At this moment, inside the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Household Department, a pale-faced boy was gritting his teeth and stretching his legs, his whole body trembling.
Seeing him like this, the new eunuch who shared a room with him couldn’t help but show admiration.
“Qi Xi, you are really amazing! I feel like I’m about to die if I stretch my leg! You have actually persisted for more than two months.”
After saying this, they also gritted their teeth and began stretching their legs.
Because if they didn’t do this after castration, they would grow up with hunched backs, never able to straighten their backs!
Even if they couldn’t be men anymore, they didn’t want to be hunched-over eunuchs!
The boy they called Qi Xi, however, gritted his teeth and persevered expressionlessly.
Ten days later, all the newly recruited eunuchs had finished their recuperation and were then assigned to various places within the palace to perform their duties.
…
As for Zhou Hao, although he received the treatment for a prince because of a word from the Emperor, he was still bullied by other princes in the Imperial Academy.
“Hahaha, Zhou Hao, you actually changed into new clothes! How rare!”
“You dare wear silk and satin?! You lowly thing!”
“Everyone, come and look! The writing set Zhou Hao is using—isn’t that the same set that Father bestowed upon Ninth Sister?! This is a treasure that even the Crown Prince couldn’t obtain back then! And it’s fallen into his hands!”
The next moment, the ten-year-old Crown Prince looked at Zhou Hao’s writing set with a gloomy expression.
Seeing that it was indeed what he wanted but couldn’t get, the Crown Prince’s face immediately turned ugly.
Seeing this, the Third Prince’s eyes immediately darted around, and then he deliberately smashed the inkstone on the ground. With a loud crack, the inkstone shattered into two pieces.
“Oops, I’m so sorry, Zhou Hao, my hand slipped!”
Just then, with a ‘click’, another prince chuckled and said, “Oops, I slipped too! This brush is so fragile!”
Watching them laugh while breaking and destroying his things, Zhou Hao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes lowered as he stared at the ground.
Only after the princes had finished bullying him did Zhou Hao step forward and pick up all the things they had destroyed, then silently left the Imperial Academy.
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years!
One day, he will make all those who had bullied him regret it!
…
Meanwhile, Zi Ling was actually hoping Zhou Hao would be bullied, because only then could she have a chance to win his favor more deeply.
Zi Ling had been waiting for Zhou Hao on his way home from the Imperial Academy. Seeing his disheveled appearance, her eyes lit up. She rushed over with a concerned expression, holding a pen, ink, paper, and an inkstone.
“Fourth Prince, have you been bullied again? They’ve gone too far!”
Zi Ling asked as she stepped forward and gently patted Zhou Hao’s clothes.
Seeing her concerned expression, Zhou Hao’s face softened.
He said, “I’m fine, I’m used to it.”
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling immediately showed a look of pity: “What they did was wrong. You can’t keep putting up with this anymore, or they will bully you even more.”
After saying that, Zi Ling said again, “These are the writing sets I managed to buy for you with great difficulty. They are not as precious as those used by the princes, but they are still better than writing on the ground. Take them.”
