Duofu excitedly rolled around on the soft mat, let out a loud yelp, and gestured for Su Peisheng to continue. This gossip was too explosive! Why hadn't Su Peisheng told him these kinds of important stories before?
This time, Su Peisheng also had no intention of letting Duofu down.
Since I've already said it, I should say it all in one go.
Anyway, his master only told him to let Duofu know about the Crown Prince, but he didn't tell him how many he should know. He should tell Duofu about all the Crown Prince's romantic history so that his little darling can learn something.
“My little ancestor, you don’t know, His Highness the Crown Prince has quite a few male favorites. This one must be a recent addition, and he likes him very much, so he keeps him by his side.”
Duofu didn't feel anything when he heard this. Ever since he was reborn into this dynasty, he knew that it was impossible to have a monogamous marriage like the social legal system.
Moreover, even in modern societies governed by the rule of law, although people may appear to be monogamous, those who are wealthy and powerful still have many other wives outside the marriage.
Duofu once saw a video on Douyin of a rich guy who lived in an entire neighborhood full of women he kept, including his first wife.
Duofu's worldview shattered in that instant. He had never even had a girlfriend, and this guy had already rented out a whole yard for him. Wasn't he afraid of running out of ammunition and dying?
Duofu wasn't surprised when he heard that the Crown Prince kept several male lovers. He was powerful and influential, so what was wrong with keeping a few men?
This Crown Prince might rebel against Emperor Kangxi later.
When Su Peisheng saw that his little darling was accepting the situation well, his eyes flickered. It seemed that his little darling had absolutely no interest in that kind of thing.
It's just that their master has already married and had children, with a whole bunch of women in the harem. How could they be worthy of their little ancestor, who has such a delicate appearance and beautiful features?
Especially the little ancestor, who is so innocent and lively, is even less suited to getting involved in the master's mess.
Su Peisheng's smile was genuine, a heartfelt laugh, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"You have no idea what happens to those male favorites. When they are favored, they live a life of luxury and privilege. But once they lose the Crown Prince's favor, all the women in the harem and the servants around the Crown Prince will trample on them."
Duofu was astonished when he heard this. He never expected that the male concubine would suffer such a tragic fate. The Crown Prince was too unkind. After all, the man had served him for a while. He should at least be given some gold and silver so that the man could go out and live a normal life.
Su Peisheng carefully observed the little ancestor's expression and continued the previous topic.
"Those are considered lucky; at least they survived. Some didn't even survive."
"I wonder if you remember a few years ago, the Crown Prince's palace servants were completely replaced. It was because His Majesty discovered that he was having an affair with a male favorite, and all those handsome eunuchs were beaten to death by His Majesty."
Duofu nodded. Of course he remembered that his owner's expression was very strange during that time. He even had a cold face towards him, as if Duofu owed him a gold ingot.
He Duofu had never suffered such injustice.
That very night, he retaliated. While the Fourth Prince was fast asleep, Duofu secretly got up, poured a glass of water, and carefully sprinkled it on the Fourth Prince's lower body. It was hot at the time, so he wasn't worried about catching a cold. Duofu poured the water without hesitation, filling three glasses. Seeing a large map drawn on the light blue sheet, he secretly put the glass back and lay down inside as if nothing had happened, far away from the Fourth Prince, so as not to wrongly accuse him in the morning.
As Duofu was about to fall asleep, he kept telling himself that he must get up early tomorrow and absolutely not miss this opportunity. He had to loudly tell Su Peisheng that his master was still wetting the bed at such an old age, which would not sound good if word got out.
Despite telling himself to get up, when Duofu opened his eyes, the sun was already high in the sky, and the sheets and blankets on his bed had been changed.
He was fast asleep and didn't notice anything.
When the Fourth Prince returned that day, he stared at him with a half-smile all day, making him feel like every hair on his body was standing on end.
Duofu felt that it would be better to have that same icy face facing him, with that half-smiling, half-serious look in his eyes, which was even more frightening.
However, since then, the Fourth Prince has returned to normal, at least he no longer gives him a cold look.
As for whether he was cold to others, that's none of his business.
It turns out it was all the Crown Prince's fault. His favoritism towards male lovers was discovered, so why is the Fourth Prince still unhappy?
They must be secretly pleased.
Duofu's big eyes suddenly flashed, and something flashed through his mind.
The handsome young eunuch he just looked at seemed to have phoenix eyes similar to those of the Fourth Prince.
It was rare for Duofu to use his brain, based on the conclusions he had drawn from watching historical dramas over the years.
Could it be that this Crown Prince has feelings for his pet owner?
Duofu thought for a moment, then shook his head. The two were too different in temperament. Apart from their eyes being slightly similar, they had nothing in common.
Moreover, many princes and noblemen in the palace have phoenix eyes, as if they inherited them from Emperor Kangxi.
Duofu racked his brains to recall, and it seemed that Kangxi also had a pair of majestic phoenix eyes, with the corners of his eyes hooked inwards and the ends slightly upturned. His eyes had a clear distinction between the black pupils and the whites of his pupils. It seemed that they were indeed born to the same father.
They even inherited their eyesight.
His Highness the Crown Prince also seems to have phoenix eyes. I forgot about it. I used to stare at his handsome and noble face and never really looked at his eyes.
"Sigh." Duofu sighed in disappointment. For some reason, he felt a little disappointed.
Otherwise, this would be pure orthopedics.
He didn't understand before.
Why does his cousin like these things so much?
Now that he's here, his life is so boring except for reading some storybooks. All he can do is look at some beautiful women and handsome men to broaden his horizons.
Having seen so many handsome men, especially in the palace where there are all sorts of types, the sight of the sword-wielding guards around Emperor Kangxi is truly dazzling.
Those dozen or so were all uniquely beautiful, it was amazing.
And then there are Kangxi's sons who have recently grown up. When they were little, they were all chubby and quite cute.
Having grown up in the palace, every prince had a noble appearance. In addition, their mothers must have been good-looking, otherwise they would not have been favored by Emperor Kangxi. Both parents had good genes.
How could a baby born be ugly?
Especially that Ninth Prince, Duofu gritted his teeth, he was almost more handsome than him.
Duofu always called him a sissy behind his back, saying he was prettier than a woman. He had inherited all the good qualities of a woman, and he looked more like a princess than the princess born to Emperor Kangxi. His beautiful appearance was so stunning that he was practically born to the wrong gender.
