Chapter 20

Gu Yanling had never encountered such a situation before. He thought he had read a lot of books and illustrations. When he was reading by himself yesterday, he just drank a pot of cold tea at most.

There has never been a situation like today!

Although Gu Yanling is nineteen years old, there has never been anyone in his room. He usually only cares about eating and drinking and has never thought about this.

Not to mention that he is nineteen and still hasn't married, his sister is twenty-four and still hasn't married. She is out and about doing business all day long. If this happened in other wealthy families, it would definitely not be allowed.

His family was quite open-minded. His sister didn't want to be confined to the backyard and insisted on doing business. His mother loved the pair of children very much and hoped that they would be happy and successful. She supported them in everything they did. His father couldn't persuade his mother, so he just let them do what they wanted.

The Gu family was not rich from generation to generation. His father had a business mind and had been running a business since he was seven or eight years old. His mother's family was also a scholarly family. She looked down on his father at first, but his mother liked him, and his father behaved very well every time he went to his grandfather's house, so she finally agreed to the marriage.

His mother was the most educated in the family, and he and his sister probably took after their father, who gave them a headache when it came to studying. His father rose from a poor boy to a wealthy businessman, but unlike other men in the city, he had only his mother. Over the years, his father and mother had lived in perfect harmony, and their relationship was very good. He had been somewhat influenced by them, and he thought that when he got married, he would naturally marry the one he liked.

It’s just that Gu Yanling seemed to have no interest in beautiful girls since he was a child, and he liked to tinker with his messy pills when he had nothing to do.

I never even do anything desecrating on a normal day, but now I'm terrified.

Gu Yanling turned her head and said with a sad face: "Master, what should I do?"

Xiao Xinghan could not help but remain silent. He had not expected this situation to happen. Seeing the other party's dark eyes filled with helplessness, he could only pat his waist to comfort him, "There is a soft couch behind the screen, go get it yourself."

Gu Yanling nodded, stood up obediently, covered the fluttering bird, and ran behind the screen with a hunched back.

Xiao Xinghan felt empty instantly without the person in his arms. He flipped through a few pages in boredom and put the illustrated book on the table. The room was very quiet. He was a martial artist and had excellent hearing, so he could hear any slight sound. But there was no movement behind the screen.

Gu Yanling sat on the couch, feeling very confused. She didn't know where to start. After all, she had only read books and had no practical experience.

Woo woo, the key is that the more anxious I get, the harder it is to calm down.

Xiao Xinghan waited for a while before getting up and walking around the screen: "How—"

Gu Yanling's eyes were now filled with tears, her face flushed red, and she said aggrievedly, "I don't know how to do it."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Xiao Xinghan knew that this guy's thoughts were written all over his face. He was actually the simplest and easiest to understand. So he walked up to him with great compassion and said, "Take off your clothes and do as I say."

Gu Yanling hurriedly threw the round-necked robe onto the couch, took off her panties and put them aside, then looked up at Xiao Xinghan.

Now he is well-behaved and obedient.

Xiao Xinghan glanced at his slender legs. Although his skin color was a little dark, it couldn't hide his well-proportioned, straight and slender legs. It was a very beautiful pair of legs. He quickly averted his gaze and walked to a chair nearby and sat down. "Go upstairs with your hands."

Gu Yanling had nothing in her mind at the moment, only Xiao Xinghan's voice.

Not long after, a thin and rapid breathing sound was heard from the study.

…

Gu Yanling put on her clothes, feeling very embarrassed. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Woohoo, why was he always the one to be embarrassed? According to his thoughts, he should be the one to embarrass Xiao Xinghan at this time!

Xiao Xinghan saw that he had been keeping his head down since he got up from the couch, and he couldn't help but find it funny. He dared to tease others with such a small skill, "Are you still learning?"

Gu Yanling no longer dared to read with him. If this happened again, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's all for today."

Xiao Xinghan didn't make things difficult for him and instructed, "Go wash your hands first, then open the window to ventilate."

Gu Yanling had just wiped herself with a handkerchief, and now she was embarrassed to hear his words. She held the dirty handkerchief in her pocket and said, "Then I'll go wash my hands first."

After saying that, he quickly opened the study door.

Gu Yanling was afraid that Li Youfu would come back suddenly and smell the odor in the house again. He would be too embarrassed to face anyone!

Gu Yanling asked the eunuch in the yard to get him a basin of water. These people thought that he would take over the position of General Manager Li in the future, so they naturally did as he asked. Gu Yanling washed his hands carefully with scented soap in the yard. When he felt that he had washed them enough, he secretly put the water under his nose and smelled it when no one was paying attention. After making sure that there was no smell, he went into the study.

After washing her hands, Gu Yanling was no longer so embarrassed. It was normal to comfort herself!

His hands can not only protect his own bird, but will also protect Xiao Xinghan's hawk in the future!

The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. How can a male concubine be so shameless?

Thinking this way, he not only did not feel embarrassed, but also reflected on his poor performance today. Why did he still need the young master to teach him? He was very unprofessional as a male concubine. However, he was only concerned about himself and did not notice Xiao Xinghan's reaction.

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Yanling found something wrong. It seemed that Xiao Xinghan was very calm from beginning to end.

It shouldn’t be!

Gu Yanling entered the study room full of doubts. Xiao Xinghan had already sat back in the chair beside the desk. Gu Yanling went to open the window first, then walked to Xiao Xinghan's side. This time she did not sit on his lap, but lowered her eyes and secretly looked at his goshawk.

Something is wrong! This is so wrong!

Xiao Xinghan always felt that the scene before his eyes was full of colors: "Go and change this dress."

Gu Yanling: "Master, you don't like it? Then I'll go back and change it."

Xiao Xinghan hummed, "Don't wear these bright colors in the future."

Gu Yanling: "I am also dressing up for the young master."

Xiao Xinghan: "No need to dress up."

Gu Yanling is now the male favorite, and she takes the master's words as her own: "Then I will go back and change my clothes."

Xiao Xinghan: "Yeah."

Before leaving, Gu Yanling took another look at the big bird that Xiao Xinghanyue boasted about, and wondered in her heart, could it be that her clothes today were not good-looking and ruined her mood?

Otherwise, why would the young master ask him to change his clothes? It couldn't be that Xiao Xinghan was impotent, right?

Impotence???

This thought flashed through my mind and could not be shaken off. Could he really be impotent? Otherwise, how could he be so calm?

However, this kind of thing can only be known by trying, and no one can figure it out just by thinking about it. Gu Yanling first went back to the residence to change his clothes. Xiao Xinghan didn't allow him to wear bright clothes. He bought clothes in lake blue, jujube red, and apricot yellow. Fortunately, there was a robe with a splash-ink landscape painting. After putting on the robe, Gu Yanling took out the dirty handkerchief. He originally wanted to throw it away, but couldn't find a suitable place. In the end, he got some water and washed the handkerchief secretly. When he thought of what had just happened in the study, Gu Yanling became a little uneasy.

This is really teaching!

When Gu Yanling came back, Li Youfu was already serving her. He didn't say anything. He found a place in the study and sat there for a while with his chin propped up. Feeling bored, he stood up and left the study.

Xiao Xinghan was no longer surprised by his active nature, so he ignored him and asked Li Youfu to grind the ink while he picked up the pen to write back.

Gu Yanling walked around the mansion and stopped in front of a bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze, and the shadows of the bamboos were cast on the wall of sunlight. Literati and elegant people loved this kind of scenery the most. Gu Yanling was not well-educated, so he could not be like those literati who were inspired to write poetry anytime and anywhere.

Soon Gu Yanling picked some bamboo leaves and sat on a stone block nearby.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Yanling stood up and hummed a cheerful tune as she returned to Xiao Xinghan's residence. This time, she did not enter directly from the door, but walked around to the window and leaned halfway out, "Master!"

Xiao Xinghan put down the book and saw him placing a grasshopper woven from bamboo leaves on his desk.

Gu Yanling smiled and said, "This is for you."

Xiao Xinghan: "Did you make that up?"

Gu Yanling was not at all modest and said proudly, "Of course, I can also do bamboo carving."

He’s not so good at bamboo carving, but he’s really good at weaving!

Xiao Xinghan picked up the grasshopper he had woven and looked at it. It was indeed lifelike. "Yes."

Gu Yanling was so flattered by the praise that he tried to climb into the study through the window. Xiao Xinghan noticed his move and put his finger on his forehead to stop him. "How shameless!"

After Gu Yanling stood up straight outside the window, he pushed the door of the study and came in in an orderly manner. Li Youfu had just witnessed his interaction with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now he really had to believe that he had really risen to the top.

When has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever been so indulgent and affectionate to anyone?

Gu Yanling walked over to Li Youfu and said, "Make way."

Li Youfu naturally made room for him. Gu Yanling unabashedly put her arms around Xiao Xinghan's neck from behind, controlling the male's strength perfectly: "Master, is it time for dinner?"

Xiao Xinghan glanced at Li Youfu. Li Youfu received instructions from His Highness, retreated from the study, and led the young eunuchs to prepare.

Gu Yanling was still thinking, "Master, will you go to the birthday party for the prefect's mother?"

Xiao Xinghan: "Why? You want to go?"

Gu Yanling had become accustomed to Xiao Xinghan not directly answering her questions all day long. "Why should I go? What does his mother's birthday have to do with me?"

Xiao Xinghan: "From what you said, it seems like you have a lot of complaints about your prefect?"

Gu Yanling didn't dare to be too obvious and buried her head in Xiao Xinghan's shoulder, "Master, please don't talk nonsense. I didn't do that."

Xiao Xinghan raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck: "You're not standing properly. What will happen if someone sees you?"

Gu Yanling shuddered unconsciously when being pinched. Xiao Xinghan hadn't expected his neck to be so sensitive. He paused and withdrew his hand. Gu Yanling got up from his shoulder and said, "There's no one else here."

He was tired of saying the word "hypocritical".

Xiao Xinghan stood up and took a few steps. Seeing Gu Yanling still standing there, he asked, "Why aren't you following me?"

Gu Yanling started to act pretentiously again: "Master, please leave first. I'll go later to avoid being seen by others."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Xiao Xinghan was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to the front hall. Gu Yanling was deliberately lingering in the study. As soon as he left, he immediately opened the drawer, but there was nothing inside.

That’s right, if there really was something, they wouldn’t leave her alone. Thinking that they would avoid her whenever they talked about something, Gu Yanling snorted and left the study.

In the front hall, the meal had been placed on the table and Li Youfu was serving the dishes. Seeing him coming, he hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should let him serve him. Then he saw Gu Yanling sitting directly next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Youfu: “…”

Gu Yanling: "What's the matter?"

He is no longer a servant now, he is already a male concubine. Do you still want him to serve you at meals?

That male concubine's life is too miserable, isn't it? Not only does he serve her in bed, but he also serves her outside the bed!

Li Youfu had no choice but to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiao Xinghan: "Get another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Gu Yanling thought that was more or less the same, and said to Li Youfu, "Did you hear that?"

Li Youfu instructed the eunuch beside him to take the bowls and plates and place them in front of Gu Yanling. Gu Yanling waved her hand and said, "No need to wait on me. I can do it myself."

Gu Yanling didn't want to taste every dish, and he didn't like some of them. So when he ate, he would pick out the ones he liked. So he used long chopsticks to pick up some that looked good for himself.

Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything and continued to eat his meal slowly. Gu Yanling tasted the food and put some on Xiao Xinghan's plate. Seeing Xiao Xinghan pick up his chopsticks and eat, she was very satisfied.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Xinghan left the front hall. After Gu Yanling waited for Li Youfu to have the food on the table cleared, she called him over and said, "Youfu, come here. I have something to ask you."

Li Youfu: “…”

Gu Yanling: "You already know the relationship between me and the young master, and you also see that the young master dotes on me very much."

Li Youfu thought he was trying to show off his status, and he quickly apologized to him for the humiliation he had caused him: "I was wrong before, please forgive me."

Gu Yanling: "I'm not going to tell you this. That's your responsibility. I'm a magnanimous person and I won't argue with you."

Li Youfu knew that he must be asking something when he heard him say that, and sure enough -

"What did the young master ask you to prepare? Is it a birthday gift for the prefect's mother? How are your preparations? And why did the prefect invite the young master? Does our young master also hold an official position? I know that our young master is definitely not an ordinary person."

Li Youfu naturally had no comment: "If you want to know, you should ask the young master."

Gu Yanling also knew that he wouldn't say it, "What's the big deal? If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'll know sooner or later!"

Li Youfu thought to himself that it was better for you not to know His Highness's identity. If you knew, how could you dare to be so presumptuous?

Gu Yanling left with her hands behind her back and walked over to Xiao Xinghan: "Master, why are you in the study all day long? Aren't you afraid of getting moldy?"

Xiao Xinghan didn't even raise his eyes: "What did you find out from Li Youfu?"

Seeing him looking at the illustrated book, Gu Yanling looked so indifferent that no one could guess that he was reading something improper. "Master, are you reading by yourself?"

Xiao Xinghan: "Why, you want to follow me?"

Gu Yanling's eyes fell subconsciously for a moment, and she waved her hands: "No, no, I've already seen it once."

Xiao Xinghan ignored him. Gu Yanling had forgotten that he was illiterate. Out of boredom, he took a notebook and sat on a chair not far away to flip through it. He had originally wanted to kill time, but he was so engrossed in reading that when he realized that a dark shadow was covering him and blocking the light, he looked up and met Xiao Xinghan's gaze.

"Is the miscellany interesting? Are there pictures in it?"

“…”

Gu Yanling covered her face with the book guiltily: "I can read, but not many."

Xiao Xinghan took away the book that was covering his face and looked down at him condescendingly: "You don't tell a single truth."

Gu Yanling hugged Xiao Xinghan's waist and admitted her mistake coquettishly: "Master, I was wrong. I will never lie again."

Li Youfu saw this scene as soon as he came in. Before he could even turn his head, he had already stepped back, left the study, and closed the door gently.

Gu Yanling didn't hear any movement. She looked up at Xiao Xinghan and admitted her mistake again: "Master, I was wrong."

Xiao Xinghan looked at him quietly for a moment before saying, "This won't happen again."

Gu Yanling promised: "It won't happen again! It definitely won't happen again!"

Xiao Xinghan: "How long do you want to hold me?"

Only then did Gu Yanling loosen her arms around his waist and considerately smoothed down his wrinkled robe.

In the evening, Xiao Xinghan went to take a bath. Gu Yanling followed him without a second thought and even drove Li Youfu out. "I'll serve the young master. You wait outside."

Li Youfu heard the eagerness in his tone and thought that this kind of service was not what he was supposed to do, so he closed the bathroom door.

Xiao Xinghan was already soaking in the pool. Gu Yanling took off all her clothes and went into the water as well. She moved quietly to his side. Xiao Xinghan quickly clamped his outstretched hand, without saying a word, and looked at him indifferently.

Gu Yanling's little face was damp from the steam, and she unconsciously licked her lips with her tongue: "Let me touch you, Master."

Xiao Xinghan certainly knew what he was going to touch: "No need."

Gu Yanling: “…”

No way!

It's not really impotence, right?!

Otherwise, why would you reject him again and again?

Gu Yanling didn't dare to ask, as it would hurt her self-esteem. Thinking about how Xiao Xinghan was such a big bird that was useless, she couldn't help but feel a little proud of her own little bird. At least it was in high spirits today!

Gu Yanling sat across from Xiao Xinghan. He had already washed himself in the restaurant today, so he just wiped himself with a towel. He couldn't help but feel a little tentative. Sometimes, impotence also depends on the situation. "Master, let me wipe you down."

Xiao Xinghan said, "Go out after you're done washing, and let Li Youfu in."

Gu Yanling curled her lips and asked, "Young Master, why did you ask Li Youfu to serve you and not me?"

Xiao Xinghan: "You can't serve well."

Gu Yanling didn't know what kind of service this was. Bathing and shampooing were not things he was very good at, and the service he was talking about was even more inexperienced. Thinking about it this way, he really couldn't serve well. He got up from the water, put on his clothes, opened the door, and said to Li Youfu outside, "Young Master asked you to come in and serve."

Li Youfu: “…”

Gu Yanling went out and went straight to Xiao Xinghan's bedroom. She took a look at the sachet hanging on the curtain hook, took off her shoes, climbed onto Xiao Xinghan's bed, and the bed curtains fell.

Not to mention, Xiao Xinghan's bed was big and comfortable, and the sheets were as smooth as water. His big bed at home was not as comfortable as this, not to mention his servants' room. Gu Yanling lifted the quilt and lay down in it without hesitation.

After taking a shower, it’s so comfortable to lie on such a big bed!

When Xiao Xinghan came in, he noticed the shoes placed on the footrest. Li Youfu naturally saw it as well, and he knew who was lying inside without having to guess.

Gu Yanling fell asleep early. He originally wanted to wait for Xiao Xinghan to come back, but the bed was too comfortable. He hadn't been sleeping well recently, so as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep in a short while.

Li Youfu retreated outside to guard. Xiao Xinghan sat on the bed and saw that half of Gu Yanling's face was hidden in the quilt, and her eyelashes trembled with her breathing. She really didn't treat herself as an outsider and slept so soundly in his bed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wanted to sleep, so he reached out and pinched Gu Yanling's nose rudely, and soon the other party opened his eyes reluctantly.

Gu Yanling looked at Xiao Xinghan blankly, raised her hand to scratch her face, and closed her eyes again.

“…”

Xiao Xinghan had no choice but to reach out and gently pinch Gu Yanling's little face. When she opened her eyes again, he said, "Who allowed you to sleep here?"

Gu Yanling was extremely sleepy. She took his hand away and rolled inside. With her back to him, she muttered, "Why are you so stingy? The bed is so big and I don't take up any space."

Seeing that he refused to leave no matter what, Xiao Xinghan warned him, "If you dare to move, I will throw you out."

Gu Yanling was half asleep and nodded perfunctorily when she heard this.

The bed was big, and Gu Yanling didn't take up much space. However, not long after Xiao Xinghan lay down, Gu Yanling rolled over and kept squeezing onto Xiao Xinghan's pillow.

Xiao Xinghan: "Get out."

Yuxi Dui

Gu Yanling directly arched her head into the crook of his neck, closed her eyes and began to whimper: "I can't sleep well without a pillow."

The thought that Xiao Xinghan had at this moment was when did his temper become so good?

Not only did he not throw the person off the bed, but someone also rolled the pillow away. Xiao Xinghan sat up with a sullen face and lifted the bed curtains: "Li Youfu."

Li Youfu was keeping watch behind the screen. When he heard his master's unhappy tone, his heart jumped and he quickly walked in.

"Bring me another pillow."

Li Youfu's heart trembled: "I will go right away."

There was one in the carved wooden cabinet in the bedroom. Li Youfu quickly opened the cabinet door and took out the pillow. He lowered his head and did not look inside the bed. He presented the soft pillow with both hands. Xiao Xinghan took it and closed the bed curtain.

Li Youfu tiptoed out of the inner room.

Fortunately, Gu Yanling only made a fuss for a short while and slept soundly all night until dawn. However, Xiao Xinghan was not used to having him in the bed and did not sleep well.

Early the next morning, Gu Yanling felt refreshed. She turned her head and saw Xiao Xinghan's profile. Only then did she slowly remember what happened last night.

He actually slept in the same bed with Xiao Xinghan all night! !

But nothing happened, which further confirmed that Xiao Xinghan was impotent!

Then how can he still be a male concubine? How can he still influence someone else's pillow?

Xiao Xinghan couldn't help but get erect!

Gu Yanling came to Xiao Xinghan's side and said, "Master."

Xiao Xinghan had woken up a long time ago, and no one was too lazy to pay attention to him. Who knew that this guy would start to toss and turn as soon as he woke up? Gu Yanling pretended to raise her leg inadvertently, and when her knee touched Xiao Xinghan's big bird that had just woken up early in the morning, she immediately retracted her leg.

Haha, misunderstanding, it’s really a misunderstanding.

This is so inspiring!!!

Gu Yanling rolled silently into the bed, not daring to act rashly again. Her knees were burning.

Xiao Xinghan lifted the brocade quilt and sat up. It's not that he didn't notice Gu Yanling's little action, but he really didn't have any other thoughts about her and didn't plan to have him.

It would be amusing to keep someone like him around.

Li Youfu led the servants in. He specially prepared toiletries for Gu Yanling, as if he had treated Gu Yanling as half a master. Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything.

Gu Yanling was a little absent-minded. She was still thinking until the end of the meal. Since Xiao Xinghan was not impotent, why was he indifferent to her?

He couldn't figure it out himself, so he had to leave the house again.

Yingxia couldn't help but feel puzzled when she heard this. She remained indifferent even when the person she liked threw himself into her arms. "Could it be that he is a gentleman?"

Gu Yanling snorted to express her disdain.

Yingxia: "That's strange. Even if he's a gentleman, if he really likes someone, he wouldn't remain indifferent. Is that possible?"

Gu Yanling immediately shook her head: "I thought so at first. This morning, I woke up... My friend woke up and accidentally bumped his knee. It was like a rock, even harder than iron! It can't be taken anymore!"

Yingxia: "Nothing happened when we slept together?"

Gu Yanling nodded.

Yingxia: "We met and nothing happened?"

Gu Yanling nodded again.

Yingxia looked at Gu Yanling's face and said, "Sir, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't. I'm just guessing. If you think it's wrong, don't get angry. Just think of it as me saying something."

Gu Yanling: "Just say it."

Yingxia: "You, your friend's lover is only after money, not your friend as a person?"

Gu Yanling didn't know that the other party already knew that this friend was her. "My friend doesn't have any family background, so a lover doesn't need that."

Yingxia shook her head. "That's strange. Even if he's truly a gentleman who can remain calm in the face of temptation, that doesn't make sense. If he truly loves someone, he wouldn't refuse and remain indifferent."

Gu Yanling understood the meaning behind his words: "You mean the other person doesn't like me... my friend?"

"Impossible, he admitted it himself. Besides, if he didn't like it, would he let me, my best friend, bathe with him? Eat with him? Sleep with him?"

Yingxia said helplessly, "I really can't think of any other possibilities. Why don't you talk to your friend and ask him what he thinks? Guessing all this time is no solution."

Gu Yanling just didn't want to ask, as he seemed impatient. After coming out of Nanfeng Pavilion, he didn't go out. Unlike Xiao Xinghan who stayed in the study all day, he liked to hang out outside. When passing by West Street, he suddenly stopped and hurriedly hid in a corner to look.

He said that the group of people were definitely protected by the government, otherwise why would they be released now and enter the casino in broad daylight.

Gu Yanling had good eyesight. The person who just entered was the leader of the gangsters that day. He was kicked away by Xiao Xinghan. He still had a wound on his face and was limping.

Gu Yanling waited outside for a long time, but no one came out. The other party recognized him and called him Little Black Loach. He didn't dare to go in and ask, so he had to go back first.

"Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Xinghan was practicing calligraphy in his study when he saw Gu Yanling rushing in. "Why are you so impatient?"

Gu Yanling took the purple hair brush aside and said, "Master, do you know who I saw on the street just now?"

Xiao Xinghan saw that his face was serious and there was sweat on his forehead, so he knew he had run over. He asked Li Youfu to bring a handkerchief over and asked, "Who did you see?"

Gu Yanling didn't take the handkerchief. "The guy who collected our toll on the island that day, the one who called me Little Black Loach, wasn't he handed over to the government? How come he was released so soon?"

Xiao Xinghan took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

Gu Yanling: "Seriously, I have good eyesight. I think he went into a casino. I waited outside for a long time, not daring to act rashly, so I came here to tell you."

Xiao Xinghan said to Li Youfu, "Let Chang Feng check it out."

Gu Yanling was very positive about this matter: "I'll go, I'll go talk to Brother Chang Feng!"

Without waiting for Xiao Xinghan to speak, he ran away again.

Seeing that everyone had run away, Li Youfu had no choice but to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiao Xinghan: "Let him be."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued to practice calligraphy, and Li Youfu stood aside grinding ink.

-

Gu Yanling searched around before finding Chang Feng: "Brother Chang Feng, you made me look for you for so long, something terrible has happened!"

Chang Feng saw him in a hurry: "What's the big deal? But Master——"

Gu Yanling hurriedly recounted what she had seen, "Young Master asked you to check it out."

Chang Feng also became serious after hearing this, "Tell the young master that I'm going to the government office right now."

Gu Yanling: "I'll go with you."

Chang Feng: "Don't go. You did a good job today and didn't act rashly. You should do the same in the future."

Gu Yanling: "I've already said that I'm very cautious. I know what's right and what's wrong. I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

"You really won't take me with you?"

Chang Feng: "The government office is not a fun place. You should go and serve the young master."

Gu Yanling: "Okay then, remember to tell me if you find anything."

Chang Feng: “Yeah.”

Gu Yanling went back to the study and saw Xiao Xinghan still practicing calligraphy. He asked Li Youfu to move over so he could grind ink for Xiao Xinghan. "Young Master, do you think that criminal is in cahoots with the government? Otherwise, why were they released so soon?"

Xiao Xinghan: "Let Chang Feng take a look first."

Gu Yanling was about to say something, but Xiao Xinghan spoke before him: "What were you doing outside all day?"

Gu Yanling didn't expect that he would ask her what she did when she went out. She never asked before. Li Youfu received Gu Yanling's gaze, bowed and left the study, closing the door.

"I went to Nanfeng Pavilion."

Xiao Xinghan put down the purple hair. Gu Yanling met Xiao Xinghan's gaze and cleared her throat. "Young Master, why don't you ask me what I'm going to do?"

Xiao Xinghan: "No matter what you do, you are not allowed to go there anymore."

Gu Yanling couldn't hide the truth: "I just wanted to ask why the young master remained indifferent even though I threw myself into his arms."

Xiao Xinghan: "What did you find out?"

Gu Yanling: "The other party said that the young master doesn't like me!"

Xiao Xinghan: "What do you think?"

Gu Yanling: "Of course I think he's talking bullshit!"

Xiao Xinghan listened to his vulgar words: "..."

Gu Yanling: "How can I not feel whether the young master likes me or not?"

Xiao Xinghan looked at his confident expression and asked, "If you really feel that way, then why do you need to ask again?"

Gu Yanling felt that she was not stupid and had a smart mind, but she felt that Xiao Xinghan's words were like riddles every day, and his attitude was also so unpredictable. "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Xinghan: "I want to go."

Gu Yanling snorted and thought to himself that he was too lazy to think about it. He was only concerned about whether Chang Feng could find out something at the yamen. He put down the ink stick and went to wash his hands.

Xiao Xinghan: "Come here."

Gu Yanling: "What does the young master want me to do?"

Xiao Xinghan: "Write a few words for me to see."

Gu Yanling walked up to him and took a look at his handwriting. This time he was self-aware and thought to himself that he should not embarrass himself. The teacher always shook his head when teaching him.

“My handwriting is not good.”

Xiao Xinghan: "You're still modest sometimes."

Gu Yanling heard his joke, rolled her eyes, and slipped under his arm, squeezing between Xiao Xinghan and the desk. She picked up the purple hair brush and said with a smile, "Then Master, please teach me how to write."

Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything. He held his hand and wrote the word "Yuanbao" on the clean rice paper.

Gu Yanling thought that if the teacher saw this calligraphy, he would definitely praise it!

"Master, I don't even know your name."

Gu Yanling turned her head to look at Xiao Xinghan, her eyes sparkling with a smile.

Xiao Xinghan held his hand and wrote next to the ingot - Sheng Yao.

Not many people in the world know his courtesy name, so it’s okay to tell Gu Yanling.

Gu Yanling read it again: "Sheng Yao."

Xiao Xinghan let go of his hand: "Write it yourself."

Gu Yanling: "These two characters are a bit difficult to write. They are not as easy to write as my Yuanbao."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling half-lay on the table, drew a gold ingot on the paper, and drew a sun next to it, smiling with great pride, "Master, look!"

Xiao Xinghan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gu Yanling wrote Xiao Xinghan's name again and put the purple hair brush on the shelf beside her. "Oh, my wrist is sore from writing."

Xiao Xinghan suddenly said, "Practice calligraphy for an hour every day from now on."

Gu Yanling: “???”

Xiao Xinghan: "Calm down your impulsive temper."

Gu Yanling hated reading and writing. He asked Xiao Xinghan to teach him calligraphy, which was just for fun, and asked him to practice calligraphy for an hour every day. "Then you might as well kill me!"

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling argued confidently, "I won't write. I'm the young master's male concubine, not his retainer. I've never heard of any male concubine practicing calligraphy! Other male concubines practice their skills in bed!"

Xiao Xinghan looked at him with an expression that seemed to be asking him to practice calligraphy or to kill him.

He needs to be taught how to masturbate and masturbate, yet he is so confident and shouts about practicing his bed skills.

With your sesame-sized courage and brain, can you understand it?

Gu Yanling was about to say something when Li Youfu came in to report that Chang Feng had returned from the yamen.

Gu Yanling didn't care about practicing calligraphy. When Chang Feng came in, she asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Chang Feng glanced at Gu Yanling, shook his head, and reported to Xiao Xinghan, "I went to the government office and waited for about an incense stick of time. The Yangzhou prefect came and personally led me to the prison."

Chang Feng paused and said, "They are indeed all detained in the prison."

Gu Yanling curled her lips: "Impossible, I saw it clearly, they must have gone to see you, and they took the person back."

Chang Feng: "This is just speculation, there is no evidence."

Gu Yanling also knew that this was indeed the case, and besides, this one incident alone did not prove anything.

After Chang Feng and Li Youfu left, Xiao Xinghan looked at Gu Yanling.

Gu Yanling snorted: "Young Master doesn't believe it either. Do you think I saw it wrong?"

Xiao Xinghan: "What did I say?"

Gu Yanling: "Do you believe me?"

Xiao Xinghan: "Everything depends on evidence."

Gu Yanling: "Be careful not to let me catch you, or I'll see you again next time—"

Xiao Xinghan said calmly, "If it's really as you said, they should be staying in jail for the time being. There's no chance for you to catch them again."

When Gu Yanling heard his words, her expression changed immediately and she hugged Xiao Xinghan's waist, "Master, I know you believe me."

Xiao Xinghan: "Really? Wasn't it when you just gave me the cold shoulder?"

Gu Yanling: "No way, how dare I? I'm just a little male favorite, how dare I show my disdain to the young master? I always obey the young master's orders, I dare not say anything against the young master's words!"

Xiao Xinghan: "In that case, practice calligraphy for an hour every day."

Gu Yanling: “…”
