Chapitre 29: KNOW YOUR PLACE

Two months later, the Imperial palace.

"It is getting late, let us call it a day", Assistant Imperial tutor Cheng announced as his attendant stacked up the students' worksheets at the spot beside his hands.

They had been studying for close to eight hours in the Closed confinement of the study.

The Princes and their study partners all but ran out of the study as soon as they were dismissed.

Nie was the last to leave, a eunuch wake-up to him as Deming backed his books and calligraphy brushed into his bag.

Nie Shaoqing raised a brow as the eunuch walked toward him, the eunuch looked oddly familiar to him.

He tilted his head slightly on seeing the red band on the edges of the eunuch's sleeves. He was a second-rank eunuch.

'Why is a second rank eunuch approaching me?" Nie Shaoqing thought as he bowed respectively at the eunuch.

His face did not betray his thoughts, the eunuch watched him closely, hoping to see him slip off.
