"Your Highness Baozhu wants to know." Xu Baozhu blushed, hooked her arms around his neck, and spoke weakly.
"I'll tell you slowly later. Don't be in a hurry. Let me take a closer look at you first." Xiao Hengyuan's eyes were deep and full of lust.
"I haven't seen you these past few days. Have you gained some weight?"
"I don't know."
Xu Baozhu was shy and submissive, looking at him with a blushing face.
"Then I'll come and see."
…
Afterwards, Xu Baozhu's eyes were filled with tears and red and swollen.
The hair on her forehead was already wet with sweat and stuck to her slightly red cheeks. Xiao Hengyuan patted her back gently to help her breathe more calmly.
"Your Highness, do you like me or my sister more?" Xu Baozhu asked in a deliberately tender voice, her voice already hoarse.
Xiao Hengyuan doesn't like anyone, and women are just playthings to him.
"Of course it's you." Xiao Hengyuan didn't like her as a person, but he liked her beauty.
Although she does not have the reserve of a young lady from an official family, her face is indeed good-looking.
Especially at this moment, she was lying under him, weak and boneless, with a shy face, which made Xiao Hengyuan's desire surge again.
As long as she remains this beautiful, he is willing to pamper her.
His voice was hoarse and his eyes were deep as he coaxed her softly, "I lose all interest whenever I think of her face."
"Whether it's looks or figure, she's nowhere near as good as you. In my heart, I only like you. How can she be as beautiful as our Baozhu?"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Xu Baozhu smiled sweetly and leaned softly against Xiao Hengyuan.

"You guys get off right here."
Carriages were not allowed to enter the palace. In the past, when Xiao Chengyou was the crown prince, the emperor loved him so much that he could not only ride a horse in the palace but also had many other privileges.
So he didn't know before that the road from the palace gate to the harem was so long. Xiao Chengyou was particularly depressed.
"Let me support you." Xu Lingyi said.
Xiao Chengyou shook his head: "I'll go by myself."
Xu Lingyi saw his stubbornness and gave up.
As Xu Lingyi and Xiao Chengyou walked towards Fengyi Palace, they met many palace servants on the way.
Even if these people restrained their gazes, she could still feel the furtive glances directed at her.
When they were halfway there, they met many ministers' families who had come to attend the palace banquet.
When they saw Xiao Chengyou walking with a limp, they were surprised and couldn't help but keep their gaze on him.
Although there was no ridicule, it was not pleasant for Xiao Chengyou, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, to be seen in such a scene.
When they met face to face, they seemed to not know how to address Xiao Chengyou, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Xu Lingyi could inexplicably feel Xiao Chengyou's discomfort and gloom at the moment.
She reached out to support Xiao Chengyou and held his hand. Xiao Chengyou looked up at her with a complicated expression.
"Let's go, the Queen is still waiting for us." Xu Lingyi spoke softly, leading him forward step by step.
Those people immediately moved aside.
After finally getting away from these people, Xu Lingyi felt a little relieved.
No one wants to be treated like a monkey. She stood next to the deposed prince and was scrutinized many times along the way.
Xiao Chengyou's discomfort was only worse than hers.
Xiao Chengyou didn't say a word along the way, and his whole body seemed to be filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
Xu Lingyi could understand his feelings. During this period of contact, she could also see Xiao Chengyou's arrogance.
When she arrived at the gate of the Queen's Palace, Xu Lingyi was a little surprised because there were more guards in front of the Queen's Palace than at the residence of the deposed Crown Prince.
This is in the harem. Is the emperor treating the queen as a prisoner?
When Xiao Chengyou saw this scene, his heart was broken and his eyes were like a cold blade.
"Please come in."
Xu Lingyi was stopped outside the palace. She felt relieved. She didn't want to meet the queen. The last thing in her previous life made her feel a little guilty.
After Xiao Chengyou limped in, the heavy door was closed again.
Xu Lingyi sighed in her heart. In her previous life, her status was too low and she didn't have a deep understanding of the affairs in the palace.
Xu Lingyi originally thought that she would have to wait for a while, but after only about a cup of tea, the guard at the door opened the door again.
This meant the Queen and her son’s speaking time was over.
When Xiao Chengyou came out, no matter how well he concealed it, Xu Lingyi could tell that he must have been crying. His eyes were deep red and his thin lips were pale, with almost no blood visible.
"Xiao Chengyou?" Xu Lingyi called his name softly.
"Let's go."
His voice was exceptionally hoarse.
Xu Lingyi didn't say anything else. Today they entered the palace under the pretext of attending a palace banquet, although they actually came to visit the queen.
But they still had to go through the motions of the palace banquet.
In his previous life, Xiao Chengyou must have been drugged at this palace banquet.
When they arrived at the banquet, they once again attracted everyone's attention.
Some people who had not seen it just now noticed Xiao Chengyou's legs at this moment.
If a child of destiny suddenly becomes disabled, he must be very pitiful in the eyes of others.
But someone like Xiao Chengyou should hate others feeling sorry for him the most.
"elder sister."
Xu Lingyi heard a familiar voice and secretly curled her lips in her heart.
Xu Baozhu came to assist her.
She knows her own nature and loves to kick others when they are down and step on them to gain a sense of superiority.
"Sister, wait a minute."
Xu Baozhu walked towards her with a graceful and slender waist.
Today she was dressed in jewels and looked very formal.
"Sister, are you doing well now? Let's sit together." Xu Baozhu seemed concerned.
She seemed to be unable to see Xiao Chengyou and was talking to Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi smiled secretly in her heart. She knew why, because Xiao Chengyou once didn't even look at her.
