When Shang Dongyang saw Ji Fengyao staring at him, he assumed she was captivated by his charm and couldn't help but feel smug: He had said that the women who wanted to enter his Eastern Palace could stretch from the capital to the South China Sea. How could this bandit not fall for him?
But the next second...
Ji Fengyao poked his face with her slender, jade-like fingers, next to a pimple scar that had just been cleaned yesterday. Her face contorted with worry as she said, "Nephew, have you been sleeping poorly lately? Are you having nightmares all the time and not getting enough rest?"
Shang Dongyang: "..."
Was she indirectly insulting me?
"Look at you, you don't look well either. Your face is thin and sallow. You don't look like a young man at all. You look older than your Ninth Imperial Uncle. Is it because the concubines in your household are too clingy?" Ji Fengyao said with the air of an elder, "Nephew, you are the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the country, and the support of the people. You must be careful and not be bewitched by those little vixens. You must take good care of your health."
The late emperor had few sons, and each time he had a son, it was several years apart.
Although King Shang Xiye and Shang Dongyang are uncle and nephew, Shang Dongyang is actually two years older than Shang Xiye.
Looking at the young female bandit who was only sixteen years old and had an adorable chubby face, she bluntly said that she was "older" than the already "young" Ninth Prince;
She even gave him a serious, suggestive lecture:
"Don't get obsessed with women," Shang Dongyang thought, feeling as if he were being attacked by a thousand knives, each one piercing his heart.
But looking at the little bandit's innocent and bright face, and her sincere and earnest eyes, Shang Dongyang felt that she definitely didn't do it on purpose. She was just too concerned about him and accidentally hurt his heart.
“Princess…what you say makes sense.” Shang Dongyang forced an awkward smile, trying to maintain his composure, and winked, “Princess, you may call me by my given name. Dongyang, this nephew of yours is truly…”
This really serves as a reminder of seniority!
It made him feel guilty about his beastly thoughts.
The young female bandit thought for a moment, then tiptoed and tried to reach Shang Dongyang's shoulder with her elbow. Finding that she couldn't quite reach him, she pulled Shang Dongyang to a stone bench by the lake and said, "You, come here."
Shang Dongyang: "???"
He was secretly delighted. Could it be that this little female bandit wanted to sit down with him and have a long talk?
Shang Dongyang was about to boldly take the little female bandit's hand and sit with her.
Ji Fengyao had already stepped onto the stone chair, and using its height, she successfully wrapped her little hand around Shang Dongyang's shoulder. She patted him affectionately, saying, "Calling me by my name is too formal. You are my nephew, so calling you 'nephew' is more intimate."
Shang Dongyang: "..."
Ji Fengyao continued to show concern for the "children," saying, "We didn't interact much before, and I thought you were like everyone else, looking down on my bandit background, which is why you didn't want to associate with us. But today, you took the initiative to call me over to talk, and I realized I was wrong."
Alright then, nephew.
"You can come to our Prince's Mansion often from now on, and your aunt will have someone cook you delicious food!"
Shang Dongyang was completely petrified:
Can anyone tell him what kind of thought process this bandit has?
How did she manage to treat a man who was one in a million and exuded seduction from head to toe, like a complete "nephew"?
What's more, he's more than ten years older than her!
However, the two were so close;
A spring breeze blew across the lake, carrying with it the unique, refreshing fragrance emanating from the young female bandit. This immediately distracted Shang Dongyang from his anger, making him instantly distracted.
At this moment, Bai Lu anxiously waved to Ji Fengyao and whispered, "Your Highness, come back quickly, someone is coming from over there!"
