"You guys are so lecherous!"

Fang Ruotang would never admit that her words were ambiguous, and she quickly shifted the blame, her little face flushed red as she looked at the six men in front of her with disdain.

She emphasized, "You're not allowed to have such vulgar thoughts anymore. Have some decency!"

All six men were embarrassed, and none of them spoke up to refute. Even Huo Zhige, who was usually the most eager to show off, kept silent with a slightly distorted handsome face.

Who told them to misunderstand!

In fact, a very few people's first reaction was that it brought six times the happiness, which is... outrageous!

Awkward silence filled the air.

Let alone the six men, even Fang Ruotang, who is usually carefree, felt ashamed to live in this world for a moment. But embarrassment is a strange emotion. When she found that someone was more embarrassed than her, she instantly felt that she could do it again.

"So, what do you say?"

After Fang Ruotang finished asking the question, the Crown Prince, who was always in a dominant position, remained silent.

She thought about it and realized that everyone might disagree, so she racked her brains and came up with a solution that she thought was fairer, saying, "How about you all go together?"

The six men remained silent, clearly disagreeing.

After all, they all tacitly felt that, apart from themselves, the other five were not to be underestimated and might sneak into Fang Ruotang's room again at night.

Last night's ultimate pleasure was followed by an emptiness of unfulfilled desire, and the backlash was intense, giving one an urge to tear things apart and destroy them. After all, the flames of jealousy can erode a person's reason, and besides, they all knew where this pleasure came from, so it was inevitable that some self-loathing was mixed in with it.

"What else can we do!" Fang Ruotang muttered, her face scrunched up. "Too many men are such a nuisance."

The six men stared at her speechlessly, but dared not say anything, fearing that her next words would be, "From now on, let's mold you all into one person!"

Huo Zhige gritted his teeth and said, "Let's sleep together, in a large dormitory."

He had just finished serving the emperor last night, so it was impossible for him to have the chance to sleep with him tonight. Since that was the case, he might as well sleep in a large dormitory and keep watch with his eyes on Fang Ruotang tonight.

Huo Zhige's idea was good, and many people shared the same idea. Therefore, the proposal was passed unanimously in this awkward atmosphere.

Fang Ruotang wasn't shy at all. After all, she was open and honest. In her opinion, seven people sleeping in a dormitory was no different from her and her sisters sleeping in one bed.

But once they got into the room and saw her enormous bed, a new problem arose.

It's not that seven people can't sleep together; they can all fit. After all, she has a bad sleeping posture and often rolls off the bed, so her parents made her a bed that's twice the size of a normal bed—huge.

Fortunately, her family doted on her and gave her the best courtyard and the biggest room. Otherwise, this bed wouldn't fit in a regular room, and if she couldn't sleep in it, she could always sleep on the floor.

The most important thing right now is that seven people can sleep together, but who will sleep on either side of Fang Ruotang has become a new problem.

Huo Zhige said, "What's there to argue about? It's definitely going to be me and the Crown Prince. After all, you're all a bit unfamiliar with Little Cutie. If you just sleep right next to her like this, she'll definitely be uncomfortable. You don't want her to have trouble sleeping, do you?"

Huo Zhige spoke with a strong sense of conviction, though his argument was not entirely reasonable.

He even rallied allies, looking at the crown prince and asking, "What do you think?"

The Crown Prince glanced at Huo Zhige and also thought the suggestion was good, but he still habitually prioritized Fang Ruotang's wishes and asked her, "Do you think it's okay?"

Fang Ruotang, being heartless and oblivious, couldn't understand the feelings of the six men at all. She was about to agree without a care when the young prince scoffed, "Why don't you say that you are all Ruoruo's husbands? You've all had your fill, shouldn't we have some soup too? People, don't be so selfish."

"To be honest, Xiao Liu and I should have become husband and wife last night, and I could have asked to sleep next to you with the same confidence as him today. In the end, I am not worthy."

Ye Wuxia spoke softly, her eyes lowered, her whole being radiating loneliness.

The crown prince glanced at him, feeling a bit nauseous.

Leaving aside the other four, he knew that Ye Wuxia was decisive and efficient, and could be called a "Jade-Faced Yama" (a powerful and ruthless figure in Chinese mythology). He had both the means and the ability to achieve his goals.

But why does he always act so petty and narrow-minded in front of Fang Ruotang? It's uncomfortable to watch, and what's most uncomfortable is that Fang Ruotang actually falls for it, which makes the Crown Prince even more disgusted.

"How about we change seats?" Fang Ruotang was like a weather vane, always changing her mind.

Standing among six handsome men, she would protect one when he was downcast, and feel sorry for another when he was sad. She had no opinions of her own and was always wavering.

"The four of you will decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors. The two winners will sleep on either side of Fang Ruotang. Life and death are in the hands of fate, and no one is to say another word!"

The Crown Prince selected four women who had not yet served him in bed.

Huo Zhige said, "This is not fair!"

“If you want fairness, you shouldn’t have kidnapped people last night. If you hadn’t kidnapped them, you could have replaced Minister Ye right now and talk about fairness here.”

The crown prince made a decision with a stern face, and no one else objected.

After all, this matter was beneficial to the four of them, and none of them would object. However, in this situation, they didn't think about anything else and didn't notice that they increasingly recognized the status of the Crown Prince's eldest son's family and often agreed with what he said.

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors! Let's finish this quickly so we can go to sleep! I'm so sleepy, I can't go on anymore. You guys can do whatever you want! I'm going to wash up and then I'll go to sleep."

Fang Ruotang waved her hand, too lazy to care anymore.

Her nonchalant attitude is frustrating to watch, but she certainly has the right to be indifferent. After all, what does she have to fight for? Everyone is fighting for her favor anyway.

When she returned, the results were already in: the winners were Prince Rong and the young prince. Fang Ruotang accepted it without any surprise, which finally put their anxious hearts at ease.

However, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Wuxia, who looked dejected. She stepped forward, gently tugged at his hand, and whispered, "It's okay, we'll have a grand wedding and a bridal chamber."

Ye Wuxia's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, as if a mannequin body had been infused with a soul and had the demeanor of a real person.

The other five people noticed the two's subtle actions but said nothing.

After all, apart from Huo Zhige, the other four people couldn't learn Ye Wuxia's unique skill.

The young prince was willing to swallow his pride, but unfortunately, he didn't imitate it well enough, and Fang Ruotang didn't buy it.

After the six of them washed up, when they lay down, Fang Ruotang pouted and said somewhat unhappily, "I've already warmed the blankets. Usually, the maids warm them for me."

Prince An's disappointment was somewhat soothed by her innocent appearance, and he chuckled as he replied, "I'll warm you up in bed from now on."

"Okay, then remember that!" Fang Ruotang was extremely satisfied and gave her a sweet smile.
