The young butler hurriedly responded, “Yes, I’ll go and fetch him right away.”
Eunuch Li Fei stopped the young butler “Don’t go, take me there.” He didn’t dare to let the master abbot come to see him; he had to go personally to show sincerity.
The butler hurriedly said, “This way, Eunuch.”
A group of people walked towards the guest courtyard.
The master abbot had changed a place for chanting scriptures. He was chanting in a pavilion, while Da Bai, the tiger, lay lazily at his feet, dozing off.
Upon seeing the master abbot, Eunuch Li Fei hurried forward, but when he saw the huge creature beside the abbot’s feet, he was so frightened that he hid behind a tree, his heart pounding fiercely.
The two eunuchs following him hadn’t seen the tiger and were startled by Eunuch Li Fei’s reaction.
“Eunuch Li, what happened?” The two eunuchs supported Eunuch Li Fei, one on each side.
Eunuch Li Fei clutched his chest, swallowing hard, “Didn’t you see the tiger?”
The two eunuchs’ hearts skipped a beat. “Eunuch Li, where is the tiger?”
The butler had also been frightened before, but he wasn’t so afraid anymore.
He hurriedly explained, “Eunuch Li, that’s Miss Chu’s pet. Don’t be afraid. It doesn’t bite.”
“What? That big white tiger is Chu Qingzhi’s pet?” Eunuch Li Fei couldn’t believe it. People might keep a small cat or dog as a pet, but Chu Qingzhi, that young lady, actually kept a tiger!!
The young butler said carefully, “Yes, the big white tiger just eats and sleeps, very well-behaved.”
Eunuch Li Fei slowly peeked out from behind the tree…
Hearing the commotion, the master abbot came over.
The big white tiger yawned and went back to sleep. A bunch of cowards. If this tiger wanted to eat you, you would have been gone long ago.
Seeing the master abbot, Eunuch Li Fei felt less afraid and glanced at Da Bai before quickly shifting his gaze to the master abbot, “Greetings, Master Abbot.”
The master abbot, seeing Eunuch Li Fei’s fear, walked with him outside, “Did His Majesty send you?”
Eunuch Li Fei replied ingratiatingly, “Master Abbot, you’re truly prescient. It is indeed so.”
The master abbot smiled, “Let’s go.”
Eunuch Li Fei respectfully said, “After you, Master Abbot.”
The young monk, hearing the noise, rushed out of the room, his eyes wide as he looked at the master abbot, “Master, where are you going?” He thought the master abbot was going out.
The master abbot replied in a gentle voice, “I am going to the palace.”
The young monk hurried over, clutching the master abbot’s robe, his eyes wide with eagerness, “Master, I want to go too.”
Eunuch Li Fei, seeing the cute little monk, couldn’t help but be fond of him.
The master abbot”s young disciple was too adorable, like a tender and white dumpling. “Master, it wouldn’t be a problem to take your disciple with us.”
Unable to refuse his disciple’s pleading eyes, the master abbot patted the young monk’s head, “Let’s go.”
The group headed towards the palace.
Imperial Palace.
Thinking that the emperor wanted to discuss state affairs with the master abbot, Eunuch Li Fei took the young monk to the East Palace, where the crown prince lived, to let the children play together.
There was only the young crown prince in the palace. Seeing the young monk, who was not much older than himself, he felt a strong sense of kinship.
Eunuch Li Fei asked respectfully, “Your Highness, could you take the young master to play for a while?”
“Sure.” The crown prince happily agreed. Then, he waved his little hand at Eunuch Li Fei. “Go ahead.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Li Fei turned and walked away. He stopped about ten meters away to see if the children could get along well before he left.
The young monk sized up the young prince, dressed in yellow royal attire with beautiful patterns embroidered on it, long eyelashes, black and round eyes, even fairer than himself, “Are you the crown prince?”
The young prince’s eyes rolled around, “I am.” He reached out to touch the young monk’s head, “Where is your hair?”
The young monk also touched his head, shaking it helplessly, “1 don’t have hair.”
The young prince’s eyes widened in disbelief, like black gems fixating on the young monk’s head, “How is that possible? Everyone has hair.”
The young monk insisted, “Anyway, I don’t.”
The two children engaged in a serious and profound discussion about hair and then went together to eat the pastries brought by the palace maids.
Imperial Hospital.
Chu Qingning looked at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, asking nervously, “Won’t there be any trouble for taking me into the Imperial Hospital?”
Yuan Hongjun said confidently, “No, we’ve already arranged everything.”
Bao Linjiang also said confidently, “Don’t worry, we wouldn’t bring you here if there were going to be problems.”
Chu Qingning saw that the two of them were so certain and believed their words. “Then let’s go in.”
The people in the Imperial Hospital didn’t stop them when they saw Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang bringing someone in, and let the trio enter directly.
Yuan Hongjun said, “We’ll give you a good tour shortly.”
Chu Qingning looked around curiously and nodded, “Hongjun, Linjiang, thank you.”
As someone studying medicine, visiting the Imperial Hospital was a fulfillment of her medical career.
The three began their tour starting from the main hall…
Just a short while into the tour, both the chief and the deputy chief of the hospital received the news and hurried over. The two, usually at odds with each other, entered the main hall and, seeing each other, snorted disdainfully before each went to educate their respective grandchildren.
Yuan Zheng the chief brought Yuan Hongjun to the side, reprimanding, “Hongjun, why did you bring outsiders to the Imperial Hospital?”
Yuan Hongjun said softly, “Grandfather, she is not an outsider. She is Master’s fourth sister, Chu Qingning, who also studies medicine. Moreover, she is talented. It would be a pity not to see the Imperial Hospital now that she’s in the capital.”
Yuan Zheng’s attitude changed completely. “Oh, your master’s sister. Then show her around. I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”
Yuan Hongjun smiled secretly. “Grandpa, go do your work.”
Meanwhile, the deputy chief was also reprimanding Bao Linjiang, “What’s the matter with you? Don’t you know the rules? Bringing outsiders in, what if something happens?”
Bao Linjiang moved closer to the deputy chief, “Grandfather, her name is Chu Qingning, my Master’s fourth sister.”
“Oh, the fourth sister.” The deputy chief decided to turn a blind eye, “Be careful with the things in the Imperial Hospital. Show her around.”
“Yes, Grandfather.”
Chu Qingning stood awkwardly to one side, secretly wondering if she had caused trouble for the two.
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang quickly returned.
Yuan Hongjun said, “Qingning, it’s alright. Let’s continue our tour.” He lowered his voice. “I’ll show you some books from the Imperial Hospital later.”
Chu Qingning glanced at the departing figures of the two chiefs. She said gratefully, “Sorry to trouble you.”
Bao Linjiang shook his head. “Why are you being so polite with us? Let’s go.”
“Ok..”
