After pausing, he looked at him with a clear gaze: "By the way, congratulations on passing the exam. You need to work hard for the autumn examination, and be careful of Crown Prince Li Changnian. His power is immense, and you should avoid him setting traps for you."
Shen Chen nodded in agreement. Whether it was the lingering effects of the alcohol or not, he seemed a bit more obedient under the moonlight, with less of his usual aloofness.
Ye Zhi naturally detected a faint scent of alcohol and remarked, "Did you drink tonight?"
He admitted, "A little, it's no big deal."
"Then you'd better go back and rest. Don't strain your eyes reading at night; save it for daytime," she said, hastily urging him to leave as she moved to close the lattice window, avoiding his gaze.
A slender, jade-like hand landed with a "tap" on the carved lattice window with a floral motif.
The night was silent, save for the sound of frogs in the lake at the back of the courtyard.
