Did the Seventh Prince attend court today?

Of course, Youlu wouldn't refuse such a small favor as sending clothes.

Cang Shuyue's luggage had just been delivered; it was a small bundle placed on the table in front of him. You Lu stepped forward without hesitation and opened the bundle, finding only two sets of clothes inside, both black, including his nightgowns.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Even his pajamas are black. What a waste of such a good-looking face. It's such a terrible mishap."

Pixiu's eyes were brighter than light bulbs, staring intently at its boss's every move, its mind racing with uncontrollable thoughts.

Those who have read the novel should know that scenes like handing clothes to a couple during a bath, once they happen to a couple in the early stages of a relationship, will definitely escalate into something like showing off abs, slipping and falling, then pinching waist and wall-slamming, and if things progress faster, they might even go all the way to... well, you know.

Just thinking about Pixiu makes my brain spin and I feel like I'm ascending to heaven on the spot.

【Go, boss!】 The Pixiu excitedly clenched its paws. Every step the deer took as it approached the screen tickled its sugar-loving nerves, making it unbearably itchy.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The screen is right there, and the abs are within reach!

Then it saw its boss hang the clothes on the screen with his eyes closed, blushing, and run back to bed.

brave troops:???

That's it? That's it?!

Where's the wall slam? Where's the kiss? No sweet nothings, not even a kiss?!

The Pixiu roared to the sky, pounded its chest, and stamped its feet. It ran to its leader and demanded: "I gave you a chance, but you was useless! With such beauty before you, why didn't you push aside the screen? Why didn't you go for it?! You've disappointed the beasts so much!"

Youlu patted her burning cheeks and explained righteously, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. Cang Shuyue's sudden action was clearly a test. He definitely remembers what I said about wanting to molest him, so he's using this opportunity to test me, to see if I really have any improper thoughts about him. If I had really been captivated by his good looks, it would have been a disaster."

I still need to ask him to suppress the bandits, so I can't afford to anger him at this critical juncture.

Pixiu nearly coughed up blood, clutching his chest and lamenting, "[It's my fault, I misled you, making you think he hates you. The beast's candy, the beast himself ruined it, waaaaah...]"

A deer glanced at it and said, "What are you mumbling about? You're acting really strange today. Did you go out and eat something weird?"

[No, the beast just feels that Cang Shuyue isn't testing you, but seducing you.] The Pixiu struggled, trying to correct his thoughts and make up for his mistake.

Youlu became increasingly puzzled. "Why would he try to seduce me? You must have an upset stomach; you've been talking nonsense all night. Come here, let me rub it for you."

He grabbed the Pixiu and pulled it into his arms, rubbing its round little belly.

The Pixiu lay listlessly in his arms, its eyes devoid of light.

It has now fully grasped the meaning of the saying, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be forgiven."

Behind the screen, Cang Shuyue stretched out his arms, leaned against the bathtub, and closed his eyes to rest. The steam blurred his well-defined features, and his eyelashes trembled slightly beneath his dark, sword-like eyebrows.

Familiar footsteps approached; it was the boy bringing clothes. His arms, which were draped over the edge of the bathtub, tensed suddenly. He took a deep breath and was about to turn around and stand up when he saw his nightgown being draped over the screen, and the footsteps pattering away into the distance.

"..." Cang Shuyue remained frozen in the water, his eyes, moistened by the water vapor, filled with doubt.

But this slight doubt was quickly replaced by understanding.

Surprisingly, the baby, who seems wild and bold, is actually a shy and well-behaved child.

It's not that he didn't want to see me; he was afraid of offending me, and it was out of respect for me.

So cute.

As Cang Shu thought about it, her heart felt as if it had been soaked in honey, sweet and soft.

After drying himself off and getting dressed, Cang Shuyue walked around the screen and came out. In the candlelight, the boy was lying on the bed with his chin propped up, his cheeks puffing out as he imitated the croaking of a small melon. The room was filled with the croaking of frogs.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon seeing him emerge, Youlu immediately fawned over him, waving eagerly, "Come here, come here, let me dry your hair!"

Cang Shuyue nodded happily, "Okay."

He walked to the bedside and sat down. Youlu immediately took out a dry handkerchief, wrapped it around his head, and rubbed it vigorously. When the handkerchief was removed, his long, straight black hair had turned into a bird's nest.

Pixiu: 【…You know how to insult people.】

You Lu seemed a little guilty, but remained defiant, saying, "What do you know? This way it's faster. Cang Shuyue didn't even say anything, so what are you yelling about?"

Pixiu glanced at Cang Shuyue and saw him enjoying himself. It couldn't help but roll its eyes. Well, it was its fault for being nosy. They were both willing to hit and willing to be hit.

It's okay if your hair is messy, just comb it.

Cang Shuyue's hair has a great texture; it's black and shiny, and it's easy to comb. You Lu originally just wanted to fix it, but she got hooked on touching it and kept tugging at a tuft of hair to play with it.

"Brother Imperial Brother, how do you maintain your hair? It feels so good." He praised without reservation.

Cang Shuyue's heart was burning with passion.

He complimented my hair; he wanted to tie our hair together.

Although the speed is a bit fast, it's not unacceptable.

He reached out and pulled the person into his arms. Cang Shuyue cleared his throat, pressed his lips together, and said softly, "This matter still needs to be discussed with my elder sister. I will write a letter tomorrow to ask for her opinion."

You Lu was completely confused. He had only complimented his hair, so why did he need to ask the Empress for permission?

Are all sister-complex people this stream-of-consciousness?

Unable to figure it out, he simply put the question aside, grabbed Cang Shuyue's collar, and said seriously, "Brother Imperial Brother, I have something very important to tell you!"

Now that we've finished the flattery, it's time to get down to business.

"Hmm, go ahead." Cang Shuyue leaned down and pressed her cheek against his, her face full of tenderness and affection.

"There are river pirates in Xiangyang!"

"I miss my baby too."

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

You Lu was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and replied in response, "I miss you too."

He even blinked innocently, his face full of sincerity and expectation, and asked, "So, about the water bandits?"

Pixiu slapped himself on the head, never expecting that his boss was such a career-driven person, while Cang Shuyue was such a love-obsessed person.

Cang Shuyue glanced at the person in front of him strangely, feeling that the phrase "I miss you" was somewhat perfunctory, but he quickly convinced himself that a country must come before a family, and that Bao Bao did all this so that they could be together better.

The baby has a strong sense of justice and the demeanor of his elder sister; no wonder she likes him.

Without hesitation, he said, "It is our duty to rid the people of this scourge. Tomorrow I will go to the garrison camp in Xiangyang and mobilize troops to wipe out the river bandits."

Youlu was quite surprised and kicked the Pixiu's butt when Cang Shuyue wasn't paying attention.

He agreed so readily; I was worried he wouldn't be willing to do anything for Dayong. It turns out I was being narrow-minded. Now it seems that although he dislikes the Emperor and always tries to oppose him, he actually cares about Dayong.

[Hehe, the process doesn't matter, as long as the result is good. I think Cang Shuyue will definitely not betray Dayong in the future, I guarantee it!] Pixiu said with certainty.

Since you've said that, it seems the Emperor's brother-in-law can be trusted.

Youlu stroked his chin, clenched his fist excitedly, and exclaimed, "Yay! The Rescuers team has gained another powerful member!"

Cang Shuyue froze, looking at the person in his arms with surprise and doubt.
