This startled Li Zhu, but when he turned around, he found Tian Ling already beside him…

He was inwardly surprised by Tian Ling's strength, as she had managed to appear beside him so silently, but outwardly he remained calm and even teased her with his lecherous intent.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to take advantage of me? Let me tell you, I'm a respectable man, not that kind of person..."

Tian Ling was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red. As a princess of Baiyue, how could anyone say such nonsense to her? It was so embarrassing!

"Sister Xiao is waiting for you inside..."

After saying that, Tian Ling ran away, her face still flushed with embarrassment. She had obviously been unable to stand Li Zhu's lewd teasing and was going to find a place to calm down!

"Hey...you still haven't told me where it is..."

Li Zhu pressed for an answer, frustrated, but Tian Ling had already run far away and hadn't heard him at all!

"Hey, really... you didn't even explain things clearly, and do you two have to decide which is first? Even if I agreed, my body wouldn't..."

Li Zhu couldn't help but mutter to himself!

As he passed by, he glanced around and noticed that the door to a nearby room was open…

"That's really romantic..."

Li Zhu couldn't help but chuckle, imagining what it would be like inside...

His footsteps were very light, as if afraid of disturbing the beauty. The thought of conquering such an icy beauty as Xiao Meiren filled him with immense excitement...

A rich aroma of tea wafted through the air, clearly indicating that Xiao Meiren had put in a lot of effort in waiting for his arrival, even brewing the tea herself!

"Xiao Meiren, true to her name, is indeed a great beauty..."

Li Zhu looked at Xiao Meiren brewing tea beside the tea tables on both sides and exclaimed in admiration!

"Close the door..."

Xiao Meiren spoke in her usual cool and aloof voice!

"This...isn't that a bad idea..."

Li Zhu thought to himself, "Why is he even more anxious than me? Could it be a trap? This feigned indifference is really well done. He was just ignoring me a moment ago, and now he's closing the door. His attitude has changed too quickly!"

but…

I like…

A wicked smile crept across Li Zhu's lips...

"What we're about to do isn't something outsiders should see..."

Xiao Meiren continued!

Li Zhu nodded in deep agreement and said...

"That's right, this kind of thing is definitely not something others should see. I'll close the door now..."

As he spoke, Li Zhu closed the door and began unbuttoning his shirt...

What are you doing?

Xiao Meiren frowned as she looked at Li Zhu. Why was he taking off his clothes while talking?

"Isn't that what you meant?"

Li Zhu gestured between the two men, as if to say, "Aren't you going to do something with me?"

What are you thinking?

Xiao Meiren couldn't help but scold him angrily!

"Of course I miss you! To think of someone else at a time like this would be an absolute desecration of your beauty..."

Li Zhu said shamelessly, not feeling that he had done anything wrong at all!

"I don't want to..."

Xiao Meiren gritted her teeth for a long time but couldn't say the rest of her words. Li Zhu understood what she meant, but he didn't respond, waiting for her to say it herself...

"You're being too reckless. Who takes off their clothes the first time they meet a girl?"

Finally, Xiao Meiren managed to utter this sentence!

"If I just turn around and leave, wouldn't that be disrespecting you...?"

Li Zhu rolled his eyes at her and thought to himself, "At a time like this, what are you still pretending for? Playing hard to get is going a bit too far..."

That's not what I meant...

"That's what Xiao Meiren said helplessly!"

"You called me in, told me to close the door, and told me I couldn't let anyone know what I was doing. You gave me so many clues, isn't it just that you want to..."

Li Zhu put his two thumbs up in front of his chest, making a lewd gesture, the meaning of which was very clear: you just want to do something with me, don't you?

"What are you thinking? What I mean is, we can't let anyone hear what we're about to say..."

Faced with Xiao Meiren's explanation, Li Zhu was somewhat bewildered, wondering what the difference was.

"What happens in bed is naturally something no one should know, I understand..."

Li Zhu said with an attitude of "I understand!"

"Enough... How can the Crown Prince, who is in charge of the country, be so reckless?"

Xiao Meiren rebuked him, her face darkening.

Li Zhu was stunned by what Xiao Meiren said, thinking to himself, "Am I being presumptuous, or are you? You were the one who let me in and then told me to close the door..."

A man and a woman alone in a room, if it's not to get me, would you really invite me for tea?

"Your Highness, is that not what you meant?"

Li Zhu asked, somewhat bewildered!

"What are you thinking? I have something important to discuss with you, and it's not convenient for others to hear our conversation, so I asked you to close the door..."

Although somewhat annoyed, Xiao Meiren still explained!

"Oh, it seems I misunderstood. But it's alright, everyone appreciates beauty. I'm so handsome, it's normal for people to want me. There's no need to hide your feelings..."

Xiao Meiren couldn't stand Li Zhu's endless flirtatious talk any longer. She thought Li Zhu wanted to express that he was attracted to her beauty, but she didn't expect this narcissistic guy to say that she was attracted to his good looks. He really is shameless...

"I'm your older sister..."

"Oh, so you're a little older than me. 'Sister Xiao' is a nice way to address you. Don't worry, I won't mind that you're older than me..."

Li Zhu didn't grasp the deeper meaning and assumed the other person was just saying what they meant literally...

"I am your older sister..."

"Stop making a scene. If you don't want to marry me, you don't need to come up with all sorts of excuses. At worst, I'll have my father send a letter of state to the Liao emperor, refusing the marriage alliance..."

"I'm telling the truth. I am your biological sister, and I'm not a real princess of the Liao Dynasty, but a princess of the previous dynasty. And you are my long-lost brother..."

Seeing that Li Zhu didn't believe her, Lady Xiao continued to explain!

But this still made Li Zhu unable to believe it. He was the eldest prince of the new Tang Dynasty. How could he be a descendant of the previous dynasty?

"Lady Xiao, that joke went too far. I'll pretend nothing happened today, and besides, that joke wasn't funny at all..."

Li Zhu said seriously!

“I’m telling the truth, you have to believe me. You should know that the Emperor of the New Tang Dynasty doesn’t like you, he even despises you. Haven’t you ever considered that you might not be his biological son? Apart from that possibility, who would go to such lengths to kill their own son?”

Upon hearing Xiao Meiren's words, Li Zhu had a fleeting moment of doubt, but he quickly shook his head and said...

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's simply impossible..."

"Li Zhu, what time is it? Why won't you believe me? I risked my life to come to New Tang to tell you the truth..."

Xiao Meiren said with an anxious expression!
