The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Seeing Min Yanyue's hopeful expression, Xia Tongsheng was truly torn. If she wrote it, the child would be disappointed when he saw her handwriting; if she didn't write it, the child would also be disappointed.

She could only place her hopes on Min You'an, "Isn't Your Highness afraid that I will lead Yue'er astray?"

"I have the ability to bring him back!" His tone was full of confidence!

Holy crap, is this blatant contempt?

If you're stuck in a difficult situation, then don't get off. It's just writing a character, what's so hard about it? I used to do at least a thousand words of Chinese homework every day.

She smiled sheepishly, took a deep breath, and wrote the character "一" (one). To her surprise, she wrote it quite well! She secretly rejoiced!

But if you can't even write the character "一" properly, what a disaster that would be!

"Continue!" Min Youan was determined to embarrass her!

Xia Tongsheng simply wrote out all the numbers: "two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten"!

Individually, they're passable, but when all these words are put together on one piece of paper, they just look so ugly!

"Mother, your handwriting is unique, and every stroke is worth learning for me!"

A flock of crows flew over Xia Tongsheng's forehead. "Yue'er, you really don't need to be so supportive!"

Then she lectured him, "Besides, if you lie, your nose will grow longer! Children aren't allowed to lie, understand?"

"Some lies must be told; without lies, the world would be in chaos!"

Xia Tongsheng looked at Min Youan speechlessly. "What the hell? Is this how you teach a child to lie? He's obviously trying to go against the grain!"

She glanced at Min Yanyue, pulled Min Youan aside, and pointed out the seriousness of the problem, "Your Highness, why are you contradicting me? We can't teach children like this!"

Unexpectedly, Min Youan didn't seem to care. "He's not an ordinary child. He's the future king. He doesn't need to be innocent!"

"But what if he goes astray if you do this? Children need to be kind and have good values!"

Min Youan put his hands behind his back and said, "In the struggle for the throne, all the kind princes died! If you want to teach, then have one yourself!"

Xia Tongsheng yelled, "Hey, I'm not hermaphroditic, how can I give birth to myself?"

"Oh, I can help you!" A gust of autumn wind blew by, leaves fell with the wind, and his hair rose in the wind. She was somewhat lost in thought as she watched all of this.

Another gust of autumn wind blew, and strands of his hair brushed against her face, tickling her and bringing her back to her senses. "Never mind!"

She rejected him once again.

Min Yoo-an was about to say something when he was interrupted.

A clear voice rang out, "Cousin!"

Min Youan didn't even look up, but he knew this person was Li Fuqi, because she was the only one in the entire mansion who called him cousin. "What's wrong?"

"Cousin, I've come to see Yue'er," she said, walking towards Yue'er's study without regard for Yue'er's studies.

Not long after, she came out from inside with a not-so-good look on her face. Xia Tongsheng could tell at a glance that Li Fuqi must have been humiliated by Yue'er.

Upon seeing Min Youan, she immediately regained her energy. "Cousin, what would you like for lunch tonight? I'll make it for you!"

"No need, I have business to attend to at noon!"

Xia Tongsheng thought to herself, "No wonder Min Youan rejected you. You're someone who's never lifted a finger in the kitchen. Would anyone dare to eat the food you make?"

However, this scene, resembling a wife and mistress, is not one I can linger in. What if there's a bloody accident? "Your Highness, I have matters to attend to in my room, so I'll return first!"

With that, she stood up, curtsied, and left with Yingling.

Seeing that Xia Tongsheng had tactfully left, Li Fuqi also relaxed, first stepping forward to hug Min Youan's arm, "Cousin, you went to Baiyue, which was so dangerous, were you hurt?"

Min Youan subtly pulled her arm away from Li Fuqi's embrace. "No!"

Li Fuqi went even further this time, throwing herself into his arms, "Cousin, you have no idea how worried I was about you!"

Min Youan finally couldn't take it anymore and said with some displeasure, "What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging like this, if Yue'er sees it! Come out with me!"

Min Youan led her to a pond in the garden and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

Li Fuqi looked up at Min Youan's handsome face, her heart fluttering. "I just feel wronged that Your Highness has visited Consort Xue and the Princess's courtyards, but has never come to mine!"

Min Youan felt he should make things clear to her, so he looked at Li Fuqi and said, "You should know that I only have brotherly and sisterly feelings for you!"

Li Fuqi's eyes were filled with tears. "But my feelings for you are romantic! I went to great lengths to marry you, not so that you would abandon me in the mansion and ignore me!"

Mentioning this matter, Min Youan felt somewhat guilty, "You were the one who insisted on marrying me back then, you should have thought of these things long ago! Instead of complaining now!"

"I thought that as long as I treated you well, you would be moved and we could be together! But since we got married, you've either gone off to war or refused to see me. What did I do wrong?"

Min Youan couldn't help but sigh, "It's not your fault!"

"Min You'an, what is it about me that makes me unworthy of you? I am the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, my mother is your aunt, and I am a princess. How am I inferior to any of them in terms of status?"

"Fuqi, that's exactly right. That's why I can't harm you! If one day you meet someone you like, at least you'll still have a pure body. That's the only thing I can do for you!"

After saying that, Min Youan turned and left. Although he didn't love Li Fuqi, he had to treat her well both emotionally and logically.

She slowly crouched down, facing his retreating figure, and silently wept, "Cousin!"

Mo Zhu stepped forward to support her, saying with some heartache, "Princess, it's time to give up!"

Li Fuqi shook her head fiercely, her demeanor no longer as spoiled and domineering as before. "I won't give up. As long as I continue to protect him, one day, my cousin will definitely fall in love with me, right?"

"Princess, why are you doing this to yourself?"

Li Fuqi leaned weakly on Mozhu's shoulder, "In your eyes, it's painful for me to keep guarding him like this, but it's even more painful for me to give him up!"

Seeing her like this, Mo Zhu felt a pang of pain in her heart. She had followed Li Fuqi for many years and she knew her well. Although she was arrogant and willful, she was not a bad person. She was just a spoiled little girl!

Because Xia Tongsheng's father had promised to help Min Youan, the next morning, Min Youan specially took Xia Tongsheng back to the General's Mansion to visit Xia Xiuyong.

At that moment, Xia Xiuyong's attitude towards Min Youan changed completely; he became incredibly enthusiastic, saying, "Your Highness, please come to the study!"

"Girl, it's been so long since I've had a meal cooked by you. Today, you cook braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs!"

Xia Tongsheng had already seen through her father's little scheme. "Dad, are you trying to get rid of me? They say daughters are their fathers' sweethearts from a past life, but it feels like I'm your enemy from a past life!"

"It's alright, let her hear it!"
