Seeing Qu Qingxi's reproachful actions, He Liufeng smiled indulgently and pointed to his disheveled clothes. Qu Qingxi's movements were slightly wild, revealing half of He Liufeng's muscular chest.
Qu Qingxi blushed. She couldn't help herself; it wasn't intentional. It was He Liufeng who deliberately seduced her.
Having successfully seen Qu Qingxi's shy expression, He Liufeng was satisfied and straightened his clothes. Seeing that Qu Qingxi had also finished tidying herself up, he looked outside.
"Come in."
Ling Mu, standing outside the door, also looked pale. He knew, of course, that the prince and princess were inside, and he didn't want to disturb them. However, this letter was quite important and couldn't be delayed.
Although he didn't know what had happened inside, judging from how long it took the prince to let him in, he figured he'd get a scolding once he got in.
Ling Mu pushed open the door, not daring to look inside. He simply lowered his head and placed the letter on the desk. "Your Highness, news has come that the Zhou Kingdom's envoy has set off and will arrive in the capital in another month."
"Okay, I understand. You can go now." Upon hearing that it was about this matter, He Liufeng also put away his nonchalant expression, glanced at Qu Qingxi, and then opened the letter that Ling Mu had sent.
Qu Qingxi wasn't very interested in these things, so she rummaged through the bookshelf and took the opportunity to retrieve the recipes she had written a few days ago.
As the weather gets colder, she craves hot pot even more.
Qu Qingxi casually flipped through the book and quickly found the recipe. After getting her hands on it, she worried that her purpose was too obvious and that He Liufeng might discover something.
So he picked up the book and walked around the bookshelf again, preparing to find another one to use as a cover.
She wanted to see what books He Liufeng had been reading lately, so she could understand his hobbies.
The books on the bookshelf were all clean, and there was no dust on the bookshelf. We could only judge what He Liufeng had been reading recently by the condition of the books and whether they were close to He Liufeng's desk.
Seeing a somewhat antique-looking book on her right, Qu Qingxi picked it up. It had a dark blue cover with the words "Deep Spring" written on it.
Spring is in full bloom? Qu Qingxi raised an eyebrow. What does that mean? Does this book describe the vibrant scenery of spring?
With a question in mind, Qu Qingxi opened the book, and what did she see?
This book, with its elegant exterior, is actually filled with erotic illustrations. Every page is covered with densely packed images of little people fighting!
Qu Qingxi pursed her lips slightly. No wonder He Liufeng's skills were getting better and better. She thought he had asked someone for advice, but it turned out he was just studying here with a book.
However, to be fair, the little figures on these paintings are incredibly lifelike, almost as realistic as those in modern short films.
I never expected that He Liufeng, who appeared so gentle and refined, was secretly watching this kind of thing. Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a book by its cover.
However, this drawing is quite interesting. When Qu Qingxi was in modern times, her family was very strict and she didn't have time to look at these things.
Although she had heard a lot about these things, seeing it with her own eyes and hearing it with her own ears was a different feeling. Almost all of her experiences came from He Liufeng.
She felt that she could learn from this book.
However, it's best not to let He Liufeng know. Just as Qu Qingxi was about to hide the book and take it away, a pair of hands appeared in front of her and took the book away.
"What, you still want to read it secretly by yourself?" After reading the letter, He Liufeng had a better understanding of the situation. He turned around and saw Qu Qingxi with a book tucked under her arm, engrossed in reading another book.
The book placed there seemed to be that book. He Liufeng quickly got up and tiptoed towards Qu Qingxi.
Sure enough, he saw his princess staring intently at the book. When she tried to hide it and take it with her, He Liufeng was immediately displeased.
"This book is meant to be read by one person in secret. Do you mean to read it with another person?" Caught red-handed by He Liufeng, Qu Qingxi's face showed a hint of guilt, but she quickly calmed down.
At this moment, she couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum to He Liufeng.
“I’ll teach you, you don’t need to look at it.” He Liufeng disagreed. Although the book contained actions, the male characteristics were also very obvious. He didn’t want Qu Qingxi to see any other men’s bodies besides his, not even pictures.
"This is so interesting, how can you be the only one reading it?" Qu Qingxi was unwilling. Originally, she wanted to throw the book directly into her space, but now that He Liufeng had discovered it, she could only keep it in her own hands for the time being.
“Alright, since you’re so eager to see it, why don’t we have a proper ‘discussion’ about it together tonight?” He Liufeng said meaningfully.
Seeing He Liufeng's dangerous gaze, Qu Qingxi choked. He Liufeng seemed unsatisfied and was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.
"Oh, right, look what I found." Qu Qingxi picked up the cookbook, waved it in front of He Liufeng, and prepared to change the subject. If this topic went any deeper, she felt that she might not be able to leave the study today.
"What is this?" He Liufeng looked at it suspiciously. When did this book appear in his study? How come he didn't know about it?
"I just flipped through it, and it's a cookbook. It looks pretty good. Why are you keeping such a good thing to yourself?" Qu Qingxi turned the tables and blamed He Liufeng first, handing the cookbook to him.
Since learning from Shen Shuyan that Cuiwei Pavilion was under He Liufeng's control, Qu Qingxi changed the font upon her return.
Last time, Qu Qingxi wrote so many poems and entrusted Cuiwei Pavilion to deliver them to the major families in the capital. Qu Qingxi even suspected that she had been exposed. Just in case, Qu Qingxi changed the font after returning to avoid He Liufeng discovering anything.
Of course, Qu Qingxi also used some methods to age the recipes to avoid making them look too new or fake.
"A recipe?" He Liufeng took it in surprise and flipped through it carefully. When did he get a recipe in his study?
He had been studying since childhood, and while he wouldn't say he had read every single book in his study, he did remember most of them. However, he was certain that this particular book was not in his study.
He Liufeng carefully flipped through the book. It looked like it was from a few years ago, not very old, but not very new either. The contents were quite novel, with titles like hot pot, spicy hot pot, and fried chicken.
He Liufeng glanced through it and found that there was quite a lot of information recorded inside. However, what attracted him most were the characters on it. The characters were elegant and vigorous, clearly written by someone with excellent calligraphy skills.
