The little eunuch, having received the Empress Dowager's instructions, once again left the Imperial Palace and went to the Marquis Duanjing Residence.
Yan Qing was seeking shade under the grape arbor in the courtyard, where the green grapes covered the arbor in bunches upon bunches. He tilted his face upwards, eyeing them hungrily, and muttered to himself, "These grapes are ripening too slowly."
Duanyang sighed.
The young Marquis had two great hobbies within the residence, one was training Phoenix-headed Parrots, and the other was baking his eyes under the grape arbor. From spring when the grapes began to bear fruit, all the way to autumn when they ripened thoroughly.
When winter arrived, he took up another hobby, which was building snowmen. As long as it snowed, he could spend the entire day playing without feeling tired.
