male favorite
Di Shaoze found a soft silk stool and sat down, propping up his left long leg. His pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with sinister intent, emitting a burning aura.
Mudan wanted to get closer to him, but she didn't dare to. She could only sit not too far away, admiring his handsome profile, and comforting herself in her heart that even if she couldn't eat it, just looking at him was pleasing to the eyes.
"Young Master, are you waiting for the pair at the door? Is that your wife?"
"Sir, do you like Shuang'er's type? Do you need Mudan to find someone similar for you?"
"Young Master..."
Mudan tried very hard to start a conversation, but Di Shaoze remained silent, completely ignoring the beautiful and charming girl.
Maybe it was because Di Shaoze's temperament was originally quite cold, so Mudan didn't think it was inappropriate at all. Instead, she felt that this man's indifference to her was damn "sweet"!
After a while, Di Shaoze came out of his thoughts, glanced at the door that had not been opened yet, sighed softly, and loosened his legs.
Mudan guessed that the young master was probably going out to be submissive and polite to his wife.
With a click...
The door opened quietly, a corner opened, and Lin Huai'en sneaked in. Like a child who had committed a serious mistake, he came close to Di Shaoze and whispered to admit his mistake.
Lin Huai'en's eyes were slightly red, as if he was holding it back.
"Shao Ze, I shouldn't have forced you to come to the brothel, nor should I have ignored your feelings. That disease is okay, just take your time. If you really can't vent... you can... you can come to me..." At this point, Lin Huai'en's lips trembled a little, but he still insisted on speaking out.
"Puchi." Di Shaoze chuckled with satisfaction. Every word Lin Huai'en said was what he loved to hear.
"Huai En, my situation is so difficult, I guess it's embarrassing for you." Di Shaoze raised his finger and gently wiped across Lin Huai En's red eyes. His phoenix eyes looked up, full of purity and innocence, "You have to give up your principles for me."
Wow… Peony's red lips widened slightly in amazement. Who was this hidden "face-changing artist" among the people?! From the aloof and cold flower of the mountains, she instantly transformed into a pure and innocent little white flower, switching personalities in a split second, without a trace of the change.
Lin Huai'en was softened by Di Shaoze's eyes, so he swallowed all his hesitations and said, "No... It's not difficult..."
"It's good that it's not difficult."
Di Shaoze stood up straight, held Lin Huai'en's hand, glanced at Mudan who was in the way, and pulled Lin Huai'en out of the brothel.
It was late at night, and aside from the dazzling lanterns of Wanhua Tower, everything was completely silent. Di Shaoze's phoenix eyes scanned the area a few times before settling on a secluded alley.
"In that alley."
"It's not a good place in the alley..." Lin Huai'en pinched his collar nervously.
Although he had agreed to be Di Shaoze's temporary male lover, the entanglement in the deep alley was still beyond Lin Huaien's tolerance. If someone happened to see him, he would really be in trouble.
However, Di Shaoze seemed to like the alley very much, and he led Lin Huai'en in and pushed them against the corner of the wall where there was not much light.
So, Lin Huai'en's back was pressed against the hard wall, and in front of him was Di Shaoze's broad shoulders. Both sides of him had already been circled by Di Shaoze's arms, as if his whole body was gathered into Di Shaoze's territory.
Lin Huai'en's lips were first touched by Di Shaoze, then again, and then gradually deepened... until an ambiguous sound was made.
In the almost dark environment, Lin Huai'en lost most of his vision, but his other senses were stimulated. At this moment, Lin Huai'en could only feel Di Shaoze - Di Shaoze's embrace, Di Shaoze's breath, and Di Shaoze's kiss.
For a moment, my heart was beating like a drum.
Was it his illusion that made him feel that Di Shaoze's kiss contained joy, excitement, and a hint of affection...
That night, after Di Shaoze finished kissing Lin Huai'en, he did not continue. Instead, he sent Lin Huai'en back to the Prime Minister's Residence first, and then walked back himself.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Huai'en covered his lips with his sleeve, like a little wild cat afraid of being caught after stealing fish, and quickly and quietly walked towards his own courtyard. After entering the courtyard, he had just huddled into bed when the door was opened by Madam Lin.
"Why are you back so late?" Mrs. Lin walked into the room holding a piglet and walked towards Lin Huai'en. "I left some food for you. Do you want to eat? Hey... why do your lips feel like they're burning?"
"I ate something spicy outside, that's why I became like this." After telling the lie, Lin Huai'en felt a little guilty, so he quickly changed the subject, "Mom...if...if I can't get married anymore...what will you do?"
When Lin Huai'en agreed to be Di Shaoze's male concubine, she had already considered not marrying again. After all, no decent family would want a male concubine who had been played with and ruined. Not only would it be embarrassing to talk about it, but even more embarrassing to bring him out.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin's face darkened, and she slowly sat down beside Lin Huai'en's bed. The strength in Mrs. Lin's wrist unconsciously loosened, and the piglet in her arms jumped out of Mrs. Lin's arms, inhaling the fragrance while walking towards the bedside, and squeezed into Lin Huai'en's arms.
After a long while, Mrs. Lin finally spoke, forcing a smile. "Forget it...it's okay...my precious son can support himself and the whole family, so he doesn't need a man to rely on."
"Mom...thank you..." Lin Huai'en was deeply moved, so he snuggled into Mrs. Lin's arms and hugged his caring mother tightly.
Holding her son's warm body, Madam Lin couldn't help sobbing and said sadly, "Mother thought you would come to your senses after sleeping with Di Shaoze, but why are you falling deeper and deeper into his love? You even decided to remain single for the rest of your life to wait for him... My infatuated child..."
Lin Huaien: “???”
Well, my mother still has the familiar sadomasochistic script in her head.
From that night on, Lin Huai'en's daily life had one more thing, that was being kept by Di Shaoze, and then "playing" for a while longer, or being held in his arms, or being used as material for his paintings, or sitting on his lap and accompanying him to read.
Because it was his first time being a male concubine, Lin Huai'en had no idea about the situation, so he basically did whatever Tian Shaoze said.
Those who have been in high positions for a long time are good at playing with people's hearts and are naturally good at keeping male favorites. Di Shaoze knows how to strike the right balance, from a slight touch to a tight embrace. He manages the time difference between the two very well, so as not to cause any discomfort to Lin Huai'en.
Di Shaoze would also give Lin Huai'en a certain amount of free space, giving him one or two days of rest every two or three days.
Whenever he had a break, Lin Huai'en would return to his normal life. After finishing his official business, he would either stay in his study like a homebody, or go to a teahouse a few meters away from his home and read in a private room.
Unlike the unchanging books in the study, the books in the teahouse are constantly updated, with the owner getting up early every day to change them out. Due to the recent close interactions between Di Shaoze and Lin Huai'en, and their frequent "sweets," the number of fanfiction books has skyrocketed. So much so, the owner has even dedicated a large section of the bookshelves to their fanfiction collection.
Every time Lin Huai'en passed by the bookshelf and saw the little girls covering their mouths and giggling while reading, he would scratch his head, wondering what they were laughing at, and then go upstairs to continue reading his beloved poetry collection.
Just like that, about a month passed. Before the morning court session, his mother specifically instructed Lin Huai'en to go home early because his cousin from his eldest aunt's family, whom he hadn't seen for three years, was coming. So, as soon as Lin Huai'en got out of court, he rushed back to the mansion and unexpectedly ran into his cousin at the door.
After three years, the girl who used to dig sweet potatoes in the fields has grown into a well-rounded woman. Even compared to the girls in the capital, her features and looks are no less impressive. However, because she comes from a farming family, her hands and wrists are a bit rough, and she carries a large, heavy bamboo basket on her back.
"cousin!!!"
As soon as she saw Lin Huai'en, Lin Yiyi waved her hands excitedly, then took a few steps and ran to hug Lin Huai'en, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Snap...
Because she exerted too much force, two storybooks fell out of the full bamboo basket on her cousin's back - "I Met the Prime Minister and He Was So Charming" and "Drinking with You".
Lin Huaien: “…”
Lin Yiyi: “…”
"Oh, I don't know which girl stuffed these books into my backpack and brought them here without even reading them carefully." After saying that, Lin Yiyi bent down to pick up the books.
Unexpectedly, when she was picking up the books, the things in the basket on her back fell down her back and landed on the ground in front of her with a "pa pa pa pa" sound as she bent over.
"Under One Person", "Your Majesty's Secret Love Daily", "The Prime Minister's Secret Love Daily", "The King and His Minister's Joy"...
Facing the fan fiction books scattered all over the floor, Lin Yiyi was silent for a moment before she said, "Cousin, listen to me. I can explain."
