The prince held the book up to He Xue's eyes, and when He Xue looked down, she realized it really was the erotic picture book.
He Xue's face immediately turned bright red. "Brother Crown Prince, how could you lie to me? This isn't a book at all!"
“How did you lie to me, Your Highness? That’s right, this isn’t a book, it’s a picture! It really is a story about two people! Where did I go wrong?” the Crown Prince said, suppressing a laugh.
"You were looking at it so intently, I thought you were reading a very serious book!"
"What's wrong with this? I take everything very seriously!"
"Brother Crown Prince, I think you're talking nonsense with a straight face!"
"Haha!" The Crown Prince chuckled, pulling He Xue even closer. "He Xue, which one do you like? Let's try it out, shall we?"
He Xue quickly turned around and covered the prince's mouth with her hand, seriously doubting whether this person was really the prince.
"Ah!" He Xue exclaimed in surprise and immediately withdrew her hand. The prince had actually licked her palm.
"He Xue, shall we try each one?" the Crown Prince asked, nibbling on He Xue's earlobe.
"Brother Crown Prince, if you keep dawdling, you'll be late for your greetings!" He Xue tried to break free from the Crown Prince's grasping hands.
"It's alright. The wedding night only happens once in a lifetime. Father won't blame me for being late in paying my respects!" the Crown Prince said.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue, who was pouting her red lips and glaring at him with displeasure. He had no intention of paying his respects at all; he only wanted to cherish the person in front of him.
He Xue's body was perfectly rounded and exquisite, making him, who was experiencing love for the first time, unable to resist.
"No way!" He Xue said firmly. If they were late in paying their respects, the whole palace would know what they had done, and they didn't want to become the subject of gossip!
After saying that, Xue was about to get out of bed, but her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince reacted quickly and caught He Xue, letting her sit on his lap. "Did you bump your head?"
"No!" He Xue said, looking at the Crown Prince with dissatisfaction.
"Is He Xue blaming me?" the Crown Prince asked with a smile.
"If it's not your fault, who is?"
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault!" the Crown Prince comforted He Xue. "Let me check if she bumped into anything."
"No!" He Xue pressed down on the prince's restless hands.
"He Xue, have you misunderstood something? I just wanted to check if you were injured?"
“Brother Crown Prince, no need to check, I’m fine!” He Xue said as she stood up.
The crown prince smiled helplessly.
Qingdai and Xia Bing, who were outside the door, heard He Xue's voice. Just as they were about to go in, He Zhu stopped them, saying, "Ladies, please wait for our master to call us in!"
Based on his experience, if the Crown Prince needed someone to serve him, he would definitely call for him. The fact that he hasn't called for anyone means he definitely doesn't want anyone to come in and disturb him.
"Will it be too late to pay my respects?" Xia Bing asked, wondering if her princess would be punished if she was late.
"No, the Crown Prince is here!" He Zhu said.
"Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch He!" Xia Bing and Qing Dai bowed to He Zhu.
"You two are too kind. I just know the Crown Prince better because I've spent a lot of time by his side."
"We'll need your guidance, ladies, to serve the Crown Princess well in the future!" He Zhu said, bowing.
“Okay!” Qingdai and Xia Bing nodded.
After a while, Qingdai and Xiabing heard Hexue calling them and then brought in their toiletries.
Xue stole a glance and saw that it was a eunuch serving the Crown Prince, not a palace maid, which put her at ease.
"Your Highness, the matrons from the Imperial Household Department have arrived!" He Zhu announced from outside the door.
"Come in!" the crown prince said.
The matrons from the Imperial Household Department stepped forward to greet the Crown Prince and He Xue, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness and Crown Princess. This servant has come to collect the silk handkerchiefs used for testing the blood!"
While getting ready, Xue heard this and became curious. She secretly glanced over and saw the matron from the Imperial Household Department putting the silk handkerchief into the box.
He Xue was very curious about how they checked the documents, and whether they could detect any fraud. However, He Xue only thought about it in her mind; she was too embarrassed to ask such a question aloud.
The Crown Prince and He Xue ate a simple meal before getting up to pay their respects.
In Cixi Palace, the Empress Dowager looked at the uninvited guests before her with a rather troubled headache!
