Chapter 31

The plays in the theater were all about love stories between poor scholars and rich ladies, which were really boring to watch.

Gu Yanling sat on Xiao Xinghan's lap, feeding him wine while saying, "It's the same old drama every time. There's nothing new. I think the writers of these stories are probably poor scholars who spend all day imagining things."

Xiao Xinghan remained silent.

Gu Yanling's eyes rolled and he laughed heartily: "Master, how about I write our story into a storybook and have someone act it out? It will definitely be much more interesting than this."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling: "Master, what do you think?"

Xiao Xinghan fed him a chestnut: "Not very good."

Gu Yanling just said it casually, but when she saw Xiao Xinghan disagreed, she chewed the chestnut and swallowed it, then asked, "Why?"

Xiao Xinghan raised his hand and wiped the wine from the corner of Gu Yanling's lips: "This is a proper theater."

After Gu Yanling realized what was happening, she pushed him away unhappily, "Young Master, you are not serious. I don't know how serious I am."

After saying this, the serious person passed the wine with his mouth, kissed the non-serious person for a long time, and finally sighed: "It seems that these are indeed things that cannot be performed on stage."

Xiao Xinghan: "That's good to know."

After the two of them had some fun in the private room, it was getting dark, so they tidied up their clothes and left.

Gu Yanling likes to play outside and doesn't want to go back: "Master."

Xiao Xinghan saw his intention: "Playful."

Gu Yanling: "It's so boring to be in the city all day. Why don't we go to the suburbs for a few days? There are cold springs over there, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. We can also go horseback riding. I haven't ridden in a long time. Let's go."

Seeing his expectant look, Xiao Xinghan said, "Go back and ask Li Youfu to prepare. We'll set off tomorrow."

Gu Yanling happily kissed Xiao Xinghan on the mouth.

It just so happened that Gu Qifu passed by. Seeing this scene, he shook his head without hesitation, his face full of disgust. The servant following behind him smiled awkwardly and nodded to apologize.

Gu Yanling wanted to give it a try, so she shrilled and said delicately, "Master, what was that man's expression just now? Did he think that I'm not worthy of you?"

Xiao Xinghan: "...Speak properly."

Seeing that his father didn't even turn around, Gu Yanling really didn't recognize him. He felt relieved. After the man left, he returned to normal and said with a chuckle, "Let's go back and let Li Youfu prepare. We can still take a cold bath when the time comes. It's getting warmer now."

Xiao Xinghan: "Yeah."

When he came back, Li Youfu was stunned when he saw the jade pendant on Gu Yanling's waist. The jade pendant was of great significance. It was engraved with the prince's birth date and had been blessed by the imperial master. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been wearing it since he was a child.

Now that His Highness has given the jade pendant to Gu Yanling, it can be seen how much he cares about her.

How could Gu Yanling know all this? The birth date and time were too small, so he didn't even look at it carefully. He was just thinking about going out to play tomorrow. "Youfu, I want to go to the manor in the suburbs with the young master for two days. Please ask someone to prepare and we will leave tomorrow."

Li Youfu: "Yes."

That evening, Gu Yanling originally wanted to take a bath with Xiao Xinghan, but suddenly remembered that he said the pills were almost gone. After hesitating for a while, she retracted her foot and pressed the little parrot's head: "Do you think he will come to see me tonight?"

The parrot's head was pressed down like a quail.

Gu Yanling didn't expect it to agree with her, and said to herself: "If he really comes to find me, then I can't hide anymore, right?"

"It's no big deal. I've been stuffing myself with pills for so many days."

"I think he's quite considerate. He's so patient and has given me so many days to prepare."

"Forget it, I'm going to die anyway! The sooner I die, the sooner I'll be free!"

The little parrot just listened to him chattering and then left tragically like a hero cutting his wrists. Then he spoke: "Coo, coo."

When Gu Yanling arrived, Xiao Xinghan had already finished his shower and didn't say anything when he saw him coming.

Gu Yanling pretended nothing happened: "I'll take a shower."

Xiao Xinghan hummed, "Rest early after washing up, as you have to get up early tomorrow."

Seeing him leave like that after saying that, Gu Yanling scratched her face. "Isn't it better to do it today than today? He's already here! Why is he so rude?"

Could it be a case of playing hard to get?

After Gu Yanling finished showering, she dried her hair and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. After all, Xiao Xinghan loved to show off. So after drying her hair until it was half dry, she casually spread it behind her and went straight to Xiao Xinghan's bedroom.

When Li Youfu saw him coming, he signaled with his eyes to the servant guarding behind the screen to follow him out of the bedroom.

Gu Yanling opened the bed curtains, quickly climbed onto the bed, cleared her throat and reminded him, "Master, I'm coming."

Xiao Xinghan was about to go to sleep, but when he saw him coming, he had no choice but to sit up and look at him: "?"

Gu Yanling took off her underwear in one go and threw it aside, then lay down on the bed with a determined look on her face.

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling didn't hear any movement, so she turned to look at Xiao Xinghan with a puzzled look on her face: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Xinghan, sitting beside him, was amused by his expression. He raised his hand and rubbed his butt. He felt that the touch was really good, so he kept covering it and asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yanling: "Didn't the young master say that choosing a day is worse than choosing a day?"

Xiao Xinghan held him on his lap and said, "Are you ready? Are you not afraid anymore?"

She was still a little scared, but how could she hide like this just to persuade someone? Gu Yanling whispered, "Master, hurry up. Don't you have to get up early tomorrow to go play in the suburbs?"

Xiao Xinghan's hand moved to Gu Yanling's waist and pinched it gently, "Stupid."

Gu Yanling glared at him dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Xinghan let him go: "Alright, put on your clothes and go back to rest."

Gu Yanling saw that he had come right to her, but the other party actually became reserved and stared at him with her big eyes.

Seeing that he was really stupid, Xiao Xinghan said, "If you still want to go out and play tomorrow, then go back honestly and don't bother me."

What do you mean? Even if Xiao Xinghan comes twice as usual, there is still plenty of time. After finishing the job, he can sleep and go out the next day. Isn't it said that after applying the medicine, he won't get hurt.

Xiao Xinghan knew that he didn't understand, but he also thought that he looked a little cute, so he patiently explained to him: "After doing it today, you must rest carefully tomorrow and can't go anywhere."

Gu Yanling didn't believe it: "How is that possible? The waiters at the Nanfeng Pavilion never rest, as I've seen them do."

Xiao Xinghan: "Then you can experience it yourself."

Gu Yanling hurriedly picked up her clothes and said, "I'm leaving now. I'm leaving now. When I come back... should I still apply the medicine? If I don't apply the medicine for two days, I'm afraid it won't work."

Xiao Xinghan saw that he was really cautious, and the reason was still fear, so he patted his moon back and said, "Come here."

Gu Yanling didn't think much about it and obediently lay on his legs. Xiao Xinghan took out a new bottle from under the pillow and opened it, but this time when Xiao Xinghan placed the medicine, he didn't leave in a hurry.

Gu Yanling just felt weird: "Master, what are you doing?"

Xiao Xinghan ignored him and inserted a finger inside to scratch it.

After a while, Gu Yanling started crying.

"Are you comfortable?"

It was the first time that Gu Yanling experienced this feeling. She felt awkward and had an indescribable feeling. She nodded and shook her head.

I was extremely anxious, but I didn't know what I was anxious about.

I don’t know what Xiao Xinghan touched.

Gu Yanling suddenly cried out softly and came out trembling.

Xiao Xinghan chuckled and wiped the index and middle fingers of his right hand with Gu Yanling's underwear: "It looks very comfortable."

Gu Yanling was extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Xinghan waited for him to calm down for a while before getting up to wash his hands. He asked someone to come in and change the sheets. Gu Yanling hid in the bed curtains and refused to come out.

Xiao Xinghan covered his head with the robe he was going to wear tomorrow, wrapped him up tightly and carried him to the couch in the room.

Li Youfu was no longer surprised. He ordered the eunuch to quickly tidy up the bed and asked someone to go to the west wing to get another set of clean underwear. After all, he saw that Gu Yanling's clothes were wrinkled into a ball.

Finally, someone was sent in with a basin of hot water.

Gu Yanling was so embarrassed that she didn't even have the face to see anyone. Even after the servants in the room left, she still refused to move. Finally, Xiao Xinghan put her on the bed and wiped her body with hot water.

Seeing how well-behaved he was, Xiao Xinghan didn't tease him and said, "Go to sleep."

Gu Yanling nodded, and after Xiao Xinghan lay down, she rolled into his arms. Xiao Xinghan did not push him away when he saw this. When Gu Yanling hugged Xiao Xinghan, his mind was full of recollections of what had just happened.

Woohoo, did Xiao Xinghan put medicine on his fingers?!

Woohoo, how could I have let him get it out without noticing!!!

Xiao Xinghan knew that the guy in his arms couldn't sleep and was probably still thinking about what had just happened.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not like some people who read books just for fun. His Royal Highness is studious. The picture book describes in detail that there is a place in the back garden that can bring people extreme happiness.

Only by giving this guy a little sweetness can we eliminate his fear of this matter.

It's so boring to do such a thing unwillingly and face death with equanimity.

Gu Yanling had no idea that she had been tricked by her young master. As expected, because of what had just happened, she felt less afraid and even had a vague sense of anticipation.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

The next day.

Xiao Xinghan called Gu Yanling to get up, but she closed her eyes and ignored him. The servants who were helping them wash up outside the bed curtains could hear Gu Yanling staying in bed.

It’s no wonder that Gu Yanling is like this. He was thinking about all sorts of things last night and didn’t fall asleep until late at night, so he didn’t sleep well.

Gu Yanling held Xiao Xinghan in her arms and refused to let him get up: "Sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer, wuwu."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything, Li Youfu signaled everyone to leave and wait outside.

After letting Gu Yanling sleep for another half an hour, Xiao Xinghan stopped pampering him and pinched his little face: "Get up, if you don't get up, we won't go to the suburbs today."

Gu Yanling caught sight of the suburbs, immediately opened her eyes, covered her face, whimpered twice in displeasure, and then sat up reluctantly.

After getting dressed and washing up, Gu Yanling finally woke up, but now he would be distracted whenever he saw Xiao Xinghan's fingers.

For example, when eating breakfast.

Gu Yanling's eyes fell on Xiao Xinghan's fingers holding the chopsticks, and her mind was full of why Xiao Xinghan's fingers were so slender?

Xiao Xinghan paused, pretending not to notice him staring at his hand, and ate his breakfast calmly. Gu Yanling took a few bites of the shredded chicken and tofu bun without tasting the food, and his eyes unconsciously followed Xiao Xinghan's hand.

Li Youfu was confused during the meal. What was so beautiful about the Crown Prince's hands? He had never seen him so interested in them before.
