like something ugly.
Duofu dried the drawing paper, rolled it up neatly, and stuffed it under the bed. It was the only place he felt safe.
He hasn't been hiding under the bed much lately, so there's a lower chance he'll be found here.
Duofu has been acting a bit neurotic these past few days, constantly looking outside as if afraid his human owner might come back to haunt him at any moment.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. He was in his study looking at a colored drawing book, engrossed in it.
His pet owner somehow slipped in without a sound, and judging from the sky, it was clearly not yet time for his pet owner to leave the palace.
He returned from skipping work, smiling happily. But when he looked up and saw a figure, he was so frightened that he didn't know where to hide the books in his arms.
In a flurry of activity, he shoved his toes under his bottom and sat down.
Looking up at his cat owner with an obedient expression, Duofu still remembers his trembling voice: "Fourth Brother, why are you leaving the palace so early today? Is something wrong? If you have something to do, go ahead and do it, don't worry about me."
Before Duofu could even react, he was lifted up by his owner's hand.
That opportunistic Su Peisheng, without anyone knowing when, respectfully presented the storybook he was hiding under his butt to his cat owner.
His pet owner's expression at that time was quite interesting, changing colors all over the place, before finally reverting to factory settings.
