Chapter 205 She's cheating on herself; she's not usually a man.
A room in the East Palace.
Shen Chu stared at the Four Treasures of the Study laid out in front of him, idly twirling a calligraphy brush.
The dossier the crown prince asked him to write was, of course, impossible for him to write.
I wonder if Pei Yuan has arrived in the capital yet.
She could only stall the Crown Prince for one more night at most.
Bang.
The door was pushed open.
The crown prince strode in, his hands behind his back.
Shen Chu put down her pen, stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince walked to the main seat and sat down. "How is Lord Shen's writing progressing?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am still pondering this."
The prince stroked his chin and suddenly smiled.
He clapped his hands, and two beautiful palace maids entered from outside the door.
The two were also carrying a box made of rosewood.
The Crown Prince raised his chin slightly. "Young Master Shen grew up in a Taoist temple in Huzhou. He was able to pass the imperial examination with top honors and become a fifth-rank censor. It must have been a very difficult journey for him."
Your father, the Marquis of Changning, does not hold a high position in the court, and your family cannot offer you much help.
Do you know how many years it would take to climb up from the fifth rank to the first rank by relying on yourself?
Some people never even reach the fourth rank in their entire lives.
Shen Chu smiled slightly, "What does Your Highness mean?"
The Crown Prince smiled smugly, “Chen Chu, let’s not beat around the bush. I might as well tell you, if you are willing to hand over the witnesses and evidence from the Changsha Salt Administration to me…”
"I can guarantee you a promotion of two ranks within a year, and not only that, but also..."
He snapped his fingers at the palace maid.
The two palace maids opened the boxes respectively.
One box contained a thick stack of silver notes, while the other box was filled with crystal-clear South Sea pearls.
"These things are all yours, including these two beauties."
So what? What do you want to be an official for? Isn't it just to get ahead, high rank, big salary, money, and women?
"As long as you are willing to serve me, I guarantee you will have all these things within your grasp."
Shen Chu glanced at the box, her eyes lowered.
The crown prince gave him a wink.
The two palace maids immediately put down the box and walked over with great charm.
Two people, one of them leaning against Shen Chu as if she were boneless and frail.
"Young Master Shen must be exhausted from traveling these past few days. Let me massage your shoulders."
Another woman, glamorous and charming, giggled as she reached out to take off Chen Chu's shoes.
"This servant is best at foot massage. Wanqiu, please help Master Shen loosen his muscles and bones."
Shen Chu was momentarily dumbfounded.
It wasn't because the Crown Prince used a honey trap on her.
Instead, they were dumbfounded by the Crown Prince's magnanimity.
Such a charming and delicate palace maid must have served the Crown Prince, right?
He had his woman entertain the courtiers.
Tsk, what's wrong with his brain?
This is the first time I've ever seen a man who cheats on himself.
Or does the crown prince think that if he bestows women he has taken with him upon his subjects, those subjects should be grateful to him?
When the Crown Prince saw Shen Chu being surrounded by two beauties, looking dazed and confused, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
So what if he's a son of a noble family but an illegitimate child? He was raised in a Taoist temple after all.
I'm afraid he's still a virgin.
Xiangyu and Wanqiu were sent by their servants to be "slender horses" from Yangzhou.
It is said that she has been carefully groomed since childhood and is well-versed in the art of serving men.
He enjoyed it once when it was first delivered.
Xiangyu has fair and delicate skin, soft and boneless, so fragile that she evokes pity.
Wanqiu is charming and graceful, with a variety of styles.
The two women were incredibly skilled in bed, and even he, who didn't like mature women, found it very enjoyable.
Later, he often used the two women to entertain and win over some of his ministers.
Sure enough, those stubborn and unyielding officials eventually fell at the feet of Xiangyu and Wanqiu.
There was no news that Xiangyu and Wanqiu couldn't get out of each other in bed.
What's more, the two of them are going out together today.
Haha, how many men can be as virtuous as Liu Xiahui and not love having a soft and fragrant woman in their arms?
The Crown Prince saw that Xiangyu had almost completely leaned on Chen Chu's shoulder, gently rubbing her soft body against his back.
Her slender, soft hand slid down from her shoulder to the front, then parted her clothes and reached inside.
Meanwhile, Wanqiu had already taken off Chenchu's shoes.
One hand was pinching his foot, while the other hand reached into his trouser leg and was kneading it inch by inch upwards.
Oh.
A naive boy like Shen Chu, who has never seen the world, would probably surrender in no time.
He was waiting to see Shen Chu's disheveled appearance the next morning.
Even if Shen Chu refuses, the crime of a fifth-rank censor frivolously disrespecting palace maids in the Eastern Palace will be enough to get him into serious trouble.
The crown prince left with a cold laugh.
As soon as the door closed, Chen Chu immediately reached out and grabbed the two men's arms, pulling their hands away.
If they keep touching her, her disguise as a man will be exposed.
"Xiangyu, Wanqiu, right?"
Xiangyu covered her mouth and smiled, leaning softly against Chen Chu's shoulder.
"Young Master Shen, you've memorized someone's name so quickly."
Wanqiu flicked the handkerchief in her hand, and the soft handkerchief, carrying a refreshing fragrance, slid across Chenchu's cheek.
Shen Chu grabbed the handkerchief.
Wanqiu giggled, "I never expected that Lord Shen would be so romantic. I'm really looking forward to tonight."
Xiangyu hugged Chen Chu's arm and said coquettishly, "I'll hug you first, you're mine."
Charming without being vulgar, delicate without being weak.
Shen Chu couldn't help but think that most men would find it hard to resist such temptation.
Is she an ordinary man?
She is not usually a man.
hehe.
She put her arms around one of them and whispered, "If you can't get anything out of me tonight, will you be punished?"
Xiangyu and Wanqiu were taken aback and exchanged a glance.
Wanqiu giggled, "What are you saying, Lord Shen? The night is too short, let's not waste time."
Shen Chu chuckled, "Of course."
She took the two women in her arms and walked towards the bed.
Before long, the large bed in the room began to creak and groan.
And the soft, intimate moans of a woman.
"Ouch, sir, be gentle."
"Ah...sir, you're so mean! Ah, I can't take it anymore!"
The people guarding outside the door exchanged a glance and revealed a triumphant smile.
The noises inside the room were enough to make one blush and their heart race.
"Since you love people so much, why don't you just tell them where you hid them?"
"I won't give it to you unless you tell me. Are you itchy all over right now, sir?"
Then came Shen Chu's slightly hurried voice, "I...I'm hiding in an extremely safe place."
"Sir, please tell me where it is, and I'll give it to you."
"Hehe, I specially left someone to guard the valley of Ersheng Mountain in the east of the city."
The guards outside the door exchanged a glance and immediately left to report to the Crown Prince.
The crown prince smiled dismissively.
"As expected of someone raised in a Taoist temple, they've never seen the world and couldn't handle it so quickly?"
"If only I had just let Xiangyu handle it alone."
Prime Minister Feng frowned. "In the valley of the Two Sacred Mountains east of the city? Shen Chu wasn't lying, was he? Should we...?"
The Crown Prince scoffed and interrupted him, "Uncle is being too cautious. How many men can resist the temptations of Xiangyu and Wanqiu and still think about lying at this time?"
Besides, our people say that Shen Chu did indeed enter the city through the east gate.
Prime Minister Feng thought of Xiangyu and Wanqiu's alluring appearances and fell silent.
The Crown Prince summoned his trusted aides and ordered, "Immediately lead men to search the valley of the Two Sacred Mountains in the east of the city. If any Flying Eagle Guards obstruct the search, kill them on the spot."
Just then, two dark figures silently landed in the East Palace.
It was Sun Yan and Pei Yuan.
As soon as I landed, I heard footsteps coming from the side.
The two immediately jumped up into the tree.
Two eunuchs came around the corner and spoke in hushed tones.
"Young Master Shen looks like a gentle and refined gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be so fierce in bed."
"Two women in one night, tsk, he's still young."
As the eunuch walked by, Pei Yuan jumped down expressionlessly, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Sun Yanhu's body trembled as he felt the chill emanating from his prince, and his scalp tingled.
Sigh, it's as if he can see countless shredded potatoes beckoning to him again.
Hmph~
