The first thing Zichen did after he woke up was starting to pray, praying, no begging whatever cruel god that had put him into this twisted world to take him out of it, in all of Zichen's years he had never managed to share a bed with anyone and now here he was sleeping next to a man. Just what bad that emperor bastard done to him last night?
Well his behind didn't feel too loose and his clothes were still on so nothing bad must have happened, he let out a sigh of relief, it seemed like god hadn't completely forsaken him yet. He debated just staying in bed pretending to be asleep or to get up and leave…..knowing the emperor dog from the book if he woke up and Zichen was still there the emperor would definitely punish him, so Zichen quietly decided to take off. He got off the bed quietly, couldn't risk waking up mr mad emperor.
Outside the weather was bright, it was a cheerful sunny day, and the servants were all rushing to decorate the place, huh? That was unusual, as far as Zichen knew today was just another day, nothing special, then again this was a weird world he has reincarnated well technically transmigrated into who knew if they had special festivals he didn't have back in his life, he hadn't really read the original novel that carefully so naturally he didn't recall a lot of the details, he remembered some key events but minor things didn't stick.
"Is something going on today?" Zichen asked a maid who passed him, the maid paused for a moment as if debating weather answering the emperor's most unfavored wife was even worth her time, but then sighed as if thinking 'favoured or not he is still a consort and I am just a maid' she opened her mouth to reply "The second prince is returning today" she said. The second prince? Zinchen tried to remember such a character from the book, he didn't remember there being any other royal children in the Novel or maybe it was because he has skipped past so many chapters to know what happened in the end. Yeah he was a lousy guy who did that sort of thing, maybe being transmigrated into a shitty romance novel was devine punishment for skipping chapters to know what happens in the end. Well anyway, Zichen knew he had to find out more about this second prince.
"Second prince?" Zichen asked the maid. The maid looked at him as if he were a dog who has started speaking the human language while standing on two feet and juggling watermelons. "The second prince Lan Yuze" The maid said "Today he returns from Highwater mountain, he went there to study cultivation with the Dan clan" she added she then scurried away without any proper greeting, not that Zichen minded, another fact bad been revealed, this world had a thing called cultivation, Zichen didn't even remember such a thing existing in the novel, if there was cultivation that meant there were demons, ghosts, evil spirits, if there were such things that meant Zichen should jump into a lake right now turn into a revengeful spirit and haunt the entire royal palace..of course that was only a joke. A joke of course. But seriously cultivation, demons and a new character what a headache, hopefully this second prince wasn't as terrible as the emperor.
Speaking of emperor has that bastard died in there? He hadn't even woken up yet, the Haoran in the novel was a military man, a man of schedule, a man who was extremely disciplined in every way, Haoran could be considered a perfect gentleman, it was only his personality that was terrible, his face wasn't bad, and he was rich. Whatever Zichen didn't have time to think such things, he had bigger problems, like right now his stomach was growling, he was so hungry he could eat five whole Haorans. It was time for a trip to the kitchens
