The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Li Fuqi felt there was no point in watching and found it boring. "Boring, I'm leaving!"

Upon hearing that Li Fuqi was leaving, Gu Xue added, "Since my sister is alright, I'll be going too!"

After saying that, she bowed to her and quickly caught up with Li Fuqi ahead.

Gu Xue thought that Xia Tongsheng was a difficult person to control. If she could get in touch with Li Fuqi, it would be helpful for her to deal with Xia Tongsheng, and on a larger scale, she could get in touch with the person behind her!

Moreover, compared to the shrewd and calculating Xia Tongsheng, the straightforward and impulsive Li Fuqi is obviously easier to control!

"Miss, didn't you dislike Consort Xue? Today you seem to admire her quite a bit!"

Xia Tongsheng pinched Yingling's little face, "I love this kind of cunning and intelligent white lotus the most! Of course I'm happy to have found a rival!"

"......" Isn't finding a kindred spirit supposed to be a happy thing? My young lady's thought process is indeed extraordinary, after being tempered by Master Guigu, she has become like a ghost!

Then the concubines in the courtyard came over to pay their respects. Xia Tongsheng dismissed them with a few words. After all, the concubines had no rank and dared not be presumptuous. Although they were unwilling, they all silently endured their tempers and left. They were probably all in their own courtyards now venting their anger on the maids!

Xia Tongsheng lay on her side on the bed. She knew that the mastermind behind this incident would not let her off so easily, otherwise how could the rumors be spread so blatantly?

"Yingling, which maid in my courtyard do you think is the most loyal?"

"Besides me, can you find anyone more loyal than me?" Yingling asked smugly.

Xia Tongsheng was speechless. Was this the time to "show off their affection"?

"Little girl, now is not the time for you to pledge your loyalty. This concerns your young lady's life, so be serious!"

It's clearly your own carelessness that led me astray! However, Yingling didn't dare say, "Buyao, that girl is in the same room as me, and she's an exceptional person in terms of both character and conduct!"

Xia Tongsheng slammed her hand on the table and made her decision, "Alright, I trust you, it's her! Bring her here!"

"Miss, you're not suggesting she seduce the butler, are you?" Yingling asked in a terrified tone.

Xia Tongsheng squinted, made a lewd expression, and then laughed loudly, "Just kidding, with Bu Yao's figure and face, even if we send her to seduce someone, she'd have to be at least on the same level as Min You'an!"

Yingling was completely bewildered. How could her young mistress speak of such filthy things with such an upright and honest face? She was truly shameless!

Not long after, Yingling called Bu Yao up. Xia Tongsheng stared at Bu Yao's face, completely smitten, for quite a while, until Yingling couldn't stand it anymore. She quietly poked her twice, bringing her back to her senses. She cleared her throat and pretended to be serious!

Seeing this, Yingling also put on the airs of a head maid.

Xia Tongsheng looked intently at her face, "Child, what did you eat? How come you're so beautiful!"

Bu Yao was slightly taken aback, while Ying Ling rolled her eyes. Her young lady really never failed to say something shocking. Couldn't she be serious for once?

"Miss, I must remind you, the Prince will be back in three hours!"

Upon hearing the prince's name, Xia Tongsheng immediately became serious. "Bu Yao, what do you think of my feelings for Yingling?"

"The Princess is extremely kind to Sister Yingling, and not only that, she is also kind to the servants!" Bu Yao was also a clear-headed person.

Xia Tongsheng sighed, "But I'm just too kind, that's why I get bullied!"

"Your Highness is kind and gentle, how could anyone bully you?" Buyao's big eyes blinked innocently!

"You know what happened this morning, right? Now everyone in the Prince's mansion is saying that I kicked the Prince out of bed. Don't you think that's just a rumor? How am I supposed to face the Prince after this!" Xia Tongsheng said, putting on a heartbroken expression.

"Princess, please don't be sad. Bu Yao will definitely support you!"

Hearing Bu Yao say that, Xia Tongsheng was overjoyed. "Sister, I've been waiting for you to say that for so long!" she thought. "Bu Yao, since you support me, can you do me a favor?"

"If the Princess needs me, I will gladly die for her!"

Yingling silently uttered "Amitabha," and Bu Yao had indeed fallen into the trap!

"There's no need to talk about dying. You're so beautiful, how could the princess bear to let you die? She'd be happy just to have you by her side!" Xia Tongsheng continued to deceive her.

Bu Yao blushed slightly after being teased like that!

Yingling sighed. Sure enough, she couldn't be serious for more than three seconds. But she couldn't expect too much from her young mistress. It was already good enough that she could restrain herself a little!

"What does the Princess want me to do?"

"Come closer!" Xia Tongsheng whispered something in her ear!

After lunch, everyone was supposed to leave, but Xia Tongsheng stood up and asked the butler to call everyone to the front hall. Just as everyone was discussing what the princess was going to do, Xia Tongsheng made her entrance.

Gu Xue frowned, her eyes darting around, as if she was thinking about something.

"Since yesterday, this palace has had a mistress. This is also my second day at the palace. I haven't had a proper chance to meet everyone yet, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to say hello!"

Xia Tongsheng glanced at everyone and, with Yingling's help, sat down on the grand chair behind her. Although her aura was slightly weaker than Min Youan's, it was still enough to intimidate the servants in the Prince's mansion.

"The prince is preoccupied with court affairs every day, and as his princess consort, I must manage his household affairs well so that he has no worries! Only then can I live up to his deep affection for me! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone in the mansion looked respectful.

"Good that you understand. I'm sure you're all smart people. You should all be more careful with your words and actions in the future! Don't end up like Bu Yao!"

Just as everyone was wondering what Bu Yao had done wrong, two servants brought Bu Yao up, and Bu Yao obediently knelt down.

"Bu Yao, do you know what you've done wrong?" Xia Tongsheng asked seriously, her voice filled with anger!

"This servant does not know!" Buyao said timidly.

"Don't know? Good! Very good!" Although Xia Tongsheng appeared stern, he was quite satisfied with Bu Yao's performance! This child really knows how to help him with his acting!

"I'm asking you, did you spread the rumor that I kicked the prince out of bed?"

The hairpin first feigned surprise, then lowered its head and said somewhat fearfully, "Yes!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

She immediately kowtowed and admitted her mistake, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I saw the Prince hurriedly leave with the clothes, so I thought..."

With her head bowed and eyes downcast, coupled with her gentle, water-like appearance, she looked utterly pitiful!
