Chapter 10 The Prince Uses Diapers for the First Time

Chapter 10: The Prince Tries Diapers for the First Time

The steamed egg was tender, smooth, and melted in his mouth. After just one bite, Luo Junhe was blown away by how good it tasted.

"Did you make this?"

He tasted it carefully. For a moment, he couldn't even tell what it was.

"Yes, this is steamed egg custard. It's got protein, which your body needs. I added salt, sesame oil, and chopped green onions, so it's got some flavor. You can eat more."

Luo Junhe didn't understand what 'protein' was, but he understood 'steamed egg custard'—that's just eggs, isn't it? In the Dongchen Kingdom, eggs were usually boiled and shelled. He had never tasted such delicious eggs before. It never occurred to him you could cook eggs like this.

He must have been really hungry, as Luo Junhe had a good appetite. He ate the whole bowl of steamed egg custard, and Ji Yuntang then fed him some millet and pumpkin porridge.

The pumpkin porridge was cooked down until it was really soft, slightly sweet and sticky. She wasn't worried about him choking on it.

After the meal, Ji Yuntang began clearing away the dishes. Just as she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of Luo Junhe's strange expression from the corner of her eye—a look that was both pained and deeply embarrassed.

Ji Yuntang walked over and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did the food upset your stomach?"

"That's impossible. This recipe is approved by experts from a bunch of countries and is very suitable for patients with poor digestion."

Luo Junhe looked uncomfortable. "N-no... Could you... go out for a moment..."

Seeing him like this, it clicked for Ji Yuntang—he had to pee. In the hospital, patients who needed to go but were too proud often wore this same *swallowed a fly* expression. Ji Yuntang was used to seeing that. "Pfft, I thought it was something bad."

"Your Highness, if you need to pee, just go ahead. I've placed a diaper underneath you. It won't wet your pants or the sheets. From now on, you can pee whenever and however much you want. There's no need to feel embarrassed."

Hearing this, Luo Junhe's face twisted further.

He never expected this woman to talk about going to the bathroom so bluntly and crudely?

He thought, what was a 'diaper'? He had never heard of such a thing.

Remembering how dry he felt *down there* earlier, Luo Junhe was startled.

Had she... seen everything?

Sure enough, Ji Yuntang's next words spelled it out for him.

"Your Highness, I have already seen and touched every part of your body. But rest assured, I'm a doctor with strong professional ethics. There's nothing special about your body to me, so you don't need to feel embarrassed."

After all, in a doctor's eyes, aren't people just pale lumps of flesh?

Although, currently, Luo Junhe was a *rotten* lump of flesh. She would need to use all her medical knowledge to turn this rotten flesh into something white, handsome, and smooth.

Luo Junhe: "..."

Embarrassment, shame, anger, helplessness—a mix of emotions washed over him, finally coming out as a weak sigh.

If Ji Yuntang didn't even mind that he was a cripple, what was he being so prissy for?

However, Luo Junhe felt a sliver of doubt about the 'diaper' Ji Yuntang mentioned.

Since becoming paralyzed, he had wet the bed no less than a hundred, if not a thousand, times. He had never heard of something you could wear that wouldn't wet your clothes.

Hard as it was to believe, Luo Junhe was desperate. He frowned and asked, "This 'diaper' you mentioned... it really won't wet my pants?"

Ji Yuntang nodded. "Of course. Don't worry about it. I have plenty more."

"If you feel awkward with me standing here and can't go, I'll step out."

Knowing it was his pride, Ji Yuntang finished speaking, opened the door, and walked out. Finally, Luo Junhe let go.

(O?O)

After he tried it, Luo Junhe was stunned.

This was his first time witnessing the wonder of diapers.

Just as she had said, after urinating, everything down there was still completely dry.

On the stone table outside the West Courtyard, Qiao Ye and Tao Zhi had brought the new meals from the kitchen.

Besides the spinach and carrot porridge Ji Yuntang had specifically requested, there were also three rare dishes and a soup: spicy stir-fried okra, steamed sea bass, plum blossom tofu, and sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup.

Seeing Ji Yuntang, Qiao Ye eagerly approached and respectfully presented the chopsticks with both hands.

"Your Highness, the spinach and carrot porridge for His Highness the Prince is ready. I thought you hadn't had breakfast either, so I had the kitchen prepare a portion for you as well."

Ji Yuntang didn't take the chopsticks. Instead, she picked up a spoon and stirred the spinach and carrot porridge in the bowl, saying sarcastically, "Well, well, so they *can* cook after all. This Princess truly thought they were a bunch of brain-dead fools who couldn't understand human speech."

Qiao Ye forced a smile and cautiously agreed, "Your Highness jests. From now on, you are the mistress of this mansion. Who would dare disobey you?"

Ji Yuntang ignored Qiao Ye. She sat down, initially thinking the dishes might be poisoned again, but after checking, found no poison.

Something unusual was definitely afoot. The maid's behavior was too deliberate, forcing Ji Yuntang to stay on guard.

She was already full. She symbolically picked up a few bites with her chopsticks and said casually, "Since you are so intent on being responsible for my meals, let me tell you my preferences. This Princess has a heavy palate and enjoys spicy food. I am allergic to peanuts and legumes. Go tell the kitchen that from now on, the cooks should not add these ingredients."

"Yes, Your Highness. We will remember," Qiao Ye and Tao Zhi said simultaneously.

Ji Yuntang ate a few more bites, finding the dishes utterly bland and tasteless—not as good as what she could make herself—and prepared to get up and leave.

At that moment, Qiao Ye and Tao Zhi exchanged a glance and suddenly knelt on the ground together.

"Your Highness, we beg you to take us in. We are willing to serve you and His Highness the Prince personally. Please give us two servants a chance."

They were originally assigned by Nanny Xu to serve Liu Linlang. Now that Liu Linlang had been severely injured by Ji Yuntang, and since Tao Zhi and Qiao Ye had leaked information about Liu Linlang to Ji Yuntang—effectively betraying her—they certainly couldn't return to Liu Linlang's side.

Even if they did go back, their fate wouldn't be good. Nanny Xu and Liu Linlang would not let them off.

Thus, Ji Yuntang became the most suitable person for them to seek refuge with in their minds.

After a moment's thought, Ji Yuntang understood Tao Zhi and Qiao Ye's intention. Were these two planning to use her as a shield?

She dared not use such double-dealing people. However, that didn't stop her from turning their scheme to her advantage.

Ji Yuntang thought about how she would prepare three meals a day for Luo Junhe in the small kitchen within her space from now on. The origin of the food would be hard to explain.

Having two maids to cover for her would make things much more convenient.

At worst, if she discovered they were problematic, she could just kill them.

She decided to agree. "Very well, you two may stay. However, His Highness is only accustomed to being attended by this Princess. From now on, deliver the daily meals to me first. Understood?"

The two replied meekly, "Yes, Your Highness."
