Chapter 92 The Abandoned Eldest Daughter Makes a Comeback (16 chapters)
Xiao Chengxu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yunzhen, my mother will be hosting a palace banquet soon. Would you like to come with me?"
After saying that, he stared intently at Shen Yunzhen, like a prisoner awaiting final judgment.
Shen Yunzhen realized something, looked at Xiao Chengxu, and shook her head: "Never mind, I won't go."
Even a fool would know what it means to be seen with him at a banquet.
Xiao Chengxu's eyes dimmed.
"Okay, I understand."
Even though he had realized Shen Yunzhen's intentions, he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to test the waters with a glimmer of hope.
Now that we know the result, it's nothing.
They haven't known each other for very long; they have plenty of time ahead of them.
Yunzhen will eventually belong to him.
Having experienced the previous world, Yun Zhen didn't want to be tied to just one man, especially since Xiao Chengxu's identity was quite troublesome, and there would be too many restrictions if they got married.
Shen Yunzhen decided to make her intentions more obvious.
Do you know where there are male brothels in the capital?
Xiao Chengxu's body trembled, and he was shocked: "You're going to a brothel?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Shen Yunzhen certainly wouldn't go.
She still prefers clean and pure men; she doesn't care for or even despise dirty men. But this doesn't stop her from using this method to cut off Xiao Chengxu's thoughts and stop him from always trying to get her into the palace.
Xiao Chengxu's anger surged instantly, and he said fiercely, "No, absolutely not!"
Those people are so filthy, how could they be worthy of touching Yunzhen?
Just thinking about it made Xiao Chengxu so angry that he wanted to kill someone, and he couldn't calm down at all.
At this moment, he felt not jealousy, but disgust and resentment towards those people.
Shen Yunzhen pouted: "Why not? You men can go to brothels, so what's wrong with me going to a male prostitute?"
Xiao Chengxu realized that he had overreacted and that it would be bad if he frightened Yun Zhen.
He suppressed his anger and softened his voice.
"Yunzhen, if you want to play, I'll take you to other places, okay? Those are all bad places."
A murderous glint flashed in Xiao Chengxu's eyes.
Yunzhen has lived in the village since she was a child, how could she know about such a lowly and filthy place?
Someone must have been gossiping behind her back.
Shen Yunzhen crossed her arms and realized that Xiao Chengxu had not understood her meaning, so she changed her approach.
"It's fine if I don't want to go, but then find me a few men, and I'll just stay home and play."
Xiao Chengxu's body froze completely.
"Yunzhen, what... what did you say?"
"I'm telling you, find me a few men. I want to play with them at home. They have to be very good-looking. As the crown prince, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Xiao Chengxu struggled to regain his senses: "What do you need a man for?"
"What you men do when you look for women, I'll do when I look for men."
Xiao Chengxu's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was almost popping out of their sockets.
Who exactly corrupted Yunzhen?!
He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
“Yunzhen, these are all bad behaviors, we shouldn’t learn them. This kind of thing can only be done with your husband, the others are all disreputable men, dirty and filthy.”
"Tsk, aren't you men the ones who love to frequent brothels? You don't just stay with your wives, so what's wrong with me bringing a few people home to have some fun?"
Go back and have all those brothels shut down!
“Those men are all morally corrupt, utterly shameless scoundrels, we…”
Shen Yunzhen interrupted his long speech.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Just remember to send clean ones."
Xiao Chengxu opened his mouth, then said with difficulty, "Yunzhen, I cannot agree to that."
Shen Yunzhen feigned ignorance: "Why?"
Xiao Chengxu earnestly advised, "Yunzhen, you are still young and have only a superficial understanding of matters between men and women. It is just a momentary curiosity and impulse, so I cannot let you act so recklessly. Physical intimacy between men and women is a matter of mutual affection and mutual attraction."
As he finished speaking, Xiao Chengxu's ears turned slightly red, and his gaze drifted to Shen Yunzhen's face.
Shen Yunzhen leaned back, shifting to a more comfortable position.
“I’ve been of marriageable age for a year now, and I know exactly what I’m doing.”
In matters between men and women, only mutual consent matters; other things are not essential, and I don't care about them.
Xiao Chengxu looked astonished and finally realized that Yun Zhen was not simply ignorant, but had been aroused by someone with ulterior motives.
She was simply... genuinely interested in it.
Xiao Chengxu even gleaned insights into her attitude towards life from this.
Unrestrained, carefree, spontaneous, and uninhibited.
But I never considered the possibility of being with him...
An unprecedented, excruciating pain overwhelmed Xiao Chengxu instantly, like a surging tide. His eyes suddenly reddened, and a layer of glistening tears quietly appeared, revealing endless sorrow and pain hidden in his eyes.
“Yunzhen, I…I…”
Xiao Chengxu's lips trembled, and he choked out, "Please don't go looking for anyone else, okay? Even if it's just temporarily."
Shen Yunzhen looked at him quietly and shook her head: "Xiao Chengxu, this is the lifestyle I have chosen. This is who I am, and I don't intend to change for anyone."
"That……"
The shimmering water suddenly slid down, and Xiao Chengxu forced a smile, took Shen Yunzhen's hand, and pressed it against his chest.
"Can I?"
Shen Yunzhen was taken aback: "What?"
As far as he knew, men during the imperial era were generally arrogant and looked down on women, let alone a crown prince.
Shen Yunzhen never expected that he would actually offer himself as a bedmate.
Xiao Chengxu was, after all, a man of strong will, and he quickly composed himself.
He took a deep breath, straightened his back, as if the vulnerability he had just felt was merely a fleeting illusion.
"Yunzhen, if you really need to find a man, can I be one?"
No matter what, he would never give up on Yunzhen.
If Yunzhen chooses this kind of life, then he will cooperate.
—Let's proceed slowly and methodically.
In short, Yunzhen is destined to belong to him.
His domineering nature is evident in his very being.
How could Xiao Chengxu, who grew up receiving education under imperial rule, possibly be a meek little lamb?
Shen Yunzhen was not stupid. She had only said that to put an end to his hopes. If she agreed now, wouldn't all that she had done earlier have been for nothing?
Just as Shen Yunzhen was about to refuse, 001 suddenly spoke up weakly.
Master, may I speak now?
Shen Yunzhen frowned slightly.
What do you want to say?
[Master, I suggest you grant Xiao Chengxu's request.]
【Why? 】
[Master, although Xiao Chengxu is not the male protagonist of this small world, he possesses a strong destiny. Moreover, because of his status as the crown prince, he carries dragon energy and embodies the wishes of all people. By enjoying the company of such a man, you will reap many benefits. The wisp of world origin in your hand can also absorb this energy, which embodies the prayers and spiritual will of all beings, accelerating its evolution.]
[Dragon energy?]
Shen Yunzhen thought these were all fictional, but she never expected that they actually existed.
001. Explain patiently.
"Dragon energy" is just a common name; at its core, it is the embodiment of the people's faith, a special power generated from the collective will of countless people. If used properly, it can be a very powerful force.
However, this small world doesn't possess any extraordinary power, so the presence or absence of dragon energy makes little difference.
I see.
Shen Yunzhen couldn't help but look Xiao Chengxu up and down.
[He's actually that useful?]
Xiao Chengxu was puzzled, but Shen Yunzhen did not directly reject his suggestion, which gave him hope and made him excited.
He straightened his back and took Shen Yunzhen's hand, letting it wander between his firm and well-defined chest and abdomen.
However, Shen Yunzhen's attention was clearly not on this at the moment. She let him pull her along, but was not moved in the slightest.
As the crown prince, Xiao Chengxu was connected to the dynasty and naturally possessed the aura of a dragon amidst the worship of the people.
[If that's the case, wouldn't the emperor possess even more dragon energy?]
"That's right, Master."
What about Xiao Chengze? Does he also possess dragon energy?
The little point of light inside my head swayed back and forth.
No, although he is the male lead, he is currently just an ordinary prince. According to the original plot, he will only possess dragon aura at the moment of his ascension to the throne. If he fails to ascend the throne and is not the crown prince, then he will never be able to possess dragon aura.
Shen Yunzhen was a little disappointed. She had thought she would get two people with dragon energy, but it turned out she had been too optimistic.
As for the old emperor in the palace, Shen Yunzhen had no interest in him.
Even if there are benefits, she's still picky about food.
If she could get it from the young and handsome Xiao Chengxu, she naturally wouldn't compromise herself.
Anyway, according to the original plot, the old emperor won't live much longer, and Xiao Chengxu's ascension to the throne is only a matter of time.
However, Shen Yunzhen didn't know if the original plot would still play out, so she chose to keep Xiao Chengze around.
If Xiao Chengxu dies according to the original plot, then Xiao Chengze is still an option.
"Yun Zhen?"
Xiao Chengxu noticed that Shen Yunzhen's gaze was on him, but she was clearly distracted, so he couldn't help but call out softly.
Shen Yunzhen snapped out of her thoughts.
"You want to be my man?"
The words were extremely explicit. Xiao Chengxu had never heard such words before, especially coming from the mouth of his beloved.
Xiao Chengxu's cheeks suddenly turned bright red, and he felt like he was on fire.
But he did not back down.
Xiao Chengxu looked directly into Shen Yunzhen's eyes, nodded heavily, and said, word by word, "Yes, I want to be your man."
"I am in good health, and I have never had a concubine. I am still... I am clean..."
As he spoke, a blush crept onto Xiao Chengxu's cheeks, but he did not flinch and continued to introduce himself.
He never imagined that he would one day offer himself up as a concubine, and that he would do so with such pleasure.
Shen Yunzhen said directly, "Okay, I agree."
Xiao Chengxu's eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing brightness.
He repeated incredulously, "Yunzhen, really? Can I really do it?"
Shen Yunzhen replied affirmatively, "Of course."
In that instant, fireworks burst in Xiao Chengxu's mind, and an overwhelming joy instantly overwhelmed him.
Xiao Chengxu could no longer restrain himself. He suddenly reached out and pulled Shen Yunzhen into his arms, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"Yunzhen, I'm so happy, I'm really so happy."
He held the person in his arms tightly, as if afraid that this was just a fleeting dream.
He quickly realized that his action was too abrupt and restrained himself from letting go.
"I'm sorry, Yunzhen, I was just too happy."
Shen Yunzhen took his hand and gently rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb a few times, her tone flippant and subtly seductive.
"You want to be my man? In that case, let me check you out first."
Since you know there are benefits to having this man, what are you hesitating for?
In broad daylight, how could this be...
Grasped by those soft, boneless hands, Xiao Chengxu completely lost his senses and could no longer pay attention to anything else. He was dazed and confused as he was pulled toward the bed.
...
...
Xiao Chengze was anxiously waiting outside the door, straining his ears, eager to know what that treacherous Xiao Chengxu had said to Yun Zhen.
However, no matter how hard he listened, only occasional indistinct sounds came out, and he couldn't make out what was being said at all.
Xiao Chengze became increasingly impatient; if the door hadn't been closed, he would have stuck his head inside.
Without seeing Shen Yunzhen, Xiao Chengze felt that time was passing exceptionally slowly, each day feeling like a year.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly heard strange, intermittent noises coming from inside.
Although he couldn't hear clearly, Xiao Chengze could tell that this was not a conversation at all.
Xiao Chengze complained with dissatisfaction.
"What is Xiao Chengxu up to now?"
Bihe, standing to the side, blushed slightly. Seeing Xiao Chengxu pacing back and forth in frustration, she quickly said:
"Third Prince, let's leave here first."
Xiao Chengze waved his hand impatiently, "You can go now."
He can't leave; he has to wait until Xiao Chengxu comes out.
Honestly, I have no idea what they're doing. Why aren't they coming out yet? It's already so late!
No, we can't wait any longer.
Xiao Chengze hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to knock on the door.
Bihe was startled and quickly grabbed Xiao Chengze.
"Third Prince, please stop knocking!"
Xiao Chengze shoved her away and looked at Bihe with suspicion.
Do you know what the second brother is doing in there?
Otherwise, why would you stop him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chengze became even more anxious.
Bihe held Xiao Chengze tightly once again.
"It's not convenient for you to go in right now."
"Why?"
Xiao Chengze stared intently at Bihe, his eyes full of inquiry.
What was she trying to do by stopping him? Did the second son really intend to harm Yun Zhen?
Xiao Chengze suppressed his anxiety and quietly shifted his feet, preparing to rush in when the enemy was off guard.
Bihe was so surprised that the Third Prince was so clueless, still not understanding the situation even at a time like this, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
"Oh dear... I..."
Bihe gritted her teeth and simply said, "You should know why His Majesty goes to the inner palace."
In her haste, Bihe disregarded the fact that she might offend His Majesty.
"boom--"
Xiao Chengze's mind erupted like a volcano, instantly engulfing his reason. Shock, anger, and resentment surged like raging lava.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the doorway before him, his body trembling slightly with anger. His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white, and he remained speechless for a long time.
