The night was as cold as water, but the Frigid Pavilion was extremely warm.
Han Xuanhao occasionally sipped his wine from his wine cup, and Shang Wuxin answered Han Xuanhaoâs questions nonchalantly. Although Shang Wuxin was not a talkative person, Han Xuanhao was someone who knew how to find topics to talk about, and the two of them got along very well.
âWuxin, I will call you Xinâer from now on, okay?â Han Xuanhao saw that the atmosphere was good, and that the Crown Prince was in a good mood. The night sky was also good, so he brought up the name he had always wanted to call out. He had always felt that being heartless was too cold, and that the heart was the true name he wanted to call the Crown Prince.
Shang Wuxin was prepared to refuse, but he looked up and saw Han Xuan leaning against the headboard. Even though he was pretending not to care, his eyes were pleading cautiously like a child. Shang Wuxinâs heart skipped a beat, even she did not feel it.
However, even though Shang Wuxin was hesitant, she was prepared to refuse. The way Xinâer called him was too intimate and demure. Before Shang Wuxin could refuse, she saw a snowflake jumping in the window. The two could tell at a glance that it was the little fox that they had not seen for a long time.
The little fox did not dare to climb onto the bed. It just stayed under the bed watching the two of them and squeaked at Shang Wuxin from time to time.
âLittle White!â Shang Wuxin gave the little fox a name without looking at the little foxâs hopping expression. âFrom now on, you will be called Little White!â Shang Wuxin felt that this little fox had been watching him for a long time and thought that it was good to be a pet and keep it.
The little fox was very happy that it had a name, but it couldnât accept the name of this file, so it directly jumped onto the bed. Han Xuanhao quickly grabbed the little fox and threw it off the bed. He had a mysophobia. Other than the crown prince, no one else could get on his bed, not even animals.
Shang Wuxin looked at Han Xuanhao who threw Little White out of the bed, but due to his actions, a book was revealed under the pillow. Shang Wuxin looked at the somewhat strange scene on the cover and reached out to take it, and Han Xuanhao saw that the book was in disarray.
Han Xuanhao took the book into his arms. Just now, because he knew that the crown prince had come to the Han Pavilion, he had anxiously stuffed the book under his pillow. He didnât expect it to be exposed; how would he explain it if the crown prince saw him.
Originally, Shang Wuxin was not very interested, but when he saw Han Xuanhao stuffing the book into his chest with red ears, Shang Wuxin was really curious about this book.
âHere!â Shang Wuxin said with a straight face, but her eyes were full of smiles. She found this Han Xuanhao somewhat adorable, just like a child who was trying his best to conceal something but was afraid of punishment.
Han Xuanhao didnât say anything, but the book in his hands was tightly clenched. At this moment, his hands were drenched in cold sweat.
Shang Wuxin acted immediately to snatch Han Xuanhao away, afraid that he would harm the crown prince, and also afraid that the restraints they had built with great difficulty would break, so the book ended up in Shang Wuxinâs hands. However, Han Xuanhao looked at Shang Wuxin nervously, his lips trembling. He was afraid that the crown prince would think him dirty and that he would be pushed far away from the crown prince in the future.
It was a painting of the palace, but it was not enough to surprise her. What she was surprised to see was not the love between men and women, but the love of a man. The books depicted all the things about men and men who had slept on the bed.
âThis is yours?â Shang Wuxin asked curiously as she held the book. She did not understand what Han Xuanhao wanted to do with all this. Could it be that the brothel was not enough for him to open a small tube? Thinking of the rumors about Leng Yufeng and Huan Moche, and then looking at the Han Xuanhao in front of him, Shang Wuxin was puzzled for a moment. Could it be that these men were too outstanding to find a good woman, so they were interested in men? Furthermore, there was also Nangong Qian. She knew that she was a man, but Nangong Qian seemed to be tempted as well. Why were the ancient people so open-minded?
Han Xuanhao took the book over and crushed it with his internal energy. Then, he pursed his lips and asked, âIsnât it disgusting?â âDo you hate me?â If it was before, he wouldnât be able to accept it. But now, he felt that everything was natural.
He had always wanted to offer himself to the Crown Prince, because he had been thinking about him. However, although he had seen things between men and women, he didnât feel anything from them. That was why he had found books to study. If the crown prince really wanted him, he was prepared but didnât expect to be discovered.
âI donât feel anything!â Shang Wuxin said indifferently, she did not even believe in love, and did not care even more about the thought of cutting off sleeves.
When Han Xuanhao heard the answer, he let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt helpless. He could tell that the crown prince didnât understand what he was thinking.
In order to change the topic, Han Xuanhao had to ask, âThat girl called Kongâer is still in the crown princeâs mansion. When did you finish it?â âJust looking at it makes me frustrated!â Ever since Han Xuanhao found out that the girl was a spy, he had been looking for trouble with Kongâer from time to time, all for the sake of driving her out of the crown princeâs residence. Han Xuanhao wanted to kill this situation in the cradle.
Shang was not in the mood to think of the woman, smiling indifferently, âShe is just a chess piece, since she is a chess piece she should play the role of a chess piece.â âFurthermore, the crown princeâs residence has raised her for so long. If it doesnât have any effect on her, I wonât suffer a loss!â
Shang Wuxin had originally been playing around with Kongâer, but he soon realized that Kongâer was actually a spy with two eyes, and was not actually one of the Third Princeâs men, which was why he was a little interested in Kongâer.
âWuxin, donât you care about how I feel?â Han Xuanhao said sorrowfully, âYou didnât know that woman would look at me with an extremely disgusted gaze every time. How can you say that my reputation is yours now? Shouldnât you kill the person thinking about you like that?â
Han Xuanhao knew that the crown princeâs possessiveness was terrifying. From the crown princeâs ordinary life, it could be seen that even though he knew of the reputation of the crown prince, it was still possible for him to gain a reputation in the future.
Shang Wuxin glanced at Han Xuanhao from head to toe, and Han Xuanhao felt goosebumps sprouting on his exposed skin.
âDonât forget that you are Lady Han, not Young Master Han. What do you think of me?â Shang Wuxin patted Han Xuanhaoâs delicate cheeks helplessly, âIf you tell me that the servants or secret guards have any thoughts about you, I will help you!â
Han Xuanhao was stunned. He seemed to have been bullied by the crown prince?
âCrown Prince, accompany me tonight!â The more Han Xuanhao acted, the more addicted he became. Her seductive posture made her even more bewitching. If it were an ordinary man and woman, they would have long been lost in the wild.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shang was not in the mood to eat the fruit, indicating that he could not hear. In fact, she really wanted to taste the sake of the wine because she had never drunk before. She usually used tea in her social interactions, but thinking about her current identity, Shang Wuxin, broke her unrealistic thoughts.
âCrown Prince!â Han Xuanhao carefully tugged on the crown princeâs sleeve. Seeing that the crown prince was not displeased, he was even more joyful. He continued to say, âNo matter what, I am still in the title of the crown princeâs woman. If the crown prince doesnât always come to my courtyard to spend the night, what would those people think of me as a servant?â âDo you want everyone to think that I have fallen out of favor?â
The more Han Xuanhao spoke, the more he felt a headache. He flew out of the window without giving Han Xuanhao any chance to stay. Seeing the crown prince who was still sitting on his bed disappear in the blink of an eye, Han Xuanhaoâs heart skipped a beat.
âSqueak, squeak.â Lil âWhite covered his fox mouth with his paws. The foxâs eyes were filled with mockery. Then, just as Han Xuanhao was about to make his move, he suddenly jumped up the window and stood at it, giving Han Xuanhao a provocative smile.
Han Xuanhao raised his wine cup and threw it towards the little fox who was laughing at him, but the little fox quickly jumped out of the window.
Han Xuanhao let out a low sigh as he looked at his revealing clothes. It seemed that tonightâs plan for a man of beauty had failed once again. He had always known that he was beautiful, but how could he not be impulsive when he seduced the crown prince? Was the Crown Prince really not interested in men? Han Xuanhao gathered his clothes and sat on the same spot where the crown prince had just sat. Feeling the warmth that remained in the bed, Han Xuanhao laid on the spot where Shang had been absent-minded and picked up the pastries that Shang had just eaten, smiling like a fool.
âHeartless â¦â âMy heart â¦â Han Xuanhao muttered softly.

In the darkness, Kongâer was constantly walking around the crown princeâs mansion, constantly looking at the layout and decorations of each place. Kongâer did not know that a man dressed in black was following closely behind her; it was very shameful for her to be sneaking around.
Kongâer came to a courtyard, and this courtyard was the residence of the fifth princess of the Nangong Kingdom, Nangong Lian. Kongâer looked around, but there seemed to be no guards of the crown princeâs residence. Kongâer gave the courtyard a strange smile before slowly returning to his own residence.
The man in black clothes stood at the top of the courtyard and watched Kongâer leave. He didnât expect that at this moment, a girl wearing a Chinese robe would suddenly jump out of the courtyard and start attacking the man in black without caring about who she was.
The black clothed man looked at the woman with disheveled hair. Her movements were sharp and there was a scar on her face that no one could ignore. However, the black clothed man was intrigued by the fact that this princess was not as disgusting as the other girls.
After the two exchanged a few blows, the man in black pointed his sword at Nangong Lianâs throat and maliciously said, âThe princess of a country is actually so unruly when she isnât properly dressed. This has really broadened my horizons!â
âWho are you?â âWhat do you want to do by barging into the crown princeâs residence?â She was not afraid of the sword on her neck. Ever since she was young, she had been hunted down and killed by many people. But now, this person could easily break into the crown princeâs residence. Nangong Lian was a little worried for Prince Shang.
The man in black laughed a few times. However, at this moment, Nangong Lian actually pulled the mask off the manâs face without caring about the sword on her neck.
Under the black mask was a round face. Although this man in black was not as beautiful as his imperial brother, he still had a sense of joy. At this moment, Nangong Lian was able to clearly see that this man was round, and his black clothes were embroidered with a blood lotus.
When the black clothed person saw that Nangong Lianâs neck was almost injured by him, he hurriedly put away his sword and hurriedly explained, âI am a subordinate of the crown prince. I only appeared here just now because someone came here. Princess, please forgive me!â
Nangong Lian looked at the man in black and found it unbelievable, but thinking about how the man in black had no intentions of harming her and how the embroidery on her clothes was the same as the guards in the crown princeâs residence, Nangong Lian smiled. âWhy are you so ugly!â
Lin Jia Er pointed at Nangong Lian and asked, âHow am I ugly?â âI look great, but Iâm just a little fat!â
âA little fat?â Nangong Lian said with a sneer, âAre you sure?â Iâm afraid youâll crush this wall! âI wonder how Prince Shang would allow a man like you to be his subordinate, a man full of banditry!â
âYou â¦â âHow about I become a bandit?â Lin Jia Er angrily said. He was originally a bandit. If it wasnât for the Crown Prince appreciating him, he might still be robbing the forest, but his life would have been ruined like this.
âBut I am now a subordinate of the Crown Prince, ugly woman!â Just as he finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Lian embarrassedly. After all, there was no woman who didnât like to be beautiful. Perhaps this was really hurtful, and he felt that this princess was actually not ugly, but had a different kind of beauty.
Seeing Lin Jia Erâs embarrassed expression, Nangong Lian did not mind at all. She also knew that this man did not have any malicious intentions. He was simply straightforward. Unlike many people, she did not think much of herself.
âFatty, hurry up and leave this place. Otherwise, this princess will beat you until you spit out blood!â Nangong Lian jumped off the wall.
âTsk â¦â Lin Jia Er left the courtyard and mumbled, âWhere am I fat?â âWhere is he fat?â
