The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"Is your young lady that kind of person?" Xia Tongsheng raised her eyebrows and looked at her innocently, constantly proclaiming her harmlessness!

"Yes!"

"Hey, girl, why aren't you following the script? I'm just asking you to seduce Butler Li! It's not like you'll lose anything!"

Yingling thought of the butler, a man in his forties. "Miss, I am still a virgin, you can't..." Her voice trailed off, and Yingling was too embarrassed to say the rest.

Xia Tongsheng realized that this was ancient times, and such a daring "game" of seduction was only suitable for modern times. "Forget it, I doubt you could successfully seduce the butler even if I sent you!"

"real!"

"When has your young lady ever lied to you! If Plan A doesn't work, we'll switch to Plan B!" Xia Tongsheng stared ahead with unwavering determination, as if a great battle was about to unfold! She looked every bit the hero going to her execution, her aura as heroic as could be!

"Miss, what do Plan A and Plan B mean? I don't understand."

"Child, can you not spoil the mood? Didn't you see how heroic I was just now?" But she still patiently explained, "It means that if one plan fails, another will be devised!"

"Oh! I understand! So, Miss, besides seducing the butler, what other plans do you have?" Yingling poured cold water on Xia Tongsheng's plans again!

Her newly formed confidence vanished instantly. "I haven't thought of that yet."

"..."

Then why did you speak with such conviction?

At this moment, Consort Fu arrived at the East Garden with her entourage to pay her respects, but Xia Tongsheng had no time to deal with this important person and simply sent her away.

It's a pity that this person left so obediently, which is strange. Sure enough, Li Fuqi barged in with her entourage in a flurry.

He yelled in the courtyard, "Xia Tongsheng, come out here!"

"What's wrong?" Xia Tongsheng didn't want to talk to her, but she still came out politely.

"What do you mean? I, the princess, have come all this way to pay my respects, and not only do you not receive me, you also want to send me away. Do you take me for a beggar?"

county lord?

Yingling didn't tell her yesterday. She glanced at Yingling, who looked blank and said she didn't know either.

Xia Tongsheng never expected that this domineering and dazzling young beauty was actually a princess. No wonder she was so arrogant.

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Since she's being so nice, she should probably tone it down a bit!

"Princess, how could I dare? I was just worried about you working hard and wanted you to go back and rest early!"

Well, she herself didn't believe this reason, but sometimes you have to say something polite, just in case some idiot believes it. Then there would be one less war, adding a bit of peace to the world!

"You don't dare? You even dared to kick a prince out of bed, is there anything in this world you wouldn't dare to do?"

Thinking of this, Li Fuqi got angry. Since she married the prince, he had never been to her room. On the other hand, Xia Tongsheng had only been in the house for two days, and the prince had stayed in her room for two days in a row. She didn't expect that she would not appreciate it and kicked the prince out of bed!

Indeed, without comparison, there is no harm!

Xia Tongsheng was furious when she heard her say that. She absolutely could not let her put this label on her head, otherwise how would she ever be able to get along in the Prince's Mansion?

“Princess, I cannot agree with what you say. The Prince is my husband, he is my everything. Even if I had the greatest courage, how could I dare to kick my husband out of bed? Some things can only be believed by seeing them with your own eyes. Otherwise, spreading rumors will make people think you have no judgment!”

The implication is, are you stupid? You believe everything people say!

Li Fuqi's face turned red and white, and after a long while she managed to stammer out, "That's what everyone in the Prince's mansion says!" But her confidence seemed a little weak.

"But Princess, you are the master. Can a master believe everything a servant says?" The implication is that servants usually listen to their masters, but she, as the master, was listening to frightening words.

However, Li Fuqi's level of understanding is probably too advanced to grasp these nuances.

Xia Tongsheng felt increasingly bored, like wanting to argue with someone to vent your anger, but unfortunately the other person was a child, and it was a complete rout.

The victory was too easy, which made it feel uninteresting. This is what they call being pretentious!

Just as Xia Tongsheng was about to stop, Gu Xue arrived with Lü Ping. She smiled and said, "I'm really lucky today. I was planning to pay my respects to the Princess Consort, but I didn't expect to meet the renowned Princess here. I'm so fortunate!"

Hearing Gu Xue praise her like that, Li Fuqi's angry expression softened somewhat, and she puffed out her chest slightly, probably trying to make herself look more elegant.

"Alright, now that you've paid your respects, you can leave!" Xia Tongsheng was busy dealing with the rumors and had no intention of arguing with them.

It's a pity, is Gu Xue a peaceful person?

"Sister, how could you do this? I came to inquire about your well-being. I heard you kicked the Prince out of bed. Although it's just gossip among the servants, it would be understandable for me to pretend I didn't know or care. But I consider the Princess Consort my own sister, and I couldn't bear not to come and check on her. So please don't mind my abruptness today!"

Xia Tongsheng glanced at Gu Xue casually, thinking, "Now that's what you call knowing how to talk." She couldn't help but want to remind Li Fuqi to learn from her!

"These are just idle gossips among servants, and should not be believed!" Xia Tongsheng replied, thus distancing herself from the matter.

"It seems that my sister was really wronged in this matter. If that's the case, why did these rumors suddenly appear?"

The implication is that there's a reason for everything; if you hadn't done it, why would anyone gossip?

Xia Tongsheng instantly understood the implication behind her words. Sure enough, she and Gu Xuecai were on the same level. She understood everything she said instantly. It was so satisfying to play psychological warfare with this kind of person.

It felt just like a meeting between underground members of the Chinese Communist Party in the 50s—both tense and exciting!

Okay, she admits, she has some masochistic tendencies.

She sneered, "I think it's because I'm new to the Prince's mansion that I haven't established my authority yet!"

"Liwei, it seems that you've already found out who's spreading the rumors?" Gu Xue probed.

Xia Tongsheng smiled without saying a word, "Guess, guess, guess! I'll keep you guessing forever!"

In fact, Xia Tongsheng was also testing the waters. She hoped to force the mastermind behind the scenes to lose their composure in this way!

From the beginning, Xia Tongsheng knew that there must be a mastermind behind this incident. Otherwise, how could a few maids and servants in the Prince's Mansion spread the news throughout the mansion overnight?

Since someone was trying to mess with her, she was actually a little excited. Since leaving Guigu, she hadn't practiced the military strategies she had learned for a long time. It would be good to take this opportunity to review what she had learned.

This is the legendary "If the enemy doesn't move, I move!" Sister, I'm going to disrupt you!

If her master knew that she was using the Guiguzi military strategy she had learned to deal with a group of women in the backyard, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood!
