Yuki smiled when he heard this nickname, he hasn't heard anyone call him that in a long time except his mother, his mother had told him, that a young man conserves given her the idea. He never knew who he was, as his mother never saw his face, but now he really wonders, perhaps his mother had met Huang before she was sent to the capital and lived there and died there.
"Huang where did you hear that nickname?" Yuki questioned.
"I made it up for a stupid little kid I Met along time ago why? Is there something about that nickname?" Huang questioned in response.
"Oh nothing, you should get to bed," Yuki replied.
Huang sighed, "Yes, Yes. I will, now you should go attend your newly attained wife ya know."
"But I only want you," Yuki whispered.
Yuki left as Huang sighed, [He's like his mother and that scares me, she'd kill me right now for having him want me, she would tell her son never to fall in love with a beast like me, I don't blame her, after all, I've ever done and yet she wanted me to come back and risk my life for him, perhaps she knew he would fall in love with me one day? Bah! What am I thinking she's dead! I can't even ask her anything now, not at all.]
"My lord, it's late." A servant spoke.
This servant is named Nana Qiang, she was a servant assigned from his sister to check up on him, to make sure he didn't do anything she didn't like.
"Yes, I will retire, Nana," Huang replied softly.
Huang had taken off his hat, but the blanket covered over his face, even if you have taken the blanket off, there was a hat on top of him, but has a place to breathe, therefore, you couldn't see his face even if you wanted to.
Tomorrow...Perhaps a better day!
Huang was woken early and had put his hat, on for the day, his clothes were changed by Nana and another servant.
Huang refuses to take the medicine prescribed by the empress's private doctor, though he is familiar with herbs, he's well aware that this was a worsening effect on his healing and refused it with all his might!
"My lord, You must take your medicine!" Nana shouted.
"I already took it! The physician That was assigned to me, she personally attended to his majesty!" Huang shouted "I won't! I refuse! I already took really bitter medicine!"
"Huang, You don't need to drink the medicine." Yuki walked into the room, with Huang's sister, Yang.
"Thank god, *cough, cough, cough* I don't want to drink some tea if you could have it served," Huang uttered softly "And for something for your highness as well."
"Yes, my lord," Nana replied.
Nana left, got to grab the tea.
"Huang, you're getting better I hope," Yuki spoke.
"Yes, Physician Yukon says that in another year or so, I will have my body to its original state that it was in," Huang muttered.
"Little brother where did you go after you left the capital, five years ago?" Yang asked.
Huang didn't say a word, thinking back to what his mother had said, [Never say anything about what happened here, ever to anyone you don't trust, don't even tell my husband about this, I don't even trust him anymore, neither my son till he's old enough to handle all of this himself someday.]
"Nothing, nothing at all." Huang sighed.
"Huang, the tea was brought, you should drink it before it gets cold," Yuki replies.
"Thank you, Nana." Huang replied, "I appreciate it."
Huang sighed softly, "Huang there is a banquet this evening, My brothers would like to meet you, they very interested in you, rumors have been going around the Capital."
"I'll go, besides I'm interested to see, something that I'm quite curious about." Huang smiled softly, [More like who daring enough to do something tonight, especially that dear sister of mine]
Tonight
Huang's clothes had been changed by Nana, his hair has been tied together in a bun, with some of his hair braided.
"His majesty the emperor arrives! Her majesty the empress arrives!" A servant shouted.
"Greetings to your majesties." They all spoke.
"Begin the White louts' tide banquet!" Shouted the same servant.
"Huang, these are my elder brothers all eighteen of them," Yuki spoke.
"Greetings." Huang enunciated, "To your highnesses."
"The nineteenth brother hasn't told us, anything about you Huang at all." A prince spoke, "Do tell us, anything we could know about you."
"My name is Huang, which is a nickname for my real name, Xi is my given name, I'm an illegitimate son but, it turned out I'm not, my mother was the main wife, I was born on June, 15 the year of 1220, and I'm nineteen years old, and I'm nowhere living in this palace, I met her highness Noble consort Weng when I was merely six years old, and she raised me as her Disciple, and had learned martial arts till I was nine and then traveled on my own since I met his highness that is all." Huang explained, "*cough, cough, cough* I apologize for my coughing."
Huang gave a bright smile. Yang spoke up, "So that rumor was true that the main wife threw you out. Haha! You got thrown out by pathetic women!"
"You dare speak like that! How rude! Have her down!" Yuki shouted, "You should be he—"
"Calm down, there's no need for shouting, it's a banquet mind your manners." Huang's voice echoed despite's it's soft tone.
"Huang don't stand up, hold on I'll help you down, your legs have just recovered, don't overuse your legs." Yuki replied softly "You'll worry me to death, literally."
Huang sighed, "You worry too vastly, I'm far sharper then I look."
Huang sat down, [What pain she's caused such great trouble, the old man will be angered, heavily. This is a pain to deal with]
"You dare cause trouble, little commoner!" Shouted the emperor "I'll have you heavily punished."
Huang grinned slightly in delight, "Huang, Your evil as ever."
Huang gazed behind him, "Yun, you cunning thing, how did you even get in here?"
"I'm the official guard for you, via his majesty," Yun elucidated "So anything else dear master of mine."

"Your highness, my name Yun, Huang's sworn brother," Yun explained "Even though Huang doesn't explain anything to anyone you'll know why we've sworn brothers in the future. I'll be leaving now, Huang."
"Yeah later, pain in the butt," Huang muttered.
Yuki sighed softly, [Huang doesn't explain anything, at all. Not even how my mother had adopted him, or anything at all, like the fact he was thrown out from the main wife? Is it true? Better yet how could she dare? Better yet if he was accused of being an illegitimate child, how could he have survived and cleared his name? Or better yet who is his mother? Or rather I haven't seen anyone from The Xi family except him and his sister and a mere servant! This is absolutely puzzling, no matter a fact, I will solve this! No matter the cost! So help me I die!]
"What are you thinking about that made you so puzzled? Or rather why are you thinking hard, if you displeased we can talk outside then." Huang replies "I'm actually rather bored, are we allowed to excuse are selves."
"Huang, you can't say that. This banquet was prepared by the empress." Yuki replied, "please don't be disrespectful alright."
Huang sighed softly, [I didn't want to be here, I had to be here, and from master said, banquets are never that peaceful, never.]
An: The master he's talking about is Noble consort Wen.
Suddenly a little knife went flying near Huang barley missed, sliced his cheek, causing it to bleed a little.
"Killer." Huang muttered softly, "But where?"
Yuki looked over and noticed Huang hang covering his cheek.
"Huang, why are you covering your cheek?" Yuki asked.
Huang's eyes softened, "Oh, I think I cut my self by my nail, it's nothing."
Huang sighed,[I can't let this kid know that, there is someone trying to kill me, that would be bad, he has master's sharp eyes.]
"Nail? Let me see." Yuki replied.
"Ah, I'm fine you don't need to see, I'll apply some medicine later on." Huang explained.
Huang smiled, "I don't care, I wanna see."
Yuki sighed, [I know he doesn't have an actually weak, but if he got hurt this would cause a big problem, for him and I. Mostly him.]
"Huang, let this princess see." A soft voice spoke.
This is Princess Yi
Age-7
Is the daughter of Noble consort Wen, Huang's master.
"Princess, my cheeks fine, there's—"
"Let this princess see, or I have you stuck in bed longer!" She threatens.
She is also a physician at the age of 7, crazy!
"I'm sorry, I'll let you see." Huang muttered.
Huang realized shes more like his master then anything.
Yi lifted up his hang moving it, so she could see the cut, "Huang this wasn't made by a nail, it was made by—"
"Shh, I know Your highness, I don't want anyone to know, even your brother, just treat it, we can talk about this later." Huang whispered in her ear.
"Alright." Yi replied.
Yi had treated the wound and sighed, "Big brother, Huang would be fine, just don't stress him out, or make him do anything stressful."
Yi walked away with a smirk on her face, [If he gets injured again, he will suffer, heavily!]
