Chapter 376: You Have to Take Responsibility
Chi Shuyan subconsciously glanced at the little guy on the side, who claimed to be a prince. Seeing her gaze, the little guy deliberately snorted at her. Then he looked at his reading companion fawning over someone else, and was very depressed.
Chi Shuyan now had some understanding of how this little guy could hold a grudge. She didn’t look at him anymore, but glanced at the little attendant next to her and smiled. “Okay!”
The young attendant immediately climbed onto the stool next to her and seriously ma.s.saged Chi Shuyan’s back. Although the little attendant was a ghost, Chi Shuyan looked at the little guy, who didn’t even reach her thigh, and felt that she had hired a child worker. After he hammered her back for a while, she stopped him and told him to be good and sit.
The young attendant thought he had done something wrong, but seeing the Celestial Master’s friendly att.i.tude, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and crooked a finger at the other brat. “Come here and ma.s.sage my back!”
The little guy known as the Ninth Prince was in disbelief, and blurted out, “How dare you!”
Chi Shuyan stifled a laugh in her heart and deliberately put on a dark face as she narrowed her eyes. “Aren’t you coming?”
The attendant next to her was afraid that his Ninth Prince would provoke this Celestial Master, so he quickly got up to help. Chi Shuyan pressed down on his shoulder and told him to sit obediently.
Chi Shuyan thought that the Ninth Prince would refuse outright. Soon enough, however, the little guy came over unwillingly with pursed lips and a deep scowl. “You’re the one who asked this royal one to give you a ma.s.sage. If this royal one hurts you, you can’t blame me!”
“Fine, fine!” Chi Shuyan curled her lip.
The little guy’s movements were soft at first, but he was so angry that he hammered her back with all his strength. The Celestial Master’s eyebrows didn’t even twitch. The little guy was panting and his face was red with anger.
Chi Shuyan enjoyed it when the little guy was close. Although the purple aura on him wasn’t as thick as her man’s, it made her feel very comfortable.
At some point, Chi Shuyan bent over halfway to directly hug the little guy. When she smelled food, she opened her eyes and saw that she was holding the little guy’s fair and plump little body in her arms as he s.h.i.+fted cautiously. His delicate little face was flushed red with embarra.s.sment and unwillingness as he stared at her, as if she was taking advantage of him.
Chi Shuyan secretly thought, this little guy was so young but already understood the difference between men and women?
She heard the little guy say seriously, “My imperial mother said that men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Now that you’ve touched me, you have to take responsibility!”
Chi Shuyan had just taken a sip from the teacup which the young attendant had given to her, and she almost spat it out when she heard this. She immediately let go of him.
Fortunately, Chef Li came over at that moment with plate after plate of food. Chi Shuyan was initially going to wake a.s.sistant Zhu up, but she was afraid that he would faint from fright again when he saw these dishes.
Chef Li took out all his trump cards this time, and served ginger fish fillet, five-spice pigeon, Luohan prawns, osmanthus fish sticks, and several kinds of dessert. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were too few ingredients, Chef Li could still make an entire Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.
Chi Shuyan felt really gluttonous at that moment. She hadn’t started eating, but the smell was already too good. Chi Shuyan still had some self-control, and picked up a piece with her chopsticks. When she tasted it, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but sigh; as expected of an imperial chef. Nothing could compare. The taste was simply superb.
Chi Shuyan ate faster now. The rice was bamboo rice, which had the fragrance of bamboo. The more Chi Shuyan ate, the more fragrant it became.
By the time she came back to her senses, she realized that the prawns she was eating had all been peeled by this little fellow called the Ninth Prince.
The little guy’s manners were elegant and indeed worthy of a prince. It was just that Chi Shuyan had scared him over and over again, and she felt extremely guilty. However, the two brats couldn’t eat human food, so she simply had Imperial Chef Li make them something they could eat.
The Ninth Prince, who had been focused on Chi Shuyan, lowered his head and continued wrestling with the prawns after insisting, “I’m not hungry!” He wanted to be a good prince who doted on his princess.
