This Young Master studies spring palace. (Part Three)

In the early morning at the Regent’s compound, the sun shone brightly and the air was a little hot and dry.
The maids rushed in and out to place ice chunks to cool down the room, moving very quietly for fear of waking up His Royal Highness and madam.
Oh, there is even a spring palace picture book on the ground.
Last night during madam’s first night in bed, he must have been tossed and turned all night.
The braver maid peeked into the bedchamber and to her amazement, she saw His Royal Highness holding the young madam tightly in his arms.
His Royal Highness had never shown interest in beauties. This huge compound never had the privilege of housing a wife or a royal consort, or even the breath of female relatives, giving the maids so little to gossip about.
Now, the compound finally felt more alive.
The maid crept out of the room.
On the bed, Meng Huan was cuddled into someone’s arms. Feeling suffocated, he turned his head uncomfortably.
Who was holding him? So freaking hot. He pushed the body pressing against him, rubbed his face and felt more awake.
Lowering his head, he saw Lin Bozhou on the bed with him, looking like he was about to wake up soon with his long and thick eyelashes fluttering.
“…”
Meng Huan lay back down on the bed, returning into the man’s arms as soundlessly as he could with his head back against Lin Bozhou’s shoulder. He confirmed that he was in the exact position as when Lin Bozhou was just holding him.
Lin Bozhou opened his eyes and saw Meng Huan looking at him with crystal-clear eyes. “Your Royal Highness, you are awake?”
He looked very much like a deeply infatuated wife.
Lin Bozhou closed his eyes again. The young man in his arms was very docile, like a kitten struggling to snuggle deeper into his arms, not feeling like they were intimate enough.
Then…this was how he was accidentally rubbed by Meng Huan.
“…”
Then, Meng Huan quietly moved away again.
This elusive little gesture was quite cute. With a muffled chuckle slipping out of his throat, Lin Bozhou gently tilted his head and pulled Meng Huan back into his arms.
The smell of sandalwood assaulted Meng Huan’s nose.
People of the ancient period liked their incense. Lin Bozhou’s clothes were covered in a light scent of it. The man slightly tilted his jaw, raising the heat between them. They were so close that Meng Huan could brush against the other man’s neck with just a turn of his head.

Meng Huan played the meek concubine and asked after a moment, “Your Royal Highness, are you awake?”
“Zww.” Olc Dbhtbe gfqilfv ijhlis.

The bright colors and twisted limbs stimulated his just awakened nerves.
Bang—Meng Huan kicked the diagram book under the bed, washing his face and rinsing his mouth as if he had seen nothing.
My bad, my bad.
Lin Bozhou must have missed it, right?
—But the book’s glaring picture was on display on the ground. For a person to miss it, they must have eye problems!
However…Lin Bozhou does have an eye problem.
Meng Huan wiped his face with a handkerchief, as he was sweating with guilt.
It was just that Lin Bozhou was not interested in him at all, which made him look very stupid taking a spring palace picture book to teach the man how to stab him…
However, it was a good thing for the man to be uninterested in him. At least there was no need for him to go through the disastrous love-hate relationship plotline TvT.
Meng Huan picked up the comb and walked up to the man. “Your Royal Highness, this concubine would like to brush your hair, would that be all right?”
Lin Bozhou dropped his feet on the ground with a lazy look on his face. The eunuch knelt to the ground to put on his shoes. Hearing Meng Huan’s words, he did not bother raising his eyes.
This was when someone rushed in from outside, knocking over a basin of water a maid was carrying in her hands.
Bang!
The copper basin fell to the ground, creating an ear-piercing noise.
The Prince Regent’s compound had always been a place of strict rules, and it was a surprise that someone could be this careless.
Even Lin Bozhou raised his head.
Chen An, the chief secretary and the highest-ranking civil official in this compound, came in huffing and puffing, “Your Royal Highness, an urgent matter.”
Lin Bozhou frowned.
–
Meng Huan ended up having breakfast alone.
He saw Lin Bozhou get dressed quickly, tie up his hair with a jade crown and put on his crimson imperial outfit, leaving with a large crowd of people behind him.
The man probably has to attend to official business.
Which was good news for him. His life as a rich widow starts now. Meng Huan strolled along, and found that the maids and servants were extremely nice to him today, curtsying from a distance away.
Meng Huan was puzzled and turned to ask Feng Zhi, the maid beside him, “What’s all of this?”
Feng Zhi explained, “Madam, the whole compound heard of you serving His Royal Highness in bed last night. In the future, you may be the tip of the Royal Highness’s heart, so of course they will think highly of you.”
Tsk, tsk.
Such snobby feudal thinking.
But don’t you guys worry. I will not aim to be the tip of his heart, I would be very miserable if I did. Meng Huan replied back in his thoughts while strolling around the compound to aid digestion.
He wandered to what seemed to be a remote courtyard.
There were people talking ahead.
“Whose child is this?”
“How dare you, don’t you know this is the compound of His Royal Highness? How dare you trespass through climbing the wall?”
“Oh dear, he is really going to jump in from the wall!”
A few elderly women and men were facing the wall helplessly. There was even a person poking upward with a bamboo pole, trying to get the child off the wall.
As Meng Huan approached, he saw a child hanging on the wall, looking about ten years old. He was both pale and thin, but he had very beautiful facial structure, with a touch of melancholy and deep temperament.
The child stood on the wall and shouted angrily, “You insolent fools! One more poke and you all will lose your heads!”
“…”
“You brat, the daring fool is you! Do you know where this is? This is the Prince Regent’s residence! If you want to play, then scram back out to the fields to beg for food. Don’t come to the Prince Regent’s compound looking for a beating!”
The person with the bamboo pole continued to aim at the boy.
Meng Huan looked up with his hands clasped behind his back. At first, he was only here to see the excitement, but now at a closer look, the child’s situation was obviously grim.
His black clothes were soiled, an obvious trespasser climbing over the wall.
He wondered which household this young master belonged to, with how luxuriously he was dressed.
At the same time, the boy’s face looked torn. He clearly wanted to come in, but he was too scared to jump. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Seeing the desperate pale face, Meng Huan felt merciful. “Stop poking him. It won’t be good if the child really falls down.”
An old woman turned around and huffed, “Who are you supposed to be?” She looked very unyielding.
Feng Zhi rebuked, “How dare you! This is His Royal Highness’s madam!”
“…”
Meng Huan could not stand the gosh-darn hierarchy of olden times, but for a moment, he was also at a loss for what to say.
The old woman eased her expression at this response. Meng Huan turned his attention back up, asking through the ripe plum tree’s shade, “Is there a ladder? Let’s get him down first, it will be bad if he falls and hurts himself.”
Once the woman was back with a ladder, the young boy climbed down using it and stepped on a servant’s back. He obviously wanted to jump down handsomely, but fell forward instead.
“…”
What was the boy trying to do? Meng Huan looked puzzled, but didn’t really want to deal with it anymore. “Please look after him. If a parent comes to collect him, just send him back.”
To everyone’s astonishment, the young boy stood up straight, walked in front of Meng Huan, and said with an imposing manner, “I am coming with you.”
“That’s fine as well.” Meng Huan nodded. “Come, I will take you to the front entrance.”
The young boy refused, “No, I am not going to the front entrance.”
Meng Huan said, “Fine, fine, I will show you around then.”
The young boy finally stopped making a fuss.
Meng Huan smiled cheekily. Does showing you around the front entrance count as showing you around?
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, when the boy saw the front entrance, he frowned, “You—”
But he did not finish ‘despicable audacity’.
Because when they took one step forward.
There was a dense group of people kneeling at the front entrance of the compound, some wearing dark red, some wearing dark blue, there were even some in official clothes with mandarin squares embroidered on their chest who were obviously senior officials
At this moment, they all kneeled at the entrance. There was a eunuch collapsed to his knees in front of them with blood gushing from his forehead.
Among the kneeling crowd stood Lin Bozhou, looking sinisterly scary. He seemed to have just dismounted. With a horsewhip in one hand, he glared down at the people while tapping on the hem of his outfit, looking furiously angry.
No one dared to speak in this dead silence.
…Better not show him the front gate for now. Although Meng Huan did not know what was going on, he pulled on the young boy beside him. “Let’s leave quickly.”
But the boy snorted.
There was a certain degree of smugness on his face.
Then Meng Huan saw the boy take a step forward and shout with immense joy, “Royal Brother!”
The translator has something to add:
Teo: Nanana, thank you so much for the Kofi <3!
“For a person to miss it, they must have eye problems!
However …Lin Bozhou does have an eye problem.”
I’M DYING WITH LAUGHTER XD

Hopefully Meng Huan doesn’t get accused of kidnapping the emperor.
