The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Ji Yan's lips trembled twice, and he quickly calmed himself down, showing that perfect expression again, and asked: "Why do you think that the prince has a hobby of polishing mirrors?"

Young Master Liu said, "I have been in the palace for four years, which should be the longest time. I am telling you this in secret, so you must not tell anyone else."

"I'm leaving soon, don't cause me any trouble."

Seeing everyone nodding, Master Liu continued, "In the four years in the palace, can you believe that the prince didn't sleep with anyone?"

"And never been to the land of fireworks!"

"There are so many handsome men in the palace, but she has never touched any of them! And you can see that the servants in the prince's yard are all women, not a single man!"

Ji Yan's face twitched, "I heard that the prince is obsessed with martial arts."

"But if there are so many handsome young men in front of any woman, she will be tempted, right? At worst, she can just use her hands, right?"

Young Master Liu looked at Ji Yan and said, "Little Ji, let me ask you, although you have been in the palace for the shortest time, you have been with the prince longer than some people who have been in the palace for one or two years."

"Let me ask you, has the prince ever held your hand? Has he ever hugged you? Has he ever kissed you?"

"You are so beautiful! Even the prince is not moved!"

"I can't be completely sure that the prince has a hobby of polishing mirrors, but it is very doubtful. Don't you doubt it?"

Ji Yan was so dazed that his eyes were unfocused.

Did the prince ever hold his hand? Did he ever hug him? Did he ever kiss him?

Those three sentences were like three sharp arrows, piercing his chest.

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't you like women like us?"

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain it. Why do you keep so many brothers in your mansion when you have nothing to do?"

"Hiss... Could it be that we are all just a trick? Are we doing this for outsiders to see? In fact, the prince already has a favorite woman?"

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, Ji Yan left the crowd with an expressionless face.

Someone looked at his desolate back and asked Master Liu, "What happened to him?"

Young Master Liu said, "Xiao Ji liked the prince at first sight. Now that he knows the news, he probably can't accept it and is very sad."

The young master who spoke sighed, "Who hasn't liked the prince? It's just that my heart has given up."

That's the prince of the Great Chu! The sister of the current emperor! A god-like figure on the top of a mountain!

It’s a pity that I don’t have the blessing to sleep with the prince.

The male servant saw his master coming out like a lost soul, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Ji Yan shook his head expressionlessly, "It's okay, I'm a little tired, let's go back home."

The prince likes women?

He didn't believe it.

If you really like women... Ji Yan's face was gloomy.

If he really likes it, he has to straighten the prince!

After Chu Bainiao returned home today, he took the list handed to him by the housekeeper and read it over. "Only seventeen people?"

Seventeen of the thirty-two left, leaving fifteen. In addition to my senior brother, there are still fourteen left.

Why didn’t those fourteen leave? Was it because she didn’t give them enough money?

It's impossible that you don't want to leave, right?

Steward Zhu looked at the mysterious expression on the prince's face and for a moment couldn't tell whether the prince was dissatisfied with the fact that too many people had left or too few.

Don't dare to speak.

Although he didn't know why the prince kept a group of men in his mansion and didn't let them sleep, there were too many young masters in the mansion, and the young masters from the wealthy families outside didn't dare to...

No, I am willing to marry him. After all, the prince is of top quality in both family background and appearance.

However, the matchmakers were stopped by the prince.

Butler Zhu said, "Yes, Your Majesty, these seventeen people have decided to leave the palace."

Chu Bainiao hummed, and said without showing any emotion: "Go down, I'll leave this matter to you."

After the housekeeper left, she was busy with official business until five o'clock in the evening, but her senior brother still hadn't sent anyone to call her.

Chu Bai Niao was a little puzzled, thinking that her senior brother's name was not on the list. She called the servant and asked, "Didn't Master Ji send someone to invite me to dinner tonight?"

The attendant bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, no one is coming."

Chu Bainiao stood up after thinking for a while. She thought, since she invited him every day, why not today?

Is something wrong?

It can't be that you don't want to invite me today, right?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, she walked to her senior brother's courtyard.

As soon as I stepped in, the courtyard was quiet, with only my senior brother's male servant still guarding outside the house.

Chu Bainiao frowned slightly and walked up to the male servant who was kneeling and greeting. "Where is your master? Why is there no one in the yard?"

The male servant whispered, "Your Highness, my master is inside the house. The servants in the yard have been sent back to rest by the master. I am worried about the master, so I am guarding outside the house."

He bravely raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, please go and see the master. The master has been unhappy since he came back from the backyard today."

Ji Yan sat on the bed listening to the conversation outside the room. His face twitched for a moment and he laughed silently.

The smile seemed to be soaked in poison, making people feel cold for no reason.

"Xiao Yan?" The woman's clear voice rang out along with the creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open.

Chu Bainiao walked around the tables, benches and curtains, and caught a glimpse of his senior brother who was leaning on the bed, looking pale and sick.

She walked up quickly, sat beside the bed, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Xiao Yan, are you feeling unwell?"

"Did someone make you angry? Have you eaten yet?"

As soon as Ji Yan heard the prince's voice, he burst into tears. He threw himself forward and hugged Chu Bainiao's shoulders, hugging her tightly, sobbing softly.

Chu Bai Niao patted his senior brother's thin shoulders distressedly, and asked carefully in a slow voice: "What's wrong, Xiao Yan, tell me? Are you feeling unwell or did someone make you angry?"

"Neither..." Ji Yan lay on Chu Bainiao's shoulder, smelling the fragrance coming from the prince's neck and shoulders. His dark and restless heart calmed down a little. He sobbed softly, "Prince, do you also treat Xiao Yan as your brother?"

A straight ball made Chu Bainiao stutter.

When Ji Yan saw Chu Bainiao remained silent, he felt a chill in his heart and his fingers unconsciously crumpled her clothes into a ball and pinched them in his palms.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to bite directly at the snow-white neck, but he was afraid of failing.

I could only try my best to endure the pain and anger in my heart.

She pretended to be innocent and said, "It turns out that the prince also treats me as his brother..."

The voice could not hide the sadness and weakness.

Chu Bainiao opened her lips, not knowing what to say, she thought hesitantly.

It seems that the senior brother in this world also likes her. Anyway, he has already drawn more than one or two threads of love to her, and the main body did not try to stop him. So why not?

But what if senior brother doesn’t like her?

Brother didn't say it directly...

How embarrassing would it be if there was a misunderstanding?

Just as she was about to speak, Ji Yan's voice rang out again, "Your Highness, can you tell Xiao Yan, why does Your Highness keep so many brothers in the mansion?"
