The weirdo smacked his lips a few times, then lightly bumped into the table. On the table was a dish with a few pieces of meat which suddenly jumped up and flew towards the weirdo.
The weirdo caught it with his mouth and chewed a few times, nodding in approval repeatedly: "Hmm, not bad, not bad, tasty."
Long Yi had seen him eat and drink like this many times before, and didn’t find it strange. Weird people and strange events are of course different from ordinary people. After traveling all around with the Prince, he’s seen a lot of strange people and odd events, so he’s no longer surprised.
Zixia was dumbfounded. She was just in the mood to enjoy the spectacle and see how the weirdo would make a fool of himself. If she had to feed him, she would mock him, but who knew, he wasn’t relying on anyone and was enjoying his meal freely and effortlessly.
Now, Zixia had no choice but to be impressed. This weirdo truly made her see him in a new light.
Long Yi glanced at her and gently asked, "Little Xia, do you want a drink?"
Zixia shook her head and said, "No, I still have to keep watch for the madam later."
Long Yi: "The Princess Consort has always said you shouldn’t keep watch at night, haven’t you? Why are you still doing it?"
Zixia smiled: "It’s nothing, I just get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, look around, and go back to sleep. It’s not truly keeping watch. The eldest miss is particularly easy to serve."
In noble households, the madams always have maids to keep watch, sleeping in the master’s side chamber at night, ready to serve at a moment’s notice.
Zixia has been with Xuexue for so long, and Xuexue has never bothered her in the middle of the night. The biggest event was last time when the bed fell over, waking her up.
Long Yi: "If you don’t want to drink, that’s fine. Sit down and eat some food!"
Zixia reached for the wine pot, saying, "I don’t like eating at midnight. How about I pour drinks for you?"
Long Yi: "Aren’t you tired? Don’t pour. I feel for you."
Zixia felt warm inside and teased: "It’s just pouring drinks, what’s there to feel sorry about?"
Long Yi: "I don’t know why, I just feel for you."
The weirdo was listening to them while eating: "Hey, hey, hey...! What’s going on in the War Prince’s Mansion? Why is there romance everywhere? Are you deliberately provoking this old bachelor, huh? Let me tell you, don’t think that the master didn’t have women liking him, he was playful and dashing when he was young, charming in appearance, plenty of women liked him."
Since he didn’t have hands, he was always somewhat inconvenient, and the weirdo’s mouth was full of oil, nearly dripping onto his chin.
"Pfft!" Zixia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The weirdo wasn’t pleased, his face dark as he asked: "Little maid, what are you laughing about? Do you think the master is lying?"
Zixia had just been scolded by the Prince and Princess Consort, afraid the weirdo would start up again, she didn’t dare tell the truth but just shook her head, saying, "No!"
The weirdo wouldn’t let it go: "Still saying no, surely there is! Otherwise, why laugh?"
Zixia shook her head without speaking. The weirdo was quick-tempered, yet Zixia’s hesitant expression made him anxious, loudly asking: "Little maid, exactly what opinion do you hold against the master? The master is in a good mood today, you can just lay it all out, the master won’t hold it against you."
"If I say it, will you be upset?"
"Depends on the matter; if it’s too much, the master being upset would be only natural."
"Then I won’t say it."
"Oh, you petty little thing. Fine, the master is a man, I’ll let you go this time, not upset, not upset, alright?"
"Really?"
"Of course it’s true, a gentleman’s word is his bond, hard to chase even with four horses."
"Then can I say it?"
"Say it, such a slowpoke!" The weirdo was nearly driven mad by Zixia. This little girl, knowing he was quick-tempered, was she deliberately torturing him?
