In the past, when the Emperor saw the carpenter's blueprints, he was exceptionally confident. Now that he had confidence in the memorials that he once thought were as difficult as ascending to the heavens, he naturally became different.
The difference in the Emperor was particularly obvious from his facial expression. Especially his pair of eyes, they were extremely bright.
After the Emperor was happy, he remembered that it was time for dinner. Thinking about how Qi Nan taught him how to handle government affairs on an empty stomach, the Emperor hurriedly ordered Eunuch Fu to serve the meal.
The Emperor and Qi Nan had a very good relationship. When the two of them ate, they didn't look like master and servant, but more like friends.
Qi Nan ate, but Jiujiu didn't eat. This was because it wasn't convenient for Chun Hua to prepare dinner for Jiujiu. Since the Emperor's taste was light and didn't have a lot of condiments, Qi Nan ordered someone to prepare a set of tableware. He picked out a piece of steamed fish and placed it in front of Jiujiu, indicating for Jiujiu to eat.
In the past, whenever Jiujiu saw Qi Nan eating, she would always drool. However, it was a pity that she was still young. Furthermore, Qi Nan did not allow her to eat anything else. She could only silently eat the food that Chun Hua had prepared for her and swallow her saliva. Now that she could eat fish, Jiujiu was simply overjoyed. She bit off a piece of fish in one bite and her small mouth moved. She was so excited that even the small mustache on the side of her mouth was swaying.
Qi Nan was originally looking at Jiujiu while eating. At this moment, when he saw Jiujiu's mustache trembling because of eating, his heart simply melted.
Qi Nan raised his hand and rubbed Jiujiu's small head. Then, when he received a displeased growl from Jiujiu, he laughed and withdrew his hand. Then, he used his index finger to poke Jiujiu's small head.
Jiujiu, who was happily eating fish, was poked by Qi Nan until her face was almost buried in the fish.
By the time Qi Nan let go, Jiujiu's face, which had been washed clean by the spring flowers, was already covered in fish scraps and gravy.
Jiujiu glared at Qi Nan. Looking at the fish in her bowl, she didn't have the mood to continue eating.
After being glared at by Jiujiu, Qi Nan withdrew his hand, but the corners of his mouth held a trace of a smile, which made his usually gloomy face become much gentler.
In the beginning, the Emperor really didn't pay attention to Jiujiu's existence. At this moment, after seeing Qi Nan teasing Jiujiu, he finally noticed Jiujiu. Especially after seeing Jiujiu's human-like appearance, he was even more surprised and said, "This cat is not bad."
Hearing the Emperor praise Jiujiu, Qi Nan's face showed a proud expression. Raising his hand, he rubbed Jiujiu's head and said with a smile: "The Emperor is too kind."
Although Qi Nan said that the Emperor was overpraising him, the proud smile at the corner of his mouth was particularly conspicuous.
However, seeing the Emperor praise Jiujiu, Qi Nan's eyes turned. He directly stood up and cupped his hands: "Emperor, this subject wants to ask for a favor."
"Beloved subject, there's no harm in saying it."
"This subject wants the Emperor to write a sign for this subject's cat." In fact, with Qi Nan's current status, even if he didn't want this sign, Jiujiu could still walk sideways in the palace. However, he was afraid of meeting those who didn't know what was good for them.
Jiujiu was still young and could stay by his side. But if it grew up and wanted to go outside to play, what would he do if it was seen by those who didn't have eyes?
Qi Nan climbed up from the bottom, so he naturally knew some of the dirty secrets. Before meeting the Emperor, Qi Nan had seen many little eunuchs and palace maids who liked to torture and kill cats and dogs.
Although Qi Nan didn't do these things, he had coldly watched from the sidelines.
However, now he wanted to spoil Jiujiu, so he naturally had to do everything for Jiujiu.
When Qi Nan teased Jiujiu just now, the Emperor felt very surprised. At this moment, when Qi Nan said that he wanted him to write a sign for Jiujiu, the Emperor was very surprised.
He always thought that Qi Nan was cold-blooded except for him. He didn't expect that Qi Nan's Xinchang would become soft.
The Emperor really regarded Qi Nan as a good friend, so he naturally hoped that Qi Nan would be well more than anyone else.
The Emperor directly went back to the table and wrote the words "as if I am here in person". After stamping it with his private seal, he gave it to Hua An and asked him to find someone to make it overnight. If there was no accident, it could be done in two days.
Looking at the words in Hua An's hand, Jiujiu felt very comfortable.
Just now, she thought that between Qi Nan and the Emperor, Qi Nan must be the one who contributed. But now, when she saw the Emperor write the words "as if I am here in person" without hesitation when Qi Nan asked for a sign, Jiujiu knew that the relationship between the Emperor and Qi Nan was mutual.
Qi Nan was good to the Emperor, but the Emperor also gave him all his trust. These words could explain everything, not to mention that there was the Emperor's private seal on it.
Even without these words, this private seal was enough for Jiujiu to walk sideways in the palace.
After accompanying the Emperor for dinner, Qi Nan left with Jiujiu.
After Qi Nan left, Eunuch Fu, who was beside the Emperor, immediately said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, how can you give this private seal so casually? If Du Zhu has other intentions, then …"
Eunuch Fu would remind him to be careful of Qi Nan every two days. The Emperor's ears would grow calluses. So, today, he naturally replied as usual: "If Qi Nan has other intentions, he would have been the master here long ago."
As soon as the Emperor's words came out, Eunuch Fu's words were instantly blocked.
Yes, if Qi Nan really had other intentions, with his current power, he could definitely depose the Emperor and become the Emperor. Although there might be some twists and turns, he could definitely sit firmly in this position.
Eunuch Fu naturally knew this. But, thinking of Qi Nan's monstrous power and his identity as a eunuch, Eunuch Fu was particularly anxious.
Qi Nan took Jiujiu out of the Emperor's place, but he was stopped halfway.
The person who stopped Qi Nan was the Empress's personal maidservant, Dong Mei.
Perhaps because there was the word "Mei" in her name, Dong Mei particularly liked plum blossoms. Whether it was her clothes or jewelry, they were all plum blossoms. When she walked to Qi Nan, there was a burst of plum blossoms on her body.
Jiujiu didn't know if it was because she had turned into a cat, but she always felt that the plum blossoms on Dong Mei's body had a rotten smell. It didn't smell like fresh flowers. Instead, it made her want to vomit.
Because of the uncomfortable smell of plum blossoms, Jiujiu unconsciously held her breath. After a while, her head became a little dizzy. Originally, Jiujiu was standing on Qi Nan's shoulder, but at this moment, she couldn't stand still. In order not to let herself fall, Jiujiu quickly climbed down Qi Nan's arm.
Sensing Jiujiu's movements, Qi Nan reached out and held Jiujiu in his arms.
Feeling that Jiujiu was not as energetic as before, Qi Nan looked at Dong Mei opposite him and coldly scolded: "Stand further away."
Dong Mei didn't expect to be scolded by Qi Nan before she could speak. Her face turned pale in an instant. After her lips trembled, she quickly lowered her eyelids and said: "Replying to Du Zhu, this servant has been ordered by the Empress to invite Du Zhu for a chat."
