Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 816: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 5

Eunuch Xia's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down heavily with a "thump", his voice trembling violently: "Your Highness, I know my crime, please spare my life! Your Highness's body is worth a million dollars, and we failed to take good care of it. We have no intention of bullying you!"

Qi Zhi picked up the teacup, blew away the foam gently, and took a sip slowly, but his eyes were always on Eunuch Xia. It seemed that his eyes could see through every thought in his mind.

"Spare my life? Humph, if the palace rules can be trampled on at will, then what is the point of this prince and Your Majesty?"

When the other servants saw Eunuch Xia like this, they were so scared that they trembled all over and kowtowed continuously. For a while, cries for mercy were heard one after another.

Shen Xi was listening to the noise outside the house, feeling secretly happy. He quietly stood up and looked out through the crack of the window. Seeing Qi Zhi's majestic appearance, he couldn't help thinking: "It seems that he cares about me very much."

Qi Zhi looked at the group of servants in front of him with extreme disgust. He said coldly: "Eunuch Xia, considering that you have served the late emperor, I will not make things difficult for you. But this crime of treason will never be forgiven lightly.

You will go to the Ministry of Punishment and receive thirty strokes of the cane, so that you can learn a lesson. As for the rest of you." He glanced at the other servants, "Twenty strokes of the cane for each of you, and your salary will be deducted for half a year. Remember this, and if you are negligent towards Your Highness in the future, I will never forgive you!"

After hearing this, Eunuch Xia collapsed to the ground with a pale face. The other servants were also trembling with fear, and thanked him repeatedly, feeling lucky to have escaped.

Qi Zhi waved his hand, signaling Yu Yu to take them away. After everyone left, he stood up and was about to walk into the house, but saw Shen Xi already standing at the door.

"Your Highness, it's so cold, why don't you put on some clothes when you come out?"

"I forgot. I heard some noise outside and wanted to come and see."

Qi Zhi didn’t know how much he had seen, nor did he know if he would be scared when he saw this scene.

He looked at the thinly dressed Shen Xi, his eyes full of worry, and quickly stepped forward, took off his cloak, and put it on Shen Xi: "Your Highness, be careful not to catch a cold, go into the house and put on your clothes quickly."

Shen Xi let Qi Zhi wrap the cloak around himself. A warm feeling rose in his heart, but a well-behaved smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, uncle. I'll go right away." After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly into the house.

Not long after, Shen Xi dressed neatly and came to Qi Zhi again. Qi Zhi looked at the refreshed Shen Xi, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and nodded slightly, saying: "Let's go, Your Highness must be hungry, I will accompany you to have breakfast."

The two walked towards the dining room side by side.

When they arrived at the dining hall, the table was filled with exquisite dishes, steaming hot. Qi Zhi personally served Shen Xi a bowl of porridge and handed it to him: "Your Highness, try this, it will nourish your stomach."

Shen Xi took it with both hands, thanked him softly, and then slowly began to eat.

Qi Zhi took two bites casually and put down his chopsticks, not planning to eat any more.

Then he kept staring at Shen Xi while he was eating. When he saw Shen Xi was about to put down his bowl and chopsticks, he warned him to eat more.

"By the way, Your Highness, I didn't tell you before that your succession ceremony will be held in five days."

"What succession ceremony?"

"The late emperor has been gone for a long time, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. So it is natural to have a grand ceremony of enthronement."

Qi Zhi answered him while watching him eat. He thought the topic was over, but Shen Xi continued.

"But my uncle is so capable and he manages the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. Why didn't you ascend the throne instead of traveling thousands of miles to find me?"

There was a subtle change in Qi Zhi's expression.

"Your Highness has only known me for a few days and just returned to the palace yesterday. How can you say that I handle the affairs of the court in an orderly manner?"

"Yesterday, the uncle settled me down and left immediately. I guess he was going to deal with the affairs of the court.

How could someone who is so eager to deal with those things not handle them in an orderly manner?

And the servants in my room are all afraid of you. And only of you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Xi's face showed that look, cold and naive.

However, because of his words, Qi Zhi looked at Shen Xi again.

"It turns out that he has some brains. Let's try another method to raise him."

"Congratulations to the host. The favorability of the main character has increased by 5%. It is currently 20%."

Wangcai looked at the system panel in confusion. The favorability level increased yesterday. Shen Xi explained half of it to him, and he could probably figure out the reason.

But there is really no reason for the price to rise now.

He didn't let this doubt bother him and asked it directly.

'He likes people who are obedient and who rely on him. But if I add someone who is smart and maybe a little ambitious to these two conditions, but I don't hide anything from him and I'm honest with him about everything about myself, it will be even better. He will think that I'm the same type of person as him, and he will naturally trust me, and his favorability will naturally increase.'

After breakfast, Qi Zhi asked the teacher he had chosen earlier to come here.

"Greetings to the prince, and greetings to His Highness."

There were two maids, one of whom played a teaching role, while the other mainly played a supervisory role.

"Ah."

Qi Zhi drank his tea without even looking up at them.

Shen Xi looked at the two maids curiously. They were dressed in simple but neat clothes, with serious faces and unquestionable majesty in their eyes.

"These two maids, one is Nanny Chen, who has been teaching etiquette in the palace for decades and is very experienced; the other is Nanny Zhou, who is rigorous and meticulous in her work and is the most responsible in supervising the lessons." Qi Zhi put down his teacup and finally looked up at Shen Xi, "Your Highness, from now on, your etiquette learning will be handed over to them, and you must not slack off."

Shen Xi nodded obediently, looked at the two maids, and said respectfully: "I hope you can give me more advice. I will study hard."

Nanny Chen bowed slightly, with a kind smile on her face: "Your Highness is too polite. I will do my best."

Nanny Zhou had a stern expression and said calmly, "Since Your Highness has made up his mind, don't give up halfway."

"Your Highness, I wonder what your highness' daily school schedule is like?" Nanny Chen asked respectfully.

Qi Zhi thought for a moment and said slowly, "Starting from Chenshi every day, we will study etiquette and norms until Sishi; after lunch at noon, we will continue to study palace rules from Weishi until Shenshi." He looked at Shen Xi with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Your Highness, do you have any objections?"

Shen Xi quickly shook his head: "Uncle Emperor has arranged it so well, I have no objection."

Qi Zhi nodded slightly, and then said to the two maids: "If Your Highness is slack in any way, feel free to report it to me, and there is no need to show mercy."

The two maids responded in unison. When Qi Zhi walked away, he turned to the two maids and said, "Mammy, let's get started."
