The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine is an OCh12 - Cinnabar Mole

[unedited]

Wen Mingyu was gifted and diligent in his studies, which made Gong Xue grow more fond of him, and he taught him just the same as his personal disciple. 2DN4 5

At the outset, Wen Mingyu was apprehensive due to Mu Zhan’s statement that he could learn within half a month. So he worked harder than a third-year senior student. At night, he would write with his fingers unconsciously. But a month has passed, Mu Zhan didn’t mention anything after a month and seemed to have forgotten about it.

Wen Mingyu felt relieved, believing that this tyrant still had some humanity left in him. However, he did not become complacent after that, and still continued to study diligently. After all, an opportunity sent to your door should not be wasted. In this era, the Imperial College is the equivalent of the country’s first university, and Gong Xue is a professor inside; it’s not easy for people in general to experience his guidance.

In order to not expose his gender, Wen Mingyu didn’t dare to do anything out of the ordinary in the Interstellar era, lest he generate unnecessary trouble. He intentionally pressed down his scores in the examination, attended an ordinary high school in a small town, and the education resources were obviously not as good as those in the capital. So why don’t he take advantage of the situation, now that he doesn’t have to hide anymore.

Wen Mingyu was not a child who can’t learn anything from scratch, but he does have a knack to remember what he learns. The basic literacy course has long been completed. He is now taking a variety of literature-required courses for literati, of which The Four Books and Five Classics are merely a minor part of it. He’s like a sponge, furiously absorbing up the water of knowledge and turning it into something of his own. hJM4Ya

If Gong Xue wants to find fault with such an excellent student, then his shortcoming would be calligraphy. In the end, even though Wen Mingyu learns quickly, it is also the first time he touches a brush. You can’t suddenly fly to the sky, it requires years of practice and cannot be done all at once.

Therefore, Gong Xue would give him calligraphy assignments outside of class. Once Wen Mingyu gazed at his teacher’s beautiful handwriting, he’d worshipped it in his heart, and he would practice with great deal.

He was practicing his calligraphy in his study on this day, as usual, and when he heard footsteps approaching, he assumed it was Gong Xue, and didn’t raise his head. He inquired, “Sir, look, how is my calligraphy?”

The man said nothing, walked over step by step and stood by him quietly.

The dragon embroidery on the sleeve caught the corner of Wen Mingyu’s eye, and he quickly reflected on who it was. He tilted his head with an astonished face, “Did Your Majesty come specifically to meet me? !”

Those beautiful eyes are black and shiny, clean and transparent, and are gleaming brightly when staring at you. The eyes were filled with only you exclusively, and the joyous expectation that goes with it, as if you are the most important person in the world….. No one could possibly despise it.

Mu Zhan’s gaze darted slightly, avoiding contact as he looked down at the rice paper. He replied weakly, “There’s progress.”

Wen Mingyu’s eyes glowed brightly, and the corners of his lips rose. He almost couldn’t hold back his natural animal impulse to rub up against him. p0P28n

Who doesn’t enjoy being complimented?

Nevertheless, the tyrant’s flattering him, and he’s now in the mood to take off in the air.

Mu Zhan continued when Wen Mingyu became a little flustered and his invisible little tail was about to curl up, “From the level of a three-year-old child, he has advanced to five years old.”

Wen Mingyu froze, and the grin on his face vanished in a second. 6shtkn

This is humiliation, in its purest form!

How one wishes that he could, Wen Mingyu couldn’t wait to leap off his feet and smack him to death in the head with his headbutt.

Mu Zhan stated abruptly, “No need to search for him, this one will teach you.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wen Mingyu was startled and looked up in shock. He’d heard Gong Xue mention His Majesty’s calligraphy skills countless times before. He was a little curious, but for the tyrant to be the teacher, an actual teacher? Then won’t there be a case that the student’s head will be cut off when he’s unhappy? That’s really learning with life on the line.

“…… Your Majesty is occupied with government affairs. This minor thing, I don’t want to disturb Your Majesty. I’ll practice more by myself, it’s enough to ask Sir Gong.” Wen Mingyu humbly declined. dQLj1B

Mu Zhan’s pupil’s constricted, “You are not willing for this one to teach you?”

The tone is a tad unpleasant, with a hint of peril.

Wen Mingyu gave a start and immediately shook his head, smiled charmingly and said, “How can that be? I should be honored, but I’m afraid that I’m too foolish to delay Your Majesty’s affairs.”

“I don’t mind.” 9Q82GB

“That’s wonderful. I’m overjoyed from the bottom of my heart.”

With his eyes shining brightly, Wen Mingyu took the initiative to go for it and handed the writing brush with both hands obediently. He was practically overflowing from happiness, while his heart was racing with thoughts of blowing the Dog Emperor’s head off.

But Mu Zhan refused to pick up the pen. Instead, he approached and stood behind him, allowing him to write while assisting him in seeing and determining the source of the problem.

It must be mentioned that Mu Zhan loomed behind him. His eyes burn even if he didn’t say anything, and he also has an extraordinarily strong sense of presence that one simply can’t ignore. 5YrOeV

Wen Mingyu was inevitably under strain, like the invigilator who stands around examining the room, he couldn’t hold the pen properly because of nervousness. In his heart, he had to hypnotize himself; there’s no one behind him, no one, nothing. In his heart, there were only these words.

Somehow, after chanting these few phrases, it still works a little. He began with a rigid body and gradually became more natural; one stroke and it was done with so much smoothness. However, this is just before Mu Zhan takes action.

As he was reading his writing, Mu Zhan reached out and held Wen Mingyu’s right hand. Obviously, he controlled his hand together with the brush that he was holding. A move like this narrowed the gap between the two. Wen Mingyu remained seated, although he was encircled by Mu Zan’s arms. He could still feel Mu Zhan leaning over and pressing down on his back.

It was almost as if he was embracing him in his arms. AD5cP

This is the closest Wen Mingyu has ever been to Mu Zhan so far. He has never tried to get that near to anyone else before, and he’s uneasy all over.

Mu Zhan seemed to be a lot calmer compared to him. It seems that he only wants to teach him to write and whisk him away with his own hands. Wen Mingyu had a false impression that his right hand was not his own, that he was taken by others and had him under their control. It was like a painting of clouds and flowing water with each stroke being done. After a short while, two words emerged on the paper.

The writing is like that of a wandering dragon, bold and incisive. In those sharp strokes, appeared two words, Mu Zhan, the name of the emperor, were written precisely.

Mu Zhan let go of his hand after completing his writing. 4QP17K

Wen Mingyu regained his composure and began to blow rainbow farts right away, “I’ve heard from the teacher that His Majesty’s calligraphy is amazing, I’ve always wanted to see, It’s really powerful. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to treasure it, and occasionally would take it out to marvel at it!”

People can’t help but worship and respect talented and strong people. Wen Mingyu’s rainbow farts appeared to be excessive and a bit exaggerated, but in fact, compared to the previous rainbow farts, the majority of it this time is his actual true feelings. Mu Zhan’s handwriting is beautiful, and he hopes that he can also write like that as well.

“Up to you,” Mu Zhan replied and naturally gave away the imperial brush, he said flatly, “Now it’s your turn to try.”

Wen Mingyu was taken aback. It was inscribed with the Emperor’s name, wasn’t it forbidden in ancient times? He can simply write as he pleases? jchPie

But the tyrant is a tyrant who has no scruples. Seeing him not move, he stretched out his fingers and tapped at the top of the table. He looked like he had the bearing of a strict teacher.

Mu Zhan’s writing had to be copied by Wen Mingyu. Although it seemed odd to practice writing the Emperor’s name, Mu Zhan had directed him to do so. Mu Zhan pointed out where he lacked the necessary force, or when the pen left the paper too early, and so on.

Unknowingly, he wrote a couple sheets of paper full of Mu Zhan’s name. Some did not have good control of the brush at first, and it even pierced through the back of the paper.

Wen Mingyu took a look at it and strangely felt like a crazed pervert who had unrequited love with Mu Zhan to the point of obsession. He couldn’t help but shiver at the idea and felt goosebumps. RS6EpW

He himself does not understand why, so he subconsciously took a little step back.

Of course, Mu Zhan had no such notion. His mouth was slightly hooked when he peered down at the outcome of Wen Mingyu’s practice, it was unusual to see him with a rare smile.

Mu Zhan nodded and said that it’s not bad.

Wen Mingyu looked up and was about to laugh when Mu Zhan’s hand unexpectedly landed on the side of his face, gently pinching and caressing his earlobe slowly, as if he were rubbing and playing. TIyubM

Wen Mingyu was startled and froze for a moment. He couldn’t help but wonder if the tyrant would suddenly become interested in him and was in the mood. He recalled that his identity was that of a beauty who was offered, and to have him serve him to bed….

Fortunately, Mu Zhan does not appear to have such a purpose. Pinching his earlobe, he looked like a curious but fascinated child who had just received a new toy. He said slowly, “There’s a cinnabar mole on your ear. Why didn’t you notice it before?”

Wen Mingyu’s ears were sensitive, and he felt a tingling sensation that was almost unbearable. He couldn’t take it any longer and wanted to grab Mu Zhan’s hand to remove it away, but he wasn’t sure if it would step on the tyrant’s landmine, so the hand that was supposed to block remained motionless in mid-air. He dryly said, “The mole is so small and inconspicuous, it’s common not to see it.”

“Is that so?” Mu Zhan rubbed again for a long while before slowly retracting his hand and meaningfully said, “The spot where the mole grows is good.” wt8SFJ

Wen Mingyu was perplexed as to how he suddenly focused on the area of the mole. Though when you don’t know what to say in response, blowing farts is the best option.

“But I think that Your Majesty’s mole looks better, right here.” Wen Mingyu said while smiling, warm and bright, pointing to his neck.

This was due to when Wen Mingyu was pressured by Mu Zhan, so he moved his gaze slightly down and instead looked at Mu Zhan’s chin. Naturally, he noticed Mu Zhan’s slender neck, the protruding Adam’s apple, and a little mole next to it. The position was very clever, and it adds a little sexiness to Mu Zhan. There would undoubtedly be many fans licking the screen crazily if he was put in the future and was a star.

Mu Zhan listened to the rainbow fart and remained nonchalant, as if he didn’t realize he had a mole on his neck and didn’t care about it. Ty2J15

Wen Mingyu practiced calligraphy seriously in the study, and Mu Zhan would provide assistance. He didn’t say much, and only occasionally said a few words here and there, but the atmosphere was unusually peaceful and harmonious.

In the evening, retiring to bed.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wen Mingyu inadvertently recalled the afternoon conversation. His countenance changed, he stepped over a few steps and peered in the mirror. Sure enough, he discovered a small cinnabar mole on his left earlobe, vividly dripping, with an indescribable sensation.

The most crucial thing is that the original body doesn’t have a mole, but he does. dPELQ0

Wen Mingyu rubbed his earlobe forcefully with his fingertips. The cinnabar mole was still brightly shining there, quite eye-catching.

San Xi wondered and questioned, “What’s the matter, Young Master?”

Wen Mingyu turned around and asked him, “San Xi, do you recall if there was this mole on my ear when I first joined the palace?”

San Xi paused for a moment, his tone unsure, “It seems not? This servant didn’t notice… Is it that the Young Master dislikes this mole? But this slave heard that this is a sign of good fortune. A beauty mole is the icing on the cake, it adds brilliance to the Young Master’s present splendor.” BRCud

Wen Mingyu did not pay attention. He shook his head and said it was nothing. He then went to bed after bidding good night to San Xi.

However, his heart still continued to think about it.

They used to be as similar as two peas in the pond, but now that it has grown up and is exactly in the same position as his own, is it truly becoming his own body?

Wen Mingyu accidentally traveled back to ancient times. Wen Mingu hadn’t considered it before, but perhaps he’ll return eventually. Although looking at it now, he’s slowly assimilating into this world? zRa0Q

Wen Mingyu had no regrets when he thought that he would never travel back in the future. After all, he was alone, and there was nothing to appreciate in that world. Just let things be.

He was thinking that if the original Wen MingYu had crossed with him, he wished that he would be able to live comfortably there. Breaking free from a wicked family with the same origins as Hou Guangyang, releasing his hands and feet to live his own life, natural and free from these restraints.


ChiFu: They said that rubbing could be an apology, being bossy or affection between bonded pairs. Who here has a rabbit! ? I did say that there’s no update, but I quickly found a charger last Sunday so yeah XD

I just noticed that it’s actually April 1 now QaQ April fools!! Nothing, of course. ChiFu can’t do that, my jokes are so old-fashioned www  qaL36v

  1. I have two bunnies at home. They also kick their legs in their sleep. It’s really cute ( ꈍᴗꈍ) Thank you for the chapter (≧▽≦)

  2. Still 31th in my place, but can’t believe that it’s April now D:

    Thank You for the new chapter ❤

  3. Thank you for the sweet chapter of a bunny getting to study! …and being rubbed (hee hee) on his ears by the emperor! ❤️🤣

  4. No real cuddling yet, but I trust it won’t be long before we do see some activity ☺

    Thank you for the chapter 💕

  5. My rabbit grinds her teeth and sometimes tips over when she falls asleep, it’s so cute… (grinding teeth is similar to a purr for a rabbit). I’m really interested in this version of transmigration, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a physical assimilation plotline before? I also hope the other Wen Mingyu is living well, he deserves a better life. Meanwhile Mu Zhan reminds us all of how young he actually is, getting Wen Mingyu to write his name and even keep it around to admire like a pining middle-schooler haha

    Thank you so much for translating! <3

  6. I wonder, is that really the closest they’ve been? Otherwise why the question about hugging a dog earlier? I think the emperor is starting to like having a pet who could become smart enough to share his burden.
