Chapter 15, I must establish my authority!
The chubby and round Tong Xie Huangfu Changan actually has a favored male…?!
Shen Qingmei was shocked and astounded!
With her appearance, with her figure, how devastatingly alluring must he be! It’s truly a calamity for the country and its people, causing harm to the commoners!
Seeing Shen Qingmei’s incredulous expression, and considering her actions towards the Crown Prince just now, Bai Su naturally interpreted it as a pleasant surprise. She then spoke up very consciously, “I will take my leave, then.”
Speaking, in the blink of an eye, the mature lady secret guard disappeared from the room, vanishing into thin air at an astonishing speed, leaving only a blurry shadow.
Shen Qingmei couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
Could this be the legendary lightness skill? So impressive! It’s almost as fast as a helicopter!
Without receiving a response from Shen Qingmei, the person outside the door asked again, “Lan Yi requests an audience with the Crown Prince.”
Shen Qingmei stated that she had never had a male favorite in her life, despite being this old! She had encountered plenty of cowherds, but never engaged in the keeping of young pretty boys… Hehe, if it were to keep the Godfather, she would be willing to spend any amount of money. Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford to keep the Godfather, that guy is too precious!
Driven by curiosity about these “male favorites,” Shen Qingmei straightened her clothes a bit and found a comfortable position leaning against the headboard, casually raising her delicate index finger.
“Come in.”
The door creaked open slowly, and then a young man in a blue shirt with a purple collar walked in, appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. He had handsome eyebrows and eyes, a beautiful face, and didn’t look as feminine as she had imagined, nor did he rush forward with flattery. This male favorite named Lan Yi stopped five steps away from the headboard, exuding an air of elegance.
At the first glance of his appearance, Shen Qingmei couldn’t help but feel a slight skip in her heart, a strange and indescribable emotion welling up.
This young man looked remarkably similar to her elder brother, Huangfu Wujie… at least seventy percent alike!
Oh my goodness, what kind of trouble is this again?!
After a moment of astonishment, Shen Qingmei quickly remembered that before that little wretch Shangguan Jingyao pushed her into the water, she had insulted her, claiming that she was a homosexual and secretly in love with her elder brother. Not only that, she had even engaged in shameless activities like peeping at her elder brother while he bathed—actually, she was quite puzzled, did you really need to “steal” when a man looks at another man bathing?—and even sought out young boys who resembled the Crown Prince… ahem, male favorites!
It seems that the rotund and chubby aircraft carrier, Huangfu Changan, really took advantage of others and was ruthless!
Shen Qingmei looked up and down, giving the young man before her a thorough examination. His appearance was indeed quite good, whether it was his facial features or overall contour, there were traces of Huangfu Wujie, especially those cold and emotionless eyes. When he looked at her, it was practically a perfect match!
Damn it! She actually suspected that it wasn’t an individual trait but a common one!
However, on the other hand, didn’t that little wretch say that she was looking for young boys? This guy in front of her looks older than her. Can someone like that still be called a “boy”? You can’t pretend to be young like that!
Before Shen Qingmei could speak, the male favorite, the little brat Lan Yi, kneeled in front of the bed, bowing down on the ground, completely assuming a posture of pleading for punishment.
“Lan Yi is guilty and humbly requests punishment from Your Highness.”
Shen Qingmei leaned against the headboard, showing no intention of helping him up or asking him to stand. She casually responded, “Punishment? What did you do wrong?”
Lan Yi remained prostrated on the ground, not daring to stand without the Crown Prince’s pardon. However, he had a slight sense of unease.
If it were in the past, the Crown Prince would have been concerned about him and would have come to his aid. He used to receive great favor in the Eastern Palace and held the power of a “Princess Consort.” The Crown Prince would summon him almost every day. However, ever since she lost her memory after falling into the water, she completely forgot about him, not to mention summoning him. She even ordered that no one should step foot into her sleeping quarters.
His favor was entirely granted by the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince no longer valued him, his position in the palace would become precarious.
Therefore, he specially made the Crown Prince’s favorite crab roe paste and had it delivered, hoping to test whether the Crown Prince had drastically changed after losing her memory.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince not only refused to eat the crab roe paste he made, but also smashed the porcelain plate with a wave of his hand and angrily expelled the palace maid from the sleeping quarters.
Faced with this situation, Lan Yi felt extremely fearful, and his sense of crisis suddenly intensified a thousandfold.
After much consideration, he decided to proactively confess his guilt, in order to seize the opportunity to see if Huangfu Changan truly had no impression of him, if he no longer longed for her unrequited love for her elder brother, and if he truly no longer coveted the company of men.
“Since Your Highness fell into the water, Lan Yi has not been summoned by Your Highness. Lan Yi was worried about Your Highness not being able to see him, so he had the palace servants deliver the snacks that Your Highness usually enjoys. Unexpectedly, this action irritated Your Highness, which is one of his crimes. It has been heard that Your Highness has not eaten for three days, only consuming a small amount during breakfast. Lan Yi failed to take care of Your Highness’s diet, causing Your Highness to have a tasteless and unsatisfying meal. This is his second crime. Your Highness has not summoned Lan Yi, but Lan Yi, out of deep affection for Your Highness, took the liberty to speak to Your Highness. This is his third crime…”
Although this man’s voice was pleasant to listen to, Shen Qingmei couldn’t help but feel that he was too meddlesome as he listed everything so meticulously. He was far from being as concise and meaningful as the fourth prince with his remark, “Huangfu Changan, can you be any more disgusting?”
If everyone in the palace spoke like him, Shen Qingmei would be annoyed to death. He went on and on, all just to complain that she refused to eat the crab roe paste he made. Ugh…
Especially when she heard the last sentence, “Due to deep affection for Your Highness,” Shen Qingmei couldn’t help but chuckle.
What a perfect example of speaking nonsense with eyes wide open!
Compared to the prototype, Huangfu Wujie, this imitation was not only slightly inferior in appearance but also far less skilled in acting—
In short, he was excessively flattering!
Only that idiot Huangfu Changan would delude himself into believing his words and dote on this person who spoke with a forked tongue.
Therefore, Shen Qingmei made a decision.
Since this person had come knocking on her door, she would not hold back—
The Crown Prince’s Counterattack, Round One: Asserting Dominance!
“Outrageous!”
Before Lan Yi could finish his words, Shen Qingmei slammed the headboard, seething with anger.
“Who do you think you are? Since when is it your business whether I eat or not? Do I need your permission every time I take a piss?”
Lan Yi did not expect such a reaction from the Crown Prince. His expression changed, but he didn’t panic like a palace maid would.
“I dare not, Your Highness.”
In fact, his words were very slick and careful. Although he was confessing, every word was built upon his meticulous “care” for the Crown Prince. In general, he wouldn’t easily offend anyone.
Unfortunately, he had bad luck and happened to run into a loaded gun. Moreover, Shen Qingmei usually didn’t take the ordinary route. When she could solve a problem by being rogue, she didn’t like to waste words.
“You’re just a male pet, nothing more. Without my favor, you’re not worth a damn!”
“I have been taught, Your Highness.”
“I despise fools who act on their own! Don’t think that I’m brainless just because I lost my memory from falling into the water. Go and get twenty lashes on your own! If you repeat this mistake, I won’t spare you!”
“Thank you for your punishment, Your Highness. Lan Yi will heed your guidance.”
From beginning to end, the young man remained motionless on the ground, his back straight, showing a hint of pride. He didn’t seem like the kind of material who would easily become a male pet. If it were one of those cool, handsome, dominant types, it would be understandable. But encountering a chubby one, Shen Qingmei didn’t feel any need to submit!
After taking down the scapegoat, Shen Qingmei thought she had cleared the way for her comeback.
Little did she know…
She underestimated the situation, the market, and the lineup of the male pet legion!
Before the twenty lashes that Lan Yi was ordered to receive could even fall, a large group of beautiful young men knelt down at the entrance of the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters—
This time, they were truly delicate, tender, and exquisite. One buy, one get one free, gorgeous boys!
Sorry, no free shipping, dear!
