It was an iron rule that horses and carriages were prohibited from entering the compound. But today, the carriage drove inside and went straight to Lin Bozhou’s sleeping chambers. This was happening for the first time in the history of the Regent’s compound.

Lin Bozhou carried Meng Huan to the sleeping chambers. The crowd even heard his cheer of “We are finally home!” followed by Lin Bozhou’s hastily departing figure. The rest of the attendants led the horses back to the stables and sighed to Shan Xing, “Friend Shan.”

Shan Xing sighed as well, then he said, “Cut him some slack. His Royal Highness has never married or touched any beauties, even at the age of twenty-six. It is normal for him to be wanton now, very normal.” HYIScd

“But earlier…”

For the attendants, Lin Bozhou was an educated man of culture, a pure and aloof figure. It was indeed a bit ridiculous for him to say such intimate words in the carriage. They exchanged looks with each other and scratched their chins, not completely clear on what was going on.

“All right now, break it up!” Shan Xing dispelled their intent to watch the excitement.

As he walked back, he didn’t forget to glance towards the candlelit palace, clicking his tongue twice in a mysterious manner.

In the dead of night, all the servants in the compound had retired.

The night in the compound suddenly lengthened as the lanterns swayed gently with the flickering flames and chirping of cicadas.

You Jin, who usually served Lin Bozhou in bathing and sleeping, entered the sleeping chambers and was about to enter the bedroom, but the eunuch, who had been on duty since the afternoon, stopped him.

You Jin was holding a handkerchief. When he heard about His Royal Highness returning with madam in his arms, he asked, “When will His Royal Highness be getting up?” Ddv3b

“His Royal Highness is still resting for now.” The young eunuch replied meaningfully.

You Jin said, “Fine, then we shall wait.”

When a compound that had been lonely for several years finally had gossip, no one would be able to resist.

You Jin delicately raised his hand like an actress, taking the lead and saying, “So nice, His Royal Highness finally found someone. Oh!” He even wiped away tears as he spoke. “We servants can occasionally take care of His Royal Highness, but not in everything. Many things need to be handled by a bed companion. I hope that madam has a kind heart that can take good care of His Royal Highness for us and for the old Royal Consort. Our Royal Highness always looks grand beyond words to outsiders; only we, the servants who follow him, know just how much His Royal Highness has suffered—”

He stopped talking and squatted outside under the dark eaves in the dead of night, waiting for Lin Bozhou’s summons.

This was the downside of being in the ancient period. The door was made of wood with a sheet of paper, so the sound insulation was very poor. Even if it wasn’t done intentionally, the sounds inside would always travel out at least a bit.

You Jin listened with a grin. “We watched His Royal Highness grow up, but never did I expect to witness this day.” meIgsV

The young eunuch, “…”

You are so perverted.

Not before long, the servants delivering hot water were also waiting outside, forming several uniform lines.

After a while, a eunuch came out and said, “Send in the hot water.” rsxdQy

“No.” The man’s deep voice came from behind.

A moment later, the beautifully carved folding screen was pushed partly away as Lin Bozhou walked out in his white inner robe. The loose robe was draped around him, and wet strands of hair hung behind his white neck, defining his jawline more clearly and enhancing his handsome and alluring appearance. eJdszn

Lin Bozhou had a lazy expression on his face, and the darkness on his brow seemed thicker. His face glistened as if nourished by rain; it was beautiful beyond compare. With half-lidded eyes, he lowered his relaxed gaze, his thoughts lazily settling, his attention on the hot water in the bathtub.

You Jin asked cautiously, “Your Royal Highness, madam…”

“Madam is asleep.”

You Jin probably had an idea and dared not ask more questions, but only offered his duties as a servant. “Then should this servant go and serve madam—” PMH3L

“No need.”

It was a eunuch’s job to serve. Eunuchs were a sad collective who lost a part of their lower body for an opportunity to serve royalty. Only without their masculinity were they entitled to be trusted.

However, no matter the person, Lin Bozhou didn’t like anyone getting close to what he cared about. This was a common understanding in the compound, just like how he handled everything related to government affairs personally.

Obviously, Lin Bozhou also didn’t want anyone to touch Meng Huan right now. qeHh A

Due to His Royal Highness’s possessive desire, You Jin had nothing more to say and nodded. “Understood.”

When the hot water was poured to the brim, Lin Bozhou said, “Everyone, out.”

You Jin excused himself and retreated to the entrance.

“Halt.” Lin Bozhou called out again in his slightly hoarse voice. JYbPvj

“What else can this servant do for your Royal Highness?”

After a moment of thought, Lin Bozhou suddenly instructed, “Find Chen An.”

Rubbing his forehead with his slim fingers and feeling sleepy, Lin Bozhou’s narrow eyes squinted, looking like he was in a good mood. “Find him and draft the documents for madam’s promotion to consort.”

Promotion to Consort? qr53nd

Promotion to Royal Consort?

There was finally going to be another master, the other half, in this compound?

Meng Huan had not been in the palace for a long time, and he only slept with Lin Bozhou, and the palace recognized the master. You Jin was so surprised that he couldn’t speak, the handkerchief in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he couldn’t restrain his excitement for a while. Mood, nodded violently.

Meng Huan came to the compound not that long ago and only slept with Lin Bozhou for one night, but this was enough for him to be officially named the master of this compound. You Jin was shocked into speechlessness. The handkerchief in his hand almost fell to the ground. For a moment, he was unable to restrain his excitement as he nodded vigorously. 1sATdm

With a screech, he replied, “Understood!”

Falling into a daze, Meng Huan felt like he was dreaming.

At first, it was a beautiful dream. He was dreaming that he was sailing on a blue sea under a clear blue sky, drifting along with the waves, and soaking up the warm water and breeze. Like Patrick Star and SpongeBob, floating along happily and brightly. KTbkut

However, the sky gradually turned dark and filled with gloomy clouds as huge raindrops fell, hitting him on his face and body and drenching him in cold water.

He began to feel uncomfortable as he fought to rid himself of this stuffy feeling. Then he woke up in a fit of suffocation.

The harsh daylight shone on his eyes, unusually piercing.

Meng Huan gasped for breath and surveyed the surroundings with his large, almond-shaped eyes. He found himself in a magnificent chamber with famous and expensive decorations on antique shelves and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Everything was elegant and luxurious, which was entirely different from his small courtyard. EOMfGF

For a moment, he couldn’t remember where he was.

Several eunuchs and maids rushed through the door. “Madam, are you awake?”

In an instant, Meng Huan was sure that this was Lin Bozhou’s bedroom. His open mouth was not closed, and he looked down. I don’t know who changed him into brand new pajamas, the necklines were neatly folded——

In a flash, Meng Huan became certain that this was Lin Bozhou’s bedchamber. He gawked and looked down, not knowing who changed him into fresh sleeping robes and neatly arranged the neckline— LimeAc

The maids behind him hurried forward; however, Meng Huan shouted, “Everyone, out!”

The maids froze on their feet.

Meng Huan repeated, “Out!”

Only then did he find that his voice was hoarse and that he was unable to shout as usual, especially with how sore his throat felt. A thought surfaced in his mind, and a chill ran down his back. His heart began to pound wildly in his chest. MFaZlA

It couldn’t be?

Everything was on display. He and Lin Bozhou finally sealed the deal as a married couple.

The events of yesterday’s drinking at the restaurant were still fresh in his mind, but they became fragmented once he got drunk. He remembered Lin Bozhou leading him and hearing that they were returning to the compound, but he couldn’t remember anything afterward.

He. Could. Not. Remember. A. Single. Thing.  wPCcF9

He felt a little out of breath.

So far, his impression of Lin Bozhou had remained that of a murderous, treacherous minister, a merciless, and cold tyrant that conducted every evil deed and who would get what was coming to him sooner or later. He never expected…

He tried to recall what happened last night but had a splitting headache. He drank too much and blacked out, losing consciousness.

A thought was gradually becoming clearer—could Lin Bozhou have taken advantage of his drunkenness to force him to consummate the marriage? uCaPl

A chill ran down his back, making Meng Huan’s hands and feet feel cold. He just passed through the book and had no real sense of this place, and he didn’t want to care about anything other than saving his life, but he found that Lin Bozhou was really like a high-ranking and privileged person who didn’t take his dignity seriously, and his willingness to deal with him in this regard was just like that. The ancients were still surprised when they treated concubines the same.

A chill ran down his back again, making Meng Huan’s limbs cold. When he first transmigrated into this book, he didn’t feel like anything was real in this place; he didn’t care about anything except staying alive. But he found that Lin Bozhou was really like a privileged person in a high position of power. He disregarded Meng Huan’s dignity and used him as he wished, the same as how concubines were treated in the past. Despite being aware of this, it still shocked him inside.

Although this day would have come sooner or later, Meng Huan didn’t expect that he would get drunk, and when he woke up, it would have already happened.

When he rose again through the pain, a maid’s voice rang outside the door. “Mad—Royal Consort.” 407XGK

They continued, “Chief Secretary Chen An requests an audience with the Royal Consort.”

His title had changed.

Did Lin Bozhou promote him?

Meng Huan spaced out for a moment and realized that this formality was no different from being given the title of concubine after sleeping with an emperor—just a small favor given to a plaything. aEXSd6

He clenched his teeth. As a modern man, he was speechless. “Request rejected.”

The light passing through the window indicated that it was well into noon. Lin Bozhou should have left for the Imperial City to attend the imperial court by now. Meng Huan closed his eyes, and memories from yesterday of drinking in the restaurant flashed through his mind. It must have been during that period of time that he got drunk and followed Lin Bozhou into the carriage before losing consciousness.

Meng Huan opened his eyes back up; his sunbathed face was delicate, and his fragile skin was pale to the point of near transparency. His dark pupils reflected the scattered sunlight, and his face was devoid of even the slightest expression.

His expression was a little dazed. LtOJYT

To be honest, he wasn’t feeling so great right now. This was a new experience in life, having been a virgin originally. Now his muscles were sore, and his bones felt like they were on the verge of falling apart. Where were the comfortable and amazing feelings described in the novel? He felt like a wrinkled piece of paper from rough handling, unable to guess what Lin Bozhou had done to him.

“Call the people in my courtyard to come pick me up.” Meng Huan pushed open the door.

A maid was worried about Meng Huan’s body. “Why doesn’t the Royal Consort rest a little more? At the Royal Consort’s current state of health, it is better to stay in His Royal Highness’s bedchamber and wait for His Royal Highness’s return from the court—”

Meng Huan didn’t know this, but these servants did. FgsMX1

This morning, Lin Bozhou went to court an hour later than usual. Once he was dressed in his court uniform, he didn’t rush out immediately, instead sitting on the edge of the bed and studying the Royal Consort’s face with a gentle look, unable to resist caressing that tender face with his fingertips.

The servants would always try to gauge a monarch’s heart. They knew that Lin Bozhou wanted to see the Royal Consort upon his return.

Meng Huan hesitated before turning the offer down. “No.”

He didn’t want to stay here. et83jh

The maids didn’t continue with their efforts to stop him. “Understood.”

The servants carried the palanquin on their shoulders and took Meng Huan back to his courtyard. Once he was back in this familiar place, he stood in the yard and looked around, breathing in the familiar air, which calmed his suspended heart. He was not feeling as lost or restless as before.

The feeling of fatigue from within his bones caught up to him. He could feel the discomfort in his body with even the softest step. This completely unfamiliar feeling made him feel like his life was completely at the mercy of another person.

A cloud of inexplicable bitterness washed over him. 2U8Dr1

With a basin in her hands, Feng Zhi opened her mouth and called out, “Mad—”

Then, when she remembered the news of Meng Huan’s promoted status, she changed her words. “Royal Consort.”

Meng Huan hung and shook his head, returning to his side room, slamming and locking the door behind him.

He wanted to empty his bladder, so he went to the wooden bucket, but he found that not only could he not relieve himself, it also hurt so much. He didn’t even know how the man had toyed with him. 3S90UY

He whimpered and sobbed.

He could no longer contain his grievances or his sobs as he flopped on his bed, covered his face with the quilt, and stayed under it until it got so hot and suffocating. He lifted the quilt and revealed his small face, which was wet and sticky from his tears.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lin Bozhou didn’t respect him.

Lin Bozhou treated him as a plaything. UgM5Ww

What kind of man-eat-man society was this? Just the thought of it made him sob uncontrollably. He closed his eyes and went to sleep. During his half-sleep state, he dreamed again of last night’s nightmare. Lin Bozhou’s face materialized from the smoke.

QAQ!

He couldn’t even find happiness in sleep.
