Chapter 3.2
A little pat has awoken Qianfan from his sleep. When the sun started showing up Yu Yan hurriedly went to his master to wake him.
Qianfan wailed. "Penpen, please let me sleep." he shooed the hands who were patting thinking it was his dog again.
"Master, who's Penpen? Please wake up." Yu Yan gently shook his master's shoulder.
Qianfan immediately opened his eyes when he realized that it was not his dog. He groaned as he tried to get up. He almost forgot that he died and was in the body of a character he read in the novel.
"Li Yen is already waiting outside, master." Yu Yan reported.
"Let her in." he stated. He kissed his son's forehead before getting out of bed. Li Yen entered the room and bowed. "Greetings to you, master Wan Shen."
"Forgive me for interrupting your day. I want you to look after my son while we're away. We're not going to be long." he said while arranging his son's sleeping position.
"Don't worry, master, I'll assure you that nothing will happen to the young master." Li Yen reassured. Qianfan nodded as a response.
"Master, the bathe is ready." Yu Yan butted in. Qianfan walked towards the bathroom and Yu Yan followed making Qianfan stop. "No need to follow me. I can take care of myself." he soothed. Qianfan is embarrassed to let Yu Yan serve him. He's not used to it since in the modern world, no one's serving them to bathe them. Unless you're from a rich family.
Yu Yan bowed and went to Li Yen to tell her the things she needs to do while they're away. When Qianfan entered the bathroom, an unfamiliar but comforting scent welcomed him. He noticed the big bathtub made from wood. It was filled with water and unfamiliar petals of flowers. He soaked his feet while removing his robe and gently laid down himself in a comfortable position. He gathered the petals and smelled them. It has a nice scent and aroma. Qianfan washed himself up happily.
After he finished, Yu Yan prepared the clothes for him. It was a plain white hanfu but the placket, the edge line, and the sash are in the colour navy blue with nice embroidery on it. It was simple but it brings out Qianfan's beauty even more. Yu Yan helped him dress, dry, and style his hair. While they're busy, his son woke up. Before he cried, Li Yen handed him to Qianfan. Little bean's face beamed with happiness when his mother carried him and saw his face. He made a cute sound to show how delighted he is.
"You're too energetic, my love, aren't you?" Qianfan nosed to nosed his son which made the little one giggle. His son's giggles are so cute. He wants to bite his chubby cheeks. It looks like a steamed bun.
Qianfan wondered how this adorable, cute, handsome baby and a precious like a gem creature doesn't have a name? That freaking emperor didn't know he has a charming son! It's his loss!
"Since you don't have a name, I'll name you Minsheng!" Qianfan exclaimed. "I want you to be the voice of the people when you grow up. Protect and help those who are oppressed and wrongfully accused. Fight for what is right." his voice turned soft and low as he remembers his situation.
"Master...." Yu Yan murmured. They aren't allowed to name the first child unless the emperor permits them. Because of what's happening right now and them escaping later, it doesn't matter anymore. Li Yen who's watching didn't interfere, she understands why. It's because the emperor hasn't visited them and still has not given the young master a name for almost 2 weeks now, and she knows that the emperor resents Wan Shen.
"But since you have chubby cheeks and you're my treasure, I'll call you Baozi! My baby Baozi!" Qianfan tickles his son with kisses and Baozi babbles in laughter as if he understood his mother. Latterly, Baozi sucked his hand indicating he's hungry. Qianfan ordered the two to leave them some time alone as he's going to breastfeed his son.
After he was done feeding Baozi, he put him to sleep, leaving him with Li Yen, and continued his mission with Yu Yan.
They went first to the kitchen to get half-burned wood to use as a pencil. It's hard in this era to write and draw if you're in a hurry if you use ink and a paintbrush.
As they were walking Qianfan questioned Yu Yan. "Aside from Li Yen, who else do you think is close to us?" he asked.
"None, master." Yu Yan replied immediately.
Ouch! Seems that I'll become a loner just like in my previous life.
The book stated that Wan Shen is friendly and always gave the servants and maids some treats, so how come Li Yen is the only one who's close to them?
"I am friendly to them. I even gave them some treats but why I'm still feeling the distance between them." Qianfan pouted while using the information he got from the book.
Yu Yan sadly furrowed his forehead. "Forgive me, master, for being straightforward but I think it is because you're a low range concubine and they will gain nothing from you." Yu Yan explained with his head down. "Li Yen is kind enough to be close with us. I hope the master won't find this offending." he continued.
Qianfan patted his shoulder. "No. That's okay. I understood." he soothed and continued to walk.
Now that he understands why no one's siding with Wan Shen. It's because they'll not get any benefits if they try to be close to him. Those users!
Ha! Once I proved my innocence and became successful, I'll show them what it feels like to be a loser. The Wan Shen now is different from before. Just wait y'all and you'll see!
