Deep in the dark night, when it was nothing but quiet and still, a figure dressed in eunuch clothing gently pushed the door open, holding a flickering candle in hand, lighting ‘his’ androgynous little face.

Stepping on the carpet, the footsteps’ sounds were completely absorbed. ‘He’ slowly walked towards the front of the bed, quietly pulling the hanging screen up before looking at the soundly sleeping person on the bed.

Even though that person was lying down, it was difficult to conceal his tall figure. He was merely 15 or 16 years of age, but his body, which was currently wrapped up in black inner clothing, appeared lean yet strong as if he were a sleeping leopard. The half of his face hit by the twinkling candle light looked absolutely exquisite. His lashes were dense and thick, his thin lips lightly pursed, and his brows slightly scrunched, projecting a figure of dignity.

The young eunuch bent down slightly, pressing against the youth’s ear and gently saying.

“Sixth Prince, it’s Yin Shi¹Yin Shi is between 3 – 5 AM., tto get up.”

The youth furrowed his dark brows and turned over drowsily, wanting to cover his ears from hearing the annoying voice in his dreams. Because of this, the other half of his face that was previously hidden in the shadows was also revealed under the dim light.

Exposing crisscrossed gorges that seemed like Asura.

The little eunuch didn’t seem to be afraid of the other side of his face, as though ‘he’ was undeterred, ‘he’ once again urged, “Master, Grand Tutor Jiang will be returning to the palace today after years of travelling, you even asked this slave to remind you to get up early yesterday…”

Upon hearing these words, the youth slowly opened his eyes, and the red whites of his eyes surrounding his black pupils looked a little hazy. He let out a low groan and raised an arm, lazily hooking it around the eunuch in front of him and pressing ‘him’ down. Caught off guard, the eunuch consequently fell on him.

“Little Dumpling, why do you seem more and more like a girl as the days pass by, hm?” The youth casually neared the young eunuch’s neck, playfully blowing air on it. “You keep on nagging all day.”

Chu Jiao immediately reached out a hand to push the youth far away, trying her best not to let the band on her chest touch his body, “Master is one to speak. This slave has never seen any other prince who can dawdle in bed for as long as you do!”

She silently cursed on the inside, thinking, ‘This old lady is a girl alright!? If it weren’t for you, who would want to dress up as someone androgynous! I’m about to get suffocated by these tight binds on my chest!’

Jing Chen then loosened his hold, staring at the little eunuch, who was in a hurry to avoid him, his eyes deepening.

However, he didn’t show this on his face. He merely smiled and got up, ignoring the flat impoliteness of the eunuch’s words, taking the towel to wipe his face and putting on his mask.

“Who told my body to be so unwell, even the imperial physician instructedto rest as much as I can.” Jing Chen covered his chest with a robe and coughed insincerely, scaring Chu Jiao into holding his hands at once, but upon seeing the mirth in his eyes, she paused.

“Master! If you keep scaring this slave, I’ll have to ask Little Yuanzi to wake you up in the morning from now on!”

Chu Jiao angrily said while dressing Jing Cheng up.

Did he think she had it easy! Everyday, she had to wake up before 3 AM and diligently attend to this master, waking him and dressing him up, working hard without a complaint escaping her lips. She always accompanied him to the study room, regardless of importance. It was as if she were a nanny, a model paragon of the ancient times. She pitied the child for having experienced so much hardship during his youth, so when Consort Rong carried out her reconciliation plan, he asked to have the little eunuch attend to him, while she decided to treat him a little better.

Who would’ve expected that this brat would tease her the more he grew older as though he was testing the limits of her patience, making her burst in fury every single time.

“I was wrong.”

At present, the youth was similar to a sprout, his figure quickly growing to about a head taller than Chu Jiao. He lowered his head, and his forehead gently pressed against Chu Jiao’s, his handsface brimming with sincerity, “Little Dumpling, only you treatbest. Could you really bear to seebeing bullied by anyone else?”

“Who dares bully you now?” Chu Jiao inquisitvely raised a brow, already immune to the youth’s coquettish behavior, “Alright, Master. Please hurry. Otherwise, you’ll be late if you don’t leave now, and the imperial tutor will punish you by making you copy scriptures!“

Hearing the little eunuch’s long-winded nagging, the youth walked out of the slightly lit palace hall. The two silently walked on the empty palace grounds, one in the front, one in the back, and though there was no one in sight, it didn’t feel the least bit solitary.
