Chapter 55 (Text)

  Actually, when the figure rushed out, Han Xi's heart had already been on guard. Looking at the other person using a cloth block with anesthetics to cover her nose, although she didn't know who the other person was, however, she decided not to make a sound and see what the other person wanted to do to her.

  Then Han Xi Tong deliberately struggled a bit, closed her eyes and 'fainted'.

  At this moment, Han Xi felt that she was being carried on someone's shoulder and quickly leaving...

  All the way, Han Xi pretended to be unconscious, but in fact, she was also secretly paying attention to where this person planned to take her. Moreover, judging from his attire, he should be a guard.

  However, this person's guts are really big, and they actually dare to kidnap people in the imperial palace. They're not even afraid of being known, which is a capital offense. Also, who exactly wants to deal with her?

  Han Xi Tong was secretly pondering in her heart, until she realized that when she was brought to the Li Hua Palace, Han Xi Tong's heart gradually became clear.

  Because Li Huagong was the place where that pig-headed prince lived, after what happened last time, she knew that the prince had been banned by the emperor for a month. After that, she hadn't seen the prince again. If it wasn't for this person bringing her to Li Huagong today, Han Xingtong would have long forgotten that there was such a person as the prince!

  But it's strange to say, even if that prince wants revenge, isn't this a bit too late!?

  It's been several months since he was kicked out of the water by her and banned for a month, now it's all good, but he wants revenge, why did it take several months to report?

  Strange! Han Xi Tong was a bit puzzled, but when she was secretly taken to a room by that guard and placed on a bed, Han Xi Tong didn't immediately open her eyes either, because she heard that there were other people in this room.

  So she just kept a low profile and continued to pretend to be dizzy. In fact, she was quietly listening to the conversations of those people in the room.

  "Master, this woman has been brought."

  "Alright, you can leave first!"

  "Yes."

  After the faint footsteps left, there was a moment of silence in the room. Han Xi's eyes listened and found that two footsteps were walking towards the bedside.

  One of the footsteps was that of the Crown Prince, and another one was lighter. When the lighter footsteps approached, Han Xi Tong even smelled a strong perfume, obviously from a woman!

  But who is this woman after all?

  Han Xi Tong's heart had already guessed it, and in the originally quiet room, a soft and hesitant female voice that was laced with unease sounded out.

  "Older brother, what are you planning to do? If people find out about this matter, it's probably not good!"

  The soft and gentle voice was very familiar. Han Xi Tong listened to it, and even if she didn't open her eyes, she would know who it was!

  Isn't that Shu Zhenzhen who was so arrogant and bullying on the same day, but later got taught a lesson by her?

  It seems that because of what happened last time, Shu Zhen has been harboring hatred towards her and is now planning to join forces with the prince to deal with her!

  And it turns out that when she changed her surname, they were two cousins. This really is a case of different families, not entering the same door.

  One is stupid and arrogant, the other is deceitful and cowardly. They think they have talent and possessions, what a perfect match!

  Even if she had only seen the prince once, Han Xi knew that this prince was as dull as a pig. Moreover, the idea of bringing her here this time was probably also thought out by Shu Zhenzhen. If not, even if the prince wanted to take revenge on her, he would have come earlier. He must have had some reservations about Xun Shaoyan, and later it was definitely Shu Zhenzhen who said something in the prince's ear, stirring up his desire for revenge against her!

  With Han Xi Tong's cleverness, she had figured out the whole thing long ago. Moreover, what Han Xi Tong thought was indeed correct - everything was manipulated by Shu Zhen in secret!

  From that day on, after falling in love with the Fourth Prince at the plum blossom forest, her whole heart was devoted to the Fourth Prince. She thought that relying on her beauty, she would definitely win the Fourth Prince's heart and become his fourth princess consort.

  Who would have known, after Han Xi Tong's appearance, the Fourth Prince's gaze never left her again.

  That night, she didn't know what happened at all, only knowing that the Fourth Prince had fallen into the water and was seriously ill the next day.

  She then thought of taking this opportunity to go to the Fourth Prince's residence under the pretext of taking care of the Fourth Prince, so that he would know her kindness.

  Who knew that the fourth prince, who was ill, would spend a whole night in a daze, repeatedly calling out for Han Xi Tong's name.

  At that time, she was so angry in her heart! However, she firmly believed that as long as she stayed by the Fourth Prince's side, he would eventually set his eyes on her.

  Later, she even used many excuses to go to the Fourth Prince's mansion, thinking of adding to her feelings with the Fourth Prince. Everything was proceeding slowly. Who knew that a few days ago, the Fourth Prince suddenly said he was feeling anxious and wanted to hear her play the piano, so she played.

  As for her piano skills, she was still very confident. So, she made a big effort and played a piece of music, but unexpectedly, just halfway through, the fourth prince's face turned gloomy. He even said that the person who played the piano in the plum blossom forest last time was not her!

  Later, she was even driven out of the mansion by the Fourth Prince in a fit of rage, who didn't give her any face and said he never wanted to see her again!

  At this sudden event, Shu Zhen was stunned. She didn't know that the fourth prince would suddenly get so angry.

  Didn't others always say that the Fourth Prince was gentle and courteous to women?!

  Why is the fourth prince's temper so violent and unpredictable this time, making Shu Zhen extremely afraid. Moreover, for some reason, this matter was spread out, and she immediately became the laughing stock of the young ladies from various families during their tea breaks.

  Ji's Shu Zhen was annoyed and instinctively blamed all the mistakes on Han Xi Tong.

  Later, Empress Shu invited her to enter the palace again to accompany her for a few days. During these few days, Shu Zhen inadvertently heard about what happened between the Crown Prince and Han Xi Tong last time, so she planned to use the Crown Prince's hands to get rid of Han Xi Tong.

  Anyway, Huang Zi is the prince of Xuan Yu, even if he did something wrong, Xuan Yu will still consider him as his own son and won't punish him severely.

  After thinking of this, Shu Zhen intentionally added fuel to the fire in front of the prince, telling all about Han Hui's "evil deeds". Her set of baseless skills also made the stupid and dull prince believe it was true. When he got angry, he had his guards secretly bring Han Hui here.

  After all, he had been resentful since the last time. He also resented Emperor's partiality, he was also his son, why did Emperor always favor Seventh Brother? So, in fact, the prince had been very resentful of Xun Xiao Ran.

  Furthermore, last time Han Xi Tong didn't hesitate to kick him into the lake, making him lose all face. He thought he'd get revenge this time, don't think that being a prince makes him easy to bully.

  The more he thought about it, the angrier Prince Geng Li became. His beady little eyes narrowed into slits and his round face turned red with rage as he gritted his teeth and said.

  "Hum! Let them find out what it's like? I am a dignified prince, who dares to treat me like that?"

  With a loud and haughty tone, he paused for a moment, then continued.

  "What's more, this damned woman is really too arrogant, not only did she cause me to lose face, but also got Father Emperor to be confined for a month. Now she dares to bully my cousin, it's really infuriating!"

  Huangzi Gongli said after finishing, and stretched out his salted pig hand, intending to touch Shu Zhenzhen beside him.

  That pig-headed face is as lewd as it gets, and even Shu Zhenzhen felt like vomiting at the sight of it.

  However, she still endured and quickly retreated a step with her feet, thus avoiding Xuan Li's salty pig hand.

  Afraid that Jing Li would make another scene, she immediately changed the subject and hastily asked.

  "Brother-in-law, you've caught her, what are you going to do with her?"

  "Haha, isn't this servant girl being quite arrogant? Last time she dared to scold me as a pig......"

  Realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have, Xuan Li's face turned red with anger and embarrassment.

  Shu Zhen's eyes, which had been carefully painted, flashed with disdain and mockery, but her face showed a look of injustice for her brother.

  "This damn servant girl is really too arrogant, even daring to scold her master! A person like this deserves to die! Brother, why don't we..."

  Just now Shu Zhenzhen still showed a gentle and uneasy appearance, but in the blink of an eye, the vicious color on her face was exposed.

  After all, Shu Zhen was the little princess of the mansion, and she had been arrogant for a long time. Her temper wasn't good either. However, in front of her grandfather, she always put on a clever appearance. In fact, many maidservants had died at her hands in private.

  Because in her eyes, she was a noble young lady, while others were just lowly maids. If anyone did something that displeased her, they would be severely punished, locked in the woodshed, starved, or perhaps even sold to wolf-like men.

  Many maids couldn't bear it and died, she knew about it, her eyebrows wouldn't even frown, she just ordered people to throw those dead bodies into the desolate mountains.

  While listening to Shu Zhenzhen's words, Jing Li's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, apparently somewhat disapproving.

  If it were someone else, they would have been killed, anyway, just a worthless life. But...

  Turning his head to look at the woman on the bed, whose figure was slender and delicate, with a face as beautiful as an angel, Jyunli's beady eyes shone with intense admiration.

  Because he has been lustful since childhood, last time he also set his sights on Han Xi's beauty and had a lustful heart, just as he was about to use force on her, who knew that he would be fiercely taught a lesson by Han Xi without any courtesy.

  Now that he had finally captured her, as he gazed at this breathtakingly beautiful face, Yu's lustful heart stirred again. How could he bear to let such a stunning beauty die?!

  Look at that skin, crystal clear and translucent... And that face, wow...

  The more she thought about it, the more Yu Li's mouth twitched with excitement, and her face was filled with a sly expression.

  Shu Zhen's goosebumps stood on end as she watched Jyun Li's expression, and she naturally understood his thoughts. However, she still had some reservations.

  "Brother-in-law, this is one of Seventh Prince's women, if he finds out about this..."

  "Hmph, today's matter only we know, if we don't say it, who will know!? Hmph, last time didn't this woman show disdain for me? Then I'll thoroughly humiliate her, sell her to a brothel, quietly and secretly, who would suspect us!?"

  In the end, Jing Li's eyes even surged with a hint of ferocity and sinister intent, making his pig-headed face even more lecherous and hideous.

  When Soo-jin heard what Jung-ryeol said, she also thought he was right. This matter was only known to the three of them; if they didn't say anything, who would know that Han Hui-tae had been kidnapped by them?

  What's more, she was extremely displeased with this woman! She looked like a seductress, and not only did she already have the Seventh Prince, but she also went around flirting and snatching away the Fourth Prince. She was so angry that she wanted to slash her face.

  In the end, Soo-jin was just jealous of Hye-mi's beauty.

  After all, she was born with a golden key in her mouth, and her grandfathers were high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Her appearance was also not bad, and from a young age, she had been flattered and pampered by men, treated like a princess.

  But this lowly woman, as soon as she appeared, snatched away the halo that originally belonged to her, how could she not be angry?

  She can't wait for Han Xi Tong to die!

  However, after hearing Soo-yeon's words, Sook-jin changed her mind again. After all, the woman was dead and she was indeed happy about it, but what she would rather see was this damned woman being humiliated by that pig-headed prince and then sold to a brothel where she would be ridden by thousands of men!

  Isn't she fond of flirting? There are plenty of men in the brothel!

  The more she thought about it, the more sinister and pleased Shu Zhen became, as if she had already seen Han Xi Tong being ravaged by countless men and begging for mercy, her mouth curling up into a sinister smile.

  His gaze had long been fixed on Han Xi's beautiful figure and never moved away. Naturally, he didn't see the venomous look on Shu Zhen's face.

  Later, Shu Zhen also stopped disturbing Xun Li, making an excuse that she wanted to accompany her aunt and turned around to leave.

  Xing Li didn't even bother to keep her, after all, there was such a stunning beauty in front of him now, his three souls and six spirits were almost hooked by Han Xi's eyes.

  Lian Shu Zhen didn't know when he left, and that pair of extremely despicable old mouse eyes were now tightly fixed on Han Xi's body.

  "Tsk, tsk, tsk, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! She's really a stunning beauty! What is Seventh Brother anyway? Humph, why do all the good things belong to him?! Relying on Father Emperor's favor is already enough, and even such a beautiful woman belongs to him, why?! Hmph! He doesn't like this woman very much and protects her very well? Then I'll make him wear a green hat!"

  For Xiang Xi Ran who had been pressing on his head all the time, Xiang Li was resentful to the bone. It's rare to have this opportunity, and he certainly won't let it go!

  Especially this beauty in front of him, she is the most beautiful one he has ever seen since he was young, even Xie Yu is not as good as one tenth of her!

  Just by looking, Liuli felt that all the blood in his body was starting to boil up, however, he didn't immediately go up and pounce on Han Xuetian. Instead, he turned around and rummaged through a drawer, pulling out a wooden box.

  That wooden box looked ordinary, but when Jing Li took it out, his face was even more sly and smiling, with an even more lewd expression.

  Because inside this wooden box are all the spring aphrodisiacs, erotic pictures, long whips and iron chains he has collected over the years.

  In the palace, it was only rumored that the prince had a lustful nature, but unexpectedly, he also had a tendency to be abusive. What he liked to see most was the women under him begging for mercy in pain, and that would make him even more excited!

  There were countless women who couldn't stand his perverted abuse and died. It's just that these things were all covered up by him and not discovered by others.

  At this moment, the prince is seen placing a wooden box filled with Spring One Medicine on the table. He first puts a package of Spring One Medicine on the table, then holds a long whip in one hand and a candle in the other, seemingly hesitating about which to use next.

  "Hehe, a whip lash on the flesh is the best, this candle dripping on that tender skin, hehe, it's definitely going to be great... but which one should I choose this time..."

  Just as Prince Qianli was hesitating, a voice with a playful and disdainful tone slowly emerged from behind him, causing the prince's back to stiffen suddenly.

  "Haha, whipping? Waxing? Not bad, not bad, I like both! That feeling, definitely intense!"

  That clear and melodious laughter, so moving and pleasant to the ear, was like the oriole's song in the valley. However, when it reached the ears of the swinish prince standing before her, it was like a thunderclap that struck him with a loud crash!

  "What, how is this possible? It must be an illusion, it must be an illusion... She clearly fainted from the anesthetic..."

  It was as if he was comforting himself, Huang Zilong muttered to himself and slowly turned his head.

  When a stunningly beautiful face appeared in front of him, Jing Li was indeed startled.

  All he saw was that the girl who should have been lying in bed and sleeping, was now standing behind him with her arms crossed.

  Her face was adorned with a captivating and radiant smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Those beautiful eyes were instead filled with intense disdain and contempt, as if looking at him like a clown. This made Prince Jingli's heart suddenly stiffen.

  Those bean-sized eyes of the old mouse, after seeing Han Xi's pupils behind him, were widened to the size of a copper bell. Even his words were stuttered and out of tune.

  "You, you, you..."

  "Really unexpected?"

  Han Xi's eyes narrowed as she gazed at the exaggerated, terrified expression on the pig-headed face in front of her, a hint of disdain flashing in her pupils.

  Damn it, it's incredibly ugly! How dare you play with it!?

  He let out a cold laugh, and Han Xi Tong didn't bother to waste any more words on him. Just as Xun Li was about to shout for help after being shocked, he remembered that Han Xi Tong wasn't someone to be trifled with, especially after what happened last time - she could kick him flying with just one foot. With a shadow in his heart, he was just about to call out for people when Han Xi Tong beat him to it, knocking him unconscious with a single knife-hand strike.

  As that clumsy body fell with a thud, the long whip and candle in Cui Li's hand also dropped to the ground.

  Han Xi's eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly and elegantly swung the long whip in his hand, making a "whooshing" sound twice, and a cold smile played on the corner of his mouth.

  Although Han Xi Tong never kills anyone, it doesn't mean she's a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others!

  I won't harm others if they don't harm me; but if they harm me, I will return it tenfold!

  This time, she used his own method against him!

  ……

  That day, the sky was high and the air was fresh, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine. A line of wild geese flew slowly across the vast sky, adding vitality to the magnificent horizon.

  The osmanthus trees planted in the Xiao Ya Palace have long since bloomed, with golden osmanthus flowers covering the entire tree top. At first glance, they appear warm and yellow.

  The wind blows by, and those small, delicate osmanthus flowers fill the sky and fall gently. The scene is truly beautiful!

  That afternoon, Han Xi Tong returned to Xiao Ya Palace with You Er and other palace maids and eunuchs of Xiao Ya Palace to pick osmanthus flowers under the osmanthus tree.

  After picking a big basket of osmanthus flowers, Han Xi Tong brought the palace maids and eunuchs to the kitchen, personally cooking osmanthus cake, osmanthus pumpkin pie, osmanthus wine, and osmanthus crab claws, serving a full course of osmanthus dishes!

  Han Xi's cooking skills left Ruo Er utterly shocked. Moreover, the dishes she made were particularly innovative; they only knew that osmanthus could be used to make osmanthus cake and osmanthus wine, but didn't know it could also be used to make osmanthus milk tea, osmanthus pumpkin pie, and osmanthus hairy crab.

  And after they were done, the right sons and daughters all stood up with their thumbs up, and they admired Han Xi Tong even more. They simply praised Han Xi Tong to the sky and down to the ground.

  "Wow, you're so cool!"

  On the side, the right-hand man stared at Han Xi's eyes as she skillfully made the Osmanthus crab claws, and immediately disbelievingly widened his good-looking starry eyes, saying with a face full of admiration.

  "Haha, what's so great about it? As long as you like eating, you'll naturally learn to cook, and besides, it's not that hard!"

  Han Xi Tong smiled as she said, while removing the lid, washing the internal organs clean, scraping off the crab roe, and cutting the crab into pieces that were then stir-fried in a hot wok with vegetable oil. Her technique was extremely skilled, not showing any signs of awkwardness at all.

  As soon as the crab turned golden yellow, the chopped mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and scallions were added to the pot and stir-fried together. The aroma wafting from the wok was so enticing that it almost made Rourou and the others drool.

  At the sight of Ruo Er's appearance, like a greedy little kitten, Han Xi couldn't help but smile slightly. Then, he slowly poured the beaten eggs into the constantly stir-frying hot pot, and when the egg mixture was cooked, he served it immediately.

  After making osmanthus crab roe, Han Xi went to make osmanthus milk tea. In fact, she often makes osmanthus milk tea for herself in modern times.

  Although she was a thief, after all, she was just a little woman. At that time, she kept planning, waiting for them to save enough money, then they would close the mountain and travel around the world together, find a beautiful place with scenery like poetry, and live there. She would be like other women, become a happy little wife, give birth to children for her beloved man, and live an ordinary happy life, who knows...

  The plan can't keep up with changes, maybe she doesn't know who to trust!

  Han Xi Tong couldn't help but smile wryly to herself, and then focused on making the osmanthus milk tea in her hands. After letting the kitchen stir-fry a few home-cooked dishes, she went outside to follow other palace maids to make osmanthus wine.

  The osmanthus wine is now well-made and has to wait for a year before drinking, so Han Xi Tong just prepared osmanthus milk tea earlier.

  After finishing what I had on hand, I looked up at the sky and saw that Xiāo Rán was almost back, so I asked You'er to prepare hot water and planned to take a bath first.

  Because just now in the kitchen, got a whole body of greasy smell, although it's not stinky, but she still likes her whole body to be dry and refreshing.

  Soon, Rong Er had prepared hot water for her and sprinkled freshly picked rose petals into the bathtub. In an instant, the entire room was filled with the fragrance of roses.

  After waiting for Ruo Er to leave and closing the door from the outside, Han Xi slowly walked to the edge of the bathtub and untied the hairband on her head.

  In an instant, a head of soft and smooth long hair like high-quality silk poured down behind her back, reaching her waist. Her shoulders were stained with ink.

  She stretched out her hand and untied the white belt around her waist, then immediately revealed a slender and alluring figure.

  Looking at the bathtub filled with flower petals in front of her, Han Xi first stretched out her hand to test the water temperature before slowly stepping into the bathtub.

  Feeling the warm water flow surrounding her entire body, the comfortable feeling made Han Xi's eyes involuntarily let out a soft sigh, and she lazily leaned against the edge of the bathtub with her eyes closed.

  However, Han Xi Tong didn't rest in the bathtub for long, knowing that Xuan Xiao Ran would be back soon. She quickly finished her bath and walked to the large round mirror with her small white feet bare, carefully examining her current body.

  For this body of hers, Han Xi Tong was extremely satisfied. Not only was she very young, only sixteen years old, but it was also the time when women were most delicate and charming.

  That small face, smooth and delicate as a peeled egg, with skin so fine it seems to be blown away by the slightest breeze, even standing in the sunlight, there is not a single blemish, nor can you see a single fine hair.

  Her eyebrows are like mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is delicate and her lips are cherry-like, she has a natural charm that makes her three points more beautiful than modern people.

  A head of dripping wet long hair, tightly clinging to that beautiful body that makes one's blood boil with excitement. Suddenly becoming even more charming!

  Slender and delicate, skin like frozen cream, beautiful neck, sensitive collarbone, small waist that can be grasped in one hand, long legs...

  Although it's not the first time she saw her own body, Han Xi Tong was still amazed by the beauty in the mirror. Moreover, this time, what surprised her even more was that her breasts seemed to have gotten bigger!

  Originally it was just a small steamed bun, but after only a few months, it gradually moved towards attacking meat buns.

  No wonder she's been feeling a bit bloated in her chest lately. That makes sense, after all, this body of hers is only sixteen years old and still developing!

  Yes, it's really good, very tempting!

  No wonder men all like women with big breasts!

  However, just as Han Xi Tong was admiring herself in front of the large mirror, suddenly, the intricately carved wooden door that had been slightly ajar swung open with a 'creak', and a tall, slender figure rushed in like an arrow, accompanied by a familiar yet irrepressible voice full of excitement and joy.

  "Your eyes, did you really make those dishes yourself... uh..."

  The young man hadn't finished speaking when he was shocked by what he saw in front of him, his eyes wide with wonder, his mouth agape, and his whole body as if struck by a magic spell, standing there motionless.

  And this person was none other than Xiang Shaoyan who had just returned from class!

  He had just returned to the Xiao Ya Palace when he saw You Er with a smile all over his face, saying that today's dishes were personally cooked by Han Xi Tong.

  Upon hearing this, Xing felt an overwhelming excitement in her heart, as if she had grown wings and was about to fly into the sky. So, without waiting for Rong Er to say anything else, she rushed towards Han Xi Tong's room with lightning speed.

  The door was only slightly ajar, so Xiang suddenly pushed it open and rushed in. Who would have thought that what she saw was this scene...

  A beautiful girl with a naked body, her long hair hanging tightly behind her back, setting off her skin as white as snow, tender and delicate like porcelain. What's most shocking is that she's standing in front of the mirror making all sorts of seductive movements.

  That posture, those movements, even a saint would be unable to resist going crazy!

  What's more, it was Xiang Yanran, who had just fallen in love and was full of vigor!

  As she watched the scene unfolding before her eyes, Xiang suddenly felt a surge of heat rushing up to her head at an incredible speed. Her face was scorching hot, as if it could be used to fry eggs.

  A pair of slender phoenix eyes were now wide open like bronze bells, reflecting a snow-white delicate body, and the small pink mouth was now wide open, with suspicious water marks flowing out...

  At the sight of the young man's wide-eyed and red-eared expression, Han Xi's eyes, which had been frozen in shock, snapped back to attention and let out a loud shriek.

  "Ah - you're such a pervert!"

  After the scream, Han Xi immediately grabbed a towel from the screen beside her and wrapped her naked body tightly.

  "Uh... Tong Er, I didn't mean to... Don't panic... Anyway, it's not like I haven't seen yours before..."

  Xiao Ran hastily and nervously said, her words becoming more and more stuttered due to her shyness.

  However, he didn't regret rushing in without warning at all. If he hadn't, how could he have seen such a vivid and lively scene!?

  Heaven knows, since he had a taste of that bone-penetrating flavor, he almost every night would recall it!

  After all, he is a normal man, with his beloved woman by his side, it's no wonder that he would feel a little romantic.

  Unfortunately, since the last drunken incident, Han Hui had strictly forbidden him from drinking again and also not allowed him to touch her!

  That kind of thing that can be seen but cannot be touched, can be touched but cannot be eaten, can be eaten but cannot be swallowed, is really painful to the extreme!

  He performs a bitter and pathetic act in front of Han Xiuxiu every day, just to beg her to be kinder to him. He is sincere and not irresponsible after eating his fill. Unfortunately, this trick no longer works on Han Xiuxiu!

  So now there's a mistake, Xiang Xiao Ran must see it through to the end.

  Those phoenix eyes are now wide open, fearing that they will miss this great opportunity and there won't be a next time!

  Han Xi Tong saw Xing Xiao Ran standing still, not leaving, but instead staring at her with wide eyes, his scorching gaze seeming to penetrate the bath towel on her body.

  Han Xi Tong saw that, and the hands holding the bath towel tightened even more, with a hint of defense. It was as if there was a starving wolf standing in front of her, which could pounce on her at any time and devour her completely, leaving no bones behind!

  Indeed, Xiang Xiao Ran nowadays indeed has such thoughts!

  He has been abstinent for two months, and the only woman he can see but not eat is Han Xi Tong. He's been holding back for a long time, if he holds back any longer, he'll get sick.

  The more I think about it, my blood starts to boil, my eyes blaze with intensity, my cheeks flush red, and even my breathing becomes disordered.

  "Pupil..."

  Her slightly opened lips, as tender as blood, her slender and elegant voice, because of the intense emotions that made it hoarse and low, yet damn it's so sentimental!

  It makes people listen, and they can't help but feel a thrill, as if there's an electric current that spreads from the soles of their feet to their limbs and bones, making them all numb.

  He also looked at Han Xi's good-looking Danfeng eyes, the eye color was more subdued than usual, with seven parts of heat and three parts of grievance, like a starving little dog waiting for its owner to feed it.

  Then, he saw that he, who had been standing still the whole time, began to walk forward. One step at a time, walking extremely slowly, but with great care.

  However, the goal is firm!

  "You, stop! Don't let you come over here!"

  "Don't be like this, Tong Er..."

  Xiao Ran's red lips pouted on one side, speaking with extreme grievance, but her footsteps quickened by a fraction.

  "And you can't treat me and Xiao Ranyan like this..."

  "Huh? Xiao Ranran..."

  After hearing this, Han Xi's mouth corners twitched slightly. Moreover, she also found that the little white rabbit had grown bolder, and although she had told him not to come over, he was walking even faster now.

  He had a calm expression, but pretended not to see the twitch at the corner of Han Xi's mouth, and instead wore an innocent and yearning face, saying pitifully.

  "Yes, Xiao Ran is really hungry, won't Tong'er be so heartless as to ignore Xiao Ran?"

  As he spoke, Xun Xiao Ran took another step forward. And as he took a step forward, Han Xi's eyes retreated a step back.

  Kept a distance from Xun, until Han Xi's eyes had nowhere to retreat, and he was forced to stop in front of the large mirror behind him.

  At a glance, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the depths of his eyes, fleeting so quickly that it was hard to catch.

  He was secretly delighted, the opportunity had come!

  Endured for two months, finally can eat meat now, how could he not be excited!?!

  With a wild joy in her heart, Xun's footsteps quickened, and just as he was about to pounce on Han Xi Tong's body, who would have thought ——

  "Xīng Tóng, what's going on?!"

  A voice filled with a few parts of worry and anxiety suddenly came from outside the door, causing the two people in the room to change their faces.

  Different from Han Xi Tong who let out a sigh of relief, Xing Xiao Ran's face sank and his heart was filled with regret.

  Damn it, how could he have forgotten? Earlier, Eldest Brother had followed him to the Xiao Ya Palace. He must have heard Ling'er's scream outside and thought something had happened, so he rushed over.

  With a heart full of regret, however, Xing Xiao Ran still shot Han Xi Tong a glance with an extremely wronged and resentful gaze, before dashing straight out the door.

  Because he was too excited just now, he rushed in without closing the door. Ting'er is his woman, so he can't let other men see her so beautiful.

  "Big royal brother, how did you end up on this side?"

  "Oh, I just heard Tong'er shouting loudly in the hall, did something happen to Tong'er?"

  "It's nothing, I just saw a cockroach and got startled."

  "Oh, that's good then..."

  Until the sound of their voices faded into the distance, Han Xi knew that Xuan Xiao Ran and Xuan Tian Qi had already walked far away, only then did she let out a deep sigh of relief.

  Those good-looking eyebrows were even more knotted together. Because, at this moment her brain was in a mess. She couldn't figure it out either.

  She is now a woman of elegance and refinement, and Xun Xiuran treats her extremely well.

  She also admitted that she really liked him too. After all, who can resist such a lovely young man!?

  But she also knew that her liking for Xiang Shao Ran was just a simple liking, and perhaps it was also the liking of an younger brother.

  She also knew that Xun Xian had been trying very hard to make her fall in love with him, only...

  Why is she very nervous and resistant in her heart about his pursuit?

  Moreover, at the last moment, she heard a familiar voice outside the door. As she let out a sigh of relief, her heart suddenly panicked, as if afraid that the person outside would walk in...

  What's wrong with her?!

  ……

  When Han Xi Tong was dressed and walked out, Jing Tian Qi and Jing Xiao Ran were already waiting for her.

  At that time, the two people didn't know what they were saying to each other. On those two faces with 50-60% similarity in their handsome features, there was an obvious joyful smile.

  As soon as Han Xi Tong appeared, the conversation immediately came to a halt. The two of them stood up at the same time and looked over in her direction. Moreover, those two pairs of beautiful phoenix eyes also flashed with a hint of astonishment.

  "Xi Tong, you're out! Quick, sit down! I've been waiting to try the dishes you made with your own hands. Looks like I'm in luck today, arriving just as you were cooking, hehe..."

  His Tianqi smiled, as if bathed in the warm breeze of spring, making that handsome and peerless face even more stunning, so beautiful that it made people's hearts beat wildly.

  It also made the palace maids who were waiting on the side stare with wide eyes, only three souls and seven spirits hadn't been hooked away by him!

  Hearing Tianqi's words, Hanxi's beautiful eyes turned around and smiled at Tianqi.

  "Hehe, I only made some home-cooked dishes, how can they be compared to the imperial palace's royal kitchen? Just don't despise them later, okay?"

  "Xī Tóng you're speaking nonsense, as long as it's something you've made, I'll definitely finish the whole thing, and I'm sure what you make is always delicious. Just now, Yòu'ér was constantly praising you from the side."

  Tian Qi said with a sincere face, her bright eyes shining brightly, radiating warm and gentle light, like the glow of a night pearl, beautiful yet soft.

  "Haha, you said it yourself, later on you have to finish everything, otherwise I won't listen to you."

  Han Xi Tong deliberately put on a fierce face, looking like a black boss collecting protection fees. His cheeks were puffed up and his eyes sparkled with a hint of laughter and petulance, causing Xuan Tian Qi's heart to skip a beat.

  Looking at Han Xi Tong's lovely and charming appearance, Xuan Tian Qi also forgot that she was his seventh brother's woman, and being with Han Xi Tong was both warm and delightful.

  However, compared with Han Xi Tong and Jing Tian Qi's pleasant conversation, that guy Jing Xiao Ran was clearly being ignored.

  Those eyes, which showed a few points of sadness and pitifulness, were tightly fixed on Han Xi's pupils, like a small dog that was afraid of losing favor.

  However, Han Xi Tong was still a bit angry about what had just happened, so she pretended not to see him.

  Then the three of them sat down, chatting and laughing while enjoying the delicious food in front of them.

  Of course, the ones chatting and laughing were only Han Xi Tong and Xuan Tian Qi, while Xuan Xiao Ran was so angry that he almost bit his chopsticks in half.

  Finally, seeing Han Xi Tong still hadn't looked at her, Xuan Xiao's red lips curled up slightly, and then, as if she had thought of something, her phoenix eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately picked up her chopsticks and picked up a dish of Osmanthus fish that Han Xi Tong usually loved to eat, placing it in his bowl. A cute little face appeared on hers as she said in a flattering tone.

  "Little pupil, how about your favorite Osmanthus fish?"

  Listening to Xun's words and looking at his face, which was both pleasing and pitiful, he was extremely lovely and pathetic. Anyone who saw him couldn't help but want to cherish him dearly.

  Not to mention that Han Xi Tong wasn't really angry with him, she was just pretending to scare him and see if he dared to mess with her again!

  With a thought in her mind, Han Xi Tong elegantly picked up the chopsticks under Xun Xiao Ran's expectant gaze and finished off the Osmanthus fish in the bowl.

  Xiao Ran saw Han Xi Tong eating the Osmanthus fish he had brought, and knew that Han Xi Tong had forgiven him. He felt a sense of relief in his heart, and the smile on his face became even more radiant.

  So, she became even more enthusiastic about helping Han Xi Tong with her meals.

  "Come, Ling'er, have some crystal dumplings, lotus chicken, spring rolls..."

  "Alright, alright! Stop just serving me dishes and hurry up and eat yourself!"

  Kyung-seok continued to serve himself dish after dish without taking a single bite, and Han-hui immediately spoke up.

  Xing Xiao Ran listened, the corner of his mouth hooked up, and he smiled a happy and sweet smile. He lightly said "good" and then picked up his chopsticks to pick up a piece of Guihua Shuangzi crab made by Han Xi Tong.

  This osmanthus-flavored steamed crab was the first time Xiang Yan had eaten it, because no one here would ever use osmanthus to cook crab. Moreover, the flavor was not inferior to that of the imperial kitchen at all, and Xiang Yan couldn't help but praise it with every bite.

  "Wow, you're so great! Is this delicious crab dish really made by you?!"

  Her bright eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

  Because of seeing Han Xi Tong's slender fingers, both hands not stained with spring water, he simply did not know that Han Xi Tong could cook, and, unexpectedly, it was so delicious.

  In an instant, Xiang's calm heart was deeply enveloped by a strong and intense happiness.

  Because now he seems to have already obtained happiness from all over the world!

  And his whole world is actually just Pupil...

  Compared to Xiang Xiao Ran's happiness, that guy Xiang Tian Qi saw Han Xi Tong and Xiang Xiao Ran serving each other food, and Han Xi Tong's doting on Xiang Xiao Ran. The happiness on Xiang Xiao Ran's face made him really envious...

  But now, no matter how much he envies and regrets, the only thing he can do is to bless Xi Tong. As long as he sees her happiness, he will be at peace...

  Just then, as the three of them were eating with gusto and chatting away, suddenly, Xiao Dezi, who had been waiting outside the door, rushed in with a flustered expression on his face, shouting loudly.

  "It's bad, Your Highness, something has happened..."
