Chapter 109

"How infuriating, Master! I don't know which damned..."

Xiao Luzi was so angry that he cried while reporting, "You only got a pack of instant noodles, and there's none left..."

Wail.

Xiao Luzi was truly heartbroken.

"That instant noodles, even the Sixth Prince couldn't eat it. It was only because of Concubine Liu's idea to use preserved meat that the Imperial Kitchen made roast duck, which they specially prepared to serve you and Concubine Liu."

Instant noodles were a rare delicacy in the palace now!

Xiao Yunzhou decreed that the Internal Affairs Department and the Imperial Kitchen should work together to urgently produce a batch of instant noodles to first supply to the West Mountain Camp.

Even the Empress couldn't eat them at will; the West Mountain Camp's supply came first.

"It's fine, there will be opportunities in the future," Cheng Qian comforted him. "If you and I roam the battlefields in the future, you will definitely get to eat them."

The wind rustled the leaves.

On the crossbeam of the Qianxi No.5 Residence, a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness flickered.

"Find the seal I carved yesterday. After dinner tonight, I want to give it to my sister."

After finishing the instant noodles, Cheng Qian missed his adorable Chu Chu even more.

But this brother still had to go study in the study room. Only by making progress could he provide his sister with a better life in the future.

"Let's go. The tutor will be angry if we're late."

Cheng Qian got up, asking Xiao Luzi to check that his clothes were neat and tidy, then had him carry his books and follow him to the study room.

To get from the Qianxi No.5 Residence to the study room, they had to go through a winding stone path lined with bamboo on both sides.

Cheng Qian and Xiao Luzi hurried along, but halfway through, they heard a commotion.

"You little waste, you made the Head Supervisor Wei angry!"

"You bumped into the Little Princess and got Head Supervisor Wei scolded!"

"If you're smart, go apologize to Head Supervisor Wei yourself! Say you're not feeling well!"

Cheng Qian frowned and stopped in his tracks.

He hadn't heard his mother mention this incident. His sister had been collided with?

Cheng Qian immediately left Xiao Luzi behind and headed towards the grove.

As he got closer, his brow furrowed and his expression darkened.

He saw five or six tall and burly eunuchs surrounding a rather thin and frail one, not only beating and kicking him, but also pressing his head into the pond.

His head was almost entirely submerged in the icy cold water of winter, his entire neck soaked.

A large part of his cotton robe was drenched.

But the frail eunuch struggled violently, trying to escape, only to be held down by the tall and burly group of eunuchs.

It seemed that his struggle was getting weaker and weaker.

"Stop!" Cheng Qian intervened without much thought, scolding the people who were about to drown the man to death!

In the bitter cold of winter, being submerged in freezing water.

Even if not drowned, the man would freeze to death!

"How dare you cause trouble in the palace!" Cheng Qian frowned.

This down jacket was the warmest for withstanding the cold and would be sent to the West Mountain Camp along with the instant noodles.

Yet Cheng Qian didn't hesitate and, without disdaining the soaked frail eunuch, draped it over him.

"Are you all right?" Cheng Qian asked, squatting down and putting the hand warmer from his arms into the hands of the eunuch whose face had turned pale from the cold.

"What's your name and where are you stationed?" he squatted down.

This frail eunuch didn't know if he was startled by the warmth of the hand warmer or by Cheng Qian suddenly squatting down in front of him, but his whole body froze.

Afterward, his pale, slender fingers slowly grasped the warm brazier.

After a long silence, when Cheng Qian thought he had frozen stiff and was about to call someone to carry him back to the room, he finally heard the hoarse voice of the little eunuch.

"I... servant's name is Little Jiu. I serve tea before the Emperor."

"!"

Cheng Qian's usually mature and handsome features froze.

What?

Serving what?

Serving tea before the Emperor?

Cheng Qian looked down and only then did he recognize the pale, delicate face as resembling one of the eunuchs who served tea before his father.

Cheng Qian was shaken.

This was the "ultimate fighter" with a martial arts level of 99 that his sister had mentioned?!

Cheng Qian was astonished. Someone with a martial arts level of 99 could be pinned down in the pool?

Had his sister never been wrong before?

Or had he misheard her...?

But for some inexplicable reason, Cheng Qian suddenly recalled what his sister had said.

— The tea-serving eunuch's weaknesses: fear of cold and hunger.

Cheng Qian looked at the shivering figure and found himself asking inexplicably, "Are you hungry now?"

Jiu Xiao couldn't help but look up at this young prince, bathed in sunlight.

For the first time...

For the first time, someone cared whether he was hungry or not.

For the first time, someone cared whether he was cold or not.

Giving him their own clothes, giving him their own hand warmer.

And this was the imperial palace of Jing Nation, and he was a prince of Jing Nation.

One of the most esteemed people in Jing Nation!

"Why..." Jiu Xiao couldn't help but open his mouth, "Why... I'm just a servant."

Compared to him, Jiu Xiao was but a speck of dust.
