60 -60: The Feeling of Being a Star

When Lin Yi walked by their side, he only offered a very gentle smile:

“Night has fallen; find a spot to rest for a bit.

I’ll keep watch for you if anything comes up.”

This statement left the little palace maids frozen in astonishment.

In all the years they had been in the palace, when had they ever enjoyed such treatment?

Which eunuch or palace maid of any rank didn’t just summon and dismiss them with a flick of the hand?

Who ever regarded them as individuals.

Especially that warm smile on Eunuch Lin’s face just now, it was something no other eunuch ever possessed.

They truly recognized the difference between Eunuch Lin and the other eunuchs.

Eunuch Lin exuded a charm that they found very approachable.

He also didn’t carry that sinister aura common amongst other eunuchs.

He gently patted the stunned little palace maid and then walked ahead.

It must be said, Lin Yi’s appearance was truly handsome; so much so that when these palace maids looked at his retreating figure, their eyes twinkled with little stars.

The palace maid Lin Yi had patted on the shoulder blushed a little, and thought to herself how wonderful it would be to be partnered with Eunuch Lin.

And a palace maid nearby, seeing her sister being patted on the shoulder by Eunuch Lin, immediately felt a sour twinge of jealousy.

Although Eunuch Lin had only recently arrived, which little palace maid hadn’t secretly admired him?

She was also quite attractive, so why didn’t Eunuch Lin pat her shoulder just now?

So jealous, she lowered her voice and asked her close sister:

“How does it feel?

Are Eunuch Lin’s palms really that soft?

I saw just now; those fingers were delicate and fair.

Ah, I could never have imagined that little Eunuch Lin would be so warm and considerate.

To be partnered with him, even if it meant living a few years less, I would be willing…”

Lin Yi hadn’t gone far, and coupled with his good hearing in the quiet of the night, he overheard the little palace maid’s words.

This made him sigh with a wry smile, and he mused to himself:

“Alas, it seems being too handsome can also be a sin.

It seems the ancients did not deceive me; being handsome brings its own tribulations.

But don’t say, finding a few pretty little palace maids to pair up with is not a bad choice.”

Pairing, as you all understand, refers to the practice of palace maids and eunuchs living together as companions, in secret.

Just like husband and wife.

Though they couldn’t engage in marital acts, having each other for company could give them a bit of solace within the depths of the palace.

Although such matters couldn’t be done openly, the Emperor was human after all and thus turned a blind eye.

As long as it wasn’t too conspicuous, it was generally not interfered with.

Since arriving in the Imperial Study Room, Lin Yi had immediately become the favorite of the little palace maids.

Leaving aside his quick rise in rank, just his tall and handsome appearance alone fascinated them deeply.

Even more so, many little palace maids would fantasize about Lin Yi’s handsome face when alone at night.

To utter something utterly treasonous, in the eyes of the palace maids, Lin Yi was even more attractive than the Emperor.

Feeling a little smug at the palace maids’ words, Lin Yi raised his eyes only to see a group of little eunuchs sneaking off to find a spot to rest.

Clearly, they had just overheard what Lin Yi said to the palace maids.

At the same time, they couldn’t help but secretly think this fellow does have some conscience, somewhat better than all the former officials.

However, even though the person was not bad, his appearance truly wasn’t well-received by them.

Who let this guy charm away the souls of all the palace maids on duty here?

Consequently, nobody wanted to mess with these little eunuchs.

How could they not detest Lin Yi then?

Upon seeing these fellows also attempting to sneak away, Lin Yi immediately glared.

At the same time, he grabbed a little eunuch.

“Your humble servant pays respects to Eunuch Lin.”

After Lin Yi grabbed him by the nape, the little eunuch was instantly startled and hastily paid his respects to Lin Yi.

Naturally, this act also attracted everyone’s attention, and the gaze of almost all the palace maids and eunuchs turned their way.

Hearing the other’s greeting, Lin Yi just grunted in acknowledgment, and then immediately glared with displeasure as he spoke:

“Ahem, what are you doing?

Don’t you know it’s your duty to be on guard right now??”

Eh…

At this, everyone was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t it just Lin Yi who said to take a rest?

How come he went back on his word?

“Eunuch Lin, didn’t you say we could take a short rest?”

Intimidated by Lin Yi’s aura, the little eunuch quivered as he spoke while being held by the collar.

But who would have thought, as soon as his words fell, Lin Yi glared fiercely again:

“Nonsense! ƒrēenovelkiss.com

I told the palace maids to take a rest, are you also a palace maid?

Or do you think what I said wasn’t clear?

Scram back to your posts and stand guard properly!

If I catch anyone slacking off, see if I don’t skin him!”

After saying that, Lin Yi also waved his fist menacingly at that little eunuch, then strutted with short steps toward the door of the Imperial Study Room.

‘Damn it, a bunch of grown men, uh, a bunch of men without the…

stuff, how dare you compete with the women for rest?

Besides, you slept all day, and at night you still think of slacking off?

Do you really think you are those little fairy maidens??’

Meanwhile, Lin Yi’s ears also faintly caught the excited whispers of the group of palace maids:

“Wow, little Eunuch Lin is so handsome!

I really like him~”

“Ah, little Eunuch Lin is so domineering, I really want to…

you know, with him.”

“Pah, who wouldn’t?

A person as gentle and domineering as Eunuch Lin, who wouldn’t like him…”

And it’s true, this kind of feeling really was quite captivating, and he seemed to relate to the feeling of modern-day celebrities.

Of course, unlike the joy of the palace maids, those little eunuchs all looked bitter, bowing their heads and returning to their assigned spots.

Although it was very frustrating to see the group of palace maids finding a corner of the corridor to lean against and rest, they couldn’t do anything about Lin Yi.

Moreover, Lin Yi clearly had not forgotten his actual business.

After arriving outside the Imperial Study Room, he tiptoed and gently pushed the door open a crack, then leaned in to sneak a peek, ready to see if the young Emperor was indeed as he suspected.

Those little eunuchs who returned to their posts couldn’t help but mutter to themselves that this fellow truly had the Emperor’s favor.

If it were someone else daring to spy on the Imperial Study Room, that would absolutely mean losing their head.

And, as Lin Yi peeked inside, just as the young Emperor had lain down on the Dragon Couch, a very familiar voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

…End of the chapter…
