little's home

The tall young man went through several streets and had to bow sometimes as well, when he saw people of higher rank. Though it wasn't that often as it was still relatively early for those truly high ranked to be present and there was no special event asking for their presence either.

Even the small few only moves around slowly as they seemingly just awoke going in small steps without haste to their destination, not interested the least in those lower than them.

After having walked for around half an hour, in relatively large steps with a small smile on the young man's face carrying the large box at his back, forgetting he was working shortly.

He shortly arrived at a side wall, walking along it until he was at a small gate which only had a young man in a white eunuch's robe without any accessories or any sort of jewellery on his robe. On his head he had a small circular black hat. When he saw the tall young man coming his way, he directly entered the gate hastily and looked for another young man wearing the same. Upon seeing his peer, he directly signalised pretty obviously to come to him.

"Heee" he whispered slightly loudly, to which the young man reacted and came his way "Tian Xuan (profound sky) is here! Come fast to the gate, he's probably already waiting at the entrance!"

"Hua Xu, what are you saying!" answered the young eunuch while slightly blushing. Still, he followed hastily behind his peer to the gate. Upon arriving at the gate, he took a deep breath, opened the gate and looked into the eyes of the slightly taller young man.

"Jing'er, here is a package... it's a living being." As the tall young man gave the package, which was being opened by Hua Xu to look into, he looked at Hua Jing's (intelligent flower) eyes and smiled.

Ji Li, who just came out and was happy to finally see light besides the slight shine in the box and took a nice fresh breath, immediately saw the two looking each other into the eyes. He rolled his eyes 'I just came and directly have to see others admire each other... and I thought I could at least take a breather here! But it's surprising, it seems they are more accepting than at home. Very weird, and they say that the ancients are much more traditional! Phui, what lies! Clearly, they enjoy themselves here more. But wait...'

As Ji Li looked upon the young man that carried him, and the other young man clearly forgetting the situation, he realised their robes were... strangely familiar! 'Oh, Oh, Oh nooo... WAITTTT! No way right... They look EXACTLY like a Eunuch from the ancient times. Here I thought that this couple was in a small forbidden love between servants, looking at how they looked even less decorated than the old woman that carried me to the box station... BAHAHAHA, they're EUNUCHS...' 

Ji Li looked at the tall man that had a small wooden construct on his back and thought 'A Eunuch and a Porter? I need a breath; didn't I just arrive at... a yard? I just reincarnated dying from a wet towel and now I can't even escape the romance in this live for a single month!'

Hua Jing blushed as he looked too long, he coughed and looked at the baby that clearly had a slightly expression with it's cute baby face. This made his face flushed even more, while trying to cough himself out of it, he actually fell into a coughing duel with Tian Xuan who also looked sideways.

Apparently, both of them were embarrassed to look at each other like that publicly and in the presence of a small baby at that.

"Junior Eunuch Hua Jing! Why are you so loudly at the courtier's gate? Today there is a special deliv..." just as a loud voice came from behind Hua Xu, who then turned, the source of the voice was a middle-aged man that had a similar robe to the young eunuchs, but his robe had green shades at its ends.

When he saw the small baby with bright emerald, green eyes, his eyes were so shocked that he had the urge to bow to the baby. 

"What a blessed child, carrying the imperial colour!" 

Hearing this, Tian Xuan, Hua Jing and Hua Xu looked again at the baby, before they just had a slight peek at it as they were busy with other things. But now they saw the bright colour and shortly lost themselves in it.

Snapping back to reality, they were a bit embarrassed to be lost in the charm of a baby, which was although small, just born. At least that's what the deliveries info said. Send away just after birth and ow 9 days old. That really hit them all, especially the Intermediate Eunuch when he saw the paper in the hand of Hua Xu, who was carrying the baby in his arms and nearly dropped it.

Tian Xuan smiled once again at Hua Jing as he said, "I must leave now... Jing'er, could we talk later?" although the smile was genuine, he still had a small frown on his face, showing slight sadness.

Seeing this, Hua Jing couldn't help but dash to him and touch his sleeves "Tian Xuan... Xuan'er..." he came a bit closer and started whispering, which still everyone presents, even the baby, heard as the hearing will be strengthened in the early stages of cultivation. "Brother Xuan, can you come back later today? I will... I will take care of my little brother" he continues after a small peek at the baby "He needs to see the yard a bit and take a fresh breath since he just arrived, right Eunuch Lin (forest)?"

"Yes, the new little brother should take some fresh air later in the evening before sleeping. Now take him to the trainee's yard, the below 1 building. You just left it the yard this year and already going back!" Intermediate Eunuch Lei Lin sighed "I am soon leaving, so I can't take care of him. Since you already volunteered, you'll be taking care of him until he's of age! Take two more since you're already at it."

Clearly seeing the smug face on Eunuch Lin, Hua Jing couldn't help but smile wryly 'I just wanted to talk with brother Xuan and he's giving me three trainees to take care of! Arghhh, since one is a baby, I have to take the two others of his age too. Eunuch Lin really is becoming a trickster! He was such a nice mentor before and now already commanding me to do the same. I thought I'd be assigned to a palace and could look around... well staying here isn't so bad, at least brother Xuan visits me.'

'Wow, look at them. I don't need to understand but they're acting all lovely while an elder is present and he probably couldn't stand it either. Young people really are energic... wait, I'm even younger! Will I have to act like this too? No way! I'll directly be super serious and make sure they're not on my back all the time. I already lived enough of a working life! I studied so long and worked for 4 years an unrewarding job, am I supposed to have it worse here?' Thought Ji Li as he put on a stoic expression, which made the others chuckle inwardly, but they supressed it because it seemed it would upset the small thing.
