Chapter 13 Dream
“Oh, brother…”
"Your Highness, don't..."
Jing Cang couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality.
In his bedroom, when Yu Pi knelt at his feet like a young beast, with her slender white back exposed and her heavy snow-white breasts swaying, he finally couldn't control the rampant thoughts in his heart, and fulfilled the wish of the worm in his body, telling her that the consequence of pulling out a tiger's whiskers is to seek death.
Her "death" was extremely tragic, like a fresh lychee being peeled and crushed, with its sweet juice spilling out, or like a beautiful swan raising its slender neck and crying for help.
He ignored her pitiful appearance, held a sharp sword, and attacked her fiercely, forcing her to retreat.
"don't want!"
She shook her head and cried, hoping only to get a moment to catch her breath.
"Didn't you say you just wanted to have it once?"
Jing Cang coldly grasped the sword and stabbed her. This fickle and hypocritical girl, like a hibiscus flower, could no longer pretend to fool him. She was like this flower, shattered by him, and her petals scattered all over the ground helplessly.
His wish had been fulfilled, so he happily surrendered.
"call……"
Jing Cang opened his eyes, breathing heavily, and felt wetness under his clothes.
He had had beautiful dreams about intimacy with someone before, but the woman's face was blurry and she was just an image for him to release his feelings. He had never felt the same real feeling as tonight, as if he was experiencing it in person.
"Your Highness?"
The maid who was on night watch outside heard the noise inside the tent and asked quietly.
Jing Cang wiped the sweat from his forehead. His pajamas were also soaked with sweat, and underneath him was...
"Ask Huo Dao to come in and help me bathe and change clothes."
The clear sound was as pleasing to the ears as the sound of jade hitting each other, mixed with a hint of hoarseness due to excitement. The maid was distracted by the sound and tore open her clothes a little and lifted the curtain.
"Does Your Highness need anyone to serve him?"
Jing Cang looked at the bold maid coldly.
The maid was frightened by his look.
The nobleman's gaze was like a sharp blade, which would cut her neck if she dared to be presumptuous again.
Emperor Cang withdrew.
The next day, Jing Cang ordered Huo Dao to find some beautiful dancers.
"How come your Highness has such leisure time?"
Huo Dao was curious. Although the prince had lost his memory, he did not forget the purpose of this trip - to investigate the embezzlement of earthquake silver in Liangzhou. Although his legs were inconvenient, he sent a few trusted people to investigate there. At the same time, he was also very concerned about the people's livelihood in Shu County and the surrounding areas.
"Go find it if you're asked to."
Speaking of this, Jing Cang became quite impatient.
He didn't quite understand himself. He clearly hated a woman as arrogant and hypocritical as Yu Fei, so why did his body keep falling for her? He even woke up unconsciously to his desire when he thought of her snow-white body and charming moans in his dreams.
Has he been celibate and away from women for too long?
"As you wish, I will arrange for all your subordinates, whether fat or thin." Huo Dao flattered.
Jing Cang never expected that these dancers would later appear at the prefect's banquet.
Huo Dao, like him, had just arrived in Shu County, so he naturally asked the people in the prefect's mansion about his pleasure, but the news reached the prefect's ears. The prefect summoned many beautiful dancers from brothels and some wealthy merchants in Shu County heard that he loved singing and dancing, so they recommended their talented daughters to perform.
That night, Jing Cang sat at the head of the hall, looking at the group of graceful women dancing in elegant clothes below.
The dancer's skirt is thin and soft. When she dances, she raises her hands and splits her legs, revealing her plump breasts and slender legs.
The governor and his colleagues sat in two rows on the left and right sides of the hall. Some of the old and some of the young had an expression of obsession or greed on their faces.
And he, facing this vivid scene, did not feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart.
I have no idea what's underneath my clothes.
The dancers fluttered around like butterflies, and after watching them for a long time I felt dizzy and annoyed.
Jing Cang rubbed his brows, wondering whether to end the banquet.
"Your Highness, I am late."
A crisp voice interrupted his thoughts. Jing Cang looked up and saw a young man in dark green clothes walked in slowly. After saluting him, he bowed to the prefect and others in turn.
"You rebellious son, you are so late, why don't you take a seat!" the governor shouted at the newcomer, "You have disturbed His Highness's pleasure, I will skin you alive."
"Yes, yes, yes." The governor nodded, turned around and stretched out his hand to the door, smiling, "Today I am also bringing your Highness's lifesaver, Miss Yu, here to see the world."
Everyone looked sideways.
A young girl in a red dress walked in gracefully holding the hand of the prefect's son. Her black hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. She had a red hibiscus flower pinned on her temples. It looked like it had just been picked. The dewdrops on the petals swayed like crystal under the bright light as she walked.
All the dancers in the hall were instantly transformed into vulgar women with rouge and powder. This girl was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy transformed from the lotus in her hair.
Yu Fei greeted everyone politely.
The prefect was the first to come to his senses. "Miss Yu, since you are the prince's benefactor, then you are a distinguished guest in our house. Please take a seat." He signaled the servants to lead her to the seat to the lower right of the prince.
The man who was sitting there hurriedly stood up. Yu Fei pulled the sleeve of the governor's son and whispered, "Come with me."
The prefect's son glanced at his father. The prefect looked at Jing Cang's calm face, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
The two of them were sitting to the lower right of Jing Cang, a position that he could see in an instant.
The music, singing and dancing began again, and the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
The governor's son picked up a green grape and placed it in front of Yu Fei. Yu Fei glanced at Jing Cang and said in a clingy tone, "I want my brother to feed it."
The prefect's son smiled widely, as if his whole body was softening. He considerately peeled the grape skin and wanted to put it into her mouth.
Yu Fei also cooperated very well by stretching his neck and opening his little mouth.
Suddenly, there was a loud clapping of the table from the upper part of the hall, and the porcelain pots and wine cups fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The governor stood up hurriedly, bent over and asked with his tongue sticking out.
Jing Cang stroked his forehead and closed his eyes, leaning back in the chair, as if he was drunk.
Huo Dao looked at his nose and then at his heart, and said, "Your Highness has drunk some wine and is feeling unwell. The banquet is over. Let's go."
Yu Fei sighed with pretended regret: "I wanted to watch the beautiful sister dance for a while longer."
She stood up, picked up a green-skinned grape, and looked at Jing Cang with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want to eat grapes? Especially the green-skinned ones. I heard that they are the best for sobering up."
Jing Cang opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Yu Fei.
She was not suggesting eating fruit to sober him up, but was clearly reminding him that she had forcibly kissed him and forced him to swallow a fruit she had fed him.
If he hadn't stopped her just now, she would have put another man's finger in her mouth and sucked the flesh of a grape.
This fickle woman!
A few days ago, she knelt in front of him to ask for sex, and in the blink of an eye, she leaned on someone else's shoulder, saying in a sticky voice, "I want you to feed me, brother."
Is she so greedy that she won't be picky about food? She won't be honest until a man holds a sword against her.
Jing Cang couldn't help but think of the way she was stuck on him and was dying in her dream.
"It doesn't matter if Your Highness doesn't like eating grapes." The prefect's son stared at the prince's changeable face. His eyes were like the heavy dark clouds before a storm, as if he wanted to sweep Yu Fei away and drown her, or as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
He couldn't figure out Jing Cang's attitude towards Yu Fei, so he laughed and said, "Miss Yu, since His Highness doesn't want to eat it, I'll eat it." Then he leaned over and tried to pick the grapes from her fingertips.
Yu Fei stood there smiling, looking into Jing Cang's eyes, and seemed not to mind at all that the prefect's son was sucking her fingertips in public.
“Bang!”
The table at the top was suddenly overturned.
The wooden table rolled down the stairs, scaring the dancers in the hall into losing their countenance.
"Your Highness, calm down!"
The prefect and his men knelt on the ground trembling.
Yu Fei stood with his back straight, motionless.
The prefect's son pulled at the hem of her skirt.
Yu Fei seemed to suddenly realize it, lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and said softly: "I didn't know that grapes are a taboo for His Highness. I have angered His Highness. Please forgive me."
Huo Dao looked at the crowds of people kneeling in the hall and sighed in his heart: When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond are affected.
A few days ago, the prince and Miss Yu were very affectionate at first, but later they had a quarrel. Miss Yu left the room angrily, and the prince said he wanted to find a dancer the next day. Miss Yu was on good terms with the governor's son today, and the prince seemed to be jealous!
He thought for a moment and then tried to smooth things over: "Your Highness's leg disease has recurred today and he is in a bad mood. There is no need to panic. Let's go."
Everyone scattered like birds and beasts, fearing that they would be affected by the noble's anger.
Yu Fei left the hall leisurely, and while walking she talked with the prefect's son about what kind of grapes were delicious. The prefect's son was very interested and seemed to want to invite her to taste the grapes and have a chat at night.
Huo Dao saw his master coldly staring at the backs of the man and woman. If his gaze could be turned into sharp arrows, the two of them would have been pierced through long ago.
He coughed lightly and suggested, "Your Highness, it's a rare opportunity for Miss Yu to come to the governor's residence tonight. Would you like me to invite her to the courtyard for a cup of tea? The governor presented the Mengding Ganlu to us yesterday."
The two figures gradually faded away into the night. Jing Cang leaned back in his chair in frustration, holding his forehead and sighing.
Even though he had lost his memory, he knew that as a king, he should not show his emotions on his face.
But he kept losing his composure tonight.
For some reason, when he saw Yu Fei and the prefect's son being intimate, he felt like there was a bug gnawing at his heart. This sour and painful feeling forced him to stop them, otherwise he would be eaten to death.
He originally thought that she was only interested in her body, but he didn't expect that she was also interested in her as a person!
But this feeling came too suddenly and was too inexplicable?
Apart from her beauty and figure, there was nothing about her that was worthy of his appreciation.
Jing Cang patted his forehead. Why did he look like she had drugged him and fed him aphrodisiac?
"Your Highness." Seeing Jing Cang hesitate, Huo Dao said, "If you want to invite Miss Yu for tea, I will stop her carriage tonight and you can go and teach her a lesson."
The lovers quarreled at one end of the bed and made up at the other. No matter how angry the prince was, the eldest lady could help him relieve his anger.
He thought so, but his face did not show it. He said seriously, "Normally, when a woman is engaged to someone, she must abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Moreover, Miss Yu and you already have a relationship. She is still young and has a delicate personality. You need to give her more advice to prevent her from going astray."
Upon hearing this, Jing Cang knew that Huo Dao had misunderstood that the two were very close because of the scene that night, and he was too lazy to explain.
Yu Fei said angrily at the time that she wanted to make him regret what he did that night in the future. Was her words and actions tonight a deliberate revenge on him?
Although the prefect's son is handsome, he is also a playboy. She probably won't get much advantage by associating with such a man.
I thought every man had such good self-control as him.
The Yu family had been kind to him, and he couldn't just watch her kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of her own men just for the sake of being angry.
Jing Cang thought for a long time, nodded and asked Huo Dao to do it.
