I will come back to uni on the 14th of August. Since I’m feeling inspired, I’ll just do as many chapters as I can! Tomorrow I must wake up early and still have stuff to do, so I’ll just upload what I did today. (It’s 9PM for me!) Thank you for your comments

When everything was ready, Yinzhen asked them to retreat, and then looked down at the sleeping person. Because Yinyou was drunk, his cheeks were flushed and he looked a little bit cute, reminding Yinzhen of the child he once was, the one who used to hang on his clothes, acting all spoiled.

Touching the hem of Yinyou’s underwear jacket, he paused for a moment, then took it off without hesitation, dragged his trousers down, and bent over to carry him into the tub. Although he really wanted to do the thing that he had thought about countless times in his mind, looking at the sleeping person, he just washed his whole body in a regular manner.

Shoulders, back, waist and abdomen; he hesitated when going down as he didn’t know if any further movement would turn the restrain in his heart into smoke, and then do something that he regretted.

The hand finally bypassed that place, slid to the thigh with a firm touch and scrubbed; but after washing, the back of his hand inadvertently touched something. Yinyou let out a light hum, and Yinzhen’s whole body stiffened from the sound. The thing seemed to move, and immediately, the back of his hand felt hot.

Yinzhen withdrew his hand violently, carried the person out of the bathtub, quickly wiped Yinyou’s whole body dry, put him back on the bed, and hurried out of the room.

Only then did he feel that he could breathe normally. The warm vapor in the room made him dare not go back to the room for the time being, so he just called the servants to tidy up the room, and went to the side wing to take a bath by himself.

Yinyou, who was lying on Yinzhen’s bed, unconsciously rubbed against the bed sheet at this time, his face became more and more red, and he tossed for a long time before he could calm down again.

After bathing and changing into clean clothes, Yinzhen left the wing room.

Seeing Xiao Luzi guarding the outside of the main room, he asked, “Have you given the hangover soup to the seventh brother?”

“Master, the slave saw that the seventh brother was asleep, so this servant didn’t let anyone disturb him. But the hangover soup is ready.” Xiao Luzi knew that his Master had always loved this younger brother, so he didn’t dare to be careless.

“Forget it, let him sleep. You ask the kitchen to prepare stomach-nourishing soup, and let little seventh drink it when he wakes up,” Yinzhen said while walking towards the wing room.

He took two steps, and turned around again. “Go to the study and ask someone to wait outside the main room. If the seventh brother wakes up, send someone to call your Master.”

“Aye.” His Master even thought about this scenario? He was really particular.

 

Yinyou woke up in a daze. When he felt a cold sensation on his lower body, he suddenly sat up awake and his face distorted into various shapes. Did he actually have nocturnal emissions?! That alone was mortifying, but he was still at the fourth brother’s house! This… How could he be so shameless! In an instant, he used the quilt to become a shrimp, and threw himself to the bed with a look of wanting to die.

Lying on the bed weakly, his old face was redder than when he was drunk.

When Yinzhen heard the servant in the mansion say that the seventh brother was awake, he walked back to the room, but saw that the person who was awake was still lying on the bed.

He walked to the bed and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

The lump on the bed moved and the corners of Yinyou’s mouth twitched, but Yinzhen didn’t hear him clearly, so he reached out and patted the bulging hill, “What are you talking about?”

“I want to change my pants,” Yinyou said quickly and anxiously, his voice turning into a shrill.

Yinzhen was slightly stunned, and then bent his mouth, “Why, are you not used to wearing the clothes in my house?”

Yinyou looked at Yinzhen with a numb expression, and roared messily in his heart, do you even want Lao Tzu to say this?! How can Lao Tzu expose himself?

Seeing that Yinyou’s expression was not right, the smile on Yinzhen’s face gradually dissipated, and hesitantly but seriously asked, “You… peed in bed?”

“Crack!” The servant girls and male servants guarding the outside heard the sound of bowls breaking from inside the room.

Xiao Luzi twitched the corners of his mouth. Did the seventh Lord smash the bowl of lotus leaf porridge? 

Seventh Lord, that bowl was selected especially because it’s your favorite color, and it is worth several hundred taels of silver!

 

Yinyou, who had successfully changed his trousers, watched the maid come to tidy up the bed, his complexion changed again and again, and the teacup in his hand clanged.

Xiao Luzi came in with two bowls of blood swallow porridge, and seeing the seventh brother’s complexion was unwell, he knew that the seventh brother was embarrassed, so he approached him with a smile, “Seventh Master, this is what the Master specially ordered to cook in the kitchen. Would you like to try the Swallow’s nest2血燕 Swallow’s Nest. Wikipedia: “They are particularly prized in Chinese culture due to their rarity, high protein content and rich flavor. Edible bird’s nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans,[1] with nests being sold at prices up to about $3,000 per pound ($6,600/kg), depending on grading”  porridge?” 

The seventh Master was not very old and he was already embarrassed when encountering such a thing at his elder brother’s place. Xiao Luzi  wondered what had his Master said that made the seventh Master so angry he smashed the bowl of lotus leaves porridge.

Seeing the ambiguous smile on Xiao Luzi’s face, Yinyou knew that Xiao Luzi knew about it too. Thinking of the boy and maid who cleaned the bed just now, his complexion changed again, and he said with a hard voice, “Serve it. You go down.”

Xiao Luzi put down the tray with a smile, put the porridge in front of Yinyou, and then served his Master’s portion. He took a look at Yinzhen’s face, and then backed out.

Looking at the tolerant smile on Yinzhen’s face, Yinyou felt that it was not right for him to take his anger out on Yinzhen for no reason. After all, he was already several dozen years old, but he still fought a young man who was less than twenty years old. He was really unreasonable.

After controlling his mood, he said awkwardly, “This porridge tastes pretty good.”

Yinzhen knew Yinyou’s temperament. Even if he becomes angry from embarrassment, he will quickly figure out right from wrong. This temperament made him love and hate at the same time, while feeling that the person he liked was sensible, at the same time, he felt a little pity for Yinyou’s awkward side, and found it hard to see. As an older brother, he was always conflicted psychologically. As an elder brother who was in love with his younger brother, this feeling was even more contradictory.

The feeling of the back of his hand brushing Yinyou while bathing him suddenly flashed in his mind. Yinzhen’s hand holding the silver spoon tightened, and he quickly buried his head in a sip of porridge to hide the unbearable thoughts in his heart, “If you like it, you come to the house later. I’ll let the cook do it for you, and after your mansion is built, it’s fine to send the cook who made the Swallow Nest porridge to your house.”

“That can’t be done. It costs a lot of money to make a bowl of Swallow Nest porridge. I’ll just come to the fourth brother’s place if I want to eat it.” Yinyou buried his head in another mouthful, and after swallowing, he smiled proudly, “Fortunately, Huang Ama knows that I like to run to your house. Fourth brother, your house is so close to mine, it’s  really cheap for me.”

Yinzhen smiled wryly, this time back in the capital, Huang Ama treated the seventh brother a lot better and while he was happy for him, whenever he thought of the woman who will live in Yinyou’s mansion in the near future, after all, he still felt depressed. 

“You are always thinking about coming to my mansion. It’s good as long as you continue coming to me in the future.”

“If I don’t go to my fourth brother, with whom will I go?” Yinyou opened his eyes wide and said it as a matter of course, “I’m too embarrassed to ask for the good things from E’niang.”

After hearing this, Yinzhen’s complexion improved a lot. Among all the brothers, he was different after all.

1This is Yinzhen’s first child and it’s a di son, meaning, legitimate heir. In history, he was sickly, and died at the age of seven. He and his Principal Consort never had any other children again.2血燕 Swallow’s Nest.
