"Don't blame me for being harsh, boy," he said. "You have repaid my kindness poorly. As a final tribute to my friendship with your father, I won't directly order your death. If you survive this ordeal, then the heavens have taken pity on you, and you may work in the stables after." He nudged Yan Zheyun's head with his foot. "But you will henceforth be banned from entering the main compound. And if I so much as hear that you've been seen in the vicinity of any of my sons, I will not be this forgiving a second time around. Have I made myself clear?"

In his anger, Wu Shengqi wasn't even bothering with the pretence anymore. If the real Yan Yun were still alive, he would probably have been very shocked and hurt by this revelation. The magnanimous uncle who had chosen to save him after he'd lost his family was actually a petty, two-faced bastard.

Oh, discounting the emperor, of course, bless his old soul. Lixin hadn't mentioned the emperor much, but Yan Zheyun had heard some talk by the servants about how the Wu Family had been dismayed to learn that the emperor hadn't chosen to promote Wu Bin, despite his outstanding brilliance. And that Wu Bin had raged about this to his father in his study, complaining that the emperor's wariness of the political might of the 6 noble clans had caused him to become blind to talent.

Yan Zheyun looked down at his fingers in his lap. He was kneeling behind the prince, legs numb with pins and needles. But even the slightest fidgeting would bring him under harsh scrutiny and he wanted to avoid that at all costs.

It was a young boy, from his build, missing the attractive curves of the women in front of him. Dressed in a simple white tunic, his hair was pulled up into the half-topknot style preferred by scholars. This lent him an air of composed elegance, and Liu Wei found his gaze drawn irresistibly towards him. The boy had his head lowered in deference, so Liu Wei couldn't see his face. But the skin of his neck and hands was pure like the snow. The slender fingers wrapped around the tray handles were delicate like they should be plucking at guqin strings instead of serving food.

Yan Zheyun rose to his feet woodenly. Before he'd tried to stop Xiqing, he'd already suspected that this would be the outcome. But he hadn't been able to refrain from interfering. His hands trembled and he pressed them against his sides to hide his fear.

But he was also helpless to fight it. Yan Zheyun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists before joining Xiqing in kowtowing.

…Yan Zheyun had never felt so cheated in his life. He'd always wondered why the mid-autumn festival, typically celebrated in September, had been called mid-autumn instead of 'start of autumn'. Well, now he knew.

He never acknowledged Yan Zheyun's thanks, but the salve would be there again the next night.

"Whose household do you belong to?" the man asked at last. His low, measured voice carried the natural confidence of someone who was accustomed to being listened to. But he looked young, perhaps around the same age that Yan Zheyun had been in his previous life.
