X. This Beau Remembers His Majesty's Uneaten Breakfast
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Right 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

"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

"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.

Ten days have already passed since the night of the banquet but still, the Yin siblings haven't heard anything from their teachers yet.The door of the Lotus Hall slides open. The princess general made her way across the hall towards the round table where Emperor Yin Renshu is bored to death."I just received the reply from Wan MoliHua Palace." Princess Yin Xiulan said the moment she sits on the chair intended for her. Her left hand holds a folded paper.Three days ago, Yin Wenyan, Yin Xiulan, and Yin Renshu sent a pigeon carrying a message intended to the Wan MoliHua Palace sect leader, Zhao Yangguang. Ever since they left the imperial palace, the three of them aren't sure of their whereabouts.Yin Renshu asks, "Have you read it? Was it from shizun himself?""This response is from Elder Ling Chyou. She said shizun and Wang-shifu haven't returned since they came for us." She handed the letter to his brother. Yin Renshu unfolds the paper and reads t

"Nonsense? What's nonsense about it?" Emperor Yin Renshu complains as soon as they entered the Lotus Hall."Strange. Isn't she worried that the epidemic gets spread inside the imperial palace walls?" Princess Yin Xiulan also retorted."Don't be stressed over it, Grand Empress Dowager. I don't think our plans will be spoiled by this." Yin Renshu and Yin Xiulan look in the direction where the voice came from. Prince Yin Wenyan just came inside through the big circular window.He continued, "That's what the empress dowager said to our beloved grandmother,"Yin Renshu can't help but raise his eyebrows, "Do you really see her as our grandmother?" Yin Wenyan on the other hand just shrugs as a response."Plans? What sort of plans?" Yin Xiulan asks."That... I can't say just yet." Yin Wenyan answers, "We must not jump directly to conclusions but don't disregard the possibilities.""There must be something they're plotting without our knowledg

Multiple kinds of women's perfume are all over the place to the point it's irritating to the nose. The slow music that the guqin makes sounded but the giggling and soft voices belonging to ladies dominated.A voice of a lady sounded near Xu Zhengming's ear. The whisper sounds sweet and seductive, "Lao Xu, it's been a while since you visited us here. We missed you so much." She caresses his cheek and it tickles him.With a wide grin, he looks at her and asks, "Did you miss me, jiejie?"Xu Zhengming is currently sitting at a table good for two and drinking wine. Three women are surrounding him. They're all have slender bodies, fair-skinned, and wearing smiles on their lips. These ladies are wearing thin clothes and exposing too much skin. Their faces have a strong smell of rogue.The lady answered, "Of course, you're one of our regular customers after all."The lady on his left side asks, "Lao Xu, you've got a companion this time.

The night has finally come and the moon shines so bright and is accompanied by the twinkling stars. The gentle moonlight serves as the only illumination for Prince Yin Wenyan, who is getting ready to go wherever destiny brings him on his journey in finding the spirit herb. "Do you really have to do this?" Princess Yin Xiulan asks with a hint of worry in her voice. Without looking back at her, he answers while putting a black leather cloak on himself. "I don't want to sit still and do nothing while my dear friend is dying." Yin Xiulan closes her eyes and breathes deeply before opening her eyes again. "Wenyan, I'm sorry but I think you're being too emotional. Did you even consider the possible risks? You don't have to feel sympathy for him." She added, "To die for their master is their highest honor they can attain." "It's a warrior's line. 'To die for their leader is their greatest honor,'" Prince Wenyan finally turns around to face his sister. He's st

Today is the 3rd day of June, Yin Wenyan's birthday. Although he's been awake for a couple of hours now, he's still not done preparing the food. It is because he's been extra careful not to create unnecessary sounds that may awaken the still asleep birthday celebrant. After Yin Wenyan came to see Xu Zhengming in his bookstore, the former emperor declared something bold. He stated that since this beau pulled him back to life from Death's grip, the oh-so-great Xu-xiansheng should take responsibility. In other words, Yin Wenyan just wanted to live the rest of his life with him. Just like his brother, Yin Renshu, Yin Wenyan refused to go back to the imperial palace. According to him, he had enough of the heavy responsibilities and political matters. Well, after everything he's been through, he deserve
My Full-time Servant/Lover Epilogue
It's a rare sight to see Empress Yin Xiulan having a bouquet of freshly picked flowers in her left hand. And as usual, her right hand holds her fan. As bright as the sun shining up in the sky, her face doesn't have a hint of grumpiness. In fact, she isn't wearing a fierce face today. Instead, she's making an unusual happy face. Like any other traveler that finally comes home after a long journey.She's alone, walking in the deepest part of the woods. Although the weather is fair, the area is kind of dark due to huge trees that are blocking the sun rays.When she arrived at her destination, her majesty the empress crouched down in front of a small mound. It's the late Lieutenant General Liu's grave.She puts the flowers on top of it and speaks like someone really is listening to her. "It's been three years, Liu Chen. I wonder if you got into the wheel of reincarnation already." The wind blows gently, making the locks of her hair wave in the air for a short while.

After Zhao Yangguang explained what will happen to them, they immediately fled back to the imperial palace. The sect leader also emphasizes that Emperor Yin Wenyan's soul might be a little strange than he is when he's still alive. Some of these possibilities are losing his eyesight, being unable to talk, slowed comprehension, and the possibility that he still does not realize that he's already dead. Nevertheless, they must convince his soul to store itself into the soul trapping pouch that the sect leader gave them, and bring him back to Wan Moli Hua Palace. "Hana." Sect Elder Wang stands beside the sect leader. Zhao Yangguang is busy passing spiritual energy to Yin Wenyan's body. "You're doing that for a while now. Let me take over for at least a few hours." The sect leader just gives him his signature smile, giving him assurance that he's doing just fine. "I can handle this for a little longer. I'll just call for your help when I feel exhausted, is

The entire imperial palace is consumed by fire. A lot of people turned into ashes and there are still some that have yet to get burned. Sooner or later, everyone will get the brunt. And that doesn't exclude the current empress. The fire also reached Empress Dowager's Hall. Smoke is starting to fill the area within the four corners of the hall so it's already dangerous for the living. Inhaling too much smoke can kill after all. "Didi..." Empress Xue Chi strokes her little brother's hair for the last time. He's still unconscious and doesn't have a clue about what's going on. Even though her highness knows that her words wouldn't reach his brother, she still speaks to him. "Whatever happens, don't give up your life, okay? I know it would be tough for you but I know you can make it through. Live freely, don't let anyone control you, alright?" She smiles weakly. What a shame, she won't witness how will her brother grow into a fine man. She pulls hi

The cold blow of the wind sends chills to everyone's spine. The snow is falling down, an indication that the winter season has officially started. It almost seems that the weather just waited for his majesty's last breath before it decided to make the people feel its extreme cold. Although it's getting chilly, it doesn't bother Xu Zhenging at all. He's still staring at Emperor Yin Wenyan's empty container that's starting to lose its remaining warmth. The usual gentle face of his majesty remained even until the end of his last moments. In fact, he just looks like he's just sleeping soundly. However, Xu Zhengming refuses to give in and is still holding on to the little bit of hope he has. He leads his head on his majesty's heavily wounded chest, hoping for at least a weak heartbeat. He listens attentively, waited for a little while but he heard nothing. He's really gone... Leaving his regrets and unfulfilled dreams behind. Of all times, why does he have

The connection between Emperor Yin Wenyan and his sword weakens due to the failure of passing enough spiritual energy. Through the incantation that the emperor cast, his blade was occupying the deceased eunuch while he's dealing with the empress dowager. Now that the connection is slowly dying, his holy weapon falls onto the roof tiles. Anyone who'll come and see it will say that it only looks like a common sword now that it doesn't possess the majestic aura. "Your majesty...?" Xu Zhengming could only whisper in the thin air. Even though the surroundings are quite dark, the gentle moonlight that is reflected on his majesty's face enables him to recognize him. But as far as he knows, his majesty the emperor is right in front of him. He even talked to him just now. "Who's that..." The silly beau is too confused that he doesn't even know what exactly he has to ask. Although he doesn't know what's happening anymore, he felt his heart is getting unsettled.

While the vicious eunuch, empress dowager, and his majesty the emperor is matched in a death battle on the roof, underneath it has a different scene going on. Princes Yin Xiulan hurried to Yin Renshu and Xu Zhengming's side. She completely forgot her brother that is fighting to the death with the empress dowager. She even forgot her main reason for going to the empress dowager's hall: to find a way to dispel the activated array. "He's about to go berserk again!" At first glance, Princess Yin Xiulan knows it. She witnessed this before and there's no doubt about it. "What should we do? We don't have Yueguang Hua with us." Since this they didn't encounter such poison before... a poison that could turn the victims into monsters, they didn't know many ways to treat it. The spirit herb, Yueguang Hua, the cure for all medicinal plants, is the only thing that they know that could cure Xu Zhengming. Unfortunately, this flower only grows in the wild. In a place that th

Everyone is having a rough time due to this chaos that has risen. Emperor Yin Wenyan didn't have it easy as well. He can barely keep up with Eunuch Ye. Dealing with this monster for an hour or two will do but he's afraid he can't keep up for the third hour. If this continues, he will eventually get exhausted. The deceased eunuch sensed the order of the empress dowager. As her mere pawn, the creature suddenly backed off from the emperor and immediately headed out of the Union Hall. Emperor Yin Wenyan didn't see this coming. He didn't know why Eunuch Ye suddenly runs out of the hall at full speed. Of course, his majesty won't let him go just like that. He chased after him, hoping on the roof from eves to eves. He followed him closely until they reached the Empress Dowager's Hall where his sister and the empress dowager are in combat. Without any forewarnings, Eunuch Ye grabs the empress dowager on the waist and took her with him away from her opponent.
My Full-time Servant/Lover LXX: This Beau, And Everyone Else Is In Danger
Even though it's in the middle of a chilly night, droplets of sweat are forming on the Empress Dowagers' forehead. She's hiding in a dark corner while she's concentrating the flow of her spiritual energy in her body. There's one more thing that she needs to do before this night ends. The empress dowager is trying to recreate one of the most dangerous weapons that her clan made: the Crimson Javelin. The weapon does not look too different from a normal javelin, except that it has the same color as blood, and it's very deadly. Once injured with this weapon, the victim tends to die in a short time. A poison will quickly circulate in the victim's body and when it reaches the heart, it will immediately turn the organ into an iron (literally), making it an agonizing death due to lack of oxygen. There's no remedy made for it. The javelin doesn't look special in terms of its physical form at all. In fact, it's just a long shaft with a sharp-pointed end. The main diffe
