The first thing that caught Si Ning’s eyes in the courtyard was the flashy golden and orange beautiful palanquin with three palace bearers standing on each side and series of trained palace maidens guards holding different silver boxes and two male guards carrying a large wooden box by holding each handle of the box. Chen An, Su Heng, and Ji Ran stood at their front, with more than a dozen of guards standing at the back. The Prime Minister, Song Ouyang dressed in a red brocade robe with black embroidered lining the tips stood at the center while Song Feng was facing him and seemed to be saying something to him.Si Ning was so weak and he felt so light that he was more worried about the breeze hitting him hard and make him misstep that he wasn’t able to express how shock he was by the grand visit. The visit was suspicious that he stopped and squinted his eyes trying to see inside the palanquin when the breeze blew and made the curtain swayed but he could see there

Si Ning stood in front of the mirror, watching Xiao Pei who was gently inserting different types of thin golden hair clips in his hair, to complete the hair adornment, Xiao Pei carefully inserted the dragon-shaped hairpin through the hole in the head diadem that secured Si Ning’s half ponytail and he made sure to leave some strand flowing loose at the side of Si Ning’s face before taking two golden bangles and secured it on Si Ning’s wrists, on top of his sleeves.It was quite surprising for Si Ning to see the poker face Xiao Pei dressing him up like royalty but Si Ning had no complaints even though he felt like he was wearing too much gold but he knew Xiao Pei must know what he was doing since he worked for Xiu TianZhao and he must have a reason for adding all the golden accessories.Since Si Ning had to go to the palace and he had wasted time eating to his fill, soaking for long in the tub because he was enjoying the flowering scents from the flower

Xiu Zhicheng turned his attention to Si Ning’s hand, feeling how the hand fit into his and he couldn’t resist tracing his Consort to be long slender fingers to the white fingernails that looked extremely taken care of and Xiu Zhicheng thought it was beautiful that he started rubbing it gently.It was clear that Xiu Zhicheng was checking how smooth his palms were, this made Si Ning’s hands starting to get sweaty as Xiu Zhicheng turned his hand over, massaging his fingers gently. He suddenly turned his gaze to Si Ning, making Si Ning pulled back a little because he wasn’t expecting him to turn suddenly to him.Si Ning could see his gaze darken and he concluded Xiu Zhicheng was probably annoyed at how his hands were so smooth which was the opposite of how a General’s hands should be, Si Ning started panicking, his eyes shifting everywhere only for Xiu Zhicheng to pulled him closer forcing Si Ning to look at him straight in the eyes and Si Nin

Just as Si Ning expected, Xiu Junjie got closer and wanted to kick Si Ning, targeting his knee only for Jiang Ye to jump in front of him, protecting his Master from the wild child but Xiu Junjie was unable to stop and his foot collided with Jiang Ye’s leg."You!" Xiu Junjie yelled as he recoiled holding his foot and rubbing his ankle to relieve the pain since he hit Jiang Ye’s hard boot."Crown Prince are you okay?" Jiang Ye asked, concerned about the boy who was rubbing his ankle yet he kept his distance since Xiu Junjie was busy cursing under his breath and he doesn’t want to get into trouble because of the Crown Prince who was famous for being foulmouthed.Jiang Ye jumped out of instinct and didn’t even consider the damage if Xiu Junjie hit him instead. He quickly moved closed to Xiu Junjie and stretched his hand, it was the least he could do to avoid Xiu Junjie having a mark on him but just as he expected, Xiu Junjie slapped his hand

I understand I understand, I understand...The words kept ringing on Si Ning’s head as he tried to find the real meaning behind Xiu Zhicheng’s words.It was so frustrating that he wasn’t aware of his surroundings and kicked a stone almost making him lose his footing that he had to quickly hold the rail. Because he was already irritated made him frowned and picked the stone without a second thought, he threw it far into the stream below the bridge he was standing on."Ouch..." He felt a sharp pain on his forehead, which was caused by him frowning and forgetting to rest his face to relieve the throbbing from the impact of the effect of Xiu Junjie that flicked his forehead many times over.Si Ning was the one that suggested the game but he never imagined that he would not be able to answer most questions correctly, the questions asked by an eight-year-old boy. He had gone through most history books, already learn
