The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Li Fuqi turned to look at her, then peered into the training courtyard, her mind completely focused on the area. "What's wrong? Can't I stay here?"

"Fine, you can be wherever you want. I'm just curious, why did you, a lady from a respectable family, end up here instead of cultivating your character in your own courtyard? Could it be that something here has captured your heart?" Xia Tongsheng's fingernails traced across her chest, making Li Fuqi feel ticklish, so she slapped her hand away!

"Just talk, why do you always have to get physical!"

"Oh, what's wrong? I also tried to touch you inappropriately back then, and I didn't see you react this strongly! What's wrong now? Are you afraid that others will be jealous if they see us?" She deliberately peeked into the training courtyard.

Li Fuqi blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but her gaze remained fixed on the person she wanted to meet!

This is a bit awkward, as the two most powerful women in the Prince's mansion are now guarding the guards' training ground and unwilling to leave!

This scene is truly a once-in-a-century event!

The guards in the courtyard appeared extremely awkward and nervous as they went in and out. Even a grown man could move with the shuffling steps of a woman!

Xia Tongsheng pulled Li Fuqi aside, "Come on, let's talk?"

"No, I'm waiting for someone!" Li Fuqi refused Xia Tongsheng's invitation without hesitation and continued to wait at the door!

Fortunately, it's summer now and the weather is relatively warm. If it were winter, it would have frozen Li Fuqi's restless heart to death!

This person isn't yours anyway, there's no point in waiting!

Xia Tongsheng stood up and tried to pull Li Fuqi away. "Child, let me give you some advice. Look, you've been waiting until it's dark and he still hasn't come out. It's obvious that the man inside doesn't want to see you. There's no point in you waiting here; you're just feeding the mosquitoes!"

Li Fuqi is such a difficult person to persuade. If she had listened to advice back then, she wouldn't have insisted on marrying Min Youan regardless of the consequences. Now it seems that this child's stubbornness has resurfaced.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a man waiting outside this courtyard who never shows up. Before it was Min You'an, and now it's Cang Ling. That's how the world is; no one will like someone forever!

Back then, Li Fuqi was head over heels in love with Min Youan, but now, she probably doesn't feel the same way anymore when she sees him!

How long does love actually last? All those vows of eternal love are just empty words uttered during an adrenaline rush!

Xia Tongsheng doesn't believe in eternal love. All love will fade with time and slowly turn into kinship. What maintains this kinship may be blood ties, gratitude, or habit!

She sighed and asked, "Are you really not planning to leave?"

"Alright!" Xia Tongsheng looked at Mo Zhu, "Mo Zhu, how are you taking care of your young lady? It's so hot, why don't you get her some water, some food, or a chair?"

"This," Mo Zhu said, still somewhat embarrassed, "Your Highness, you don't know, it was the Princess who refused! She said that only by doing this could Cang Ling see her true feelings!"

What kind of nonsense is this!

Does standing for long periods of time without eating or drinking really make the person you like fall in love with you?

If that were truly possible, where in this world would there be so many lovesick men and women?

"Since your master doesn't want it, then go find me some, I need it!"

Mo Zhu glanced at Ying Ling. Wasn't the princess's maid standing right here?

Why do you have to make yourself do all the work?

Is it because I'm good-looking?

Mo Zhu touched her face. She could still recognize herself very well. She thought that her appearance shouldn't be so obvious that others could recognize her at a glance.

However, Mo Zhu was just a lowly maid, and even if she didn't want to go, she couldn't refuse.

Xia Tongsheng is, after all, a princess. How could a mere maid like myself possibly stand up to a princess?

In the end, I had no choice but to obediently do what I was told!

Seeing that Mo Zhu had walked away, Xia Tongsheng crossed her arms and pretended to be heartbroken, accusing Li Fuqi, "Li Fuqi, you heartless bastard!"

"What's wrong with me? How am I heartless?" Ever since she came to this realization, she felt that she was a good person and that her conscience was much stronger!

"Now that I've gotten Mozhu away, you can tell me the truth now. Why didn't you tell me about your relationship with Cangling sooner?"

Her resentment was like that of two very close best friends, one of whom didn't tell the other about their relationship.

"Why should I tell you? Do you expect me to stop you?"

Li Fuqi felt that she was good in every way, except that she had bad taste in men!

Back then, she fell for the prince, but his heart couldn't accept any other woman but Xia Tongsheng. She finally gave up hope, but then, out of nowhere, Cang Ling appeared in her life!

She finally opened her heart to a man again, but unfortunately, he was scared away by her confession!

What exactly does Cangling mean?

"Tell me, what is it about me, the daughter of the Prime Minister and the only daughter of the current Princess, that makes me unworthy of him?" Li Fuqi just couldn't understand what she was lacking compared to other women. Why was he avoiding her like this?

But Xia Tongsheng understood that what Cangling feared most was Li Fuqi's identity!

No one understands Cang Ling's thoughts better than Xia Tongsheng!

Even if he fell in love with Li Fuqi, given Li Fuqi's status—a high-ranking princess and a mere guard...

"When did you start liking him?" Xia Tongsheng couldn't help but ask, "When did you start gossiping?"

"I don't remember when it started, but I started noticing this man after that sports meet you organized last time!"

Damn, I never thought that my sports meet wouldn't cause those seven gourd brothers to cheat on me, but instead brought spring to Li Fuqi!

"Have you thought it through? Have you considered the consequences?"

She knew that Li Fuqi was too impulsive and didn't pay much attention to the consequences.

What's more, after all that she did today, she's practically announcing her relationship with the guard to the whole world! And it was she who actively pursued him, Xia Tongsheng is really having a headache!

It's estimated that it won't be long before the Eldest Princess brings people to the Prince's Mansion to see Cang Ling!

"I've thought it through. I'm not a little girl in my teens anymore!" After experiencing so much, it's not just Xia Tongsheng who has matured, but also Li Fuqi, this silly older sister!

Everyone has the right to pursue love, and I won't stop you!

Looking at the determination in Li Fuqi's eyes, Xia Tongsheng thought to himself, "This is also a good opportunity!"
