He Yin stumbled slightly but managed to steady himself, feeling anxious as he awaited Qin Xi's judgment.
At that moment, the system's notification chimed in his ear once more: Regent's Favorability towards you has increased.
Seeing the disdainful look in Qin Xi's eyes, He Yin felt perplexed and wondered if the system's prompt was malfunctioning.
Qin Xi cleared his throat, withdrew his hand, and said, "Eat well." He then added, "It's late; don't wander around or rummage through things."
"I will obey your command, Your Highness," He Yin quickly replied, lowering his head and adopting a submissive demeanor.
"If you want anything to eat, just ask me directly," Qin Xi added.
He Yin hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I am merely a servant in the woodshed; it’s not easy for me to see you."
"From tomorrow on, you can see me every day," Qin Xi replied casually.
He Yin displayed a puzzled expression at the appropriate moment.
"Starting tomorrow, come serve by my side," Qin Xi's voice was neither loud nor soft but carried an undeniable authority.
Qin Xi admired He Yin's fearful demeanor before gracefully departing under the moonlight.
He Yin stood there, glancing at his barely increased health points, and let out a faint sigh.
She didn't want to continue living in this precarious situation, fearing that one careless moment could cost her life. She had no idea how to end this damned game of crossing over. It seemed that the most urgent task was to complete her mission at Regent's Palace — obtaining the Imperial Jade Seal.
“Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and find me some clothes,” Qin Xi said coldly.
“Oh.” He Yin flitted around the room like a headless fly, panicking.
“Turn left and go straight,” Qin Xi reminded her, unable to suppress her irritation at He Yin's clumsiness.
“Oh.” He Yin responded and headed in the direction Qin Xi indicated.
“So stupid,” Qin Xi muttered with a hint of disdain, yet the system still indicated that her Favorability was rising.
He Yin reached the door and instructed the servant outside to fetch a set of clothes.
When she returned, she found that Qin Xi had already removed his outer robe. Dressed in a thin inner garment, Qin Xi looked even more enchanting. The garment was slightly disheveled, revealing his delicate collarbone, and his porcelain skin glowed even more under the contrast of his dark hair.
He Yin quickly looked up, but her nosebleed stubbornly flowed. She lamented inwardly about how beauty could be so misleading! Her already precarious health points had dropped again!
Qin Xi shook his head helplessly and said, “You should go now. Come back to serve me in the study tonight.”
The next day, He Yin reported to Qin Xi on time.
Qin Xi held a White Piece and was amusing himself with a Chessboard alone.
He Yin stood cautiously beside him, serving tea and water, her gaze fixed on the chessboard, quiet for a while until she could no longer hold back. "Your Highness, don't you find it boring to play chess by yourself?"
Qin Xi glanced at her, then returned his attention to the chessboard, coldly replying, "Silence."
He Yin volunteered, "Let me play chess with you."
Qin Xi scrutinized her with a doubtful look before placing the pieces he held into the White Jade Chess Jar.
Then he watched as He Yin confidently took a seat opposite him, grabbed a handful of pieces, and placed one on the chessboard.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Qin Xi's mouth as he picked up a white piece, ready to capture a large group of He Yin's black pieces.
Seeing this, He Yin excitedly blocked Qin Xi's hand, refusing to let him make his move. "Wait! I want to take back my move!"
She adjusted her previous black piece but soon realized that her actions were somewhat presumptuous.
