Chapter 72 This Princess Has Never Kissed a Man on the Lips

"It seems that Nian'er still prefers to give more advice."

Xiao Nanxi retracted his gaze and shook his head regretfully, "Master Pei is also very good."

She turned her head, her big, bright eyes full of confusion, "I thought Nianxi would prefer the calm and reserved Master Pei... Yan Qing, if I asked you to choose, who would you choose?"

Yan Qing's cold and hard face remained unchanged for thousands of years, but his eyes were a little helpless as he looked at the whimsical little princess in front of him, "I am a man."

"What's wrong with men? Men can like other men too. Aren't there many stories of two men living happily together?" The little princess argued. "Besides, they don't like you anyway, so don't think too much about it."

"……yes."

"Who do you choose?"

"…I don't know."

"If it were me, I wouldn't know how to choose. They both look good. If it's up to this princess, it would be best to take Nian'er in as well. Wouldn't that mean I could have double the happiness?"

"I don't know what it feels like to have a love affair with a man. I really want to experience it." Xiao Nanxi held her chin with both hands, her voice full of melancholy, "It's a pity that I am a young woman in my twenties, but I have never held a man's hand or kissed a man's mouth..."

"Princess, be careful with your words." Yan Qing's face was a little gloomy, and his voice was even colder, but he was born with a cold face, so it was not obvious.

"I know, I know!" Xiao Nanxi puffed up his cheeks, looking as angry as a pufferfish. "I don't even see anyone all day, why should I be so cautious!"

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty is also doing this for the princess's own good."

Xiao Nanxi stood up as she spoke, "If we delay any longer, the autumn hunt will be over soon. I have to hurry. Let's go to the hunting grounds first. I don't believe that among tens of thousands of soldiers, we can't find a man that suits us!"

"Yan Qing, let's go!"

Yan Qing said nothing and followed behind the princess, still being the most competent guard.

Gu Ci had calmed down. He smelled the faint scent of alcohol on Nian Xi and chuckled, "You don't allow others to drink all day long, but you are the one who drinks in broad daylight and reeks of alcohol."

Nian Xi glanced at Gu Ci, then stood on tiptoe and moved closer to him.

Gu Ci didn't know why she took the initiative, but as he watched that beautiful face getting closer and closer, he closed his eyes. But after waiting for a long while, he only saw her blow a breath on his face, and then nothing happened.

Gu Ci opened his eyes and looked into her smiling almond-shaped eyes. He realized that he was wrong. He felt sweet and embarrassed at the same time. "Little rascal, you are becoming more and more naughty now. You know how to tease people."

He was about to reach out and grab her to show off his masculinity, but Nian Xi had already straightened her expression, "What do you smell?"

Gu Ci paused, full of confusion.

Just now, her breath smelled like orchid, and Gu Ci only felt surrounded by a faint fragrance, no different from usual, so there was no "other" there.

Just as I was about to ask, I suddenly realized, "You didn't drink?"

"Then why do you smell so drunk?"

"I'm still your good cousin." She didn't think so at first, but now, seeing Gu Ci's concerned eyes, Nian Xi felt wronged for no reason. She raised her right hand in front of him and whispered, "If it weren't for Princess Wen Shu's protection, you wouldn't be able to see me today."

Speaking of this, her face turned pale when she recalled Jiang Yuan's crazy and crazy look in the crowd just now.

Gu Ci held her right hand, only to find that the cuffs were wet. He took a closer sniff and smelled the aroma of wine. His mind raced very quickly, and he understood in an instant, "Someone put drugs in your wine?!"

Gu Ci usually has a good temper in front of Nian Xi and allows her to tease him, but he was born in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and grew up like a proud child. Even the prince is polite to him. How could he not have edges in his character?

"Are you okay? Have you had anything to eat besides wine? Please drive away. The chief physician and chief doctor of the Imperial Hospital are here. Go back and change your clothes. I will ask the Imperial Physician to examine you."

Nian Xi held him back and told him everything that had happened at the table. When she mentioned the secret medicine's effect of causing sexual pleasure, Gu Ci's face turned so dark that it could no longer be described as dark blue.

If Fuling had not been alert, if Nianxi had not been quick-witted and intelligent, he could not imagine what kind of harm Nianxi would have suffered today.

Those people, how dare they treat her like this?

Nianxi was able to escape the disaster because of God's blessing and because she was kind to others in her daily life. The evildoers should receive the retribution they deserve, not a bit less.

Gu Ci clenched his fists tightly, his muscles tensed up, and the anger in his heart was blazing and spreading wantonly.

"It's all my fault. You got scared today." Gu Ci stroked Nianxi's head gently, suppressing his surging anger. "Go back and change your wet clothes first, and have something to eat. I'll come find you later."

Nianxi had never seen such a refusal before, and was a little worried for a moment, so she asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Ci was filled with guilt, "I didn't handle Jiang Yuan's matter well. I always thought of her as my younger sister, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious. I was terrified that she hurt you like this."

Nian Xi said slowly, "But she has already lost all her face and has been punished."

Gu Ci smiled coldly, his expression not reaching his eyes. "My silly Nian'er, she is reaping the fruits of her own actions. This is not a punishment."

…

The affair between Jiang Yuan and Han Gaojie has become public.

When Han Lin, the Marquis of Anjing, heard about this, he returned from the hunting ground early. When he saw his son, he whipped him without saying a word.

The Grand Princess did not have any escorts this time, so Han Gaojie had no one to protect him. He was beaten by Marquis Anjing and ran around the palace in chaos. He kept begging for mercy:

"Father, please stop hitting me. I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. If another woman approaches me and asks for sex, I will refuse her sternly and will never fall into her trap again. Father, you have to make the decision for me. I am simple-minded. I think such a dirty thing cannot happen in broad daylight. I am the one whose reputation has been tarnished..."

He howled all the way, and everyone in the palace knew what he was saying. "I just played with the woman who came to my door. Who knew she was so treacherous and actually loved me and wanted to cheat on me! Father, I am innocent..."

Jiang Yuan woke up slowly, heard the shouting from the front hall, and almost fainted again.

She even thought Han Gaojie, such a vulgar man, was dirty when he carried her shoes, but now he was making noise everywhere. Did she approach him... to seduce him?

Jiang Yuan's face was pale. He grabbed the maid's hand and dug his long nails, which were stained with iris juice, deeply into the maid's flesh. "Where is the princess?"

Her voice was hoarse and her face was full of anxiety. "Where is Princess Xinchang?"
