The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Granny Gui knocked on the door, "Your Highness and Your Highness, it's time to get up!"

Xia Tongsheng opened the door, and Granny Gui entered with a basin of water for washing her face. She deliberately glanced at the bed a few times, and only when she saw the bloodstains on the bed did she feel slightly satisfied.

Xia Tongsheng saw all of this.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please wash up first. This old servant will help you make your beds!"

Xia Tongsheng reacted strongly to the idea of ​​making the bed, partly because she was worried about the moisture evaporating and partly because she was afraid that Xia Tongsheng would notice something was wrong. "No need. Call Yingling over. Go and rest. I'm not used to being waited on by others!"

Min Youan is now on the same side as Xia Tongsheng, so she naturally speaks up for her, "Granny, you can go down now."

Upon hearing that the prince had spoken, Granny Gui didn't dare linger and left.

Yingling helped them make the bed, changed the sheets, and then took out the water for washing their faces.

"Change!"

Xia Tongsheng glanced at him and couldn't help but think to herself, "I need help taking off my clothes, and I need help putting them on. Are your hands just for decoration?"

She thought this in her heart, but dared not say it out loud. She obediently went to help him change his clothes!

The two had just changed their clothes and were about to enter the palace to pay their respects when an uninvited guest arrived...

She was dressed in white, without any makeup, and looked slightly tired, as if she hadn't slept all night! But even though she didn't look like she was wearing makeup, who knows if it was a genuine bare face or just an act?

Just like those female celebrities nowadays, they always claim to appear on camera without makeup, but they usually wear foundation.

She bowed delicately, "Your Highness, Sister!"

Xia Tongsheng was surprised that she couldn't hold back so quickly and actually ran to her courtyard. She couldn't help but sneer. Xia Tongsheng was a vengeful person. She remembered clearly that on her wedding day, the person in front of her was responsible for bringing shame to her and the Xia family.

If you can't beat the big boss, can't you at least beat the small one? She can't touch Prince An, but this woman...

"Sister? I don't remember having a sister like you! Just call me Princess, it sounds more familiar to me..."

Where does this logic come from? Why is the way the princess is addressed more affectionately than the way the elder sister is addressed?

Seeing Xia Tongsheng making things difficult for Gu Xue, Min Youan was somewhat displeased. He glared at Xia Tongsheng and warned her, the ruthlessness in his eyes was self-evident.

Seeing that Xia Tongsheng remained silent, he asked Gu Xue, still indifferently, "Why are you here?"

However, compared to the tone he used when speaking to Xia Tongsheng, this light tone was already considered gentle!

Xia Tongsheng rolled her eyes at Min Youan's cautious manner. It really proved the saying, "There are no cold men in the world, it's just that he's not warm to you!"

Gu Xue's eyes reddened, looking like a wronged wife. "I was thinking that you and my sister, and the Princess Consort, were going to the palace to pay respects to Father and Mother, and might not have time to eat breakfast, so I prepared it early and brought it over."

Xia Tongsheng sighed silently in his heart. Indeed, acting is an art. The woman in front of him said she was worried that they would not have time to eat breakfast. What she really meant was to tell Min Youan.

Because he didn't go to her room, she didn't sleep all night and specially made breakfast for him. Wasn't she just trying to make Min Youan feel sorry for her?

Sure enough, this kind of seemingly innocent but actually scheming woman is the hardest to deal with. If there were an Oscar for Best Innocent Woman, she would definitely be the winner.

"Okay, put it here, you can go back now!"

"Your Highness!" Her voice was so soft and sweet as she called him "Your Highness."

Xia Tongsheng, who was standing to the side, got goosebumps all over her body. She really couldn't stay any longer, otherwise the acid-secreting cells of her gastric glands would start to function abnormally, which meant she would vomit!

"You two can chat slowly, I'll go wait in the carriage!" With that, she shuddered and ran outside.

As soon as she stepped outside, she shouted, "Yingling is gone, hurry up!" as if she were fleeing.

They say a woman who knows how to be charming has the best life, but it seems I'll never learn this skill in this lifetime—no, in these two lifetimes! What a failure!

Min Youan watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.

"Your Highness, please eat something." Then she reached out to feed him.

Min Youan looked at the pastries in front of him, his expression darkened slightly, his brows furrowed, and he reached out to block them.

Gu Xue immediately understood and subtly lowered her hand, saying, "Then Your Highness should go find my sister first, so as not to keep her waiting!"

"Hmm!" Then he strode away.

Gu Xue watched his departing figure, her originally fair face turning red with anger, her eyes glaring ahead, "Xia Tongsheng, I will never let you get away with this."

Xia Tongsheng ran all the way to the front gate. Yingling, panting, couldn't help but say, "Miss, you looked like you were running away in a panic!"

"How could I possibly run away in a panic? I was just afraid I'd throw up!"

"I thought you were afraid of the concubine!"

"Are you kidding me? Who has your young lady ever been afraid of! Let me tell you, let alone Consort Xue, even if it's Prince An, if I'm afraid of him, I'm not Xia Tongsheng!"

Xia Tongsheng was bragging and didn't notice Min Youan behind her, nor did she notice Yingling who kept giving her meaningful glances.

Seeing the prince's ashen face, Yingling bit her lip helplessly and silently prayed, "Miss, may you have good fortune."

Then he dashed to the carriage shaft and chatted with the coachman about poetry, songs, and philosophy of life, so as not to get caught in the crossfire.

"Yingling, why did you run away?" Xia Tongsheng said, and was about to chase after her.

But just as she lifted her foot, ready to sprint at the speed of a 100-meter race, her arm was grabbed. "Damn it, who's interfering with my winning the 100-meter championship?" She turned around and met Min Youan's angry eyes.

I chickened out...

Her attitude in admitting her mistake was very good: "Your Highness, I was wrong!"

Min Youan ignored her pleas for mercy and pinned her against the door. "Weren't you afraid of me?"

It seemed he had heard what she said; no wonder he was so angry. But she had to keep her lie even if she cried; she absolutely couldn't let him look down on her. She composed herself and said with a smile, "Of course, I'm not afraid of Your Highness."

She felt his grip tighten as soon as she finished speaking; it felt like her bones were about to break! She thought, "Damn it, doesn't he know how to be gentle with a woman?!"

Min You'an was clearly still holding a grudge. Her arm was throbbing as if it were about to break, but she immediately continued, "Your Majesty, I am your wife. Of course, I respect you. How could I be afraid of you?"

Min Youan sneered, loosening his grip on her right hand and stroking her face with his left. If there had been a hint of a smile on his face, the scene would have been incredibly romantic.

But his face showed not a smile, not even the slightest ripple of emotion. "Wife?"

Xia Tongsheng nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he was thinking, "Damn it, you pervert, you're about to strangle me and you're still flirting?"

Min Youan released her and got into the carriage first. Xia Tongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and slumped against the door. She didn't get into the carriage until Yingling called her.

The atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward with the two of them in such a cramped carriage.
