Quick Wear: The Little Witch in the Hand of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince

Tao Xingyan blinked, waiting for Fu Yubai's next words, and then, nothing happened.

Tao Xingyan was somewhat speechless. If they had just met once, would they be considered acquaintances? Besides, as she remembered, it didn't seem like they had met once. At most, they had looked at each other.

Perhaps sensing Tao Xingyan's speechless mood, Fu Yubai explained calmly: "The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. If you are not familiar with each other this time, you will be familiar with each other the next time you meet."

Tao Xingyan's eyes twitched as he listened to this speech.

Forget it, she didn't say anything. It was late at night and she was sleepy, so she just ordered them to leave.

"It's getting late, General Fu, please go back. I need to rest."

When Fu Yubai heard Tao Xingyan's words, he felt a little regretful. He had not spent enough time with Xingbao.

Then he stood up silently, walked to the side and looked at Tao Xingyan.

Tao Xingyan ignored him and walked straight to the bed, sat down, and took off her shoes. She looked up at Fu Yubai and saw that he had no intention of leaving: "General Fu, it's late, I need to rest."

"I know." Fu Yubai nodded and replied, but he stood there honestly, motionless.

Tao Xingyan was really sleepy. She covered the night-shining pearl beside her, then covered her lips and yawned delicately: "General Fu, please do as you please. I need to rest."

After saying that, Tao Xingyan lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

Fu Yubai looked at the little man on the bed in the moonlight outside the window. He didn't know how long he had been looking at him until he felt a slight numbness in his feet.

Then he moved his feet and whispered, "Good night, Xingbao."

He then carefully opened the door, walked out, and returned to the general's mansion.

Mu Fei, who had been waiting in Fu Yubai's yard, was already pecking at rice on the tree. He woke up immediately after hearing the noise.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his general returning to the room. He then looked up at the time. It was probably two or three o'clock in the morning.

Our general went out at around ten o'clock and just came back now!

Mu Fei blinked in shock. What had the general done in the Tao family for so long?

Tao Xingyan slept well that night and woke up naturally the next day.

After she woke up, washed up, opened the door and walked out.

Feeling the warmth and comfort of the sun shining on my face, my mood improved a lot.

When he walked into the hall, his parents and brothers had already had breakfast.

Tao Qing took a sip of the tea she had just brought back and looked at Tao Xingyan who had come late: "Sister, you slept late last night, and you didn't wake up no matter how hard I called you this morning."

It's just that she went to bed a little late. It was already twelve o'clock when she went to bed yesterday, which was three hours later than her usual time.

Tao Xingyan curled the corners of his mouth: "Hehehe, I stayed up late to read a storybook. I won't do that next time."

"Well, okay, go have breakfast. The kitchen is keeping the food warm for you." Tao Qing continued.

"Okay, thank you, second brother."

After Tao Xingyan finished her breakfast, the Tao family gathered together to discuss that the most important thing for the Tao family now was to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Tao Xingyan.

Tao Xingyan's coming-of-age ceremony is still one month away.

Although the Tao family is a rising star, the Tao brothers have all made great achievements and will definitely have a bright future. There must be many women in the capital who are eyeing these five brothers.

So I must come to join in the fun at Tao Xingyan’s coming-of-age ceremony.

Tao Zhu immediately came to Tao Xingyan's side and said, "Sister, is there anything you want? I will get it for you no matter what it is."

This is really a matter of money!

"Yanyan likes whatever Third Brother gives her."

"Okay, third brother has to think about this carefully." Tao Zhu said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

"Yanyan, do you have any ideas?" Fang Ran looked at his little daughter who was about to grow up with a gentle face.

Tao Xingyan shook her head obediently: "I'll listen to my mother."

Fang Ran nodded, and then talked about some details that a girl should pay attention to when she comes of age.

The men of the Tao family nodded seriously, as if they were listening to some national event, to indicate that they understood.

Tao Xingyan held his chin and watched his parents and brothers discuss things. Although he couldn't get a word in, he seemed comfortable watching.

…………

At Zhang's house, Zhang Zhe walked into Zhang Ti's study, from which came the sounds of delicate moans.

How could he, who had been through so many battles, not know what was happening in the room? He didn't feel embarrassed at all after eavesdropping on his father's conversation.

Instead, he stood outside with great interest, waiting for his father to finish.

After a long time, the sounds in the room gradually disappeared. After a while, the door was opened, and the smell of lovemaking emanated.

A woman with a flushed face slowly walked out from there. She was the concubine his father had just taken in, and she was quite pretty.

The woman saluted Zhang Zhe coquettishly: "Master."

The voice was gentle and seductive, and Zhang Zhe's mouth curled up into a smile: "Madam Liu, you have worked hard, go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you for your concern, young master." Aunt Liu squatted down, stood up, threw a coquettish glance at Zhang Zhe and left.

After Aunt Liu left, Zhang Zhe walked into the study. The smell in the room had not yet dissipated, but he didn't care at all.

Waiting for my father to come out after getting dressed.

"Zhe'er, why are you looking for your dad?" Zhang Ti, who was full and satisfied, looked at his beloved son.

Zhang Zhe crossed his legs and said, "Dad, did you know that the Tao family has arrived in Beijing?"

"How could Dad not know? Your cousin just said a few days ago that the Tao family is indeed a major obstacle in his bid for succession to the throne! They must be eliminated." Zhang Ti said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"But, Dad, didn't you promise me at that time? I want to marry the daughter of the Tao family, and she will be coming of age soon." Zhang Zhe said.

“But…” Zhang Ti hesitated. Indeed, he had promised Zhe’er before that when the Second Prince ascended to that position, he would let him marry the girl from the Tao family.

But the situation is different now. Before, the Tao family had not taken sides, but now, Tao Qing, the son of the Tao family, has clearly taken sides with the prince.

There is also Tao Yao, the eldest son of the Tao family, who is good friends with Fu Yubai, and Fu Yubai is good friends with the prince.

The Tao family has clearly sided with the prince, so how could they possibly be with their own son...

Zhang Ti rubbed his aching forehead.

Zhang Zhe said: "Dad, I know what you are thinking, but just because of this, I must marry the daughter of the Tao family!"

"Dad, think about it. Although the Tao family is a newly rising family, the brothers are all capable and dote on their sister. If I marry a girl from the Tao family, are you still afraid that I won't be able to control them?"

Zhang Ti was a little shaken. What Zhe'er said made sense!

"Dad, if it works, my cousin will have a great helper. If it doesn't, we won't lose anything. After all, isn't the Tao family on the side of the prince?"

Zhang Zhe had said this, and Zhang Ti did not refute anymore. He just nodded and agreed.

"Dad doesn't care about you anymore. You can do whatever you want, but Dad won't let anyone propose marriage to you." The Zhang and Tao families were not on good terms, so even if a marriage was proposed, they would not agree, and it would bring shame to the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhe understood what his father meant. He smiled smugly and said, "Don't worry, Dad."

By then, she would not be his legal wife. Wouldn't it be more fun if a woman like that became his concubine?

The innocence of this woman is more important than her life, but he can't do that. If he loses his innocence, who would want her?

Since that night, Fu Yubai went to the Tao family almost every day.

Those who don’t know would think that the Tao family has become Fu Yubai’s home.

Fu Yubai sat on a stool and talked to Fang Ran in a very good-tempered manner.

In the secret of pursuing a wife given by Mu Fei, it is said that in order to pursue a wife, in addition to pleasing the future wife, the most important thing is to win the favor of the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Therefore, Fu Yubai came here almost every day, trying to please Fang Ran under the pretext of exchanging ideas with Tao Yao.

He could see that in the Tao family, Fang Ran's status was higher than Tao Yuan's.

The Tao brothers didn't think much about it. On the one hand, Fu Yubai didn't make any moves. On the other hand, Fu Yubai was 6 years older than Tao Xingyan, which was a big age difference. Moreover, his sister wasn't yet an adult. No one could imagine that Fu Yubai would fall in love with a girl who wasn't yet an adult.

Tao Xingyan sat aside, supporting himself with his hands, watching his mother being coaxed by Fu Yubai and smiling happily. He felt helpless. Mom! Do you know what this person in front of you is thinking?

Thinking of this, Tao Xingyan couldn't help but glare at Fu Yubai again.

Fu Yubai was not angry at all, instead he was very sweet: Well, Xingbao is so cute even when he glares at people.

Fu Yubai was talking to Fang Ran when he suddenly mentioned that there would be a very lively lantern festival in the capital tonight: "Aunt Tao hasn't visited the lantern festival in the capital yet, why not take this opportunity to have a good time?"

Fang Ran smiled and refused, "Forget it, Xiao Fu. Auntie is already quite old, and the Lantern Festival is attended by young people. It's not appropriate for Auntie to go."

"How could that be? Auntie looks very young, not old at all." Fu Yubai said sincerely. Besides, he was not lying. Auntie Tao took good care of herself. She is almost 40 years old but now looks like she is in her early s.

Fang Ran still refused, and Fu Yubai changed the subject and said, "Sister Xingyan has never been to a lantern festival, right?"

These days, Fu Yubai often comes to the Tao family, and his way of addressing Tao Xingyan has gradually changed from Miss Tao to Sister Xingyan.

In fact, the name he wanted to call the most was Xingbao, but he didn't dare.

Tao Xingyan's beautiful eyes widened slightly: ??? Just talk, why did you suddenly mention her?

When Tao Xingyan was mentioned, Fang Ran was obviously more interested: "Yes, Yanyan, you are young, so go out and play more. Don't stay at home all the time and read novels. Go out and make more friends."

It's no wonder Fang Ran said that. Since coming to the capital, Tao Xingyan has never gone out except for the day when Tao Yao came back and he went out with Tao Zhu.

How can you live without friends at such a young age?

Fu Yubai nodded and responded, "Well, Auntie is right, Sister Xingyan, it's good to go out more often. You can't say you won't go out in the future."

Fang Ran nodded: "Yes, Yanyan, how about this, you go out to the Lantern Festival today, don't stay at home."

Tao Xingyan: "Mom, it's not...I..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Ran hesitated: "It's just for safety. Yanyan, remember to bring all the guards your brother gave you."

Fu Yubai's eyes flashed with a gleam of success, but he suppressed it, and said, "How about this, auntie, I also happen to be going to the Lantern Festival today, I'll take sister Xingyan with me and introduce her to him."

"This..." After all, this was not his child. Although Fang Ran thought this was a good suggestion, he did not agree hastily: "This is too much trouble for you."

"It's not a trouble. Given the relationship between A Yao and me, A Yao's sister is my sister." Fu Yubai said lightly.

"Okay then." Since Fu Yubai said so, Fang Ran didn't refuse.

She turned to Tao Xingyan and warned, "Yanyan, follow your brother Fu and be a good boy. Don't cause trouble for your brother Fu, okay?"

Tao Xingyan was helpless. Didn’t these few words decide where she would go tonight?

She hasn’t agreed yet!!

But when Tao Xingyan looked into the eyes of her mother and Fu Yubai, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth: "I know, mother. I will be good."

At night, Tao Xingyan dressed up and wore a nude pink dress, which was elegant and tasteful. It was dotted with a few pink cherry blossoms, making her look more charming.

After Tao Xingyan said goodbye to Fang Ran, he got on the carriage of the general's mansion.

When she lifted the curtain, she found Fu Yubai was also sitting inside.

She was stunned for a moment, then bent down and walked in, sat aside, her body straight.

She said with her cherry lips: "General Fu is really good at talking. He won my mother's favor and made her agree to let me come out with just a few words."

Isn't it better to stay at home? It's so hot, but you still have to go out to see the lantern festival. There are so many people on the road. I don't know what's so good about it.

"Thank you." Fu Yubai opened his thin lips and uttered two words lightly.

"Hmph." Tao Xingyan couldn't help but snort when she heard his two casual words, her pink lips slightly pouted.

Fu Yubai looked at Tao Xingyan's outfit today and felt that the little girl was too cute. Coupled with this little expression, it really made people want to move all the good things in the world in front of her to make her happy.

And those moist lips looked very delicious. He just felt that his throat was a little dry and lacked some sweetness to moisten his throat.

Fu Yubai hurriedly left the sight and said, "I've asked people, there are a lot of fun things at the Lantern Festival, you won't regret it."

"You have to pay for all my things today!" Tao Xingyan said with a grin and a wrinkled nose.

She will definitely make him doubt his life today!

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fu Yubai said lovingly.
