On this day, Qi Nan was free, so he took Jiujiu to the Imperial Garden for a stroll.
Although it was said that Qi Nan was taking Jiujiu to the Imperial Garden, in fact, Jiujiu was standing on Qi Nan's shoulder. Not to mention taking a stroll, Qi Nan didn't even take Jiujiu to the Imperial Garden.
Jiujiu stood on Qi Nan's shoulder and looked around with Qi Nan's eyes from time to time. Qi Nan took Jiujiu out to relax. Now, when he saw that Jiujiu was so intelligent, his gloomy mood was instantly lifted. He raised his hand and took Jiujiu off his shoulder. As they walked forward, he whispered to Jiujiu about the beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden.
Although it was already autumn, the Imperial Garden was still flourishing. The flowers and plants seemed to have forgotten the season as they bloomed. Although Jiujiu was used to beautiful scenery, she was still a little mesmerized when she saw such a beautiful scenery again.
As they walked deeper and deeper, Qi Nan became more and more excited.
However, Jiujiu stood on Qi Nan's palm, looking like a paralyzed cat. She was enjoying herself immensely.
Although Qi Nan was a eunuch, he had practiced martial arts. With the support of his profound internal strength, it was not a problem for Qi Nan to stroll for a day and a night.
However, they had a good time, but Hua An and the others who followed them had a hard time.
Hua An and the others had been wounded by Qi Nan's saber, so their physical strength was not as good as that of ordinary people. After walking for two hours, even Hua An, who followed Qi Nan, couldn't stand it anymore. Sweat dripped down his forehead like a waterfall.
Seeing this, Jiujiu scratched Qi Nan's palm with its small paw. Then, it raised its head and meowed at Qi Nan's eyes. Then, it raised its paw and pointed behind them.
Qi Nan followed Jiujiu's paw and turned his head. When he saw the sweat on Hua An and the others, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He scratched Jiujiu's chin and said softly, "You are a kind person."
Qi Nan walked toward a pavilion not far away. Seeing this, Hua An admired Jiujiu even more. He secretly swore to himself that he would treat Jiujiu well.
After all, a cat could appease Qi Nan's anger and a cat could change Qi Nan's mind. Both of them were like ancestors.
As they got closer to the pavilion, Jiujiu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
However, when they turned a corner, Jiujiu saw Chun Hua, who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a woman beside her.
There was another woman who appeared together with Chun Hua. However, from the way the woman was dressed, she seemed to be a concubine.
Because she was sitting with her back facing Qi Nan, the concubine did not see Qi Nan and Jiujiu's arrival. She continued to say, "Slap your face twenty times. Let's see if you still know the rules in the future."
Chun Hua was stupid and ugly. She only wanted to save money to leave the palace to buy farmland and a house to live. She did not have any thoughts of climbing up the social ladder or seducing the Emperor for a better future. Therefore, those eunuchs were also willing to use Chun Hua.
As a matter of fact, Chun Hua's eunuch asked Chun Hua to send something to the Empress.
Chun Hua originally had something to do. Therefore, she wanted to take a shortcut from the Imperial Garden to the Empress's Earthly Peace Palace. However, she did not expect that when she was walking, she would be slapped to the ground by this concubine. Then, she was told to open her mouth. Until now, Chun Hua was still a little confused.
Chun Hua raised her head and revealed an ordinary face. She looked at the concubine sitting in front of her and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. This servant knows her wrongs. I hope that Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive this servant this time."
After Chun Hua finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at the basket in her hands. She thought about how the eunuch would punish her if she was late. Instantly, she became a little anxious and hurriedly said, "This servant is going to send pastries to the Empress. If I am late …"
"What a glib tongue. Now, you are even using the Empress to threaten me. If I don't punish you properly today, I'm afraid that I won't be able to establish my authority in the palace in the future." After the concubine finished speaking, she raised her finger that was dyed red with nail polish and pointed at Chun Hua, saying, "Someone, this servant has committed a crime. Send her to …"
"Meow …"
Before the concubine could finish speaking, Jiujiu directly jumped down from Qi Nan's hands and then quickly ran in front of Chun Hua. She raised her head and looked at the concubine, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. She bared her teeth and glared at the concubine.
If it was any other time, when he saw the concubine getting angry, Qi Nan wouldn't even bat an eyelid. However, when he saw that Jiujiu in his hands was entranced by Jiujiu, Qi Nan stopped his footsteps. What he didn't expect was that Jiujiu would actually jump down from his hands.
Just now, when Jiujiu jumped down and ran in front of the concubine and bared her teeth, Qi Nan's first thought was that he didn't know if Jiujiu was injured from the fall.
His first thought wasn't what kind of trouble Jiujiu's jump would cause him. Instead, he was worried about Jiujiu. It could be seen how much Qi Nan cared about Jiujiu.
Just as the concubine was about to explode, Jiujiu suddenly jumped down and bared her teeth as she continuously roared. The concubine's face instantly lost some of its face. The anger that was originally suppressed became more and more vigorous.
She couldn't afford to offend the Empress. Now that she was dealing with a little palace servant, there was a bastard that went against her. This made the concubine's anger even more vigorous.
The anger burned away the concubine's little bit of intelligence. She fiercely glared at Jiujiu and gritted her teeth, saying, "Someone, catch this bastard for me. Beat her to death and feed her to the dogs."
Hearing the concubine say such words, Jiujiu's eyes instantly flashed with a dark light.
Just as Jiujiu was thinking about whether to jump up and scratch this concubine's face or bite her, she heard Qi Nan's deep and raspy voice: "Greetings to concubine He niangniang."
Qi Nan said he was paying his respects to concubine He but his back was straight. His face was cold and without any respect. On the other hand, concubine He, even though she was a concubine, after hearing Qi Nan's greeting, she immediately stood. Her face that had been filled with resentment became a fawning expression: "Greetings to Du Zhu."
There was a faint smile on Qi Nan's face. His lowered eyes were stern, but when he raised his head, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He ignored concubine He and only looked at Jiujiu who was standing in front of the spring flowers, saying: "Why aren't you coming over?"
Even though there was a smile on Qi Nan's face, Jiujiu knew that Qi Nan was slightly angry.
A wise man didn't fight when the odds were against him. Towards her own poop-shoveling officer's orders, Jiujiu instantly abandoned the spring flowers. Following the hem of Qi Nan's clothes, she quickly climbed onto Qi Nan's shoulder.
Qi Nan's action of not paying attention to concubine He caused concubine He's face to be embarrassed. However, due to Qi Nan's power, concubine He could only force a smile.
However, when she heard Qi Nan call for her to come back, concubine He was so shocked that her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Because, she didn't know who Qi Nan's call was for.
If it was the palace maid that she had punished to kneel, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
