Lan Shuang rolled her eyes in her heart, you're so disgusting!
888 was also quite disgusted: "This prince is lustful by nature, but because he is in this position, with the emperor and empress above him and the princess watching over him, he has never caused any trouble. But in fact, all the beautiful maids in the East Palace have been harmed by him. Host, you have to be careful!"
Lan Shuang comforted him: "Don't worry, although I can't just give him the cold shoulder, I can fool him."
888: "Well, I trust your ability to deceive people."
Lanzhou University is not exaggerating!
Seeing that Lan Shuang did not dodge, the prince became bolder. Just as his fingertips were about to touch Lan Shuang's hand, Lan Shuang suddenly took a step back and dodged.
The prince's eyes suddenly darkened: "Saintess?"
Lan Shuang bowed to him and asked righteously, "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
Her expression was too serious, and the prince was stunned by her question: "I..."
"Your Highness!" Lan Shuang interrupted him, straightening up. She looked at him neither servile nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice, "This is the Imperial Master's residence, not the Eastern Palace. I am a Saint, not Your Highness's concubine. If Your Highness reaches out to grab me, and someone sees you, what will become of Your Highness's reputation?"
The prince frowned: "Why is there someone here? Isn't it already..."
"What if?"
Lan Shuang sighed, "How could a humble servant like me, Your Highness, be interested in me? Damaging my reputation is a minor matter, but damaging Your Highness's reputation is a major one. If this gets out, how will Your Highness survive in the court?"
Prince: “…this…”
He hesitated a little. It seemed to be true, but it wasn't that serious, right?
"I like a woman, and we are in love with each other, so what's wrong with that?"
The prince asked without much confidence.
Lan Shuang continued to persuade him, putting on a sincere and earnest look, "Your Highness, this is a critical moment. Don't lose sight of the big picture."
"If I were to follow Your Highness without any clear reason, I would not only be degrading myself, but also insulting Your Highness! How could a decent girl with good manners and respect for her husband secretly meet with a man outside her family and even flirt with him? If Your Highness met a girl like that, would he still think she was good?"
The prince shook his head honestly.
"That's it. I respect Your Highness and naturally wish to enter the Eastern Palace with a clean slate. But now is not the right time. The Crown Princess is just pregnant, and Your Highness is already eagerly seeking out beautiful concubines for pleasure. If the ministers heard this, what would they think? Would they report Your Highness for this?"
The prince shuddered and immediately thought of those hideous and aggressive censors.
He nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Lan Shuang took another step closer, staring down at the Crown Prince's face, and said sinisterly, "What's more, if this gets to the Emperor and the Empress, how will they view Your Highness? Will they think you're frivolous and disrespectful to your wife? If it gets to the Crown Princess's family, will they suspect you've entrusted this to the wrong person?"
The prince was sweating profusely, his lips trembling, and his voice was weak: "Yes..."
Lan Shuang nodded gravely. "That's right. Now is your chance to secure your position as Crown Prince. The other princes are all eyeing your position. If you make any mistakes, they'll definitely take advantage of you and take a piece of your flesh. Do you think they'll just wait for you to reveal your flaws?"
The prince could no longer sit still after hearing this. He stood up suddenly, sweat dripping from his face, and said breathlessly, "The Saint Lady is absolutely right. I was too proud of myself. From now on, I will be more careful with my words and actions!"
As he said this, he bowed to Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang bowed in return, "I was just speaking from the bottom of my heart. Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."
"No, no, no! You are absolutely right! You really care about me, I understand!" The prince looked at Lan Shuang with burning eyes, like a hungry dog looking at a bone.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Do you understand the fuck?
The prince hesitated to speak, then bowed to Lan Shuang again. "I will remember the Saint's love. When I have consolidated my power, I will marry her with great ceremony. It is getting late, so I will take my leave."
After saying this, he stood up and strode away, his back revealing a sense of elegance.
Lan Shuang finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes. After saying so much, he's still so evil?
But it’s okay. I will get married when you settle down. You can marry me in your dreams then.
After witnessing the whole process, 888 gave Lan Shuang a thumbs up and was amazed at her ability to deceive people.
She reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions, and made it seem like touching a young girl's hand was a grave sin. She fooled the prince around so much that he almost put her on a pedestal and put her up as a sacrifice.
Who wouldn’t say after seeing this: WTF!
Lan Shuang sat down at the table and rubbed her legs. "Tsk, who said that talking while standing doesn't hurt your back? Not only does my back hurt, but my legs hurt too."
888: "Host, you've worked hard! But it's really great! You even made a dead end alive!"
"After so many worlds, I haven't improved in other aspects, but I've mastered the art of speaking the truth to people and telling lies to ghosts!"
Lan Shuang picked up the teapot on the table, but found it was empty. She stood up disappointedly and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the room."
She turned to go back, but saw Lan Ye coming down the corridor. His masked eyes glanced at the empty table and asked with an unpredictable expression, "Is the prince gone?"
"Yeah, let's go."
Lan Shuang said with a fake smile: "Your Highness is very satisfied, godfather, don't worry."
Lan Ye raised an eyebrow: "What did you say to him?"
"I didn't say anything. I just analyzed the pros and cons for him. The prince wasn't stupid. He knew the seriousness of the situation, so he stopped pestering me."
Lan Shuang's mouth was dry and she just wanted to drink some water. She nodded to Lan Ye and said, "If godfather has nothing else to say, I'll go back first."
She walked past Lan Ye without looking away and without any regrets.
Lan Ye frowned and looked at her back, lost in thought.
As the autumn wind blew, the wind chimes under the eaves jingled, making him feel a little uneasy. He felt that something was becoming increasingly out of control.
…
In the following few days, Lan Shuang had a rare moment of peace and quiet. Lan Ye didn't know what was wrong with him, but he didn't look for her again, nor did he force her to flirt with any prince like a client. She was happy and comfortable, staying in her room reading storybooks.
Until one day, when the maid was sorting out her jewelry, she found that a hairpin was missing. Several people gathered together to check in a low voice, and after checking for a long time, they confirmed that one was missing.
"The mutton-fat jade peach blossom hairpin is gone."
"That's the Saint's favorite thing, how come it's gone?"
"I remember the Saint wore it to a banquet last time."
"Did it get lost in the chrysanthemum garden?"
Lan Shuang was leaning on the couch, reading a storybook. She was just reading the exciting part when the maids chattered like birds, disturbing her concentration. She pressed her brows and looked up. "What's wrong?"
"Ah, Saint!"
The maids immediately turned around and stood in a row. One of them whispered, "Saint, your peach blossom hairpin is gone."
Lan Shuang was confused for a moment, "Peach Blossom Hairpin?"
888 reminded: "Host, you fell when you fought Xin Wujiang last time."
Lan Shuang: "I thought I heard some sound."
