With the Crown Prince's warm and soft body in his arms, although he couldn't immediately get Xiao Liu to agree to marry him, it didn't affect their intimacy.

However, Fang Ruotang turned her back on him and started excitedly asking Xiao Jingzi for points. She even pushed away the big head of the Crown Prince who was leaning in, thinking he was in the way.

The Crown Prince, helpless yet doting, held Fang Ruotang close, gently cradling her in his arms. After she and Xiao Jingzi finished discussing the points, he calmed his physical urges.

"A new batch of jewelry has arrived at Jin Yu Man Tang. The people downstairs say it's quite nice. I'll take you to see it. Is there anything you like?"

"OK!"

Fang Ruotang had just gotten a lot of money from Xiao Jingzi and was very happy at the moment.

The two left the mansion and boarded a carriage.

On the carriage, the Crown Prince couldn't help but kiss Fang Ruotang again.

After all, he was a twenty-year-old young man, and it was his first time experiencing a woman. Once he set this precedent, even the most indifferent person would become like a mad dog in heat, wanting to hold her in their mouth at all times.

The Crown Prince is in this situation. In his eyes, Fang Ruotang is like a bone, while he is a vicious dog that has not eaten for many days and wants to devour her whole.

"I'll ask Father to issue an imperial decree to grant us this marriage, shall I?" The Crown Prince buried his face in Fang Ruotang's neck, nuzzling her high nose, and asked again, unwilling to give up.

Before Fang Ruotang could speak, Xiao Jingzi screamed.

No, no, absolutely not.

Why not?

[If you marry the Crown Prince, you'll become the Crown Princess. What will happen to Prince An and the others? As the wife of a Vice Minister, they might dare to seduce you and have affairs, since others are of higher status than Vice Minister Ye. But as the Crown Princess, the future Empress, will they not value their lives, or even their entire families? Who would dare to seduce you again? How will you complete your mission then?]

The crown prince's gaze darkened.

He had forgotten the purpose of this artifact spirit.

She would try to match him up with Xiao Liu, and she would also try to match Xiao Liu up with other people.

The Crown Prince was as calm and collected as an ancient well since childhood, and few people or things could arouse his emotions, but this would make him feel irritable and somewhat frantic.

Why is this spirit so fickle? Can't it just try to match him up with Xiao Liu?

Who are the others? Do they have as much power as him? Are they as good to Xiao Liu as he is?

Can't I just do missions with my brother, the Crown Prince?

[You've broadened your horizons. Have you forgotten those storybooks I showed you? One is too few, two aren't enough, three, four, five, or six are just right.]

Little Mirror relentlessly encouraged him.

He had no idea that his master wanted to kill him.

[The Crown Prince is destined to ascend the throne and will be very busy with state affairs, so he won't be able to spend every day with you. But if you add the other five people, even if they are busy, one of them will still find time to be with you, so you won't be lonely, right?]

The little mirror is no longer the little mirror of yesterday; it's now a master of brainwashing.

Besides, if you don't agree, I really won't give you anything anymore. I mean what I say. If you force me, I'll kill myself.

The little mirror was causing a ruckus in Fang Ruotang's mind.

Fang Ruotang secretly glanced at the Crown Prince and saw that his face was dark and he looked unhappy, so she leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Crown Prince, have you forgotten? I'm not getting married."

The Crown Prince looked at Fang Ruotang with a deep gaze.

She just gave in.

He could tell.

If it weren't for Xiao Jingzi's interference, he believed that given time, Xiao Liu would marry him and become his personal Crown Princess.

"Crown Prince, are you unhappy?"

Fang Ruotang looked at the Crown Prince anxiously, and the Crown Prince immediately composed himself.

"No, I'm just a little sad."

He couldn't bear to blame Fang Ruotang; she was still young, what could she possibly understand!

She was corrupted by the little mirror; otherwise, she would never have had such unconventional ideas and would definitely have become his personal crown princess.

He hadn't forgotten how resistant Xiao Liu was to doing these tasks and how opposed she was to being involved with all six of them at the same time when he first heard her thoughts.

"Don't be upset. I am a fairy, and I have the responsibility to save all living beings. I cannot marry." Fang Ruotang kissed the prince's cheek like a woodpecker.

The crown prince was helpless. These lies were so easy to tell, but he didn't want to miss out on this freebie. He touched his thin lips.

"Kiss me here, and I won't be sad anymore."

Fang Ruotang pouted her red lips and pressed them against the prince's. The prince immediately grabbed her waist, taking the initiative and looking as if he wanted to devour her whole.

When the two got off the carriage, Fang Ruotang's red lips were already swollen, so she had to put on a veil, which annoyed her so much that she grabbed the prince's side waist hard.

The prince wasn't in pain; she couldn't twist the firm muscles in his waist at all, and her small hands were being held by the prince, so she couldn't pull them out.

The two picked out a few new pieces of jewelry at Jin Yu Man Tang, and then the Crown Prince took Fang Ruotang to have a meal. As soon as they arrived at the private room, they heard a sound coming from next door.

"Ha! The Tan family claims to be a respectable family, but their daughter is nothing but a slut, not a virgin on her wedding night." The man's drunken voice was filled with ferocious hatred. "The Tan family is shameless, actually shoving such a piece of trash into my hands. Do they think I'd swallow this insult in silence?"

"Brother Shao, tell me the details?" another man's excited voice rang out, clearly enjoying the spectacle. Several more voices joined in the jeering.

The man surnamed Shao was clearly drunk, and in his drunken state, he vented all his pent-up frustrations, cursing the Tan family girl, who was also his newlywed wife, with foul language.

"This guy surnamed Tan is so slutty, how about we guys have some fun with him?"

Suddenly, an extremely lewd male voice rang out.

Fang Ruotang, who was eavesdropping, frowned uncomfortably.

"Fine! Come on, all of you come to my house now. I'll make her kneel down and serve you one by one. Anyway, she's a shameless bitch. The Tan family dared to cheat me, so I'll make their daughter a prostitute who's ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand men."

"Let's go, let's go!"

A group of drunk people, full of malice and audacity.

Fang Ruotang suddenly lost her appetite. Seeing her tense little face and unhappy expression, the Crown Prince raised his hand and tapped her between the eyebrows.

"Young lady, you mustn't frown. If you're not happy, I'll have someone stop you."

"Okay, have someone keep an eye on things, just in case something really happens. I'll ask Xiao Jingzi what's going on."

Fang Ruotang was so focused on eavesdropping that she even held her breath and forgot that she had a knowledgeable friend who knew everything about the past and present. She immediately summoned the little mirror in her mind.

[Tan Yuyao simply didn't bleed on her wedding night.]

[So...did she lose her virginity before marriage?]

Fang Ruotang cautiously inquired, and upon receiving a negative answer, she immediately complained to the Crown Prince in an indignant tone.

"I just asked Xiao Jingzi, and Miss Tan did not lose her virginity before marriage at all. That man surnamed Shao is so unreasonable, how could he bully a new bride like this?"

The crown prince flicked his finger.

Hearing the spirit's words, he didn't understand why there was no bleeding even though he hadn't lost his virginity, but there must be some things he didn't know about.
