Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 167 The Bullying Eunuch 5
Ji Chaoxi and several eunuchs were summoned to the Imperial Hospital to do odd jobs.
The cold wind kept blowing, and several large pots were set up in the backyard of the Imperial Hospital.
Ji Chaoxi was carefully brushing the muddy medicinal roots at the door.
The other eunuchs kept whispering to each other, keeping a distance from Ji Chaoxi and watching her.
Just then, the old imperial physician came out carrying a bowl of dark, murky medicine, his gaze lingering on a few young eunuchs.
The old imperial physician used the lid to skim off the foam from the medicine, and said meaningfully, "This principal medicine, even if it's fallen on hard times, it's still the key ingredient in the prescription."
He scanned the people in front of him, his tone somewhat cold: "You people who make medicine residue, if you think you can ride on the head of the master, you'll cause people to die."
The other eunuchs turned pale after listening and immediately lowered their heads, looking extremely guilty.
The old imperial physician looked at their expressions and nodded in satisfaction.
He glanced at Ji Chaoxi in the corner, who was still squatting on the ground, diligently brushing the roots of the medicinal herbs. The old imperial physician's face darkened.
He walked up to Ji Chaoxi and looked down at her.
Ji Chaoxi felt the darkness in his sight, looked up at him, and tentatively handed him the cleaned medicine in her hand.
"Sir, do you want this?"
The old imperial physician: ...
He said, holding his breath, "Little Xizi, did you even understand what I just said?"
She's the one who should understand the most here!
Ji Chaoxi smiled confidently: "Does Your Excellency mean that the medicine you have is very precious, a premium medicine?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at him expectantly.
The old imperial physician choked up and fell silent.
Why is he explaining all this complicated stuff to the child? They won't understand, and it only makes him angry.
The gates of Ruhui Palace opened early, and the snow at the entrance was cleared away. Every morning, Xiao Yanchen would wait at the entrance.
He knew that Xiao Xizi didn't come every day, but he still hoped to see her.
Finally, he saw a familiar figure.
"Xiaoxizi!"
Xiao Yanchen couldn't help but call out and ran towards Ji Chaoxi.
Ji Chaoxi's nose was a little red from the cold, and she complained softly, "I even tripped and fell when I came here. I'll have to eat more later."
Xiao Yanchen immediately became anxious: "Xiao Xizi, where did you fall?"
Ji Chaoxi stretched out her hand, and there was a red mark on the back of her hand that looked like it would disappear in a few minutes.
Xiao Yanchen looked at the wound on her hand with red eyes: "I'm sorry, Xiao Xizi, I won't eat later."
Ji Chaoxi coughed lightly: "It's okay, I'll eat more later and the wound on my hand will heal."
But Xiao Yanchen still felt guilty. He carefully supported Ji Chaoxi, afraid that she would fall again.
The two short radishes held hands and entered the yard together.
Xiao Yanchen enjoyed eating with Ji Chaoxi. He liked listening to her badmouth the eunuchs. She said she was the best among the eunuchs because she was the most capable. He also liked listening to her talk about who gave her what food.
Every time Ji Chaoxi spoke, Xiao Yanchen would watch her with bright eyes while eating.
He really wanted to be a little eunuch, so he could spend every day with Xiao Xizi and they could talk a lot together.
Ji Chaoxi felt her vanity fully satisfied as Xiao Yanchen watched her, and she talked more and more until her mouth was dry.
After dinner, the two went to the backyard to catch birds.
Xiao Yanchen didn't grab her; he just stayed close to Ji Chaoxi.
"Seventh Prince, I'm really good at catching birds."
Ji Chaoxi propped up the bamboo sieve with a thin bamboo stick and sprinkled a handful of broken wheat grains into it. She had picked up the broken wheat grains from the ground at the Imperial Hospital.
Xiao Yanchen's face was red from the cold. He squatted down next to Ji Chaoxi and looked at her intently. She was clutching the hemp rope tightly in her hand, her body was bent low, and her eyes were full of the bamboo sieve.
"Xiao Xizi, you're really amazing, you can do everything." Xiao Yanchen praised softly.
Moreover, Xiao Xizi suddenly appeared beside him like a lucky star.
"You'll be just as amazing as me someday," Ji Chaoxi said softly, turning her head to comfort him.
The snow kept falling, and there were very few people around the palace at this time of day. Most people stayed indoors, as children are much less sensitive to temperature changes than adults.
The two of them were shivering from the cold, but they still squatted behind the tree and kept watch.
Xiao Yanchen felt a breeze coming from nearby. He moved closer to Ji Chaoxi, trying to shield her from the wind. Ji Chaoxi was oblivious, staring intently ahead.
Finally, a sparrow tentatively fell into the bamboo sieve.
Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled the rope, covering the sparrow with the bamboo sieve. The poor sparrow fluttered around inside the sieve.
"Gotcha!"
Ji Chaoxi practically lunged forward, not even caring that her knees had hit the stone. She lifted the edge of the bamboo sieve and carefully caught the little sparrow in her palm.
Xiao Yanchen quickly ran over and squatted down with Ji Chaoxi. Looking at Ji Chaoxi's crescent-shaped eyes, he couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Xizi, you're amazing!"
The two children kept gently stroking the sparrow's head, making the sparrow feel utterly hopeless. It wasn't until the sky began to darken that the poor sparrow was finally released.
Xiao Yanchen reluctantly saw Ji Chaoxi off at the entrance of Ruhui Palace: "Little Xizi, will you come tomorrow too? I have no one to play with except you."
Ji Chaoxi was all too familiar with this kind of scene. Since she was a child, many people had wanted to play with her, and many people had said the same thing to her.
Her sense of responsibility kicked in, and she said earnestly, "I'll come find you to play."
Xiao Yanchen nodded, his eyes brimming with tears.
But he still couldn't bear to part with her.
Xiao Xizi isn't here tonight, and I don't know when I'll be able to see her again tomorrow.
As Ji Chaoxi's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Xiao Yanchen's eyes also dimmed.
If only Xiao Xizi could stay by his side forever.
He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and looked very thin, as if he had returned to that forgotten corner.
After Xiao Xizi left, Ru Hui Palace fell silent again.
Just then, something hit his arm. Xiao Yanchen stared blankly at the snow residue on his clothes. The next second, a small snowball hit his head, and the snowflakes scattered.
His eyes lit up, and he looked over. Ji Chaoxi was standing behind a tree, holding a snowball and looking at him smugly.
When she realized he had noticed her, she turned and ran, running very fast, afraid he would retaliate.
Xiao Yanchen stood on the threshold, not wiping the snow from his face, and cupped his hands to his mouth, calling out to the figure, "Xiao Xizi! Slow down! The snow is slippery!"
He instinctively took two steps forward, then stopped, staring longingly at the retreating figure.
The snowflakes on his face felt cool, but Xiao Yanchen felt as if the snow was like icing sugar, melting directly into his heart.
