er sitting beside the fellow literary talent. The young man was dressed in a shirt and suit today. His air had a hint of scholarly refinement, but his mind was clearly not on the stage; he seemed a li...The boy's lips were devoured for quite a while, as beautiful and alluring as the petals on a sea-rose tree.

His eyes were slightly open, filled with a hazy look.

The crown prince gently sucked on his fair, tender collarbone before finally contentedly holding him close. His melodious voice, laced with a hint of husky laziness, said, “Sleep.”

But Ning Shu just couldn't fall asleep.

He was held in the crown prince's arms, yet he couldn't ignore the feeling behind him. Just now...the crown prince had taken a thin, tiny tube of ointment and put it inside.

It took a lot of effort to get the things delivered inside.

The Crown Prince also kissed his ear, whispering something... Ning Shu recalled it and felt ashamed.

The other party wasn't much older than him, but they used a pleasant voice to whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Even though the Crown Prince's voice was extremely melodious, he didn't speak with a lascivious tone.

It's just stating facts.

But Ning Shu, thinking about this, still couldn't help but bite her lip lightly.

I can't help but bury myself.

...

The prince beside her had already fallen asleep. Even with his eyes closed, the glimmer in his eyes beneath his long lashes held a hint of coldness.

His face was stunningly beautiful, captivating all who beheld it. Dressed in fine robes and astride a valiant steed, he seemed like a god descending from heaven.

Ning Shu roughly understood why some women in Beijing, despite hearing the rumors about the Crown Prince, still desired to be his wife. The reason was simple: the Crown Prince was unbelievably handsome and irresistible.

He hesitated for a moment, the ointment was already partially dissolved inside.

It is precisely because of this that Ning Shu feels a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but glance at the prince, unable to bear it. That fine thing... staying in his own body, so he hesitated a little and thought, even if he took it out, the prince probably wouldn't know.

Ning Shu already knew why the prince didn't want to take out the ointment, because it would melt.

He pursed his lips.

Turning her back on the prince, she was followed by a rustling sound.

The young man's clothes rubbed against each other very little, and he thought to himself that he had been so careful with his movements that he would definitely not wake the Crown Prince. He didn't know, however, that the moment he turned around, the Crown Prince had already opened those peach blossom eyes.

Just looked over like that.

Admiration flickered in his eyes as he gazed at Ning Shu's unclothed form.

That gaze, like a serpent's tongue, wouldn't let go of an inch.

Then she slightly lifted her lips and narrowed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Ning Shu had been working on this for a long time, sweating profusely, but to no avail. He couldn't help but clench his lips tightly, but there was simply no way he could get the thing out.

I couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, she could only give up. Afraid that the prince would be woken up by him, she hastily cleaned up and then closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

.....

Spring is back, and at this time every year, the Emperor holds a grand hunt on the mountain. Not only martial officials, but even civil officials come to join in the fun.

Otherwise, let the children of the house come. If they are favored by the Emperor, then it would not be in vain.

They naturally understand that they mustn't overshadow the princes.

It sounds good to say it's a hunt in the palace. It sounds bad to say that it's about accompanying the emperor and princes for their amusement.

And a carriage stopped.

The carriage, just from its luxurious appearance, was clearly that of the prince. The prince has always been flamboyant, favoring expensive and rare items, and this carriage was certainly top-of-the-line.

And the noblewomen had long heard that the prince's appearance was peerlessly handsome, beautiful like a god. That wasn't just idle talk.

They too wanted to see the prince's face.

Each one was adorned in their own unique style, some bright and lively, others delicate and graceful, still others gentle and charming. Down stepped from the carriage a young man with boots on his feet, a jade crown upon his head, fine clothes upon his body, and a steed beneath him - who could he be if not the Prince

Only to see the prince's eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, yet extremely noble in appearance.

The sight left all the women speechless.

They had also met several princes before, each one different. Some were handsome and some had good features, but none compared to the prince before them.

Their hearts fluttered at once, each unable to look away, but aware of their feminine propriety, they stole another glance.

They all say the prince is cruel, but now it seems he's nowhere near that.

They now had a new impression of the Crown Prince, but when he got off his carriage, he didn't leave. Instead, he waited there, which made them wonder why.

"Did the Prince marry a consort"

A arrogant and domineering voice rang out.

Several beauties looked over and discovered it was the daughter of a marquis's family. She was raised with love and care, and her beauty was unparalleled.

Having been pampered since childhood, she spoke with her chin ever so slightly raised. Her beautiful eyes, focused on the prince, clearly showed that she had fallen for him.

Several women had heard of this heiress' domineering nature and dared not provoke her.

Then she replied, "To the County Princess, the Crown Prince hasn't married yet."

As soon as the words were spoken, a young man stepped down from the carriage. The young man was exceptionally handsome. The prince raised his hand and embraced him in his arms.

...shocked the crowd even more.

...also stared dumbfounded. ...

After a while, someone said: "It's true that there is a man hidden in the Prince's golden house..."

The news about the prince's favorite male concubine has been causing a huge stir recently, leaving some people baffled and others shocked.

As soon as Ning Shu stepped down from the carriage, she was embraced by the Crown Prince with open arms.

He naturally felt that quite a few people had looked over, this wasn't some Prince's Manor after all, he couldn't help but speak up and remind, "…Your Highness…”

The Crown Prince, however, grasped his hand and said, “Bring Mu Li along. I don't want people to see your face.”

Ning Shu thought about it and agreed with the Crown Prince's words. He did look more eye-catching than ordinary men, so it was inevitable that he would attract attention. Besides, so many people had come today, even if not for him, they should be here for the sake of the Crown Prince.

He should also cover his face so that not many people would notice him.

And everyone saw that the Crown Prince was very close to the young man, but they couldn't see what he looked like.

But they didn't know, the Third Prince and his men, they knew exactly what Ning Shuchang looked like.

The Third Prince had been accompanied by Liu Sui ever since he'd almost lost his life at the hands of the Crown Prince last time. Liu Sui returned to serving the Third Prince, not because he was particularly fond of him.

But he still has use.

Liu Sui looked at Ning Shu standing beside the crown prince with envy in his eyes. Even though he knew the crown prince was no good, he still felt jealous.

He didn't understand what was so good about Ning Shu, not just the prince, even the third prince and others were keeping an eye on her.

Could it be just because of that face

The Third Prince retracted his gaze from the young man and then pinched Liu Sui's face, staring at him and saying, "If you still have no value after this hunt, this prince needn't keep you, understood"

Liu, following his heart, felt resentment. He had served the Third Prince with such diligence and effort, yet in the end, this man showed no regard for their past connection.

Thinking of the Third Prince's instructions, he felt a chill in his heart.

But if he didn't follow the other party's orders, Liusu would be just as miserable. He had no choice but to take a gamble.

....

The Emperor's carriage arrived in a quarter of an hour. Naturally, he brought several favored concubines from the harem, including the woman who had been sent to the Crown Prince's palace the night before and had been graced with his favor. She was now a Consort Rong.

On the contrary, the Empress was not among them.

The princes, the moment they appeared before the emperor, bowed to greet him.

The emperor smiled faintly, merely glancing at them before saying, "Where is the crown prince"

The Fifth Prince said sarcastically, "Father, the Crown Prince is currently with that so-called companion, who is actually his male favorite."

The Emperor’s face showed no emotion, he merely ordered the attendant beside him, “Bring the Crown Prince here.”

Liu Gonggong said yes, then according to the emperor's orders, he went to find the prince.

He never imagined that the Crown Prince would be so bold as to send the woman he had given back to the Emperor. What was originally a bed warmer for the Crown Prince, is now one of the Emperor's concubines.

And when the emperor learned of this, he was also inexplicably unreadable, and did not even fly into a rage.

Instead, she was given the title of Concubine Rong.

That night, Liu Gonggong did not see Ning Shu's face, but saw a young man beside the Crown Prince. He vaguely guessed that the person before him must be the male favorite favored by the Crown Prince.

He bowed: “Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you.”

The prince still held the young man's hand, but upon hearing this, he didn't take it to heart. He simply replied coolly, "I know."

When Liu Gong saw that the prince was calm and collected, he broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.

The prince wasn't worried, but he was. If they were late, the emperor wouldn't punish the prince, but he might be punished.

So Liu Gonggong didn't dare to urge him any further, he could only strain every sinew of his body to turn the Crown Prince's mind a little: "Your Majesty must be waiting anxiously, Your Highness."

Then the crown prince slowly said, "Isn't there a few elder and younger brothers in front of Father Emperor"

Liu Gonggong chuckled and said, "Your Majesty cares most about whom, the Crown Prince understands better than anyone."

while Ning Shu noticed a coldness in the prince's eyes.

His hand was held by the Crown Prince, and he gave a slight twitch of his lips before turning to say, “I shall go see Father.”

"But Liu Gonggong said: 'Your Majesty ordered the Crown Prince to bring this young master along.'"

The prince's face gradually lost its smile.

Even Liu Gonggong felt uneasy. He could only lower his head and say, "This is the Emperor's order. I am just passing on the message. Please, Your Highness, allow this young master to go with us."

The prince said lightly, "Go."

Ning Shu, however, stood aside, somewhat perplexed. He couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to see him.

After thinking about the prince's actions just now, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine and figured out the reason.

Mr. Liu stopped and said to him, "Young Master, when you meet the Emperor, you should take off your Muli."of water on the edge of his bed. On the spur of the moment, he blurted out those bank card numbers and passwords. Then he finished, and I frowned again. "We should remember them. Wait, I'll send you...
