Half-eaten pastries were scattered casually on the plate, and the clear tea next to it was steaming. Wang Dian grabbed a handful of white pieces, letting the excess chess pieces slip through his fingers. The person sitting across from him, Liang Ye, had almost the same action of grabbing the chess pieces. They looked at…

Liang Ye seemed to find his expression quite interesting and boasted, “Everyone has tried their best to get into Zhen’s bed, all obediently so.” Wang Dian tugged at the corner of his mouth, reaching out to caress Liang Ye’s face, half-smiling, half-serious, “Have you touched them?” At these words, Liang Ye wrinkled his brow in…

Liang Ye’s gaze noticeably deepened under the candlelight, “Come here.” Wang Dian walked over without changing his expression, feigning ignorance, “Why are you here?” Liang Ye didn’t speak, he just lowered his head and unwrapped the bandage on Wang Dian’s hand. Seeing the wound that had been treated with medicine and soaked with blood, the…

Wang Dian felt a long-lost sense of relaxation the day he left the palace. He had chosen the house himself, and he didn’t hold back with Liang Ye. He worked hard and chose a large house with a good view, adjacent to the business center. It had to be surrounded by top-notch medical halls and…

“That Wang Dian’s martial arts skills are formidable, this lowly servant didn’t dare to get too close,” Jian Ling half-kneeled on the ground, “But Liang Ye’s actions with him were intimate, not like the usual monarch and minister, but rather like…” He frowned, a trace of disgust flashing across his face. “Like what?” Cui Yuxian…

When Liang Ye truly smiled, he looked very handsome, like the last snowflake falling in winter, making one feel quiet yet crisp. Wang Dian lowered his eyes, his gaze drifting aimlessly for two seconds, but ultimately landing back on Liang Ye’s face. Though that smile was fleeting, he felt a tinge of regret. Liang Ye…

However, Liang Ye didn’t get a chance to retaliate. The sky, not yet bright, was illuminated by a towering fire. Panicked shouts came from afar, and the urgent sound of the alarm bell echoed throughout the entire palace. The fire spread rapidly. When Wang Dian descended from the imperial carriage, his face was smeared with…

Since childhood, Wang Dian loved to pick up odd and interesting trinkets to bring home. His favorite was stones, especially pebbles that were not too big or too small, round and smooth. Even though the stone that Liang Ye gave him hit all his preferences from all aspects– ever since his father accidentally threw away…

Wen Zong put down the black piece in his hand, “Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind?” Wang Dian smiled, “The Imperial Preceptor has sharp eyes, nothing can escape your sight.” “Your Majesty works day and night for the affairs of the state, excessive worry may harm your health.” Wen Zong said calmly….

Wang Dian wanted to return to the study to carefully examine this defense map, but Liang Ye wanted to return to the sleeping quarters to carefully examine him. Wang Dian doubted his own ears and asked Liang Ye uncertainly, “What did you just say?” “Zhen thought you might have been too hasty before, not experiencing…

Chong Heng, holding his sword, squatted on the wall. There was a locust tree here that provided shade, and it just so happened to have a view of the main gate of Shoukang Palace. He counted the seventh palace maid who had brought back new fabric. It looked like the kind of fabric that Tan…

Liang Ye wiped his face, his gaze seemed to carry little knives, only this time there were no hooks, all was displeasure. Wang Dian lowered his voice and said, “This is the Imperial Study, can’t you think of something serious?” Liang Ye wiped his face, “Zhen wants to do it here, on the table.” Very…

Regardless of how furious the person in Xingqing Palace was when they found out that the flower they had carefully cultivated was completely plucked, the scene in the Imperial Study was quite peaceful. Liang Ye sat calmly behind the desk, watching Wang Dian skillfully assign tasks to Yu Ying and Yun Fu. Yun Fu and…

Wang Dian, with his sleeves rolled up, stood at the bottom of the stairs. The reflection in his eyes was of Liang Ye, who was looking down with a smile. Behind him was the bustling and lively scene of the capital. “There will be such a day,” he said softly, but he knew that Liang…

Wang Dian knew very little about Liang Ye’s past. The most he knew was that before the age of eight, Liang Ye was not particularly favored. He lived with Bian Yunxin in the harem, and no one paid much attention to this mother and son. When the late Emperor Liang Hua passed away, and most…

Upon reaching the entrance of the tavern, Wang Dian, with his hands leisurely tucked into his sleeves, watched as Liang Ye and Yang Wujiu entered. Yang Wujiu turned back, puzzled, “Brother Wang, why aren’t you coming in?” “I won’t go in.” Wang Dian, with a smile on his face, looked at Liang Ye, “There are…
