Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder's Self-Redemption (2)[MTL]

Chapter 17 A Few Things About the Little Emperor

"Brother, are you talking about those eunuchs who have no offspring?" Douding suddenly realized.

　　"The person who asked people to monitor me should be Ma Chang, the eunuch chief of the palace. Although Ma Chang looks smiling and friendly, he is actually a smiling tiger. Just imagine, with Li Hao's brutal temper, how could the confidants following him be easy-going? He has watched Li Hao grow up, and he knows Li Hao's temper better than anyone else. I was a male favorite who was sent to Li Hao's bedroom, but not only did I leave the bedroom unscathed, but Sun Quan also assassinated Li Hao, and then Wang Gui was killed by me. Li Hao not only did not blame me, but also granted me to live in Bamboo Garden. How could these anomalies not arouse his vigilance. He went to Bamboo Garden that day under the pretext of delivering rewards, probably to test me. When the test failed, he sent people to monitor my whereabouts." Qiming analyzed calmly.

　　Douding frowned and said, "The master didn't say anything, why should a servant worry about it?"

　　"It can only be said that Ma Chang is loyal, cautious, and smart enough, and is a good servant!" Qiming commented objectively.

Douding said nonchalantly: "It's just an old eunuch who is neither male nor female. Don't take it too seriously, brother."

　　Qiming shook his head and said, "Douding, have you ever heard the saying 'It's easy to deal with the King of Hell, but hard to deal with the little ghosts'? The more loyal, cautious, and smart the little ghosts are, the harder they are to deal with!"

　　"Then next time you see him, just hypnotize him and make him listen to you."

　　Just then, there was a loud noise outside, followed by a series of footsteps. After a while, the door of the private room where Qiming was staying was knocked.

　　Qiming raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Come in."

　　The waiter outside the door walked in respectfully, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper. He said with a big smile on his face, "Sir, I'm really sorry. The thing is, the private room you are in is a private room used by the eldest prince's mansion all year round. This waiter is new and doesn't know the rules. It just so happens that the eldest prince is having dinner today, and I would like to trouble you to move to the hall. To express my apology, I will not charge you a penny for your meal today. What do you think?"

　　Qiming stood up and said in a cold tone, "Okay. But don't bother. I've almost finished eating. Can you please pack up the remaining food for me? I want to take it away."

　　Qiming agreed so readily that the shopkeeper Ji Shan was a little surprised. If he didn't want to hide his identity, he really wouldn't take the so-called eldest prince seriously. Although Ma Chang doubted Qiming's identity, he was still a member of the palace, and the prince had awarded him the bamboo garden. How could the prince's people be compared to that useless eldest prince? The eldest prince's aggressiveness and Qiming's understanding made Ji Shan feel good about him.

　　Ji Shan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I will have someone pack it for you right away."

　　Qiming nodded slightly and turned to leave the room. Ji Shan, who was behind him, winked at the waiter and followed him out. The waiter quickly packed up the untouched food and followed him out.

　　Qiming walked out of the private room and into the hall. The noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on Qiming. Qiming stood at the counter as if nothing had happened, quietly waiting for the food he wanted to pack.

　　Following closely behind, Ji Shan looked around at everyone in the hall. Everyone, male or female, had an infatuated expression on their faces, which made him frown. He felt that many people were watching the prince. He looked at Qi Ming and said with a smile, "Sir, please forgive me for saying so much. Your appearance is too outstanding. It may cause unnecessary trouble. I suggest that you wear a mask or a veil when you go out."
