Palace Intrigue: The Crown Prince's Favorite Consort

Tong Wanyan's life was extremely tumultuous.

Born as a庶女 (concubine's daughter), she was raised as a嫡女 (legitimate daughter).

Just before her wedding, she was stripped o...

Chapter 15 A Scam That Harms Both Others and Oneself

The royal tribute lychees have a sweet and refreshing taste. Paired with milk and crushed ice, they are a delightful treat.

Tong Wanyan puffed out her cheeks, holding the ice bowl in her hands, and wanted to take the one Yinreng gave her.

Seeing his troubled expression, Yinreng couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll take this for you first, you can eat slowly. Would Yuqing Palace ever skimp on your food and drink?" Yinreng mocked her.

Tong Wanyan looked at Yinreng with a pitiful expression, her eyes welling up with tears: "Your Highness doesn't skimp on my food, but Xia Zhu is keeping a close eye on me. She says women are prone to feeling cold and shouldn't get chilled."

You can have as many as you want then.” Tong Wanyan said, her heart filled with reluctance to part with the ice bowl.

She traced circles on Yinreng's chest with her fingers, her eyes filled with seductive allure, and Yinreng pounced on her.

"In broad daylight, sir, you've wasted your education."

After being satisfied, Tong Wanyan turned the tables and refused to admit that she was the instigator.

Yinreng held her close; her smooth, cool skin was more refreshing than ice.

“Sometimes, books don’t need to be read,” Yinreng said shamelessly.
