Chapter 72

In the haze of drunkenness, everything seemed so natural.

Shunde was locally renowned for its fruit wine. Trained monkeys plucked berries from the tall trees, which were exceptionally sweet and perfect for brewing wine. The wine was refreshing and thirst-quenching at first sip, but its aftereffects were potent.

Jiang Xiurun had indeed consumed quite a bit during the feast. As the alcohol’s effects surged, she became unusually wild.

Dressed in a red shirt with her belt undone and collar loose, her pale moon-colored undergarment slightly revealed, her slender legs peeked through the red gauze.

She suddenly flipped over and straddled Feng Liwu, extending a finger to flirtatiously hook his chin, sticking out her tongue and saying, “Which noble family’s son are you, raised so handsome, so endearing? Let your sister check if you’ve grown up, alright?”

Feng Liwu thought that alcohol truly emboldened the timid! Just one pot, and she dared to hook his chin and call herself ‘sister’.

If he didn’t handle this strictly, wouldn’t she become lawless?

He immediately pulled her head down and asked, “How do you plan to check?”

Jiang Xiurun simply lay on top of him, her little tongue licking his ear, whispering breathlessly.

Feng Liwu’s cheeks actually flushed slightly, his eyebrows raised in a stern expression, “Where did you learn such behavior? So wanton?”

On normal days, hearing Feng Liwu raise his voice, Jiang Xiurun would have immediately prostrated on the ground, anxiously begging for the Crown Prince’s forgiveness.

But today, she was thoroughly drunk, acting with reckless abandon, just giggling into his neck, “Hasn’t the Crown Prince accumulated many manuals? How come you’re not up to it now? Could it be all talk? Should I teach you one by one?”

Feng Liwu, accustomed to being in control, now faced a rebellious, lawless temptress in bed.

If he couldn’t handle her, where would the dignity of the Crown Prince of Great Qi lie?

Without further ado, he pulled down the curtains, pinned the giggling woman down, and showed her just how much he had learned…

By the next day, the sun was high, but the Crown Prince and his concubine showed no signs of rising to wash.

When Jiang Xiurun half-opened her eyes, she wasn’t the type to lose her memory after drinking.

As the alcohol wore off, everything came back to her.

The more she thought, the more she broke out in a cold sweat.

She suspected the wine had some courage-boosting, mind-altering ingredient.

Her usual tolerance was decent, so why had she acted so out of character last night?

If the Crown Prince was the type to take advantage and then turn cold, meticulously calculating last night’s events, aside from flirting with a nobleman, even that slap could be seen as an attempt to harm the Dragon Son of Great Qi…

At this thought, her drowsiness was completely scared away.

Despite her sore body, she hurriedly grabbed a robe from outside the blanket, scrambled over the still-sleeping man, and knelt with a thud on the carpet before the couch.

Feng Liwu, disturbed by her movements, frowned and opened his eyes to see the little temptress from last night wearing his robe, kneeling and kowtowing, “Last night… I was truly without virtue due to the wine. If I offended the Crown Prince, it was not intentional, please forgive me.”

The Crown Prince leaned against the bedpost, letting the blanket slip to reveal his scarred, muscular chest, squinting and saying, “From my view, the offenses were numerous. From which one should you start begging for mercy?”

Though kneeling made her back ache, Jiang Xiurun dared not relax her words, quickly trying to make amends, whispering humbly, “The first offense was letting the wine cloud my judgment, dazzled by the Crown Prince’s majestic demeanor, coveting your beauty, unable to control my emotions…”

Once started, everything else flowed easier.

Jiang Xiurun took a breath and continued, “And more so, because Your Highness is a true man, full of masculine vigor, with endless stamina, I couldn’t endure and ended up slapping you. It was my frailty, not letting Your Highness fully enjoy, what fault is that of yours? Yet Your Highness didn’t hold it against me, truly showing the broad mind of a great man…”

Feng Liwu knew that if he let the woman below continue with her flattering and fawning, it would take half a day.

Seeing her struggle to kneel, looking pitiful, he promptly interrupted, “If you keep talking like this, I might feel the energy in my dantian surging again, unable to resist wanting more…”

He spoke the truth; the allure of her soft, boneless body was something only those who had experienced it would know.

Just thinking about it made him feel insatiable.

It was only out of pity for her first experience that he managed to stop after a few times.

Jiang Xiurun inwardly groaned, looking up slightly dazed at the Crown Prince.

Seeing the smile on his lips, she realized he wasn’t serious.

So the Crown Prince got up and carried her back to bed, asking if she felt unwell anywhere.

Jiang Xiurun noticed that Feng Liwu didn’t seem to mind her wild behavior from last night, nor did he label her as a seductive femme fatale to be dragged off and executed, which made her breathe a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but inwardly criticize: the man who seemed so proper on the surface, she thought he preferred the demure and virtuous type.

But now she saw that the reserved and dignified concubine Cao had been neglected in the Crown Prince’s residence, growing moss without the Crown Prince’s favor.

And yesterday she discovered that the seemingly upright Crown Prince, who held the demon-subduing pagoda, actually preferred the seductive and unrestrained type in private… If he didn’t mind concubine Tian’s momentary infidelity, then Tian Ying, with her flirtatious eyes, truly matched Feng Liwu’s taste, no wonder concubine Tian was constantly favored in her past life.

By the time the two got up to eat, it was nearly noon, so they combined two meals into one.

Perhaps because they had finally crossed a line, they suddenly became much closer.

While eating, Feng Liwu casually ate a few bites before peeling shrimp and picking vegetables for Jiang Xiurun, then whispered in her ear to remember to have the maid apply medicine later in the her courtyard, or it would delay her serving him at night.

Jiang Xiurun, who had initially hoped to let the Crown Prince tire of her in one go, never expected that she would be such an inadequate dish, completely insufficient for the Crown Prince’s appetite!

Hearing that he wanted more at night, her eyes reddened, her soul panicked, and she timidly held her chopsticks, whispering that she really couldn’t handle it anymore, and since she didn’t have any suitable maids, maybe they should quickly buy two decent ones from the market for the Crown Prince?

Feng Liwu pinched her cheek, saying, “If you keep talking nonsense, I have plenty of ways to discipline you, making sure you can’t get out of bed again.”

When the Crown Prince, satiated and refreshed, went to the riverbank for a final inspection, Jiang Xiurun lay limp on the bed.

Suddenly realizing that pretending to be Concubine Yao only made it easier for the Crown Prince to be unrestrained, she quickly changed back into Jiang Herun’s male attire, vowing that even if she got heat rash, she would never easily switch back to female clothing once back in the capital.

When she returned to the Young master Jiang’s room, she weakly asked Qian’er to massage her.

Qian’er, seeing the kiss marks peeking out from her mistress’s collar, knowingly asked, “Did the Crown Prince completely take advantage of you?”

Jiang Xiurun turned to look at Qian’er, asking, “Is it that obvious?”

Qian’er, from the countryside, hadn’t read much and had no concept of female chastity.

In the countryside, it was quite common for young men and women who fancied each other to sneak into haystacks together, nothing to make a fuss about.

Seeing her mistress’s calm demeanor, not seeming like she had been forced, it didn’t matter, so she said, “When you came in, you weren’t walking normally, and last night the servants kept asking for water. Besides you, who else could the Crown Prince have slept with?”

Jiang Xiurun was used to her maid’s blunt way of speaking, just sighed, lamenting, “I never thought that my first man in this life would be him…”

Qian’er sensed something in her mistress’s words but didn’t press about whether she would have another man in the future.

She just brought some medicinal oil to massage her waist, but after a couple of rubs, she hesitated, “Oh, I shouldn’t use this on you. What if you conceived a royal child last night? Wouldn’t the medicinal smell harm it?”

Jiang Xiurun thought Qian’er had a point.

The romantic affairs between men and women were but fleeting illusions; parting ways later would be fine, but a child must never come of it.

In her past life, as a mistress, Jiang Xiurun didn’t want her child to be an illegitimate offspring living in the shadows, so she sought a mild and effective contraceptive recipe.

Now, believing her circumstances weren’t much different from her past life, she naturally couldn’t allow a child to be born into suffering.

She wrote down the recipe and had Qian’er secretly prepare it for her.

Meanwhile, the servants were busy packing for the return to the capital the next day, bustling about, so when Qian’er slipped out, no one noticed.

Jiang Xiurun planned to take one last stroll through the market before bidding farewell to Shunde and returning to Luo’an City.

But today, she really couldn’t walk much, so after a short while, she went to a teahouse in the market to rest.

The teahouse was next to a private garden, filled with many precious flowers.

Wanting to admire them carefully, Jiang Xiurun asked her guards to wait outside the teahouse.

As she immersed herself in the fragrance of the flowers, someone silently appeared before her.

Seeing her now, Jiang Xiurun wasn’t too surprised, just calmly said, “May I ask if the entire Shunde area is yours, coming and going so freely?”

Ji Wujiang smiled slightly, “It’s just that the jewelry store you visited and this teahouse are mine, a coincidence.”

Jiang Xiurun raised an eyebrow, not doubting Ji Wujiang’s wealth.

In her past life, he seemed to have many businesses everywhere.

Back then, she had already become Qin Zhao’s mistress, but still unwilling to give up, she tearfully begged him to save her from her misery when she suddenly met a fellow countryman from Bo.

But this Mr. Ji advised her to bide her time, waiting for the right moment to leave Luo’an City with Jiang Zhi.

She knew that Ji Wujiang was dedicated to helping her brother reclaim the throne, and she was just an insignificant princess, so Mr. Ji naturally had no interest in her future.

Now, she harbored no illusions about anyone and wouldn’t cry for an unrelated person to save her.

She just tapped the tea tray with her long finger, “Since you run a teahouse, you should be more attentive, attend fewer banquets, and select some good teas for your shop.”
