Shi Qing stormed into the study in a fit of anger, catching several princes who were comfortably seated inside off guard as they observed his disheveled appearance covered in snow.
The young master was usually a bit delicate, and since the moment they first laid eyes on him, they had never seen a drop of rain touch his person.
Every day, the court ministers would dismount from their sedan chairs and walk into the palace gate, while the princes within the palace were not allowed to use sedan chairs.
The palace concubines, on the other hand, were permitted to use them, but there was a strict separation between the harem and the previous dynasty. If the concubines wanted to come to the front part of the palace, they had to walk there according to the rules.
In this vast former dynasty, aside from their father the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne, only Shi Qing enjoyed the privilege of entering the palace gate without having to use a sedan chair.
The pampered young master didn't let this unique treatment go to waste. Since the Emperor allowed him not to use a sedan chair, he could sit all the way to the study, even requiring someone to carry him up the steps.
He had the confidence to be this arrogant. Lately, ever since he started to trouble Yu Chen Nian, Young Master Shi had become even more relentless. After a whole day, the golden-threaded embroidery on his azure cloud-patterned boots was still pristine and white, showing that his feet had barely touched the ground.
And now, the delicate young master still had unmelted snowflakes in his black hair, his red cloak was also covered in them, and even the soles of his shoes, which had never been tainted, were now damp with snowwater.
"Shi Qing? Why didn't you let a eunuch carry you in?" The princes all stood up, showing concern. It was the Crown Prince who spoke, and he said it with a smile, reaching out his hand to help Shi Qing remove his cloak.
However, Shi Qing directly avoided his hand, his round eyes filled with displeasure. "Big brother, what do you mean by this?"
Crown Prince: "?"
Crown Prince: "What did I do?"
Shi Qing looked infuriated. "If you don't like me, just say it. If you find me unpleasant, tell me straightforwardly. What's the meaning of treating me like this?"
"I mistreated you? How...how did I mistreat you?" The Crown Prince, now unfairly bearing a heavy burden, looked utterly confused.
Who didn't know Shi Qing's status? He wasn't stupid. Why would he bully Shi Qing?
"You're saying you didn't!" Young Master Shi was even angrier. He turned around, stomped over to the door, and grabbed Yu Chen Nian, who was standing outside in the snow and refusing to come in. Then, he rushed back inside.
"Who doesn't know that I wanted him to carry me down from the sedan chair these days? You made him stand in the snow for so long, all wet, and you expect him to carry me!"
Crown Prince: "…"
He was just messing with Yu Chen Nian a bit. But somehow, when it came out of Shi Qing's mouth, it became an attack on Shi Qing.
Even if he had a thousand curses in his heart, he knew he couldn't provoke Shi Qing. He forced himself to calm down, swallowed his pride, and wore a smile on his face as he reached for Shi Qing's arm. "Shi Qing, I really didn't mean it that way. It's just that Jiuyi has been doing poorly in his studies lately. As his elder brother, I naturally have some expectations for him, which is why I punished him."
"Jiuyi can't carry you. Should I have another eunuch carry you?"
"No way!"
If it were anyone else, they would have accepted the offer, but those three words—'see good and accept it'—were not in Young Master Shi's vocabulary.
The eunuchs serving in the palace were different from ordinary servants outside. They had been castrated at a young age and had been doing servile work since childhood. They had to wake up early in the morning and go to bed late at night, and their food was not carefully prepared, so they naturally didn't put on much weight.
When carried on their backs, they were hard and bony.
Additionally, most eunuchs, lacking their manhood, often couldn't control their bodily functions as well as regular men. If they couldn't make it in time, it was inevitable that they would reveal some accidents.
To avoid their masters finding it unpleasant, most eunuchs would ask someone to bring them perfumed powder from outside the palace to apply on themselves.
Except for those eunuchs with special privileges, the young eunuchs didn't have much money to spare, so the perfumed powder they bought was quite cheap and had an overpowering scent when applied to their bodies.
But even if it was strong, it was still better than letting their masters catch a whiff of unpleasant odors.
That's why people outside the palace often said that eunuchs who had lost their manhood were like half-women. After all, they were always surrounded by fragrant scents, which made them appear more feminine.
Getting back on track, Shi Qing was here to be a study companion and naturally didn't have any attendants with him. He would always have a eunuch carry him when he arrived.
In the past, Young Master Shi could endure it, as he didn't have a choice. But after being carried by Yu Chen Nian for a few days, he had gotten used to it.
He unreasonably complained to the Crown Prince, "These days, when Yu Chen Nian is with me, everyone knows that when you punish him, you're also punishing me. Since I started accompanying you, I have to enter the palace early every day, and I can't return home until the sun sets. Every time you receive a punishment, it's me who stands in for you. I've put in so much effort for you, and now you're punishing me through Yu Chen Nian. What kind of reasoning is this?"
The Crown Prince nearly burst out laughing. "Punishing Yu Chen Nian is one thing. How can it be related to you?"
Shi Qing boldly asserted, "If you hadn't punished him, I wouldn't be covered in snow like this!"
The logic was hard to refute.
Unfortunately, the other princes, seeing these two arguing, suddenly felt more cheerful.
Fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire, who didn't know how to do that?
"Yeah, big brother, this is your fault."
"Shi Qing is still young, used to a pampered life at home, and now he has to endure hardships in the palace. His grievances are justified."
"Big brother, apologize to Shi Qing. Don't do this again next time. He's innocent, and it's a shame to embarrass him like this."
For Shi Qing, he never had to worry about doing something wrong. Everyone around him shared the same belief.
Shi Qing couldn't make mistakes; it was always someone else's fault if they provoked him. If he did make a mistake, refer to the previous rule.
Before, he had done nothing when all this happened, only because Shi Qing wanted to harm him but failed, so Yu Chen Nian became the one at fault.
At that time, the Crown Prince had found it quite amusing. Now it was his turn.
The Crown Prince: "..."
When he was treated this way himself, he realized how frustrating it felt to be wrongly accused and forced to apologize for something he didn't do.
The Crown Prince was the eldest son and had always considered himself influential among his younger brothers. He could appease Shi Qing due to the support of the Prime Minister and the Emperor, but being blamed openly in front of his younger brothers was something he had never experienced.
No matter how angry he was, he had to endure it for Shi Qing's benefit.
He took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and suppressed his irritation. "Shi Qing, it's my fault. I won't do this again next time. Please don't be angry."
Young Master Shi's anger slowly subsided. He snorted, lifted his chin proudly, and put on an "I'm so forgiving" expression. "Fine, considering that you've admitted your mistake, I'll forgive you this time."
This was the typical behavior of someone who had gained an advantage and was now acting cute.
The Crown Prince's smile looked like it was about to twist off his face.
He glanced around and saw that, apart from Yu Chen Nian, who remained silent and indifferent, the other three princes were looking at him with amusement and mockery.
When had he ever suffered such injustice?
He endured it for a while, but he couldn't hold it in any longer.
With a forced smile on his face and a dry tone, he said, "I'm feeling a bit tired today. I'll go to rest for a moment in the back. Please inform Tutor Shao when he arrives."
After saying that, he hurriedly turned and left.
Judging by his back, he seemed on the verge of exploding.
The other three princes exchanged glances, then warmly engaged with Shi Qing in conversation.
"Look at how wet you are."
"You also have a child's temper. If you're not feeling well, go back to the study first. Look at all that snow on you. You should change quickly. Catching a cold would be terrible."
"And your boots, they're soaked. Do you have a spare pair in the back? If not, I can have someone bring a new pair from my room. Don't worry, they're all brand new."
Shi Qing was surrounded by caring friends. They all looked at him with concern, as if he had suffered a great ordeal standing in the snow for a while.
For Yu Chen Nian, who had long been accustomed to this treatment, he sneezed and rubbed his nose. "It's okay. A real man can handle a little snow and wind."
"I have spare clothes in my quarters. Go change into something dry."
Afterward, he didn't forget about Yu Chen Nian and turned to look at the young man who remained silent as if he didn't exist.
With a tone that wasn't particularly friendly, he said, "What are you standing there for? Come on!"
Yu Chen Nian, who had always been seen as a reserved figure in the palace, silently followed along. He had stood in the snow for too long earlier, and as he walked, water continued to drip from his clothes.
While the princes didn't mind Shi Qing, they did mind Yu Chen Nian, so they made way for him.
Ignoring the disdainful looks, Yu Chen Nian, like he always did, walked silently, his steps steady and deliberate.
Once they were outside, Shi Qing didn't head straight to his own room. Instead, he reached out to grab Yu Chen Nian's arm.
The young man instinctively evaded.
The young master was taken aback, and a displeased expression immediately appeared on his fair, delicate face. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Yu Chen Nian lowered his gaze, and his arms hung awkwardly at his sides. He replied, "Dirty."
"It's just some snowwater; where could it be dirty? You're too fussy."
However, Shi Qing didn't seem to care at all. He muttered something under his breath and then, in a domineering manner, reached out to grab Yu Chen Nian's arm.
Lowering his voice, he said, "I want to hear if the Crown Prince is speaking ill of me. If you're with me and we're discovered, you must protect me, understand?"
"Of course."
Perhaps Shi Qing felt that this approach made him seem a bit weak, or maybe he thought that if he wanted Yu Chen Nian to assist him, he needed to win him over first.
The young master raised his chin reservedly and said, "I didn't call you here just because none of the palace eunuchs are under my control. I value you. Even though you look like a wooden block, at least you're tall and strong. You can be somewhat useful."
Shi Qing seemed completely unaware that he had revealed too much about himself with that statement. After saying this, he continued to hold Yu Chen Nian's hand firmly and cautiously looked around. He tiptoed forward and, from Yu Chen Nian's perspective, one could see Shi Qing's exceptionally small boots carefully lifting, inch by inch, as he moved forward.
Despite the appearance of someone trying to act stealthily, there was no sign of dislike.
[Ding! Yu Chen Nian's Rejection Level: 95/100]
The system was quite puzzled: [Hasn't the host done nothing wrong?]
Shi Qing replied, [Maybe it's because I'm good-looking, hehehe.]
When the two reached the door of the Crown Prince's residence, the eunuch who should have been waiting outside was nowhere to be seen. To demonstrate the princes' frugality, those who came to the study only brought one eunuch to attend to them. The eunuchs who accompanied the study companions were usually those already working in the study, with one attending eunuch for each study companion.
Unlike the study companions, the eunuchs by the princes' sides were their most trusted confidants. After all, palace maids could leave the palace and get married at the age of 30, but eunuchs were destined to stay in the palace for life. Therefore, they were often even more loyal and reliable than palace maids, making the princes prefer having eunuchs serve them.
Now, the Crown Prince's eunuch wasn't outside, so he must be inside.
Shi Qing held onto Yu Chen Nian's arm and carefully sneaked up to the door.
Yu Chen Nian followed him silently and hid with him, watching as Shi Qing, with wide eyes, carefully placed his ear against the door. In truth, there was no need to press his ear against the door; the Crown Prince's voice was quite loud, and one could hear it clearly just by standing outside.
That was because he was currently throwing things around.
—Bang!!
It seemed like a ceramic teapot or something similar had crashed to the ground.
Following that was the Crown Prince's furious shout, "What kind of person does he think he is? If it weren't for his father's sake, I would have put him in his place long ago!"
A eunuch's voice chimed in, "Your Highness, please calm down. Please lower your voice; if someone hears..."
"If someone hears, then so be it! He's just a subject. Does Father really despise his own eldest son for the sake of a prime minister's son? Who gave him the audacity to speak to me, a prince, in such a manner? Before, I merely tolerated him because of his father's face. He actually thinks of himself as someone important, just a study companion. Yet, he dares to act so arrogantly. Wait until I come into power..."
Yu Chen Nian wasn't surprised at all by the Crown Prince's behavior in private. Among his several royal brothers, the Crown Prince had always been the most tyrannical. Yu Chen Nian had suffered countless unjust punishments from him since childhood.
It was said that he had inexplicably caused the disappearance of several palace maids in the past. Later, those injured palace maids were discovered in a dry well. However, due to the favoritism shown to the Crown Prince's mother, this matter was forcibly suppressed.
The fact that the Crown Prince could hold back his anger until they were inside the room already exceeded Yu Chen Nian's expectations. When he saw Shi Qing, who was clearly furious, about to push the door open, Yu Chen Nian grabbed his hand and stopped him.
If this matter escalated, it was evident that Shi Qing, who was clearly in the wrong, would not have a leg to stand on. Even if they took this to the Emperor, the Crown Prince was not a pushover. Shi Qing, a young master who had been pampered since childhood, could never outmaneuver him.
Inside the room, the eunuch was still trying to console the Crown Prince. "Your Highness, please endure for now. Young Master Shi is just a subject. Your Highness is the true royal heir. Let's see what the future holds."
"Yes, when the time comes, if there's an opportunity, I will certainly recover every debt from him one by one. I don't want his life; I want to keep him by my side. His face is indeed exceptional. He fancies himself noble, doesn't he? When I make him my favorite, he'll serve me every night. Let's see how he can maintain his arrogance then."
Yu Chen Nian's pupils suddenly contracted. He had never left the palace since childhood, and the Emperor had no interest in men. Even if his other elder brothers had such preferences, they would never discuss it with him. While he had come across the term "favorite" in books, he had always considered it just a word.
At this age, it was the first time he had heard these two words spoken by someone else. Moreover, they were being used in reference to Shi Qing.
The Crown Prince inside was indulging in obscene fantasies, his tone dripping with lust. "By then, I will imprison him in the palace, in chains, and allow him to wear only gauze."
As the Crown Prince spoke, Yu Chen Nian's heart began to race. He seemed to genuinely visualize that scene – the proud and arrogant Shi Qing locked in the palace, and in line with his personality, he would likely become furious. Would he angrily meow and kick with his soft, tender feet, or would he resort to violence?
Shi Qing soon provided an answer to Yu Chen Nian's silent query. Just as Yu Chen Nian was absorbed in the Crown Prince's words, Shi Qing, who had turned into a ferocious little tiger, kicked open the door and stormed in.
"You bastard!"
Before the Crown Prince and the attending eunuch could react, the seemingly delicate young man looked around and lifted a round stool, charging towards the Crown Prince with fury in his eyes.
"You actually want me to be your favorite?!!"
Shi Qing shouted furiously, wielding the stool as he aimed at the Crown Prince's lower abdomen.
He charged so quickly that the attending eunuch couldn't react in time. He watched helplessly as his master was struck several times, causing him to groan in pain and hastily cover himself. He also shouted, "What are you all waiting for? Stop him!"
"I spit on you!"
Shi Qing, still holding the stool, struck again. When the eunuch tried to stop him, Shi Qing kicked him away. "Get lost!"
"Yu Chen Hao!!! If you have the guts, don't hide! Today, I will definitely beat you to death!"
Realizing that he had been overheard and that the situation had escalated beyond a simple argument, the Crown Prince abandoned his previous strategy of appeasement. Instead, he now vociferously declared, "I am a prince! Assaulting a prince is a capital offense!"
However, Shi Qing paid him no mind, acting arrogantly.
"What prince? You're so filthy that beating you to death is justified!"
"Master, please calm down!"
Shi Qing pushed the eunuch away and shouted at Yu Chen Nian, "Yu Chen Nian, why are you just standing there? Didn't I tell you to protect me? Stop this damn servant!"
Yu Chen Nian moved into action according to Shi Qing's command. The eunuch was a bootlicker who feared Shi Qing but had no qualms about confronting Yu Chen Nian. Seeing Yu Chen Nian trying to stop him, he used force. However, Yu Chen Nian was even stronger, managing to hold the eunuch back.
Shi Qing, with his fierce momentum, had caught the Crown Prince off guard earlier, and he had been hit several times, causing him intense pain. Unable to resist, he was pushed back until the melee was stopped.
When the other princes and the tutor heard the commotion and arrived, they found four people in the room, all disheveled.
The standoff between the eunuch and Yu Chen Nian was ignored.
Shi Qing was exhausted, panting heavily as he leaned on a table and took deep breaths. A round stool was lying nearby.
In a corner, the Crown Prince crouched, his face not showing any visible injuries, but his painful expressions indicated otherwise.
Upon seeing someone approaching, the Crown Prince immediately seized the eunuch who had come to help him. "Don't mind me; go to the front and summon Father!"
The eunuch glanced around, saw that Shi Qing had no intention of stopping them, and obediently rushed out.
Feeling that backup was coming, the Crown Prince regained his confidence. He straightened his back with difficulty, glaring at Shi Qing with resentment. "Shi Qing! You dared to violently assault a prince like this. Even if Father dotes on you, he won't stand on your side this time. I'll remember this!"
"I'll remember it too!"
Shi Qing remained brazen, glaring viciously at the Crown Prince as if he were completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation. This made the other princes sweat for him.
The Crown Prince had a cruel temperament, but his good standing with the Emperor had its reasons. He was particularly skilled at crying. With his younger brothers, he was domineering and reprimanding. But in front of the Emperor, he was the most obedient eldest son. Otherwise, the previous disappearances of those palace maids would not have been so hushed up.
※※※
The Emperor arrived soon after. Accompanied by the loud proclamation of a eunuch, the Crown Prince, who had been nursing his injuries quietly, suddenly brightened up. He quickly stood up, his eyes welling with tears of grievance as he approached. "Father..."
"Your Majesty!!!"
Before he could reach the Emperor, a slender figure rushed ahead of him, shouting even louder and quicker than him. The person even sounded more aggrieved, anxious, and quicker than him.
Just moments ago, Shi Qing was wreaking havoc throughout the room, but now, he had transformed into a pitiful kitten.
The soft and tender voice was completely devoid of its previous arrogance and dominance: "Although I, as a subject, cannot compare to the esteemed Highnesses, I am still a son of a court official. Since childhood, I have understood the principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. I have always admired Your Majesty, as well as all of Your Highnesses. My heart is devoted to Your Majesty, and even to all of Your Highnesses. However, Your Highness, you compared me to a menial servant, subjecting me to such a grave humiliation. I couldn't control my anger in the moment, which led to my actions."
"Father, please don't believe him. You know the kind of person I am, gentle and modest!"
Shi Qing sniffled, his voice soft and timid, "If the Crown Prince does not acknowledge what he said earlier, then please ask him this: without those words, how could I, someone so timid and frail since childhood due to being born prematurely and physically weak, have unreasonably challenged the Crown Prince?"
The Crown Prince was nearly speechless. Timid and frail? When Shi Qing had chased him all over the room earlier, he didn't seem to lack physical strength at all. His face contorted again, "Father, I am your legitimate child! Shi Qing uses his cunning ways. Our dispute arose because he treated Ninth Brother like a servant, making him carry him up and down the stairs every day. I couldn't stand it, which led to today's altercation. If you don't believe me, ask the palace servants. Is it not true that Shi Qing made Ninth Brother carry him these past few days?"
Shi Qing didn't seem at all worried and continued to sob, "Your Majesty, Ninth Brother and I have a good relationship. He pities my weak constitution and personally carries me down the stairs. Everyone in the study knows about this."
"Today... Today, I saw Ninth Brother standing in the heavy snow, not knowing how long he had been there, soaking wet. I felt sorry for him and asked why the Crown Prince was punishing him. The Crown Prince, unhappy with my concern, went to the rear hall alone. I felt uneasy, so I brought Ninth Brother to apologize to him. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, we heard those words from him... sob..."
The young master couldn't stop crying, continuously wiping his tears, looking incredibly aggrieved, "Your Majesty once said that all of Your Highnesses are like my elder brothers, and I consider the Crown Prince as an elder brother. However, the Crown Prince treated me as a plaything. I think he has always looked down on me as a plaything meant for companionship."
Here, Shi Qing, with a determined expression, sniffled, "Today, I struck the Crown Prince. I don't ask Your Majesty to pardon me, but I request that Your Majesty removes my status as a companion reader. Otherwise, if I continue as the Crown Prince's companion reader, I'm afraid that one day, as he said, he will tie me up in the palace and use me as the plaything he mentioned."
The Emperor's expression changed several times. He believed Shi Qing's words. After all, he was still young and had always admired the Emperor. Even though he had a temper, he would never randomly confront the Crown Prince.
When he had initially appointed Shi Qing as a companion reader for the Crown Prince, it was because he had high hopes for this son, thinking that he could use the Prime Minister's influence. He knew the Crown Prince's character very well but had always turned a blind eye to it, preferring his son to behave obediently in front of him. However, the Crown Prince had seriously let down his expectations.
Insulting the Prime Minister's only son like this and wanting to retaliate further was unacceptable. If Shi Qing suffered humiliation and punishment today, it would be hard for him to explain to the Prime Minister.
He had thought earlier that his eldest son resembled him when he was young, but now it seemed that he was useless. He couldn't even manage a child like Shi Qing and had allowed things to escalate to this extent.
Seeing the Emperor's changing expression, the Crown Prince panicked and quickly knelt down, "Father, Father, I truly didn't... Shi Qing bullied Ninth Brother, and everyone witnessed it, Father!"
His movements were somewhat excessive, and he accidentally hit Shi Qing's leg.
The young master immediately let out a cry, as if avoiding some monstrous flood, and leaped into Yu Chen Nian's arms, trembling.
With this demeanor, not only the Emperor but even the other princes who had witnessed his arrogance before felt that he was extremely afraid.
Furthermore, the crowd started to speak up one by one.
"Father, I can testify that Shi Qing and Ninth Brother have a good relationship and are often together. It's not as Big Brother described."
"Yes, Father, I can also testify. Today, there was a dispute between Shi Qing and Big Brother because Ninth Brother was forced to stand in the snow for over half an hour as a punishment imposed by Big Brother. That's what caused this conflict."
The Emperor's gaze toward his eldest son gradually turned cold. "You are just the elder brother; you act quite imposingly. I have never made any of you stand in the snow for half an hour."
The Crown Prince was left stunned. Leaving the palace and establishing his own estate meant losing the chance to become the Crown Prince.
"Father! Father! Please listen to my explanation, Father..."
"Take the Crown Prince back to rest, and he shall remain restricted for a few days."
"Father! Shi Qing is really mistreating Ninth Brother! You can ask them! We all saw it!"
"Father—"
The Crown Prince was taken away.
After the Emperor consoled Shi Qing, who was hiding in Yu Chen Nian's embrace, expressing that it was his fault for not properly guiding his son, he left with an expression that said, "How did I end up with such a foolish son?"
Several princes followed him out, leaving Yu Chen Nian to comfort the "crying" Shi Qing.
As soon as the Emperor left, the young boy buried in Yu Chen Nian's arms immediately lifted his head and cautiously looked around. When he confirmed that the Emperor had truly left, he crawled out from Yu Chen Nian's embrace.
He rubbed his eyes and let out a yawn. Seeing Yu Chen Nian still gazing at him in a daze, Shi Qing raised his little chin, hummed softly, and retained his familiar spoiled tone, "What are you looking at?"
"Don't think that you're so amazing just because you helped me earlier. Consider yourself lucky. Since you said all that in front of the Emperor today, I'll protect you in the future. But you still have to carry me every day, and at noon every day, you have to come to my room. I won't eat what I don't like, and... Hmm..."
After pondering for a moment, the young boy waved his hand, "I can't think of anything else for now. Let's leave it at that. I'm tired; I want to go back to my room to sleep. When they come back later, tell them that I cried too much and went to rest. Then, come find me."
He finished speaking in a series of commands and, seeing that Yu Chen Nian was still standing there silently, he showed a hint of annoyance on his fair face. He extended his little foot and lightly kicked Yu Chen Nian, saying, "What are you standing there for? I'm talking to you!"
Yu Chen Nian: "Alright."
It was clear that Shi Qing's attitude had changed dramatically. He was like a newborn kitten when dealing with those of higher status, needing to be pampered, acting coy and timid, and pretending to be weak.
However, when dealing with those of lower status, Shi Qing became arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable, demanding that others cater to him and following his lead.
When needed, he would rely softly on someone's embrace, naturally seeking their protection.
Yu Chen Nian suddenly had a thought. If, one day, he could gain power and sit on the throne...
At that time, would Shi Qing also reveal that same obedient, timid expression toward him?
The kitten that he couldn't touch before would then be held in his embrace without restraint.
The moment of peace that could only be obtained when Shi Qing wanted to take a nap would become permanent.
Yu Chen Nian's eyes darkened, and although his expression was no longer as impassive as the princes had always assumed, ambition gradually rose in his eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his own hands, feeling a strong desire to ascend to the throne and sit on that seat of ultimate power.
When that time came, when he held that slender waist, Shi Qing would no longer complain that his palms were too warm and ask him to move away; he would have to move away.
