Qin Zhao was stunned.
It had been a long time since anyone dared to speak like this in front of him.
It’s not that the Regent has any taboos, but no one has ever dared to offend him like this.
But the boy didn't seem to think what he said was offensive at all. He lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
Qin Zhao just looked at him quietly, his eyes softening little by little.
"Yeah, you look good too."
The Regent's answer was so soft that Jing Li didn't hear it clearly. When he wanted to ask again, the Regent had already lowered his head and drank his soup, only perfunctorily saying to him, "Don't talk while eating."
Qin Zhao had already eaten today and only drank some soup with Jing Li. Most of the food went into Jing Li's stomach.
After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, Jing Li leaned back in his chair and rubbed his stomach: "I ate too much again..."
"They say fish don't know when to eat or when to full, and they can easily eat themselves to death. It seems to be true." Qin Zhao had already found a book and started reading it. He didn't even look up when he said this. "It seems I can't feed you so much in the future."
Jing Li frowned.
He thought that the Regent had ordered too much food to be prepared, and he ate it all up so he didn't want to waste it.
He was about to retort, but then he noticed another meaning in the Regent's words and asked, "In the future?"
Qin Zhao turned a page of the book and said calmly, "Well, what's going on?"
"I...are you still willing to support me?"
Qin Zhao listened to this and turned his head to look at the young man beside him. He said in a righteous tone, "You are the birthday gift given to me by the current emperor. Why should I not accept it?"
"You don't suspect I'm a monster that harms people anymore?"
"I'm suspicious, so I keep you by my side and watch you carefully." Qin Zhao said, "Now it's your turn to choose. Do you want to be a human or continue to be a fish?"
Jing Li thought of the food on the table and said without hesitation: "People!"
Qin Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "I will arrange for someone to send you a few sets of clothes. From now on, you will be my personal attendant. Little silly fish, hide your fish tail well and don't show it."
.
Jing Li inexplicably went from being the Regent's pet fish to his personal attendant.
Although he was called an attendant, the Regent didn't really use him much, and he was still well fed and well fed. Jing Li didn't quite understand the rules of being an attendant, and the Regent didn't intend to have anyone teach him properly.
He has no shortage of servants who know the rules, so it would be meaningless to be too cautious with him.
but……
What servant would dare to stay up late at night in his master's house, handling affairs, while he himself dozes off beside him?
After Qin Zhao finished marking a memorial, he turned his head and saw the young man fast asleep at the table.
I immediately got furious.
Qin Zhao sat up straight and coughed heavily.
The boy next to him simply changed his posture, as if he was sleeping even more deeply.
Qin Zhao: "..."
Qin Zhao was almost pissed off and laughed. He leaned over and was about to push him awake when he suddenly heard the young man mutter, "Qin Zhao..."
They even dare to call me by my name.
He is very courageous.
Qin Zhao patiently listened to what he wanted to say.
The young man was dressed like a servant, his long hair hanging down his back, with only a few strands scattered on his cheeks. His face looked very soft, even his slightly parted lips were moist and soft.
Qin Zhao's mouth was dry as he looked away, and he heard the boy speak again: "...Don't eat me."
