Why are you unhappy? This prince is unhappy too. It's just with a man. If we keep talking, are we going to start arguing...?
Huangfu Jue said, "I'm not restricting your right to make friends, it's just that things are very chaotic outside lately. You don't know what dangers you might encounter if you go out rashly. People's hearts are unpredictable, and I'm afraid you might suddenly disappear again."
Qi Qi lowered his head and remained silent: "I understand."
The two lay in bed that night. Huangfu Jue woke up in the middle of the night and saw that Qi Qi was sleeping with his back to him. He had a lot of troubles in his heart and nowhere to vent them, so he quietly got up and went to the study.
He picked up the book that his subordinates had collected over the past few days; the book described matters related to homosexuality.
The issue of homosexuality has existed throughout history. Some people are born with it, while others develop it later in life. Huangfu Jue read the text carefully and pondered it for a while.
In the past, it seems that Lai Bao didn't play with the palace maids much... Wait, Huangfu Jue recalled that he was always surrounded by eunuchs and palace servants, and had much more contact with male guards than female guards. Could it be that this is why Lai Bao likes men?
It wasn't uncommon for eunuchs to have sexual relations in the palace; they had even witnessed it firsthand. It was said that because eunuchs had lost that part of their bodies, their need for that thing was no less than that of normal men, and they were even more psychologically sensitive.
Huangfu Jue knew he got along well with Lai Bao, but he couldn't guarantee that Lai Bao wouldn't fall in love with someone. He had never thought about this before, but that was when he was a child. Now that he was older, he knew that men all needed to find wives. The beautiful maids that his mother had sent to get close to him had been intentionally trying to get close to him, and Huangfu Jue was not unaware of this.
They asked themselves some questions, and then, using the perspective of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, they thoroughly evaluated Lao Wu from head to toe, inside and out.
Finally, Huangfu Jue realized with a heavy heart that, among the men he knew, Lao Wu was actually not bad...
Although Laibao is a year older than him, his mind is as innocent as when he was a child. His age is all on his face, and he's only half-hearted. He's in the prime of his youth, and who knows, he might be thinking about finding a lover to spend his life with...
Qi Qi was shaken awake from a deep sleep by Huangfu Jue, and wanted nothing more than to kick him: "What are you doing!"
Huangfu Jue said mysteriously, "Lai Bao, shall we come and see something good?"
Qi Qi, utterly dejected, clutched the blanket and rolled over: "We can look at it tomorrow, okay, sweetie?"
Huangfu Jue shook him awake again: "No, watch it now, then go to sleep!"
Qi Qi: "No."
Huangfu Jue threatened, "If you don't watch, you won't be sleeping tonight."
Qi Qi: "..."
After Huangfu Jue brought the lamp and set it up, the two lay on the bed and opened the book.
Qi Qi rubbed his eyes, confirming that all the pictures and words were... pictures and words about spring.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
Huangfu Jue had seen it before, but now that he was watching it with Lai Bao, he felt incredibly embarrassed and his face was burning: "Just look at it, what do you think?"
Qi Qi: "This...this..."
"Your Highness, are you thinking of taking a concubine?"
Huangfu Jue: "...No, just looking."
Qi Qi flipped through the pages with great interest, commenting with relish: "Not bad, not bad, it's the nature of food... Wow, there's even something like this, hehehe..."
Seeing the wide-eyed, incredulous look on his face, Huangfu Jue suddenly wondered if what he was doing was wrong, and what if he was leading him astray...?
"Don't just look, tell me what you think?"
Qi Qi: "...It's alright, but something feels off."
"What's strange about it?"
Qi Qi thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "Your Highness, you are still young, there's no need to rush. How about we look at it again in a couple of years? I'll keep this for you for now, and you're not allowed to look at it again later."
Huangfu Jue never expected him to say this. Still young, she couldn't help but curl her toes and said with a forced smile, "You're only a year older than me, how can you look but I can't?"
Qi Qi: "That's different. Being a year older still makes you a brother."
Huangfu Jue said, "Who are you to call the older brother? I think you're just the younger brother. Tell me, what do you think of this?"
Qi Qi was confused: "What do you mean, how?"
Huangfu Jue: "Do you think women are good or not?"
Qi Qi: "No, let's sort out the relationship here first. Do you mean the meaning of the picture is good, or the woman herself is good, or something else?"
Huangfu Jue: "Of course it depends on whether the woman is in love or not. Have you ever thought about finding a woman you love and growing old together with her?"
Qi Qi: "Is it your sweetheart?"
Huangfu Jue emphasized: "The woman in my heart."
Qi Qi looked at him suspiciously, then said excitedly, "Your Highness, you don't happen to have a girl you like and don't know how to pursue her, so you've come to ask me?!"
Huangfu Jue got angry: "Do you think I don't know how to pursue someone? Were all those love stories you told to ghosts?"
Qi Qi yawned: "Alright, alright, if that's the case, let's go to sleep. It's late at night, and I'm sleepy even though you're not."
Huangfu Jue wasn't about to let him off so easily, and insisted, "Tell me, haven't you ever thought about finding someone to live with in the future?"
Qi Qi was truly impressed by him: "Let's talk about the future later."
“Tell me now, you’ve never been so perfunctory with me before.”
Qi Qi glanced at him: "You want to say it, right? Alright, Your Highness, I'll tell you, I actually already have someone I like."
Huangfu Jue suddenly roared, "I won't listen!"
Qi Qi was shocked.
