Eunuch Xia didn't disturb the couple's time together. He returned to the palace early and waited for them in the Longji Hall. After returning, he didn't idle around. Hearing that the top scholar was very talented, he guessed that Qin Ge must like elegant and refined things. The Longji Hall, as the sleeping quarters of emperors throughout the ages, was built in a magnificent and luxurious manner. So Eunuch Xia took out some items from the palace's treasury and decorated the palace room, adding many things according to the top scholar's preferences.
Even lubricating ointments and incense for a warmer atmosphere were prepared and stored in a box by the bedside.
He did not consult His Majesty; this action was based on his own assumptions about his master's intentions.
However, Eunuch Xia thought that His Majesty would not blame him.
However, to Eunuch Xia's surprise, His Majesty returned to the palace alone.
Ah, this...
They stormed out of the palace, wasn't it all to bring the top scholar back?
How come...
The emperor's word is law. Although Jun Chenbi didn't say it, Eunuch Xia knew his master very well, and he rarely changed his mind once he made up his mind.
Now, His Majesty has returned to the palace alone. Of course, he is also secretly protected by the royal guards, so it cannot be said that he is entirely alone. However, since the top scholar is not by His Majesty's side, it is clear that His Majesty did not use any coercive means.
for example--
They brought the person back and locked them inside the Dragon Palace.
It seems that the top scholar is the "rare" one who made His Majesty make an exception and change his mind.
Although his meticulous arrangements inside the hall were useless tonight, Eunuch Xia did not feel it was a pity.
After all, there's plenty of time in the future.
Just as Xia Gonggong was thinking, the emperor instructed him to carefully put something away.
—If those things weren't two rather plain sugar figurines, His Majesty's solemn tone would have made Eunuch Xia think they were rare treasures like the He Shi Bi jade.
…
The next day.
Qin Ge, who had missed the morning court session for many days, stood among the majority of elderly officials in a scarlet official robe. He was tall and straight like a bamboo, with a refined and elegant demeanor.
Jun Chenbi sat on the dragon throne on the imperial steps, his phoenix eyes fixed on Qin Ge.
The gaze was too bright.
There wasn't even the slightest hint of embarrassment.
This made Qin Ge unable to resist secretly glaring back at him—
[Have a good meeting.]
Indeed, in Qin Ge's eyes, this morning court session was just like a modern company meeting: problems were raised, discussed by several parties, and finally decided by the person on the dragon throne.
The tyrant's gaze was staring at him blatantly from above, right there in the morning court session where all the civil and military officials were gathered. Qin Ge felt as if he were exchanging glances with Jun Chenbi in broad daylight, in front of everyone, having a secret affair in broad daylight.
He muttered "Damn" to himself.
You can only glare at him secretly.
The emperor, who had been secretly glared at, did not feel that the boy's actions were treasonous, nor did he feel any resentment or questioning. Instead, he smiled slowly.
A smile bloomed on her beautifully colored thin lips, captivating everyone in an instant.
For a moment, the entire Golden Palace fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
After all, their young monarch was never a good-natured king. He always had a gloomy face when attending the morning court, and his moods were unpredictable.
Those of them, as his subjects, had long been accustomed to His Majesty's cold demeanor.
He suddenly burst out laughing...
It's really terrifying, okay?!
After all, the last time His Majesty laughed like that, he ransacked the home of a certain official, and blood and screams stained the entire prison!
