Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan was completely stunned. What had his A Ning just said?
Do you like your cousin?
Does he like his cousin?
Li Chengyan?
Whether he found it funny or shocking, the next second, Xiao Xuan had the urge to silence Li Chengyan.
What did this kid do to cause his Ah Ning to misunderstand him so deeply?
The man rubbed his forehead, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
"Ah Ning, why do you think I would like him? Why would I like a guy?"
As Xiao Xuan asked the question, he was also relieved that there was no one around, especially not that guy Li Chengyan.
If he were there, he would probably be laughing the loudest.
He, the crown prince of the mighty Qi Dynasty, the future emperor, second only to the emperor, how could he have become a homosexual?
Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but touch his face.
He was clearly a masculine man, yet when he clenched his fist, it also showed considerable strength.
By all accounts, he doesn't seem like someone who likes men.
Seeing Xiao Xuan's complicated expression, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't, Ning Yin couldn't help but speak up to comfort him again.
"Isn't that right? Actually, there's nothing shameful about it. Everyone has different tastes. Look at the love story of Emperor Ai and Dong Xian, isn't it particularly touching? Let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't..."
Ning Yin was thinking of comforting Xiao Xuan, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt her lips being covered by the man's again.
Before she could react, she stared wide-eyed at the handsome face magnified several times in front of her.
Xiao Xuan's kiss this time clearly carried a sense of proof, full of possessiveness and a desire to show off.
Before long, her face turned slightly red, and she began to breathe heavily.
It was her first time, and it was his first time too; neither of them had any experience.
They didn't even know how to breathe properly.
Xiao Xuan gently released the person, but he was still not satisfied.
The little girl was soft and sweet, and once he touched her, he couldn't resist.
But seeing her flushed face, he was afraid that Ning Yin might not be able to catch her breath.
Xiao Xuan was also surprised. How come she was even more unfamiliar with this than he was? It was as if she was doing this for the first time.
Did Shen Yun never kiss her?
Stroking her back, Xiao Xuan whispered softly in Ning Yin's ear as if coaxing a child, "Do you still think I like that unlucky cousin now?"
Xiao Xuan's voice was deep and seductive, like a feather tickling Ning Yin, making her feel all tingly.
She quickly turned her head away, creating distance between them, her face burning hot.
"I... Jingyuan, is everything you said true?"
"Of course, if I were to utter even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning."
Xiao Xuan raised his hand to swear again, but Ning Yin quickly pulled his hand down, saying, "I believe you, there's no need for this oath."
"So, Aning has agreed! That's wonderful! Aning, you're mine now. You can't be too intimate with other men anymore. That young man from the courtyard just now..."
Ning Yin nodded, lowered her head shyly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and felt quite uneasy.
Upon hearing Xiao Xuan mention Bai Meng, she suddenly reached out and pressed her hand against his lips, then sniffed with her nose, letting out a clear, crisp laugh.
"So that's why there's a sour smell coming from over there. Turns out someone's been jealous?"
Ning Yin looked up and met Xiao Xuan's deep eyes.
For a moment, she suddenly felt that this young master Li and the crown prince were eight or nine parts similar.
Especially now, with Xiao Xuan's eyes filled with her, she couldn't help but think of yesterday.
His Highness the Crown Prince sat at the table, his eyes fixed on him, just like Xiao Xuan's in the present moment.
Ning Yin's heart skipped a beat, and she turned away somewhat awkwardly.
"What's wrong, Aning? Are you cold? I'll take you downstairs right now, and I'll try to come see you more often in the future."
Ning Yin nodded indifferently, her mind entirely focused on the Crown Prince.
Are there really people in the world who look so alike, or is it just a coincidence?
When Xiao Xuan put the person back in the courtyard, Ning Yin wanted to call him back and ask him if he knew the current crown prince.
But Xiao Xuan leaped lightly and instantly disappeared above the Imperial Hospital.
The next day, as dawn broke, Ningyin planned to go to the Imperial Garden to collect some morning dew as a raw material for developing a skin-smoothing cream.
Before leaving, she greeted Bai Meng and asked him to prepare the medicinal herbs she needed.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yin had just arrived at the Imperial Garden when Yang Shuhuan and Consort Chen arrived right after her.
Yesterday, for the first time ever, Imperial Physician Chen told her some survival tips for living in the palace.
She was especially reminded to be careful in dealing with Consort Chen.
As the head of the harem and the emperor's most favored concubine, Consort Chen was someone no one dared to offend.
Even if they are eunuchs in her palace, it's best not to provoke them.
They're all venomous snakes that bite; they might just entangle you.
Ningyin was also puzzled as to why the First Consort would get up so early.
Consort Chen held a hot water bottle in her arms and wore a silver fox fur cloak. Yang Shuhuan followed behind her, and the two chatted and laughed.
What a small world! I was thinking it was better to avoid trouble.
Ning Yin was about to turn into a side path to avoid the two of them when Yang Shuhuan suddenly called out.
"Sister Ningyin, how can you pretend not to see the Imperial Concubine? You were once the mistress of the General's Mansion, how can you be so ill-mannered?"
Consort Chen hadn't noticed Ning Yin before, but when she heard Yang Shuhuan shout, her gaze followed her.
