Ji Fengyao felt something was off as soon as she stepped into the palace, especially when Eunuch De stopped Lin Shuang and Xi Que at the palace gate again and made her go in alone. The strange feeling in her heart became even stronger.
Meeting in such an indecent place, anyone would think the wrong thing, right?
If it were before they went to Tongyou, she might have worried that he would suddenly become unrestrained in his animalistic nature;
But now, there's absolutely no need.
Ji Fengyao, lifting her skirt, looked around with curiosity and wonder, fluttering in like a happy little butterfly. From a distance, she called out in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, why are you hiding in such a faraway place all by yourself again?"
Under the bright sunshine of early autumn, the girl wore a light gauze dress, her skin as white as jade, radiant and charming.
The vibrant energy of youth that wafts over you is delightful and makes your heart flutter.
Shang Xiche's eyes darkened, revealing a cold and sinister look: This female bandit is getting better every day, becoming more and more fresh and beautiful. Even in his current situation, he is tempted by her, let alone his young, vigorous, and hot-blooded ninth brother.
Ji Fengyao, seemingly oblivious to Shang Xiche's strange gaze, approached him with a bewildered and innocent expression: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? You don't look well. Are you in a bad mood?"
"Feng Yao, tell me, is the Ninth Prince better to you, or am I better to you?" Shang Xiche answered irrelevantly, still looking worried.
Hearing Shang Xiche call her name out of the blue, Ji Fengyao felt a chill run down her spine.
Half of it was disgust, and the other half was an instinctive, alert physiological reaction.
Ji Fengyao couldn't help but feel secretly relieved. Fortunately, she had wisely drugged Tong You, causing him to have sex with her; otherwise, she would probably be facing an even more embarrassing situation now.
Let's see what his purpose is in using the "middle-aged man's scheme".
“Emmmm…” Ji Fengyao suppressed her nausea and pretended to think seriously for a moment before saying, “Then the Emperor is still better to me. The Emperor gave me the dragon pendant and so many rewards; the Prince gave me nothing but the gold seal of the Prince’s Mansion.”
At this point, Ji Fengyao seemed to have switched to a complaining mode, her little mouth agape as she began to grumble: "Your Majesty, you have no idea how happy I was when I first received the golden seal. I thought the Prince's mansion must be very rich. But not only is the Prince's mansion's treasury small, but after my father and elder brother carried away more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver, there's only this little bit of money left in the treasury!"
Ji Fengyao, so lifelike, made a finger joint gesture towards Shang Xiche.
Shang Xiche: "..."
The Ninth Prince couldn't possibly be this poor, could he? Could it be that all the spoils of war he has acquired over the years are stored at the border?
Ji Fengyao sighed heavily and whispered, "I'm worried about whether it will be enough for two years. If the Ninth Prince becomes penniless, I won't talk to him anymore. The Emperor can't blame me then. My father said that you can't keep a man without money, or you'll suffer for the rest of your life if you follow him."
Her naive, ignorant, and mercenary appearance won Shang Xiche's heart.
"In that case, it seems that I am the one who ruined this marriage for you," Shang Xiche suddenly said, taking Ji Fengyao's hand.
The delicate and soft touch felt so good, better than any woman he had ever touched. He couldn't bear to let go of it after holding it.
"emperor!"
Ji Fengyao pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, took a few steps back to create distance, and broke out in goosebumps all over her body.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I only pity you." Shang Xiche tried his best to show his gentlest side, taking a step forward and getting closer to Ji Fengyao.
