Back at Qingzhi Courtyard, Changning quickly removed all her jewelry. The ruby headdress was truly beautiful, but it pulled so hard on her scalp, it hurt terribly.
She'd been busy all day, and didn't know if the Prince would come tonight. But she didn't care; the Princess Consort would handle it. She then pulled out her storybook to read again.
That erotic novel he mentioned last time was truly unfair to Yinzhen. He had someone buy a dozen or so of the most popular ones on the market, flipped through them, and found they were all romance novels. Thinking Changning would like them, he didn't check them carefully before sending them over. Who would have thought they contained such juicy content? However, it certainly gave Yinzhen a good time, and he's already looking forward to the next one.
Changning herself used to enjoy reading novels, especially those about domineering CEOs, such as "The Wolfish CEO, Be Gentle," "The CEO's Personal Secretary," and "The CEO's Little Darling is Hard to Coax." She must have read more than three hundred of them.
Thinking about her girlfriends' gathering next month, Changning thought about finding a storyteller. However, there weren't any new stories in the current ones, so she decided to write an ancient version of "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me".
Without further ado, Changning picked up her pen and began by naming the main character. Since it was set in ancient times, the character couldn't be a CEO; considering their identities, she decided to write "Domineering Prince."
As she began to write, Changning already had a clear outline of the story. The prince was named Aisin Gioro Aotian, and he was powerful, influential, and handsome. Most importantly, he was pursued by many beautiful women, yet he remained chaste and exuded an air of asceticism because he suffered from a disease that prevented any woman from getting close to him; otherwise, he would become cold all over and lose consciousness.
The female protagonist, Shen Niannian, is innocent, intelligent, beautiful, and kind; she is a fisherwoman. The two are from vastly different social classes, but unexpectedly, this fisherwoman turns out to be the only one who can get close to the prince. Thus, their entangled love story begins.
With an outline in mind, Changning began by writing the first chapter.
Chapter One, Returning to the Capital. Shen Niannian, now known as Niohuru Niannian, transforms from a fisherwoman into a noblewoman of a prestigious family, and even the owner of dozens of shops. She also has a clever and lively three-year-old son. One day, Niohuru Niannian is walking with her son on the streets of the capital when they are spotted by a friend of the prince. Looking at the little boy's face, so strikingly similar to the prince's, the friend falls into deep thought…
Changning was engrossed in writing and didn't even hear Chuixue and Granny Zhang inviting her to dinner.
What is written here?
A familiar male voice rang out, and Changning looked up abruptly, only to see Yinzhen peering in her direction. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly covered her face with the paper, forcing a smile, "It's nothing, why did you come over, Your Highness?"
"I just came from the Fujin's place and will be sleeping here tonight. I heard you suffered some injustice today."
Yinzhen's gaze deepened, and Changning quickly took his arm, walking towards the couch and away from the desk. "That Guo Luoluo woman has such a foul mouth. I couldn't stand it, so I slapped her across the face. Don't you think I'm amazing?"
Yinzhen laughed, "Impressive, how could it not be impressive? You have a 'Rouge Tiger' at home!"
Changning smiled as she helped Yinzhen change his clothes, saying, "I thought Your Highness would definitely drink at today's banquet."
Yinzhen stroked her jade-like cheek. "I ate and drank the hangover medicine before coming. Don't worry about the Eighth Prince, I will get justice for you. That Guo Luoluo woman is really outrageous." As he said this, his face seemed to be covered with frost, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Changning knew this was the perfect opportunity to act cute, so she nestled into the man's chest and mumbled, "As long as Master remembers Ning'er, that's enough." Wow~ Who would have thought that I, Fucha Changning, would one day pretend to be a green tea b*tch!
Yinzhen, however, was quite pleased. He had always liked gentle and considerate women. He gently stroked Changning's back and coaxed her softly, "I know you're sensible. Is there anything you'd like to be compensated for this grievance?"
Changning shook her head, then nodded. "Master, I promised Wanhe that I would invite them to the manor to watch a play next month, is that alright?"
"Wanhe?"
"Oh, that's the fourteenth prince's concubine, Shushu Gioro. There's also the fifth prince's concubine, Tatarai, and the thirteenth prince's concubine, Zhaojia."
Yinzhen nodded. He had a good relationship with the fifth and thirteenth princes, and it would be better to maintain close ties with their families. But the fourteenth prince… he was always unruly and liked to contradict him; having such a younger brother was a real headache. However, it was rare for Changning to have a friend he got along with, so he wouldn't object.
"Sure, you should treat them well."
"Smack!" Changning happily tiptoed and kissed Yinzhen. "I knew you were the best!"
That kiss ignited the man's passion, and he immediately pulled the woman onto the bed, where they began their passionate lovemaking.
Hearing the hot, ambiguous low moans and soft groans coming from inside the room, Granny Zhang and Su Peisheng exchanged glances and then told the people to move away. It seemed that dinner would have to be served later.
A night of tenderness left Yinzhen beaming with joy, and he got out of bed full of energy. Looking at the woman's sleeping face, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Before leaving, he saw a stack of Xuan paper on the desk. He remembered that when he came in last night, Changning was writing something and trying to hide it from him. He became curious and went over to pick it up.
"Woman, where have you been for the past three years? Did you think you could escape my grasp?"
"Woman, you started this fire, so you have to put it out yourself."
"If you wanted to provoke me, then you succeeded."
"They say no, but their bodies tell a different story."
Looking at these quotes, Yinzhen's face turned pale and then flushed, his tendency to feel embarrassed for others becoming apparent. If he wasn't mistaken, was Changning writing a story herself? But why was this story so strange?
Is this Niohuru Nian Nian a fisherwoman in disguise? Did she run away after becoming pregnant with Prince Aisin Gioro Aotian's child? And then return with her child after three years? Everything about her seems strange.
Do women all like this kind of story?
Yinzhen remarked that this was a day that refreshed his understanding of women. However, that last sentence was rather interesting. He said no, but his actions betrayed him. Recalling Changning's actions last night, it seemed that was indeed the case.
Yinzhen said that he understood women better now.
The next day, after washing up, dressing, and having breakfast, Changning planned to continue her writing. Yesterday she wrote about the male and female protagonists' long-awaited reunion; today she would write about the second male lead's emotional entanglement with the main characters.
Changning hadn't been writing for long when Zhuiyu reported that the Eighth Prince's wife had come to invite him.
Eighth Prince's Consort? What is Lady Guoluo doing here? Is she here to intimidate me or to apologize? Changning wondered, could this woman be here for revenge?
