nce in your belly.'"Ning Shu opened her mouth with a tired sigh, it took her a while to speak: "... You go down. About this matter..."He cast a sharp look and spoke with a hint of sternness, "Doctor H...No ads!

Ning Shu only felt a jolt of fright, she quickly retracted her hand and flushed red, saying: "Your Highness misunderstood me."

His eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his gaze, not daring to look at the prince's...

She slightly pursed her lips, remembering the scene where she had helped him wipe his body, feeling a blush creep up her cheeks and a wave of shame wash over her.

"The Crown Prince, however, slightly furrowed his brow and asked, "Are you referring to the fact that I should be self-sufficient"

Ning Shu saw that he understood, and she couldn't help but let out a gentle sigh of relief. She nodded and said, "That's right, Your Highness."

But then I saw Dugu Xuance looking over, that face was as beautiful as a fairy, it was a visual shock. He gently opened his lips and said, "But I won't."

Ningshu felt awkward. He had no idea that the Crown Prince had never been educated.

She couldn't help but bite her lip, wanting to speak and ask the prince to have a servant explain. But as if seeing through her thoughts, the prince said with a cold gaze, "As for this kind of thing, I detest their proximity and their imaginations about me."

Ning Shu opened her mouth.

Then what should we do, the Prince's residence only has him now.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and go on, so he lowered his long eyelashes and spoke in a low voice.

The Crown Prince, however, had somehow crept closer. He whispered in the young man's ear, "I still don't know how, Ning'er, teach me."

Ning Shu's ears flushed red.

Although a prince like him would have been married and had children in ancient times. However, he felt a strange sense of guilt, and couldn't help but turn away his face: "Your Highness, it's easy."

"I don't understand anything."

The Crown Prince came closer, drooping his long eyelashes and said in a cool voice, "I once thought there was something wrong with my own body, without any desire. The people serving in the palace also speculated about me and gossiped behind my back."

"It's common knowledge."

Ning Shu was taken aback. Even though she had heard rumors about the prince's reputation, hearing him personally disable someone's hand was still shocking. But she couldn't help but soften her heart; after all, the current prince was just a boy.

If it weren't for the palace, but rather a modern setting, I would be living a carefree life as a student right now.

"Teach me," the prince leaned closer, his voice affectionate.

"I have no one I can trust."

Ning Shu didn't speak, but was led around in a daze. He unknowingly followed along, being led by the nose. When did the prince take his hand and lead him somewhere else, he wasn't even aware.

By the time I reacted, it was too late.

......

In the Prince's palace, the Prince had already changed into a new set of clothes.

Ning Shu pursed her lips, the faint fishy smell still lingered in the air. She had just been grabbed by the prince and done those things...she didn't know how it happened.

The prince walked over and affectionately hugged him: "I never knew there was such happiness in the world."

Ning Shu, upon hearing this, calmed her heart and softly said: "If Your Highness acts like this next time… then there's no need for me to make a move."

Dugu Xuance remained silent.

His expression gave nothing away.

Ning Shu's heart was pounding. He only felt that helping the prince was wrong from the beginning. He should have cut his losses in time, but the prince's expression made him uneasy. He couldn't help but gently purse his lips and say, "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that"

Dugu Xuan Ce lowered his eyes, a touch of melancholy in his cold tone: "I was just thinking, you also left me out, afraid of me."

Ning Shu was a little stunned. He hadn't expected that in the crown prince's eyes, he would think this way. He hurriedly explained, "Your Highness misunderstood me. It's just that... men and men... go against common sense. If Your Highness were to be found out, it would bring bad reputation to you."

Dugu Xuance said softly, "Why is it inappropriate for a man to be with a man"

He looked at the young man and said pleasantly, "I have a deep bond with Ning'er. It is not merely a romantic affection, like that between brothers, but even closer than that. Why is this inappropriate"

Ning Shu was indeed a little taken aback by this.

He didn't expect the Crown Prince to view him this way. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his cheeks flushed as he said, "The Crown Prince will understand after marrying a Crown Princess. Matters of such intimacy are best shared with one's wife. That is the true joy of life."

But Gu felt that what had just happened was already a moment of earthly bliss. The prince gazed at him, quietly saying, "I don't know why you are so resistant, perhaps I have been too demanding."

He spoke, and without waiting for Ning Shu to say anything.

She swept away in a huff.

Ning Shu felt a pang of guilt behind him. He knew that the crown prince trusted him deeply. In the palace, the crown prince's sincerity was given only to him. The crown prince treated him not like a tutor, but protected him, stood up for him, and was even very affectionate.

But the prince's heartfelt feelings were wasted on him.

Ning Shu fidgeted uneasily. He even regretted rejecting the Crown Prince. He couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking about what had happened just a few hours ago. The Crown Prince was impulsive at this age, inexperienced with emotions, and thought that such things between brothers were normal.

He might as well just submit to the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince takes a wife, he might not even have a chance to refuse before understanding things himself.

Ning Shu couldn't help but sigh, feeling very conflicted inside. It was as if there were two people within him, yet even when he waited until noon, the Crown Prince hadn't returned.

By the time the prince returned, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

The prince had someone change his clothes. He'd been out for so long. He seemed to have lost his temper, but Ning Shu still sensed the prince's coldness towards him.

He couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Where are you going, Your Highness"

The crown prince glanced at him and said, "General Zhao has returned from the border and is hosting a banquet in the capital waiting for me to attend."

Ning Shu saw that he had no intention of taking her with him, and couldn't help but speak up: "Your Highness, can you take me with you"

....

Ning Shu sat in the carriage. The prince had promised to take him along, but once they were in the carriage...

But the Crown Prince ignored him.

Ning Shu, seeing this, changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, are you on good terms with General Zhao"

Dugu Xuan Ce glanced at him, opening his lips to say: "It's not that great, just that when he was young, he owed me a favor."

Ning Shu had also heard some rumors about this General Zhao, saying that he had won several battles on the border, securing peace and stability for the people. Seeing that the Crown Prince was willing to talk to him, he added, "I've also heard a few things about General Zhao."

The crown prince, however, ignored his words. He lifted the curtain and glanced outside, his voice low: "I don't want to hear from him."

Ning Shu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He thought that since the prince had helped the other party, it proved that the two of them still had some friendship.

He pursed his lips, realizing that the prince might not be unwilling to speak of General Zhao, but simply unwilling to speak to him at all.

Then all became quiet.

Even after getting off the carriage, Ning Shu was still amazed by the prosperity of Beijing. When he was in Jingzhou before, he thought Jingzhou was already very prosperous and lively, but he didn't expect Beijing to be even more magnificent and prosperous.

It's no wonder that countless talented men and beautiful women want to go to Beijing.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Ning Shu was stunned. She saw that the crown prince lifted the curtain and entered a place called Chunfeng Pavilion.

He stared at the sign, feeling that it looked a bit shady no matter how he looked at it.

The prince walked in the front and then turned back, and out of nowhere came a head of muli.

A white veil covered Ning Shu's face, prompting him to look over.

Then the prince withdrew his hand and continued walking forward.

Ning Shu walked at the back. When he went in, he felt that the decoration on both sides was also quite elaborate and expensive. Several beautiful girls were playing the piano or dancing, and a group of guests were sitting below.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Ning Shu would have thought this was a legitimate place.

The crown prince was dressed in fine silks, even though he had disguised himself. However, his air of nobility and the way he carried himself still gave people a shock.

Even those who had never met him in the hall treated him with utmost care and caution.

Ning Shu trailed behind, and when the receptionist looked up, their gaze met. He froze instantly, unable to help but be taken aback by how striking her face was.

The crown prince, however, stopped in his tracks, turned to look over, and said in a cold tone, "Come here."

Ning Shu walked over.

The prince took his hand and, as they passed by those receiving him, gently raised his sleeve.

The man only felt a pain in his eyes.

He covered his eyes and quickly splashed water from a nearby teacup onto his face. When his vision cleared, he was left with a cold sweat soaking through his clothes.

The pretentious guest was just warning him, if he kept staring at the young master, things would get more complicated than this.

Ning Shu was being led by the crown prince when she heard noises behind her, and several gasps. She wanted to turn back to see what was going on, but the crown prince held onto her hand tightly.

He had no choice but to follow the prince upstairs.

When I got to Xiang.

But to his surprise, there were not only General Zhao in the room, but also the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince.

They saw the Crown Prince and stood up to pay their respects: “Your Highness.”

The prince looked at General Zhao Xiao, a smirk playing on his lips: "Is this the banquet you prepared for me"

General Zhao was also confused. Could it be that these two princes hadn't greeted the Crown Prince beforehand He just wanted to answer...

The Third Prince over there quickly said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, my younger brother and I just happened to see General Zhao here at Chunfeng Pavilion. Knowing he was hosting a banquet here, we joined him for the welcome feast. Your Highness wouldn't mind, would you”

The prince did not expose their lies, but instead sat down and said, "How could I mind I would welcome a bit more excitement."

The Third Prince, having learned his lesson after a previous setback, shrank back sheepishly.

He touched his nose and saw Ning Shu behind him. Seeing that he was wearing a mask, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, who is this you've brought"

The Third Prince only felt that this person's figure was a little familiar.

And the fourth prince also felt quite familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. He racked his brains, but couldn't remember anyone like that around the crown prince. Could he be a young master from some family

The prince ignored them and beckoned to the youth. "Come here," he said.ent likes," Xue Shan said with a smile.Ning Shu couldn't help but lean in and listen: "Can you tell me"Xue Shan said, "The head of the association has a garden at home, specializing in growing roses."...
