Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

The moonlight was like water, spreading on the bluestone slabs, creating a faint layer of silver.

Shen Xingxi walked hurriedly across the cobblestone road and came to the front yard.

There must be chicken blood on the ground, and the servants are cleaning it up.

She opened the door and pretended to be concerned and asked, "My Lord, are you okay? Are you frightened?"

Prince Yun sat upright on the chair and raised his head when he heard the words.

His eyes were like the night sky in winter, cold and chilly.

"Are you the princess that my father gave to me?"

Shen Xingxi was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned into surprise: "Your Highness, are you okay? Someone, go to the palace and find a doctor!"

Prince Yun retracted his gaze and said, "The court doctor has just examined him. It is late today, so please do not disturb Father. Tomorrow, this prince will go to the palace to pay his respects to Father."

"Your Majesty is wise." Shen Xingxi walked into the room and asked with concern, "Is Your Majesty really not feeling unwell?"

"Princess, do you really hope that the prince is unwell?" Prince Yun's eyes, as dark as obsidian, flickered with luster, as if he was smiling, and his low ending tone contained a dangerous aura.

Shen Xingxi was not afraid at all and smiled softly, "Isn't this because I care about Your Majesty?"

She looked cunning and lowered her voice, "Your Highness, you don't know that I gave you medicine but it didn't work. Has the palace doctor checked there?"

The dignity that Prince Yun maintained on the surface almost collapsed. He glared at the princess quietly and said in a light voice: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am not feeling unwell in any way."

"Then I will feel relieved." Shen Xingxi curled her lips: "Then Your Majesty, do you want me to stay tonight?"

King Yun's ears turned red unconsciously and he gave Mantian a look.

Mantian immediately closed the door.

There were only two people left in the room, and Prince Yun couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Can you stay?"

Shen Xingxi smiled and poked his chest muscle, "I'm done washing, you go wash first."

King Yun's Adam's apple rolled, and he ordered uncontrollably, "Prepare water for bathing in the whole sky."

After saying this, his cheeks became even redder, and he didn't even dare to look directly at the princess.

Shen Xingxi looked at the solemn and stern Prince Yun, who now looked like a young boy who had just fallen in love, innocent and shy. She couldn't help but smile even more. She rubbed his head uncontrollably and praised him, "You are so cute."

"How can I be cute!" Prince Yun refuted Shen Xingxi's words with a red face.

But his head did not avoid Shen Xingxi's hand. Instead, he subconsciously bent down and stretched his neck forward.

Shen Xingxi curved her eyebrows and said, "But I like cute people. Do you think you are cute?"

King Yun's thin lips moved, and after a long while he finally uttered two words: "Cute."

"So cute~"

After a while, Mantian prepared water for bathing.

Prince Yun immediately turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

Shen Xingxi looked at his back and gradually stopped smiling.

The system popped up: [Host, why are you suddenly in a bad mood? ]

[Because I don’t believe in long-term relationships.]

As Prince Yun stepped into the bathtub, determination flashed in his eyes. He would prove it to the princess!

There was no conflict between his wishes and those of the princess. He wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous era, and the princess wanted to seek benefits for women. As long as he did not touch the princess's bottom line, why couldn't he have both the kingdom and the beauty?

But the Prime Minister was right in reminding him that he really needed to confess his identity as soon as possible.

After making sure he was thoroughly washed, he stepped out of the bathtub, wiped off the water stains on his body, chose a silver silk lingerie to put on, and returned to the room.

Shen Xingxi's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by King Yun. His thin inner garment was tightly attached to his skin, revealing his perfect figure. His wet hair was draped over his body, with water droplets sliding down his skin, making him particularly attractive.

Prince Yun walked slowly towards the princess. His smooth silk undergarment, which was only tied with a belt, was gently lifted up and then slid down from his shoulders, revealing half of his broad shoulders and half of his collarbone and pectoral muscles.

He sat down in front of the princess and asked, "Is the princess satisfied with me?"

Shen Xingxi placed her hands on his pectoral muscles, gradually closing her five fingers together, then releasing them, watching the shape change, dark colors in her eyes surging.

Prince Yun caught the interest in the princess' eyes and thought it was the best time to confess. He asked in a low voice, "Princess, are you satisfied with today's performance?"

Shen Xingxi paused for a moment, then returned to normal: "Why do you ask, Mr. Yun?"

Prince Yun: "Actually, I didn't have to act like this today, I just saw that you liked it."

"No wonder I was confused. Why did you, who also has royal blood, choose to pretend to be someone else? It turns out you did it to make me laugh. I will never forget Mr. Yun's deep affection for me."

She stood up and pushed him against the back of the chair. "I'll thank you with a kiss."

Prince Yun placed his hand on the princess' shoulder and said, "Listen to me first."

"There's nothing to say." Shen Xingxi put his hand down and leaned over to bite his lips.

She exerted some strength and only let go when she tasted blood.

There was no trace of desire in her eyes, and she said softly: "Mr. Yun needs to enter the palace tomorrow, do you think the emperor will arrange a concubine for you?

I have made it clear in advance that if the emperor asks me to take a concubine for you, I will definitely agree.

But I cannot accept being attracted to someone who has had concubines.

If you can't do it, I won't force you, and there's no need to talk about anything else.

I will become a virtuous and generous princess in the eyes of the world."

Prince Yun frowned: "Even if you bring the person into the palace, I won't touch him, right?"

"No, there is no room for negotiation on this matter." Shen Xingxi looked into his eyes and asked, "Can you do this?"

Prince Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Shen is forcing me to break up with my father. I will do as you wish."

"I'm not forcing you to break up, but I know that everything depends on human effort. You can do it as long as you are willing." Shen Xingxi laughed sarcastically, "I can't understand your action of taking someone back home because of the situation. Not to mention whether it will delay someone else's life, just from this action, you only consider yourself."

Prince Yun instantly forgot about his original intention to confess his identity and couldn't help asking, "Does the princess have any good ideas? I can only think of making excuses to refuse, but you also know that the emperor is shameless."

"He has no shame, wouldn't it be weird if you had any shame?" Shen Xingxi pointed out, and stood up. "It's getting late, come on, I'll hold you to sleep."

King Yun's ears immediately turned red, and he asked hesitantly, "What else should we do?"

"Don't push your luck." Shen Xingxi took his hand and walked towards the bed. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of his wet hair and stopped: "Dry your hair before going to bed."

"If I put something under the bed, it won't get wet. It takes too long to dry, which is a waste of time. It's better to let it dry by itself." Prince Yun was most impatient to dry his hair.

"Forget it, I'll wipe it for you, you just lie down." Shen Xingxi sighed and went to get the headscarf as if he had accepted his fate.

Prince Yun didn't expect that the princess would be willing to wipe his hair. His steps became lighter and he couldn't suppress the corners of his lips. He lay obediently on the bed and looked in the direction of the princess.

Shen Xingxi looked at him with eager eyes and smiled with a hint of doting.

She moved a chair to the head of the bed and sat there, gently wiping his long hair.

System: [Host, I suddenly feel that you are a little too pampered for him. ]

[Hahaha... How can I not spoil her? Do you know why I asked Mr. Yun not to take a concubine? ]

【What is it? 】

[I am the one who cares. ]

[Host, you...] The system couldn't help but worry: [My reaction arc is slow. You should have noticed it when you said you didn't believe in permanent feelings. So, host, are you feeling very uncomfortable? How long have you been suppressing it? Will you be soft-hearted?]

[System, I was attracted by beauty. Remember I said I was letting myself sink into depravity? Sometimes I wonder, I haven’t even tasted love, why should I make others sober?

But after experiencing it, I suddenly realized that we seem to have made love a myth, just like I was once instilled with the idea that an elder sister is like a mother and no one will want you if you are not diligent. When I mention love, what I think of is holding hands with you and growing old together; what I think of is being together through life and death and having a promise with you.

We seem to have been indoctrinated into believing that love is supreme and can overcome all difficulties, just as you think that if I fall in love, I will be soft-hearted and give in.

But the reality is that people only care about the daily necessities of life. They quarrel over trivial matters, get tired of each other because of disagreements, go their separate ways because of different positions, and each flee when disaster strikes. 】

The system pursed its lips and said, "Host, is it possible that you don't love him enough now? I have seen too many hosts push their men to the throne, get jealous, give in step by step, and even take the initiative to ask the other party to take a concubine for the sake of the other party's situation. They will also use the system's ability to help men consolidate their kingdom.

The final ending is also quite good. The man disbands his harem and passes the throne to his child. The two of them travel around and become a pair of immortal lovers. 】

[So I am in a book? ]

[Host, is there any point in transmigrating into a book? Since even the NPCs that make up the interface are people with thoughts.]

Shen Xingxi hummed and focused her attention on King Yun's hair.

Of course it matters whether she is traveling through a book or not, she can redefine King Yun’s feelings.

It can also be utilized.

No wonder it was so easy to become Princess Yun, and no wonder the person I always came into contact with was Prince Yun.

No wonder she had only seen King Yun become the lucky one.

He wove his fingers through the smooth black hair, and after drying it, he leaned over and kissed King Yun's forehead, "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking?"

Prince Yun lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts. In fact, he could always feel the princess's affection for him, and he also hoped that the princess would love him as deeply as his mother loved his father.

Now they no longer dare to hope that love alone can bring them to the end of their lives.

He really needs to come clean.

If he wants to stay with the princess for a long time, he must avoid trivial matters, disagreements, and opposing positions...

His smile was somewhat forced. He sat up and looked at her seriously, "Princess, I want to continue the topic just now. I just acted in this play today because I thought you would like to watch it. I want to be honest with you..."

Shen Xingxi took a deep breath, [Is Yun Jingce going to confess that he is the King of Yun again? ]
