VI. This Beau and His Majesty's Double
Loneliness and sighs
Is this the wisdom's price?
Like a bird in a cage
Shouldn't I be on stage?
I felt being held back
I can only blame my bad luck
Under this willow tree
Only here I am free.
Yin Wenyan's lips form a slight smile after rereading the poem for who knows how many times already. He himself has lost count on it.
This is the first poem that he got to record in a book. This poem was composed by the sixteen-year-old Xu Zhengming when he was still studying in the imperial academy.
At that time, the long-lost royal siblings just got returned to the imperial palace. As early as then, Yin Wenyan already threw away his identity and became his twin brother's double. That's the will of the Grand Empress Dowager and they cannot possibly contradict it. They simply don't have the power yet
His life at that time isn't too diffe

"Eunuch Xu." Yin Wenyan knocks on the door thrice. "Are you doing just fine there?" Xu Zhengming gritted his teeth and tried to smile. "Your majesty, I am defecating here. Why are you following me? Do you intend to cheer for me to poop?" "Pfft..." Xu Zhengming heard the suppressed laughter and giggles of the maids outside the toilet. Now, he's torn between being embarrassed and annoyed. The emperor turns to his maids and raised both of his eyebrows. His face asking sincerely, 'should we?' The maids' grins on their faces got even wider. They nodded in unison. The next thing Xu Zhengming heard was a loud chant. "Eunuch Xu, we wish for your success!" Court Lady Han shakes her head and whispered to herself, "Youngsters these days..." Xu Zhengming literally laughed while gritting his teeth. He doesn't know how to react. Why does this emperor with his maids following him here? "You... you didn't eat anything ever since yester

"Every time I see your alluring beauty, I remember the Plum Blossoms in Mount Tai."Xu Zhengming shows his killer smile to the young maid. He also made sure to position his head slightly facing the left side. He believes that it is his best angle; that he looks handsome the most in this angle.The truth is, he already used this line countless times.The young miss blushed and giggles. "You flatter me, Eunuch Xu.""How about me, Eunuch Xu? Do you remember something whenever you see me?" Another maid asks as her big round eyes glimmer."You're enveloped with a lively atmosphere. Whenever you're around, your surroundings brighten. Just like the morning sun that shines above the skies. Warm and full of life." This line as well... he literally lost count of how many times did he use this."Ooooh. Is that true, Eunuch Xu?" The maid beams a smile.Xu Zhengming smiles at her, "Of course."Court Lady Han can't stand it anymore. She scol

In the Pavilion of Literary Glory, not less than a hundred old eunuchs are present and are divided into two sides. The high-ranking eunuchs from the Yin clan and Xue clan.The emperor who's currently sitting on his throne in the middle of the platform looks mighty in his usual gold yellow and black robes. It's Prince Yin Wenyan's turn to act as the emperor.In every conference, Yin Wenyan acts as the emperor. Among the triplets, he was the most rational, collected, and matured after all. Little did everyone know, he's the real tactician behind the countless war victories led by his sister Princess Yin Xiulan.The Grand Empress Dowager vested this position directly to him. Though Prince Yin Wenyan is reasonable, still she decides over certain matters. For example, the incident in the Town Square yesterday.On the other hand, Xu Zhengming and the rest of the emperor's serv
My Full-time Servant/Lover X. This Beau Remembers His Majesty's Uneaten Breakfast
Right after the conference was up, the emperor immediately tasked Court Lady Han and the rest of his maids, together with some of the high-ranking eunuchs to prepare the banquet to be held tonight.The Court Lady, of course, is hesitant at first. To hold a royal banquet needs time and many preparations should be made.First and foremost, the food to serve should be planned very well by the emperor himself or if not, some high-ranking eunuchs and the royal chef and his assistants.The ingredients for the menu should be chosen meticulously from the market and to be inspected as it arrives at the palace gates. Of course, when it arrives at the imperial kitchen, the chef and his assistance will pick the best of the best ingredients.The Hall of Union where the banquet will be held should be decorated as well and the adornment should suit the theme of the event. The colors that will dominate the banquet hall, as well as the musicians and performers that will e

Today is a little cloudy but it doesn't seem to rain any time soon. Though it's not a hot day, Xu Zhengming's sweat is dripping down across his face.It's been almost half an hour since he left the imperial kitchen to get his majesty's food but until now, he's still on the way to the emperor's hall. Or rather, he's still figuring out where exactly is he and in which direction is his place of destination.The food in the tray he's holding has long been cold.Good thing, he saw a maid passing nearby. He quickly headed towards the young lady."Good day, miss. Are you in a hurry?" And the great Xu Zhengming shows off his killer smile again. It seems it became an involuntary reflex whenever he sees a young lady of his age."No. What is it, Mr. Eunuch?" The maid casually asks."Young miss, are you lost?" He winks at her which made the young lady subconsciously take a step backward. She looks at him with a puzzled expression filling all over her fa
My Full-time Servant/Lover XII: This Beau Sneaks Out With The Emperor
Like a sack of rice, Emperor Yin Renshu carries his clumsy little eunuch on his shoulder. He leaps from eves to eves quietly. Every step's calculated. Every landing is like a light dip of the dragonfly's legs on the waters. Though it's broad daytime, everyone in the royal imperial palace didn't notice the swift movements of one of the former disciples of Wan MoliHua Palace.Good thing, this continues until they finally got out of the palace walls. Yin Renshu chooses a narrow alley to stop. He landed his feet on the ground before letting Xu Zhengming stand with his own feet."Prepare the writing equipment." Yin Renshu ordered."Yes, your majesty." Xu Zhengming answered as he grabs the writing materials inside the bag he's been carrying."Don't call me that outside the palace." The emperor realized it too late. He didn't tell his eunuch beforehand that he should stop the honorifics now that they're hiding their identity.Xu Zhengming, "Then what shou
My Full-time Servant/Lover XIII: This Beau and His Misadventures
"Did you get him?!" Xu Zhengming asked again, this time in a panicked manner.This time, he didn't get any response from Yin Renshu again. He's just silently staring at the thick layer of dark smoke. His guard is obviously not down yet which made his company feel more anxious.It's not that he doesn't want to speak, it's just he's not a hundred percent sure if he got him. He clearly attached the talismans on the creature but a split second before the explosion, Yin Renshu saw a strange dull red light.The smoke slowly dissipated and the monster disappeared from its post earlier as well. No scattered body parts are on the ground either. His majesty then looks around them to find the dead eunuch but he can't spot it quickly.Out of nowhere, a shadow hopped from above a nearby tree. Like an involuntary reflex, Yin Renshu withdraws his sword and charges into the blurred figure. He sways his sword on the enemy however, the eunuch retreated on time and dodged t
My Full-time Servant/Lover XIV: This Beau And An Old Friend
"Y-Your majesty? Aren't you suppose to stay at the banquet?" He asked, still with a surprised look on his face. He never thought that he'd meet the emperor underneath the willow tree, sitting on its bulging roots, holding a broken stick cut into two."Eunuch Xu, you're here. Why aren't you there at the banquet too?" Yin Wenyan still hasn't recovered from the shock but he managed to conceal it. Xu Zhengming saw a few strokes of characters written on the ground. His majesty must have written something with his stick before he broke it into two.Yin Wenyan saw where Xu Zhengming's eyes were looking and so he quickly stamps his feet on it, erasing the writings and giving him a bashful smile.Xu Zhengming puffed a laugh and sits beside the prince."It's you who said you don't need my assistance anymore, your majesty. You even told me to retreat in the servant's quarters.""Oh." Yin Wenyan finally got the pieces together. "Sorry, that slipped in my mind.
