Editor : Minak Amie. TQ for your hard work!

　　After he finished speaking, Qiu Lan and the other maids came in and helped him wash and get ready. Seeing that he was already up and even wanted to practice calligraphy, they highly praised him for being self-motivated. Hearing their words of praise, Feng Ming became happier. After was.h.i.+ng up and changing clothes, the silk and ink stone were prepared. Qiu Yue stood at his side to help him grind the ink.

　　Rong Tian had also wanted to get out of bed and accompany him, but he was stubbornly driven away by Feng Ming. “Yesterday, you went and infiltrated enemy territory. You’re lacking sleep. Quickly get back into bed.”

　　Rong Tian had become more tired as of recent. Feng Ming was resolute, and his eyes could not help but show a bit of distress. Looking at him, Rong Tian’s heart filled up with warmth. Heavy kisses fell upon Feng Ming’s lips before he said, “Write well and show me when you’re done. If you really have improved, I will give you a big reward.” He then followed Feng Ming’s instruction and went back to bed.

　　Feng Ming laughed and responded, “You better remember the words you just said. Don’t go back on your promise later.” He ordered Qiu Xing to help ma.s.sage Rong Tian’s shoulders in order to make his sleep more comfortable.

　　Qiu Lan lit up the soothing incense inside the room and left to prepare what she is best at: delicious pastries and cooked meals, meant for Feng Ming and Rong Tian’s consumption later.

　　The day gradually became bright. The birds and insects were no longer noisily quarrelling.

　　The pleasant temperature of spring was good for soothing emotions.

　　Rong Tian laid in bed, silently watching Feng Ming practice his handwriting. He wore a simple gown and sat at the desk with a serious look. Looking at his face made others feel a tender fondness towards him and could make them unconsciously smile.

　　His appearance was handsome and elegant. He gave off an admirable and refined temperament that originated from deep within. No longer was he the same clumsy and silly guy he had met so long ago at Xi Lei’s imperial palace.

　　In his eyes, as though he were a painting… the other man’s beauty was almost unreal.

　　Watching Feng Ming seriously practice, Rong Tian felt peaceful. With the addition of Qiu Xing’s hands softly ma.s.saging his sore shoulders, his tenseness unconsciously relaxed and his eyes closed.

　　Feng Ming has learned from numerous teachers, resulting in his improving to a certain extent. At least when he wrote, there was no longer the impetuousness of the past. Now he could behave calmly when he practiced. When Rong Tian was his teacher, he had often acted mischievously and naughty. However, it was strange that he was willing to practice in such a meticulous manner after promising Luo Yun.
