Chapter Thirty-Four: Re-entering the Palace to Enjoy the Scenery (2)

"Fool, I think you've been blinded by lard to dare to tease your master!" Jia Lian kicked Bao Er to the ground again. Considering that this servant was usually quite clever, he "forgively" raised his voice after his anger subsided slightly: "Someone, drag Bao Er back to his room, and find him a doctor tomorrow!"
"Second Master, I'm not crazy!" Bao Er, looking terrified, refused to leave Jia Lian's bedroom. He clung to the door frame and shouted desperately, "Second Master, save me, Second Master..."
Under the forceful pull of the sleepy servants, Bao Er, who was howling like a pig being slaughtered, was carried back to his room. As he repeatedly emphasized that he was not crazy, Jia Lian, with an angry expression, waved his hand and locked him in the room with a large lock with a "bang"!
"Foul stench! Bah!" Jia Lian spat heavily, remembering that the charming Xiao Hong was still waiting for him in the room. He immediately turned and headed towards the bedroom, but as soon as he took a step, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. After all, Bao Er's expression was very serious, how could Jia Lian, who had never done anything good in his life, not be suspicious?! The fierce-looking but weak-willed fellow roared at the servants, "Why aren't you lighting the lamp for me? What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"
"Ah—help!" Bao Er's scream suddenly rang out in the night sky, which naturally alarmed the entire Rongguo East Mansion, including Jia She. Everyone's face changed drastically, and they subconsciously burrowed into the quilt, trembling!
"Gah, gah..." A terrifying, sinister laugh suddenly erupted. Inside the tightly locked room, the monstrous ghost began its cat-and-mouse game again. "Bao, Er, you, hurry, hang yourself, and come, with, me!"
"Ah!" Under the same night sky, even the all-powerful Bao Erye couldn't escape the fate of screaming. However, the scene here wouldn't evoke fear, but rather madness!
Several fleshy, shimmering figures rolled on the bed. The little princess and her two maids worked together to fight their nemesis, Bao Erye. After a fierce battle, Bao Erye, in a "refined mood," once again wielded his brush, carving his magnificent "authentic works" onto the buttocks of the three women!
As he carved the words... The little princess was as docile as a rabbit, motionless, but the moment the words were carved, she transformed, becoming as fierce as a little lion, and grabbed Bao Er Ye's arm. "You audacious eunuch, you little brat, how dare you carve words on this princess! I'll kill you!"
"Hehe..." Tian Chang and Di Jiu must have been plotting with the little princess all along. Before Tian Yi could finish speaking, the two pounced and pinned Bao Er Ye down on all fours. They said to the princess with a grin, "Your Highness, this servant has apprehended the criminal. Please carry out the punishment!"
No way?! Is she going to pull that stunt again?! Bao Er Ye saw the little princess staring intently at his proud "little Bao Yu" with burning eyes. Knowing the little girl's unruly nature, he couldn't help but feel "fear." This little princess was going to kill his precious treasure again!
"You brat, you dead eunuch, prepare to die!" The righteous little princess was fearless and unstoppable, her delicate body like a divine weapon of justice. With a wild and impassioned spirit, she hurled herself at Bao Er Ye, determined to smash this lecherous eunuch into
a pulp and rid the people of this scourge! "Sizzle!" Amidst the splashing water, the little princess's punishment was indeed severe, swallowing the prisoner whole in one gulp!
"Oh!" "Little Bao Yu," he suddenly felt darkness engulf him. Terrifying pressure came from all directions. In this critical moment, he fought back fiercely, but in his panic, he stumbled into the heart of the enemy's core!
"Ah!" In the intense confinement, the enemy's multiple defenses launched an ambush from all sides. Fumbling and stumbling, "Little Bao Yu" finally realized he had gone the wrong way when he reached the end. Just as he was banging his head against the wall in regret, the enemy, after several heavy attacks and rotations, suddenly retreated.
Ha, ha… Joy descended from the heavens! Escape was within reach! Overjoyed, Little Bao Yu immediately turned and fled. The distance between them disappeared inch by inch. Although the enemy's scalding flood surged towards him, driven by the hope of survival… Despite his boundless energy, Little Baoyu escaped the impending doom. The safe valley entrance was finally near, and he, Little Baoyu,
was about to see the light again!
"Ah!" Just as most of Little Baoyu's body had escaped, the terrifying enemy returned with a vengeance. Its irresistible force shook heaven and earth, and the poor Little Baoyu only had time for a half-scream before being swallowed by the raging torrent of the Soul-Snatching Valley!
"I will not yield—" With a resounding cry, Little Baoyu, raising his flag high, began his escape once more…
"Alas!" A long sigh came from the nearby Empress's palace, but it wasn't the somber Empress Li who uttered the mournful sigh.
"Sister, I invited you into the palace to keep me company, why are you sighing and looking so downcast? Is something troubling you?" The exquisitely beautiful Empress quietly draped an outer robe over the beautiful young woman gazing at the moon by the window. Alone with her sister, she no longer possessed the coldness and majesty of the daytime!
"Sister, it's nothing! I was just feeling a bit sentimental because the moon is so high in the sky tonight!" Princess Bei Jing smiled, subtly concealing her turbulent thoughts. How could she possibly, how dare she, confide in anyone about the thoughts swirling in her heart?! Not even her own sister, with whom she had shared a deep bond since childhood!
So this is how terrifying passion can be! The dignified princess could use reason to restrain herself from doing anything, but she couldn't control her desires! Her heart was a tangled mess, and she felt even more guilty facing the returning prince, yet the turmoil in her heart remained unabated. Fortunately, the Empress summoned her in time, temporarily rescuing her from her predicament!
"Sister, how is your strange illness?!" The princess, her heart pounding with fear, was afraid the Empress would continue to press her for answers. She quietly and calmly changed the subject, but the mention of her sister's condition only deepened her
sorrow. Forcing a cheerful and confident expression, she said, "Why don't we find another reclusive master to treat her? This world is so vast; surely someone has the real skills!" As she spoke, the Princess of Bei Jing couldn't help but think of her destined nemesis, the various supernatural powers he had displayed, and, even more uncontrollably, that mysterious cloud bed!
Before she could finish speaking, her sorrowful face was already flushed with a deep red.
"I won't treat it anymore! Who knows what terrible disaster it will cause if I continue!" The Empress, who was once the mother of the nation, suddenly looked sorrowful, filled with deep helplessness and self-reproach. Her voice grew increasingly low as she said, "Last time, when that Taoist priest performed his spell, the strange illness didn't get better; instead, it killed so many people in the city. I won't treat it anymore! If I were to kill everyone in the world
just to save myself, wouldn't I be burdened with a terrible sin?!" "Sister, you mustn't think like that!" The Princess felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this. With deep sisterly affection, she quickly comforted herself, "This 'smallpox' epidemic has existed since ancient times. How can you say that you caused it? Perhaps the Taoist priest was already infected before he performed the spell. Fortunately, you weren't infected, sister!"
"Alas! Sister, don't try to fool me!" The Empress's dignified and powerful exterior vanished, revealing her to be nothing more than a weak woman. A stunningly beautiful young woman, her face bearing a deep, bitter smile, leaned against the window, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky and sighing sadly. "The moment that Taoist priest cast his spell, strange black smoke billowed from my body and drifted everywhere. The Taoist priest, who was perfectly healthy, suddenly fell ill on the spot, and then the plague spread throughout the city. If it wasn't because of me, who else could be the culprit?"
"Sister..." Seeing the Empress's thoughts wander into a dead end, the Princess, unable to bear seeing her sister so sorrowful, steeled her heart, biting her lip , about to recklessly reveal Bao Yu's name.
"Sister. It's late, let's sleep. We can talk again tomorrow!" Unfortunately, the Empress misunderstood, thinking her sister was about to offer further advice. She proactively interrupted the Princess, then took her sister's wrist and led her to the bed, just as the two sisters had done in their youth, sleeping together in the same bed!
In that instant, the courage that the Princess of Bei Jing had so desperately mustered vanished once more. With a sigh of helplessness, the beauty, not daring to think further about the villain, forcibly closed her eyes, hoping to forget the constantly swaying, tall figure before her through sleep!
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Though the night was deep, the Jinyiwei commander's mansion was still brightly lit!
"Brother Sun, come, let's have a drink!" Zhao Quan's face was filled with a triumphant smile, as if victory was already upon them. "Wishing us great success, and congratulations on winning the beauty's heart!"
"Heh, heh..." Zhongshan Wolf's lewd laughter echoed in the room. His once-handsome face now became incredibly ugly with his lewd grin. After downing his cup of wine, he replied in a low voice, "Once tomorrow is over, that idiot Jia She will definitely present the precious fan to the court. Then the Jia family will be doomed!"
"Ha, ha..." Zhao Quan, despite his military rank, possessed a certain rough and bold nature. He laughed loudly and poured Zhongshan Wolf another glass of strong liquor. His fanatical gaze seemed to shoot out, and he raised his glass again in a toast, saying, "We still need you, Jia family son-in-law, to uphold justice and put an end to this matter! Cheers!"
"Brother Zhao, did you manage to win over that woman surnamed Shi with the Fu family woman you placed next to Shi Yu?" Zhongshan Wolf was indeed a true wolf; he still hadn't forgotten the delicate Fu Qiufang!
Zhao Quan, hearing this, wore a slightly annoyed expression. He waved his hand dismissively to dispel his displeasure. "That woman has sent back a few secret messages, but they're all trivial matters. And Shi Yu's attitude has become ambiguous again. He's a damn opportunist!"
"Brother Zhao, being an opportunist is good!" Sun Shaozu unexpectedly praised Shi Yu's character, confidently adding, "Once we overthrow the four great families and become invincible in the court, will we still be afraid of this opportunist not obeying?"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Shaozu continued, "As long as you tell that woman from the Fu family to put in a little more effort, I don't believe that guy surnamed Shi can resist the temptation of beauty! If it's really troublesome, we might as well kill him. Then we can promote a few people under him, and I don't believe we can't replace him!"
Zhao Quan's expression hardened. After careful consideration, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes for a moment before fading away. The commander, his voice tinged with frustration and regret, said, "Brother Sun, to be honest, I had considered the same plan, but unfortunately, it didn't work!"
Under the bewildered gaze of Zhongshan Wolf, Zhao Quan paused slightly before continuing, "I don't know where Shi Yu learned his business skills; the entire Red Mansion's incense business basically revolves around him. They can't function without him! However, this Shi fellow recently hinted at something to me, and that's the main reason I gave up on killing him!"
"Oh! Brother Zhao, tell me, what important business could a lowly merchant like him possibly have?!" In Sun Shaozu's mind, all commoners were nothing but lowly people, even wealthy merchants!
Beneath Zhao Quan's calm exterior, his mind raced. After some deliberation, he ultimately chose to tell Sun Shaozu the truth. After all, Sun Shaozu commanded military power and was a force to be reckoned with in the capital. "Brother Sun, you know that Shi Yu has a very good relationship with the foreigners. He hinted last time that he was willing to act as a go-between for us!"
"Brother Zhao, you mean..." Sun Shaozu's heart tightened. Although he already knew Zhao Quan's true intentions, the fact that the two were now discussing such a momentous matter so directly still made his expression heavy.
"Heh, heh... exactly what Brother Sun is thinking!" Although there was no one around, the two stopped talking at the same time, everything becoming clear in the midst of their excited toasts!
"Ah—" The sharp pain forced Bao Erye to wake from his deep sleep. Opening his eyes, he saw the little princess standing by the bed, desperately pulling at his ears!
"Ouch! Let go...it hurts!" Bao Yu's bitter smile was far stronger than his outward helplessness. This proud and spoiled girl was truly stubborn and willful. He had just managed to subdue her last night, but she reverted to her old ways by morning. It seemed being a kept man was no easy feat! Being a gigolo was such a difficult job! He truly didn't understand why so many fools were so eager to marry a rich young lady and climb the social ladder!
"Hmph! I was going to sound out for you, and you're dreaming—no way!" The neatly dressed maidservant disregarded her decorum and pulled him relentlessly until the poor Bao Yu was completely off the bed before she finally withdrew her clutches!
"Husband, come here, let your wife wash your face!" Her tone changed instantly; the little devil transformed into a little angel, virtuous and considerate, personally dressing and washing Bao Yu's face. Her attentive service gave Bao Yu a momentary illusion—was he still enjoying Xi Ren's service in the Grand View Garden?!
"Hehe..." After a quick wash, the little princess's smug laughter revealed the truth. Looking at the fully awake and refreshed Bao Er Ye, she said, "Husband, I'm going to find my sister-in-law. Go back to sleep if you want!"
"Ugh...that wretched little girl!" Completely wide awake, Bao Er Ye finally understood the little princess's wicked intentions. She'd gone to great lengths to make him energetic, only to leave him bored and alone in the Tianyi Palace early in the morning
. Wasn't she going to suffocate him?! How cruel! Life was going to be tough! Sure enough, Bao Er Ye felt uncomfortable all over in less than an incense stick's time. This imperial palace wasn't his Grand View Garden, and that wretched little princess had gone too far. Not only had she taken away Tianchang and Dijiu, but she'd even tricked and dragged away the affectionate Yingchun, leaving him, Bao Er Ye, truly alone!
Huh! Why was I being so honest?! The rogue chuckled. Excitedly, she slipped into the eunuch's quarters of Tianyi Palace!
A moment later, the swaggering little princess, waving her princess token, walked out of the palace gates and began to wander aimlessly through the vast palace, a place she could explore in three days and three nights.
"Ugh! This isn't fun!" Another sigh of frustration rang out, but this time the voice was clear, melodious, and lively, and the speaker wasn't alone.
"Your Highness, you've been to the Imperial Garden many times already. Of course it's not fun!" The older of the two attending maids said softly, "Why don't we go to the Empress's? I heard the Princess Consort has also entered the palace!"
"No, no!" Crown Princess Li Zhi, still with a girlish heart, shook her head in opposition without hesitation, "The Empress and the Princess Consort are always so gloomy. It's so boring! I'm not going!"
"How about we go find Princess Tianyi? I saw her yesterday; she must have returned to the palace!"
The younger maid, seeing the Crown Princess's displeasure, thought of the lively and energetic little princess.
"Ugh... I won't go, I won't go!" Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess's expression changed drastically upon hearing the name Tianyi. She waved her hands frantically, saying in a panic, "I won't go! Tianyi loves to play tricks on people, and she always deliberately teases me!"
The two palace maids, one older and one younger, smiled bitterly at the same time. It seemed that they had also been tricked by the little princess before!
"Oh, right, Tianyi told me something about eunuchs getting married," the Crown Princess said, her mind suddenly clearing as she recalled her argument with the little princess. Still puzzled, she looked at the two maids and asked, "Do you think she's telling the truth? I clearly heard that eunuchs aren't men and can't marry, but she insists they can. Tell me, what's going on?"
The younger maid knew nothing about it, but the older maid had heard a bit. After thinking carefully, she said hesitantly, "I've heard about it. It seems the former head eunuch and several deputy head eunuchs really did get wives outside the palace!"
"What?! Is that true?!" The Crown Princess's eyes widened in shock and frustration, her delicate chin agape. She pressed on, "Eunuchs aren't men, how can they get wives? Why does Tianyi know this but I don't? I lost to her this time! Humph, that damned eunuch!"
"This..." Even the head palace maid blushed and was speechless. How could a young maiden like her understand how eunuchs married and consummated their marriages?!
"Hurry up and tell me!" The title of royal noblewoman wasn't given lightly. Li Zhi had been a member of the imperial family since childhood. Although she wasn't as unrestrained as Tianyi, once her doubts were unresolved, she wouldn't rest until she found out the whole story!
"Your Highness, we...we...don't know either!" The blush spread from the maids' faces to their necks. Fortunately, Li Zhi was usually very kind to them, so they weren't too frightened at this moment!
"Sigh! How stupid!" The Crown Princess walked sullenly into the garden pavilion, almost talking to herself with resentment, "Am I supposed to ask Tianyi?! I don't want to be laughed at by her!"
"Ah! I've got it!" The Crown Princess's lips curled slightly as she kicked a stone pillar in the pavilion hard. Despite the pain in her foot, a brilliant idea suddenly struck her. "Hehe... I'm so stupid! Why don't we find a eunuch and ask him?!"
"This... this isn't quite right!" The head maid hadn't expected the Crown Princess to come up with such a method, but seeing her mistress's excited figure, she dared not spoil her fun!
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay!" Li Zhi was in high spirits; a woman's curiosity is an invincible nature. Unable to contain her curiosity, she urged urgently, "Quickly, catch a eunuch for me. I want to interrogate him properly!"
"Your Highness, there are only maids in this garden, no eunuchs. Unless it's the chief eunuch, ordinary eunuchs cannot enter freely!" The two maids were quite satisfied with the palace's intricate rules for the first time. This should buy them some time; once their mistress's interest waned, the matter would naturally be forgotten!
Unfortunately, their wishful thinking didn't work out. Before the two women's words, tinged with glee, had even finished, fate intervened!
"Nonsense, isn't that just a eunuch?" The Crown Princess didn't care about rules. Pointing excitedly to the flower-lined path ahead, she exclaimed, "Let's go, let's grab this little eunuch and question him!"
The youthful figure of the young woman vanished like a spring breeze, leaving the two palace maids wide-eyed and blinking in disbelief. But the figure of the lazy, wandering eunuch continued to draw closer.
How could this be?! The two women, exchanging glances, couldn't help but sigh at the will of Heaven, how could human effort defy it!
Exotic flowers and rare herbs vied for attention, bamboo and cypress trees complemented each other, a scene more beautiful than any fairyland; Master Bao, walking through this exquisitely crafted imperial garden, was completely captivated. Every pavilion, every chair, every flower, every tree was naturally flowing, without a trace of artifice. "As expected of the royal garden, it truly surpasses even the Grand View Garden in beauty!
" "Hey, come here!" An impatient shout abruptly interrupted Xiao Baozi's leisurely mood, causing him to freeze in surprise. He instinctively looked up to the side.
"What are you looking at?! I'm calling you, hurry up and come here!" The Crown Princess, panting heavily as she rushed over, her jade-like face flushed with excitement and running, saw the little eunuch standing there dumbfounded. She urged him, both amused and exasperated, "Little eunuch, come here!"
"Little eunuch?! Oh..." Baozi's mind raced, and he finally realized—wasn't he the little eunuch, Xiao Baozi?! Ha, ha... Who is this woman? Judging from her tone, she's no ordinary person!
The lush greenery and flowerbeds, arranged with varying density, conveniently blocked Bao Er Ye's view, allowing him to vaguely make out the Crown Princess's expensive dress. A mischievous glint appeared on his lips as a strong sense of amusement welled up within him. Finally, something to do! No more boredom! But that voice...it sounded so familiar!
Though he couldn't immediately place it, the exceptionally intelligent Bao Er Ye instinctively shuddered, his tall, elegant figure instantly shrinking. Coupled with his perfectly mimicking high-pitched voice, who could believe this was the dashing and extraordinary Bao Er Ye?!
The hesitant little eunuch made his way through the flowerbeds towards the Crown Princess. As the distance closed, both men almost simultaneously felt a jolt. Bao Er Ye's perfect memory immediately recognized the Crown Princess; while Li Zhi, though lacking this ability, felt a strange tremor in her girlish intuition—the little eunuch before her seemed so familiar!
"This servant, Xiao Baozi, greets the Crown Princess!" Master Bao remained calm and composed, without a trace of guile. While not one to grovel, he wasn't one for petty male chauvinism either. What was wrong with acting as a servant during playful moments?! Especially serving a beautiful woman added a touch of ambiguity and intrigue to the jest!
"Xiao Baozi?!" The Crown Princess's beautiful eyes flashed with thought. Of course, she couldn't find any information about this Xiao Baozi. Confused, the lively young woman simply asked directly, "Have I seen you before?! Yes, I'm sure I've seen you!"
Ugh… How could these women be so unreasonable?! I, Xiao Baozi, have never seen the Crown Princess. It was Master Bao who saw her, not me, Xiao Baozi!
The self-satisfied eunuch replied without hesitation, his voice low and serious: "Perhaps the Crown Princess saw me by chance before. It's a blessing that I, Xiao Baozi, could never have earned in several lifetimes to be remembered by the Crown Princess!"
"Hehe...you little eunuch are quite the smooth talker, so amusing!" A young girl's heart is indeed good; without worries, she can linger longer. The Crown Princess's beautiful face blossomed, no longer pondering her doubts. Her lighthearted laughter startled Bao Er Ye. "Xiao Baozi, I'm asking you a question, and you must answer honestly, or I'll cut off your head!"
"I will tell you everything I know! I would never dare to lie, please inquire, Crown Princess!" Xiao Baozi's slender figure exuded utmost respect, but a barely perceptible hint of teasing flashed across his lowered face.
"Remember, you must answer honestly!" The Crown Princess, still very concerned, once again instructed the handsome, thin eunuch before her, asking in a solemn voice, "Little Baozi, have you taken a wife yet?!
How do eunuchs take wives?"
"Ah!" Unexpectedly, the Second Prince Bao could no longer suppress the overwhelming surprise and amusement within him. His face contorted in a grimace, speechless, he wondered if he had misheard. Why would the Crown Princess care about such a thing?!
"Speak quickly, or I'll cut off your head!" The Crown Princess gritted her teeth and pretended to be fierce, but her beautiful face had no threatening power. The newlywed, she didn't wait for the eunuch to reply and continued to ask: "Why do eunuchs want wives? Why aren't eunuchs men? But you are not women either. Are you the legendary hermaphrodites? How can there be so many hermaphrodites in the world?"
The Crown Princess talked on and on, which showed that Li Zhi was a typical woman - a curious person. She had done similar things before, but the palace maids and eunuchs who were asked either knew nothing or were terrified and kept silent, for fear that they would be killed if they said something inappropriate!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Entering the Palace Again to See the Scenery (3)

"Your Highness, I haven't gotten a wife yet!" After a while, Bao Erye finally managed to calm down from his endless laughter and answered the Crown Princess's simple question in a trembling voice!
"Alas!" The illusory Baoyu shook his head and sighed with sympathy, his words heavy and somber with concern for the country and its people. "Sex education in this era is so backward! Even the Crown Princess doesn't know such a simple thing!
Should I—the fake Baoyu—save this ignorant and backward era?! Should I become Teacher Bao—the Crown Princess's enlightenment teacher again?!"
"Go on, tell me!" An unexpected surprise fell from the sky. The Crown Princess hadn't held out much hope, but she hadn't expected to meet such a bold and forthright eunuch. Now that she had the chance, she asked questions relentlessly. The lively young woman, fearing that little Baoyu would back down, immediately pressed him with questions, even resorting to material inducements: "Tell me, and I'll reward you with delicious food and fun toys when you're done!"
Ha, ha... trying to coax a child! Baoyu's smile deepened, and he was both amused and exasperated. When did he become a three-year-old?!
Though inwardly sighing with helplessness, Xiao Baozi's expression remained perfectly calm. After a struggle of hesitation, encouraged by the Crown Princess, he finally opened the door to "knowledge," saying, "Your Highness, eunuchs do indeed have wives. As for why they want wives, it's probably a psychological need, a way to compensate for the regrets of their lives!"
"Compensation?! Oh—I don't understand!" The Crown Princess, who had only read some classic texts like the Hundred Family Surnames and the Thousand Character Classic, couldn't possibly grasp such profound psychological questions in a short time. She honestly shook her head in response and then fully displayed her excellent habit of asking questions without shame. "Are eunuchs hermaphrodites? You're also a eunuch, so how can you have regrets? Do you also want compensation?!"
"Damn it! I'm not a eunuch, I don't want any bullshit compensation!" Upon hearing such an insult to male dignity, the illusory Baoyu preemptively launched into a tirade of curses in his inner world, proudly displaying his masculine prowess!
"This..." Xiao Baozi secretly rolled his eyes at the Crown Princess, pondered for a moment, and then replied tactfully, "I have no regrets. Not every eunuch has psychological problems! Besides, eunuchs aren't hermaphrodites!"
"Oh—" The Crown Princess suddenly understood, and pointed at Xiao Baozi with obvious joy, saying, "I understand. So you're not a problematic little eunuch, you're a happy little eunuch!"
With a "thud," the illusory Baoyu's vision went black and he fainted to the ground!
A flustered Bao Yu quickly changed the subject, using a low, mysterious tone to forcefully attract the Crown Princess's attention. "Your Highness," he said, "eunuchs were originally men, but later they became men who weren't men. These men who weren't men weren't considered men by everyone; although everyone didn't treat them as men, these men who weren't men still considered themselves men; therefore, these men who weren't men would do things like normal men seeking wives. They use this to present themselves as normal men!"
At this point, Bao Yu was secretly delighted. He refused to believe that this string of "men," which he himself couldn't count, wouldn't confuse the Crown Princess! The greatly disheartened, illusory Bao Yu raised his head triumphantly, muttering to himself, "Hmph! Trying to outsmart me! You little punk!" "
Your Highness, do you understand now?" the sincere and honest little Bao Yu asked respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped. He truly was a loyal little eunuch!
"You mean eunuchs were originally... normal men!" To Xiao Baozi's astonishment, the Crown Princess recited it fluently and quickly, word for word, and then added with even greater kindness, "Xiao Baozi, you're so good, you explained it so clearly. Of course, this Crown Princess understands!"
Well... the once spirited and illusory Baoyu was now sweating profusely, his face wilting like a frostbitten eggplant, and he cried out in despair, "Heavens! I've actually encountered a genius idiot who can remember everything I hear!"
"Heh, heh... the Crown Princess is indeed exceptionally intelligent, I admire you!" Xiao Baozi's eyes were filled with intense bitterness, and a sheepish smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He really was a "good" little eunuch! "
Go on! Since eunuchs aren't men, how do they get married and consummate their marriage?" At this point, a blush finally appeared on the Crown Princess's face, perhaps recalling her own wedding night with the Crown Prince. The lively and innocent girl from a moment ago now displayed a captivating charm!
A woman's innate curiosity overcame her sudden shyness. The Crown Princess, with a thirst for knowledge far exceeding that of ordinary people, even used a threatening look, as if to say, "If you don't tell me, I'll chop off your head!"
"And also, Little Baozi. How did you become a man who isn't a man? What's the difference between the two?"
"Bang!" Amidst the swirling dust, the illusory jade, driven mad, plunged headfirst into the earth, creating a large crater. A pitiful scream echoed from the crater, "Heavens! I've been defeated! Someone save this poor woman!"
The noble and sacred task of being a "savior" naturally fell to Second Master Bao. With a quick thought, he gritted his teeth and made a decision—to reduce the number of ignorant people in the world, he was willing to offer his body for scientific research! Hehe… How great I am!
“Your Highness, these two questions actually have the same answer,” Little Baoyu paused slightly, carefully crafting his words, before mustering his courage to say, “However, I don’t know how to explain this topic, nor can I explain it clearly!”
“Why? Is it difficult?” The more she asked, the stronger the Crown Princess’s curiosity became. Knowing that the usually stern Crown Prince would never answer such a question, and that this little eunuch was one in a million with his audacity, the Crown Princess, fearing she would miss her chance, hurriedly said in a tone that was both pleading and commanding, “Think carefully, you must find a way to make me understand!”
The Crown Princess had another thought she didn’t voice: “I refuse to believe that my childhood rival, Tianyi, can understand, but I can’t! Today, no matter what, I must get an answer!”
“I see!” The troubled Little Baoyu scratched his head. In the instant the Crown Princess’s heart pounded, the little eunuch finally showed a glimmer of hope and a sigh of relief, “Your Highness, I have…”
"Master, Master..." The merciless blow shattered Xiao Baozi's wishful thinking as two palace maids rushed in, interrupting their conversation. "Her Majesty the Empress is looking for you everywhere!
Ugh... Is it really that bad luck?!" Baozi's soaring spirits plummeted into an icy abyss. He had just glimpsed the glimmer of hope brought by "knowledge," only to have it instantly shattered! Alas! He can't be Teacher Bao anymore!
Although Li Zhi was a lively and innocent young girl, she still understood the basics of being the Crown Princess. Besides, it was Empress Fengyu, her aunt and mother-in-law; how could she possibly refuse?!
After the two maids caught their breath, the Crown Princess said with slight disappointment and frustration, "Alright, I'll go right now!" Xiao
Baozi's mood was a mixture of worry and joy, a faint happiness amidst his anxieties. After all, he was just the fictional "Xiao Baozi," and being too arrogant could lead to serious trouble if he were exposed.
Before the conflicted Xiao Baozi could even bow and see him off, the Crown Princess suddenly changed the subject, her cheerful and excited words instantly elevating the little eunuch to a high position. "Xiao Baozi, you little eunuch are really fun! I, the Crown Princess, have decided that from today onwards you will be my personal eunuch. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I will promote you to Chief Eunuch. How about that, happy?!
" "Ah!" Xiao Baozi and the two palace maids exclaimed in unison. The young master was completely taken aback, while the two maids were exasperated by the Crown Princess's audacious antics. This high position in the palace was being so casually granted to a little eunuch she had only met once! The Crown Princess's status was not to be trifled with; her words carried immense weight and influence!
"This..." Baoyu, of course, couldn't accept this reward that left him both amused and exasperated. He shook his hands repeatedly, trying to politely decline!
"Hehe... Too happy to speak, are you!" The misunderstanding deepened. The self-absorbed Crown Princess didn't give the little eunuch a chance to explain, instead enthusiastically stepping forward to encourage him: "Little Baozi, don't worry, what I say goes! Anyone who dares to object will have their head chopped off! Let's see who dares to disrespect me!"
Baoyu, interrupted, felt utterly bitter, as if he had swallowed a bitter pill. His mind was filled with despair, "Heavens, how did things turn out like this?! It seems I can't escape without revealing my identity!"
Li Zhi, overjoyed to have such an obedient little eunuch, was overjoyed, as if her boring days were long gone. She didn't care what the little eunuch thought, waving her hand and taking the lead, "Come on, let's go see the Empress first, then go back to the Crown Prince's Palace to play!"
The Empress?! Wasn't that the target she was looking for?! Just as he was about to forcefully escape, the magical power that was about to burst forth from the Second Master's body was abruptly returned to his sea of consciousness. His thoughts shifted, and the obedient little Baozi returned. His playful thoughts led him to let things take their course; using this method to see the Empress wasn't a bad idea! Heh, heh…maybe he could even continue Teacher Bao's wonderful work to the end!
"Sister-in-law, how can you not seek treatment? Someone has even found you a highly skilled healer!" Inside the Empress's Phoenix Palace, the little princess encountered a similar situation to the Princess of Bei Jing. No matter how much she pleaded, the Empress was no longer willing to take the risk!
"Tianyi, who is this expert you've found?" The princess still hoped her sister could cure the strange illness, and seeing Tianyi's persistent efforts, she quietly offered her help. "Seeing how confident you are in this expert, why don't you tell us? Let's see if he truly has the ability to cure the Empress's strange illness!"
Tianyi hadn't wanted to reveal Baoyu's name immediately, but the Empress's opposition was a huge surprise. Now, her competitive nature made her steel her resolve, and in her haste, she exaggeratedly said, "My two sisters-in-law, the person I've found is very famous! Everyone in the capital knows him! He is Jia Baoyu of the Jia family, born with a jade pendant! He not only possesses the magical 'Spiritual Jade,' but he also eradicated the recent epidemic in the city! Isn't that amazing!"
Once she mentioned her beloved boy, the little princess became incredibly talkative, unconsciously replacing his "stinky" with "fragrant," as if afraid the world wouldn't know the extraordinary charm of her beloved!
"Ah!" Suppressed astonishment echoed in the hearts of Princess Bei Jing and the Empress. The Empress, upon hearing that the "smallpox" she had caused was actually cured by Bao Yu, couldn't help but feel intense gratitude mixed with normal disbelief. She had met Bao Yu once and knew he was indeed exceptionally talented and charismatic, but she simply couldn't connect him with a doctor of extraordinary medical skills!
Princess Bei Jing's astonishment was a thousand times stronger than her sister's, and the reason for it was obvious. The beautiful woman's heart was churning like a raging storm, her brows furrowed as she pondered. How could fate have known that nemesis Bao Yu?! And judging from the maid's unusual expression and tone, the two were probably quite close!
Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy, becoming even more convinced of the affection flickering in Tianyi's eyes. A complex and inexplicable melancholy rose from her heart, causing restlessness amidst the tangled mess. She secretly hated the culprit who was causing her so much unease; why did she keep hearing news of this philanderer wherever she went?! She refused to believe she couldn't escape his world!
"Sister-in-law, how are you?!" Tianyi's words were cut short by the sight of her two sisters-in-law standing there, silent and expressionless.
She was both surprised and resentful, repeatedly asking questions before finally cleverly turning to the princess for help: "Sister-in-law, please say something! You don't want your sister-in-law to suffer like this, do you?!"
"No need to try to persuade me!" The queen, regaining her composure, resolutely suppressed any remaining hope. She no longer wanted her suffering to affect countless innocent people. If an even more severe epidemic were to break out this time, she feared she would live with a guilty conscience for the rest of her life, until after death, she would be cast into the deepest hell, never to be reborn! If that were the case, the kind and aloof Empress would rather die sooner rather than later!
"Tianyi. Forget it! I tried to persuade my sister-in-law last night too! But her mind was made up, and I couldn't change it!"
Understanding the Empress's concerns, the Princess couldn't bear to see Tianyi anxiously waiting, so she gently spoke up and tried to persuade the little princess instead, even gently taking the little princess's agitated wrist as she spoke!
"Ugh! I'm so angry!" Tianyi was not only doing this because of the task given to her by the brat, but also because she genuinely wanted what was best for her sister-in-law. Now that her efforts were in vain, the naturally proud and willful Tianyi stomped her foot heavily and complained!
"Hehe...who's so angry?!" In response to Tianyi's anger, Li Zhi, who had always been at odds with her, laughed crisply and happily entered with her personal maid. Of course, there was also her newly acquired, amusing little eunuch, Xiao Baozi!
"Hmph! I'm not in a good mood today and don't want to mess around with you!" The two bickering girls always attacked each other when they met, but the little princess, who had something on her mind, really wasn't interested in playing around!
"But I'm very happy! You won't be jealous, will you?" The Crown Princess launched her offensive with a smile. The two women were about the same age. Seniority didn't exist between them. Li Zhi, in high spirits, boasted, "Today I acquired a new personal eunuch in the Imperial Garden. He's very interesting. Would Your Highness like to see him?!"
"Boring! This princess has no interest in seeing any eunuch!" Tianyi tossed her head and didn't even look at the Crown Princess.
"Little Baozi, come here and pay your respects to Her Highness!" The Crown Princess, who had gained the upper hand, rarely managed to defeat the little princess, so she naturally pressed her advantage. She triumphantly forcibly summoned Little Baozi to her side!
"Little Baozi?! Why does that name sound so familiar?!" The huge, luxurious palace suddenly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. The little princess and Yingchun, who was standing beside her, suddenly breathed heavily. Then, Tianchang and Dijiu's jade-like faces changed slightly, and finally, even the full breasts of the Princess of Beijing heaved rapidly. Only the utterly bewildered Empress looked around, unable to figure it out!
Suddenly, the little princess's heart tightened, and she finally remembered who "Little Baozi" was! Her previously indifferent body spun like a whirlwind, her wide, beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at the little eunuch who approached with a wry smile. Who else could it be but the brat?!
"You…" Tianyi's instinctive rage surged. This brat dared to side with her enemy! This was unacceptable! Before the girl could utter her angry rebuke, the hint in Baozi's eyes stopped her in her tracks, leaving her frozen in place with a strange expression!
The alluring Yingchun recognized her disguised lover even faster than the little princess, but her gentle nature prevented her from feeling anger; instead, she maintained a facade of calm!
Following closely behind Yingchun, Princess Beijing's heart also trembled. The indelible mark deeply etched in her heart flickered with a mysterious light. In the eyes of the beautiful princess, she saw a strange, thin eunuch, but in her heart, she saw her nemesis who tormented her at midnight!
Ugh… even shrunk to this size, they still recognized her! The drastically changed Bao Er Ye now truly felt one word for women—admiration, and at the same time, one word—fear! If all his women were this formidable, how could he keep his whereabouts a secret, and how could he roam freely?! Alas… pitiful!
"Little Bao, hurry up and pay your respects to Princess Tianyi!" The little princess's strange expression was taken as a victory by the Crown Princess, who playfully used the little eunuch as her weapon, her secret weapon against her nemesis!
"This humble servant greets Your Highness, Princess!" The fawning smile on Bao Erye's face was genuine. He was most afraid that this little girl's anger would ruin everything, and judging from the conversation they'd overheard in the hall, the princess's persuasion had clearly failed. The astute Bao Erye needed this method to gain the Empress's trust!
"Good boy! You little eunuch are so good!" Whether it was laughter born of extreme anger or a genuine desire to discipline the treacherous boy who had betrayed her, the princess's crescent-shaped eyes narrowed into slits with a charming smile as she looked at the little eunuch. "Come. Let me see what's so cute about you?"
Before she finished speaking, the princess, of noble birth, began to fondle the little eunuch's face and body. The "gentle" pinching and twisting, under her radiant smile, was particularly stimulating, and the "touched" and overwhelmed Bao Erye almost burst into tears.
"How dare I boast before the princess!" The poor little Baozi, while bowing and dodging the princess's clutches, offered a veiled compliment: "Your Highness is a woman of unparalleled beauty, exceptionally intelligent, compassionate, and righteous..."
"Giggle, giggle..." Clucking laughter echoed through the hall. First, the Crown Princess burst into laughter, then Yingchun, both amused and annoyed, covered her face and cried out. Even the little princess, who had been the culprit, was trembling with amusement
at the boy's antics. The usually gentle and virtuous Princess of Bei Jing also smiled broadly, a rare sight indeed. Her beautiful eyes flashed with complex emotions; seeing Baoyu's pitiful state, she felt a surge of satisfaction! "Heh, chuckle..." When even the palace maids like Chang and Di Jiu couldn't resist, the elegant and graceful princess, surrounded by her own family, no longer restrained herself. The amusing little eunuch had lifted her spirits, even easing some of her heavy gloom!
"Fun, you little eunuch are really fun!" The Crown Princess's proud and smug gaze caused the little princess's arrogance to erupt completely. As soon as her laughter subsided, she immediately declared, "This little eunuch is mine!"
"You?! No way!" The Crown Princess was taken aback by her opponent's shameless attempt to snatch him away. With the Empress backing her up, she was fearless. The temperament of a noblewoman from a wealthy family was also quite wild. She retorted coquettishly, "Don't even think about it. I found Xiao Baozi. He naturally belongs to me! If you want him, go find him yourself!"
Hmm... what kind of talk is that?! "Find," "find"—am I a thing?! The dizzy and illusory Baoyu roared furiously, "Anyone who dares to treat me like a thing, I'll fight them to the death! I'm definitely not a thing! Ah! No, I am a thing, ugh... I'm going crazy!"
"Hmph! This princess has taken a liking to him, and I want him!" Tianyi was not to be trifled with; behind her was the Empress Dowager. Two ranks higher than the Empress!
"No way! I won't give it to you, what can you do about it?!" The Crown Princess was not only the Empress's niece but also the future Empress, so of course she was quite bold!
"Give it to me or not? If you don't, I'll take it!" Tianyi's fighting spirit was aroused. Her crescent-shaped eyes turned into crescent-shaped scimitars!
"Take it then, who's afraid of who!" The Crown Princess dragged Xiaobaozi behind her, her little face flushed as she glared at the little princess.
Seeing this, the little princess reacted quickly, suddenly pulling the eunuch back. The Crown Princess, nearby, also pulled hard without warning, and the two women each grabbed one of Bao Er Ye's arms, pulling the small, thin boy off the ground like a starfish!
"Hehe..." It wasn't the first time the women had seen the two royal princes fight like this, but they usually fought over small toys; they never expected them to fight over a eunuch this time!
"What are you laughing at? Aren't you going to help?" Although Princess Tianyi hadn't used her extraordinary strength, the Crown Princess was still somewhat lacking in power, which was the main reason she was often at a disadvantage. Seeing Bao Er Ye being pulled little by little towards her nemesis, Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and instinctively turned her head to call for help!
"Hey! Coming!" The Crown Princess's two personal maids rushed forward, laughing.
"Forever and ever, go!" The fighting spirit had quietly turned into a game. Although the little princess definitely had the strength to defeat the three women, she still raised her beautiful neck and shouted for help.
"No—" Little Bao's mournful cry was only a fleeting moment, quickly drowned out by the sea of beautiful girls.
"Sister, you should say something!" Whether it was out of concern for her brother Bao's suffering or a vague dissatisfaction in her heart, the Princess of Bei Jing rarely interfered in "other people's business," and whispered in the Empress's ear, "Tell them to release that little eunuch!"
"Hmm!" The Empress was also a woman, and naturally had the gossipy nature of a woman. Originally wanting to watch a good show, she couldn't help but glance at her sister with a slightly surprised expression. Seeing the Princess of Bei Jing's heart pounding wildly, she finally shifted her gaze, waved her delicate hand in the air, and stopped the farce with her authoritative words, "Alright, stop it, all of you stop! This little eunuch will be assigned by me!"
Sweat...assigned! What does that mean?! Little Baozi, whose joy at being freed from his repeated setbacks hadn't even reached his lips, was immediately turned to stone by the Empress's strange remark!
"Sister-in-law, how do you suggest we divide it?" Tianyi, her face flushed from playing, was sweating profusely with her panting breaths!
"Auntie, you tell me, Zhier will do whatever you say!" To protect her little eunuch, the Crown Princess resorted to coquetry and sweet talk, playing the family card!
Seeing the situation turning sour, the little princess immediately clung to the Empress's other arm, pleading in a sweet voice, "Sister-in-law, the Ancestor said you're the best person, you won't bully little Tianyi, right?!"
Wow, wow—women are indeed unpredictable and unfathomable! Baozi's inner thoughts were filled with strong admiration; the two witches had instantly transformed into angels, making him wonder if the previous scene was just his imagination!
"I have an idea," Princess Bei Jing suddenly spoke, easing the Empress's bitter expression. The gentle beauty's gaze towards Xiao Baozi held a strange undertone, sending a chill down the young eunuch's spine.
Amidst the expectant looks of the other women, the Princess said with utmost seriousness, "Why don't we cut this little eunuch in two? You two can each carry half back!"
"Hiss!" Bao Er Ye shuddered, inwardly gasping for breath, his scalp tingling as if a giant axe was about to fall.
"No! Your Highness, spare me! Though I have a thousand faults and ten thousand transgressions, my heart is as sincere as heaven and earth can attest. Please, Your Highness, investigate!" The exaggeratedly flamboyant eunuch leaped to the "cruel" voluptuous Princess, his knees buckling as he grabbed her legs, pleading desperately.
Xiao Baozi's words were full of hidden meaning, and only the woman in the room could understand them. The princess was caught off guard, her heart filled with shame and anxiety, and a thousand mixed feelings surged up at once: trepidation, fear, heat, joy... a thousand flavors were not missed, so the beauty stared blankly at her nemesis at her feet, at a loss!

Chapter Thirty-Six: Entering the Palace Again to See the Romance (4)
The little eunuch's words and actions were naturally a different feeling in the eyes of the other women. Yingchun and the little princess, who knew their lover's identity and character, smiled strongly, but at the same time had a great sense of unease. What did the bad guy want to do?! Could it be... No, we must stop him!
The Crown Princess and the cold-blooded Empress mistakenly believed that Xiao Baozi was genuinely frightened by the Princess's words, hence his panicked state. Feeling sorry for him, Li Zhi kindly stepped forward to pull the eunuch away, saying, "Xiao Baozi, don't be afraid, I, the Crown Princess, won't kill you!"
"Xiao Baozi, how dare you be so bold! How dare a little eunuch like you touch the Queen's noble body?!" Tianyi, with a sense of foreboding, feigned anger and forcefully pried open the brat's groping hands, preemptively declaring, "Come on, let's see how I punish you!"
Before the words were finished, Tianyi grabbed Xiao Baozi and rushed towards the gate, giving the eunuch a fierce glare behind her back, her eyes clearly saying, "You brat, with me here, don't even think about doing anything improper!"
"Hey, what are you doing?! Why aren't you moving Xiao Baozi? Auntie hasn't said who she's giving him to yet!" The Crown Princess was slightly taken aback at first, then suddenly realized that her arch-rival was using this as an excuse to try and steal him away!
Realizing this, the Crown Princess wouldn't stand for it, and playfully grabbed Bao Er Ye's other arm.
Just as another farce of two women vying for one man was about to unfold, the Princess of Bei Jing unintentionally or subconsciously helped the Crown Princess, "Tianyi, let go of this little eunuch. I was just joking and scared him; don't take it so seriously!"
"Alright, everyone sit down with me!" Seeing her sister so generously not pursuing the matter, the Empress, unaware of the inside story, finally spoke. Her solemn tone was full of authority, and the sudden change in her words startled everyone. Under the majestic presence of the Empress, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.
While everyone was seated for a moment, Empress Li's exquisitely beautiful face turned to the Princess of Bei Jing beside her. The stunningly beautiful woman's deep eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of doubt as she looked at her younger sister, and amidst this indelible fog of confusion, she made a decision in an instant!
"Sister-in-law, you can't favor Li Zhi!" Tianyi pouted, sitting opposite the Crown Princess. Despite her usual spoiled nature, she had given the Empress ample face today, but that was her bottom line! She couldn't let that brat run off to her mortal enemy!
"Auntie, Zhi'er will listen to you!" The Crown Princess was as obedient as a kitten; though she lacked Tianyi's boldness, her strategy was clearly superior!
"Hmm!" The Empress, the mother of the nation, was now meddling in such a trivial matter. The usually stern and cold beauty found it quite amusing. After glancing around at the assembled women, she fixed her gaze on the much-discussed little eunuch for the first time!
Ah, no wonder! Standing alone at the lower end, Xiao Baozi finally met the Empress's gaze. Even with Empress Li's calm and composed demeanor, she couldn't help but be taken aback. This little eunuch possessed an extraordinary aura; aside from being somewhat thin, he seemed so different, mysterious and unfathomable!
Thinking of this, the Empress's phoenix eyes closed slightly, her heart skipping a beat as she inexplicably recalled Jia Baoyu, whom she had met briefly but who left a deep impression on her. The beautiful woman involuntarily nodded slightly. No wonder the two little maids were arguing so fiercely over this outstanding and witty little eunuch. But why did her sister's expression seem so strange?
Endless doubts transformed into intense curiosity, and to uncover the truth, Empress Li finally solidified the resolve that had flashed through her mind earlier.
"Xiao Baozi. Do you know your crime?!" The cold, sharp rebuke, though lacking in imposing force, still carried the natural authority of someone standing at the pinnacle of power, instantly chilling the atmosphere in the hall!
"Kneel down!" Seeing the young eunuch's nonchalant and unmoving demeanor, the Empress felt a genuine displeasure, but at the same time, a stronger curiosity arose about this strange eunuch!
Damn it! For no reason at all, he's being asked to kneel before a woman—no way! A surge of intense frustration and anger welled up within Bao Yu. He didn't care about jokingly kneeling before his own woman, but to seriously kneel before a complete stranger was simply not the style of this fake Bao Yu!
"Your Majesty, I don't know where I went wrong. If I am truly wrong, I should kneel," said Bao Er Ye, who wouldn't even kneel to heaven and earth. A smirk appeared on his lips as he straightened his slightly bent posture. He then cleverly turned the tables on the Empress, "Although I haven't had much formal education, I know the principle of not yielding to power. If it's to pay respects to Your Majesty, I should kneel. But if it's because I'm guilty, then I cannot kneel. I believe that the Holy Empress, respected by all, is not a tyrannical person and would not be unreasonable to a lowly eunuch like me!"
The palace maids standing nearby couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at the eunuch's audacity. They had never seen such a heroic, almost unmanly man before, and instinctively clenched their fists, their hearts pounding with anxiety.
Tianyi and Yingchun were also terrified, and the Princess of Beijing was even more frightened, her face turning pale. However, they weren't worried about the little eunuch; the three women knew Baoyu's abilities all too well. Instead, they were worried about the aloof and cold Empress, fearing that she might really anger Baoyu and cause the situation to spiral out of control!
"Wow! Little Bao, you're so handsome!" The Crown Princess's exclamation made everyone chuckle. Li Zhi, whose heart was deeply moved, had countless little stars of admiration in her eyes. She never expected that this playful little eunuch would have such a bold side; he was more like a man than a man—hehe, he should say that a man who wasn't a man was more like a man than a man!
"Pfft!" Yingchun, who was clever and reserved, played her part at the crucial moment. Her cheerful laughter instantly triggered a burst of laughter from the women, and the tense atmosphere caused by the confrontation between the Empress and Baoyu turned into a relaxed and lively one.
"Hehe, hehe..." The little princess, realizing what was happening, playfully stepped forward to give the Empress a way out. Tianyi, feigning displeasure, slapped the brat lightly, her eyes flashing with feigned reproach: "What kind of spirit does a eunuch like you have? My sister-in-law isn't unreasonable; otherwise, she would have chopped you off!"
"Ouch!" Under Princess Tianyi's fierce attack, the previously indomitable hero reverted to a mere eunuch, pleading, "Your Highness, spare me! I know I was wrong!"
"Sister, you're not really angry with a little eunuch, are you?! Don't upset yourself!" Princess Beijin secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat, gently easing the embarrassment and anger on her sister's face.
The eunuch's pleas, though ostensibly a plea for forgiveness from the princess, were also a veiled attempt to appease the Empress. How could Empress Li, who could maintain her throne amidst the scheming and intrigue of the harem, not understand this?! The cold beauty wasn't truly angry to begin with, and with the women's subtle and overt persuasion, her initial anger dissipated.
Although her embarrassment and annoyance vanished, the turbulent waves of doubt in the Empress's heart surged even more fiercely; her sister's strange behavior was becoming increasingly obvious. An irresistible curiosity made the thirty-year-old beauty restless!
"I, in my magnanimity, will not hold it against you!" The Empress gently waved her jade-like hand, subtly abandoning her strategy of high-pressure interrogation of Xiao Baozi, and softly rebuked him with a gentle touch: "But I absolutely cannot allow you to affect the relationship between the princess and the crown princess, so..."
What was this woman trying to do?! The second young master Baozi, whose mind had slightly shifted, was not so appreciative. He suppressed his anger and stood quietly to listen. No matter what, no one could truly step on his head!
The Empress paused slightly, her gaze inexplicably sweeping over her younger sister before turning to the unusually handsome young eunuch. "Little Baozi," she said, "I've decided to keep you by my side. For the time being, you will serve the Princess."
"What?!" The Crown Princess and Xiao Tianyi jumped up simultaneously, exchanging bewildered glances, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on their faces. They hadn't expected that their rivalry would end so abruptly, with the "fisherman" so confidently and undeniably right.
"Your Majesty's decree is my humble servant!" Just when Baozi was about to give up on saving the Empress, a twist of fate led to the Empress saving herself. The world was indeed full of wonders, stirring a deep sense of emotion in Baozi as he respectfully accepted the decree, his chivalrous spirit returning to his mind!
Was this fate?! The Princess of Bei Jing's thoughts drifted far away in an instant. Amidst her trembling heart, a thought flashed through her mind, and she loudly proclaimed to herself, "I only did this to cure my sister's strange illness. I have no other intentions. Everything at the Great Buddha Temple was just a dream, a dream that should never have happened!"
The farce slowly came to an end, just as the Empress's palace was in the midst of its commotion. At the Jia family mansion, drums and music resounded, bells rang, and banners fluttered as a long procession escorted the imperial concubine's coffin towards the Jia family tomb.
Dressed in mourning clothes, Jia Zhen mingled among the crowd. The moment he stepped out of the mansion, a flash of triumphant smirk crossed the old man's sorrowful face. Everything was proceeding smoothly as he had planned.
The escorting procession had drawn most of the Jia family's manpower. Not only were the masters gone, but even the servants were few and far between. Moreover, according to custom, they would have to stay at the Iron Threshold Temple for several days. With these few days of divine favor, it would be enough for Master Zhen to deal with a few wretches!
In the guest courtyard of the Ningguo Mansion, because Lady You and her daughter had no dealings with the Rongguo Mansion, and because Jia Zhen had gone to great lengths to obstruct them, only Lady You and Second Sister remained as the two special mistresses in the entire Ning and Rong Mansions.
"Ah! Finally, it's quiet!" Second Sister You lay comfortably on the heated kang, cracking melon seeds on the kang while stretching her hot, delicate body in bliss. This straightforward beauty said this both because the constant mournful music was no longer in her ears, and because Jia Zhen's departure had relaxed her tense nerves.
"Daughter, why did you accept the money Jia Zhen gave you yesterday?" The usually snobbish Madam You, wary of the wolf in sheep's clothing, had quietly suppressed her vanity. However, she hadn't expected her second daughter's actions to be so unexpected. Confused and worried, the middle-aged beauty asked, "Second daughter, were you swayed by this gold? Jia Zhen is no human being!"
"Heh, heh..." Second Sister You's playful laughter, once a habitual sound, now resembled that of a wanton woman. She glanced disdainfully at the plate of gold, laughing merrily, and said, "Trying to seduce me with this? He's blind! Mother, don't worry, I just don't want him to suspect anything. Once Eldest Sister returns, we'll move back to Daoxiang Village. As long as we hold out until Third Sister returns, we won't be afraid of anything. Third Sister is very capable!"
At the same time, a chilling wind suddenly swept through the Yihong Courtyard, which was now only guarded by a few maids and an old woman.
"Squeak!" The window, not properly closed, was forced open by the wind, letting in an invisible blast of cold air, instantly turning early summer into the dead of winter.
The eerie wind was even stranger, swirling and swirling in the confined space, sweeping through Bao Er Ye's bedroom inside and out, leaving the floor a mess of clutter.
"Bang!" After a long while, the black mist in the wind twisted and turned wildly, and amidst the rising invisible fury, Bao Er Ye's beloved mirror door shattered into pieces, ending its mission. From within the swirling black mist, a chilling female voice rang out, "Damn it! Looks like this divine stone must be on Jia Baoyu; well, I haven't had enough fun with it anyway! Gaa, gaa..."
Amidst the shrill, terrifying ghostly laughter, the wind blew out of the window again, leaving behind a messy bedroom that tormented the servants watching over the house!
The joyful time passed quickly. Even though Tianyi and Yingchun were reluctant to leave the Empress's Phoenix Palace, with the bright moon high in the sky, they could find no reason to stay any longer. Having lingered all day, the two girls could only give the little eunuch a warning look before reluctantly leaving.
"Zhi'er, you should go back too!" The Empress, amused, spoke for the first time to send them away. Her heart secretly contemplated suicide. This little girl usually complained of being bored after a short while, but today she refused to leave no matter what. It seemed that this little treasure was really charming. Fortunately, he was just a eunuch, otherwise she would really be worried about the Crown Prince!
"Auntie, can I borrow Little Baozi for one night? Just one night. Please?" Coquetry was Li Zhi's trump card. The girl's pleading face instantly dimmed, her beautiful eyes reddened, and she looked determined to burst into tears if you didn't agree.
If it weren't for the Princess Consort's reasons, the Empress would definitely not have been able to withstand the Crown Princess's pleas. The cold beauty, in a great dilemma, looked at her sister with a bitter smile.
"Tomorrow! Zhi'er, it's too late today. You can come and pick him up tomorrow!" The Princess of Bei Jing, mindful of her nemesis's extraordinary abilities, had decided to find out his purpose tonight. Regardless of whether Bao Yu had come for the Empress's illness, she was determined to force him to treat her—after all, he owed her!
Unconsciously, the Princess of Bei Jing had made herself the creditor, and the one who owed the debt was naturally the shrewish Bao Yu, who else but this lecherous man would have such a privilege?!
"Alright! Second Aunt, you must keep your word!" The Crown Princess was initially sullen and dejected, then her face tensed as if fearing the Princess would change her mind. Finally, after receiving affirmative responses from both the Empress and the Princess, the young woman's slender figure instantly radiated vitality.
"Little Baozi. Be good and wait for me to come pick you up tomorrow! Okay!" The Crown Princess spoke earnestly, as if coaxing a child, and subconsciously reached out to gently pat Little Baozi's "little" face. Fortunately, the exasperated and exasperated Baozi cleverly ducked away first.
The birds finally returned to their nests, and the luxurious and magnanimous Empress's palace returned to its usual tranquility; however, after this commotion, the sorrow that permeated Empress Li's phoenix face had mysteriously disappeared considerably.
The Empress's departure was naturally without saying goodbye to the eunuch. But the cold beauty's seemingly clear and teasing gaze as she left sent chills down the eunuch's spine, making his breath quicken.
Led by a palace maid, the short, hunched eunuch followed the tall and graceful Princess towards the bedroom.
The ambiguous space drew closer, and with each step, Princess Bei Jing's wildly beating heart pounded even more.
The gentle beauty couldn't help but doubt the correctness of her decision; was she right or wrong? What if this lecherous man forcibly sneaks into my bedroom at night?! Can I resist?! Will I resist?!
Two burning gazes slammed into the plump, fragrant buttocks two steps ahead. Recalling the noble and dignified beauty before him who had once moaned sweetly beneath him, the light in Bao Yu's eyes shone even brighter, and the desire at the corners of his mouth became unrestrained, filled with an aggressive intent!
A tangible light of desire burst forth, and the princess's mysterious heart, already marked by the wicked man, trembled violently. Though the sensitive beauty didn't turn around, she miraculously "saw" Bao Yu's unrestrained appearance!
No, she had to teach him a lesson, otherwise he might really break through the wall and steal her away tonight! Yes, she couldn't scold him, but glaring at him would do the trick!
Amidst the swirling thoughts of shyness, the Princess of Bei Jing successfully found a reason to interact with the little eunuch!
Princess Fengying's premonition was absolutely correct, and her actions were a precaution, but the reality was unbelievable and unimaginable... The erotic moment caused a massive surge of passion between the two!
Having made up her mind, Princess Fengying suddenly paused, but before she could turn around and glare at the scoundrel, the little eunuch rushed forward!
And it was only natural; the little eunuch, dazed by the princess's swaying figure, his mouth dry and head spinning from the waves of her hips, was caught off guard by the beauty's sudden stop. Unable to react in time, or rather, unwilling to react, he pressed himself tightly against her back.
Even more terrifying was that the little eunuch's shrunken member, filled with desire, stood erect, and his shrunken, thin body was perfectly positioned. As if guided by a divine hand, the little eunuch's large, burning member forcefully squeezed between the soft, alluring princess's legs!
Hmm... A passion higher than the sky and thicker than the earth erupted, a fierce thunderbolt igniting a fire on the ground!
Chapter Thirty-Seven: Re-entering the Palace to Enjoy the Scenery (5)
"Ah!" The scream was forcibly swallowed between the lips and tongue of the princess. The voluptuous beauty, suddenly attacked, felt a tremor in her valley. The heat of passion had already penetrated her clothes. Although there were layers of clothing, the delicate heart of the Princess of Beijing could still clearly feel the subtle changes in the forbidden area!
"Ah!" Boiling pleasure rolled in Bao Yu's throat. The guy who had unintentionally done such a feat reacted instantly. However, instead of retreating politely, he intensified his thrust and lift forward. The powerful force was like a thunderbolt, miraculously finding its target accurately in the darkness.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was behind him, how could the Second Master Bao waste such a heaven-sent opportunity?! Before the princess's frenzied heart could process her desire, the wicked young man had already reached forward and firmly grasped her voluptuous flesh through her clothes, then pulled her back forcefully.
"Mmm! No!" A barely perceptible moan escaped from the beautiful woman's lips, her slightly parted tongue releasing a fragrant aroma. An electric shock-like tingling sensation instantly made her body go limp, and the princess of Bei Jing collapsed into the wicked young man's arms!
Whoosh! Heaven and earth trembled, the wind seemed to rage; under the cover of the deep night, at the end of the procession weaving through the many doors, the noble princess reached her most beautiful moment under the wildness of the eunuch, Xiao Baozi.
The beautiful woman's alluring yet coy demeanor drove Baozi completely into a frenzy; the temptation of the affair erased all notions of what shouldn't be, and what was impossible!
"Ah! Baoyu...no...there's someone!" The princess's limbs suddenly stiffened, then her beautiful eyes and lips gaped open, as if pierced by an arrow, plunging her into the abyss of desire. The subtle change in the beauty didn't reveal much fear, after all, the two had already shared passionate memories. It was the sight of the palace maids not far ahead that filled her with shame and embarrassment!
Once the floodgates of desire are opened, the torrent of human nature is irresistible! Baoyu hadn't expected to be so lustful, but at this moment, his body felt like it was on fire, his boundless magical power flowing rapidly. The invincible Baoyu, unmatched in the Three Realms, once again used the power of the divine stone to engage in erotic activities!
"Hmph! This fellow is up to no good again!" Within the illusory realm. The Fairy Disenchantment witnessed the reincarnated monkey's wanton behavior for the first time. Helpless, the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms could only close her eyes and ears, ignoring everything. However, her mind, merged with the five-colored divine stone, couldn't erase the images churning in her mind like a 3D movie!
"Hmm... After a long while, the female bodhisattva, whose mind was still unsettled by chanting sutras and Buddhist prayers, lost her ethereal beauty of millennia. Frustrated, she sighed, 'If I had known this trial would be so 'terrifying,' I wouldn't have fought with Nuwa! If Nuwa saw the little one she created in this state, wouldn't she be angry too?!'"
"Sister, believe me, they can't see or hear!" A deep, hoarse voice whispered in her ear.
Bao Er Ye's figure instantly returned to its tall, imposing form; before his words even finished, several palace maids indeed began pacing in circles within the small space, their faces still calm and devoid of any fear!
"Ah! You... what do you want... to do?!" The Princess of Bei Jing finally felt an overwhelming panic. She had initially thought the wicked man would only try to gain a small advantage in this situation, but now even a fool would understand what he intended to do!
"Good sister, I want you! I miss you!" "These domineering and wild words, like a sledgehammer, shattered all of the princess's pretenses. The conflicted heart of the Princess of Bei Jing already held two figures: her lawfully wedded and loving husband, and her passionate lover, a chance encounter. These two figures were originally locked in a fierce struggle, evenly matched; but at this moment, under the surging tide of passion, all reason was swallowed up. Passion has no logic. The radiant, unsettling feeling the princess had never experienced with the Prince of Bei Jing made her like a moth drawn to a flame, even if only for a moment..." She longed to experience that glory herself!
Come! Let me be happy, even if it means death—it doesn't matter! This final thought made the dignified princess, torn by her inner demons, make her decision. She wanted to enjoy her radiant moment, but she couldn't forget her love for Prince Bei Jing. The guilt of betrayal and the temptation of passion led this beautiful woman to make a painful choice!
Happiness to the point of death, passion to the point of death! She, the dignified Princess Bei Jing, would first experience happiness and passion. Then, in guilt and self-reproach, she would walk towards her final resting place! This, too, could be considered atonement for her husband!
"Mmm!" Amidst the heavenly melody played with her life, the voluptuous princess suddenly turned and threw herself into Bao Yu's arms. Her pampered nature had miraculously transformed into agility and strength. Lifting one leg to encircle Bao Yu's waist, she impatiently began to unbutton his clothes!
Bao Yu was slightly taken aback, but his initial surprise was instantly consumed by the rapidly rising flames of passion. He was wildly excited by the initiative of his beloved, and her undergarments beneath her long skirt were torn to shreds in a few moments!
"Bao Yu, come on, come in hard!" The earth-shattering passion needed no prelude; the princess, wholeheartedly devoted to the flames of true love, had barely finished speaking when she bit down hard on Bao Yu's shoulder.
The raging lust left Bao Yu no time to consider the beauty's unusual behavior. His erection reached up, one hand encircling her waist, the other lifting her raised leg. His powerful member tore through the air, inch by inch, towards his dream's precious object of love!
"Oh!" Brilliant fireworks illuminated the sky, and a deafening thunderclap was about to explode!
The arrow was nocked, the force was gathered, and everything awaited only the powerful push of passion; the already lightly touched love would descend from the heavens!
Unable to contain himself, Bao Erye roared like a tiger. Just as his boiling blood propelled him forward, the princess bit his shoulder again. A thousand emotions and ten thousand sorrows transformed into two bitter tears, a mixture of joy and anguish, silently falling!
Wait! Two clear tears falling into the raging fire—logically, tears far removed from even a "cup of water" should not extinguish the raging inferno. But a miraculous change occurred. Under Bao Erye's mysterious perception, and amidst the tender intertwining of their hearts, it happened naturally!
The mighty sword of passion suddenly halted; the galloping horses stopped in an instant. Bao Erye, forced to retreat, felt a sharp pain in his heart. The two clear tears of the beauty, like dewdrops falling from a willow branch, instantly extinguished the raging fire.
Boundless desires faded in Baoyu's tenderness. Seeing the beauty's heart, his aggressive domineering nature transformed into genuine affection. Before the princess's astonished face, he gently kissed her, his deep, heavy words revealing boundless heartache, "Sister, I want your body, but I want your heart even more!"
Before the words were finished, Baoyu's will mysteriously dissipated the barrier, leaving the palace maids momentarily stunned. They quickly regained their senses and continued forward.
"Good sister, let's follow!" The thin eunuch's face remained sincere, his heartfelt emotions washing over them like waves.
"Yes!" Tears still flowed uncontrollably. The beauty's already troubled heart was even more chaotic. While relief dominated her emotions, a lingering sense of loss and resentment was impossible to ignore!
Women, this is what women are like! Which is more important, life or love?! Passion or chastity, what would you choose?!
As the night wind blew erratically, Bao Er Ye's heart was in turmoil. Even this usually upright man felt a deep sense of loss. Yet, he felt no regret! He wasn't a beast driven solely by lust. What pleasure could there be in something that couldn't ignite love with the heart? What difference was there between that and sleeping with a sow?
Perhaps he, Bao Er Ye, was a truly, utterly, and utterly shameless lecher. Only such a lecher would pursue complete possession. Physical pleasure was merely a skill; conquering the heart of a beautiful and intelligent woman was the ultimate power, the most exquisite pleasure!
Under the cover of night, the returning Bao Er Ye gently knocked on the door of the Princess of Bei Jing's bedroom.
In the dead of night, a lone man and woman—such a scene was bound to stir the imagination. Unfortunately, the beautiful woman, burdened by unresolved issues, kept the boundless spring to rest on the edge of reality.
"Sister, did you summon me back because you have something important to ask?" Faced with this situation, Bao Er Ye couldn't help but feel a slight pang of regret. But a deeper respect and affection grew within him for the beautiful woman's dignified nature!
"Hmm!" The flickering lamplight concealed the princess's turbulent emotions. She straightened her posture, cleared her throat, and nodded, saying, "Baoyu, what brings you to the palace in disguise? And is it also your intention for Tianyi to introduce you?"
"To be honest, sister, I have indeed come for the Empress!" The spark in Baoyu's eyes vanished as he spoke of business. After gathering his thoughts, he knew that without clarifying the matter, the princess wouldn't fully believe him.
Besides, there was no need to hide the complex and intertwined feelings between them.
"It's like this..." In a calm tone, Bao Erye recounted the massacre of the Li family, even presenting various clues and speculations. He concluded sincerely, "That's why I wanted to go to the palace to treat the Empress, and also to inform Her Majesty of this matter!"
"Ah! This matter is so complicated! No wonder we haven't been able to find any villains!" The Princess of Bei Jing was also a member of the Li family. Thinking of the dozens of her clansmen who had perished overnight, she couldn't help but sigh, her voice tinged with grief, "You're absolutely right. Although my sister and I don't have much of an impression of the deceased clansmen, we are all from the same ancestor. We must avenge our clansmen!"
The deaths of dozens of innocent people were no small matter. Even the carefree Bao Erye couldn't help but sigh with the Princess, secretly hating Zhao Quandi's cruelty even more!
"Baoyu, do you have any solid evidence that Zhao Quan and the others are the murderers?" The beautiful and voluptuous woman had been the Princess of Bei Jing for many years, and with her natural intelligence, she quickly grasped the crux of the matter. As long as her friend could help her find solid evidence, she would definitely find her sister immediately to avenge her clan!
A helpless bitter smile crept onto Baoyu's face. Unable to lie to the princess, he said, "These are all my guesses. They're probably pretty close, but I have no real evidence! It's understandable that you don't believe me, sister!"
"Hmph!" Before Baoyu could finish speaking, the Princess of Beijing snorted angrily. The gentle young woman wasn't angry at his baseless speculation, but at the distrust in his words. "If you think I won't believe you, why are you telling me all this?! Go back!"
Seeing that although the beauty's face was frosty, she didn't seem determined to send him away, Baoyu's bitter smile deepened. He sighed inwardly, "Alas! Women are truly unfathomable! You approach, they flee; you hide, they chase. So hard to understand!"
"I believe you!" Before Baoyu could apologize, the usually gentle princess forgave him. Her sincere words revealed a hint of tenderness. While she didn't exactly throw herself into his arms, her mood had improved considerably compared to the journey.
Silent gratitude shone from her eyes. A woman's gentle understanding is always the most powerful weapon against a man. These three simple words evoked a rapid increase in the weight of Bao Er Ye's true feelings!
A warm sentiment quietly permeated the space between them, constantly intersecting and returning in a trajectory deeply in harmony with the mysteries of heaven and earth, weaving a perfect web of love thread by thread. Though the speed was slow, it would one day completely ensnare them,
making it impossible for them to escape. The sudden change in atmosphere greatly distressed the beauty's heart. Unable to enjoy the tranquil beauty any longer, the princess hurriedly broke the awkward moment, "Sister's illness is really strange. Last time we..."
As the princess recounted her story in a captivating way, Bao Er Ye was speechless. As a self-taught monk, he only dared to assume it must be some kind of evil disease, but he had no concept of it whatsoever. He was even more astonished that such a terrifying and strange disease existed in the world!
"You mean the Empress doesn't want to be cured, but is worried that if she can't be cured, it will cause a plague?!" Baoyu couldn't help but gain a deeper understanding of the seemingly cold Empress, and admired her kind heart even more.
"Yes!" Princess Beijin nodded with great concern, then looked at Baoyu expectantly and said, "You're so amazing, you can even go to heaven and earth. Can you cure my sister's evil illness?!"
"This..." Having experienced smallpox, Baoyu dared not make any boasts. The shrewd young man didn't answer but asked instead, "Then why didn't the Empress get sick before? I can tell she's been sick for quite some time!" "
In the past, the pills concocted by the Imperial Preceptor Whirlwind could suppress it for a while, but the Imperial Preceptor has long since disappeared, and we don't know what happened!" The Princess was naturally very upset when she mentioned the Imperial Preceptor. In her heart, she didn't understand what a sorcerer was; as long as he could cure her sister, he was a good person!
Ugh… The culprit who scared away Little Whirlwind was right in front of her. Feeling uneasy, the guy had a sudden flash of inspiration: he didn't believe monsters could do anything good. Besides, how could mortals easily contract such a bizarre and evil illness!
The more Baoyu thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. His spirits lifted, and he looked at the Princess with slight nervousness, saying, “Sister, do you still have the old elixirs? If you do, that would be wonderful!” The exceptionally clever guy was quite certain that as long as the root cause was found, treating the illness wouldn't be difficult!
"The elixir is long gone!" The Princess Consort shattered Bao Yu's hopes without hesitation. Her expression froze, and the intelligent and beautiful woman, whose wisdom had been greatly enhanced after being transformed by the divine stone, seemed to understand something and asked repeatedly, "The elixir?! You mean there's something wrong with the elixir? Is that right?! Could the Imperial Preceptor really be a monster?! Then why would he harm my sister like this?!"
"Good sister, the Imperial Preceptor really is a monster. I saw it with my own eyes!" Bao Yu's firm words resonated deeply. Coupled with his extraordinary and living example, the Princess Consort of Bei Jing naturally believed in the existence of ghosts and gods!
"But I don't understand why the monster would do this!" His awkward smile severely damaged Bao Yu's image of omnipotence, but he still honestly responded to the Princess's expectant gaze, saying, "I don't understand the Empress's illness either. I can only observe and see!"
"What?! How could this be!" Princess Bei Jing refused to believe this cruel reality, and in her anxiety, she blurted out, crying out incessantly, "Bao Yu, you wicked man! Aren't you capable of ascending to heaven and descending to earth? How come you can't cure these demonic arts?!"
Sweat… ascending to heaven and descending to earth doesn't mean omnipotence! Bao Yu's rebuttal could only linger in his mind; wait, the guy who was secretly muttering to himself suddenly felt a tremor in his heart at the beauty's repeated lament, a faint light flickering among his myriad thoughts!
"Ascending to heaven… descending to earth?!" Bao Yu waved his hand, silencing the room. He racked his brains over these four words, his mysterious spirit racing through his mind at lightning speed, dispelling the fog with unwavering willpower to find that faint light!
"Ha, ha... I've got it!" A moment later, the extraordinary Second Master Bao slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his excitement finally wiping away the cold sweat and preserving his brilliant image!
Wasn't he supposed to be running errands for the beautiful Ke Qing in the underworld?! He knew the judges and kings of the underworld were all ancient ghosts, thousands of years old; asking them would surely give him an answer. With his boundless magical power, how could he possibly not find a cure?!
"Bao Yu, really?! What method is it?!" The voluptuous beauty's face was filled with disbelief and boundless joy. The princess, convinced the wicked man wouldn't lie to her, beamed with delight, a surge of pride welling up within her!
"Sister, this matter can't be explained in a moment, but you must believe me!" Second Master Bao's confident face was captivating as he smiled at the princess, saying, "Try to let me examine the Empress's illness more closely; that will give me even more confidence!"
The night deepened from darkness to mystery, and amidst the cheerful atmosphere, the man and woman chatted peacefully until dawn! For Bao Er Ye, it was truly a miracle!
Away from his beloved, he took a long, leisurely breath of fresh air; he realized that heart-to-heart communication could be just as beautiful!
"Little Bao, Little Bao..." The urgent, joyful calls tore through the last wisp of dawn's darkness. Before the sun had even risen, the Crown Princess, who hadn't slept well all night, rushed back excitedly; she had firmly remembered her two aunts' promise—the adorable little eunuch was now hers!
The Princess of Bei Jing, who had just stepped out of her room and hadn't even begun to enjoy the sweet morning air, was suddenly confronted by her son, who darted back like a rabbit. "Sister, you have to block him! I need to observe the Empress's condition; how can I join the Crown Princess in her antics?"
"When did you become so serious?!" The Princess's curious response greatly embarrassed the little eunuch. The beauty then changed her tone, her voice gentle and teasing, "Zhi'er is the second most troublesome person in the palace; I can't handle her! Aren't you always so capable? You even managed to deal with someone like Tianyi; why would you be afraid of Zhi'er?!"
A hint of jealousy made the cool morning breeze seem alluring and ambiguous. Unbeknownst to her, the beautiful young woman was finding it increasingly difficult to suppress the myriad emotions swirling in her heart!
"Heh, heh..." Besides scratching his head and chuckling foolishly, Baoyu dared not utter a single excuse. The shameless fellow responded evasively, "Good sister, you don't want me to be tormented by the Crown Princess, do you?!" "
Sigh!" Although the Princess was indignant, she couldn't resist the mischievous boy's soft pleas. The helpless beauty pondered for a moment, then helplessly spread her hands. "I can't help it. I promised Zhi'er yesterday, and she definitely won't let it go today; however, this girl loves novelties. If you can provide something, you can appease her for a while!"
"Novelties?!" The fake Baoyu from the future was an expert at this. A brilliant idea flashed into his mind. This way, he could not only win over the Crown Princess but also get closer to Empress Li—truly killing two birds with one stone! A brilliant plan! " Heh, heh..."
With a wave of his hand, Master Bao conjured something out of thin air as if by magic. Luckily, this fellow missed the old days and had specially made a beautiful deck of cards, thus giving birth to an entertainment that would sweep across the entire land of China!
"Good sister, I do have a way, but I need your help..." With a smug laugh, Master Bao lightly tossed the deck of cards in his hand, thus arousing the woman's innate playful instincts!
"Little Bao, Little Bao... Hey! What are you playing? You seem to be having so much fun!" When the Crown Princess rushed in, she saw this scene!
The little eunuch she had been searching for was sitting across a table from her aunt, the Princess, in the pavilion, both of them laughing so hard they were doubled over, seemingly enjoying themselves immensely and oblivious to everything else!
This guy... Humph! Upon seeing this, the Crown Princess was naturally furious. How dare this little eunuch not respond to her, even though she had been nagging him all night!
Before her anger could fully dissipate, the cheerful laughter of Xiao Baozi and her aunt surprised her greatly. The straightforward and lively Crown Princess couldn't help but ask, while quickening her pace towards the pavilion.
"Hehe...it's Zhi'er!" Although it was an act, the Princess of Bei Jing was genuinely amused by the naughty boy's game. Her genuine, radiant smile never stopped, and she said with a trembling voice, "Zhi'er, it's so much fun, come and play with me!"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Re-entering the Palace to Observe the Scenery (6)
"What is this thing?!" The Crown Princess's eyes were indeed filled with endless curiosity. She had never seen the thing in her aunt and Xiao Baozi's hands before!
"Your Highness, this is called 'playing cards.' I'm playing 'Fight the Bad Guys' with you!" Little Baozi's calm face was masking a fit of laughter. The Illusory Jade jumped in, tempting the eldest, "Hey, hey...good idea! From now on, the loser has to take off a piece of clothing, or maybe a kiss! Go for it, eldest! Win them all, strip them naked!"
"Fight the Bad Guys? What's that?! I've never heard of it before!" The Crown Princess's anger had completely dissipated, replaced by boundless curiosity that filled her youthful face.
"Heh, heh..." Little Baozi's smug smile infuriated the Crown Princess. The hateful eunuch, with his seductive tone, captivated Li Zhi's attention. "This is a novel game I learned by chance outside the palace. I heard it came from the West. Your Highness, let's play together, I'll teach you!" "
Hehe..." After a stick of incense had burned, the Crown Princess had returned to the table and was happily playing "Fight the Bad Guys" with Xiao Baozi and her aunt!
"Xiao Baozi, why are four cards of the same rank called a 'bomb'? What exactly is a 'bomb'?" Once Li Zhi's curiosity was unleashed, a barrage of questions made the little eunuch sweat. "Why are the bottom four rank cards 2 to 10, but the top four are called J, Q, K? Why not 11 to 13? And..."
"Bomb... bomb means... the most beautiful kind of firework!" Poor little Baozi dared not really explain what a bomb was, otherwise the lively girl's innocent question would probably drown him. After a difficult period of thought, the little eunuch finally found the closest description: a bomb is indeed the most beautiful firework—a firework so beautiful it's deadly!
"Wow! So there are fireworks like this? This year, I won't accept any gifts for the festival, except for big 'bombs'!" The Crown Princess's exclamation made Xiao Baozi both laugh and cry, secretly lamenting his own folly. "Xiao Baozi, remember, during the festival, you'd better get me a whole bunch of bombs. I'm going to fill the entire palace with them!"
"Crown Princess, it's your turn to play!" The little eunuch naturally diverted Li Zhi's attention, then shouted triumphantly, "A pair of 2s, single card, ha, ha... I won!"
"Hehe..." The dignified princess also had a childlike heart, secretly picking up a card from the table while the two were playing, and then happily retaliated, "Bomb, I'll bomb you, you big bad guy!"
"Ugh!" The smug Xiao Baozi instantly looked "terrified." But inside, he was overjoyed, pretending not to know the beauties' tricks and sighing, making the two beauties laugh like flowers and fragrant jade!
"Sigh! I'm tired, I don't want to play anymore!" Just as the Crown Princess was in high spirits, at the signal of a young eunuch, the Princess of Bei Jing feigned exhaustion, stretching her languid and alluring waist, and withdrew from the game by scattering the cards with her smooth, jade-like hands.
"Auntie, can we play a little longer? This is so much fun, can we play a little longer?" Just as Bao Yu and the Princess had predicted,
the Crown Princess persisted. "Second Auntie is really tired, Zhi'er, why don't you ask the palace maids to play with you?" Knowing the little maid's nature well, the Princess used a feigned retreat to advance. She deliberately reminded the Crown Princess to find other players.
"Hmph, it's better not to play at all than to play with them!" Li Zhi pouted her playful red lips and complained, "They always pretend to lose, it's not fun at all; sigh, if only there were more little Baozis!"
"Is that so!" The Princess of Bei Jing nodded her plump chin in agreement, then "suddenly" remembered a suitable candidate. "Zhi'er, why don't you go find your eldest aunt and let her join in the fun!"
"Alright!" Before the princess's words had even finished, the crown princess had already appeared out of nowhere, creating a fragrant breeze as she ran towards the main hall. In her excitement, she didn't even put down the playing cards in her hand!
"Sister, you're so kind!" The little eunuch gratefully grasped the princess's wrist with his "little" hand. The two sat close together across the table, and the burning light in his eyes could melt metal. It seemed to envelop the beautiful woman's figure!
"I'm only doing this for the Empress!" The princess's face immediately flushed crimson, her heart pounding like a deer. She had to hide her embarrassment with a cold voice, but the struggle of her jade-like hand was weak and powerless.
"This humble servant understands, this has nothing to do with this humble servant!" The little eunuch's words were quite cooperative, but he held the noble princess's soft, boneless jade hand tightly for a long time, and even deliberately bent his fingertips slightly, gently tracing the beauty's smooth palm.
Novel and exciting gadgets are an irresistible temptation for the leisurely class who have no worries about food and clothing, and futuristic entertainment is even more irresistible to noble men and women.
In a beautifully crafted courtyard, within a pavilion surrounded by rare flowers and exotic plants, a joyful battle is underway.
"A little 3!" The eunuch's cheerful words have unconsciously forgotten the high-pitched tone expected of a eunuch; the entertainment he's been away from for years makes him feel as if he's returned to the future.
"Hehe... I win! An ace!" The Crown Princess is indeed clever; under Xiao Baozi's thorough instruction, she has mastered the art, not allowing the Empress, her "enemy," any advantage.
"Sister, don't go!" The Princess of Bei Jing sits beside her sister; the two sisters work together in a fierce battle against two enemies, with the more experienced Princess acting as the strategist!
An invisible tension rose amidst cheers, and joyful moments slipped away unnoticed. After the Empress had practiced and refined her skills through repeated failures, the Princess even took the initiative to send the young eunuch off the throne and join the fray herself.
The three royal beauties were completely absorbed in their battle against the "bad guy," while the young eunuch, who had been standing quietly by the side, unknowingly moved closer to the Empress, occasionally offering pointers to the icy beauty who was experiencing such fun for the first time.
"A pair of kings, hehe... I won!" With a heartfelt laugh, the cold beauty finally achieved a resounding victory. Seeing her sister and niece's pained expressions only made her happier. She then turned to the young eunuch, saying with great enthusiasm, "Little Baozi, you gave me good pointers, let's continue!"
In this game, hierarchy blurred, and the boundaries between men and women and any wariness began to fade. The Empress, completely absorbed in the game, even ignored the young eunuch's bold stares.
The Crown Princess was even more excited than the Empress, and naturally had no time to notice the eunuch's rude behavior. Only the Princess, who knew the inside story, had a fleeting, almost imperceptible joy in her eyes, but at the same time, a faint unease arose deep in her heart; was the naughty boy really just observing his sister's illness by staring at her like that? Could he have some ulterior motive?!
"Second Aunt, how did you play your cards?! You let Eldest Aunt win another round!" Li Zhi's coquettish voice startled the Princess from her reverie. These past few rounds, the Empress had been on a roll, not only drawing cards every time but also winning big in every round. The Crown Princess, who had been losing repeatedly, was envious and jealous, blaming her companion for her poor card-playing manners.
"Uh!" The Princess of Bei Jing's wandering thoughts returned to their senses, and the beautiful and intelligent woman took the opportunity to say softly, "How about this, let Xiao Baozi play, I'll rest for a while and then go on the field!" Whether
it was for her sister's "safety" or because a hint of jealousy was brewing deep in her heart. In short, Princess Fengying simply didn't want the little eunuch to stay by the side of the stunningly beautiful Empress. He'd been observing her for so long; he should have noticed anything amiss with her. How could she let him continue?!
The little eunuch, of course, dared not disobey the Princess's order. He quietly and reluctantly left, his arm lingeringly brushing against the cold beauty's soft skin one last time.
"Thump!" During the pause in the game, all her normal senses returned. The little eunuch's unintentional touch had unexpectedly stirred a deep, melancholic chord within her heart!
Fortunately, the little eunuch had obediently sat in the Princess's seat. The Empress was able to suppress her blush in time, and her sister's gentle words dispelled the sudden surge of ambiguous warmth in her heart with sisterly affection!
The game was about feelings; after subtle shifts in emotions… Even the most interesting things gradually become boring; under the watchful eyes of the Princess, the oppressed Xiao Baozi could only stifle his witty jokes, while the burning sensation on the Empress's shoulder, which had been "scalded," lingered, making it difficult for the sensitive beauty to concentrate.
This subtle change also affected Li Zhi's mood. As noon approached, it was the straightforward Li Zhi who spoke first: "Let's stop playing. Let's have lunch, I'm hungry!" Before
the Empress and Princess could even smile, Li Zhi immediately revealed her true purpose, "Xiao Baozi. After lunch, you'll come back to the Crown Prince's Palace with me, and we'll play something else this afternoon!"
It seemed this girl hadn't forgotten her initial purpose! Indeed, she had been preoccupied with the secret of the "eunuch" all night; how could she easily forget it?!
"Alright! Little Baozi, you'll spend the day with the Crown Princess. Return to serve the Princess first thing tomorrow morning," the Empress made her decision before the young eunuch could respond. The thoughtful, aloof beauty then turned to the Princess and said, "Sister, what do you think?"
The Empress's meaningful gaze, like a searchlight, made the flustered Princess blush slightly. The seemingly calm beauty could only nod in agreement, "Sister, you are the mistress of the harem, of course the little eunuch should obey your orders!"
With a slight pause, the Princess changed her tone, turning to the uneasy boy in a subtly warning voice, "Little Baozi, you must keep the Crown Princess entertained. If anything happens to her, you'll be held responsible!"
"Am I that lecherous? Why is every woman so distrustful of me?!" Bao Erye inwardly cried out in indignation, but another righteous voice immediately responded, "You're a big lecher! Wouldn't you be tempted if a delicious lamb were placed in front of you?!"
Inside the bustling Iron Threshold Temple, the entire court had come to mourn the unfortunate passing of the imperial concubine. The concubine's funeral was, of course, far more extravagant and elaborate than Jia Jing's. Although the Jia family had made preparations, they were still caught up in a flurry of activity.
"Madam, Master is looking for you everywhere! Please come over as soon as possible!" Jia Qin, sweating profusely, hurriedly found Madam You among the group of women. Without giving her a chance to respond, he quickly ran off in another direction, not giving Madam You a chance to object!
"You'd better not go!" Madam You had been staying with Li Wan, Feng Jie, and others. Seeing her about to leave, Li Wan instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm.
“I’ll be right back. Everyone in the manor is in this temple now, Liang wouldn’t dare do anything out of line!” Sister You gratefully squeezed Li Wan’s wrist, then strode towards the door again.
Although Feng Jie and Li Wan disagreed with Sister You’s actions, what she said made perfect sense, and given their many duties, they gave up trying to persuade her further.
“Madam, something terrible has happened!” Before Sister You had even fully entered the room, Jia Zhen rushed up anxiously, his face filled with sorrow and worry. “A servant just came to report that Mother-in-law has suddenly fallen seriously ill and is on the verge of death. We must go back immediately. I have already informed the Old Madam!”
“Ah!” Before Jia Zhen finished speaking, Sister You instinctively turned pale, her delicate body swaying with fear!
"Madam, Madam..." Jia Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help the terrified and disoriented Madam You, then called out to Jia Qin, who was standing guard at the door, "Quickly prepare the sedan chair, let's go back to the manor!"
"Yes!" Jia Qin, who was already prepared, flicked his wrist, and a large sedan chair was already carried to the door.
"Madam, let me help you!" The old beast dragged his prey into the sedan chair with a look of pity, taking advantage of Madam You's still dazed state. He had already given the order, "Lift the sedan chair, go back at full speed!"
The soft sedan chair, shrouded in a cold wind, left the temple through the side gate. The servants guarding the gate, of course, dared not stop Master Zhen. The dazed and confused Madam You fell helplessly into the trap!
Just as the soft sedan chair shrouded in black mist was carried out of the temple gate, under the same sky, Little Baozi was also forced into the Crown Prince's Palace by the Crown Princess with a worried look on his face!
Although the Crown Prince was second only to the Emperor, he was still only the future Emperor. Therefore, the Crown Prince's Palace, located outside the Imperial Palace, was inferior to that of the inner city. Although it also
had vermilion walls and green tiles, and gold and silver rings, the pair of stone lions in front of the gate were somewhat weak in terms of imposing presence! "Greetings, Crown Princess!" Li Zhi hadn't even reached the backyard from the gate of the mansion when she was already greatly annoyed by the countless kneelings and greetings. The palace maids and eunuchs she encountered along the way were all extremely respectful. No wonder she ran outside all day long; this Crown Prince's Palace was just too unbearable!
"Crown Princess, why don't you abolish these rules?!" Xiao Baozi, feeling the same way, gently asked the impatient Li Zhi. The helplessness on her face lessened his own forced helplessness. He really was a gloating rogue!
"Sigh!" The usually straightforward Crown Princess suddenly became sentimental. Sullenly, she plucked a leaf and threw it away. "You think I don't want to? But the Crown Prince is just so particular about this stuff, it's so annoying!"
"Oh!" The little eunuch sighed sympathetically, a hint of mockery in his voice. So this is how you deal with a witch! I'll try it on Qiao'er when I get back! Heh, heh...
"Master, Master..." Two maids, one big and one small, whom Xiao Baozi had seen before, ran up to her, panting, and reported, "The Crown Prince is... is back, and he's looking everywhere for you, Master!"
"Hmm! I know!" The Crown Princess didn't seem particularly pleased. Instead, Xiao Baozi, completely bewildered, asked the two maids, "Have those two damned eunuchs who served the Crown Prince returned too?!"
The two maids paused slightly, then lowered their faces and timidly replied, "They returned with the Crown Prince and are currently massaging his legs!"
"Hmph!" Li Zhi's cold snort was loud and clear. She couldn't help but kick the flowerbed hard, sending petals flying, still not satisfied, cursing incessantly, "Damn eunuchs, damn eunuchs..."
Wait, what's going on?! Seeing the Crown Princess's hatred for eunuchs, Xiao Baozi, the favored "little eunuch," was utterly puzzled. This overly knowledgeable fellow couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, "If the Crown Princess hates eunuchs so much, why is she forcing me to play with her?! Does she intend to use me as a target for her anger, to cripple or kill me with the Ten Great Tortures?!"
Oh—how terrifying! The young eunuch, his thoughts racing, involuntarily trembled, his already small frame shrinking even further.
"Hehe..." The young palace maid, perhaps due to her young age, paid close attention to the boy, who appeared to be about her age. Seeing his current state, she guessed what had happened and, overcome with kindness, said sweetly to the Crown Princess, "Your Highness, look how scared you've made the boy! It's so funny!"
"Ah! Don't be afraid, boy! I don't hate you, I only hate those two damned eunuchs!" The Crown Princess regained her composure from her anger. She only felt affection for the adorable boy and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, you're different from those two damned eunuchs. How could I hate you?!"
"Alright, let's go!" After a brief delay, the Crown Princess slowly made her way to the study. The thought of the Crown Prince's intimate relationship with the two eunuchs filled her with inexplicable rage. She, as the Crown Princess, was inferior to two eunuchs—it was infuriating!
"Miss, what happened? You scared me to death!" Xiao Baozi deliberately slowed his pace, took the little palace maid's hand, and asked softly, his eyes, like cold stars, filled with confusion. "Who are these eunuchs you're talking about? Why does the Crown Princess hate them so much?"
The little palace maid was always called "little sister," and this was the first time she had been called "big sister." She was extremely excited and chattered away, even blurting out things she wouldn't normally dare to say. "Xiao Baozi, don't tell anyone I'm telling you, or I'll be punished!"
Before Xiao Baozi could even nod in agreement, the little palace maid had already revealed the "secret" that everyone in the Crown Prince's palace knew.
It turned out that the Crown Prince was also the Empress's only son. He was not competitive and tended to be timid and cowardly. He treated his cousin and wife, Li Zhi, with respect; however, their relationship was deteriorating day by day because the Crown Prince spent all his time with his two personal eunuchs, Xiao Jinzi and Xiao Yinzi, ignoring even when the Crown Princess summoned him, and even not returning to his palace at night.
All of this made the straightforward and lively Crown Princess hate the two eunuchs! Initially, resentment was brewing, but on the surface, things remained peaceful until one day the Crown Princess erupted in anger and punished the two eunuchs. Unexpectedly, the usually weak Crown Prince went berserk and argued with the Crown Princess, causing their relationship to deteriorate to its lowest point!
This…could it be…no way?! The instinctive thought surged through Bao Er Ye's mind, and the guy, who dared not delve deeper, almost vomited. His face paled, and he quickly stopped his terrible fantasies!
"We're here!" The maid's soft voice brought the little eunuch back to his senses. The kind girl gently reminded him, "You mustn't offend Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin, otherwise even the Crown Princess can't protect you!"
"Yes! Thank you!" Little Bao's heart trembled again, and he subconsciously quickened his pace towards the door. He wanted to see who these "Jin and Yin" were, and whether they were really as he had guessed!
"Your Majesty, I greet you!" At this moment, the Crown Princess appeared like a royal woman, dignified, serene, and composed. However, in Xiao Baozi's eyes, she seemed like a soulless shell!
"The Crown Prince is asleep. Crown Princess, please return! I will inform you when he wakes!"
A shrill voice caught Bao Er Ye's attention. He looked up and inwardly cried out, "My God—a transvestite!"
A young eunuch, his eyebrows painted and cheeks flushed, slightly raised his orchid-like fingers. His originally handsome face, however, was marred by the seductive makeup and arrogant demeanor, making him feel nauseous. What else could this be but a pair of twin boys and a dead rabbit?!
"Little Silver, how dare you speak to the Crown Princess like that?!" Another voice, sweet and coquettish, nearly shattered Bao Er Ye's soul. Little Gold, feigning displeasure, was even more indescribable than Little Silver. "But the Crown Prince really has just fallen asleep, Crown Princess, you should go back first!"
Perhaps Li Zhi was already used to such scenes, or perhaps the beautiful young woman had given up on the Crown Prince, she was too lazy to be angry under the two eunuchs' mockery. Seeing the Crown Prince still lying on the soft couch, the Crown Princess turned her face away and walked away.
The two palace maids, young and old, naturally followed closely behind. Bao Er Ye, his heart churning, wished he could fly away. As he turned the corner after leaving the room, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he was struck by a terrible "stray bullet."
“Hehe... Your Highness, get up now that the person is gone, it was so much fun!” Little Jinzi’s voice was so beautiful that Bao Erye wished he could become deaf!
“Hey, hey... Little darling, well done!” A strange, effeminate male voice was the Crown Prince’s voice without any need to guess.
“Your Highness, there’s a little eunuch by the Crown Princess’s side. He’s quite good-looking. Would you like me to get him for you to enjoy?!” Little Yinzi’s words were no longer stray bullets, but missiles and atomic bombs!
“Wow!” On the long corridor, Little Baozi could no longer bear it and rushed over the railing to vomit. “Damn it, it’s disgusting! Die!”
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Re-entering the Palace to Enjoy the Scenery (7)
“Ah!” A scream suddenly came from the Crown Prince’s study. Little Yinzi, whose stomach was in excruciating pain, stayed in bed for a month until Bao Erye completely forgot about the incident. Only then did he resume his “affectionate” life with the Crown Prince.
"Huh?!" The Crown Princess, seeing Xiao Baozi's pained state, wanted to comfort him, but before she could take a step, she was stopped in her tracks by a scream coming from the study. After a short while, having received the accurate information, the Crown Princess couldn't help but burst into laughter, her face beaming as she said to the little eunuch, "Xiao Baozi, you are truly my lucky star! I've only just entered the manor today and I've already encountered such good fortune! Come on, this Crown Princess will give you something delicious!"
"Stop!" A shrill voice came rushing from behind. Before Xiao Baozi could respond to the Crown Princess, the sickeningly sweet words of Xiao Jinzi had already ruined his mood!
"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you!" Little Jinzi acted arrogantly in front of the eunuch, completely disregarding the Crown Princess beside her. Pointing arrogantly at Xiao Baozi, she said, "From today onwards, you will serve the Crown Prince in place of Little Yinzi!"
"What?! Xiao Baozi is my person! What right do you have to boss me around?!" The Crown Princess trembled with anger, but the lesson from last time prevented her from erupting in fury. Even the palace maids and eunuchs dared not voice their opinions, seeing the two princes' "pillow partners" arguing so fiercely.
"Your Highness, this is the Crown Prince's opinion. I am merely relaying it!" With the Crown Prince as her "lover," Little Jinzi showed no respect for the "old hag" Crown Princess. How could the Crown Princess, no matter how powerful, be more powerful than the future Emperor?!
"You..." As expected, tears welled up in Li Zhi's eyes, her heart heavy with apprehension. This proud daughter of heaven couldn't believe that as the Crown Princess, she would be subjected to the wrath of a eunuch. It seemed absurd, yet the reality was unbelievable!
Her plea to her family had only earned her demands for endurance and for her to curry favor with the Crown Prince to secure more benefits for her family. Even the kind-hearted Empress was powerless to help. The Crown Prince had never listened to her since childhood, and had barely seen her since! Moreover, the Empress herself hadn't fared much better when she was the Crown Princess, so she could only advise Li Zhi to be patient, and more patient!
"Slap, slap..." A series of slaps resounded. The immense force swelled Xiao Jinzi's cheeks like a pig's head, her small, rabbit-like body spinning like a windmill. After a long while, she finally collapsed to the ground, dizzy and disoriented.
"Ah!" The intense pain finally jolted Xiao Jinzi awake. Looking closely, he saw it was the new eunuch who had struck him. The usually arrogant Xiao Jinzi was furious.
"Rebellion! Rebellion! You little bastard, how dare you hit me!" Humiliated, Xiao Jinzi used his rage to prop himself up, his shrill voice piercing the air, "I'll have the Crown Prince chop you down..."
"Slap!" Before Xiao Jinzi could finish, Xiao Baozi slapped him again, followed by a vicious kick that sent him flying.
"Ah... Someone! Grab him!" Xiao Jinzi screamed, his face covered in blood, the agonizing roar making his pig-like face appear even more grotesque.
"Who dares?! I, the Crown Princess, will chop him down!" At this crucial moment, Li Zhi stepped forward without hesitation. The emotions surging within her were far more profound than her beautiful face. The series of slaps from Xiao Baozi had opened her heart and shaken her deeply. Even with all her might, she couldn't regain her composure. All her grievances and resentments were soothed by the sound of the slaps.
In that instant, Xiao Baozi's small figure appeared so towering in Li Zhi's heart, so towering that it filled and satisfied her pure and innocent soul. There wasn't a single gap!
Good heavens! Someone had actually stood up for her! Although he was just a man who wasn't a real man, in Li Zhi's eyes and heart, this man was more manly than any other man in the world!
The deepest, most untouchable strings of her heart were plucked, and amidst a whirlwind of thoughts... The Crown Princess had only one thought—she had to protect Xiao Baozi no matter what, even if it meant turning against the Crown Prince and going against the expectations of the Li family. At worst, if things escalated, she would simply lose her position as Crown Princess!
Amidst the Crown Princess's stern rebuke, the eunuchs who had initially tried to curry favor with Xiao Jinzi quickly shrank back; not every eunuch had the Crown Prince's backing, and they didn't have two heads. They'd better just wait and see!
"You…you…" This time, it was Xiao Jinzi's turn to tremble with rage, her mouth bleeding. After a long while, the rabbit eunuch could only threaten in a hateful voice, "I'll tell the Crown Prince right now, we'll see!"
Li Zhi, upon hearing this, was not afraid but enraged. She hated this arrogant, abusive rabbit to the core. The innocent and lovely girl, though unaware of the Crown Prince and Xiao Jinzi's disgusting affair, instinctively regarded "Jin" and "Yin" as mortal enemies. A raging fire instantly rose in her heart, and her lips parted to lash out in rebuke.
"Bang!" Before the Crown Princess could utter a sound of resentment, Xiao Baozi once again preemptively and mercilessly kicked the annoying rabbit on the ground. This kick was much more powerful than the previous one, making Xiao Jinzi's internal organs churn and rendering him speechless.
"Pah!" Xiao Baozi spat out a mouthful of satisfying saliva. He had long wanted to teach this disgusting fellow a lesson, but unexpectedly, the rabbit had delivered itself to his doorstep. What a pleasant cooperation!
"You... the Crown Prince will exterminate your entire clan!" After a moment, Xiao Jinzi, whose pain had subsided slightly, was finally able to speak again. The terrified rabbit still hadn't forgotten its powerful backer.
"Really?!" To his surprise, Xiao Baozi was not afraid at all, but instead squatted down in front of him without any concern. "Grandpa doesn't want to kill you today, I'd rather not hit you than feel disgusted! *slap*!"
Xiao Baozi said he wouldn't hit him, but his hand couldn't help but slap Xiao Jinzi again. Then, with a disgusted look, he forcefully shook his hand that had hit him, saying, "Ugh—how disgusting, looks like I need to wash my hands properly!"
"I'm going to kill you! I'll skin you alive and break your bones!" Supported by the fire of shame and anger, Xiao Jinzi was physically hurt, but with the Crown Prince as his "lover," he gritted his teeth and looked fierce!
"Heh, heh..." Watching the pig's head howling on the ground, Xiao Baozi chuckled and waited for him to finish cursing before smugly mocking, "What?! You're not happy that I hit you?! You want to kill me—you don't deserve it!
Look at what I have here, Grandpa!"
A golden thread was threaded through the jade, and a jade tablet that made everyone in the palace worship and fear as if they had seen a ghost appeared before Xiao Jinzi's eyes!
With a series of soft rustling sounds, apart from the Crown Princess standing beside Xiao Baozi with a look of delighted surprise, all the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads! Being in the palace, they were masters of adapting to changing circumstances; now that Xiao Baozi had won a resounding victory, they naturally didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Ah!" Fear and anger mixed together, Xiao Jinzi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his rabbit head swaying as he fainted. He knew he had been beaten for nothing; that jade token was the little princess's divinely ordained treasure. Even the Emperor had to give way, let alone a lowly eunuch like him who relied on the Crown Prince! Since Xiao Baozi could produce the jade token, he must be one of the little princess's most trusted confidants; if he wanted to, he could probably kill him immediately without anyone daring to voice their grievances!
"Dead rabbit!" Xiao Baozi glared at the half-dead Xiao Jinzi one last time, then flicked his wrist to put the jade pendant into his pocket. Looking around at the kneeling palace maids and eunuchs, he finally saw for the first time the power Tianyi wielded in the palace!
Thinking of this, a warm feeling involuntarily welled up within him. It seemed that although Tianyi was usually arrogant and wild, she still harbored deep feelings for him!
"Crown Princess, let's go play!" The witty and humorous Xiao Baozi was back. His playful smile gently awakened the dazed Crown Princess, as if the domineering, wild, and spirited little eunuch had never existed.
"Uh! Okay!" The stunned Li Zhi's chaotic thoughts were not easily calmed. Just a moment ago, Xiao Baozi had almost made her forget everything in the world, and even more so, forget that he was just a man who wasn't a man!
Only after the Crown Princess and her entourage had vanished without a trace did the eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly help the unconscious Xiao Jinzi up and rush towards the palace physician. However, their faces no longer held the usual fawning and obsequiousness.
"Xiao Baozi..." A refreshing spring breeze brushed her face, and Li Zhiqian, now fully awake, suddenly paused. Her beautiful face turned grave as she looked at the young eunuch behind her.
"Your Highness, no need to thank me. It's what I should do!" Xiao Baozi humbly interrupted the Crown Princess, but naturally, he pricked up his ears, ready to receive the flattering praise.
"Who said I had to thank you?!" Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess's words carried a hint of hostility. Her tone hardened as she demanded, "Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Tianyi?! How did her treasure end up with you?! I knew her expression yesterday was too strange! Confess now! Or else you'll face severe torture!"
*Thump!* The illusory jade instantly collapsed to the ground, the pitiful creature crying out to the heavens, "What kind of world is this?! Being a good person—it's really hard! Help!" "
Little Baozi, you haven't answered the question I asked you last time." After a series of accusations, and with the little eunuch's pitiful pleas for mercy, the Crown Princess finally gave up questioning him. Her tone shifted, making Little Baozi's heart pound wildly. "How exactly do eunuchs become men who aren't men? And how do they find wives?"
Ugh… this girl hasn't forgotten that! Baoyu never expected the Crown Princess to bring up the same old topic again. His previously forgotten malice suddenly resurfaced with boundless energy. His illusory Baoyu eyes flashed into existence. "Eldest brother! This isn't what we wanted! Why don't you satisfy the Crown Princess's thirst for knowledge?! Heh, heh... Dear eldest brother, can you really stand it?!"
Within his own mind, the righteous and stern Baoyu bravely and loudly responded, "Hmph! Of course I can stand it—yeah right! Charge! Go!"
"Crown Princess, do you really want to know this?!" At this moment, Baoyu's thin figure became solemn and dignified, like a warrior about to bravely face execution.
"Mmm!" Li Zhi nodded vigorously in response to the boisterous atmosphere. Her initial curiosity stemmed from her inability to understand why the Crown Prince favored eunuchs, but after Xiao Baozi's beating of Xiao Jinzi, the Crown Princess had long forgotten her original purpose. Now, she was driven only by instinctive curiosity and the immense amusement aroused by Xiao Baozi's serious demeanor. It was as if this was no longer a question-and-answer session, but a thoroughly enjoyable game.
"You really want to know?" The eunuch's aura intensified, his solemn face masking a fiery heart brimming with a mixture of amusement and desire.
"Really!" Li Zhi nodded without hesitation, waving her hand firmly to express her eagerness. The Crown Princess herself was unaware that, from some point onward, this adorable little eunuch had unknowingly captured her heart, influencing her emotions. "
I really have to tell you!" A last shred of reason compelled Baozi to insincerely remind the Crown Princess. Unable to stop his wicked intentions, he only hoped his prey would leave the danger on its own!
Unfortunately, his good intentions were completely trampled on by the Crown Princess. Li Zhi, ungrateful and disdainful, responded with a large eye roll, her slender, white fingers playfully poking the little eunuch's forehead as she scolded, "You brat, hurry up and speak!
Stop nagging!"
To outsiders, what could this scene be but flirting?!
"I...I'd better not speak," the little eunuch stammered, his spirits lifting slightly, but his chest quickly deflated. With a worried expression, he cautiously added, "I told you, if I'm disrespectful, you can't get angry or punish me!"
"Sigh! You're not acting like a man at all! Just say it, I won't be angry!" the Crown Princess blurted out involuntarily. Perhaps she had truly forgotten that the little eunuch was not a real man; only after the words left her mouth did she realize their inappropriateness, and a strange ache gripped her heart. The beautiful woman's face showed genuine panic. "Little Baozi, that's not what I meant! You're actually a man... no, you're not a man... I mean, although you're not a man in the conventional sense, I think you're more like a man than a normal man, so you're no longer a man who isn't a man!"
Her words were almost incoherent, and the Crown Princess's sincere eyes revealed a hint of apology.
Looking expectantly at Little Baozi, this man who wasn't a man, she softly asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Was this revenge?! This was definitely retaliation! Little Baozi, bewildered by the Crown Princess's words, was extremely frustrated. This was the same trick he had used to tease Li Zhi yesterday, but he had failed. The unsuspecting beauty, however, had succeeded!
"This... I think I understand!" Xiao Baozi's embarrassed smile turned red and his ears burned. He steeled himself and returned to the main topic, "I said, eunuchs are..."
The Crown Princess's heart skipped a beat, and she involuntarily pricked up her bright ears, trying to hear clearly, but Xiao Baozi stopped abruptly once again.
"Alas! Your Highness, I can't explain it clearly right now. Let's go to the room and think of something else!" Bao Erye finally bravely wielded his hoe and began digging the beautiful trap, sweating profusely but enjoying it.
"Alright! Now you can finally say it!" The Crown Princess's bedroom was elegant and exquisite, with a faint fragrance, but it lacked the alluring spring colors of a married woman, let alone the proper masculine scent.
"Your Highness. The reason why eunuchs become eunuchs from men is because... because..." Although he had made up his mind, and Bao Erye's skin was notoriously thick, the rogue realized at this moment that some things were not as easy as he had imagined; after several pauses... Xiao Baozi finally mustered his courage and shouted quickly, "Because eunuchs are castrated when they enter the palace!"
"I know eunuchs are castrated, but I just don't understand what '阄' means, you idiot!" The Crown Princess rolled her bright eyes, making a new judgment about Xiao Baozi's character!
Hmm…it seems I have to explain! Xiao Baozi blurted out, "Castration means that a man's genitals are cut off when he enters the palace!"
"That thing?! What does 'that thing' mean? I don't see you missing anything!!" The lovely Crown Princess's dissatisfaction intensified, and she added angrily, "You're really stupid, how come you can never explain it clearly!"
Ugh... Who's the idiot here?! I didn't lack anything! The mocked Baoyu was sweating profusely. To uphold his manly dignity, he had to patiently coax this incredibly stupid young woman: "That thing is the thing you had when you and the Crown Prince consummated your marriage, the thing that grows between the Crown Prince's legs!"
Whew! The illusory Baoyu let out a long sigh of relief. He never thought he'd feel this way. It seems "knowledge" really is too important!
"Hmph! You idiot," before Baoyu could even finish his sigh of relief, the Crown Princess unexpectedly waved her disdainful hand, leaving him dumbfounded and standing there in shock. "What do you mean by 'thing'? I've never seen the Crown Prince with anything like that. Be smart, explain yourself clearly again, don't try to fool me! Otherwise... hmph!"
Wow, wow, wow... No way, is that possible? Good heavens!
A colossal wave instantly swept through Bao Er Ye's mind, the roaring spray transforming into terrifying arrows in the hurricane, easily piercing through Bao Er Ye's calm barrier. The shocked man could only stare wide-eyed and his jaw shrunk, showing no other reaction!
"Hey, hey, hey—" The Crown Princess first called softly, then simply shouted into his ear, finally waking the strange little Bao Zi up, "Tell me, don't try to play dumb and get away with it!"
"You...you didn't consummate your marriage?" His trembling voice barely suppressed his boundless curiosity. Although men weren't born gossipy, they still had an endless interest in this kind of thing.
"Why didn't we consummate our marriage?! I'm the Crown Princess chosen by the Empress!" Li Zhi proudly puffed out her chest at first, but then quickly added sullenly, "But I'd rather not be this annoying Crown Princess! But my whole family is forcing me, sigh!"
Bao Er Ye, only interested in the first part, asked eagerly, "How did you consummate your marriage?"
"We just drank the nuptial wine and went to bed. Doesn't that count as a consummation?!" The Crown Princess's attention was also drawn in. Her girlish instincts made her feel that something was missing—after all, she had teased the palace's female tutor before her wedding!
"Didn't you take off your clothes before going to bed?!" Bao Er Ye's hoarse voice disregarded etiquette, directly hitting the nail on the head!
"Why did we take off our clothes?! The Crown Prince went to find the eunuch in the middle of the night!" With an invisible boom, the Crown Princess casually revealed a huge secret, instantly turning Bao Er Ye into a statue again!
"This...this Crown Prince...could he...still be...a young girl?!"
"Little Baozi, what's wrong with you?! Always so silly!" The Crown Princess, her straightforward nature unable to bear the eunuch's dazed expression, blurted out, "Would you understand if I took off my clothes?! And is there anything wrong with my wedding night?!" "
Yes!" The dazed Little Baozi, his thoughts still churning, casually answered Li Zhi's question, unaware of the terrifying consequences his careless reply would bring!
"Oh, is that so! Hehe..." Amidst her sweet laughter, the unrestrained Li Zhi suddenly grabbed the eunuch's collar. Already impatient with Little Baozi's muffled groans, the girl didn't even bother to greet him. Before Little Baozi could recover from his daze, his poor waistband had been ripped off by the Crown Princess. "Stop!
You can't do this!" The words of propriety echoed in the girl's mind. Driven by female instinct, Li Zhi's jade-like hands, which were peeling off his clothes, paused slightly, but only for a moment before resuming their swift and decisive movements.
"It's nothing! Little Baozi is just a eunuch, not a man!" The power of self-persuasion was so strong that the voice of reason vanished like a fleeting flower!
"Ah! Your Highness, what are you doing?! No!" When the cool spring breeze awakened Baozi, his wide eunuch robe had already fallen to the ground. The guy, wearing only his undergarments, was also caught in a battle between heaven and man. However, justice was defeated by passion in an instant. His resistance was limited to words. His joyful body cooperated with the Crown Princess's rough tearing in the boiling.
"Don't move! This is an order!" Li Zhi was like a cruel female demon, actually using the authority of her master to force the poor little eunuch not to resist. "This Crown Princess must see it. You have to obey whether you want to or not!"
"Ugh... Help! Rape!" The most sexually fortunate rape victim in the world raised his hands high and cried out to the sky in his heart. Unfortunately, the churning clouds in the sky only clapped and cheered, without any pity.
“Your Highness, this…you don’t need to take it off!” Helplessly, his clothes fluttered everywhere, and Bao Er Ye, who was only wearing his undergarments, involuntarily protected his last stronghold with his hands.
Chapter 40 Re-entering the Palace to Enjoy the Scenery (8)
“I’m not a eunuch, how am I going to explain this thing down there? It’s better not to give it away!”
In the midst of the critical situation, Bao Er Ye had a flash of inspiration and shouted, “Your Highness, it’s alright, it’s alright! This will make things clear!”
In his anxious words, Bao Er Ye took the opportunity to turn around and dodge, and sandwiched his already awakening treasure between his legs.
“Is that so?! Then tell me quickly!” Li Zhifang’s instinctive shyness had reached its limit. The truth needs to be taught by words and deeds, but some feelings are absolutely innate. If it weren’t for the inexplicable warm current suppressing her rational voice, she would have already given up.
"Hush!" Xiao Baozi let out a heavy breath, forcibly suppressing the surging tide of passion, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Men have something like a stick here, that's the mark of a man; but it was cut off when they entered the palace, so they became men who aren't men!" The little eunuch pointed to his own private parts as he spoke.
"Oh—" The Crown Princess's face and neck were already burning hot. The girl hurriedly used a drawn-out exclamation to cover up the "booming" sound in her heart at this moment, and with her limbs stiff, she managed to squeeze out a few words through her teeth, "So that's how it is! No wonder you don't have anything there, it was cut off, hee hee..."
"Tch! I'm the number one treasure in the world!" Feeling wronged, Xiao Baozi was very dissatisfied, and struggled so hard that he almost sprang out.
"Heh heh..." Xiao Baozi hurriedly used all his strength to clamp down on the disobedient foreign object, while at the same time using scratching his head and laughing to cover up the sparks rising in his eyes.
An unbelievable scene unfolded: the beautiful and charming royal lady was actually commenting on the half-naked man, and the two were discussing the most sensitive topic between men and women, yet there was no passionate interaction! This couldn't help but remind Bao Er Ye of future academic discussions on sex, and that he himself was the male body used for research!
"Little Baozi, you're so pitiful!" The Crown Princess curiously patted the little eunuch's shoulder, her face full of sympathy, but inwardly, Li Zhi was surging with excitement. This was only the first time in her life that she, the Crown Princess, had touched the naked skin of a man, and the electric-like tingling sensation quietly gave the young girl a lot of courage!
"Little Baozi, you're so thin, haven't you been eating anything good?" The Crown Princess became increasingly skilled and natural in "examining" the little eunuch's body, and when the constraints of etiquette were torn away, the curiosity of men and women towards the opposite sex was actually the same!
"This..." Xiao Baozi, caught between laughter and tears, felt a surge of bitterness. The familiar scene reminded him of when he was applying medicine to Qiao Jie'er. He realized how terrifying it felt to be groped! Was this some kind of karma?! Should he, like Qiao Jie'er, go further?!
Perhaps the eunuch's thin frame lacked the allure of masculine beauty, or perhaps the Crown Princess's shyness prevented her from continuing. Unable to find a flaw, she feigned nonchalance, stretching her limbs, then changed the subject, asking curiously again, "Xiao Baozi, what about the bridal chamber? Why can't you have a bridal chamber but still get wives?"
"Ah!" The eunuch, who was dressing, suddenly dropped the clothes he had just picked up. Startled, his anger surged, rising to his head in a flash; He didn't care anymore... he couldn't take it... to hell with all that right and wrong!
With a slight shift in his thoughts, the young eunuch, his eyes burning with desire, straightened up and kicked his clothes far away. Driven by lust, he hoarsely replied, "Because eunuchs have their manhood cut off, they can't consummate their marriage; and a eunuch's wife is just for decoration at home. Eunuchs can't consummate their marriage like normal couples!" "
But...but..." The Crown Princess initially feigned amusement, but then immediately thought of herself. The Crown Prince wasn't a eunuch. So why was her situation the same? Wasn't she just a vase placed in the Crown Prince's palace?!
Seeing the Crown Princess hesitate and speak haltingly, Xiao Baozi, who had already made up his mind, quickly interjected, "Does the Crown Princess want to ask how normal couples consummate their marriage?"
"Boom!" A loud bang followed, and Li Zhi's mind went blank for a moment. After a long while, she nodded shyly. She had already asked so many questions, so what difference would one last question make, even though she instinctively felt that this question was extremely serious. But emboldened by a strange warmth she felt for Xiao Baozi, she mustered her courage.
"This problem...it's difficult to explain," Xiao Baozi feigned difficulty again, pausing for a moment before turning to the Crown Princess. "To explain clearly, I need your cooperation, Crown Princess!"
"Alright, no problem!" The space between them subtly became intimately heated. The Crown Princess, having hardened her heart, was fearless in her pursuit of the "truth," unwilling to live her life in such ignorance!
"Ah! Xiao Baozi, what are you doing? Why are you taking off my clothes?!" Li Zhi jumped back like a startled rabbit, staring in astonishment at the groping eunuch. She knew the principle of propriety between men and women!
"Didn't you promise to cooperate? To know what a wedding night is, of course you have to take off your clothes!" the lecherous wolf complained pitifully to the little rabbit. It was as if he were saying, "How could you escape my bite!"
"Is that so!" The Crown Princess's heart pounded wildly. Her thoughts raced, and she secretly pondered, "Xiao Baozi is just a eunuch, not a man. It's no big deal! "
Before the Crown Princess could even nod in agreement, Xiao Baozi's large hands were already roaming swiftly over her delicate body. It was less about undressing and more about caressing!
"Xiao Baozi, why are you undressing like this... ah... don't touch there, it hurts... um... be gentle...
be gentle!" Amidst the Crown Princess's persistent, coquettish moans, the young girl's delicate, youthful body was gradually imprinted on Baozi's heart!
Spring breezes sang, passion burned, and boiling blood roared in the sea of love and desire.
"Crown Princess, I'll teach you how to consummate the marriage!" The flames had dried Xiao Baozi's throat, and his hoarse voice whispered seductively in her ear.
"Just say it, you don't need to get so close!" Li Zhi instinctively trembled, instinctively backing away, her frantic hands blocking the eunuch's unrestrained advances!
"Didn't I say before? This matter can only be explained through actions!" The eunuch, his desire surging, pressed closer, the alluring trap already dug, now it was just a matter of how to deliver the final blow to his prey!
The Crown Princess's heart pounded like thunder, she barely heard Xiao Baozi's words, as if he were both far away and close at hand, a strange feeling that left her with
no effective resistance other than passively blocking Xiao Baozi's hands.
"Ugh..." Prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, especially with the invincible offensive of the world's number one lecher. Li Zhi found an opening and Xiao Baozi seized the opportunity, his large hands moving nimbly like a dragon entering the sea, tearing off the Crown Princess's last bra and bodice in one swift motion, and then lightly brushing her tender pink nipples.
"Ah!" Without hesitation, the Crown Princess raised her jade-like hand to cover her exposed breasts, protecting her delicate, pert peaks. Xiao Baozi, however, laughed triumphantly; his feint had finally succeeded. His swift hand flashed and hooked onto his true target—the beauty's thin undergarments!
"Ah! No… I don't want to hear it!" Li Zhi cried out in alarm, her jade-like face instantly contorted with fear, then enveloped in a blush of endless embarrassment. But no matter how instinctively she tried to protect herself, her heart, brimming with emotion, could not muster any real resentment!
Xiao Baozi, now silent, was indeed bold. Ignoring his master's orders, the young eunuch moved with surprising speed, his small but burning body lunging towards the naked beauty.
"Ah!" Li Zhi's cry of alarm, whether from sheer fear or a subtle internal struggle, was merely a wave of resistance that lingered around them. Even the palace maids standing guard outside the gate were unaware.
The young girl's breasts were firm and delicate, lacking the fullness and softness of a full-figured woman, but the radiant glow of youth, like jewels, was captivating. Her glistening, rosy nipples stood proudly in the wind, rising and falling with the Crown Princess's rapid, orchid-like breath. Her smooth, slender breasts, without an ounce of excess fat, accentuated her small waist with alluring curves, highlighting the pert, rounded shape of
her buttocks. The taut flesh, tense with tension, proudly proclaimed to Xiao Baozi its delicate, smooth, and jade-like flesh. Her long, jade-like legs accentuated her lively figure, and a light veil of pubic hair concealed her alluring valley. Her enchanting jade gate was glimpsed intermittently as Li Zhi's legs moved, the tightly closed crevice dutifully protecting the girl's last forbidden zone, the tight closure proudly proclaiming Li Zhi's precious virginity!
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind in an instant; Bao Er Ye was ecstatic. An uncontrollable hand, carrying a raging inferno of passion, burned into the beautiful young woman's heart.
"Ah!" Li Zhi's heart was in unprecedented turmoil, so much so that she almost completely forgot to sternly stop the eunuch's insolent behavior. She had never imagined that the bridal chamber would be so "terrifying," yet this terror prevented her from feeling the melancholy, loneliness, emptiness, and discomfort she expected on her wedding night. How strange!
"Little treasure, it hurts!" Helpless, Li Zhi tried to protect her breasts with both hands, but could not safeguard her vulva; she tried to protect her vulva with one hand, but could not stop the full bloom of her breasts. The beauty's hands roamed rapidly between her three points, but could not escape the eunuch's large hand, which was like a dagger. In a moment of desperation, the man, driven by lust, grabbed her trembling breasts hard. The girl's chaste nipples suffered such a blow for the first time in her life, leaving her with no way out but pain, reminding the Crown Princess of her terrible predicament.
"Ah!" A deep, muffled growl lingered in Xiao Baozi's throat. The Crown Princess's chaste reaction only fueled his frenzied desire, while simultaneously evoking tender affection in return. His wild kneading transformed into gentle caresses and light, fleeting touches. The
Crown Princess kept retreating, her fiery breath like waves of passion, the warm spray slowly pushing them to the edge of the bed. With nowhere left to retreat, the Crown Princess's beautiful, dazed eyes hadn't even had time to reveal fear before the increasingly tall and imposing Baozi pressed her down onto the quilt.
The enchanting breeze and the hazy spring light danced together; nothing could stop the boundless spring's arrival.
The situation was critical, the world seemed to crumble in an instant, but Baozi, unusually, stopped all movement at this moment. He simply cupped the Crown Princess's jade-like face in his hands, gazing quietly and passionately into her panicked, dazed, anxious, and passionate eyes!
The tender gaze seemed even more gentle in the stillness. A long, drawn-out eye contact gradually dispelled the panic and unease in Li Zhi's eyes, and her mind returned to normal. A strange thought arose in the heart, stirred by the lingering emotions within her. "
So, Xiao Baozi is this handsome! He's much more pleasing to the eye than the Crown Prince!" she thought. "It's said that many concubines in the palace have those 'fake husband' relationships with their close eunuchs. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems I've also fallen for this little eunuch! Fine, I'll let Xiao Baozi be my fake husband!"
The Crown Princess, her mind slightly shifted, broke the silence. Her slender, jade-like hands, brimming with unrestrained passion, wrapped around the little eunuch's shoulders and back. Her instinctive, clumsy movements yielded a wild and earth-shattering experience!
"Mmm!" Xiao Baozi, receiving this hint, was naturally overjoyed and launched an attack with both his mouth and hands without hesitation. His powerful lips swiftly sealed the beauty's mouth, while his red tongue relentlessly broke through all barriers, penetrating the core. After a fierce battle, it swept over every corner of Li Zhi's lips, finally completely capturing her delicate tongue!
"Boom!" A thunderclap suddenly erupted from the clear sky, a continuous barrage of thunder and lightning. The Crown Princess, who had never experienced such intoxicating pleasure, felt a jolt in her mind, an irresistible electric shock-like numbness. The unfamiliar sensation flowing through her heart made her instantly forget everything in the world, with only one thought swirling in her mind—this is what it feels like…this is so magical. So Xiao Baozi is really this amazing!
At the same time, Xiao Baozi's large hands, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, also displayed their power, his strong fingers shaping the girl's breasts into various erotic forms.
The young eunuch pressed his warm palm downwards, causing the girl's small, bright red breasts to indent inwards. His passionate hand then squeezed and pressed upwards, quickly pulling the flesh back, revealing a breathtakingly alluring bosom.
"Ah!" How could Li Zhi, new to the battlefield, withstand such provocation! Her slender, shapely body throbbed with heat, her limbs stiffening as she forcefully thrust her legs forward!
Bao Er Ye, unaware that his last garment had been removed, and with Li Zhi's eyes glazed, constantly subjected to the waves of desire, was completely unresponsive to the sudden appearance of the eunuch's manhood. Seeing that
the Crown Princess was too delicate to withstand excessive caresses, Bao Er Ye, with pity, could only suppress the tempting urge to taste her sweet nectar, and with a slight force, gently parted Li Zhi's legs. He then leaned down and whispered seductively in her ear, "Your Highness, the final step in the bridal chamber is to use a man's thing to enter here. After our lovemaking, we'll become a true husband and wife!" The
"clumsy" Li Zhi instantly understood the eunuch's meaning. A thousand thoughts surged within her, a mixture of relief and disappointment. Relief because Xiao Baozi was a eunuch. Disappointment, however, stemmed from the same reason.
"Your Highness, let me demonstrate for you!" This unusual intimacy prevented Bao Er Ye from immediately thrusting in.
Demonstrate! How could he demonstrate?! A thousand doubts and curiosity, mixed with shyness and panic, arose spontaneously. The Crown Princess forced herself to stop looking down, her flushed body exuding a sweet fragrance. The unique youthful aura of a young girl was even more alluring and captivating in the enchanting atmosphere.
After a slight pause, Xiao Baozi gently sucked on Li Zhi's glistening earlobe, then softly described how he would "demonstrate" in infinitely seductive words, followed by concrete "explanations" with his fingers.
"Mmm!" A tingling, aching sensation coursed through her. The waves of pleasure she felt now were incomparable to anything she had experienced before!
Li Zhi felt that the forbidden zone she usually wouldn't dare touch even during her baths was now being kneaded and squeezed in the hands of the little eunuch. "Tears" of "uncomfort" flowed down her face amidst her boundless grievance, an attempt to soften the arrogant villain's heart.
The noble Crown Princess moaned and writhed under his caresses, and the pleasure of conquest in Xiao Baozi's heart surged like a raging torrent.
The shimmering, translucent pearls shimmered with iridescent light and exuded a delicate fragrance, as if saying to Xiao Baozi, "Come on, you're not a real man, I'm not afraid of you, what can you do to this Crown Princess?!"
"Ah!" An indignant roar echoed in her heart. How could the ever-domineering Xiao Baozi tolerate such contempt?! His anger flared, he vowed to show the Crown Princess his true power!
A furious hand suddenly covered the valley, its thick, warm palm squeezing and ravaging the girl's budding feelings.
"Oh!" The Crown Princess's heart, surging with intense heat, instantly transformed into a tingling pleasure. The girl's body writhed without slowing down as the discomfort turned to pleasure. With a cry of joy, the Crown Princess subconsciously lifted her buttocks, automatically seeking deeper and wider boundless joy!
A hazy halo blurred Li Zhi's beautiful eyes, and an overwhelming pleasure easily filled the sea of her heart. The fire in the eyes of the little treasure, who had been trying to restrain himself, suddenly shot up. The time was ripe; the foreplay should end, and the most beautiful moment had arrived!
The eager foreign object pressed against the finger, pressing towards the valley. The impatient distance vanished in an instant, and the spring-dripping finger suddenly withdrew. The Pokémon immediately filled in without hesitation. Such perfect coordination was like deceiving the heavens. Li Zhi, groaning with passion, was completely unaware of the approaching enemy.
"Huh. Why are Xiao Baozi's fingers so...?!" A moment later, a woman's innate instincts caused Li Zhiwei's slightly closed eyelids to tremble rapidly. Her sensitive heart instinctively felt a sense of foreboding. What could possibly give such a strange feeling?! This couldn't possibly be Xiao Baozi's fingers!
Who was Xiao Baozi? He was the incredibly intelligent and invincible Second Master Bao. The subtle changes in the beautiful woman's legs wrapped around her waist hadn't escaped his notice. Seeing the situation was dire, the fake eunuch dared not delay any longer. He knew he was just a fictitious eunuch; if the Crown Princess suddenly regained her senses and turned hostile, this wonderful atmosphere would become a catastrophe.
Things had come to this. The only way now was to strike at the heart of the matter, to completely conquer the Crown Princess's body and soul, and thus successfully resolve the fatal flaw caused by his own desires!
At this thought, Bao Er Ye's body stiffened, then he leisurely regained his upright posture. The invincible "Little Bao Yu," seeing the critical situation, before the beauty could even utter a sound of protest, his swollen, almost bursting member suddenly transformed the long pain into a short, sharp one, simultaneously pressing his tender lips and tongue deeply into the Crown Princess's mouth.
"Mmm..." The beauty's scream was forcibly silenced between their lips. The muffled groans made Bao Er Ye boast of his own brilliance.
Li Zhi's beautiful eyes widened to their maximum, boundless terror replacing her previous confusion. At this moment, how could she not understand?! "Heavens! I've been tricked by Little Bao! I've actually been tricked by this incredibly audacious little eunuch! Mmm... no, he's not a eunuch, how could a eunuch have a man's thing?!" That
damned Little Bao! Li Zhi's thoughts shifted, and anger flared within her. She was furious that Xiao Baozi dared to deceive her. Her jade-like hand clenched into a fist, and she forcefully pounded his suddenly masculine body. Not only that, but for a moment, tears
inexplicably streamed down Li Zhi's face. The beauty even opened her teeth and bit down hard on the brat's shoulder. "Ah!" Even with Baozi's thick skin, he couldn't withstand the girl's furious retaliation, and the man winced in pain, utterly frustrated. He secretly regretted using his magic to alleviate the pain of the beauty's fragile virginity being torn.
Alas! Kindness is never rewarded! This woman repays kindness with enmity; it's truly intolerable!
"Ah... I grow, I grow longer, I grow as hard as I can!" The greatly oppressed Xiao Baozi finally gained his freedom. He regained his majestic and unrestrained spirit!
"Ah..." The sudden change greatly displeased the Crown Princess. She involuntarily blurted out, "You brat, you damned eunuch, what are you doing?!"
Although Li Zhi was furious and kicking, the Crown Princess, whether in a moment of confusion or something else, completely forgot to make Xiao Baozi withdraw from her body, and even more so, forgot to ruthlessly chop off his head!
"Heh, heh..." Bao Er Ye, unperturbed by Li Zhi's questioning, instead chuckled wickedly and teased, "Crown Princess, this is what you asked me to help you with!"
"You little eunuch, this Crown Princess is going to teach you a lesson!" At this moment, the Crown Princess finally remembered that she should punish Xiao Baozi, but her stern words had no effect on her alluring face and trembling tone; instead, they only made Xiao Baozi push even more violently!
Faced with the threat of the noble Crown Princess, the little eunuch remained unyielding, fearlessly launching a fierce "rebellion." "Crown Princess, will you still cut off this little eunuch's head?!"
Amidst the playful banter, Li Zhi, adrift on the waves, could only manage a broken retort: "Yes... ah... I'll cut off your... ah... head!"
The mysterious Peach Blossom Spring finally opened its doors to visitors. By a twist of fate, Bao Er Ye became the master of Peach Blossom Spring, and of course, he showed no mercy. The flags representing ownership were quickly planted across every inch of the maiden's secluded valley, awaiting the final strike to leave a mark of love, after which this fertile land would be his!
Gentle breezes and drizzling rain alternated with torrential downpours, the fiery atmosphere, bathed in the enchanting waves, propelling passion to a wild frenzy. Ripples, driven by unrestrained desire, surged into towering waves!
"Oh!" Boundless satisfaction and awe caused the Crown Princess's face to flush crimson with a captivating glow. The resilient Li Zhi, under the enemy's powerful onslaught, gritted her teeth and declared, "I want to...I want to cut you ten thousand times!"
"Heh, heh..." Playful chirping filled the air with intense passion. The girl's resistance aroused Bao Er Ye's unique arousal, his body throbbing with a powerful, indomitable spirit that seemed to heat the very heavens and earth. "Then I'll enter you ten thousand times! Sizzle, sizzle..."
The journey of "ten thousand times" began, the counterattack of "ten thousand times" bravely launched.
The spring breeze blows, the war drums beat, for love, who fears no one!
"Baoyu, save me... Baoyu, save me..." A long, mournful cry came from afar, its strange trajectory penetrating the heart of the Second Master Bao in his sweet dream.
"Whoosh!" A magical sensation jolted Baoyu, who was holding the exhausted Crown Princess in his arms, awake. Two beams of light, tinged with anxiety, shot towards the Jia family mansion. Then, a ripple appeared in the air, a sharp gust of wind trailing out a series of ethereal figures; in the blink of an eye, the Second Master Bao vanished into thin air, leaving only Li Zhi, who was truly enjoying the pleasures of being a wife, sleeping soundly with her substitute pillow for the little Baozi.
The black sedan chair finally returned to the Ningguo Mansion after a day's journey. The faint twilight seemed to foreshadow the impending gloom and cruelty, the swirling wind suddenly becoming mournful and urgent, and the kind clouds had long since hidden deep in the sky. Before
the sedan chair had even fully landed, the curtain was lifted by the anxious and worried Granny You. The plump figure of the middle-aged beauty swept a fragrant breeze and rushed straight into the inner courtyard.
"Heh, heh..." Jia Zhen didn't rush to get out of the sedan chair. After a few sinister laughs, he gritted his teeth and said, "Jia Qin, is everything ready?"
"Reporting to Master, the ten servants I carefully selected are already guarding the area around the guest courtyard. I guarantee no one can escape!" Jia Qin and the four sedan chair bearers simultaneously bowed, their sinister laughs so similar!
"Mother, Mother..." The anxious Granny You rushed into the courtyard gate, not noticing in her haste that the gatekeepers were not maids or servants, but strange, burly men. The beautiful woman had no time to see the fierce and lewd glint in their eyes.
"Ah, Eldest Sister! Why are you back?!" Second Sister You lifted the curtain and came out upon hearing the voice, her face full of surprise at seeing her eldest sister coming towards her. She couldn't understand why her eldest sister had suddenly returned, but the girl's sensitive heart tightened, and a faint premonition arose within her.
"Second sister, where is Mother? Is she feeling any better?" Seeing that her second sister showed no sign of sorrow, Madam You slowed her hurried steps and blurted out the question.
"Illness?! What illness?! Mother is perfectly fine!" The second sister's bright eyes showed even greater unease. She then asked anxiously, "Eldest sister, how could you think Mother is unwell?!"
"Ah!" Now it was Madam You's turn to be stunned, her mind a jumbled mess as she blankly replied, "Didn't you write that Mother was critically ill? Could Jia Zhen have made a mistake?!"
"Daughter, why are you back?!" At this moment, Madam You also came out from the inner room. She was about the same age as the second sister and was filled with curiosity.
"Oh no! We must get out of here quickly!" The clever second sister grabbed her mother and eldest sister by the arm and ran towards the door without further ado.
"Second Sister, have you gone mad?!" Confused and bewildered, Madam You exclaimed in surprise, her steps naturally not matching the inexplicable tugging of her second sister.
"Mother, there's no time. Let's escape to the Rongguo Mansion first!" Second Sister's earnest and solemn words gave her mother and eldest sister no chance to object. Her tense expression made their hearts tighten instinctively. Deeply impressed by Second Sister's wisdom, they quickened their pace and rushed towards the courtyard gate.
"Ah!" Just as the three girls reached the gate, they saw Jia Zhen, surrounded by several burly men, slowly and menacingly approaching. Madam You finally understood what Second Sister meant.
"We've been tricked!" Grandma You finally understood the truth from the clues. Terrified, the beautiful woman's face lost all color, her lips trembling with fear. "It's over, it's over!"
"Go through the side gate!" Second Sister, true to her reputation as a carefree spirit, remained calm even in this crisis, turning and running without hesitation. Unfortunately, the usually honest Grandma You had lost her will to live. How could a young girl like Second Sister drag a grown woman so quickly?
"Eldest Sister, pull yourself together, let's escape!" Second Sister not only failed to drag Grandma You, but was also pulled so hard she almost fell. The girl, quickly regaining her footing, spoke urgently, her voice filled with anxiety.
"It's over, it's over! It's all my fault! If I hadn't married Jia Zhen, none of this would have happened!" The kind-hearted middle-aged woman subconsciously took all the blame upon herself. Desperate, she muttered to herself, "Second sister, take Mother and escape! I'll stay here and fight them!"
"Eldest sister, come, I'll carry you!" Second Sister You didn't want to be violated by this beast. The young woman, regardless of her elder sister's consent, bent down to offer her assistance. However, given her delicate female constitution, this was tantamount to surrendering.
The three women's panicked expressions in the courtyard were all observed by Jia Zhen. The old beast, greatly pleased, nodded repeatedly with a satisfied smile. With a sinister wave of his hand, he ordered his servants to slow down; he wanted to fully enjoy this thrilling game of cat and mouse!
A pair of jade-like hands appeared out of nowhere, their powerful force catching Grandma You in mid-air. Before Second Sister You could even react in disbelief, Madam You hurriedly warned, "Second girl, what are you standing there for?! Run!"
The beautiful woman, nourished by the divine stone's magic, was indeed extraordinary. Even while carrying her eldest daughter, Madam You was faster than her second! Although she possessed no extraordinary abilities, her mutated physique made her more swift and powerful than ordinary men!
Perhaps this was divine intervention! Second Sister You, running behind, had no time to ponder, attributing everything to the miraculous will of fate. She then exerted all her strength to catch up with her mother, and the three of them rushed towards the gate of survival.
"Heh, heh..." The open side gate was in sight, but the appearance of five or six burly men completely shattered the three women's hopes of escape. The men, their faces grotesque and menacing, were clearly not kind. "Three beautiful ladies, where are you going?! Why don't you stay and play with us?"
"Ah!" Despair and helplessness filled her pale face. Even You Erjie was at a loss!
"Back to the room and hold the door shut!" Perhaps the power of the divine stone was working silently, for You Shi had strangely calmed down in that instant, her courage renewed, determined not to surrender.
"Uh... alright!" Infected by her mother's composure, You Erjie regained her shrewdness. What was there to fear?! At worst, death was the only outcome!
The three women turned and fled again. Perhaps the men had received orders from their master; they didn't immediately pounce on their prey, but like Jia Zhen, they slowly approached.
"Bang!" The door slammed shut. Under the invisible call of her mother and second sister, Granny You also mustered the courage to resist. The three women worked together to block the doors and windows with all the movable tables and chairs.
"Heh, heh...fun, fun!" The two groups joined forces. Jia Zhen, smugly listening to the sounds inside, was not annoyed but rather delighted. He stroked his beard and exclaimed, "I didn't expect these three sluts to be so fun! Let's keep them a few more days and have our fill, what do you say?!"
"Master, what a great idea!" The accomplices were naturally thrilled at the prospect of playing with the beauties for a few more days.
"Attack!" When the three women inside were panting heavily, Jia Zhen, unable to restrain his desires any longer, waved his hand, and the servants finally launched their hunting attack.
"Put in more force! Hurry up, haven't I been feeding you all day?!" Seeing that the attack had failed, Jia Zhen's violent nature finally erupted. He pointed at the wooden stake in the courtyard and said, "Useless trash, use that thing to ram it!"
Although the door was thick and the mother and daughter You were praying to heaven for protection, how could all this stop the attack of more than ten wolves and tigers?
"Boom!" The wide wooden planks shattered into pieces, and even the door frame did not escape its pitiful fate. The group of wolves and tigers cheered and roared as they rushed forward. The three women, with despair on their faces, trembled in the corner of the room. Their helpless beauty aroused the boundless lust in the hearts of the men.
"Heh, heh... Run away, why aren't you running away anymore?!" Jia Zhen strolled slowly to the front of Madam You and her daughter. His smug face was no longer sanctimonious; his ferocious heart was written all over his still-presentable face. The old man's tone changed, and he said hatefully, "You bitches, you dared to kill my son! Now it's time for retribution!"
"Heh, heh..." To everyone's surprise, the panic on Madam You's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the flirtatious and charming beauty appeared before everyone's eyes.
