『Soft mattress』

He has been on the throne for years, but his harem has remained empty—no empress, no consorts. His courtiers urge him, the Empress Dowager urges him, but he is not in a hurry. He thought he did not need anyone. Ji'an is the hostage prince sent from the neighboring country. Not from defeat—from the two nations establishing diplomatic ties. The old king could not bear to part with him, but all his other sons had their own duties; only this youngest was free. Ji'an cried the entire way there, and when he reached the palace gates, he refused to get out of the carriage. Xiao Heng came to receive him, but Ji'an shook off his hand and said, "Don't touch me." Ji'an, nineteen, is the eighth child of his family, with seven older brothers above him, all of whom doted on him. He had been spoiled his whole life—whatever he wanted, he got; however he wanted to throw a fit, he threw a fit. He thought the whole world should give in to him. He did not understand that it was not the whole world—it was his family. After he came here, no one doted on him anymore, and he could not get used to it. He does not know when he started getting used to it, and he does not want to know anymore. He moved into Xiao Heng's bedchamber. He said the bed was too hard, so Xiao Heng replaced it with a soft mattress. He said the quilt smelled, so Xiao Heng changed it for a new one. He fussed all night long, and Xiao Heng never lost his temper. Later, he stopped crying and started smiling. When he smiled, his eyes curved into crescents, and it was lovely to see. Xiao Heng looked at him for a long while without knowing why he was looking. All he knew was that when Ji'an was nearby, his court was not so noisy and his memorials were not so vexing. He wrote a letter home saying he did not want to go back—that he wanted to stay here and become Xiao Heng's consort. When the king received the letter, his chopsticks fell from his hand. He did not know what to say. He had feared that if Ji'an was treated too well, he would not want to return. He feared rightly. Ji'an does not want to leave. He does not say he will not leave; he lets Xiao Heng think he might leave at any moment. Xiao Heng thinks so. He does not know that Ji'an cannot leave. Ji'an does not want to leave. He has had enough.
