Ning Shu slept soundly, unaware of anything. 。His delicate neck, matching the color of his skin elsewhere, was pressed slightly forward at this moment, with his long lashes closed. 。Breathes deeplyJia...Every day, he only ate watery porridge. Although Ning Shu originally wasn't happy about it, seeing that the Crown Prince was eating with him, he didn't say anything.

Ning Shu couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you don't have to stay with me."

The prince, however, gazed at him and whispered softly, "I want to stay with Ning'er. As long as Ning'er eats, I will eat too."

He couldn't help but purse his lips. He had some... feelings for the Crown Prince before, but now, Ning Shu didn't have any complaints left.

The prince's status is so noble, there's no need to treat him like this.

Ning Shu's expression couldn't help but become a little dazed, she thought.

He just thought that no matter what, the crown prince would have to inherit an heir and take concubines in the future. The tightness in his chest grew even stronger, he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling.

I don't want to think about the future.

Because she had pushed herself too hard, Ning Shu needed to rest for two days before her body was mostly recovered.

Although it may seem like plain broth, it is not actually truly bland.

Ning Shu is also a normal person, and she has her own requirements for food. The imperial kitchen cooks the meat in a light way, but even so, it tastes very good.

He's just used to modern life, having eaten so many countless cuisines. After all, the variety of cuisines in their country is the most in the world.

Even after it's done, Ning Shu still needs to apply ointment there for nourishment.

However, this ointment has been replaced with another kind.

He was very insistent and wanted to keep going.

The crown prince then went with him.

Ning Shu had just finished applying the ointment today, and there was still a smell of medicine on her body. The prince didn't know when he returned to the East Palace, he raised his head, and saw the prince, so he quickly got up.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Crown Prince took a stride forward and scooped him up in his arms.

Then, inhaling the scent from his body, he said in a low voice, “Everything about Ning'er smells good.”

Perhaps it was due to age, but the Prince's once clear and melodious voice had lost its youthful brightness. Instead, it had grown deeper, with a magnetic quality.

Ning Shu thought that the Crown Prince was about to reach the age where he would be named the crown prince, and she couldn't help but tighten her fingers.

The prince held him close and kissed his neck.

Ning Shu was kissed to a tickle, she couldn't help but dodge. He had been like that, the Prince, as always, affectionate. But Ning Shu gradually realized something was amiss. She found that the Prince’s hand, at some point unknown, had landed on her waist.

I couldn't help but be startled.

The Crown Prince held his hand, his warm breath brushing against him, his eyes dark as he said, "Ning'er has rested for two days and is almost recovered. Besides, this is the first time, it will be much better later."

He could also bear it night after night.

Ning Shu didn't catch the prince's implication. In fact, he was still a bit unnerved by the prince's behavior that night. He wasn't sure if it was because the prince had just lost his virginity, which caused him to be so insatiable.

He pursed his lips and couldn't help but ask, "...Your Highness, do you enjoy this kind of thing"

Although Ning Shu wasn't without discomfort, the things the Crown Prince had taught him hadn't actually caused him pain.

...But the key was, the prince tasted it and got hooked. That night, he couldn't stop, and this became a burden for him.

Ning Shu silently thought to herself, actually she felt that half an hour was best.

But he also knew that saying such things would only hurt the man's pride. After all, when Ning Shu was in college, she had heard her roommates talk about this kind of thing, and they would say how long it took them.

At that time, Ning Shu only felt that the topics they were discussing were beyond her reach, so she didn't join in.

But he couldn't avoid what those people said.

Then there were similar statements, like: "I spent over half an hour in a room with my girlfriend."

"Well, it took me about forty minutes or so." The speaker sounded rather smug, after all, that was a pretty good time in real life.

Ning Shu was forced to hear these things, so he naturally also thought that about half an hour was the most normal.

Until he experienced it himself, he didn't realize that the thing his roommate was so proud of wasn't anything special.

"I am very pleased."

The prince's lips brushed against his face, his voice a pleasant low murmur, "Ning'er there is like a treasure, I'm almost afraid to touch."

Ning Shu was still a little dazed when she heard the name of the artifact.

What is this

He couldn't help but be a little stunned, then he thought the prince might have said it wrong, or that he had misheard.

So he remained silent.

But she could also understand what the prince meant, so Ning Shu's cheeks flushed hot, and she silently turned her face away, saying, "Your Highness likes it, but what if Your Highness acts like that day"

Ning Shu really didn't imagine that it would be the same as that night.

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, then soothed the young man and said: "I definitely won't toss you around like before, I will be very careful."

After hearing this, Ning Shu let out a sigh of relief.

He believed in the prince's words; he trusted everything the prince said.

Then the hand that was clutching at his clothes loosened its grip.

The Crown Prince saw his acquiescence, the corner of his lip lifting in an imperceptible curve. Then he carried him to the bed, and the curtain was drawn down, obscuring the two figures within.

.....

The young man in bed, his eyelashes fluttering, woke to the sound of dawn breaking.

He opened his eyes.

The Crown Prince was long gone from his side. When he reached out, it was always cold.

Ning Shu glanced at the sky outside and knew that the Crown Prince had already gone to court early.

The servant outside heard the sound and silently guarded the door: "Young Master, the Crown Prince has already gone to court. Young Master, would you like to have a meal"

Ning Shu pursed her lips.

To say I wasn't upset was a lie, the prince's promise last night was still ringing in my ears. But when it came to bed, he didn't want to think about it anymore, and after the prince coaxed him, he wanted more times again.

He said he felt comfortable no matter what.

His lip line was tightly drawn.

All the servants could tell that Young Master's mood was off. They were all a little nervous and afraid to speak much.

They guarded the Crown Prince's palace, naturally knowing what had happened between the Crown Prince and this young master.

When the prince was in a good mood, he would often visit her late at night.

Those sounds they could naturally also hear, the young master's low sobs. Then stifled groans, until after much tossing and turning, it quieted down.

These slaves all bowed their heads, not daring to even breathe.

One of the slaves looked up and saw the young master's skin, as white as jade. His whole being was beautiful, like a one-of-a-kind treasure in the world. Even his black hair seemed to shine with light.

He seemed dazed and quickly lowered his head.

No wonder the Crown Prince was enchanted, such a young master, anyone would want to keep him hidden away like a precious jewel.

Fortunately, I was raised in the Prince's Mansion. If I had been born into an ordinary family, I'm afraid I would have been targeted and manipulated countless times by now.

This kind of beauty is as if it were born for the royal family to possess.

Otherwise, no one can protect you.

.....

Ning Shu ate silently, he naturally didn't know about their commotion. In fact, the maidservants all knew.

His legs are still soft, but the prince has been carefully tending to them.

Or maybe it's not the first time, and it's actually not as painful as the first time.

But Ning Shuang just thought of the prince's broken promise.

He kept it to himself, not saying a word, until the prince returned at noon.

Ning Shu merely said, "Your Highness."

All the servants listening felt fear, who would dare speak to the Crown Prince like this But this person was the young master, they naturally knew how the Crown Prince doted on him.

Held in the mouth, cradled in the palm of the hand.

They were all dazzled by the prince's appearance, but when they thought about what kind of person he truly was, their hearts turned cold.

Who would have thought.

Ning Shu naturally knew he shouldn't treat the prince like this, but his body was still weak.

He didn't want to, and couldn't help but purse his lips, it was the prince who had broken his promise.

The prince also sensed the emotions of the person before him. He first glanced at the maidservant, then told them all to leave.

All of those people have left.

Then the prince lowered his peach blossom eyes and asked, "Did I make you angry, Ninger"

Ning Shu took a deep breath and pursed her lips: "...Your Highness clearly said last night..."

The prince looked at him with his peach blossom eyes, his voice low: “I remembered it at first, but others my age probably know more about this kind of thing than I do. I just felt really comfortable doing this with Ning'er, so I couldn't help myself…”

Ning Shu saw that he had a naturally cold expression between his brows and eyes, but the Crown Prince had never spoken to anyone like this before, nor would he use such a tone.

"Moreover, I am content in solitude."

The Crown Prince said in a melodious voice, then grasped the young man's hand and said, "Because of love, I can't help but..."

"If Ning'er blames me, I will bear it."

Ning Shu had just finished speaking when he felt a tinge of regret. He stared at the prince's brow and eyes, almost thinking that the prince had been kind to him enough.

The prince then slowly said, "Before this, I hadn't thought much about those things. No one had given me any reason to think about them. Also, those people actually wanted me dead."

"I fear, if Gu Li were to truly take a woman, he would die at her hands."

"I once thought I was indifferent to desires, but now I realize that's not true. After all these years, I understand that I am just an ordinary man, no different from anyone else out there."

Every word the Crown Prince spoke made Ning Shu's heart waver more and more.

He couldn't help but purse his lips.

He forgot that the Crown Prince was also a normal man. In ancient times, at the Crown Prince's age, he would have been married and had children.

while the prince had endured for so many years.

He was also afraid that his life could be lost at any moment in this palace of devouring women. Even a woman could be someone else's spy.

Not even a trustworthy person, nor dare to have one.

It's sad to think about it.

The prince was in the prime of his youth.

...It's understandable, even if it's a bit excessive.... felt that the sentence sounded alright. She pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, captain, I haven't chatted with my senior sister much. Besides, my senior sister is excellent, she should remember...
