The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"What good is being afraid? The whole palace already knows that Consort Fu confessed her feelings to you. What are you going to do about it?"

"What should I do? I'll just have to see how it goes!" What can he do if someone likes him?

Could it be that simply offering earnest advice and persuasion to Consort Fu would resolve the current predicament?

That's wishful thinking!

Fortunately, Consort Fu had already left, allowing him to enjoy a moment of peace. He casually lay down on the bed and crossed his legs!

Seeing how relaxed he was, Cang Jue seemed to be watching a joke unfold. "I have good news and bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news!" Knowing Cangjue's tricks well, he naturally chose to hear the less pleasant news first.

"The bad news is that the Prince knows about Consort Fu's pursuit of you!"

"The prince just left here. Do you think I don't know that the prince already knows? Do I need you to tell me?" Can't you give me some real information?

"What's the good news?"

"The good news is..." he paused deliberately, "...the Princess wants you to go to the East Garden to see her tomorrow!"

Cang Ling suddenly sprang up from the bed with a somersault. "What? The Princess Consort wants me to go find her? Doesn't that mean she wants me to see Consort Fu? What great news!"

As expected, despite all the precautions and calculations, I still fell for Cang Jue's trick...

Cang Jue chuckled and said, "Whether you go or not is none of my business, but I've already delivered the message!"

"Friendly reminder: I advise you not to go against the Princess, or you'll regret it! Don't forget, the Princess's backer is the Prince!"

Before leaving, Cang Jue specifically shared his experiences over the years with Cang Ling.

Cang Ling immediately understood what Cang Jue meant by those words!

This was just a warning to him: the prince is protecting the princess, and if he offends her, he won't have a good time.

Should I offend the prince or meet the princess? Comparing the two matters, it's immediately clear which is more important!

Of course, it's about exchanging temporary unhappiness for long-term stability.

Cang Ling quickly dressed and rushed to the East Garden to see Xia Tongsheng!

Cang Jue immediately grabbed him, "Where are you going so late?"

"Go see the Princess!"

"Cangling, what's wrong with your brain? Didn't you see the prince and princess leaving together just now?"

He looked at Cang Ling as if he were mentally challenged, and once again wondered how this kid had gotten into the Prince's mansion in the first place.

If he hadn't known that the selection of guards for the Prince's Palace involved rigorous screening and assessment, he would have suspected that Cang Ling must have gotten the position through connections!

"So what if I saw it?"

With the attitude that everyone has a responsibility to protect the mentally challenged, Cang Jue patiently explained.

"It's so late. The prince and princess left together, so they must be getting ready for bed now, right?"

He looked at Cang Ling with a sincere expression, and the latter nodded earnestly in return.

"If you go now and see something you shouldn't, won't you suffer a terrible death?" He raised an eyebrow and continued to tempt him.

Cang Ling finally understood what he meant by "shouldn't have seen"!

"I just didn't react for a moment!"

Cang Ling isn't stupid; in fact, she's very clever. It's just that she was frightened by Li Fuqi today, so her mind hasn't quite caught up yet.

The next morning, Cang Ling went to see Xia Tongsheng while the prince was attending the morning court session.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Xia Tongsheng had Yingling lift the curtain of the inner room, and pointed to the person beside her, "I'm here to talk to you about this!"

Cang Ling gritted her teeth. It seemed she had dodged the first day of the month but couldn't dodge the fifteenth!

He stepped forward somewhat woodenly, as if his feet were weighed down by a massive boulder. "Your subordinate pays respects to Consort Fu!"

The more respectful he was to her, the angrier Li Fuqi became. In a fit of anger, she plopped down on his back and refused to get up!

"Since you're willing to worship me, then worship me!"

Xia Tongsheng found this scene quite amusing!

A mischievous smile played on his lips. "Cang Ling, how exactly did you manage to provoke our little girl?"

"Your Highness, I swear to God, I have never done anything improper to Consort Fu!"

"Then why did our Consort Fu become so attached to you?" Xia Tongsheng asked, holding a cup of tea and watching the spectacle unfold.

"Your Highness, wasn't this just some sports meet you organized back then!"

He only took extra care of her at the sports meet, how did it turn out like this!

If I had known, I shouldn't have joked around with her and accidentally hurt her. What I shouldn't have done was feel guilty and take care of her!

"Alright," Xia Tongsheng pulled Li Fuqi away from Cang Ling! "Look at how willful and capricious you are, who would dare to like you! Don't scare Cang Ling!"

"I don't care, I've fallen for him now, so he has to be mine!"

"You have to? That sounds like something a street thug would say!" So domineering!

Xia Tongsheng just hoped that Li Fuqi exuded domineering aura rather than aunt-like behavior...

"You like her and want to pursue her, but you have to take it slow. You can't get fat in one bite!"

Li Fuqi glanced at Cang Ling and snorted coldly.

"Don't worry about this for now, leave it to me, I'll handle it!"

Xia Tongsheng pulled Li Fuqi aside and whispered a few words to her!

Cang Ling, standing to the side, couldn't hear what the two of them were saying, but could vaguely make out something about a fragrance!

After Xia Tongsheng persuaded Li Fuqi to leave, she circled around Cang Ling's body repeatedly!

It was as if they were examining his body!

What does this princess mean by sending Consort Fu away? Does she want to have her all to herself?

I've really witnessed a fake sisterhood!

Cang Ling had to be on guard against Xia Tongsheng at all times. "Your Highness, the Prince will be back soon!"

"I know! So we'll finish this quickly?" Xia Tongsheng's eyes gleamed.

A quick victory? Just how many women has he offended? "Your Highness, please show some respect. I am not a casual person!"

Xia Tongsheng never expected that Cang Ling would think of that!

What on earth is going on in Cang Ling's head all day? She immediately gave him a flick on the forehead, "What are you thinking! Even if you're a casual person, I'm not!"

She already has enough with the prince; what she needs more of now is Li Fuqi!

"What does the princess mean by that?"

"I want you to hurry up and give the guards in the manor a lesson!"

Cangling exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly declined.

"Your Highness, I am of limited knowledge and learning, how could I possibly teach the brothers of the Prince's Mansion!"

He himself had hardly ever attended a proper private school, so how could he possibly teach the guards!

Could it be that this princess is deliberately trying to retaliate against him for seducing Consort Fu and damaging the reputation of the royal family, and is trying to make him lose face?
