[Feudal Patriarch Daddy-Type Top x Silly Beauty Cat-Type Bottom]
As the cat of his generation who could maintain human form the longest, Xie Zhenxue took on the responsibility of raising his entire clan.
Six of them, no less!
So, after hearing that becoming an official was the most profitable career for humans, Xie Zhenxue resolutely set out to "pass the imperial examinations from scratch in 180 days."
After a great deal of hardship, he finally made it through and became the newly appointed Vice Minister of Rites. And yet...
Where was the money?!
Why was all he got endless overtime, overtime, and more overtime?!
A colleague kindly offered him some advice.
If an official wanted to make money, hard work alone wouldn't cut it. First, he had to curry favor with his superior.
Xie Zhenxue had an epiphany and decided to go straight to the top.
He would curry favor with the most powerful superior in court:
Prince Qin, Zhao Che.
-
There had once been rumors at court that Prince Qin, Zhao Che, harbored treasonous ambitions.
The claim that the young emperor needed his uncle to govern as regent was merely a cover for his attempt to usurp the throne.
The ministers all agreed wholeheartedly.
But the rumors died down the very next day.
After that, no one dared mention the word "regency" again.
From then on, on top of his reputation for being "arbitrary, violent, cruel, and abusing his power," Prince Qin Zhao Che also acquired a fearsome reputation as a man who could silence a crying baby at night.
Everyone in court and beyond was terrified of him.
So when word spread that Xie Zhenxue had requested an audience with Prince Qin for no apparent reason,
everyone assumed they would never see the stunning young Vice Minister again, and felt sorry for him.
And yet...
Not only did Xie Zhenxue walk out of the prince's residence unharmed,
he also rose to become Prince Qin's favorite, winning his deep trust.
Everyone was curious. Some busybodies even dared to ask Xie Zhenxue himself what had happened.
Not that they truly expected an answer. They only meant it as idle conversation.
To their surprise, Xie Zhenxue didn't keep anything to himself.
He tilted his head, his long lashes quivering. "That day, His Highness Prince Qin asked what I could do for him, and I replied..."
Everyone held their breath.
Xie Zhenxue's gaze was clear and innocent as a child's. "I can sleep with you."
Everyone: ...Was that something they were allowed to hear?!
Were they about to be silenced right away?!!
--
At a later court assembly,
His Highness Prince Qin, who never missed a session, was, in a rare occurrence, absent on leave.
The ministers were suddenly at a loss, and their panic gave way to all sorts of speculation.
The young emperor was even more anxious. He insisted that his uncle be summoned from his residence before he would continue with the assembly.
A palace eunuch hurried to Prince Qin's residence. After finally obtaining permission to approach the prince's bedchamber, he was just about to announce himself when he heard an intensely intimate, ambiguous whimper from inside.
"Mm... enough, Your Highness... Your Highness, please spare Zhenxue..."
But before the words were out, they dissolved into even more plaintive, breathy sobs.
Inside the bedchamber, His Highness Prince Qin, now the object of concern for both the emperor and the ministers, furrowed his swordlike brows. His imposing presence needed no anger to make itself felt. His large hand gripped the beauty's slender waist, and his eyes grew darker. "Wrong again."
Xie Zhenxue, too weak to do anything but lean against Zhao Che's shoulder, shuddered all over. Still, he struggled to lift his eyes, revealing a pair of catlike eyes glistening with tears. He looked utterly pitiful.
He managed to hold back his sobs and said aggrievedly, "...What did I do wrong this time?"
Zhao Che held the back of his trembling neck. There was almost a chuckle in his voice, but his tone remained authoritative:
"Good kitty, no crying."
