  HHYL Fanfic2 chapter 1



Swaying lotus danced along with the spring's breeze. The surrounding trees sang their happy song in a rustle. The ripple on the pond smiled at the white clouds floating about in the blue sky, patrolling and guarding the lovely Goddess of spring who was spreading the sprinkle of pretty colors to all the still sleeping flowers. The whole world was so bright and dazzling. Finding its way to the luxurious pavilion, the light soon threw itself on a very fabulously handsome man.

Narrowing his pair of sparkling eyes, reflecting the spring sunshine, Lu Cang lifted his head from the book he was reading. Inhaling deeply to feel the warm and fragrant air. His face was the reflection of the lake, calm and relaxed, yet elegantly charming. His appearance seemed to have increased as he matured. Not beautiful, but extraordinarily good looking. Striking whosever eyes that caught a glimpse of him. Unfortunately, his attractive persona was only to behold, not to lay a hand on, as he was the Emperor's most precious lover. --- Even the maids and servants had been given strict orders to keep their distance, no closer than two Zhang. Only Xiao Guizi was allowed to wait on him.

Spending his time reading in the Lotus Garden had become his habit since he moved to the Royal Quarter. Jing would join him for a short while during his break after the morning court before he had to go back to reading and signing his piling like a mountain official documents. Sometimes Lu Cang would accompany him if he was not going to the Military base. --- Given his devil-may-care attitude, who would have guessed that Jing actually carried such huge responsibilities on his shoulder? Initially, Lu Cang definitely had no idea since Jing had always seemed so carefree and playful.

Lu Cang actually pitied him for shouldering those monstrous responsibilities, but thinking back....... Why should Lu Cang sympathize with that freak? With that heavy load of work, Jing should have worn himself out. But no.... Jing was not someone who seemed to know the meaning of 'limit'.

As Lu Cang had feared, every single night, Jing would 'spare' his time to love and play with his body dearly. If not for Lu Cang's threat to move out, he would continue as he pleased until sunrise. Damn that maniac!!

Jing must be busy again. Every year, around Spring, there would be many petitions from all Provinces in the Datong Empire. Jing needed to select the right official to be sent as the Capital's representative to please the provincial government.

Lu Cang chuckled as he remembered the face of Zhang Zi Dong when Jing sent him to Anhui, to be the Capital's representative in their Spring's Festival. Zhang Zi Dong's pretty face was drained of its color and showed an obvious fright. Everybody knew that the Eastern Region was quite dangerous for any important figures at the moment since Datong's Eastern Expedition started, especially after the Emperor had personally set out and eradicated a certain country.--- Nobody was allowed to speak the country's name aloud after that.

Looks like Jing still held a deep grudge for this Zhang Zi Dong, blamed him as the source of their previous grand conflict.

Speaking of the 'outside the Capital duty', Lu Cang's friend from the court, Sir Liu Zhong Tang would be back around this time. This year, and last year as well, he was posted in Hangzhou during the winter. As the Judicial Minister, Sir Liu surely was not a prejudice person. He never looked down on Lu Cang despite knowing he was the Emperor's male lover. Lu Cang often went to the Dali Si judicial office to visit him, and since Lu Cang had moved from his Marquis' residence, Sir Liu of course needed Jing's permission to enter the Royal Palace for a none official meeting. Like hell Jing would permit it.
