The maids in the room all consciously withdrew, because the Fourth Prince did not like anyone serving him when he was practicing calligraphy.
Apart from the unexpected Duofu, everyone else withdrew, including Su Peisheng, the Fourth Prince's personal eunuch, who also retreated to the doorway, ready to await the Fourth Prince's orders at any time.
Duofu was full of questions. "You're practicing calligraphy, and you're making him stay in the study? What's going on? What's so fun about this little room, except that it's a bit warmer?"
In the small study, there were two braziers that were burning, slowly emitting heat, which instantly warmed the entire room.
Duofu rolled around happily on the carpet. After rolling around a few times, he lay down to the side and patted his full little belly with his two paws.
Its two big fox eyes darted around, looking here and there, with a shifty, sneaky look. It wagged its tail as it moved its eyes.
Gradually, the two fox eyes slowly became dazed, as if they were in a daze.
Duofu was filled with questions, thinking about what the Fourth Prince had said yesterday.
If a fox demon can transform into a human, is it possible that this reborn puppy is also a demon, and under certain special circumstances, or as it grows older, it could also transform into human form and start anew?
How do those animals in novels transform into humans? By absorbing the essence of the sun and moon? I could try that sometime.
Cultivating by sucking human blood? Forget about that, that's not right either. Whenever the pet owner misbehaves, just bite them a couple of times and suck their blood.
Or does it have to be at a specific moment? For example, when the seven stars align or when the moon is eclipsed by a celestial dog.
After a moment of random thoughts, Duofu quickly shook his head, yawned a few times, and thought to himself.
There's no rush right now. The most important thing is to get some sleep and conserve your energy.
Just thinking about this makes my eyes feel heavy. I feel sleepy after eating, so I'll take a nap first.
After the Fourth Prince finished practicing his calligraphy, he looked up in Duofu's direction and found that Duofu was already snoring softly, fast asleep on the white carpet.
There was a brazier nearby, so Duofu wasn't worried about getting cold.
Duofu felt warm all over and couldn't feel the slightest bit of cold.
The Fourth Prince walked over to the sleeping Duofu and muttered to himself.
"Is this some kind of pig that you're raising? It just eats and then sleeps."
Duofu was restless in his sleep, feeling as if someone was cursing him, and he unconsciously made two noises.
"Which bastard dares to insult me?"
The Fourth Prince, who was standing nearby, chuckled as he watched this scene.
"You really know how to handle things, don't you?"
The Fourth Prince was still worried that Duo Duo would catch a cold if he left her there, so he gently carried her out of the small study.
Su Peisheng, who was outside the door, heard footsteps coming from inside early in the morning and opened the door early, waiting for the Fourth Prince to appear.
Seeing the Fourth Prince emerge from the study, she quickly draped a cloak over him to protect him from the wind and snow that might cause him to catch a cold.
The Fourth Prince put Duofu back on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and ordered everyone to light all the braziers in the room. Soon, the whole room became warm, and he instructed people to take good care of Duofu.
The Fourth Prince then got up and left the room, heading towards Consort Tong's main hall. Usually, after finishing his calligraphy practice, the Fourth Prince would go to the main hall to chat with Consort Tong for a while, telling her about his practice and trying to make her happy. Then he would stay there for dinner, and in the evening he would return to his room to wash up and rest.
On his way to find Consort Tong, the Fourth Prince kept thinking about it.
Yesterday, my mother said she would come to have dinner with me today. I wonder if she will have time to come and join me.
There probably is, otherwise Mother will be sad again.
The Fourth Prince's expression changed repeatedly, and his personal eunuch, Su Peisheng, observed him closely.
A knot formed in my heart.
What happened? Why does the master seem unhappy? He racked his brains for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he lowered his head even further and walked even quieter, trying to minimize his presence.
Suddenly, the Fourth Prince stopped in his tracks, his little face serious as he looked at Su Peisheng.
"Su Peisheng, I'm asking you, will Father Emperor come to dine with Mother today?"
Su Peisheng had initially thought he had done something wrong and offended his master, and felt a little uneasy. But when he heard the Fourth Prince's question, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out it wasn't something he did wrong, that's good. So, Su Peisheng quickly perked up, racked his brains, and answered rapidly.
"Your Majesty, since His Majesty has promised the Empress, he will definitely come to dine with her."
Su Peisheng took another breath and continued.
"Even if he didn't come, he must have been delayed by state affairs. Your Majesty will understand. Besides, Your Majesty will definitely be happy to have a master accompany you for a meal."
The Fourth Prince's face gradually returned to its normal round, round shape. His little mouth pouted slightly, and his two phoenix eyes held a touch of childlike innocence as he spoke with a hint of joy.
"That's right, Mother will definitely be happy. I'll have dinner with Mother."
