The Fourth Prince didn't know how long he had been watching, but he hugged his little darling tightly in his arms, and his eyelids began to droop slightly.
Fighting off sleepiness, I glanced at my little darling who was already sleeping soundly before finally letting myself drift off to sleep, and we both fell asleep together.
Su Peisheng stood guard outside, listening intently for a long time, but he didn't hear any commotion inside.
I scratched my head, and I really couldn't figure it out right now.
Shouldn't we do it again, as we always have?
Why is it that this time she's taking a proper bath and changing clothes?
Su Peisheng listened intently for a long time and then heard the familiar panting and snoring of his little darling, a sound that only his little darling could make.
It sounds so cute and adorable; it snores and even breathes a few times, but it's not noisy at all. In fact, it has a hypnotic effect.
Su Peisheng quickly shook his head. He was getting sleepy as he listened, and it seemed he had fallen asleep.
Su Peisheng thought for a moment and decided to leave it for now and deal with it together when his master woke up.
The servants below, not knowing their own strength, woke up their master, who had finally fallen asleep.
---
The next morning, the Fourth Prince had already gotten up and gone to his study, while Duofu, that lazybones, was still fast asleep in bed.
He never gets up early; if he does, it must be because of some major gossip or something that forces him to get out of bed.
Now that his owner is back, he's sleeping soundly.
Su Peisheng knocked on the study door, went in and whispered, "Your Highness, Consort Li has sent someone to say that the princes miss you. I wonder if Your Highness has time to visit them today?"
Su Peisheng didn't want to take on this thankless task, but this concubine was willing to spend money, and his master's mood was obviously much better than it had been recently.
Moreover, just going to see the young masters in the backyard might bring some joy to their master.
The Fourth Prince remained silent for a long time. Su Peisheng thought he was going to fail, so he silently lifted his foot and walked out, pretending that nothing had happened.
Before he could turn around, the Fourth Prince gently raised his head, glanced at him, and hummed in response.
Su Peisheng looked up with some surprise, not expecting that his master had finally deigned to go and see the young masters.
Su Peisheng counted on his fingers; his master hadn't seen the inner courtyard for at least three months. He had been busy recently, plus the Crown Prince's affair.
The master really didn't have the time to go to the backyard. He didn't even have enough time to spend with his little darling, let alone have the leisure to go to the backyard.
Su Peisheng didn't expect his master to visit any of the princesses; he just wanted to see the young masters and make his master happy.
Su Peisheng was very pleased and sent someone to tell Consort Li to prepare with the princes.
Duofu, half-asleep, squinted and reached out his arms for a hug.
After waiting for a long time, I was not pulled into a familiar embrace.
Duofu's somewhat confused mind cleared up. Why hadn't his pet owner come to hug him?
Logically speaking, his pet owner should have returned from the study by this time. Did he get up early today?
Duofu glanced at the rather large clock opposite the bed, but it wasn't there. He usually clocked around this time.
Does the cat owner have something else going on in the study?
Duofu lay lazily on the bed, his eyes glancing towards the door.
The Fourth Prince had just stepped into the courtyard when Duofu heard the familiar footsteps again, and a smile began to spread across his face.
Unexpectedly, his face changed immediately, and his mouth was so full of oil that it looked like an oil bottle could be hung from it.
As soon as the Fourth Prince stepped into the room, he saw the little prince lying on the bed with his mouth hanging high and his face full of displeasure.
The Fourth Prince checked the time and, having lingered a bit too long in the backyard, missed the time when his little darling woke up.
The Fourth Prince took two steps in three, reached out and picked up the little prince who was still lying on the bed, and put him on his lap. He lowered his head and kissed the little mouth that was hanging high.
"What's going on so early in the morning? Who's been blind enough to upset my little darling?"
Duofu thought to himself, "Who else could possibly upset me? Only my human can make me unhappy. I don't care about anything else."
"Hmph, hoo, hoo hoo... hoo hoo."
Duofu buried his head and started howling.
The Fourth Prince smiled as he washed, dressed, and put on shoes for the little darling, then gently picked him up and carried him to the food that had been prepared outside the screen.
The Fourth Prince patted the little prince's bottom gently with a look of doting affection, a smile playing on his lips.
"Stop yelling at me, I know. Next time Duoduo wakes up, I'll definitely be by your side. Hurry up and fill your little tummy first."
Duofu had just drunk half a glass of water and was feeling hungry when he smelled a familiar aroma.
It was his favorite roast duck, and his eyes widened instantly.
He didn't know why, after eating so many different delicious dishes, he still felt that roast duck was the best, both physically and mentally.
Peking duck is always his number one dish. If he doesn't eat Peking duck at least four times a week, he feels like the week has been wasted.
Duofu felt that his little temper shouldn't let him go hungry, and besides, his pet owner had just apologized to him.
He is a magnanimous person, unlike his petty pet owner.
Duofu immediately opened his mouth wide, making "ah ah ah" sounds, signaling to his owner that it was time to start feeding him vegetables.
Duofu doesn't necessarily need his pet owner to feed him; it's just that his pet owner is so enthusiastic that he has no choice but to reluctantly let his pet owner do this.
