The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Min Youan glanced at him. "That's kind of you, but next time, discuss it with me beforehand! Otherwise, you might be in trouble!"

Feng Yuhan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm just a minor tutor. Who would bother with me? Besides, the Feng family isn't easy to bully!"

"Don't be so smug. The Crown Prince isn't as simple as you think. They might have gotten in touch with the Ancient King!"

Feng Yuhan was astonished, "Ah! The Crown Prince is actually so powerful!"

“Okay!” Min Youan nodded.

The two chatted casually until they reached the palace gate, when suddenly Feng Yuhan abruptly asked, "How long have we been out of court?"

"About fifteen minutes!"

Feng Yuhan exclaimed, "My God, it's been so long! I have to get going!" and then ran off like the wind!

Cang Jue heard Feng Yuhan's voice from afar, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon after he saw him. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Isn't this all the work of your prince? My fiancée is waiting for me at home. If I'm even a stick late, I have to run ten miles. It's no big deal for you, but it's going to kill me!"

Min Youan maintained his cold expression, "That's good, take this opportunity to get some exercise!"

"You have no idea, she has new demands on me every day. Haven't you noticed that I can run much faster than before!"

Watching Feng Yuhan's frantic running figure, Cang Jue couldn't help but laugh, even though he was being rather unkind. "Your Highness has really come up with a good idea! I heard from the steward that Young Master Feng hasn't been to the Prince's residence for half a month!"

Min Youan raised an eyebrow. "Let's go!"

He had only taken two steps when he bumped into Xia Xiuyong. "Your Highness!"

"General Xia!"

"It just so happens that I was just about to escort my daughter back to the Prince's residence!"

Min Youan nodded. "Okay."

"Won't Your Highness accompany me?" Xia Xiuyong asked.

"No!" Min Youan refused. He felt that he had treated her too differently, which had made her act unruly.

"I've thought about what my daughter told me yesterday, and I agree!"

Min Yoo-an nodded again, "Yes!"

Xia Xiuyong hadn't expected the prince's reaction to be so cold, and he really didn't know how to respond.

Even Cang Jue, who always prided himself on understanding Min You'an, couldn't understand the prince's meaning. Wasn't he usually so passionate about the Xia family? Why was he so cold today?

The two walked together for a short while before parting ways because they weren't going the same way.

Min Youan returned to the Prince's Mansion, intending to visit Min Yanyue since he hadn't seen him for several days. However, upon arriving at the gate, he found Xia Tongsheng playing happily with his son.

The scene was so beautiful. Min Youan stood quietly outside the door. Over the past few days, he could clearly feel the changes in Xia Tongsheng's feelings for him. He could clearly feel that he had developed a little more affection for Xia Tongsheng.

But his path had already been predetermined, so he couldn't afford to do anything against the grain. He shouldn't possess something as ethereal and intangible as love, which couldn't be eaten or drunk.

Therefore, he must nip love in the bud before it arrives.

Thinking of this, he lifted his foot to leave, but Min Yanyue spotted him first.

"Father!"

Min Youan stopped in his tracks. "Hmm!"

"Your Highness!" Xia Tongsheng lowered her head and looked extremely docile, but that was only because she hadn't slapped him yesterday!

It was no secret that Min Youan held grudges, and Xia Tongsheng had long expected him to ignore her. So, she didn't mind that Min Youan was treating her like air.

"Father, Mother is telling me about the Hundred Readings. You are all really amazing!"

"Hmm? Tell me how amazing it is?"

Min Yanyue laid out her insights in a structured manner, demonstrating outstanding logical thinking and perspective.

Min Youan hadn't expected that in just one month, this child could see things so deeply and clearly. "Yue'er, are these your own thoughts?"

"My mother often taught me how to be a person and how to be a ruler, so I know it!"

"Yes! Excellent performance!" Min Youan praised Min Yanyue without reservation.

Upon receiving praise from Min You'an, Min Yanyue was overjoyed. "Father, are you praising your son?"

Min Youan maintained his composed expression, "Yes!"

Xia Tongsheng felt that his attitude towards Min Yanyue and his attitude towards Min Shili were completely opposite, one was extremely cold and indifferent, and the other was extremely doting.

While it's true that daughters should be raised with plenty and sons with hardship, the difference shouldn't be this huge. It seems I should have a daughter in the future!

Thinking of this, Xia Tongsheng was a little surprised. What was he thinking? How did he come up with the idea of ​​having a child with him?

She was startled! She quickly banished this absurd thought from her mind.

Min Youan glanced at Xia Tongsheng, then led Min Yanyue into the room to read "Guofeng" (a book on traditional Chinese culture), while Xia Tongsheng talked to Yingling in the courtyard. Min Youan stayed with Min Yanyue for a while before coming over to find Xia Tongsheng.

Upon seeing him arrive, Xia Tongsheng immediately stood up. Remembering what happened yesterday, she was afraid that Min Youan would get angry and affect Yingling, so she quickly told Yingling to stay away, while she stood quietly to the side.

Unexpectedly, he spoke first, "Your father agreed!"

"Ah! He was adamant about not agreeing last night, how come he agreed today? Your Highness wouldn't be lying to me, would he!"

"He told me that himself this morning!"

Xia Tongsheng complained, "Hmph, he's so unfair!"

However, upon reflection, the agreement was reached, and her feelings were quite different. "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my promise. Please remember your promise, and let us treat each other with respect and not disturb each other!"

Min Youan had only told her that he wanted to stop her from worrying about it, but he hadn't expected her first thought to be this. With a cold look in her eyes, she said, "You hate me that much!"

Xia Tongsheng smiled and said, "What are you saying, Your Highness? I don't dislike you, I just dislike the title 'Your Highness'!"

Sure enough, having leverage in her hands, she seemed to speak with more confidence. In the past, she would never have dared to say that she disliked the prince.

However, she miscalculated. Was Min Youan someone who could be threatened?

He called out to Min Yanyue's study, "Yue'er, your mother said she wants to teach you calligraphy!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you!" Xia Tongsheng glared at him angrily. He knew perfectly well that her handwriting was terrible, yet she still said such things. It was clearly an attempt to get revenge!

Min Yanyue was overjoyed. She grabbed a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and ran over, saying, "Mother, please teach me!"

It seems that the perfect image I've painstakingly built in front of Min Yanyue is about to be shattered today!

Xia Tongsheng chuckled and said, "Yue'er, your mother here has a natural deficiency when it comes to writing!"

"It's alright, the handwriting reflects the person, Your Highness, write boldly!" Min Youan continued to watch the spectacle from the sidelines.

"The handwriting reflects the person"—is this self-praise or self-criticism?
