Chapter 038

Shi Qing rushed into the Imperial Study furiously, shocking the princes sitting there with his flustered and snow-covered appearance.

The little master was used to being spoiled. They had never seen even a drop of rain land on him since they’d met him.

Everyday, the ministers who arrived at the gate of the palace had to leave their sedan chairs and walk in on their own two feet. Even the princes couldn’t use a sedan chair in the palace.

And while the members of the harem could, the inner palace was completely segregated from the rest. If they wanted to come out, they too had to walk in accordance with the rules.

In the palace proper, apart from their father who sat on the throne, only Shi Qing could remain in his sedan chair.

The pampered little master did not fail to take advantage of the favour that even the princes were not shown. Since the Emperor permitted him to stay in the sedan chair, he always rode all the way to Imperial Study. He then had someone carry him up its steps.

Naturally, he was a proud being. Since the events that unfolded after the new year, Little Master Shi had become even more true to his nature. At the end of the day, the soles of those blue cloud boots embroidered with gold thread were still flawlessly white. It was clear that his feet had hardly ever touched the ground.

But now, unmelted snowflakes filled the delicate little master’s inky hair and covered his red cape. Even his usually white shoes had water stains on them from treading through the snow.

“Shi Qing? Why didn’t you have the eunuchs carry you in?”

The princes all stood up, intending to share false pleasantries. The eldest prince was the one who spoke first. He smiled and warmly reached his hand to help brush off the snowy cloak.

But Shi Qing dodged his hand. His round eyes were full of dissatisfaction: “Big brother, what are you trying to do?!”

First Prince: “?”

First Prince: “What did I do?”

Shi Qing’s fur was standing on end: “If you don’t like me, just say it to my face. Why must you humiliate me like this?!”

“Humiliate? I… How did I humiliate you?”

The first prince, who was suddenly carrying a big black pot on his back, was stunned.

Who here didn’t know Shi Qing’s status?

He wasn’t dumb nor insane, so why would he bully Shi Qing?

“You still have the face to say you didn’t?!”

The little master became even more incensed. He turned around and pitter-pattered over to the door. He pulled Yu Chennian, who was standing outside due to being wet from the snow, into the room and pitter-pattered back.

“Who doesn’t know that I want him to carry me out of the sedan chair these days? How is he supposed to carry me when you let him stand in the snow for so long that he got wet!”

First Prince: “……”

He was just bullying Yu Chennian. But how did Shi Qing misconstrue his actions to this point?

Even if there were ten thousand grassy mud horses stampeding across his heart, he knew that he couldn’t afford to antagonize Shi Qing. He forced himself to calm down and swallowed back his anger.

With a smile on his face, he went to pull at Shi Qing’s arm in a friendly manner: “Shi Qing, I really didn’t mean anything by this. It’s just that Ninth Brother has been slacking on his coursework these days. As his elder brother, I naturally expect better from him, which is why I punished him. If Ninth Brother can’t carry you, how about I ask the eunuchs to do so instead?”
