Chapter 608

Zichen Palace

The Emperor sat next to a top-grade table made of Phoebe zhennan wood inlaid with natural white jade dragon patterns, carefully peeling green skin walnuts.

Last night, Shangguan Xuanyi, that mischievous one, didn't deliver the bag full of green skin walnuts unto him until it was dark. He suggested the Emperor to take his time peeling them, saying that it would be a good pastime. The Emperor was so irritated he almost threw the walnuts in Xuanyi's face.

He did this on purpose! He knew very well that the Emperor was 'sick' and supposedly should be going to bed early. Still, he brought the walnuts after dark. Peeling walnuts in the dead of night… ridiculous!

Lately, he has been turning off the lights and 'going to bed' less than an hour after sunset.

He definitely could not waste his time with these green-skinned walnuts that he had been longing for over half a year.
